NO CHANGE NECESSARY.
Mrs. Captain McFee Says That the
Blue Bonnet Fills the Bill.

1t has been reported that tho ladies of
the Salvation army would soon don a new
style of headwear. that the blueshaker
hat would be substituted by a bonnet of
lighter color, trimmed with white lace
on which would be a red ribbon bearing
the Inscription "Armee du Salut."
When Mrs. Captain McFee was seen YES
change of headgear, she said that she
knew nothing about it. "Iam in close com
munication with General Booth and his
wife," remarked Mis-. McFee. land they
have said nothing to me about it. ] am
sure if such change was thought of Mrs.
Booth would let me know concerning il.
"The hat we now wear is very service
able one and j don't sea how it can be
improved. Two bonnets will last our girls
three years. A hat with lace would not
last long. The lace would soon turn yell
low"
'"Ibere has been a change made in
the weight OF the hat in England" said
Mrs. McFee. "and perhaps that is what
those newspaper articles have reference
to. We have summer hat and a winter
hat. The straw 10 the winter hat is
heavier then that of the summer. But they
are the same style and color. Heretofore,
in England, the women soldiers have worn
one bonnet the year round. But this year
General Booth has adop ed the American
system"
Mrs. McFee said that there bad been a
slight alteration in the shape of the mems
cap, but not TO amount to anything. The
crown is now made a little higher.

UNITY IN LABOR RANKS.

The coming Of John Burns VIII have much
TO do with bringing together and solidifying
the conflicting interests that prevent Ameri-
can workiHgmen from enjoying the prosper
ity our system Of government and the great
resources that this country should guaran-
tee. 1t will in fact mark the beginning of
movement that should eventually destroy our
method Of relying upon politics and party
platforms to protect the rights Of the masses.
Strange as it may appear, the status of
American workingmen presents the only
political paradox TO be found in any country.
Our wordngmen are at once king-makers
and serfs. Their votes create both political
fyrants and slaves. By virtue Of our Con-
stitutiou they can rise TO the highest positions
OF public trust, and yet, by the use of the
ballot. they deprive themselves of that right,
and more often than otherwise, confer author
ity on unworthy recipients They are IN
crowned kings, with power to create and
execute wholesome laws for their own and
their countrys benefit, and yet history shows
that they transfer that power to men who
use it in the interests Of classes.
American workingmen must learn to subor-
dinate individual interests to the good of all
and to rely upon united action in protection
OF their rights rather than on the oft-repeated
promises Of politicians. When laws are de-
fective or biased they should be repealed or
amended so as to do justice to rich and poor
alike. and when public officers discharge
their duties harmfully or in the interests of
monopolies, they should be deposed and di-
vested OF authority.
The advice OF John Burns on the power of
organized labor is worthy of heed. All labor
should organize in this age of Capitalization,
and it should have but one object, one grand
purpose, the social and intellectual advance
ment Of the industrial classes. This object
can never be accomplished so long as work
ingmen are swayed by political preiudices,
nor can the good work of labor reformers be
realized unless workirgmen lay aside per-
sonal contention. factional chickering's, and
net IN harmony, both in labor circles and at
the polls.

THE OLD. OLD STORY.

The recommendation OF Public Printer
Benedict that land be purchased south Of the
present printing Office and that an extension
be made TO the old structure is worthy of
careful consideration. According to his state
ment great saving in expense would be
made, and that an appropriation OF only
S5I. 900 would be required in addition to the
s250,0OO already appropriated TO make the
purchase and erect a six-story building.
The Committee on Public Buildings and
Grounds. like the earth, moves slowly and
can seldom be hurried from its methodical
way Of doing business, but when lives are in
eopar dy and public property in Danger OF
destruction even so slothlike creature as a
Congressman ought to awaken to the necessity
OF prompt action Appeals, by petition, through
the press and 10y word Of mouth have been
made to this committee for a decision on the
printing Office site, and the only response
elected has been report that the committee
could not agree.
Why cannon this committee agree on
question of so great Importance? What is
the factor that prevents supposedly honest
men from. m.reaching decision when the safety
Of lives and property depends upon the
promptness Of tha1decision? Let the history
OF the controversy answer.
Once again the question is before the public.
Mr.. Benedict's report deserves consideration.
As public official, at the head OF the print
ing bureau, his position demands that recog-
milton. He may not know as much about
real estate as some of the lobbyists who are
trying to control the purchase of printing
Office site, but he knows the needs of his de-
partment the urgency OF the situation, and if
the truth were made public, could probably
give little inside history of the work of the
committee that would be decidedly interest

INCOME TAX INJUNCTION.
Demurrer Filed in Suit That Has Excited
Little Interest.

Demurrer Filed in a Suit That Has Excited
Little interest
Assistant Attorney General Whitney has
filed in the District supreme court demurrer
to the complaint OF John G.. Moore against
Commissioner Miller, of the Internal Revenue
Bureau, in which he asks for an injunction
restraining the latter from collecting the in
come tax authorized by the new tariff act.
The demurrer is very brief and gene al in its
terms, setting forth that the conn lainant has
not made such a case as ent ties him in 3
court OF equity TO the relief sought.
At the request of Mr.. Whitney the case Is
set for hearing on January 9. The case Is
attracting little attention among the govern
ment officials, many Of whom express the
Op. Mon that the complainant has absolutely
no case. The officials OF the Derartm Mt Of
Justice regard the constitutional question as
settled by a series Of Supreme Court deci-
sions.
