What by courtesy is termed morgue in
this city is really anything but what in
other large cities is called by that name.
1t has absolutely none OF even the most
necessary appliances, even for so pitt
fully small place as it is. 1t lacks
the most ordinary conveniences, and as for
its sanitary condition, that can be best
designated by the figure o.
Washington ought to have a moTgue
equal to the best to be found anywhere,
II need not be as large, perhaps, as those
in New York or Paris, but it should
be as well equipped as any OF them. In
Paris the morgues are in thickly settled
neiGhborhoods, but except for the sign
that indicates their presence, people would
never know that corpses, a dozen at a
time, upon occasions, are kept there, some
times for weeks, to await identification.
There ought TO be in this city moTgue
OF sufficient capacity, OF the best sani-
tary construction, provided with every con-
venience and appliance necessary for its
gruesome uses, wen lighted, well yenti-
lated, with the requisite number Of intel
ligent attendants. The ConlmisSi oners
ought to put a sufficient amount for such a
one in the book OF estimates, and urge
its appropriation as soon as Congress as
sembles.

AS THE CROWDS COME OUT.

A full and friendly house greeted Mr..
obert Downing and his accomplished wife,
Eugene Blair, at Aliens Grand Opera
House. where they played the hero ard
heroine in Sardou S sOmber tragedy.
Helena"
As usual. when the capabilities OF these
actors are so familiar TO people here, the
question was not whether their interpretd-
ton OF their roles would be artistic. but
what of the new and interesting Sardou
had given 10 an always eXpectant pubic.
As in ''GiSmonda," =" the author treads on
very delicate ground, but in Helena as
presented last night the delicacy OF the
situation and condition is not nal so
obtrusive in the former play.
In Helena" the grand motive is the
atOnnMeut for wrong done the heroine, 10y
practical test on the partOf the hero. The
subllulty OF the Injured heToine's character
lies in tier forgiveness Of the WrunEuOer
for hif mercy shown 60 her conquered party
and fellow citizens.

LABOR DAY"

Unfurl your banner to the breeze;
Let JOY pervade each manly heart,
And bend forever energies
To play the square and honest part.
The nation gives you this great day
To teach the world that equal laws
Are made alike for grave or gay
To rule the right and Union cause.
Then bear no banner but the flag
That waved above the tyrant's grave,
And let it float DER stream and crag,
The Stars and Stripes DER Iife's wild
wave.
To Labor Day. let's sing and cheer
And make the very welllin ring
With capital from year to year,
And Labor as its mighty Ktngl

THE DESTINY or ORG AIMED

dominating influence Gor good in the
fullre oi ,his country, and ii is worth
while for those opposed TO organized labor
80 study its growth ard proportioHate
strength before veBturing adverse opinions.
Seventenths Of the voters of tie United
States are W8gc-CarnCTs-men who labor
for daily hire. They belong TO a class that
takes an active part in politics, but whose
Influence as a body is not yet felt because
they are divided into political factions.
One OF the objects Of organized labor is
10 educate wage-earners to elect loyal
R6herents to public office and to crystal
HE and put in force through proper legis-
iation certain principles which shah re-
lease the masses from the burdens that
now embarrass them.
Selfprotection has made this policy
necessary, ard because il involves the
welfare OF all working people it is becoming
more popular as organized labor gathers
strength and influence. 1t has not yet
become a contest at The polls between
Wage-earnerS who are willing 10 uut
aside the prejudice Of politics and thu
politicians who have been voting them, but
that time is coming, and with ii viii be
feA the influence Of such men as made un

truly said that the destiny OF organized
labor is TO overthrow one or both OF the
prcsent political parties.

ANOTHER EXCLUSION ACT.

Senator White, OF California, expects
to introduce a bill in the next Congress ex-
Guiding the japanese. The reason for this
proposed legislation is that the Japs are
coming to this country in large numbers
and win soon be as obnoxious rs the Chinese.
As matter of fact, any race that cheapens
wages and fills our cities with people
whose habits, religion and antecedents pre-
vent their becoming naturaHzed citizens
should be prohibited from entering this
country except as sightseeing visitors.
The Japanese. like the Chinese, have no
interest in common with the American
people Their customs are foreign and I'M
chaugeabIe. their rate OF wages is fixed
by a canary bird diet, their religion is un-
suited to our Christian views, and their
admission as residents can be nothing else
but detrimental to American interests.
The same could be said OF several of the
I5Ter classes of European emigrants were
il not that they in time become American
lied and through intermarriage lose their
foreign identity. Their importation by cor
porations as operatives in mines and fac
tories has been extremely injurious to
American labor, but since the contract
emigration law went into effect their coming
has been greatly lessened and the injury
TO that extent has been diminished.
While tHe japanese may BE- superior 10 the
Chinese in some respects, we want no more
OF either Of them at present. Both are
Of race that America can well dispense
with, and each has already displaced
American labor. Senator White cannot in
uroduce a better bin than the one he pro-
poses, and Congress cannot perform more
acceptable act than to make it law as
soon as pussibie.

No more lamentable death ever occurred
than that which overlook William Sexton,

and while half dead for want of sleep

Realizing his exhausted condition Sexton
laid his head on the rail, thinking that the

The train came and Sexton was beheaded.
