About the most important event
connected with the opening week of
the new fiscal year was the removed of
Prof. Harrington, who has been chief
of the Weather Bureau ever since it
passed uuder the control of civilians.
About the middle Cof last month,
President Cleveland asked for
his resignation; but he declined to
resign. Prof. Harrington says he
was removed because he woull not
give his conseut to replacing skilled
scientists employed by the bureau
with politicians. Secretary Morton
refuses to discuss the matter, but his
friends say that the whole trouble has
come because of the failure of Prof.
Harrington to recognize that he was
a subordinate of the Secretary of Ag-
1icuIture. You can believe either
you please.

TRIED TO PASS BETWEEN CARS.
Thomas p. Wright Carelessly Placed His
Life in Jeopardy on the Railroad.

Thomas p. Wright Carelessly Placed His
Life in Jeopardy on the Railroad.
A thrilling accident happened on the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad at the First
and E street crossing about $50 o'clock
last night. Thomas P Wright, a colored
printer, with four young colored men,
wanted to cross the tracks at that point,
but their way was blocked by a train of
freight cars which were standing on the
main track.
The men then attempted to pass between
the cars, and all had gotten through safely
but Wright, when the locomotive backed
down against the cars and they crashed
together. Wright's left foot was caught
between the bumpers and nearly crushed
off. The momentum of the train caused
him TO topple forward, and he fell head
downward, being suspended by the injured
member.
AS quickly as possible he was released
from his perilous position and the Sixth
precinct patrol wagon summoned. The
injured man was quickly removed to the
Emergency Hospital and treated by DR..
Church. Wright resides at No. 170S
Tenth street northwest, and is employed
in the printing office at No. 1908 R street.

ETHICS IN LABOR QUESTIONS.
Hon. Carroll ID. wrighfs Lecture at the
Catholic University.

| iOn- CaTfoit ID. HTiSntS g Lecture AT the
| Catholic University.
| Hon. Carroll d. Wright, Commissioner
! of Labor. addressed large audience yes
terday afternoon i'll the lecture room at the
Catholic University. Bishop Keane grace
| fully introduced Col. Wright, who spoke on
the Ethics in the labor question
| Col. Wright said he would speak of the
! demands labor is making or will make upon
ethical education. He dealt with the topic
| i'll the Scriptural spirit that whatever was
sOwn that also would be reaped. The age
| he continued. is one of material progress,
| and the strides of civilization demand our
admiration. He compared the old school
and the new schools of political economy,
the former being represented by Mills and
Adam Smith. who have forgotten that
Christianity says: Thou shalt love thy
neighbor as thy self"
By reason of the unsympathetic nature
of political economy, the labor question
is now distinct from it, and the new school
seeks TO better unfavorahle industrial and
social relations everywhere.
Practically its founder was Rev. DR..
Chalmers, who began his work in 1892.
and the creed of the new school numbers
among its believers some of the foremost
thinkers OF Europe. They recognize the
humanity of the world and its moral coRdi-
ton as fundamental elements of political
economy. 1t VIII teach that the growth of
| an operative population is as much for the
pecuniary interest of manufacturers as
for civilization.
The labor question seeks no panacea, but
recognizes the faults of our organization
as of developement and not Inauguration.
He held that ethical wisdom was the remedy
for labor disturbances.
Statistics prove that for the past twenty
or thirty years marriages have decreased
as population increased. that divorces
have increased and illegitimate births
also. Both society and the labor question
must deal with these issues. Then the labor
question from either the ethical or
economic side, involves the temperance
question, which must be solved by the
employers of labor.
The new school will demand that every
one who in his private or publiccapacity can
do anything to relieve misery, TO combat
evil, to assert right, TO redress wrong shall
do it with his whole heart and soul The
political economy of the coming generation
OF writers will insist upon proper contracts
respecting labor. AS an instance of the
recognition of the rights of labor, Col.
Wright referred to the effects of arbitra
ton between the management and the
employees of the Southern Railway.
The Christian spirit which pervaded
Mr.. Wright's view of the labor question is
illustrated by his closing words, as follows:
IL have not been ambitious to promulgate
these principles or theories with an idea of
curing existing difficulties, or prevent the
recurrence of past evils, but simply to
make a new application to the wants of the
future industrial principles which have alone
been successful under like circumstances
in the past"
