WE NEED SUCH a LAW.

No measure Congress could act upon would
prove more beneficial. 1t would be preyenta-

effect in preserving harmonious relations be-

worth more to the country than words can
indicate.
Whenever any one element of the public
shows disposition TO prey upon another,

done. Railroad corporations have encroached
upon the rights OF their employees and have
taken advantage of circumstances to cut
wages and otherwise distress them. Under
the common law there is no redress for the
employees. and unless they. resort to organized
strikes they must suffer in silence.

AN EXCELLENT AMENDMENT.

Yesterday the House passed bill increas-
ing the board OF school trustees from nine TO
eleven and authorizing the appointment of
two women to fill the vacancies.
This is a step in the right direction. Wash
ington has many brilliant women whose
services in public positions would do credit
10 our city government. On the school board
they would especially do good work, and
when the Senate confirms the action OF the
House their appointment will be very satis-
factory.
The policy Of giving women positions in
municipal governments is becoming very
popular. This wholesome advance is having
good effect in bringing about needed re-
forms, and through their influence the day
OF the political ward-heeler is rapidly draw
ing TO an end.
Women may not always be practical in bus
mess affairs, because Of their lack of exper-
ience. But they know best how to deal with
public morals. and should be given greater

A REPRESENTATIVE GOVERNMENT.

The bill introduced in the House to hold
special election for the purpose of determin-
ing whether or not the District shall have
representative form of government comes
like the last rays of twilight. Congress is in
its last days and such measure cannot be
considered.
Should the time ever come when this
question is submitted it will be adopted by
the District by an overwhelming majority.
No American citizen likes TO be disfranchised,
nor will he sit idly while rings and Hobbies
control legislative affairs if his vote will
prevent it,
No one will deny that the interests OF the
District have been subverted in Congress-
and that corporations and rings have con-
trolled the committees. The public are tired
of this neglect. At present they have no
remedy, but with representative form of
government they might at least make their
wishes known.

Memphis district Of Tennessee, in the open
ing Of his address before the Interst ate Demo
cratic Association last night. The associa-
ton meeting was held at Costello's Hall, On
G. street northwest.
Mr.. Patterson was introduced by President
Van Mater as n representative of the views OF
President Cleveland, and in referring to the
matter the speaker said there could be no
quarrel with the President, except upon the
currency, and that the assaults now being
made upon him by Democrats was little
singular when 1t is considered that Mr..
Cleveland had always occupied the same po-
sition upon the question that he does now
He had made more than one official declara-
tion against the free and unlimited coinage of
silver and when the Senate was once on the
eve of adopting a silver bill he had the cour-
age to write n letter to a reform club con-
demning the measure.

Written for TIE TINES. ]

Written for THE TINES
Cold and cruel was the waves embrace,
Where tie Elbe's lives went down;
While the fog hung low, DER the signals glow
And the fair ship sank to the sands below,
Where the sea hides we'll her dead
Four hundred lives was the freight she bore
That night the English coast;
And wild was the cry, as doomed to die,
They were swept away by the waves, to lie
Where the sea hides all her dead.
Only one woman, out of them all,
Was saved from that terrible wreck.
God pity the home, where the desolate moan,
Tells of a life to be lived alone,
While the sea holds fast her dead.
For heads bend low. and hearts make moan,
Each side of the ocean wide
And the pain will last, till life be past
When out of the waters deep and vast,
The sea gives up her dead

Attorney General Olney and rendered
TO him the portfolio of the state de-
partment. Mr.. Olney accepted the APP
pointment.
I'm selecting Mr. Olney as the sue.
cessor of Secretary Gresham, the pres
ident has chosen the member of his
cabinet who more than any other has
been familiar with the details of
the foreign policy of the admins
tration. The attorney general is
the one member of the cabinet
who at all times, when any intricate
question of law or of diplomacy has
been involved, has been taken into the
full confidence of the president with
the secretary of state. 1t has been
upon the attorney general, in fact.
that the president has relied for legal
| advice as to all important subjects
connected with the foreign policy of
the administration.
1T is not known that Mr.. Olney has
conferred with the president as to
state department matters. There is the
official statement of the president him
self in the interview with himself which
he gave out to inform the public that
there was no difference between Sec
retary Carlisle and himself on the
silver question, that the cabinet was
not divided on anything. This state
ment was made long after the Hawaiian
policy of the administration had been
| formulated and had failed. 1t is to
be assumed, therefore, that the presi-
dent and the attorney general are as
one on that subject, and that in APP
pointing Mr.. olney as the successor of
the late Judge Gresham no change of
policy is to be expected in state depart
ment matters.
1T is the purpose of the president to
retain Assistant Secretary Uhl in the
position which he now occupies. No
decision has been reached as to the
successor of Mr.. Olney as attorney
general"
