UNCLE SANS ARCHITECTURE.
A Petition From the Architectural
League to Congress-.

From the New York Herald.
The executive committee of the archi-
tectural League OF New York have Tor
warded memorial to President Cleveland,
the United States Senate and the House of
Representatives calling their attention to
the Mckaig bill relating to the manner OF
procuring plans for government buildings.
A circular duplicate of the Mcka1g bill,
containing the House committees report
recommending the passage of the bill and
a summary of the reasons in favor OF 1t,
accompanied the petition.
This circular states that the bill has re-
ceived the approval of the Secretary of the
Treasury, and has passed the committee
on public buildings and grounds. Owing to
it's introduction at the end Of the last ses-
House was absorbed by the tariff revision,
it was impossible to have day set for its
consideration and passage. 1t has, there
fore, gone over to the present session.
The committee calls attention to the fact
that comparison between the beautiful
architectural creations constructed by prf-
yate individuals and the work executed
under the auspices OF the United States
government evidenced the most lamentable
results, rejecting no honor upon the coun-
try.
The petition further states: 1.-The archf-
tects of the country at large appeal to you
through us to raise the standard of their
art which involves every other art, from
the mere artisans chiSel stroke to the work
of the master architect who designs, the
master painter and the master sculptor
who decorate, the poet who commentaries
and the citizen who honors and defends.
1.-THE Mckaig bill represents the result of
the Joint efforts of the profession and of
those legislators and experts who have
been working to reorganize present
methods and to establish new and better
methods.
I'm their judgment this measure will &C
complish the desired results in wise and
conservative manner. and will meet the
requirements nearly as any bill OF
general character can possibly do.
AN illustration of what can be done
with the proper encouragement and the
proper opportunities, by the artists of this
country, is shown by the magnificent re-
suits attained in the worlds fair, Chicago
and we therefore make a final appeal to
the Senate and to the House of Representa-
tiyes of the United States to pass this bill
speedily and to the President of the United
States to enact it into a law by affixing his
signature to IT..
The memorial is signed with the follow
ing names: George b. Post, president
Chas. r. Lamb, vice president; Warren r.
Briggs, treasurer; f.. Hamilton Bell Geo.
Martin Huss, q. l.. Helms e. II. Blashfeld.

JOHN POPE HODNETT.
He Turns Up in Brooklyn and Wants
to Arbitrate the Strike.
From the New York Sun.

From the New York Sun.
Another hopeful arbitrator turned up
yesterday to take the place of Mr.. Feeney
and his colleagues on the state board. He
had &. heavy dark mustache, and looked as
though he had seen better times lie went
to the strike headquarters first and asked
for Master Workman Connolly. While he
vas waiting to see him he nailed Sun
reporter.
Are You one of the representatives of
the press?'' he asked. "Well, I am John
Pope Hodnett, attorney and counsellor-at-
law, and the president and founder of the
United Labor League of America have
come to arbitrate this difficulty. l settled
the great railroad strike of 1877 in an hour
and a half. President Hayes sent for me
and offered me any place in the govern
great a reward for the imperishable serv-
ices l had rendered to the republic Of
course, L refused. l wanted to carry on
the work of the Labor League. l organ
right in this country, where 1 was born.
We used to have 5000 members here, Com
prising business and professional men, as
we'll as laborers We are opposed to strikes
a rule, and deprecate all violence and
disorder
Il belong to the old Hodnett or Oudinot
family. Napoleons greatest marshal was
an Oudinot. So was the Duke of York, to
W HOu lIilS "HOiS Stdlc was olioihoiiJ
granted. SO was George Washington.
Abraham Lincoln was, too, and that's the
only reason he was nominated for Presi-
dent. He didn't know at the time that
he was a Hodnett but we leaders Of the
republican party knew it, and we knew
1t would elect him. s
rs it the idea Of the league" asked the
reporter, Ito have this strike referred to
some board or to arbitrate it itself?'
"Oh, the league will arbitrate it. will
do it myself. I've settled lots of strikes.
In 1882 L settled the Stone strike in Chi
cago, which involved 500 workmen. Mr..
Stone sent for me and said: Here, you're
the only man who can fix this thing; see
what you can do for me-. l called the men
together, and got them to appoint ccm-
mittee with me as chairman, and the Eext
morning at o'clock they were all back at
work Mr. Stone said he had been losing
5000 a day, which l had saved him, and
he gave me a check for $1,000 Now, l
think this strike can be settled all right.
You know there has been no attempt to
arbitrate it yet.
Mr.. Connolly was very busy, and the re
porter wondered how he would dispose of
this offer without entering into the history
of the Hodnett family. Mr. Connolly is
something of a peach himself In just five
minutes John Pope Hodnett came out.
Its all right" he whispered to the re-
porter. II have Connellys authority to go
and sec President Norton
Mr. Norton is the man who has been de-
claring daily that he has nothing to arbi-
trate and no one to arbitrate with, and
that he doesn't want his old men back
ANYHOW.
