wAsHISGroN LETTER.
From Our Regular Correspondent.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2S, 1896.
Senator Allen of Nebraska, did
a very unusual thing when he
presented the ultimatum of the
populist senators to the republi-
cans on the tariff bill. He said
that if the republicans would
agree to vote for an Amendments
to the bill providing for the free
coinage Of silver the populist
senators would furnish the votes
needed to put the amended bill
through the senate. Of course
Senator Allen knew that his pro-
posal would not be accepted, and
he probably made it only for the
purpose of taunting the republi-
cans who were already in a bad
humor because of the refusal of
free silver republicans to support
the tariff bill.
Senator Carter's explanation of
why he and four other silver re-
publicans refused to vote for the
house tariff bill was far more
satisfactory to the populist, and
silver senators on both sides of
the chamber, than it was to the
other senators. He was especial
Ily bitter in what he said of Presi.
dent Cleveland and what he called
his republican supporters in the
senate.

THE THREE GREATEST ACTRESSES.
Bernhardt, Modjeska and Duse Said to
Have No Living Rivals.

There are perhaps only three living
actresses now in active life to whom the
title great would be applied by COM
mon consent. These are Sarah Bernhardt,
Helena Modjeska and Eleonora Duse.
Janausohek, alas although still upon
the stage, belongs to the past, while Ell
len Terry, with all her dainty skill and
radiant charm, has not yet reached those
heights to which genius alone can as
pire. Each of them excels in ways pc
cuiar to herself.
Bernhardt, after carrying off all the
lau-els offered in the artificial and de-
clamatory school of French tragedy, has
devoted her maturest powers to the IL
lustration Of the most violent passions
conceivable by morbid imagination. Her
achievements in this direction have been
extraordinary, and her dramatic genius
cannot be disputed, but some Of her lat
est triumphs have been won in defiance
OF most Of the laws Of nature and many
of the rules Of true art.
Modjeska, if less potent in the inter
pretation of the fiercest emotions than
her French rival, need fear no compari-
son with her in poetic tragedy, while in
the field of poetic comedy she is un-
rivaled. Her performances of Juliet,
Rosalind and Ophelia are almost ideal
| ly beautiful.
Eleonora Duse, whose fame has blazed
up with meteoric suddenness, is pre-
eminent above all actresses of her time
for versatility, that rare gift of imper-
sonation, still rarer among women than
among men, which can conceal the real
beneath the assumed identity without
resorting to the common expedients of
theatrical disguise. The phrase that such
or such a part was assumed by this OF
that actor is heard every day. 1t is a
convenient, conventional and meaning
less expression. In the case Of Duse it is
used correctly and signifies just what
has happened. Eleonora Duse," by

Redfeld Journal: Many Of our
state exchanges are i'll error as to
the identity of Bettina Ordway-
Girard, the actress, who was a
member of the fast set in Wash
ington social life years ago and
was we'll known for her erratic
pranks. She is not the daughter
of Our former territorial governor,
N. G. Ordway. Sheis the daugl1t-
er of Gen. Ordway of the u. S.
army and II not related to our
former citizen. Our Ordway has
much to answer for but it is un-
fair to associate the beautiful
wayward girl with his name and
family. BY the way: Bettina
made herself famous by rendering
her dainty wee slipper filled with
champagne at swell private
dinner party to young diplomat
of a European legation, who gal
lantly drained the novel impro-
vised bowl. In the language OF
the street, Bette is bird!

"He laughs best who laughs
last" is ancient, but it is none
the less applicable to the present
situation in the senate. The re-
publicans have been doing con-
siderable laughing at the demo-
Gratis because of the financial
differences between the Cleveland
wing and the silver wing of the
party, but the democrats had
their laugh when the open split
between the gold republicans and
the silver republicans took place
on the floor of the senate this
week, showing that it was but
anotherinstance of "the pot call
ing the kettle black" for either of
the old parties to laugh at the
other on account of financial
differences. However, it was
nuts for some of the democrats to
hear Senator Morrill,, apparently
following the advice lately given
by Secretary Carlicle, by trying
to read the silver men out of the
republican party, and Senator
Teller replying, that although
the silver men could get along
without the party better than the
party could get along without
them they did not intend them to
allow themselves to be read out
because they declined to change
their financial views to accord
with those held by the Cleveland
democracy and the Morrill, repub-
licanism of the country. He said
the silver men would stay in the
republican party until they got
ready to get out.

victory this week when the house

Organized labor isn't a party

Organized labor isn't a party
to the elimination of the con-
spiracy. Ninety per cent of it's
mem bership stood by the prin-
ciples of their organizations
and voted against the gold
standard. Had all labor been
organized the election returns
would have told different
tale.

Work To Do.

The Labor World heretofore
has called attention to the i'm
portance of extending the work
of organization to unclassifed
workingmen. Whatever the
future may have in store,
whether it be good times or
bad, such organizations are es-
pecially important at this time.
The stability of our unions de-
pend upon union education.
Real good times are not the
best for organization work be-
cause the benefits and necess-
ity of unions are less apparent.
When bad times come the
greatest danger to unionism
comes from the pressure of the
unemployed, and the inability
of the unions to furnish work
for all their members prevents
many from fully approaching
their benefits. Union men have
learned the lesson that it is
more profitable to work two
days a week for So per day than
four days per week at 81. Unor-
ganized men can see the benefits
but they do not appreciate the
method or the means by which
the result is reached.
It is the province and duty of
unionism to teach this truth
and to so utilize it through the
shorter work day agitation that
the unemployed may be by a
division of the opportunities of
labor enlisted with us in the
contest for fair conditions, liv-
ing wages and equality of op-
portunity.
Now that the campaign is
over, and political excitement
is abating the time is ripe for
such work. The eight hour
day will never come from 1egis-
lation. at least not while the
Minnesota Iron company's dol
lars have an equal vote with
free born American citizens,
and we might just as we'll put

a more thorough baptism of the
whole labor movement with the
spirit OF patriotism and human
brotherhood.
Political economy and human
brotherhood-in their truest
sense, one scientific and the other
religious-are two kindred ideas
as inseparable as mans soul and
body.
That religion, that ignores
economic justice, is as powerless
for the accomplishment of results
as the phantom, that, unseen to
mortal eyes, haunts the charnel
house; and, that economic sys-
TEN, which ignores human
brotherhood, as putrid as the
unburied corpse from which the
spirit long since has taken it's
flight.
Our organizations are not
places for partisan discussions;
ofthat all are agreed. But we SUBJ
nit that the science of political
economyis notpartisan, morris the
doctrine of mutual interdepend-
ence and human brotherhood
sectarian. The world without
either of them cannot get
along. And as the churches
have forgotten human brother
hood, and statecraft ignores
political economy, organized
labor must take them up
and not only teach them but
bring about their practical real
ization, else monopoly and ami
malism ruin both mans physical
and spiritual estate.

The Duty of Organized Labor.
Free coinage of silver had the
almost unanimous support ofor-
gained labor, because the men,
bers of the unions had discover
ed that wages depended upon
the demand for labor, and that
the volume of money, for use in
business transactions, was the
most important element in that
demand.
The defeat of free silver, at the
polls has been due, more than to
anything else, to the ignorance,
INSTRUMENTATION and subserviency
of the unorganized workingmen.
Coercion was practically power
less as against those men who
were members of unions that
control their own trade condi-
tons, or, who, through union
education, were sufficiently
grounded in the faith they
protested, to know that the dire
full results by the goldites assert
ed as certain to follow free coin
age, were not only illogical and
unnatural, but impossible. But
the men, not so backed up, were
not only led, in order to retain
their situations, to vote for a
policy which is destructive of
their own interests, but in innum-
cradle instances, on account OF
faulty economic and industrial
knowledge, they were mislead as
to facts, principles and issues,
until they become mere pawns
and puppets of employers, who,
through self-interest or economic
ignorance, were the plant tools
of plutocracy.
The results of the election en-
phasize the necessity of a broad
er policy on the part of labor or

CRUSHED IN THE ENGINE.
Assistant Engineer Zimmerman
Killed on the Steamer
Zealandia.
While Fixing the Journal He Was
Caught Between the Airpump
and Eccentric.

The steamer Zealandia, which arrived
from Panama and way ports yesterday
evening, had several misfortanes aboard
during the round trip. After being tied
up for long time at Martinez she was
chartered by the Pacific Mail Steamship
Company and made fair start on her
initial voyage.
Among the passengers was a Mrs.
Nicholson, who was on her way to Guate-
mala to join her husband, who was super
intendent of one of the coffee plantations.
She was well known in society circles in
the Mission, and great number of people
were down to see her off. On the voyage
she was taken sick, and when landed at
San Jose de Guatemala fears were enter
tanned for her recovery. On the return
trip it was learned that she had died at
Retahalehu, after joining her husband,
and mad been buried. The news came on
the top of a sad accident that had hap
pened at Panama and helped to deepen
the gloom that pervaded the ship.
On January % last the Zealandia sailed
from Panama en- route for San Francisco.
First Assistant Engineer Dave thinner
man was in charge of the engine-room and
a few moments after leaving the dock he
informed the captain that one of the
lOuTublS WAS uOI dlo tIidI ne WOuIu nave
TO stop the engine. He was instructed to
keep on for few minutes longer ana then
he could stop. When the harbor was
cleared Zimmerman was told that all was
clear and that he could take his own time
about getting the machinery into working
order. He began work at once and as he
was fixing the journal his head got be-
tween the airpump and the eccentric.
There was crunch of human bones aud all
was over. The steamer at once put back to
Panama and the engineer was buried there.
Dave Zimmerman was well known in San
Francisco. He was 38 years old and was
formerly chief assistant on the Acapulco.
About four months ago he was married to
one of the bellies of the Mission and she
was down at the Zealandia to meet him
last night. When the sad news was given
her she was heartbroken and had to be car
ried to hack and taken home.
The passage outside of these sad incidents
was an uneventful one and the steamer
made good time. Off Point Conception she
passed the San Juan, so that vessel can be
expected early this morning. The cabin
passengers were as follows:
Mr. and Mrs. D. L. Whitney, Rev. and Mrs A.
Joyce, Mrs. A. T. Melliss, Miss r. Foyle, Edwin
Ajearns, Mr.. and Mrs. K. L. Lopez and child

The New Amalgamation Went Into
Effect Last Night.
The books and cards of the new local
branch OF the Amalgamated Woodworkers
of America arrived in this City recently
from the headquarters in Chicago and
were used last evening for the first time in
the union. This union was formerly the
farniture-w workers organization, but the
recent amalgamation of the furniture and
woodworkers in the Eastern convention
threw the local union into the interna-
tional body. Hereafter it will take in
benchworkers, machine woodworkers,
boxmakers, cabinet-makers and all such
laborers who are unable to affiliate with
the carpenters and joiners unions.
The. international amalgamation pro-
vldes enefits for disability not to exceed
$3.50, mortality fund for the proper in
terment of deceased memb bers not to ex-
ceed $75 and a fund for the insurance of
mechanics tools, policies upon which $ll5
is the limit. The meeting last evening
was devoted to the explanation of the
new system and general reorganization
oi the union. The new system promises
to work satisfactorily.

which will be held at 1859 Mission street

here from Yokohama, and is at the Palace.
She says Japan has decided to build SIX
or seven new warships, and to rush the
work as fast as possible on her fortifca
tions. She is in fear OF Russia.
Mrs. Ishida was at dinner attended by
Marquis Ito, General Idomolito and other
famous men just before leaving for San
Franciscos Their great plans of check
mating Russia she sets forth fully.
Mrs. Ishida was formerly Miss Tous-
saint of Chicago. She was married to the
distinguished japanese about two years
ago, and has most of the time since then
been living in Japan.
Marriages of American girls thus are
rare. 1t has been said that in all Japan
there could not be found over half dozen
European and American girls who had
married Japanese.
Mrs. Ishida, however, thinks there are
rather more than that. She says she has
been very happy in Japan. Her husband
is engaged in important business enter
prises since his retirement as Commls-
sioner at the Worlds Fair. His brother
is member of the Japanese Parliament.
Mrs. Ishida says things are in rather a
serious state politically in Japan, though
in business way the country, since the
warts more prosperous probably than it has
ever been. A year ago wages were 45 cents
and so cents day. Now they are so cents
to 81. Articles of merchandise also have
gone up so per cent.
What concerns the people, though, is
the possibility of more war when they are
not ready for it.
"There is great fear at the present time
OF Russia, said the lady. Nobody knows
what that country intends, but its attitude
is regarded as anything but friendly.
What Russia wants is to get down to
Korea.
''When it will strike remains to be seen.
II Japan can keep it off, however. she
won't have any war for seven or eight
years more. Then she will be in good deal
better shape. Another generation will
have come on which can take the field.
"Of course Japan is very thlckly popu-
lated, but she would be in better condition
then than now. Meantime, Japan is go
ing to have lot more warships and forti-
fications built. They are building fortif-
cations now as fast as they can, and it is
wonderful the progress they are making.
Il was at dinner, in company with my
husband, at Toxic just before came away.
AT that dinner were gathered some of the
most famous men of Japan. There was
among them the Marquis Ito, formerly
Count Ito, who was so conspicuous in the
recent war.
Besides him there was General Idomo-
Ito, who commanded all the fleets at the
time of the war. and three other noted
generals. There was also present an old
Damio, a favorite of the Emperor. They
were all much concerned about the present
condition OF Japan and the attitude of
Russia.
General Idomolito told me they looked
