Labor's Day for Recreation.

Labor day in the District is marked this
year by nc demonstrations on the part OF
the thousands of toilers In whose honor
the day has been set apart by congressional
enactment The various organiza tons have
gene about their holday-making in diff
ferent directions and with varying pro-
grams. but all with the intent of max
ing this a day of recuperation from toll
1t is. of course. more than this. Even
here where no parades or public speeches
teach the lessen of the greatness of labor
in America. the public thought is arrested
to contemplate its power and its dignity
as well as its necessities and its aspira-
items.
TIE chief reason why there is no demon
stration here today reflects credit upon
the local trade organizations. They have
voted to donate for the benefit of the
miners who on the eve of accomplish
ing a peaceful victory in Pennsylvania,
Ohio and other states the money that in
former years has been spent in defraying
the expenses of a parade and other usual
features of this celebration. This action
typefes the central thought of labor unions
of all classes and forms. Mutual aid is
the key note of the platform upon which
the wcrkir gmen band together. Self-pro-
every class for the help of others
So it is highly significant that Labor day
in the District should lose some of its spec
tacular features this year. The strike
among the miners is approaching a conclu-
sion that is satisfactory to the leaders of
the men and TO the operators of the mines
The men have yet to accept the terms OF
the agreement. Todays events and the
sentiments that are uttered in the various
trade canters among the strikers may have
u marked bearing upon the result of this
latest endeavor to secure an agreement
without strife. 1t is the hope of all true
friends of the laboring men that the miners
will cast their votes for acceptance. for per-
haps in this way alone can they secure
their ends without involving the danger
of radical measures by some of the more
bot-headed individuals among the leaders
and the followers peacefully won strike
is : step in advance for labor. A strike that
leads TO ricting and bloodshed is blow to
the effectiveness of the organizations.
Labor day here finds the workmen gen.
orally well content with their condition
and especially with their prospects. The
past year has been one of good feeling be-
tween employers and employed 1t was
dull year in many lines. ard it might read

working and the work hiring classes. yet

dictated by good sense, the best of rela-
lions prevailed. 1t is in keeping with the
course of the times. and the gradually re-
viving spirit of prosperity that the day
should be spent in pleasure making, III

The Afternoon Newspaper.

From Printer and Bo0kmaker
Newspaper men are recognizing the grow.
ing Importance of the evening journal, and
it is not uncommon for those who make up
morning papers, the editors and reporters
to tell how much they can condenSe from
the evening papers for the next day edition
The exchanges a morning paper refers to
or reads are the journals of the preceding
evening.
Take the leading evening papers OF any
prominent American city, read them, and
then consider how much essential news you
have got first from the latter. We say this
because people are apt to be non-critical
and to call their attention to the fact that
the worlds business is done in day time
not at night.
This is so often overlooked that men read
tomorrow what is In the evening paper and
give the latter no credit. In the matter of
reading critically the newspapers one is
reminded of the famous saying of ST. James
in holy writ: He is like unto a man be
holding his natural face in glass For
he baholdeth himself and goeth his way.
and straightway forgetteth what manner
OF man he was" Think of this the next
time YOU compare newspapers of the morn
ing and evening kind.

lister WoodfGrd will soon present his ere
dentials to the Spanish government, and
the Cuban question will again become
acute. What the new minister's instruc-
items on that question are is not known.
but the best conjecture on the subject
seems to have been accepted on both sides
of the water. The newspapers and poll
tcians of Spain are so certain that ad-
vances will b. made looking to an carly
ending of the war in Cuba that they n; We
already suggested to the ministry the
proper reply. The United States should be
firmly and none too politely told to mind
its own business; that Spain will continue
TO deal with her own in her own way.
But whether predictions are verified to
the letter or not. it seems certain that a
rev chapter in the Cuban matter is about
TO open. and such being the case. it is most
advisable that the United States should be
prepared with the fullest information up TO
the latest date as TO the condition OF af-
fairs in that island And General Lee is
the official best prepared to furnish the
State Department with all necessary data
an" details He Is familiar with the sub
ice, aud the situation. and. moreover there

ficn the truly American standpoint 1t is
subject for congratulation indeed. that
at this time the whole of General Lees in
formation is to be available to the State
Department in the full and free scope of
personal interviews.
The first notice of General Lees visit
home was accompanied by the suggestion
that he would probably not return to mis-
pest. This is not confirmed at the State
D. partmsnt. but the belief is expressed that

navy and the acquisition of necessary out
posts in 10th oceans to form the bases of
naval operations in case of war by no
means tend toward an aggressive policy
such as this country has never contem-
plated. They rather operate to create such
respect fo- our powers on the part of other
nations that the chances of an interna-
tional strife are materially reduced. 1t is
significant that these three expressions
drawn from such widely divergent sources
as regards their environments and lines Of
thought. should converge upon the one
certain degree of colonial expansion. One
writer, basing his article on official under
standing acquired by his term as the head
of the naval organization, gives specific
reasons why the present naval force of the
United States is not in proportion to the
commercial and political interests of the
nation. Another. writing as an officer OF
the government but more pointedly as a
patriotic citizen, indicates that the world $
frontier line has shifted and that in view
of present conditions Hawaii is a real
necessity to the United States, and that
with her acquisition greater fighting
power must be provided. The third, taking
the standpoint of an individual member
of the body polite. shows the need for the
acquisition of both Hawaii and Cuba,
coupling these possessions as being equally
needful for the preservation of both Amer
lean peace and trade There is much in
structiVe matter in these three articles.
They sound note of caution that, it is to
De hoped, will soon inspire the national
legislature to wise action.

GLASS ThrOygera.

The vicious practice of throwing glass
in the public streets of the city is diff
cult OF remedy. but the action taken last
week by Judge Mills in the Police Court
in the case of an acknowledged offender
should go iorg way toward discouraging
the bottle throwers. A fine of twenty dol
lars with the alternative Of spending sixty
days in jail was imposed and it was none
too severe. OF all the refuse cast into the
streets glass Is the most dangerous. 1t

The Constantinople correspondent of the
London Standard declares that the sultan
and the car have been in frequent consul
tation of late with the result that they
have reached an agreement as TO future
policies. The sultan, it is related will
hencefcrth permit the car to operate in
central Asia without molestation, and the
car undertakes TO uphold Turkish rights
in Europe. If this be true 1t is of far reach
ing significance. 1t will throw light upon
the present troubles of England on the
Afghan frontier, which have been ascribcd
in some quarters to both the sultan and the
car.

Prosperity ana the Strike.
FROM the Philadelphia Times

The prospects for the profitable employ
ment OF both labor and capital were never
better than now, and the sensible thing for

tration on the best practicable terms DOS
