A Universal Consideration.

When the day is dull and busy and the air
is full Of noise
We dream of prospects fair and far away
Some place where all the sweetness and the
blooming never clogs
And the silent hours go drifting day by
day.
But a Voice-'tis much like conscience
speaks in most emphatic tone
And wakens US anew to discontents
1t interrupts the dreaming and bids all our
hopes be flown
With How about the dollars and the
cents?"
Oh, the king sat sadly musIng of the won
drous good he'd do
When he somehow got his royal way at
last
And the jester vowed he'd wear a garb
which all the world would view
With deep respect. The motley far he'd
cast.
And the tradesman said he'd be a man of
fine and studious men,
And the scholar said he'd follow chosen
bents;
But they all were set to plodding through
tho old familiar scene
By "How about the dollars and the
cents?"

A letter is printed today in the news col
umns calling attention to the fact that
there numbers of men in this city who
lost places because they joined the volun-
teer army during the war with Spain, and
who have not since succeeded in finding
employment. 1t Is represented that these
men suffering. together in some cases
with their families, for the necessities of
life. 1t is urged in their behalf that the
public-spirited business men of Washington
give such men employment, and an offer is
held out to furnish employers with the
names and addresses of such needy work.
ers. The representation is made upon ap
parently good authority. and there is no
reason to doubt that the war has left such
heritages of distress in this community,
along with others. The plea in the case is
calculated to open the hearts of the citizens
of the capital, who took a sincere pride, not
only in the regiment which bore the name
and sustained the reputation of the Dis
trict, but in the local volunteers who Joined
other commands. intent only upon serving
the country. These men, it appears, are
not asking charity. They want work. This
is a busy period and work is more plentiful
now than at such a season in former years.
The ranks of these needy ones include both
skilled and unskilled workers. Some of
them are capable of filing positions of
trust and of performing fine. technical la
Dor. All of them. according to the plea
uttered in their behalf, are willing to turn
their hands to anything honest, In the hope
Of providing for their dependents. 1t is to
be believed that all such cases will be
promptly cared for outside OF the mid
winter charity work. The community owes
something to such men, apart from the
grant of aims. There was well-under-
stood covenant in the bargain when they
enlisted for service that they should not
lose their chance to work in time of
peace because they responded to the call
this bargain was faithfully kept by en-
ployers. In others various circumstances
served to prevent the holding of places.
Prolonged sickness on the part of the re-
turned soldier. caused by the hardships of
the service, led to the filing of positions by
permanent substitutes. To turn such men
adrift after months of faithful service
might in many cases be unjust. Yet the

To Stop Sensational FiIibu.terinr
From the Pittsburs Chronicle Telegraph.


Senator William Z. Mason Of Illinois has
been severely and deservedly criticised for
his unpatriotic attitude In the Philippine
matter. and for his efforts to obtain from
Congress an expression of sympathy for
the South African republic, but he is doing
something now which must command APP
proval. He Is endeavoring to obtain
amendments to the rules of the United
states Senate which will permit that body
to do Its work with more expedition than
tho present rules allow. These amend
ments are intended to deprive a small mi
Hority of obstructionists of the power to
block legislation indefinitely. The move
ment is in the interest of government by
the majority, and an effort to secure action
on measures after a reasonable time for
deliberation and discussion.
AS it seems impossible for Senator Ma
son to get on the right side of the Philip
pine and South African questions, he should
let these matters alone and continue his
EFFORTS to reduce the power of senatorial
fiiibusters.
