The Plastcrcrs.

As the plastererS' strike II now en-
trely free of any other issue than that
between labor and capital, il may be
considered calmly and prof, ably.
IL the plasterers monopoize the plas-
terer market how they use that power
is nobody's business. What price they
shall exact for their services is their own
affair solely. Neither law nor principle
in this country can rightfulv dictate TO
them in the management of their affairs
IL they do not choose 10 sell their labor
for less than 500 day, clamor that
they are paster-barons and avaricious
is pure impertinence The rest of the
public must abide their fate also, if the
plasterers should be joined by every
building artisan in the city. 50 as to bring
all building here 10 complete stop
This we say, of course, on the theory
that no law against conspiracy or re-
straint of trade is applicable To he case.
Nevertheless the public may be made
a party TO the struggle with a supreme
and indefeasible right of Interference
The first attempt on the part of the
strikers to prevent other men from work
ing in their places will be an act Of
lawlessness, to be punished IA promptly
and ri -orously as official authority per-
mits. That's the whole of this strike
with which the public have any concern,
as it invariably is the whole in every
other strike.

WAsHISGToS Oct. % The crowds that
have visited the Capitol recently to

brick columns in the Pension Once. out
lined the likenesses Of the two Presidents
by means Of cracks and veins in the imita-
ton marble and seriously objected to their
removal. but the Capitol authorities con-
sidered that their drs wing power az curiosi-
tics was too great. There have been more
visitors to the Capitol during the past
week than Al any time since Congress adj

the removal of the shadow pictures is that
their presence in Statuary Hall was not
