IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION.


The eight hour labor movement, which
has for years been an agitaled question,
is again claiming the attention of the
laboring classes, who have successfully
urged the pr6priety Of its adoption in
several States. If laborers were but
mere machines. it would still be deba-
table Question, whether the old system
of fourteen, twelve, or even the later one
of ten hours a day, does not actually
initiate against the interests of en-
ployers. 1t is fact that large proper

manufacturing cities, where this law
while perhaps n majority are minors.
Any one who has been resident OF such
places will remember with pain the long
professions of illy-clothed, poverty
pinched children, with little wierd faces
and an unnatural knowingness, that,
gathered from garrets, and cellars, and
dark alleys, out into the narrow streets,
ere the day light came, TO be closed up
all through the hours of sunshine and
health in the dusty, dingy mills, and to
steal back again after nightfall to their
frugal suppers and their ragged beds.
Little children no older, 10 stronger, and
made in the same image as the wealthy

This was all wrong, and it has been
remedied by the shortening of a legal

stroying labor is required of the great
mass of our people, it is folly TO talk of
humanity, liberty or godliness. The
American laborcr is the peer of the Pres
ident, he wields the destiny of the nation
at the polls. He needs a healthy and
cultivated intellect in a healthy and cul-
tivated body. These require leisure. ex-
ercise and recreation. The day naturally
divides itself into thirds-one for labor,
one for sleep, and one for mental culture
and physical recreation. The loss of
time will be compensated for by skillful-
ness and untaxed energies. 1t will be
gained for health, happiness and hui
manity. Our people viii grow stronger,
and wiser, and richer, and our country
approach nearer perfection, as we offer
opportunities to those who carry the
burdens and wear the yoke.

from the castle of San Juan de Ulloa,

with which he has swept Off the adj

mirable military ability. Since 1921,
Mexico has passed through the various
degrees of an Empire, Despotism and

A LANDMARKS DESTROYED.

Any one who has visited the Falls of
Niagara and gratifed their adventurous
desires by rushing out upon Table Rock
TO look down into the yswning abyss
below, viii have the satisfaction of reci-
ting something that cannot be done
again. For years it has been crumbling
off by piecemeal, with gaping assures
marking the probable succeeding section
that would yield its picturesque grand
eur to the vulgar law of gravitation, and
still the crowd would come and go TO its
furthermost limits. perilling life to graf
ify an objectionable ambition. The
Town Council of Clifton resolved that
it should be removed and ordered it TO
be blasted, in the month of March. Con
sidering the life that was endangered by
the recklessness or ignorance OF visitors,
this was humane idea, but il is still a
source of regret that one of the impress
sive glories of the Great Cataract lives
but in tradition.

men and the masses of the South has
sprung a ready acquiesence TO this bill,
and the rabid hostility 10 it has come
from the fifth rate country newspapers
of the interior, and their aiders and

Northern Democracy TO show their (post

placed them ia an unpleasant position.
Negro suffrage in the south is an estab-
lished fact. The Southern Democracy
have accepted the situation, and are
endeavoring To control the negro vote,
while Northern Democracy is pledged

HorrIned EsrstIshers.

Shortly after John Morrissey's election
TO Congress, some wag wrote mp char
acteristic speech, purporting to have
been delivered by John in the House.
1t savored strongly of the P. r., and was
an effort worthy of Nasby. No person,
perhaps, enjoyed it more than Morrissey
himself. The best part of the joke, how
ever. is found in the following from the
Pittsburgh Chronicle
The most amusing instance Of inabili-
TO comprehend joke that has occurred
since an English quarterly fiercely and
seriously denied Byron's assertion that
" I've bribed my grandmamma's review,
the British" is furnished by the late
London papers They have somehow
got hold of Mr.. Morrissey's maiden
speech, as imagined by the author ofthe
clever brochure, WiglodBa Junction. This
they take Tor a genuine grafton, and
base thereon forebOdings OF the result OF
Americanizing Parliament. Their sum
mary of the speech is very funny. "MT.
MorTissey has been making a most ex-
traordinary display of himself in the
American Congress. As fast as any
deputy spoke, the pugilist interrupted
with some coarse professional slang
The House got excited and whereupon
this worthy declared that he wouldn't
be handed ever TO any cuss in the
House. and appealed to the Speaker to
prevent him from being crowded to the
ropes in that manner He said he did
not care for any rules of the House, but
he would send up to the Speaker the last
number of Belts Life, with the rules OF
the p. r., which he hoped the clerk
woald read, as also the full score Of the
mill between the Staley bridge Infant
and the Brummagem Chicken. This
was too much even for Congress, and the
drunken blackguard was carried off by
the Sergeantat-Arms."

THEY FALL.

On the rejection of the Injunction bill
in the case Of Mississippi, us. several
military officials, the counsel for the
plaintiff introduced an amended bill
which they presumed would not be re-
jected on the general ground of non.iuris
diction, and that thus the procrastination
of reconstruction would be attained.
This too, has met with rejection on other
grounds, and Sheridan, Ord, Sickles and
other department commanders are now
free to enforce the provisions of the
military bill in the South, and the Da-
moclesian sword so lately suspended
above them, has vanished as the air
drawn dagger of Macbeth. The Demo
cratic press of this Territory has from
the first, combated this military bill,
and lent it's voice to the opposing of its
provisions. They have made it one Of
the issues Of this campaign. whether
Congress has the right to guarantee 10
every State a republican form of govern
ment, and 10 guarantee that govern
ment, if necessary, by the use of the
Federal armies. On this point we have
the direct explicit provision of the Cou-
stitution, which cannot be controverted
or evaded, and in that issue we have tile
strength of right. In addition to this,
we see the people of the South, with a
unanimity of purpose they have not
displayed in any previous reconstruction
ary movement, preparing to accept lis
provisions, and be returned under it 10
their forfeited rights as State govern
ments. We see the disfranchised leaders
of the rebellion, both civic and military.

Templars In AttIca-The Baptist Pes-
tlval.

The semi-annual term Of the Good Tenn
plars of Attica, closed the last day OF July,
when the election Of officers took place for
the ensuing term, and on the evening of Aug.
7ih the installation took plase, OF which as It
was not public will give some OF the details
with the names OF the officers, that all may
read ard know Of what material the rulers Of
our Temple is composed, and which cannot
but help making us prosperous organization
and the means Of accomplishing much good
In tho community.
In the course OF the evening the order Of
business was the installation Of officers, when
our Temple Deputy brother l.. Sutton, chose
brothers T. More and W. Miller, for assistant
Grand Temple officers, then the installation
Immediately commenced.
The officers elect were seated at propsr
places in front Of the W. G. T.. when with
few appropriate remarks the Deputy dismissed

Brother Vim. Gri6ey was then installed as

supporters. Sister +. Strandler was next in.

Mary Hall as assistant Secretary, brother W.

Wise as Treasurer, brother Charley MAliz as
Marshal, who chose sister Matte Lennon as
Deputy Marshal, aud sister GrifFey as Inside
Guard. .rf4 ,rf
After all OF these were installed and to
their places, brother Lester Sutton Installed
himself as Outside Guard, which closed the
installation.
On the evening OF the election, before the
election took place, brother Sutton made
few remarks and desired the Temple to elect
good officers, and it seems shey were deter
mined TO do SO, by eleeting him as Outside
Guard, for II needs good officer there II in
any place, so he now is Temple Deputy and
Outside Guard.
