How They See 1t,

The truo position of the Domocra-
cy is clearly demonstrated in the
following little incident which occur
red at Grafton, West Virginia, last
week, at the Democratic State Con-
vention. Mr.. George ii. Pendloton,
the great embodiment of Democracy,
made a lengthy aud vigorous speech,
setting fourth the principles of the
party, it's objects, 60, aud concluded
in his best style. After leaving the
platform 4 Q WIS aoojs'el by a one
armed man who stepped up to him and
said: "Mr. Pendlton, allow me to corg-
ra tulate you. on the excellence of your
speech. | can we'll appreciate it as
l lost this arm iu the principles you
advocate" at the sa nc time holding
up to view the stump Of his arm.
Ali" said Mr. Pendleton, with a
bland smile. "Yes, sir, +" said the cx-
soldier, 81 lost that arm while fight
ing in the Southern army against
the Abolition Government" Mr..
Pendleton walked off rather confused;
but the soldier reflected his senti-
ments truly.-Bdltimore Anerican.

THE EIGHT.HOUR LAW.

Those in favor of the Eight-hour
Labor system will not be pleased with
the action of the Senate in refusing TO
take up the bill declaring there shall se
no reduction in the pay of Government
workmen. on account of the reduction
the hours of labor from ten to eight.
The argument used IN procuring the
passage of the Eight-hour Law was,
that experience had demonstrated man
was so constituted that eight hours is a
natural days work, and that the ener~
gies exerted in eight hours are equiva-
lent to those OF ten. thus securing the
same amount of labor to the employer
in eight as in ten hours. while il ena-
bles the work man to have the addi-
iional time for rest, recreation or mental
improvement. Upon an apparent re-
cognition of these facts, bill was passed
and approved last July, constituting
eight hours a day 8 labor for all Govern.
men; employees, and similar law was
passed in Californis and other States.
Singularly enough, no provision was
made as To the compensation. and the
War Department recently reduced the
compensation TO laborers one fifth. in
proportion 20 the hours of labor. This
lead u an aPpes1 10 Attorney General
Evarts, who decided that the question
of compensation is left wholly To the
option of the employer. The bill now
before Congress would settle this ques>
ton IN favor of the workman, but the
Senate. by significant vote of IS to
%. declines to take up the bill. This
ray have heen on account of more
pressing business, but if it turns out
that the Government and States design
TO reduce the wages in proportion to the
working time. there will be speedy
demand for the repeal of the law
wherever il has been passed, by the
workingmen of the country. They find
it difficult enough to provide susten-
ance for wife and little ones at full
wages. and cannot regard the law else
than the trickster's cunning. Ia the
gradual reduction from sixteen hours
labor by statutory regulations. this ad-
.yantage has never before been taken
