THE EIGHT HOUR LAW.
Inc n0or having been awarded TO Mr.. MORRILL,,
rep OF w. he moved to take up the bin relative "
the hours OF labor for the government workmen.
Mr. Carpenters resolution was then laid over,
and
On motion OF Mr.. MORRILL, the Senate took up the
Joint resolution 10 regulate the hours OF labor ior
The Dill provides that the Joint resolution reduc-
ing the hours OF labor OF government laDorers, ap-
proved June 20. 1868, shall not create reduction Of
Mr.. MORRILL, moved an amendment repeating the
former act which declared eight hours TO De DAYS
labor.
Mr.. MORRILL, considered the provisions and effects
OF the Eight Hour law IN long speech, contending
that the law passed at last session OF Congress
merely prescribed the number OF hours which should
constitute days work without repeating the exist
ing laws on the subject OF compensation. The
construction OF this law, but the other departments
override that opinion and execute the law as they
like. IL Is clear that the Eight Hour law offensive
10 all workingmcn not IN the employment OF the
government, ana that 1t IS without profit to the men
employed and WIN lead to the abandonment OF the
industrial establishments hitherto maintained at the
national cost.
Mr.. WILSON, (rep.l Of Mass, said that the con-
struction put upon the act OF 1885, fixing the hours
OF labor by the departments OF the government put

managers during the past year, as rollows:-At the
Central Asylum, near Dayton, Ohio, 1887; at the
Eastern Branch, near Augusta. Me-, 635: at the
Northwestern Branch, near Milwaukee, Wis.,, 425;
at the Pennsylvania Branch, near Philadelphia, 4l9;
at the New York Branch, near Rochester, ITO; at
the New Jersey Soldiers Home, 1913; at other local
asylums, 1922 by outdoor relief given to those too
sick to be taken to the asylums and having families,
1850. Many interesting details were reported. OF
the whole number cared for 112 died during the
year-nearly One-halr Of consumption-and b5l

New York; Pennsylvania has 377, Massachu-
sets 146 and about the proporlionate numbers
from all the other Northern states. The regular
asylums are now completed, ana all men
at the temporary homes will be at once transferred.
The Board adopted unanimously a resolution Of
thanks to the trustees OF the Philadelphia Soldiers
Home for valuable aid given In caring for 1000
men temporarily while the buildings OF the National
Asylum were being constructed. Much other bust
ness was done. The Board Will probably be In ses-
sion for several days.

hours as well as in the daytime.

Dea,b TO Hnlt-bred Males

Many man is tempted by the beauty
and promise of a half-bred bull calf to
keep him for the perpetuation of his
good qualities. This would be very
well if only there were any hope of his
but there is not. The result of using
such an animal as a sire is generally
most unsatisfactory. The cloven foot
of q mongrel ancestry will constantly
show itself in the most provoking man
ner, and there is really no safety, if We
wish to improve our stock, except in
destroying 1T least the virility of every
bull calf that has not clean recorded
pedigree. We sometimes hear it
said of an animal that "he carries
his pedigree in his horns and in
his hide" There can be no
greater nonsense than this. The only
pedigree of an animal that is worth
anythiHg is a positive knowledge that
for many generations Bo strain of i'm.
pure blood has been allowed to creep
into his veins. This given, then seek
for the most perfect development of
every valuable quality. but without
this, the highest type of outward ap-
pearance may be only q snare and de-
lusion. As case in point, we know a
grade Jersey cow-three quarters Jer-
sey, and one. quarter Ayrshire-that, by
a thoroughbred Jersey bull, had calf
which would have passed muster in a
herd of pure Ayrshires. The strain OF
Ayrshire blood-itself thorough blood
for once asserted itself, and took pos
session of the field, although tie earlier
and the later calves of the same dam
had all the look of the Jersey.-AgricHl-

The Grceubrier Cases.

The famous "Greenbrier cases." as
they are termed, were on yesterday
decided by the Supreme Court of Ap-
peals for this State. We invite partic.
nlar attention to the opinion of the
Court, elsewhere printed, as delivered
by Judge MAXWELL.
The question involved was plain
one. 1t was whether a registrar could
Vaeate an Office by striking the name oi
the offce-holder from his list. AS the
Constitution provides that none but
voters can be elected to Office in thi:
state, some of the registrars have as
snmed that An office e-holder, who was
registered when elected, loses his place
II his name be stricken of. This weuld
place the officers of the State at the
mercy ofthe registrars la these Green

"NIianchlsed because he ran against

IN the English House of Commons
recently, Mr.. LOWE, stated that the
British debt has been reduced, in the
last ten years, about one hundred and
eighty three millions of our dollars in
gold. The New York Times says this is
progressing at a snail's pace" and
claims that we have done better. What
are the facts! Our ascertained debt on
the first of April, 1865, was S2, 800, 900, ,O00
On the first of July, 1869, it was S2,645,-
100000, or S279, 900, 600 more than it was
four years ago. While we have thus
added to the debt, we have collected, in
the meantime, about sixteen hundred
million dollars. In other words, we
have imposed taxes enough on the peo-
pie to have paid two-thirds of the en-
tire Indebtedness; and yet We have a
handsome addition to the debt, instead
of a reduction.
