rving out the rulerof following the current
price of labor, nor would it be thought just
bv the great body of mechanics and labor
ers if the Government employers we're thus
favored. =.
In consequence Of these difficulties in
the enforcement of vague statute, there,
fore. the rule has been adopted. we believe,
of onlylequiring eight hours labor Of gov
3 ,eernment employees, at fixed rate per
hour and when necessity arises for more
work, to pay at the same rates for extra
labor. If we are correct in our information
on this point, we must say that we cannot
see how the law can be better enforced.
If Congress had attempted to fix the
rates of wages, ia every case-as so much
nor dav for one class of mechanics, or Ia
borers-so much for another, and so much
for third, there would still come in the
difficulty, that the same sort OF labor would
he worth more in one place, owing to the
relative expense of living, than in another;
and the catalogue Of rates would be end
less. Neither could Congress regulate
them intelligently and fairly, for want OF
the requisite information. 1t would re-
ouire the peculiar knowledge of experts in
great variety of places and occupations
tn settle such details.

THE EIGHT-HOUR ia w.

Complaints are made against the GovS
ernment for not enforcing the eight-hour
law. But we suspect that the fault Is IN
the law itself; and that the fault IS due
mainly to the difficulty Of legislating on
the subject. The law is contained In the
following few lines Of the Revised Stat
ntes:
Eight hours shall constitute days
work for all laborers, workmen. and MT
chanics who may be employed by or on
behalf of the Government OF the United
States.
It will be seen that the law imposes upon
the several Departments of the Govern
ment the duty and necessity of fixing the
rate of wages.
Where youth has been educated to per-
firm mechanical labor he is admitted, by
the common consent Of the world, to be
entitled to higher pay when he becomes a
man for his labor, than is allowed for the
labor which requires no skill Or knowl'
edge, but merely physical strength. Here
ia the first difficulty. The heads of De
partments are called on to discriminate
not ouly between different kinds of skilled
labor, as we'll as between different kinds
common labor. 1t is easy to conceive tn
difiulty Of satisfying everybody in maxim
these determinations.
Another difficulty arises from the fac
that private employers and employed pa

Congress for Government laborers, To /

ties for ten hours labor would not be Cal

DER CITY PARK.

At recent meeting of the "City Faith
ers" it was announced that the stiles had
been placed at the entrances of the Park
O, Eighth street, and that the grounds
we're open to the public. We either fail
to clearly comprehend the object Of a
park, or the meaning Of being "open to
Ire public" Our impression has always
.peen that city park was for the use, COM
fort, and enjoyment Of families that might
wish to spend their time in recreation
within its borders, and that being formally
ypened was the placing it at the disposal
Of such families, young and old. We gee
we are mistaken, and that our park is to
be used for other purposes. Almost daily
NAV be found companies OF young men,
not bows, within its limits vigorously car
ing on game at ball and bat, and often U.s.
ing language that is not only vulgar but
indecent. As matter Of consequence, no
lady wishes to take her family to such a
place and even if she did venture, II
would be safe to do so only after che had
her life insured.
We regret the Quickstep Ball Club has
no funds to give them prominence witt
other first-class clubs through the country
bnt since it is 80, would it not be well fol
the "City Fathers to give the free use OF
The park to the said club, and they woult
thus aid them, and the public would know
what to expect when they visited tn

It makes no difference, we think,

Boucicault is native Of Ireland, and ac-

THE RECENT ORDER.

All the Republican associations here rep
resenting the different States, propose TO
eyade Mr.. Hayes order, by changing the
character of their political organizations
into that of "sociar' societies, which will
only be whipping the devil around the
stump, their former status being in point
of fact, retained intact. The number OF
clerks from Ohio is at present very large,
and it is expected that an exception in their
favor will be made in order that they may

tiop assist in the vindication of Mr.. Hayes
Policy, as our German Secretary, schurz'

NAVAL ECONOMY.

mined to diminish the expenses OF his de-
partment, and has accordingly decided that

and subject to and held in readiness for sea
service, where the crew has been reduced,
will be put upon the list Of Especial shore

THE MARINES

now on extra duty, assisting the militia OF
the different Northern States in quelling the
riots, will, so soon as General Hancock who
has been telegraphed to this effect, can spare
them, resume their places in the North At

the Administration to relieve the vessels of
war from the embargo which the necessities
of the labor riots have placed upon them.
SITTING BULL.
Our friend Johnnie Bull, in Canada, has
been holding quite diplomatic correspond
ence with the Administration, in relation to
this wayward, unruly wandering youth of
Mrs. Columbia, and is very anxious that we
should take the boy home and provide for his
moral bringing up. Our propositions to
friend johnnie, of Canada, have not met
with favorable considera ions as we have
given very strong hints that we don't want
anv prodigal son 'in our'n," and that we
give our hearty consent to his remaining
lust where be is, he being just little too ex>
trayagant inroaming about the country jay
haw king everything he can get his hands on,
particularly soldiers's scalps and brass but
tons. What the result of the diplomacy IN
regard to sonnie Sitting Bull will be, we will
inform you in our next.
Ex-sPEAKER RANDALL
has visited us within the past few days in
order to put his house In condition previous
to the meeting of Congress, and his visit
had no political significance whatever, as
has been telegraphed over the country. he
had nothing to say in relation to the organs
ization of the next House, observing the old
adage of still tongue making wise head,
or words to that effect. He, however,
thought the Democratic majority Of the
next House would be sufficiently large
enough to prevent Clerk Adams from put
ting on the roll any Democrat who had 70
right there even if Mr.. Adams was so dis
posed, which is certainly not the case. The
democrats will take no unfair advantage OF
their opponents,n nor do anything that would
compel them to assume the defensive. The
war which may occur in the next House
| will be aggressive on the part OF the Dem
ocrats who propose to make ode mule fly,

minated in tizzle.

LABORERs IN NAVY YARDS.

LABOREkS IN NAV i lahbo'
Since the late decision of the United States
Supreme Court in regard to laborers' wages,
the Secretary of the Navy deems 1t unwise
To enfOre the former construction In regard
ITO making contracts with laborers at ten
hours Der day. The old rule will, there's
fore, be put in force the same as 1t was
prior to the passage of the eight~hour law
bv Congress. The bell will be rung for the
laborers to assemble ten minutes before the
hour of labor, instead of twenty minutes, as
heretofore.
CENTENNIAL MUSIC.
Another good example of the Secretary OF
the NAVY. to keep within the limits OF the
| law, and to do nothing without proper au
thoritv, is witnessed in his reply to Senator
Edmunds, of Vt., asking for the service OF
the Marine Band al the Bennington cele,
hration, wherein he says he would give the
| band permission to 90, but could not delraJ
their expenses from Government moneys, al
no funds were appropriated by Congress
for such purpose.
