THE petitions for the pardon of
Mason now on fil3 at Washington con-
tain over 10000 names, and the Garfield
Club of New York, have sent over
another bearing 175.000 signatures, but
it appears that MasOn's attorney in ap-
plying for habeas corpus from the Su-
preme Court has prevented the President
from acting upon these petitions until
fall, for it would not be considered re-
spectful to the court for him to take the
case out of its hands,

SHORTER HOURS.

A great cry is now going up for shorter
working hours, and in most cases it should
be obeyed. We are, as people. working
too hard, and the home is broken up and
the health shattered in consequence. How
can man, working as many men do, over
twelve hours day, enjoy the pleasures of
a family. He comes home at night like a
tired horse, simply to sleep. Not only is
this true of workingmen, but it goes
through all classes, and the evil is proba-
bly, the hardest on the men whose business
do not allow them to escape 1.-THE men
who work at night. The American people
have to work too many weary hours. The
business man, the mechanic and the work
ing man must get up too early in the
morning for the health of his wife and
children, if not for himself. For six
months in the year he and his family must
have breakfast long before daylight, and
their supper after night, in order that the
full ten hours may be devoted to business
and work. At noon only time enough to
bolt dinner in hurry is allowed. The ten
hours of hard toll devoted to business or
labor makes him prematurely old We
don't believe that 1t was intended by the
Almighty that man should make unceas
ing toll of brain or body from ter to fifteen
hours per day. It would be better for the
welfare of the American people if their
time was occupied more as follows: eight
hours to labor eight hours to recreation,
and eight hours for sleep.

REBELLION.

Senator Stewart, the nominee of the in
dependent republicans for governor of
Pennsylvania, thus addressed the conven-
ton, on accepting the nomination:
This may be rebellion, but you know the
difference. 1t has this difference that it is
revolution; and what better place than
Philadelphia could have been chosen for
such a revolution? What high principles
is the party now expected to represent and
advocate? Ask the people who assembled
a few weeks ago at Harrisburg The high
questions and principles in which the re-
publican party is interested were met there
only to be Knocked and jeered at by those
who would send the party on mission
not of principle but of spoils. We want
the party disenthralled. The honest con-
victions of the republicans of Pennsylva-
mia have not found expression in any real
convention held in the last decade 1t is
from the control of her taskmaster that
we would deliver her. They tell us that
this movement will imperil the life of the
party. I do net believe it. The
republican party was in peril until you
came to her rescue. Speaking for myself
would say that if that noble party must
die / had rather see her last hours made
glorious by a struggle to redeem her than
to see her expire in the race for spoils. l
repeat that | accept your nomination and
return thanks for the honor

COLLAPSE OF A COLONY.

The collapse of Rugby in Tennessee, as
an English colony is practically admitted
in a communication addressed to the COM
the managers, asking for one or two hun
dred German families as permanent set
tiers, whom they promise to place on fifty
acre farms, the payment for which will be
arranged on very easy terms The man
ayers claim that the climate is most de-
lightful one (nothing is said about the soil,
which is undeniably poor, and that the
failure is due to the fact that the original
colonists were not practical people," and
could not be relied upon for active and
energetic work in opening up the new
lands. . The truth of the mat
ter is that Mr.. Thomas Hughes and his
friends, who inaugurated the enter
prise, We're not the right men for 1t. In
the first place. the locality selected is not
good one in any respect, and the sod, as
we have intimated, is far below the average
of the American article. In the second
place, Hughes s. Co, painted such glowing
pictures of the new Eden in Tennessee that
the majority of their colonists were young
gentlemen who did not want to work or
old gentlemen who neither could nor would
both classes expecting to find food and
clothing growing on trees, so to speak, and
nothing for them to do but 'eat, drink and
be merry" When they realized their mis-
take they made no effort to make the best
of a bad bargain, but quietly sat down
and starved out. The present managers
are eminently sensible in calling for Ger
mans to fill the place of these -nothings,
and if the call is answered Rugby may yet
be redeemed Meanwhile, Mr.. Hughes
might write an instructive book about his
foolish experiment.

TIE cITY,s MORTALITY.

Since the introduction of the system re-
curing the issuance of burial permits by
the City Clerk, that official has written
633 of the documents. Last week the first
book was filed. containing 203 pages, with
three permits to the page, making total
of 627. Six additional permits have been
issued, and recorded in new book, which
makes the total number issued 633. The
first permit issued, of which record is made
in the old book, is dated September %,
1880, just twenty months ago. This makes
the average number issued each month
Bib: A number of those for whom per-
mits to bury were issued, did not die with
in the city limits. some at Mercy hospital,
some dying in the country, and some be-
ing brought to Davenport from abroad for
burial While no actual count was made
of them, 1T is safe to assume that theil
number would reduce the average death
rate in Davenport during the last twenty
months to thirty one, or an average each
week of eight.

fourteen permits They were as follows

THE WEAKEST SPOT.
From the Cincinnati Commercial.

We should like to hear protectionist
justify the doctrine that we must guard
the country from competition with the
pau,er labor of Europe, and at the same
time hold that there should be freedom of
immigration. If capital should be protect
ed, why not labors Is not labor as much
entitled to the fostering care of the author
tiles as capital? If not. why not? In
other words. why should we. tax the inn
portation of goods and not of men? This
question was raised very distinctly and
dangerously for the protectionist in Penn
sylvania last year. There was a strike
growing out of the opinion of the skilled
laborers, that they got an insufficient share
of the profit on the highly protected articles
that they produced. The proprietors sent
to England for workingmen, and brought
over quite colony, who took the work
the strikers had dropped. The competing
goods were excluded the competing men
were not excluded One trades union or
gan in Pennsylvania stuck its finger right
into the sore place, and threatened the
Pennsyl protectionists with political
revolution. The suggestion was found
very disturbing. il not distressing. and the
protectiorists have had it very carefully
pOulticed.
