THE EIGHT-HOUR LAW
DeGed by Navy Department ORicl

Defied by Navy Department Officials.
The employees of the various navy-yards
of the country will on the Twenty of
March resume working ten hours each
day. Secretary Chandler has not yet de-
cided the question of enforcing literally the
provisions of the law making eight hours
legal day swork forall workmen in the navy
yards. When Mr. Chandler took the Navy
portfolio almost every one believed he
would give the employees under him that
which they are Justly entitled TO. The
bill making eight hours legal days
work was passed in 1868 aud
duly approved by President Grant.
That law was Immediately carried into
effect only, however, to be ignored by one of
Hayes Cabinet ofiicers-Secretary Thomp
son. Secretaries Gotf, Hunt and Chandler
followed in the footsteps Of Thompson, each
openly defying law that is as much
law as any on the statute books of the
United States. The mechanics and labor
ing men of all the other Departments of
the Government work eight hours day.
and just why the employees of the navy
yards are Disseminated against is not alto
gether understood.
The Evening critic., 1883-02-28
The uny scale Question.

The proposed bill providing that all of
the public weighers in the District be paid
a stated salary is received with much ap-
probation by the farmers in the vicinity of
West Washington. At present the scales
are owned by the Government and the
weighers are hired, but have to depend
upon commissions for weighing. Many of
the farmers contend that they are not
treated fairly by the weighcrs; that some
are given better weights than others, and
that different prices are charged,
and often they are compelled to
have their loads weighed and
pay a commission when there is no
necessity for it, For instance, feed dealer
in the city may have gone to farm in
the suburbs of the city and bought far
mer's hay in bulk, with the understanding
that the farmer deliver the hay at his
store in the city at such times as he should
desire, and when the farmer attempts to
enter the city with his load he is forcbly
detained by the weigher and made to pay
tribute. Cases of this kind have been nu.
merous in the past. Often dealer will not
accept the decision of the public weigher,
and refuses to purchase by any other than
his own scale. This is the case with the
Washington & Georgetown and Metropoli-
tan Street-Car Companies, and the
farmers contend that in such cases they
should not be compelled to have their
hay and other produce previously weighed.
A notable instance of this kind happened
few days ago. Mr.. Thomas r. johnson
was hauling load of hay to the city for
the Metropolitan Street-Car Company. At
Brightwood he was ordered to stop and have
his load weighed; he refused and the pub
lie weigher telegraphed to the city and Mr..
johnson was placed under arrest by ah of
ficer of the Third Precinct, but Judge Smell
promptly dismissed him when the case was
called in the Police Court. 1t is thought
that by having public weigher at regu-
lar salary many similar annoyances will be
avoided

The Right Man Found 1t.

Mr.. Joseph NJ. Davy, clerk in the
Pension Office, was attracted by some paper
on the floor of a street-car this morning,
and STOPPING down picked up long,
brown envelope bearing the inscriptions
printed ON all salary envelopes Of the
Patent Office. The envelope also dis
played the name of Miss r. L. Kirk
wood, and contained the sum of $40, in new
return the money at once, and without
even waiting until the close of Office hours
for fear of keeping tho lady in unnecessary
anxiety, obtained leave from his Office and
proceeded at once to the Patent Office
where he sought out Miss Kirkwood and
returned the money.

THE POLARISCOPE.

How IL Excited Tom Ochiltree's
Constituents, and How Tom Ex-
planned II.
Polarscopc, which is used in testing GER
tain brands of sugar, has caused many
man during the debates on the tariff ques-
ton in Congress to haul down his dction-
ary and ascertain the exact meaning of the
word. Previous to the tariff discussion
there were probably not dozen men in
either House of Congress who knew the
meaning of polariscope. In this connection
good story is told at the expense of
That Versatile Genius.
Hon. Tom Ochiltree, for evadng the truth.
Last summer when Tom was making his
canvass for Congress, on the Independent
ticket, he sashed the politicians right and
left. He often declared that if elected
he would not permit the wicked politicians
of either party to handicap him. He stood,
he said, upon the broadest possible plat
form-tbe platform of the people. His OBJ
ject in asking for the votes of his dear con-
stituents, was to serve them and look after
their interests. Tom made thorough
tour Of his district, which is truly cosmo-
politan,' speaking to all classes and trades.
He Promised the wOOl-GrOwer
that If elected the tariff on wool should not
be disturbed. He declared that he would
ule IN MS seat rather tnan permit any
interest of his dear farmer friends to be
touched by the tariff thinkers. One day
Tom dropped down upon a colony of sugar
planters in the southern part of his district.
A meeting was arranged for the afternoon
of his arrival, at which Tom was invited to
make an address. Tom needed no intro
duction to his audience. They all knew
him, and when the meeting was called to
order
The Warm. Haired Statesman
mounted the rostrum and began to pour
forth eloquence in sparks as big as the two
fists Of the Maori The orator vehemently
declared that if elected to Congress he
would always be found advancing the in
terests of the sugar planters. His speech
lasted fully one hour and in his peroration
he said "And, one more word, fellow citi-
zens. You need man to rep
resent you who will thwart the
wicked politicians in their attempt to dis
turb the industry of sugar planting. Why,
l have just received information from
Washington that those fellows in Congress
are even now
Trying TO Run POlariscope' in. on
You PIanters.'"
"What the hi is polariscope ?" yelled q
man in the audience.
This question almost paralyzed Tom,
who, as is well known, is quick and al
ways ready when banded to answer Tom
| scratched his red head, and after studying
| for about five minutes, shouted out:
an be damned if know what it means,
either, but know it BODIES no good to sugar
planters"
The Evening critic., 1883-02-28

The Senate devoted four hours yesterday at-
ternoon to the consideration of executive
business. The proposed commercial treaty
with Mexico was first taken up, and without
discussion, motion to postpone Its further
consideration till next December was carried.
The treaty with Mexico providing for a re-
trial OF the Well and La Abra claims was
similarly disposed of, after which the Sen
ate took up the long list of nominations which
had been reported from committees.
Several OF those met with some opposi tlon,
but not OF such a character as to defeat their
confirmation. When the nomination OF Mr..
Foster, TO be Minister to Spain, was reached,
Mr.. Voorhees, made u speech In opposition to
its confirmation, or rather in explanation OF
his opposition, and Mr.. Harrison, In reply,
justified Mr.. Fosters selection. No other
Senators took part IN the discussion, however,
and the nomination was confirmed without
division. Among those who were confirmed
are Robert G. Dyenforth, of Illinois, to be AS
sistant Commissioner OF Patents and Postmas-
ter Wilbur i. Richards, Clarksburg. W. Va.
Another patient st the Staunton Insane
Asylum died yesterday.

minnehaha lodge OF Good Temp,ars.

The meetings of this active and pro-
gressive association are uniformly of the
most interesting character, and the meet
ing held on last evening at Timms Hall
was no exception. The members of the
lodge are thoroughly in earnest in the
work of temperance, and hence large addi-
tions are made to the membership at every
meeting, and the meetings are such that no
one who has ever enjoyed them will re-
main away if it Is possible to attend, there
fore it is not to be wondered at that the
large and commodious hall is rapidly grow
ing two small. On last evening several
new members were admitted, and long
list of applicants for membership
was submitted and appropriately
referred. After the close of the
business session Mrs. Clarvoe and Miss
Lamb entertained the lodge with fine
vocal duet. Mr.. Sumner delivered short
and eloquent address. A solo and chorus by
Misses Sadie Jennings, Annie Reed, and
Messrs. ], A. Dickinson and G. p. Lenney,
was highly enjoyed, as were also remarks
by Mr.. Eric johnson. Mr.. W. Boyd sang
beautiful ballad, which was followed by
Longfellow's Bridge" recited by Mrs. NJ
A. Naylor in her very best style, and a
vocal solo by Mrs. Kalstrom closed the pro-
gramme. The lodge decided to attend the
services at the Western Presbyterian
Church on next Sunday evening, when
Rev. Wynkoop will deliver sermon upon
the subject of temperance, at the invitation
of the Grand Lodge,

The meeting held by this iourishing Or
ganization in its attractive lodge-room at
McCauley's Hall, Capitol Hill, on last even
ing was thoroughly enjoyed by the very
large membership and numerous visitors
present, among whom were the officers of
the Grand Lodge. The business session,
which included critical examination of
the records of several officers of the lodge
and report upon their condition by the
grand officers, was conducted with prompt
ness and dispatch. The reception which
followed would convince even a casual OBJ
server that the social features of the order
must OF necessity be, as it is, a great power
for good. The hearty grasp of the hand, the
encouraging smile and kindly courtesy make
these reunions long to be remembered. The
programme of the evenings entertainment
consisted in remarks by the g. W. chief

dashed forward in line for about a thousand
yards to a point near which the President stood
awaiting them. The President thanked his

handsome Indian pony was presented to the
President for his daughter. Then followed q
