SOME of the opponents of the Storrs' ae- ricultural school are frank enough to gay that thelr opposition is based an it's loca- tion-that it must, if maintained, be re- moved to the west side of the Connecticut river. Indeed over two-dfths of the States territory and over two-ssvenths of it's population are on the east side of tho Connecticut. And of the s:ate's institu
 tions there are located in the east part of- the state only this, the youngest and most insignificant point of oOst-of them all; and this is planted here solely because 8
 valuable farm and buildings were given as a condition. And now it is proposed to spurn the gift and buy lands in the west end of the state which already contains the state prison, the capitol, with all it's at- tsndant gloriss, the normal school, lnsane, deaf and dumb, imbeciie, and and other retreats, the industrial school for girls and the reform school for boys, agricultural experimental station, Shefisld school, etc. Who are these men who propose to boycott the east end of the state Let us be particular to note their namss--for embalming purposes. ..... .....

A In Rome.

For The Enquirer, .. r
In the civilization of Rome at the period of
her greatest commercial prosperity, the func-
ton which to-day in our cities is performed
by the stock exchange, the board of trade,
and other similar institutions, was there per-
formed by the basiiicas. 1t was in these
buildings that the Roman brokers swarmed,
and the kings of trade, the Roman capitalists
and the spectators of all nationalities, met
here for the working up of ''corners" and
other schemes for the possession of the
wealth produced by the industrious all over
the world. Little did those proud financiers
suppose that among the disinherited poor
herded together in the slums across the Iiber,
a quarter of the imperial city where none of
the rich and respectable society of Rome
dared venture, there was slowly ripening the
new society which, in its own time, woul
overthrow their whole system Of financial
gambling and speculation and make their
basilicas the churches Of the despised Chris
tians% 4!tgfgd t'77
And yet, this transformation came to pass; !;
and it is not impossible that the disinherited
of to-day for whose protests and whose suf-
ferings the exchanges of our modern COM
merce haYe as ignorant contempt as ever
the speculator Of the basilica had for the
poor Of Rome, Shall in their turn repeat the
process Of transformation. 7Sf'.,.' 5'' '''.' ,
II they do, the institutions which shall re-
place the exchanges must be as great moral
improvement upon the methods there pre-
vailing, as the fraternity of the early church
was upon the speculation of the basilica.

Eight Hours for Miners.

Editor Labor Enquirer.
MARSHALL, Colo, April 13.-The eight
hour system which is being 30 much
agitated among the laboring people of
the country and the miners especially is
looked for with no inconsiderable inter-
est. The working men Of this place are
unanimously in its favor. Intelligent
people know perhaps better than the
writer can explain that there are many
advantages ultimately to be gained by
its universal adoption. It will be OF
decided advantage to the practical
miners who are able to perform a fair
days work in eight hours while those
inexpe rienced men now crowding our
mines will fad that strength does not
constitute practical mining but that in
telligence and years of experience are
absolutely necessary in this vocation as
well as others. g,
A secretary of certain coal producing
company showed me the minimum aver
age and maximum wages of his COM
pany's miners. After the incidental
expenses for powder squibs, oils and
smithing, etc., we're deducted it was
shown that the average pay per miner
per day was about $3.50. He inadvert-
entity omitted to state the number OF
hours that constituted days work at
this mine last winter. 1t is an incontro-
vertible fact that the miners employed
at the mine in question were going to
work at all hours of the night to prepare
coal for each succeeding day. Some
we're working twelve and eighteen hours
without lntermission and those long
hours were called a days work. If the
hours employed were taken in consider
alton to earn $3.50 on q basis of eight
hours per day it would be found that
the average pay for each miner per day
did not really exceed $2.25 Such boasted
pretenslon as referred to by the schedule
| in question is only intended to lead pub
lie sentiment against the miners. To
us who are familiar with mining matters
such statement is insulting to our intel
ligence. One would naturally think BY
such glowing figures that the miners are
the most dissatisfied, people on earth /;
they really receive less compensation
for the labor they perform than any
other class of working men. @''@ n77h'
3, Last Wednesday thirteen of our num-
Der we're discharged The only pretense
for such reprehensible act at this time
Of the wear was that trade was Stacking
off, and less men would be necessary for
the summer, nevertheless all were will
ing to divide the loaf as it was rather
500 n for any to venture to leave their
Information as yet. All the, ,courtiers
we're retained The halcyon days OF the
miners will come again, and If these
maneuvres will not be retaliated with
interest We are willing to be classed
with the false prophet jI Z. .@7 -h9 L.
