THE EIGHT-HOUR MOVEMENT

There is SAID to be a new kind of
strike in Chicago-that of men who
have been at work eight hours and
want to work ten hours. A short
experience of eight-hour plan has
convinced them that 1t does not help
them to work eight hours unless they
can get the same pay as for ten hours;
and in the present condition of bust
ness this is entirely impracticable.
In a recent issue of Bradstreet's, Ed
ward Atkinson discusses the eight
hour question in convincing man
ner, His premise is that there is so
much work to be done in the country
to maintain the population upon our
present average standard of comfort,
and so many people to do it, and
that with the amount of production
and the number of people employed
the hours of labor is the quotient of a
sum in division, which statutes are
powerless to alter. The quotient at
present is between ten and eleven
hours day as the average working
time of the people. He claims that
the production of the country is con-
sumed by the great mass Of people,
the enormous increase of the past
twenty years being swallowed up in
the advanced standard of comfort,
and shows from an analysis Of the
imports that not two per cent of the
production goes for luxuries pure
and simple. He shows that the cost
of living-except for house rent and
homes has decreased ninety-fve
per cent since 1865, land that the av-
erage rate of wages has increased
about twenty-five per cent, reducing
the currency prices sinte the recon.
struction era to gold basis, while
the interest on capital has as steadily
declined. He argues that if you in
sist on reducing the hours of labor
you do it by reducing the production
and so lowering the general standard
of comfort.

BOGUS BUTTER.

WASHINGTON JUNE 3. The Oleo-
margarine bill has finally passed the
house by vote of III yeas to 101
nays. The negative was larger than
was expected, and tends to confirm
the claims of the opponents of the
bill that the measure grew weaker by
discussion. Mr.. Durham, who led
the opposition to the bill, said that
when the debate began there were not
more than forty votes against it.
The amount of tax imposed in the
bill that has passed is five cents, which
is just one-half of the amount in the
bill as reported favorably from the
committee. The argument which
has been urged with the greatest
force against the measure is that it
IS unconstitutional ahd that the tax
proposed is prohibitory. The reduc-
ton ia the amount of tax imposed in
it as passed is concession to those

PRESIDENT CLEVELAND'S
MARRIAGE.

President Cleveland and Miss
Frances Folsom were united in mar
riage at the White House Wednesday
of this week little after seven
O clock, according to program. This
is the first marriage of a president of
the United States that ever occurred
in the White House, land the auspices
were as happy as could bh wished.
But few invitations had been sent out.
On the asphalt walks near the por-
tico of the White House, Wednesday
afternoon, the assemblage was thor
oughly democratic. Ragged urchins
and slipshod colored girls jostled
natty looking young gentlemen and
ladies in silk attire. About half-past
6 o'clock the wedding guests began
to arrive, their carriage rolling up to
the main door, and, during the next
few minutes there came in quick sue
cession Postmaster-General Villas
and wife, w. s. Bissel, Secretary and
Mrs Endicott, Secretary Bayard,
Secretary and Mrs. Whitney, and
Secretary Manning and his wife.
Removing their wraps in the state
dining room, all the guests proceeded
to the blue room where they were re-
ceived by Miss Rose Cleveland. Just
as the wedding ceremony began, a
presidential salute was fired by bat
terry of artillery near the river, and
the chime bells of the Metropolitan
church pealed forth the Mendelsshon
wedding march. The president wore
white gloves contrary to expectation,
and the gentlemen present didn't get
a chance to kiss the bride, also con-
trary to expectation. The Rev. DR..
Byron Sunderland of the Presbyteri-
an church performed the ceremony
after which the president and his
wife took the train for Deer Park fol
a weeks sojourn. Many were the
presents and valuable, but 1t was moi
considered in good taste to exhibit
them. The bride wore dress ol
ivory satin, simply garnished on the
high corsage with India muslin cross
ed in Grecian folds and carried in ex
quisite falls in simplicity over tn,
petticoat. The orange blossom gar
niture, commencing upon Tie veil il

The friends of Gen. Black, who
insist that, at the time when his name
was placed at the head of the pension
list as that of a "total physical
wreck" he was actually entitled to
be so regarded, omit to consider that
it is the pres rather than the past
incongruity which is the subject of
criticism. However helpless Gen.
Black may once have been, he clear
ly is not helpless now; or if he is, he
is drawing his $4,000 salary as Com
missioner of Pensions under false
pretences. The capability of earn
ing such a salary as that cannot co.
exist with total physical incapacity
No sophlstry can explain away the
incongruity which inheres in the fac
that the same man is at the head Of
the Pension Bureau and at the heaC
of the pension list.

The most suggestive commentary
upon the recent strikes is found in
Bradstreet's where the financial loss
es are summed up. The direct loss
in wages at the principal industrial
centres is found to be $2,802, 200,
the loss to current business is estima-
ted at nearly the same sum, while the
value of new business hindered OF
postponed is placed at some $25, 200,
600. OF course, these losses fall
most heavily upon the laboring class
and equally of course, that is the
class least able of all to bear sucl
vast losses.

1t is said that there are more fish in the
Mlsslssquoi river at Swanton and below
this season than for many wears past:
the good effects of keeping pound nets
and seines out, under Vermont's efficient
fish law. A fish way over the dam at
Swanton and those above would proba-
bly, have the effect of greatly increasing
the supply of good fish in the river for
many miles upward.

Gen. George j. Stannard, Ver-

Washington June l, of pneumonia.
Gen. Stannard was born in Georgia,

earliest to volunteer his services to
the governor when Fort Sumter was
fred upon, and during the entire war
distinguished himself on many

Selling and holding most important
point at the battle of Gettysburgh,
and with his brave and invincible
Vermont troops he perhaps did more

tide in favor OF the Federal forces.
Gen. Stannard leaves a wife and
three daughters, his only son dying
a few wears since. He was wounded
severely several times, and lost his
right arm at Fort Harrison. He
held the office of doorkeeper of the

P. M.Sutton, the determined enemy
of prohibition because it does not pro-
bibit, is now travelling through Michi-
gan and proposes, when his investi-
cation is complete, to compare the
handling of the rum traffic there with
that of Kentucky, a state of about
the same population. Michigan had
prohibitory law for twenty years
before 1875, when a tax law was
passed, which Sutton pronounces
"the worst liquor law in this countrys
but better than free rum" SO far
he has visited Grand Rapids, the
chief manufacturing, and Kalamazoo,
the chief agricultural city, and re-
ports that both are models of order,
and, so far as a superficial inspec-
ton goes, of sobriety, under the tax
law, because their leading citizens
are determined to keep them so, but
that their liquor selling is not done
on the sly. Every man who wants
to can keep a saloon by paying a
$500 tax and giving $4,000 bond
not to sell to minors, to drunkards
nor on holidays, Sundays or election
days. Under this system Grand
Rapids has on an average about $50
saloons to $4,000 people and "the
business is losing ground. The
prohibition law was not enforced in
the city, and during the twenty years
under it, Grand Rapids licensed its
saloons and collected a revenue in
defiance of law. From 1871 to 1875
with $4,000 people there was an av
erage of 240 saloons. Mr.. Sutton
whose observations are not superb
cial, and who visits the saloons an(
the gambling houses of every city hi
inspects, says that in Grand Rapid
the saloons close at 10 o'clock ant
on Sundays, and that the people o
Michigan are outgrowing the drink
ing habit, as he thinks they are al
over the country. Kalamazoo has

John A. Logan, who made master
ly Grafton in which he contrasted the
military prowess of Grant with that
of Alexander, Caesar, and other an
Gent military chieftains, In that the
ancients were for personal aggran-

The Times publishes letter from
a correspondent at st. Louis who
says it is Islander upon the Ameri-
can people to say that 10000, 900 or
even 10, 100000 of them are ready
to back the Irish in the home rule fight
with either their money or their infiu-
ence. The writer asserts, without
fear of contradiction that there are
not 5000 American born citizens of
the United States, who have ever
contributed cent to the home rule
fund" He adds: No home rule SYM
pathy has been shown from our great
est industrial class, the farmers.
When you hear of public men dona-
ting to the Irish cause, remember
that they are either office holders or
office seekers with large Irish consit
uencies to please. The sentiment of
the purely Irish element in our cities
must not be mistaken for the senti-
ment of the American people. Nine
tenths of the leaders in the recent
railway strikes in this country were
Irish. A firm determination exists,
if these labor agitations carried on by
foreign born men continue, to form a
party of native born Americans sonly
to see that none but natives of this
land obtain offices of trust or power.
