The affair has caused deep feeling OF In

TIE esteemed Register has had varie'
gated assortment Of spasms over the decla.
ration Of the Republican Conference in
favor Of submitting to the people q pro-
hibitory amendment. We sympathize
with our neighbor in lis evident embar-
rassment. 1t desires to 80 present the
action Of the Conference as to make the
worst possible impression upon those who
favor submission and upon those WHO
don't, at the same time denying itself the
luxury Of any pronounced opinion Of its
own on the merits Of the question. 1t may
be that We can help the Register to clearer
perception Of tho state oi:hs Gaze. And this
we shall endeavor to do by reminding It
that on the 10Th Of August, 1882, the an
cient FREQ and accepted Democrats OF the
Fourth Congressional District, in conven-
ton assembled, put in their platform the
following resolution:
That the question OF the submission OF
a prohibition amendment to the Consti.
tuition Of this State TO the voters thereof,
Is, at this time, q subject Of discussion,
and is exciting the public mind TO q large
degree; aud whilst we do not consider this
asubiect that properly belongs to Con.
gressional canvass, yet the sense Of this
convention Is that It would be eminently
proper that such q question be submitted
to the voters OF the State for final settle
ment.
To show that they were in dead earnest
they placed on this platform that bigoted
prOhibtionist EustaCe Gibson. This after
their party in the Legislature had reject
ed submission two years in succession.
ButS State Prohibition Convention had
recently been held at Ravenswood, and
theresa distinguished Democrat as Judge
Ferguson had advised the scratching Of
all nominees not In favor Of submission.
Perhaps the Fourth District Democratic
Convention Of this year won't declare In
favor Of submission, but surely the Register
will be impressed by what the ardent
Democrats Of that district did four years

Is Going to Work Both Ways.

CHICAGO, August Don Monday next
the packing houses in the stock yards will
put into operation the eight hour system
similar to that offered by Hatlsy Brothers.
The houses which have agreed to this plan
are Fowler 4 Co., Swift 4 Co., Kent 4
sllverhorn, Armour aud the Chicago
Packing and Provision Company have
hitherto held out, demanding that nine
hour day be put in force, The firms
which will put the hour system into effect
are understood to have won over to their
side Mr., Armour and the Chicago Pro.
vision and Packing Company, tits prob
able all the houses in the yards will adopt
It, The superintendent of one Of these
said to-day that he not anticipate any
trouble from the men, aud was induced to
think that most OF them would acceptt the
new scale, although they did not know
that they would, The men say, however,
that II the hour system ls adopted the
employers will in the dull season make
the employees work few hours day,
giyinB theman opportunity to earn barely
living wages,
II the eight hour system Is adopted on
Monday, and there is very little doubt
that 1t will, between 5000 and 1000 men
will be affected. Some OF the employees
arc "monthly men," receiving salaries,
and these, OF course, will bs exempt. The
men are excited over the proposed change

on strike. Superintendent Hatley told
his men that the firm could not compete
with packers In Kansas City and Alllwau-
kee and give ten hours pay for eight hours
work. Prior to the adoption Of the eight
hour system May l, he said, the Chicago
packers were paying their employees 10 to
so percent more than similar employees re-
Ceived In either OF the places named, so
that whentheten hoursyGtem was abolish
ed without q corresponding reduction in
wages tho cost OF labor was run up 25 to
30 percent more than the Milwaukee and
Kansas City packers pay.
In answer 10 this explanation the Hat
ley employees said they were wilIiag to
work at stated price per hour, but 80
many OF the packers were opposed 10 any
change that they were afraid Of their lives
to accept reduction or to return to the
ten hour system. The rates by the hour
which the men declined were: Men re.

Ceiving g rs, 80 cents. The propoJltion
also contemplated general reduction OF

ployes at Fowlers 4 Co., refused 10 accept
nine hours pay for hours, and are out.
They have been receiving ten hours pay
for eight hours work.

The UnionIsts und the Dissenting Liberals
Come to Terms.

Come to Terms.
LONDON, August ga meeting Of Lib.
eral Unionlsts was held In Dayorshire
House, the residence Of Lord Harrington,
to-day. Lord Harrington preslded and
among those present were Mr.. Joseph
Chamberlain, Sir Henry Jamesand Messrs.
Rylands, Caiue, Heneage and Jesse Col
llnSs. Lord Harrington, in a long speech
upon the coming Parliamentary work,
proposed that oil attitude Of hostility to-
wards the ahetents OF the late Government
be abandoned. The Liberal ections should
cooperate in the endeayor To secure the
enactment Of useful legislation, and op-
pose unitedly all proposals looking to the
separation Of the Empire. He sald the
consolidation Of the party was only mat.
ter Of time. [Oheers Towards that end
the Unionlsts should at once identify
themselves with the rest Of the Liberals
by taking seats In the House oil Commons
among them. He reiterated his opinion
that the split in the party would soon
heal.
Mr.. Chamberlain followed, saying he
would willingly accept Lord HartIngtons
leadership, with whom be was In entire
and cordial sympathy. This announce.
ment brought forth tumutuous applause.
He declared that the Unionists were the
real vlCtoB In the late elections. Messrs.
James and Caine made addresses In
similar vein. A vote OF thanks 10 Lord
Harrington was carried by acClamation.
A resolution was unanimously adopted
to the effect that the Radicals and Liberal
Unionists work together with their leaders,
who, as privy councillors, should claim
seats In the House OF Commons on an
equality with the Gladstone leaders.
Air. Gladstone's letter To Mr.. Arnold
Morley frightens bis supporters and the
Conservatives alike, the latter fearing that
his retirement would reunite the Liberal
party. There is high authority for stating
that Mr.. Gladstone does not intend 10 re.
tire. Hewill personally attend the House
Of Commons upon all important occabions
and take an active part In all debates
which seem 10 require bis participation.

from Pennsylvania Mr.. Randall had
stated that Ia his opinion 1t was indecent

acterized 1t In language which

not only 10 the House but to himself that

Objection was made and M. Baker
then had the resolution read as q part OF
his remarks in order to secure Its publiCa'
tion in the Record. Several efforts we're
made by the Democrats to prevent It's
reading, but as Mr., Baker under tho rules

In the Record.
