g0NORs TO The BOYS IN BLuE.

The preparations made by the G. A.
X. Post and Sons of Veterans to cele-
brate Decoration Day at this place
we're very successful and under the
careful supervision of those organiza-
tons the exercises were both interesting
and impressive. On Sunday union
services were held at the NJ. E. Church
where Rev. Bracken presented some
very interesting thoughts on the obser-
vance of this holiday. Reviewing, alb
straetly, the wars for principles Of
right, beth in profane and sacred his
tory, and citing incidents Of the almost
universal custom OF commemorating
these wars by annual celebrations.
The day following the exercises were
resumed Is the Court House where
they were favored with a full atten-
dance Of post members and citizens.
ELOQUENT and touching tributes were
here rendered by DR.. Wallace and
Prof. C. A. Lewis, and none present
can but feel that the vioaTiOus tolls and
adasrings Of the soldier entitle hun TO
our respect while living and that we
owe it 10 posterity TO perpetuate in
death the memory Of the cause and its
defenders. At the close the lines were
formed and a lasgs procession headed
by the members OF she G. A. r. and
Sons of Veterans marched to the Gem
siery. Prayer was then offered. fol-
lowed by the ritual ceremonies Of the
Post and an appropriate poem by Miss
Alay Nash. The decoration Of graves
then took place and after marching
back to the city disbanded, all feeling
that it had been a day Of interest and
profit. TO make no mention Of the ex-
eellent nnsic furnished on the occasion
would be an injustice both 10 the sing
ers and mo exercises
The wsather was fne and the spirit

Edward Atkinson shows in the last
number Of Bradstreet's that in each
1000 workers in the United States only
100 are engaged in occupations upon
whom an eight-hOur law could be en-
forced, and that consequently the pas
sage Of such a law would simply Oper-
ate to dspress the trades upon which it
cuold be enforced, relatively to all other
trades. In the first place, agriculUur-
al labor, cattle and sheep growing,
horticulture and fishing could not be
subjected to an eight hour law, and If
they could be it would ruin them.
Blast furnaces, gas works, bakeries res
taurantss and all other emplOyments
requiring continuous heat, could not be
subjected 10 an eight-hOur rule without
instant destruction, Paper mills re-
qnire continuous operation. So also
do railroads Then there are the great
multitude of emplOyments that the Off
GERS of the law can never reach, or
know anything abOut,-the people who
work at home, such as seamSresses,
WasherWOmen, carpenter s, blacksmiths
i'm short, everybody who is his own
employer. The only trades hat could
be reached are those in which large
numbers of workers are collected for
the purpose of attending machinery
such as cotton and wooden mills, roll
ing mills, boot and shoe factories, and
the like. These number not one in ten
Of the people Of the United State Who
work with their han ds. As to these,
Mr.. Atkinson says with his usual pen
etratiOn 90
''If the advocates Of an eight-hour law
should get it passed, the first efforts of
the same men who had pro noted it
would be to find out how to work over
time to the best advantage in order to
gain better subsistence. The logical
result Of all such acts by which the free
conduct Of adults is restricted in GER
tain specific cases is 10 limit the full
nse OF labOr-saving mac hinery, and
thus tighten the neces sary hours of
work of the great mass OF people. -

The Oberlin Democrat interviews S.
W. BlcElroy, on the county seat SIGHT
between Bird City and Wano, in Chey-
enne county, which it sums up in the
following language:
Fearing that some legal questions
might arse over the county seat queS-
LiOn IN Cheyenne county that would re-
quire additional talents more than Bird
City possesses, S. W. McElrOy, of this
place, was summoned to present the
claim of the city on the hill, when the
canVassing board met TO count the
votes.
Mac appreciated the compliment
thus paid him, and providing himself
with all the law books he could carry

For several days this whole COmmu-

In due course Of time Mac returned

The Atchlson Champion never tires
in speaking q good word for Northwest
Kansas, as in q recent issue Of that en-
terprising journal we find the following
truthful remarks:
''It can be said of all the Northwest
Kansas towns that they are doing pref
ty well' and particularly the county
seats are having a remarkable growth.
Considering that this section has never
had a railroad that would do a fairly
liberal amount of blowing as has the
great Santa Fe thorough the country
they traverse, OUR northern half of the
State, and more especially the two
northwestern tiers Of counties, have
never received greater amount Of
newspaper advertising than they are
now receiving. Newspapers are null
tiplying in numbers, and every one Of
them is booming its town, scattering
broadcast to thousands Of people ac-
counts of the sprInging up of new towns
railroad enterprises, the breaking up of
raw prairie, setting out of trees, the
arrival of stock, tho erection Of school
houses and churches, the prodigiOus
growth of cereals, the advantages to
be gained in locating Sin this or that
town, and q description OF the most
beautiful and fertile country tho sun
ever shOne upon.

Judging from the headlines which we
copy from a late article on the county
seat fight in Cheyenne county, in the
Rustler it would seem that the paper
was sailing under the right caption.
''VictOry for Wanoi And honest men
for Office. The people rule and God
reins. Bird City and-in-spite-of HI
get left. The people refuse to be fright
ened away from the polls. Or misled
by spurious circulars. They express
their will in laundering tones, that
leave no room for doubt, and say that
the county seat shall be permanently
located at Wano, where it can never be
removed, and where it will be within a
reasonable distance from all concerned.
Adding insult to injury does not win
but aroused the right eOus indignation
of the people TO a point where election
day daWned on as determined a set Of
sturdy yeOmanry as ever assembled at
a call TO do their duty. Bird City tam
pering wish the ballot box, but they
had better yield to the inevitable, and
peaeeably abide by the decision of the
votes Of Cheyenne expressed by the bal
lot box
