Eight Hours.

To the Editor of the Indianapolis Jou rnal:
In your issue of Friday, You have an editorial
upon the subject of eight hours for working men,
and which editorial most men can indorse; yet
there is at least one point which you failed to
reach, and which is of vital Importance. One
Dor is the relaxation Another is the op portunity
it gives working men to inform themselves Yet
another is the tendency to scatter. to speak,
the employment out and make it last longer.
If day of eight hours brings no more wages,
yet the benefits arising from the system win be
great. Tt is well-known fact that idleness be-
clined to spend his money. Take the opportu
Five days work divided into six days is far
better than work Ave days and the sixth day
idle. Especially is this the case where there is
not employment enough for ali, and a conse-
quent idling away of more than one-sixth of the
time. It is worse than idle for labor to attack
capital, and charge that factor with the evils of
hard times. No man will invest his capital at
dead loss He must be reasonably sure he will
make at least profit on his investment, or he
will withhold his capital. Muscle must
meet the issue squarely, and demand
nothing but what is reasonable. Ask a reduction
of hours and acquiesce in corresponding redue
ton of daily wages and in the end they will fare
better than with the present system. 1t is un-
fair to ask capital to pay the same wages for
eight hours of labor as is now paid for ten hours.
A compromise would be judicious, and reduc-
ton would revert'to the benefit of both capital
and labor. j. D. TRACY

An unprovoked stabbing.

EVANSVILLE, Ind, Feb. 27.-Shortly after 6
o'clock this evening party of men were on their
way from rock quarry, about seven miles from
this city, to saloon Hipps postoffice
When near their destination they met negro
named Taborer, who exchanged few words
with them. and then, with apparently no provo
cation at all, he drew huge knife from his
pocket and stabbed one of the party
named VIM Atkinson, in the abdomen.
The men did not learn until after they
arrived at the saloon that Atkinson was injured.
On learning that the negro had inflicted seri
GUS wound they started 10 pursuit OF the assail
ant, but up to IL o'clock tonight he had not
been arrested. DIR. Owen, the county physician,
was called, and found that the unfortunate man
had received his death wound, the knife
having entered the abdomen two inches to
the left of the navel, causing hemorrhage.
The physician stated that he could not possibly
live longer than midnight Sheriff Schaum and
a deputy started in search of Taborer A great
deal of excitement prevailsin the vicinity where
the crime was committed, and if the negro is
captured by the wounded mans friends it is
probable that he will be lynched

BERLIN Feb 27-The committees appointed
by the upper and lower houses of the Landtag on
bills for Germanizing the Polish provinces will
report in favor Of the governments proposals,
with slight amendments.
In the debate in the lower house on the bill
for the appointment of elementary school-teach
ers, DIR. Windthorst leader Of the Clerical party,
demanded that no change be made in the
scholastic system until the PRONUNCIATION
of the new law as to public instruction.
He declared that if the schools were Withdrawn
from the surveillance of the church and placed
under the sole control of the state the change
would be more fatal than the culturkampf
Herr Virchow announced himselfa partisan in
the matter of Germanzing the Polish provinces,
upon this condition, that it developed German
civilization. He (Virchow). however, was OPP
posed to the adoption of any violent means or
exceptional laws in order to effect even that re-
suit.
One amendment made by the committee, it is
expected, will maintain the right of supervision
by communal authorities, land owners and pat
rons of schools. The final adoption of the bill is
certain, although Catholic opposition heightens,
under a belief that the measure will pave the
way for similar supervision throughout Prussia.

Mr.. Sharp Had the Aldermen "Fixed."

NEW York, Feb 27.-The Broadway surface
railroad investigation was continued to-day.
George b. Powen. who was employed by Jacob
Sharp to obtain the consent of Broadway prop
erty owners, testified to frequently seeing Billy
Maloney at conferences held with Sharp and Fo-
shay at the Fifth avenue Hotel. Maloney once
brought a package which. according to Powell's
description. was about the size of a
package of greenbacks. The witness did
not know what was in it. The
witness once told Sharp that he
feared If the Mayor should veto the resolution
by the Board of Aldermen granting the Broad
way railroads franchise, the result would be
disastrous. The witness continued as follows:
HE [Sharp] said he had tie board fixed, and
that the resolution would be passed over the
Mayors veto He did not name any sum of
money, or amount necessary to fix the board. I
may have done so, but don't remember
having named to him the sum of
100000 as the amount which was
or had been. necessary for that work. He did
not seem to have any apprehensions as to fail
ure OF the board to pass the resolution, but he
pooh-poohed the idea. and said It's all -
nonsense"
The witness averred that Billy Maloney took
no part IN the consultations when the witness
was present. but supposed he was there on some
business connected with the Board of Aldermen,
OF which he was reading clerk. He usually
waited till after the witness left

SOUND SILVER TALK.

In his late silver speech in the United
States Senate, Mr.. Pugh, Of Alabama,
said: "Mr. President, when we come to
reflect upon all that has been done to dis.
parage silver, its defense of itself must
be considered the best evidence of its
stability that could be offered. It has
been assailed in every conceivable direc-
tion. 1t has been stabbed and betrayed
in the house Of its friends, whose duty
it was made by law to protect it. In
1878 it was demonetized because it was
worth more than gold and would not
circulate; they seek in 1886 to demone.
tize it because it is worth less than gold
and will circulate. The fact that in
spite of all these assaults it is only 20
per cent less than gold. aud that it will
still buy as much of the necessaries OF
life as it ever would aud even as much as
gold, is a stronger argument in behalf of
its stability and value as a medium of ex.
change than any / could make. No
wonder 1t is so popular with the people.
Perhaps the most unfair treatment which
it has received consists in the refusal of
the Government to pay it to the public
creditors as required by the law and con.
tract. The anxiety manifested by our
Government to pay these creditors some
thing more than they are entitled to re-
ceive has, | will venture to say, never
been equalled by that of any other PEG.
