Alma:-The citizens of our village were
RECALLED with n rare treat on last Monday, the
18th. Maj. Warner, the republican candi-
date for congress in the 9TH district, gave our
citizens a first rate democratic speech, which
appeared to be appreciated by his republican
hearers. At least they applauded him when
ever he boosted of having voted with the
democrats on ZONE democratic measure, such
as his vote for the free coinage of silver. In
fact, every vote that he cast in Congress-,
til 1t he referred to and took credit on him
Self for having given, was a vote that he cast
with the democratic majority, and Il measure
that the democratic party has been contend
Ing for for years. He made no reference to the
tariff or uther measures where he had voted
abused man in the state, and when he refer
red to the abuse he had received it resolved
itself into the fact, that the democrats had
said that he had disgraced tbs district, which
l think is not strictly true, as the democrats
say that it is a disgrace for a democratic dis
trict to be represented by a republican, and |
hope every democrat In the district has come
to the same conclusion. The most of those
present land he had 4 very good and atten.
tive audiencel were from Concordia, who |
suppose came to help get up the enthusiasm
for the occasion. But notwithstanding the
peculiar effort OF the distinguished gentleman
/ think it fell rather fiat. We are all tight
down here. and if there are any sore
heads here we have failed as yet to hear from
them. 1t Appeals to be the misfortune of
Lexington TO be cursed by the entire lot. [
cannot account for 1t on any other theory
than that Lexington is overrun by statesmen
of the crank order.

THE EIGHT HOUR SYSTEM.

The results growing out of the agi-
tation of the labor question are threat
ening to become serious, in fact, they
are already so, as witnessed by the riots
in Chicago and Milwaukee during the
present week. The more recent strikes
have been ordered because employers
have refused to submit to the eight hour
rule-that is, consider eight hours a
days work. The workingmen who
make the demand. do not IN
derstand TO what an extent the imme-
date granting of their demands would
unsettle the business affairs of the
whole country; and perhaps have not
counted what it would cost them.
Many Of those who have struck to OBJ
tain the eight hour system, at the same
time have demanded the same pay as
they have been receiving for ten hours
work. That means TO the employers
really the same as an advance in wages
Of 20 per cent. Now, the question is,
can capital afford to make such advance
in wages? The sharp competition ex-
isting in all branches of business, es-
pecially in manufacturing industries.
would make it ruinous to capital TO
make such advance. Butsome would an.

Guilty would be in making the system

too glad to get employment at ten
hours for days work. But suppose
the eight hour system were made uni
versal, and capital was compelled to
pay the same wages as for a days work
of ten hours, and assuming that capital
is only now making q fair percentage
on its investment, how is it to sustain

MASSACHUSETTS DIVORCES.

We learn that for the May term of
the Supreme Court of Boston there are
two hundred and thirty-four divorce
cases docketed. The Alexandria Ga
zette says: Both parties in each of
these cases want to marry again. And
yet the Massachusetts Congressman
are among the most blatant advocates
OF the Edmunds anti-polygamy law"
There is great deal of meaning in that
quiet sarcasm. The Massachusetts
Congressman wage war upon the plural
wife system of the Mormons on the
ground of its being destructive of the
home, and yet the system of divorce in
Massachusetts admits of a successive
polygamy more baneful to the stability
and sanctity of the home than Mormon
plurality, even if it is as black as Kate
Field and other writers have painted 1t.
From perfectly reliable statistics, fur
nished by New England authors, We
are informed that on an average two
thousand families are broken up every
year in the New England States. Yer
lily, this shows that culture cults, and
civilization civilizes. What must be the
state of morality of that society that
leads TO this wholesale butchery OF
families Need the Senators of that
State grow red in the face in denounc-
ing the supposed social evils of Utah I?
Massachusetts has q social problem
to solve quite as complex and much
more harmful to society, and more
threatening to the perpetuity of the
family than exists in Utah The pe0-
pie of Utah can more easily manage
her social problem than MassR-
chusetts can hers.

PERFORMED THEIR DUTY.

Whatever may be the outcome of
the efforts made by Delegate Game and
associates in Washington to defeat
pernicIous and vicious legislation
against the Mormons, the latter will
have the consciousness of knowing that
their cause has been eloquently and
earnestly pleaded, and that nothing
which could have been done by humble,
intelligent ard self-respecting men 10
prevent the passage of wicked laws,
has been left undone. Never before
has such an effort been made to thwart
the pursosos of: the enemies to Utah,
and Illustrate the aims of the unprinci-
pied adventures, who are 50 despe-
rately bent on gaining control of the
Territory. The arguments and state
ments of Messrs. Chandler,
BOatwell, Game. Gibson, Rich
ards and West, made before
the House judiciary committee, should
make it plain TO that body of lawyers
that Utah is already grievously suffer
ing iron too much vicious legislation,
and that instead Of any more bad laws
being passed some of them now in the
booZs-should be repealed Some men,
bers of the committee are able lawyers
whose reputation is national; they are
men who, one would naturally think,
cannot afford to give their approval to
the nonstrous propositions which they
are asked to endorse; we are therefore
inclined 10 believe that having been
shown the pernicious character of the
measures requested at their hands, they
Will be brave and manly enough to be
henest with themselves and fair to the
people of Utah. At any rate, the peo-
PIE, through their representatives, have
deRe their full duty in the premises and
cannot be charged with permitting evil
10 come by their own default, or through
negligence.

sbouId make every effort to secure a
fair'day's wages TOR an honest, fair days
york let them be careful not to take
a course that will drive capital from the
field of investment, close the mill, the
factory. the mines, OF cause the aban
dopment of the railroads, and thus de-
feat themselves.
ON the other hand, can labor afford
the eight hour system, provided it is
paid at the same rates per hour as 1t IS
now under the ten hour SYSTEM
Can it stand eight hours work and
eight hours pay? This means to the
laborer a reduction in his wages of 20
per cent. and very few workmen will
think they can afford it. Dividing the
twenty-four hours iE our day into
three equal parts-eight hours for
sleep, eight hours for work and eight
hours for self-calture, social enjoyment,
etc.-looks very well on paper, but as
matters stand at present neither capital
nor labor can afford the eight hour sys-
tenn.
1t is true the eight hour sys-
TEN would have its advantages.
There would be less drain upon
the physical forces OF tine working men
more hours for domestic duties and in
teIlectual and social improvement; and
it would create more room for labor
because more men would be required to
perform the labor that is now per-
formed, and thus a decrease OF
of idle workmen; but affairs will have
to adjust themselves to this new order
of things py degrees, if they change at
all. To make the change suddenly
would lead to such industrial disturb
ances as would well nigh prove disas-
trous-
The revolution that will eventually
lead to the amelioration of the work
ingman's condition will be gradual, be-
cause it will be based upon better un-
Outstanding and a mutual regard for
each others rights, between capital and
labor.
