Cleveland and the Eight Hour Law.

/
WAsHNeroN, January 23.-At re-
cent meeting of the Committee on La
Dor of the House of Representatives,
statements were made that the spirit of
the Eight hour law was being openly
violated, ignored or evaded in certain
of the government departments, and
Chairman O'Neill was empowered to
present to the House resolution OF in
/ quiry directed TO the various secreta-
Ties asking, in direct terms, whether
the law was being enforced BY them.
Pending the Introduction of resolu-
ton, Mr.. O'Neill sought an audience
with the President, which was granted
this afternoon and lasted for over an
hour, on the matter of the Eight-hour
law The President said : 81 be-
| ieve that the law is IA sound
one and a good one and that
it should be enforced to the letter.
1 have no information regarding the
instances OF its violation or eYas1on,-and
If such instances are presented TO me /
will see that the abuse is remedied and
the full spirit of law is enforced, (which
l understand to be to pay workmen in
the government employ for eight hours
work daily. what is paid outside of
government employ for a full days
work. Government cannot afford to set
the example of non-enforceme mt and
non-obseryance of its own enactments."
The President further said: Il ap-
preciate the effect upon the mechanics
of the country OF the constantly in
c1essing use Of labor-saving machinery
and can think of no more practical
relief for the unemployed surplus labor
than the occupation by it of the public
lands. do not hesitate to say that l
am heartily i'll favor of any feasible
f, plan for the encouragement and as
sistance of prospective American sett-
lers upon the public domain by the gen
eral government" In this connection
the President expressed some radical
views upon the subject of the occupa-
ton of vast tracts of public land by
foreign capitalists. The President
seemed DESTROYS to impress upon Mr..
ONeiI his Willingness to- heartiIy CO.
operate with Congress in any efforts it
may make to elevate the working classes
and improve the social condition OF the
| bread winners.

German or American?

PHILADELPHIA, January 23.-Thomas
MacReady, who was charged with
mutiny on German vessel, and who
claimed that he was a citizen of the
United States, had a further hearing
before the United States Commissioner
today. MacReady claims that he was
born at Lockport, y. Y, thirty-seven
wears ago, and named many places
where he had exercised his right to
vote. The compliments claimed that,
although MacReady might be native,
BON American, yet he is amenable to
the laws. For many years he has
shipped on German vessels, and
was, fort the purposes of the
voyage, German citizen. After
hearing both sides the commissioner
decided to release aeReady on his own
recognizance in order that he might
have time 10 establish his claim TO
citizenship. March Sth was the day
named for the final hearing, and the
commissioner stated that if, by that
time, MacReadv could establish his
claim to citizenship, he would discharge
him. He said it was a question in his
mind whether MacReady was Ger
man citizen for the purpose. of the voy
age. The case involved a great many legal
points and is of peculiarsinterest

POVERTY IN GERMANY.

A Massachusetts young man, now
in Germany as a student, writes
home of the distressing poverty which
he sees in Germany, of the way wo-
men have to work to keep their little
ones from starving; that they ale
glad to do a mans work, but cannot
always find it to do, and in that case
they must beg; that women bear
heavy burdens of produce to market,
and, in addition to the load on their
backs, is frequently nursing babe
in their arms and he adds: "The
question arises, where's the father?
Most likely in some beer garden, with
a mug of beer before him without O
thought of the hungry mother and
child, who are wandering through
the dark and narrow streets crying
for bread" He says: Everybody
uTluhS uetT III OcIulduf, efcu tie
clergy, and 1 do not care to associate
with any of the young men, as the
great and all-important question
with them is: Where is the best beer
sold? There is no home
sociability here. What sociability
there is is found in the restaurants,
where women and children, high and
low, meet together, and the
children learn to drink be-
fore they learn to walk" Again he
says: 81 have become convinced that
it is the temperance principle that
makes the homes of America the hap
py, prosperous homes which so many
of them are. and that the intemper-
ance of German makes German
homes what they are" And yet
the brewers Of America would, if
they could, transform the American
into the German type of life, and
have everybody here, as in Germany,
drink beer.-AdpOcute

OBEYING ORDERS.

An English farmer was one day at
work in the fields, when he saw
party of huntsmen riding about his
farm. He had one field which he
was especially anxious they should
not ride over, as the horses hoofs
would greatly injure the crop. So
he sent one of his boys, and told him
to shut the gate and keep watch there
and on no account to let anyone GO
through it. The boy went and had
scarcely taken his post there before
the huntsmen came up and ordered
him to open the gate. He declined
to do so, telling them what his orders
were, and that he meant to obey them.
They threatened him, but he did not
mind their threats. They offered him
money, but he refused to receive it.
AT last one of them came TO him and
said in commanding tones: my boy
you do not know me +; but I am the
Duke of Wellington. | am not ac-
customed to be disobeyed; and now
[ command you to open the gate,
that and my friends may pass
through" p" The boy lifted his cap,
and stood uncovered before the man
whom all England delighted to honor
and then answered firmly: 8" am
sure that the Duke of Wellington
would not wish me to disobey orders.
must keep this gate shut; no one
can pass through it but by my mas
ter's express permission" The
brave old warrior was greatly pleased
with this. Then he took off his own
hat, and said: 81 honor the man or
boy who can neither be bribed nor
frightened into disobeying orders.
With an army Of such soldiers l could
conquer not the French only, but the
world" Then, handing the boy a
sovereign, he put spurs to his horse
and galloped away. The boy went
back to his work, shouting out, as he
did so "Hurrah hurrah I've done
what Napoleon couldn't dol have
kept out the Dake of Wellington. -
