WaYerinR RditOr.

The following is from the Phoebe Rec
ord, whose editor is. no doubt, paving the
way for q direct leap into the Mormon
Church. He says: We have ridiculed the
faith OF the Latter Day Saints q good deal,
but we will do 80 no longer, for some
strange things have lately occurred which
has knocked our skepticism higher than
Gilroy's kite. One Of the strange phe-
nomena to which we allude, Is the conver-
sion Of Jack O'Brien OF Bristol, notoriety,
to Mormonism. Jack. as everybody knows,
has been anything but q saint, being q pill
grim to the shrine Of Bachus on divers oc-
c~asions. and IL must surely have taken
something more inspirationsl than priestly
logic to convince our bold Jack that his
only salvation lay In DOMINIC endowment
robes. Another conversion has been Be-
cured from among the ungodly OF Bullion
vile in the person of John Chisholm.
This is also q sumner to us, iDssmuch as
John has always been noted for an abund-
ance Of good horse sense, but as he Is q
sanatarium in himself, being the seventh
son Of the seventh son., and consequently
possessed of great healing qualities, the
Mormons have strenuously exerted them
selves In his case. As several other
prominent ullionvillisns, including Uncle
Jimmy Pierson, the venerable Captain
Garden, and our old friend Billy Gedling,
are about to don the endowment robes.
We are in anything but o peaceful state OF
mind.

SOUND DOCTRINES.

At a recent meeting of the Committed
on Labor OF the House Of Representa-
.ivcs, statements were made that thu
spirit Of the eight.hour law was being
openly violated, ignored or evaded in GER
tain OF the Government Departments,
and Chairman O'Neill was empowered &c
present to the House a resolution of in
quiry directed to the various Secretaries,
asking 10 direct terms whether the law
was being enforced by them.
Pending the introduction Of the reso-
luton, Chairman OrNeill sought an audi
ence with President Cleveland, which was
granted last Saturday afternoon and
lasted for over an hour on the matter OF
the eight-hour law.
The President said: 81 believe that
the law is . sound one, and that 1t should
be enforced to the letter. l have no In.
formation regarding instances of its vic.
lation or evasion, and II such instances
are presented to me | will see that the
abuse is remedied and the full spirit Of
the law is enforced. which | understand
to be to pay the workmen in the Govern.
ment employ for eight hours work daily,
what is paid outside the Government EN-.
ploy for q full days work. The Govern.
ment cannot afford to set or example OF
the non enforcement and non.observance
OF it's own enactments."
The President further said: ~ appre.
ciate the effect upon the mechanics OF the
country of the constantly increasing use
Of labor. saving machinery. and l can
think Of no more practical relief for I'm.
employed surplus labor than the occupa.
ticn by it of the public lands. do not
hesitate to say that I I'm heartily in favor
Of any feasible plan for the encouragement
and assistance OF prospective American
settlers upon the public domain by the
general Government"
In this connection, the President ex.
pressed some very radical views upon the
subject of tho occupation Of vast tracts
of public land by foreign capitalists. The
President seemed DESTROYS to impress
upon Mr.. O'Neill his willingness to
heartily cooperate with Congress In any
