Struck for Teu-hours.

CHICAGO, May ga strike of novel
form was developed at Featherstone's
foundry yesterday. The IS employees
there had gained concession Of the eight
hour day, and had worked several days
under that system. On last Saturday a
committee of the men waited upon Mr..
Featherstone and stated that they wanted
the ten-hour day restored. He replied by
asking if they knew what they really did
want. They had compelled him to give
them the eight-hour day. He did so,
and made arrangements to conduct bis
business upon the eight-hour basis. He
could not change the hours every time he
was asked to do SO, and told them that they
could only work eight hours a day. Yes
terdsy the men struck for the restoration
of the tcr-hour day. 1t is understood that
the matter will be settled today.

II ONE day last week forty-nine coupon
cases were tried in the corporation court OF
Lynchburg, and every one of them was de.
cided against the State. IF it were not for
the necessarily incident expense to the
State, the opposition of the authorities at
Richmond to the reception Of coupons in
payment of State dues would DO ridiculous;
referred to, as that cost has to be paid by
the State. "a provision is made for its pay
ment, and rs in the aggregate its amount
will be enormous, that opposition, especial
ly in the straitened financial condition IN
which those who make it assert the State to
be, verges upon the outrage line, and should
be withdrawn Immediately.

IT SEEMS from the number of coupon suits
being instituted in different parts of the
State, that not only drummers, but many
other people who have to pay taxes and Ii
cense fees, find in the law providing for the
payment of the damages awarded in such
suits an easy and certain way of making
money. 1t Is sport to them, but anything
else to those whose property is taxed to pay
such damages. Why the former should be
thus favored is what no body, except leg.
slator can tell.

AS THIS Congress seems to be enamored
of the existing high tariff, the best thing it
could do would be to extend the operation
of the tariff from the necessaries of human
life to life itself, and to impose duty upon
immigrants. That would be real protec-
ton TO American labor, and not the sham
protection that is afforded by the present
tariff. Then. too, the people Of this country
are already becoming crowded, and they
want oil the little spare room that is left for
their own children. And, besides all this,
the immigrants who have been arriving
lately arc not Of the class that will do the
country any good. Any right sort of man,
who wants TO live in lroe America, wont OBJ
ject to paying an immigrant tax; and no
other sort ought to be admitted.

II EVERY REALLY industrious striker
wonid 80 to work and be economical, he
could save enough, at the present
high rate of wages and cheap cost of living
in few years to enable him to be an en-

ence realizing sense of the necessity of his

of it, no matter how little.

THOUGH THE strike on the Third Avenue

by those who managed it, for the reason
that when such declaration is made the
