Eight Hours a Day.

Various labor organizations have for
some time been considering the idea of
making a general effort on the first of
May to reduce the days work to eight
hours. Several months ago the cooper
alton of the knights of Labor was
sought. but refused, the officers of that
order taking the sensible ground that a
genecal reduction of the hours of labor
to eight would involve a prOpOrtionate
reduction of wages. Moreover, even II
such a movement could expect general
success under favorable circumstances,
it was evident that it would be impru-
dent to begin on such short notice and
with so little preparation. The request
for eight hours might, of course, be
granted. or a compromise entered into
bv EMPLOYERS in trades where business
happens to be exceptionally brisk, but
the expectation of general compliance
was pretty sure to be disappointed.
The Central Labor Union of this town
and its local assemblies in other cities
have been active in the matter, but each
trade represented in the union has Deen
free to act upon its own responsibility
and for its individual advantage. In
stead of combined movement for eight
hours. a combined movement for shorter
hours has been set oD foot, or is to be.
Thus, the United Iron Workers want
nine hours, the bakers some ten ana
some twelve, and some Of the tailors
eight to ten. But the United Ptanoma-
kers have already demanded eight hours
and the furniture makers haye notified
their employers of similar demand,
while other trades are expected to do
the same.
The result may in some cases be
compromise, but among people in the
trades affected there seems to be belle1
that a strike of considerable magnitude
is imminent. In some respects the time
is unfortunately chosen for strike,
the dull season already having set
in. but the periods of depression when
a general decline in wages is inevitable,
everything else having declined, are in
variabIy chosen for strikes, lockouts,
and general contests of the sort.
With certain limits the movement for
shorter hours attracts sympathy, but
the question will not be settled by SYM
pathY, but by the harder rules of prac-
tical business. That tell hours pay
will be given for eight hours work IS
net seriously to be expected at present.
The sensible solution of the question
| is to pay, noe by the day but by the
| hour.-N. Y. San, Apr. %.

DIR. BUTTERMORE, a prominent ex-
member of the Legislature from Fay
cite county, and Jesse Smith and M. B.
Harding, of the same county, who were
charged with conspiracy in obtaining
s12, 500 from the State Treasury for the
erection of a hospital at ConnellsviIle,
on the representation that a similar sum
had been subscribed and paid in by other
citizens of Fayette county, as required
by the act authorizing the erection of
hospitals, when such was not the case,
were tried at Harrisburg last week and
convicted. A motion was made for a
new trial, and the 18th instant was fixed
for hearing the argument. At Smiths
and Harding's request their counsel af-
terward withdrew the motion and asked
that they be sentenced. They made a
statement to the court declariag that
they had acted throughout the business
under ButtermOre's instruction and had
10 dishonest purpose in view. Judge
SimontOn, believing that they we're
more sinned against than SHINING, then
sentenced them to pay a fine of $500
each and to be imprisoned in Jail for one
hour. Buttermore will not get Of so
easily when his case comes up again on
the 18th, as there is hardly a single re-
deeming feature in his conduct through
out the whole matter.

IT is announced from Berlin that the
German Minister of Worship has Off
cially notified the Lower House of the
Prussian Diet Of the government
agreement to revise the May laws and
of the Pope's assent to the proposal that
the government shall be notified of all
appointments made by the Vatican.
The controversy over the May laws be-
tween the Pope and the German govern
ment, has lasted about sixteen years,
and an amicabIe adjustment of the dis.
pute, which now seems to be assured,
will no doubt cause a mutual feeling of
relief and qualification both at Rome
and Berlin.

John Marshall, F. r. s., says that II a
person, especially a girl OF womnn, whose
clothing is on FIRE, will lie down in hori-
zontal position, the flames will become for
the time being, nearly harmless. and time
will thus be gained for further action. The
reason for this needs no explanation. He
further recommends that there be at every
school an example of this fact at least once
in each term, by means of two upright mod
els, prepared alike ana set on fire simults-
neously. the one to be thrown over after two
seconds and the other in thirty seconds.
The suggestion is a good one.

NJ 5. QUAY took charge of the Treas
ury Department at Harrisburg on Mon
day last. Mr.. Livsey, the retiring
Treasurer, will hereafter act as Cashier,
and Mr.. Greenawalt, who was Cashier
under him, will be Chief Clerk. 1t is a
'.hextraordinary coincidence" as old
Sam Wheeler would say, that just as
soon as Quay assumed the duties OF his
office he began receiving 'letters
from all parts Of the State from promi-
nent Republicans pledging him their
support in the contest for the United
States Senatorship next January. Now
that Quay has commenced to run the
Treasury he will undertake 10 run a few
other things, the most important of
which, at least TO himself, will be to run
the approaching Republican State Con-
ventiOn in the interest Of 4. Wilson
Norris, of Philadelphia, who is a pet
of Quay's, and who thinks he is the right
man to be nominated for Auditor Cen
eral. If he succeeds in bringing that
result about his next objective point
will be the United States Senatorship,

Convention in this county a short time
before he was nominated FOR State
Treasurer, to be a brilliant statesman. y
Quay has a very big contract on his
hands, but as he has usually heretofore
shown his capacity to surmOunt the
most formidable obstacles in his path,
the chances are that he will accomplish

THEE Coinage Committee of the
House made a report on yesterday week
recommending the passage of the bill
for the redemption of the trade dollars.
The bill provides that for six months
after it's passage trade dollars shall be
received at their face value in payment
of all dues to the United States, and
shall not be again paid out OF issued in
any other manner. Holders of the trade
dollars, on presentation of the same,
may receive in exchange therefor an
equal amount of standard silTeI dollars,
ard the trade dollars so received shall
be transmitted to the coinage mints and
! IecOined into standard silver dollars.
The report says that the amount which
would be presented for redemption
would not greatly exceed ten and a-half
millions out of a total coinage of nearly
| thirty-six millions. 1t is thought that
| the amount now in this country is about
: seven millions, and that no very great
amount of that which has been exported
| to China would ever be returned to the
United States. 1t is to be hoped that
this Congress will not adjourn like
others before have done, without taking
final action to ennable the people who
hold trade collars to get rid Of them
without incurriDg any loss. If this bill
passes that result will be attained.

The question Of this year is whether the
people have any definite judgment to ex-
press regarding eighteen months of Demo-
cratic government other than that which
they expressed when Democrats were max
ing profuse promises in 1884. If they
have not, if they are as ignorant or indif-
ferent as ordinary Democratic politicians
suppose, there will be Democratic ma
jority in the next House. But if the peo-
pie have an intelligent opinion about what
has been going on, if they are indignant
at the discovery that Democratic reform is
cheat, If they are Inundated at the re-
movals and appointments which have been
made in the name of reform, if they are
outraged because their interests have been
neglected while Democrats have wrangled
and played the demagogue, then we shall see
a change of votes and political revolu-
ton. II will amaze the ordinary Demo-
cratic politicians when it comes, as usual,
because they calculate that the people are
as Indifferent TO the public welfare, as
careless about public honesty, and as ignor-
ant Of public questions as themselves
