Great Reduction in Price.

This is an elegant as well as valuable his
torical production. 1t is a largesized sheet
of heavy paper, embellished with brilliantly
colored representations of all the flags used
by the Colonies in the Revolutionary and
prior wars. They show how the Star
Spangled Banner was finally evolved out of
these. There is also on the chart pictures
of the old Independence Hall in Philadel-
phia, and the residence of the lady who
made the first Star Spangled Banner. In
the center Of the chart is a great white
star, with the words of the Star SpangIed
Banner" printed on its face. Around it are
pictorial reproductions of the various en-

Canadian seedmen to whom the United
States by recent postal treaty has given
advantage over American seedmen in the
way of postage at the rate OF $40 a
ton. In case the Postmaster-General
shall show that orders have been
given directing the examination OF
incoming mails for evidence OF their use
by American citizens, he is requested to
inform the House by what provision OF
the recent postal treaty or provision OF
law the officers of the postal service OF
the United States are authorizedto place
an espionage on said Canadian mail for
the purpose OF determining whether
American citizens are availing them
selves of the beneficent provisions ac-
corded to Canadians by the postal treaty.
Referred.
The House then went into Commit
tee of the Whole for the consideration of
Senate amendments TO the urgent deiici-
ency bill. After several amendments
had been disposed of-sone concurred in
and others rejected discussion rose upon
that striking out clause Gnserted IN the
House on motion OF Mr.. O'Neill, of
Missouri directing the Public Printer to
rigidly enforce the eight-hour law. The
Committee on Appropriations recon-
mend nOn-cOncurrence.
Mr.. McCOmas said that while as q
general thing be was opposed TO reite
rating the existing law, be was in favor
of the clause, because the Public Printer
deserved the censure which was con-
tanned in it. OF 2,062 employees Of his
Office 554 were required. in open de-
fiance of the express terms OF law, to
work ten, eleven. and twelve hours.
Congress should take hold OF the abuse
and insist on the law being enforced.
Mr.. Burnes said he had never before
heard it utimsted that the Public Printer
had violated the eight-hour law. There
was 10 violation of that law in permit
ting q man to work as many hours as he
might desire, and the speech of the gen
tleman WAS n gratuitous attack upon the
Public Printer.
Mr.. O'Neill suggested that his col
league did not know what the eight-hour
law was intended for.
Mr.. Burnes replied that his idea of
the law was that when aman was to be paid
for days work he was to be paid for
eight hours work The law was not 10 be
construed as stopping poor devil from
working when it was necessary for him
to work TO support his wife and children.
Mr.. O'Neill declared that if the eight
hour law was not passed to set good eX-
ample that wOuld be followed in private
business its passage was piece OF
hypocrisy TO play upon the working
classes. 1t was passed in the hope that
thousands and thousands of idle men
would be absorbed in the ranks of in
dustry. That was the spirit OF the law
The Public Printer violated that law and
it was also violated in the Bureau OF En-
craving and Printing. The Senate
amendment was nOn-concurred in.
Pending further consideration the
committee arose and the House ad-
journed.
