The Ei3i.t-lIOur System.

The American Federation of Labor
has named May l, $780, as the day for
inaug6rating tie eght-hOur system.
The federation embraces all labor
unions and Is very powerful organi-
zation. Il will lie observed that the
time for making the demand is placed
far enough in the future to give ample
opportunity tor the most serious con
sideratiOn.
Il is argued in behalf of the system
that there is not enough work for all
when ten hours is made a days work,
but if the time is reduced to eight
hours the unemployed will be benefit
ed in n CORE spending ratio. This con-
clusion is logical, and if tie move
ended here there would be but little
to add. But there are mary other
important adjuncts to be considered.
The first important question is: Will
the laborers accept eight hours pay,
or will they ask ten hours ay for
eight hours work? If we judge the
future by the past, the iaborers VIII
want full pay fer eight hours work,
and their employers will insist that
pay must be based upon ten hours
constituting days work. 1t is evil
dent that plenty of trouble will follow,
and it is a difficult matter to imagine
what the result will be. The large
manufacturers are not philanthropists.
After they have scared the ir employ es
into voting the republican ticket they
turn their attention solely 10 making
money. If they concede that eight
hours shall constitute days work, il
will be with the proviso that eight
hours pay, in place of ten, shall be in
cluded.
In the pursuit of ordinary occupa'
tions ten hours of labor is not exces.
sive. Farmers work from daylight
until dark, and they live just as long
and enjoy as good health as any class
of men. It may also be stated thai
| the wives of laborers invariably work
twelve hours per day, and we doub
very much if they will receive the
benefit of the eight-i.our system, ever
if it proves successful.
If the move is solely in the interest
of the unemployed, and the federation

A Crow That Kept Bar.

Out in Munroe county, Miss, the
crows have lately made themselves
obnoxious by their persistent invas ion
of the corn-fields. A man who had
been hired to watch particularly
promising field and inform these birds
that it was against the rule to pick up
anything therein, bethought himself
how he conld make ''soft thing" Of it
for himself and at the same time NEE.
the requirements of his contract.
Finally, by a beautiful instinct, he hit
upon the plan of soaking some corn
in whiskey ard placing it in the field,
so that the crows would eat it and get
drunk, and thus enable him to have a
sure and easy thing of killing them.
He had tried the shotgun, but crows
smell powder long way. Alter soak
ing some corn over night he put good
supply in the field next morning, and
in two or three hours went out to see
how things went on. One of the crows,
a little larger than the rest, had taken
possession of nearly all the corn, had
built himself a bar out of some clods oil
earth and was retailing the whisgey.

the whole proceeding SO human that
he killed not crow, but came back tc

Ready for the Future.
UUnC.

From the New York World
The Democratic party has existed
longer than the Union 1t has its
origin in The revolt against the oppres-
sions of what was then the home gov
ernment. 1t was born IN opposition to
unjust taxation. 1t fought the war of
independence. 1t has lived since the
foundation of the republic because its
underlying principles are the embodi-
ment of equal rights and go vernment.
Other political organizations have
passed away because they have been
created by the exigencies of the mo-
ment or the thirst for powers. The
Federalists were those who could not at
first renounce the love of monarchical
forms and the passion for artist ocratic
distinction. The Wings were the nat
ural descendants of the Federalists.
The Republican party is the outgrowth
of the Whig party, made temporarily
powerful through its commendable
championship of freedom and the folly
of the slave-holding States The Fed
eral party has won an accidental victo-
ry which already threatens to destroy
it.
Let those who predict that Mr..
Clevelanh's discontinue means the
destruction of the Democracy reflect
on these facts and remem Der that the
Democratic party liveu through twen-
ty-four years of defeat, misrepresenta-
ton and prejudice. 1t has just recaiv-
ed the Endorsement of a plurality of
the voters of the United States for its
presidential candidate. 1t has carried
the State Of New York for every Dem
ocratic State candidate on tie issue of
tax reduction through tariff reform.
The electoral vote of this State, w hich
was cast against Mr. Cleveland by his
own party on considerations entirely
personal, would have given the Demo-
Gratis the victory and have DEFEATED
Mr.. Harrison.
What folly to pretend that such an
organization is in danger of dissolution
or hopeless Of a speedy return to the
ascendancy to viii ch a majority party

The Late Election.

Commenting upon the late election,
the New York Star observes that, not
withstanding the election of Harrison,
a majority Of the popular vote at the
late election was cast for Cleveland,
tas evidently made deep impression
on tue public mind. That impression
is strengthened by the fact that Cleve-
lands plurality in his defeat in 1888
was more than three times as large as
that which he obtained in the victory
of 1884. From this lack of correspon-
deuce between the popular and the
electoral vote it is justly concluded
that the Democratic party still holds
the confidence of the American people.
1t is also urged in some quarters that
the figures show that the election Of
Harrison was due to corruption, and
that while "Tilden was robbed out
right. Cleveland has fallen before the
arts of brihery.n While no one pro-
poses to attempt to interfere with the
declared and accepted results of the
presidential contest, it is right that the
whole truth respecting the election
should be learned and dispas>iunately
considered, with a view to the future
protection of the suffrage.
OF course, under our present system,
an honest vote might give the popular
plurality to one candidate and the elec-
toral preponderance to another. The
questions now presented are: Was the
recent election in fact decided by cor
ruption? and is it desirable to alter the
constitution SO as to provide for the
election of president and vice-president
by direct vote of the people of the en-
tire country? The investigation of
| frauds at the late election must be
| thorough; the punishment of all found
guilty of corruption must he severe,
AS to altering the constitution in haste,
| that is another thing.

Before and After.

Before the election the New York
Tribune was clamorous for high tar
iff to raise wages. Now it is alarmed
al proposition to establish by law a
wage minimum to ensure fair division
of the tariff premium between wage
worker and employer. Tn protest ting
against this proposition the Tribune
labors to show that such a raise of
wages would be fraud upon the work
ingman, tax instead of increased le-
muneration.
"Put the wages five times as high
says the Tribune, land the cost of
things which TIE worker has to buy
will be raised also enough to take
away the desired benefit. Production
of a great many things would be rem
dered impossible, not merely by an ex-
travagant minimum, but by any min
inum for wages other than that fixed
by the general demand for labor"
In other words, according to the
Tribune. law to raise the cost Of pro-
duets for the exclusive benefit of the
rich employer is good for the laborer
and the country, but law to compel
the employer to share the increased
remuneration with his mill-hands
would be very Injurious to the latter.
The Tribune evidently favors COM
munstic legislation in the interest of
capital as wholesome and proper, but
opposes similar legislation in behalf of
labor as wicked and unwise. 1t wants
one sauce for the geese ard another for
the gander.-Post-D Dispatch

primitive methods and forms of living
are at once distasteful to an Eastern

a few adventurous people have gone

what can be done in stock-raising and
agricultural pursuits. And yet they

work in ploughing into that dark land,
and in letting in the light of a better

izers. That country would not have

about the middle of that large territory
we meet the Southern Pacific railroad,
with long reaches from tide to tide on
this side. We take its train of ease and
even elegance, and speed on our way
over plains and deserts, bounded at
vast distances by mountain peaks,
whose rocky sides bulge out with vast
and undeveloped mineral wealth. All
along this route from Kansas we find
new kinds Of varied vegetation, useful,
and that which is "a marvel of wonder,
what it was ever created for, or why it
holds its supremacy over those vast
plains. But, So it is and will be till a

The sutj ect is broad, important and
many-sided, and it should be discussed
with much temperance and delibera-
ton and with careful regard to the pos
sible effect of a change in the autonomy
