RIGHTS OF LABOR.
Robert G. Ingersoll on workingmen and
Employers.

Robert G. Ingersoll on Workingmen and
Employers.
New YORK, April 7th.-RobertG G. Inger-
soil had the following editorial over his
own signature in the Journal yesterday: I
hardly know enough of the subject to give
an opinion as to the time when eight hours
are to become days work, but i am per-
fectly satisfied that eight hours will become
the labor day. Working people should be
protected BY law. If they are not, capital
ISIS will require just as many hours as
human nature will bear. For q man to
get up before daylight and work till after
dark life is of no particular importance.
de simply earns enough one day to pre-
pare himself to work another. His whole
lie ls spent in want and toll. and such life
is without value. OF course, cannot saw
that the present effort is going to succeed.
All can say is that hope it will. l can
not see how any man who does nothing
can insist that others should work ten or
twelve hours day. Neither can see how
any man who lives on the luxuries of life
can find it in his heart or in his stomach,
to say that the poor ought to be satisfied
with the crusts and crumbs they get.
believe there is to be q revolution in
the relations between labor and capital.
The working people are reasoners. Their
uanus dnu neaOs are In partnership. They
know great deal more than the capital
lists. 1t takes thousand times more brain
to make locomotive than it does to run a
store or bank. and there is a great deal
more intelligence in the steamship and in
ali the thousand machines and devices that
are now working for the world. These
working people read; they meet together;
they discuss; they are becoming more and
more independent in thought. They do
not believe all they hear. The free school
in this country has tended to put men on
an equality. and the mechanic understands
his side OF the case and is able to express
his views. Under the circumstances there
must be revolution. The laboring men.
however. ought to remember that all who
labor are their brothers and that all
women who labor are their sisters, and
whenever one class of working men or
working women is oppressed all other
laborers ought to stand by the oppressed
class.
Any man who wishes to force his brother
to work more than eight hours day is not
q civilized man. My hope for the work.
ingman has its foundation in the fact that
he is growing more and more intelligent. 1
have also some hope for the capitalist.
When both become intelligent the matter
will be settled. Neither labor nor capital
should resort to force.

PENDING LEGISLATION.
What the Senate and House VIII Do This
Week.

WASHINGTON, April 27th.-The Senate
tomorrow will resume the consideration
of the land grant forfeiture bill, with the
expectation of coming to vote before
adjournment. After that the customs ad.
ministration bill will probably fill out the
remainder of the week. There is consider
able opposition on the Democratic side to
the measure, and Evarts has an amend
ment to propose.
The silver blu will be taken up this
week if any time remains. The Republi-
can caucus of the Senate has agreed upop
the details of the silver bill, and ii is be.
lieved the measure will be prepared for
consideration by the Senate by the time
that body is ready to entertain 1t.
The failure of the House to pass the leg
islative appropriation bill Saturday leaves
1t 10 come up tomorrow as unfinished
business. The previous question has been
ordered. At present the intention is to
press the silver bill, and it will probably
be called up on resolution to be reported
by the Committee on Rules, allowing two
days for discussion. The Pension Com.
mittee is to be given bill and the Com
mittee on Public Buildings is to have the
same privilege, in order to dispose of bills
reported.
The diplomatic appropriation bill will
probably be passed without DISCUSSION.
No time has yet been allotted the river
and harbor bill, but as large number of
the members desire the measure passed be-
fore the tariff bill comes up. they may be
able to have it considered during the week.

Domino Whist.

Do you ever play domino whist? 1t is
the latest game of cards extant, and is
rapidly supersediDg poker, hearts and
other games involving a minimum of
science with a maximum of luck in the
home circle and quiet, decorous social
gatherings -Four people play the game,
and one who is familiar with the technical
names of cards informs US that the person
who sits at the left of the dealer--what-
ever that is-begins by playing what is
called a seven-spot of some suit-spaGes,
hearts, clubs or diamonds. If the PLAYER
cannot show up a seven-spot he is elected
to put check in the pot. though our in
formant says nickel, dime or two-bit
piece is just as good as check and costs
more. Then the next person takes up the
game and plays seven-spot-if he can
and after seven-spot is placed on the
table the other cards In sequence are
placed, eight-spots are placed on the right
and six-spots on the left of the seven-spot.
Every time person cannot play card
on one of the four piles in the ceuter of
the table, down goes check to the bottom
of the pot When some one plays his last
card the game is at an end, and he takes a
check for each card held by the other
three players when the game ceased.

He had Republican tickets in his pos
session. and when he went to han6 them
out at the polling-places Dansby came up
ana began to curse, and snatching the bun
die swore that no ticket would be voted
that day that was not Democratic.
Witness was afraid of Dansby, who had
threatened his life. A friend had told him
that Dansby said the day before that if
Monk" Williams was at the election ne
would 60 away a dead negro. Dansby
went off about noon after some guns and
was seen to return later.
Dansby was seen by witness in the act of
lntlmidatlng other voters, but SO far as he
knew no one else made any trouble during
the day. Nobody interfered with Dansby.
and the Judges appeared to tolerate his
conduct.
On cross-examination, witness admitted
having received a circular from the Repub.
lican Committee, offering reward for tes-
tlmony OF interference at elections. He
had received $3.50 on that account.

INDIANAPOLIS (Ind.). April 27th.-A
strange malady has made its appearance at
Munice, sixty miles east of this city, in the
center of the gas belt. So far there has not
been any fatal termination Of any of the
cases, although one, James Burgess, is in q
critical condition. He was stricken down
while walking along the road in the SUBJ
urbs, and lay unattended for over an hour
before he was discovered and taken home.
Many of those first attacked continue very
i'll, while others are convalesciDg
The physicians seem nonpluseed in de.
termining the causes of the attack. Some
Of them think that the trouble comes from
diseased meat or the peculiar acids that
sometimes accrue from canned fruits and
vegetables. The other physicians pronounce
1t 10 mona, the dreaded and now prevailing
epidemic In Italy and Germany.
At the leading hotel twenty of the guests
have been stricken, while the other victims
are scattered all over the city. All the VIC
Tins were seized with terrible gripping pains
in the stomsch, attended with severe and
nauseating sickness in and about the chest.
The attacks continue severely at intervals
for several hours.

ST. JOSEPH (Mo.). April 27th.-Mrs.
Charles Thomas is the widow of mer-
chant who left her considerable property.
She is young, and one of the prettiest
women in the city, and moves in the very
best society. Her husband has been dead
year, and she can count her admirers by
the scOe. William NJ. Bushey was one of
them, but she repudiated his advances.
He then began circulating stories regarding
her which reflected seriously upon her
character. She warned him to desist, but
he did not, and shortly after noon to- day
she, accompanied by her brother, accosted
Bushey on South Ninth street.
She demanded the retraction of what he
had said, but he refused, and thereupon she
drew rawhide, and as her brother held
him, showered blow sitter blow upon him.
Then her brother took Bushey's coat from
his back and Mrs. Thomas continued the
chastisement until the blood was streaming
through his shirt. They then left and the
victim went to a physicians and afterward
to the Prosecuting Attorney, where war
rants charging Mrs. Thomas and her
brother with assault and battery were
sworn out.
Over two hundred people witnessed the

Thomas maintains her own establishment.

HIS FIRST VETO.
President Harrison Opposes the Ogden
Taxation Bill.

Taxation Bill.
WASHINGTON. April 27th.-The President
has vetoed the bill to authorize the city of
Ogden, U. T., to assume increased indebted.
ness. This is President Harrison's first
veto In his message the President says:
The general law fixes limit of per cent on
the last assessment for taxation as the limit of
Indebtedness which municipal corporations in
Territories may assume. This bill extends the
limit as to Ogden to per cent. The purposes
are not peculiar or exceptional. They relate to
schools, street Improvements, ETC., and are COM
mon to every prosperous town. If the argument
by which the measure is supported is adopted,
the conclusion should be the repeal or modifi.
cation of the general law, but in my opinion the
limitation imposed by law is wise and whole
some and should not be relaxed.
The city now has the power to increase the
Indebtedness $50, 600, which would seem enough
to make good beginning in the construction of
sewers while the cost of street Improvements is
usually met by direct assessments. Almost all
States have limited the power of municipal cor.
porations to incur Indebtedness, and the limit
is generally lower than that fixed in the Terri.

Free Coinage.

WASHINGTON, April 27th.-Judging from
expressions of the extreme silver men after
the Republican Senatorial caucus yester-
day. there is weakening all along the
line. The confident expressions of a week
ago are no longer heard, and the demand
for free coinage or nothing, SO often ex-
pressed early in the session, is soft and
low.
The manner in which Senator Jones of
Nevada was out-generaled by single

ing effect.
