WASHINGTON, May I'm the house
to-day Mr.. Reilly, of Pennsylvania. Of
fered a resolution reciting the eight
hour law of June, 1868, declaring that
the mechanics. workmen and laborers
composing, as they do, the great bulk OF
our patriotic citizens, are on this. the
first day of May, 1890, agitating and de-
manding that hencefOrth eight hours
shall constitute legal days work, "and
resolving" that it is the sense of this
house that this demand is reasonable
and just, and that it is our belief that
the Inauguration of said system of eight
hours for days work would be con-
ducive to the public veal and calculated
to advance the industrial, commercial
and moral welfare Of the people. Re-

PARADED AND DISPERSED.
Wolverine Strikers Hope for a
speedy Settlement.

DETROIT, May 1.-THE labor day agi
tation passed off quietly here, notwtI-
standing the fact that 1000 carpenters
are out. No disorders have occurred,
and both sides are hopeful of a
speedy settlement OF the diff
entity. The strikers paraded the
principal streets this afternoon
and afterwards dispersed quietly. 1t
is not thought the Trouble will extend
TO any of the other trades. A member
of the strike committee this evening
said: 1--WE have taken in 100 new mem
bers to-day, and a large number of
hesses have signed the agreement.
Everything looks bright for us, and the
whole thing may be settled within the
next forty-eight hours"

Boston is sometimes called the "hub

tebral column. mo wonder Uncle Sam

Ifthese are appropriate appellations,
then we may rightly call the Mississippi
valley the axis of North America. In
