THE EIGHr-HoUR PROBLEM

tbs particularly unfortunate that the
Chicago carpenters should have precipi-
tated strike, and have given fresh
impetus to the agitation of the eight
hour question just at this time. In
many departments of industry the brisk
season is now about opening, and
large number of workingmen who have
been practically idle for several months
have chance to obtain work at fairly
remuneratiye wages. This is particu-
larly true in lines pertaining to building
interests. and to push this question now
means depression of business, and
among the chief sufferers will be the
employees themselves. In saying this
we are not making an argument against
the eight-hour day, but only allude to
the righteousness of agitating the
question at this time. 1t is probable
that the eight-hour proposition will
be finally adopted, but it will
grow gradually, and should come with
out disturbance of business interests.
When two men so wide apart as Mr..
PowDEELY and HORACE WADLIN come
to an agreement as to the benefit of the
eigbt-hOur day, the indications are that
the difiicultyin reaching the final result
has been very much reduced. During
TIE slack season, when so many of the
W0rkin0fDfD are out Of employment. is
TIE best time for discussion of this

The Day of Reckoning Near.

Utica Observer.
People are wont to associate dignity
with fairness, but the speeches so far
made in the senate in the Montana con-
troversy do not indicate that its dignity
will deter the Republican majority of
that body from committing the gross
outrage of seating the two Republican
contestants. But above the senate, and
above even the supreme court of the
United States, the American love OF
fair play always asserts itself when the
time comes. The Fifty-frst congress
may proceed in its attempt to revive
the waning strength of its party by ex-
traordinary and indefensible means,
but there will be an end to all this.
Even while the Montana case is under
discussion and the house is organizing
fresh outrages upon the political party
which is honestly in the majority in this
country. news comes from almost every
where to the effect that Democratic
gains in local elections are unprece-
denied in uniformity. The day of
reckoning is drawing nigh.

President Harrison as a Nurse.

Ladies' Home Journl
From his birth, little Benjamin Mckee
has been the special object of his grand
parents love and care. His first word
was sup" ''up'' directed to his grand
father. meaning that he wanted to be
carried The little fellow grew into a
quiet despot, refusing to be comforted
or auieted by any other means. When
the family first entered the White house
last spring, the children suffered from
colds, contracted by reason of the poor
ventilation of the mansion. Often, at
night. in those trying times when the
presid ent was deeply concerned by the
affairs of state just committed to his care,
he paced the floor of his room, with
little Benjamin in his arms, soothing
him to quiet and sleep, when no one save
grandpa" could manage him with good
results.

In ADDITION to the monograph as a
feature of the postal system, Mexico
has added an insurance system. 1t is
not exactly government matter, al
though referred to in the message of
the president. 1t co-operates with the
postal department, but is sustained by
private capital. For a small per cent it
guarantees the safe carriage of valuable
letters and packages in the mails. If
Mr.. WANAMAKER wants to keep his
bureau in the lead for new devices, he
must not put in all his time getting up
new postage stamps.

party represented by MCKINLEY. The

{ oblivious to Public Opinion.

Utica observer.
The gerrymander bill is in line with
other plots to keep the Democratic party
out of power. 1t deserves comparison
with the reckless admission into the
Union of territories that are VIGOROUSLY
untitled for statehood, in order that the
Republican majority in the federal
senate may be increased. In move.
ments Of this kind, as we'll as in the.
preparation of their monstrous tariff
bill, the Republican leaders are con-
temptuously oblivious to public Opini
ion; but in good time they will realize
their mistake.

the reflection that he left no stone I'M

name of Judge l.. w. Collins, formerly
of st. Cloud, but now associate justice
of the supreme court of the state, as

Showing Old Hates as 1t FIickers

San Francisco Alta California.
While the Republican party is in pro-
cess Of decay it exhibits the signs and
symptoms which go with that sick
ness that Is in the flesh and the bone
and the marrow. The fancies of the
bedridden. the unaccountable Spites,
the foiling flicker of old hates, which
swell within like poison in a serpent's
gland. and lack only fang through
which to kill, are manifest in the organ
iZation as it losses on its hateful pillow,
and tries to keep awake lest dreams
should make terrible its sleep. Forget
full that it once had nobility of purpose
and action, it abandons its last days to
greeds and grudges. In place of head
and heart it has only hate and appetite.
AT least this describes its conditions if
its state is truthfully represented by the
press which clings to its fortunes, and
processes to represent its purposes.

Richmond Times.
Once upon time, after great deal
of thought and pains, man taught his
horse to eat nothing but shavings, by
placing green goggles over his eyes.
They were economical food, but as soon
as the horse had learned to eat them he
died. Republican managers are trying
to teach gradually their party to feed
entirely on protective tariff shavings.
The party may learn to do so, but its
already emaciated condition points to
a death similar to that of the tabled
horse. But perhaps the green goggles
may be smashed before starvation en-

President and Party in Bad Ways


Whether the Democratic victories in
indianapolis and Helena were intended
as personal rebukes to the president or
not, the Democratic gains III all the
West must be accepted as an evidence
of popular revulSion against tile pres
ent Republican policy. In some meas
ure the administration Is responsible
for that policy, and to that extent at
least must accept the recent Republican
reverseS at the polls as condemnation.
If President Harrison has any influence
with his party, the late elections
amount to very loud Gail for him to
lead it into courses more in accord with
popular sentiment. Its present ways
are not ways of pleasantness either to
the party or himself, and continuance
therein can only lead to increasing dis
satisfaction and disaster.
