THE E1GaT-HonR DAY.

1t must be admitted that the 1st day
of May is being looked forward to in
Industrial circles with more or less
apprehension. That was the date fixed
by the labor congress at st. Louis two
years ago for putting the eight-hour
plan into operation. and the indications
are that the labor organizations through
out the country propose to make the
experiment. 1t is a singular fact that
but little attention has been paid to the
order OF the st. Louis congress, and con-
sequently but few industries are pre-
pared for the proposed change. The
essential readjustments have not been
made. and if the eight-hour order is en-
forced on the LIST of May it is likely to
produce serious confusion in almost
every industrial department.
There is no necessity for, nor is there
any probability of, violence anywhere.
hour day will be insisted upon every
where. Still, it will be done in many
communities, and that, too, in communi-
ties which are not prepared for it;
consequently. there is bound to be more
or less confusion or disturbance. Where
contractors and employers have had the
forethought to provide for the proposed
change there will be no interruption of
industries, and everything will move off
under the new industrial system like
cIoekWork.
But the trouble is that the men who
do the hiring have not made up their
minds in many instances to pay full
days wages for eight hours work, and
it is in these instances where trouble
will occur. Strikes must inevitably
follow, and strikes in depressed times,
suit in public calamity: Where there
are so many men already wanting work,
and comparatively so little work to do,
the situation will only be aggravated by
a cessation of all work. A summer
wasted in the squabble will be ollowed
by a winter of restitution and intense
suffering.
If there ever was time for the eX-
erciSe of wisdom and patience Oh the
part of the working classes, surely this
is the time. We have no argument to
present against the eight-hour day. On
the contrary, we are the advo-
Gates of all labor reforms that
are founded on sound morality
and educational principles. But we do
have some hesitation about precipitating
reform before the public is ready to
receive it or industrial conditions are
adjusted to its operation.
1t is true that it is not the fault of the
labor federation that so little attention
has been paid to their order proposing
to put the eight-hour day into enforce
ment on the 1st of May, 1890. The two
years. notice was given, but 1t has not
been respected. II is not necessary to
inquire into the reasons why it has not
been respected to ask the patient indul-
gence of the working people. ltisa condi-
ton, and not theory, which cOnfronts
them; and while it would be neither just
nor proper to ask for surrender or
abatement of the principle for which
they are contending, there is nothing
unreasonable in the suggestion that they
proceed cautiously, and do not insist
upon the immediate enforcement of the
order in localities where it is sure to de-
range business and produce suffering.
1t is better to wait and gain than to
haste and lose.

THE COMING PAVEMENT.

The pavement of the future in cities
IS one of the conundrums, not likely to
be fully settled for some time, at least.
Many of the smaller municipalities of
late seem to believe that they have
struck the solution in the use of brick.
Burlington, in Iowa, Topeka, Kan,
and some other cities have been eX-
perimenting, and with such satisfaction
that their main business streets are to
be paved with brick. Some of them
have stone in abundance and have eX-
perimented with wood, but are pushing
all other material out for the brick. 1t
is even stated with much positiveness
that no more cities that are well advised
will put wood in the streets. The eX
pense of the brick is claimed to be not
greater than the wood blocks. Ii it is
the fact that brick has such adj
vantage over wood as alleged,
1T is important to be known. The
brick is not like the ordinary
building brick. The samples used
on street or two in st. Paul are prob
ably not of the variety that have Sc
cured so much favor elsewhere. A
particular quality Of clay and special
processes, are requisite. 1t is burned so
hard that steel drill will break on it.
Years Of the heaviest travel on it show
no trace of wear, it is said. This is the
statement made by those adopting it.

SEVEN THOUSAND TO STRIKE.
Detroit Carpenters Demand the
Eight-HOur Day.


DETROIT, Mich, April 2S. = Unless
there is an unexpected change during
the next forty-eight hours, a general
strike of the carpenters and joinerS of
Detroit will occur next Thursday morn
ing. Seven hundred tradesmen at
tended meeting of Carpenters Union
No. 10 this evening, and COM
mittee was appointed to wait
ON the carpenters and builders
association. At o'clock the committee
from the carpenters union met with
representatives of the carpenters and
builders association. The carpenters
informed the bosses that the unions
comprising the district council were
unanimous in the demand for an eight
hour day at 80 cents an hour and recog-
milton of the union, and that nothing
short of the terms proposed would be
accepted. This proposition was dis
cussed quietly and in good temper
for more than an hour. The re-
suit was proposition made
by the association to the carpenters
union, which embodied the following;
To make eight hours days work, COM
mencing July l, 1890, paying the same
rate per hour as at present, providing
that all the carpenters IN the city and
those competing with us for special
house finishing will also make eight
hours a day. otherwise we shall insist
on nine hours. When the committee
returned to the carpenters meeting the
proposition was promptly rejected.

A TEST lASE.

A case of some interest to those who
GO about the waters is being tried at
Chicago. The friends of sailor who
was lost overheard from schooner in
squat want the captain to pay for the
loss, for the reason that he would not
allow rescuers to go out to attempt to
save the man. His theory was that the
man could not be saved. and he forbade
those who thought otherwise from put
ting out the boat. The evidence was
strongly against him. and the suppose
ton seems a good one that he did not
regard the saving of life as compensa-
ton for the delay and annoyance of the
effort. The case is not an Isolated one.
1t is not uncommon that parties Oh the
water refuse to incur danger, or even
serious inconvenience, to save life,
especially of a cheap employee. 1t is an

BEWARE!

Having abandoned all hope of elect

lican machine bosses have now con-
coeted scheme to capture the city
council.
Their method for working this scheme
is explained in another column. We
simply wish to put our Democratic
friends on their guard, SO as not to be
betrayed into helping the opposition
bosses out of the hole in which they
find themselves.
We want no mongrel council. Let
1t be clean-cut one way or the other.
There isn't an aldermanic candidate
on the Democratic ticket who is not
worthy of the undivided support of his
party friends.
Vote the Democratic ticket.
And vote it straight.

will feel grateful for the pungent criti-

REGISTER: REGISTER!

To-day will be the lastopportunlty for
registering.
The city election will occur next Tues
day, and unless your name is placed on
the registry list to-day you will be a
disqualified elector next Tuesday.
The registration books will be open at
each polling precinct the entire after
noon, from 12 o'clock till q.
In view of all that has been said in
these columns with reference to the
duty of registering, the GLOBE hesitates
TO further impress this duty upon an
intelligent community. But, for some
unaccountable reason, there is an evil
dent lack of interest, or perhaps, lack
of appreciation of the dignities and du-
ties OF citizenship, on the part of large
class of our people. Two registration
days have passed by, and yet fully one
fourth of the voters in this city have
failed to register. There is mistaken
idea with a great many people that
municipal affairs are of so small con-
concern as not to be worth the trouble
of looking after them on election day.
On the contrary, they are of the SUI
premest moment to the nOn-property
holder, as we'll as to the property
holder. Every citizen, whatever his
condition, whether humble or exalted,
is interested in good municipal govern
ment. 1t not only means protection to
property, but it means security to lie,
the preservation of peace and the en-
forcement of orderly conduct. There
should be deeper personal interest
felt in municipal affairs than in matters
pertaining to the state or to the nation,
because they appeal directly to home
interests, and more nearly concern the
individualism of the citizen.
Hence we hold that it is duty the
voter owes to himself and to his family,
no less than to the public, opartlcipate
in municipal election. The fact
that the law makes registering
prerequisite to voting necessitates at
tention to the former, and thus classes
it among the highest requirements of
citizenship.
The voter who fails to register, and
thus qualify himself as an elector, is
false to personal duty and unmindful of
a public trust. Therefore, the GLOBE
cannot be blamed for repeating its de-
mand upon the voters to go up and reg
lister.
Remember that this is the last day.
The books will be open from noon
till o'clock.

TO REaT NATURE.

The trust and extortionate prices of
the ice dealers in Chicago have led to
the construction of three large ice-mak-
ing factories there, and it is claimed
that the processes have been so. per-
fected that they will scoop nature aud
bring to grief the eXtortiOners. The
manufacture of ice is no new thing, but
it has not been much known in regions
where the winters are so reliable for
this service as in Chicago. Ii the state
ments in the matter are accurate, there
will be little occasion for the hard freeZ-
ing winters anywhere. These Chicago
factories are to turn out 1875 tons per
day, and can easily add indefinitely to
the production. The surprising part of
the statement is that the cost is only 81
a ton for ice turned out in block just the
size wanted and frozen from pure dis
titled water. All wastage, cost of haul
ing and room for large storage are
save1.- This will make ice plenty and
cheap, but the scientists say that Ice
water is the main cause of Bright'S
disease. So it goes.

A COMPARISON.

What remorseful organ the Pioneer
Press must be. 1t had scarcely vomited
I'D KIEFER when it began to show signs
of regret and disposition to get him
back into its nav. And the amusing
part of it was that KIEFER had scarcely
been landed on the shore of Pioneer
Press viudictiveness until he began to
crawl back toward the pit from which
he had been elected, beseeching for re-
admission into the whales belly.
And so it has been agreed upon be-
tween the whale and its Jonah that a
certificate of character should be
patched up for the Republican candi-'
date, and upon the strength of this I'M
provised indenture the party organ
shall once more resume its place under
the KIEFER flag, with the possibility of
another treacherouS s0mersault OF two
before election day.
Fortunately for the Democracy, they
have a candidate for mayor-and candi-
dates for all the other city offices whose
characters do not have to be inquired
into by all improvised commission.
The records of the Democratic candi-
dates are written in the history of ST..
Paul, including the whole period of the
city's wondrOuS growth and develop
blazoned forth in letters of light, are
the words HONESTY and FIDELITY.
The last fifteen years. administration of
our municipal affairs is the proof of
the capacity of the Democratic candi-
dates.
In consideration of these facts we ap-
peal to the sober-sense and the enlight-
ened conscience of the voting popula-
ton of this city to say which ticket is
most worthy of popular support.
The GLOBE has done no mud sling
ing in this campaign. 1t is not to our
taste; and If it were, there would be no
necessity for it. The Republican papers,
with the Pioneer Press in the lead, have
besmirched the Republican candidates
with skill and effect that we could not
aspire to. We are content to let the Re-
publican voters listen to what their
party organs are saying of their own
candidates as the best evidence of the
unfitneSs of those candidates for public
office.
But it IS with an unusual degree of
pride and satisfaction the GLOBE points
to the honorable records of the DEM
ocratc candidates in comparison with
the shady tinge that has been given to
the opposition ticket by the opposition
organs.
We have confidence enough in the
purity of local public sentiment to feel
assured that on election day the choice
will be in favor of the ticket that is
spOtleSS.

THE NEW YORK METHOD.

The Republicans in the New York
legislature voted down the ballot reform
bill their representatives had agreed
upon with Gov. HILL; but this left their
bad faith too bald, and the measure
was finally recalled and passed. The
process provided by it secures the i'm
portant feature of the reform-the Sc
crecy. There is no way to tell how the
voter casts his ballot. so that it would
be unsafe to bribe him. In place of the
official ballot comprising all the names
of candidates. requiring the voter to
check each name, there is an official
ballot for each party that presents set
of candidates, or part Of a set, and the
voter can select the one he wants. He
can also take into the booth paster
and put it over any or all the names, as
he sees fit. But. if there is no way of
discovering how the vote is cast, the de-
tails as to method and prepar alton are
of little consequence.

GoMPERs' FINAL TIP.
Carpenters Urged to stand as One
for the Eight-Hour Day.

NEW YORK, April 2s.-The general
executive board of the American Fedora
ton of Labor held a protracted executive
session this afternoon and tonight
issued manifesto signed by President
Gompers. After denouneing all who'd
not yield to his views as enemies of
this work, Mr.. Gompers closes thus:
1.-The executive councilof the American
Federation of Labor having selected.
the United Brotherhood OF Carpenters
and Joiners of America to make the de-
mand for the enforcement of the.
eight-hour work day, [ ask you
to refrain from any sympa-
thetic strikes. Rather remain at
YOUR work and aid the carpenters and
joiners to win in the contest. 70 the
carpenters and joiners, my advice is to
demand and insist upon the enforce
ment of the eight-hour work day. 1t is
not matter of theory. 1t is positive
fact that that the question of wages
and conditions will regulate itself, and
