Over Two Thousand Men Want a Nine
Hour Day with the Same Pay.
PITTsBURG, Aug. I2.-Two thousand FIVE
hundred machinists and skilled mechanics
have struck here for nine hours for a
q days labor with ten hours pay rate.
About 500 of the strikers are employed
by the Westinghouse Electric company
and the Westinghouse Machine company.
The remainder were employed at various
shops in Allegheny City and Pittsburr.
Several firms IN both cities have acceded
the demands and the strike viii probably
ne Of short duration. The strikers held an
enthusiastic meeting. Speeches were made
snd committees were appointed TO attend
10 the details Of the strike II is very likely
that the employees OF the Westinghouse
Airbrake company in Allegheny and Will
merding shops will strike. The men in
these shops are prepared to come ont at a
moments notice. The employees OF the
Union Switch and Signal company a.
Swissvale will also probably be called OUT.

The sun says: "The strike upon aAe New

end, and the Knights Of Labor have suf-
fersd the most crushing defeat Of their
history. The knights made appeals 10 the
brotherhood Of Locomotive Engineers, 10
the Firemen's Brotherhood. TO the Switch

Dir system and to kindred organizations,
begging them 70 come TO their support.
These appeals have been met with a de-

the New York Central was concerned.

The Brazilian Constitution.

The new constitution which has been
promulgated in Brazil Is not an instru-
ment already adopted by the people, but
one prepared to be submitted TO the Con-
stituiional Assembly, which the people
will elect. The formation OF the Consiiiu.
ton, Its adoption by the provisional goy-
eminent and promulgation to the country,
all show that the new order In Brazil is
not So much a popular movement as a
military revolution. The people will
probably acquiesce, but their acceptance
OF afundamental law Issuing from the
present government Is their acquiescepce
in an act Of the existing authority. The
Brazillans are not essentially a republican
or self-goyerning people, and II will he an
interesting study, that Of the adoption by
people wholly unused to free institutions
OF Constitution framed very closely
upon our own. The new instrument Is
said TO have been framed by the ablest
counsellors and students Of political
science In the country. who are alleged to
represent fairly the ability and experience
Of Brazil It is supposed that Il will be
adopted without delay or debate, as the
necessity Of legali2ing government Is
universally felt s M
The general summary Of the new
scheme Is given ms follows; Nv
"Parliamentariauism ceases. Brazil adopts
She American system, Of a responsible Ex.
scuiive' with secretaries responsible only
20 HIN and 70 the people. The Senator Of
Deputy who is cbesen Secretary loses
MS seat; The nrsi election Of the Presi- !
lent will be by Congress, but tbe Conshtu.

Republican State Convention.

The Republicans Of Ohio are requested
to meet in delegate convention in the city
Of Cleveland on Wednesday, July 10, 1891
To place In nomination candidates for III,
ollowing officers, namely:
Secretary of state.
Judges Of the Supreme court.
Member Of board of public works
The basis Of representation for delegates
is one CD for every five hundred 600,
votes cast for Governor J. B. Foraker in
November 1888, and one y for each frac-
tion thereof Of two hundred and fifty (250)
or over.
Lorain county is entitled 10 nine (O) del.
egates.
Delegates shall be elected in the several
counties Of the state In such manner MS
the county central committee may desig-
nate, at least three days before the hold.
Ing Of said convention, and ten days pub
lished notice shall be given Of the lime
and place for the selection OF such dele.
gates, except where otherwise provided
by law.
The enterprise. [volume] (Wellington, Ohio) 188?-1899, 1890-07-09

tion Establishes that this election subse-
quently shall be by means of electors.
The people select electors in proportion to
their delegation in Congress. Each State
has separate meeting of its electors on
the same day and at the same hour. If no
citizen shall obtain an absolute majority
of the Electoral College, then Congress
shall elect, choosing from three persons
who may have the largest number Of
votes. After this, in case no one is yet
elected, Congress shall again vote, drop
ping the third name and voting for the
two who have the largest number of votes,
so that the President elect shall have an
absolute majority of the votes cast The
President shall be elected for six years.
and shall be ineligible for the next ten
years succeeding his term of office. The
Secretaries OF State are ineligible for the
Presidency during their terms Of office.
The President of the Senate shall be Vice
President of the republic. In case of the alb
sence or death Of the President, his office
shall be filled by the Vice President, next
by the Speaker of the house of Represcn-
tatives, next by the Vice President of the
Senate and lastly by the President of the
Supreme Tribual of Justice"
This scheme shows both the good
faith Of the provisional authority and Its
confidence In the practicability of our
system for Brazil. Upon the acceptance
of fthe Constitution there will be sixty
three Senators elected for nine years, and
two hundred Representatives for three
years. There seems 10 be no reason TO ap-
prehend that the new system will not be
peacefully adopted and put into operation,
and II is fair 10 assume that the members
OF the provisional administration will be
largely continued under the Constitution.
The situation recalls that which has be-
come familiar In France, but without the
disorder TO which French political revo-
lutionists have accustomed US. Certainly
thus far the change In Brazil is unique in
history, and shows the willingness of the
country to accept the new order. 1t Is
one Of the most interesting of political ex-
periments, and will be watched with hope
and confdence.-Harper's Weekly.

CONGRESS has passed the disability
pension bill. The law provides for q
pension Of from 90 TO s19 month for all
honorably discharged soldiers or sailors Of
the Union army, who are unable, either
wholly or partially, to earn their OVID
support, the amount Of the pension being
fixed by the degree in which they are un-
able to work. The disability need not be
traced back to any service, but It must not
be the result Of the soldiers own vicious
habits. It also pensions all soldiers
widows, irrespective OF the cause Of death,
and all minor children up to the age Of
seventeen years.

A Republican form Of government is
to be adopted in Brazil. 1t is expected
that England will soon fail into line. 1t
is indeed quite high compliment paid
to the people of the United States when
representatives Of nations which have
been in existance for centuries visit us
and investigate our form Of government
with view Of adopting it. The past one
hundred and fourteen years have accom-
plished wonderful things In the United
