This morning Mr.. Thomas S. Den.
ham, president Of the Federation Of
Labor Unions of the District Of Co
lumhia, waited upon President Harri.
son, and presented to him memorial
in which the Federation charges that
the eight.hour law is being violated in
the Government Printing ONCE, as
charged 10y TuE Cmrtc, and also in the
Government Insane Asylum, all post.
Offices, aud in the uavy-yards, arsenals,
naval academies, IN work on public
buildings-everywhere, In short.
The Federation then states It's opinion
Of the principle upon which the eight.
hour law was enacted, and prays the
President to issue an executive order
TO contain eight points, the two priucl-
pal ones suggested being
]. That no officer Of the Government
shall compel or permit employees to
work more than eight hours per day,
except In cases Of urgent necessity TO
save life or public property.
.. That public work shall not be done
by contract when II can be done other
wise
That the first point demanded by the
memorialisls should be granted follows
the assertion that the eight.hour law
should be enforced
That the contract system, as man
aged by the Government is iniquitous.
no one can doubt who has studied the
subject and has observed the operations
Of that system; but Il IS our under
standing that this system IS the creation
Of law and cannot be reached by an ex-
ecutiye order.

REPUBLIcAN TEsTIMoNY

Hon. II. ID. Coleman, representing
the Second District of Louisiana in Con-
gress, has recently talked 10 the Wash
ington correspondent Of the New York
EteHiag Post with reference 10 the pro-
posed Federal election laws. Like all
Southern men, whether Democratic or
Republican, who are both intelligent
and truthful, Mr.. Coleman views with
alarm any effort 10 restore the political
conditions and practices Of the recon
stTuction era. He says
The only effect Of such legislation is
likely 10 he 70 solidify the parties on their
present lines. The moment you set the
echoes Of the reconstruction era ringing
again, you restore the old diYisiou-the
Democratic party an white, the Republican
party an Colored. That's not what We
waut IN the south now. Our permanent
prosperity depends GA our having such a
condition OF things iu politics that every
citizen shall vote as be pleases, aud the
color Of a mans skin won't give you any
hint which party he belongs 10. When
that time comes YOu won't ueed Federal
laws 20 protect your ballot; it win protect

Mr. Coleman IS Republican by
conviction He is a Iouisianian By
birth, was a soldier throughout the war
IN the Confederate Army ana although
Republican ia political feeling Is, be-
fore all else. a L0uisianiau and a eau
casian. He belongs 10 the very class from
which the Republican party al the

HOw IT WAS DONE.


Printer" Explains How the Eight
Hour-Law was set Aside.
Editor critic! In winding up your
editorial entitled Eight hour and Leave
ofabsence Laws Nunifed' You say:
And the eloquent McComas Of Mary
land IS dumb, and Columbia Typo
graphical Union makes no sign. OF
course Mr.. McComas Is dumb; he is a
Republican, and it is not to his interest
TO say a word when the members Of his
party are quietly filing their pockets
by working more than eight hours q
day. As TO Columbia typographical
Union making no sign, let me say that
The members Of the Union employed in
the Government Printing Office are
completely at the mercy of few tyrants
that have been placed over them by
Public Printer Palmer.
When Hon. Thomas +. Benedict was
Public Printer the eighthou law was
put in force aud leave of absence was
carried out, as the law required. Last
December the foreman Of the ''speuili-
cation room" who was also president
Of Columbia Typographical Union,
called q special meeting without notify
ing al the members, and had the eight
hour rule suspended. OF course, there
was a row when a majority Of the mem
hers found out what had been done
During the month Of March a special
meeting Of the union was called for the
purpose Of enforcing the eighthour law
in the G. Z. o. When the hour for the
meeting arrived there was a majority in
favor Of eight hours present, but the
president Of the union refused TO recog-
nize them and adjourned the meeting.
Since then efforts have been made TO
have the matter brought up at regular
meetings, but no member will be recog-
nized who does not wear the collar Of
the foreman Of the specification

Union makes no sign"

STILL OuARRELING

Lord Salisbury and Explorer Stan
ley are still Quarreling over the situation
In Africa Stanley seems to think that
The British foreign policy is losing its
fine old nervous energy, and Salisbury,
though he is too polite to say so, doubt
less thinks that Stanley had better mind
his own business. 1t seems a suitable
time to state. however. that Stan.
ley's appetite for looting must be
ravenous indeed If the British
style leaves him unsatisfed. A
perusal of Englaud's exploits
in Africa and Asia during the past fifty
years or so, will convince the average
citizen that as an annexer Of other
peoples property and an exterminator
of the rightful owners Of that property,
she has nothing to learn from Kidd or
Lafitte, or any other pirate in history.
Just where Stanley discovers the feeble
ness in either the stomach or the good
right arm Of Great Britain we should
like TO know II has not thus far been
visible 10 the rest of the world, least Of
all TO the various small and remote
countries in the absorption Of which
she has been engaged The more one
ponders on this very odd controversy,
the more difficult II becomes to escape
the conclusion that Stanley has wan
1ered into the wrong century.

WHAT A PITY.

A serious question arises anent the

Ink Singer This fellow has been

pose, and thus infllctlng great distress
and pecuniary injury on his victims.
Now that he IS caught. what is 10 be
done with himy The penalties provided
for malicious mischief are not at an ad-
equate 10 such an offense, and Il Is
iRtolerable that such a malignant ruff
nan should escape. What pity that
New York cannot take leaf out Of the
small but practical book of Delawareg
There are rasealities other than wife
heating for which the whipping post is
the only suitable treatment.

A FAIR SAMPLE

Last weeks edition of Fianb Les.
lies Illustrated paper contained a re-
markable editorial on the Turpin- Nc
Dufie contest in the Fourth Alabama
district There had been one previously
on the same subject. in which it was
charged that MI. Turpin's election had
been achieved by violence and fraud.
and that murder and intimidation played
almost rs prominent a part as vot-
ing. Somebody in Selma, Ala,
wrote to the editor protesting acainst
charges so injurious, and last week s
editorial was in reply to the pro-
test. The editor prefaced his re-
marks by saying that Frdak Leslie was
not in the habit Of making unsupported
statements, and then proceeded to de.
scribe at great length, and with fine use
Of detail, a fight which occurred at one
Of the polling places in the district. In
the course Of this fight white man was
knocked down by some negroes, so the
editor says. and he feloniously re-
sented this treatment by drawing his
revolver and shooting into the crowd.
wounding one Of his assailauts.
Feeling, no doubt, that this narrative
was rather tame and inadequate
specification for his general and sweep.
ing charge Of assassination aud blood
shed, the editor went on to say that, In
a general way, there had been other in.
stances Of outrage against the colored
voters, and that Turpin evidently ought
to be unseated Altogether Il was
about as powerful and convincing an
effort as the circumstances permitted,
and it must have raised Fjuak Lcslie's
high In the esteem Of the shriekers.
