and driven back upon their reservation.
Lately the general had been interesting
himself in behalf of the Arizona Indians
who are suffering and dying in
Florida, whittier they were taken
some years ago and where they are
held as prisoners. He wanted them
taken to the mountains where life would
not be a burden to them, and where they
could pass the remainder of their days in
an atmosphere and among surroundings
not wholly unpleasant to them.
During the civil war General CROOK was
counted among the bravest, wisest and
truest of soldiers. Beginning as colonel
of volunteers in 1861, he was successfully
promoted, in 1865 being brevetted major
general, being in command of the army OF
the Potomac at the close of the war.
General CROOK was 81 years of age last
September, having been born at Dayton,
Ohio, September S, 1928. He graduated at
West Point in 1852, and has since been con-

THE EIGHT-HOUR DAY.

The workingmen Of New York, and per-
haps of other cities, have determined that
on May 1st next an effort shall be made to
enforce the eight hour law. They are well
organized, and say they are better prepared
to make fight than ever before. If en-
ployers and contractors shall resist, the
contest will be long and bitter. The sue
cess of the movement in New York means
the spread of the eight hour rule through
out the United States, and the failure of
the laborers in the city named will mean
failure everywhere, except in isolated
cases where temporary victories may be
achieved.
THE HERALD believes that in time the
eight-hour rule will be general throughout
the country; we believe this because we
think that man ought not to labor more
than eight hours out of the twenty-four.
The arrangement of the time that will
leave him eight hours for work, eight for
sleep and eight for the improvement and
recreation of the mind and body, will
make of the worker better man
physically and intellectually; will
make his home brighter and
better one, and he and his family will be
better citizens. The man who tolls ten
hours, if he does faithful work, has neither
time nor inclination for those things which
improve the mind and body and make life
the pleasurable existence that it should be-
He is slave, and soon begins to feel that
life is more or less drudge, the inconven-
fences and annoyances being greatly in ex-
cess of the pleasures.
But whether or not the eight-hour sys-
TEN can be inaugurated on the plan pro.
posed by the workingmen remains to be
seen. The laborers insist upon receiving
the same pay they are now getting for the
ten-hour day. Nobody will contend that a
man can do as much work in eight hours as
in ten. If present wages are what they
should be, if the laborer receives fair pay
for what he does, the adoption of the eight
hour day must be accompanied by CORES
ponding reduction of wages. If labor and
the pay for it are now on an equitable
basis, employers cannot afford to pay the
same wages for eight hours work. This
proposition is clear enough. To demand
present wages for an eight-houi
day is equivalent to saying that EN-
ployers have been paying theil
men 20 per cent. less than they should have
paid, and yielding to the eight hour de
mand with equal pay will be confession
of past injustice to the workers.
Contractors and employers are lookin.
forward to May l with more or less appre-
hension. They dread the struggle, thu
outcome of which is fraught with so mucf
meaning to the laborers as well as to tn,
industries of the country. The working
mems triumph will be attended by read
iustment of prices, either of labor or of it
products, and in any event something of
disturbance in building and other indus
tries is almost certain to come.

GENERAL GEORGE CROOK.

Soldiers and civilians throughout this
broad land will read in sorrow and grief
this morning the news of the death of
General GEORGE CROOK, for he was man
respected and honored in and out of the
army. He was best known and achieved
his greatest fame as an Indian fighter,
most Of his many years as a soldier having
been passed on the plains and in the noun
tains of the west. He dealt..with Indians in
many of the states and territories, his latest
service among the red men being in Arizona
the early part of the late decade, where
he was sent to put stop to the depreda-
lions by GERONIMO and his desperate fol-
lowers. While the general was a soldier
and a fighter, he was always humane and
and considerable, and as a result the Indians
held him in both fear and esteem. He knew
nothing of vindictiveness, and was never
Rctuated by spirit of revenge; his word
was ever held sacred, the Indians always
knowing that they could place implicit
confidence in what he said. The esteem in
which he was held by the Indians was illus
trated last year when he was sent as a COM
missioner to the Sioux to induce them to
sign the agreement to sell portion of their
reservation to the government. Two COM
missions had failed to convince the Sioux
that they should sell, but when General
Crook went among them and told them
that it would be better to accept the terms
offered by government, the Sioux, in def
ance of their chiefs who were disposed to
trouble, signed the agreement; and these
were the same Indians that a few years be-
fore CRooK had whipped into subsection

IrMAY be true that while there is life I'll,

TMAY be true that while there is life there
is hope, but in the case of KREMMLER, the
New York murderer, that hope has been
spun down to the finest possible thread
KREMMLER was sentenced to be executed by
electricity, under the law passed year or
two ago. He objected to the proposed plan
of his taking off. and denied the constitu-
tionality of the law. The case has been
carried from one court to another and in
each was fought with ability and earnest
ness. Finally it reached the tribunal of
last resort, the court of appeals, which has
affirmed the validity of the law. The case
will now travel back to the trial court,
going more swiftly than it went forward,
and in little while the world will know
whether or not electricity is success as a
means of executing criminals. 1t seems to
be all right in taking off those who come in
contact with the charged wires, and unless
the sheriff shall insist upon having things
go wrong, electricity should work well of
ficially.

humorous. If there Is a city that can get

THE statement by Civil Engineer
Wagner of San Francisco as to the
causes of the Arizona dam burst lays
the entire responsibility of that aw-
full destruction upon the contractors
who knowingly violated stipulations
aud specifications, and upon the COM
pany, who when informed of the
facts refused to discharge the resi-
dent engineer and the contractors as
recommended by Wagner. These
facts were stated one year ago in a
lecture by Wagner before the engin-
eering society at Phoenix, Ariz., and
the prediction made that disast ter
would follow. The Walnut Grove
company are placed on the defensive
by this charge and must clear them

From the New York Ledger.
Practical men look upon Missionaries
with pity and cen tempt; and yet the
dreamers of rose- colored dreams are
the happiest people the world con-
tains. Among all the inventors and
discoveries on earth, there is none so
fortunate as he who can fashion out
of the air an elysium of his own, be-
lieve in it, and live in it. Hard COM
mon sense may sheer at him; but if it
cannot dislodge him from his castle
in the clouds the visionary has the
best of it.
1t is a great thing to be philoso-
pher-to endure calmly the evils of
life and 10 rate it's ephemeral delights
at their true value; but he whose
Imagination creates for him para
disc, who floats about, like the water
spider inclosed in a crystalline bubble
of his own manufacture, he is a hap
pier man than the philosopher.
Beyond all doubt, there are individ-
uals whom the world calls mad, much
more to be envied than the most prac-
tical of the species. Indeed it Is pos
sible to be too practical-toO matter Of
fact. Reason, when be plays Argus,
and keeps all his hundred eyes con-
tnually open, is disagreeable GUS
toner. He sees too much and yet too
little. He can tell us that a rain bow
is mere sunshine and water; but the
grand problem of human existence
and the ultimate destiny of humanity
he could never have solved without
the aid of inspiration.
Imagination, on the other hand,
recognizes the beauty Of this world,
and can understand Inspirations
pictures of the world to come. Upon
the whole, 1T is better to be somewhat
of visionary than wholly under the
guidance of cold, calculating reason.

the men and women merely players"
