Among the minor incidents


Among the minor incidents
of the recent political campaign
was the defeat of prohibition in
Nebraska. This cannot be ascrib-
ed to the strength Of the argu-
ments of the license party, because
these were mainly remarkable for
their lack of strength. A super
abundance of unwholesome cranki-
ness seems to have done the bust
ness for the cause of prohibition,
which ia now under cloud

TEMPERANCE AND THE SHORT
WORK DAY.

In reply to some inquiries addressed
by Samuel OOmpers to Jonn Burns, con-
corning the effect of the reduction of the
hours of labor upon the morals and
habits of the English working people,
the following suggestive letter was re-
ceived from the well-known socialist
leader of the Dockers strike
Dear Sir-The Chancellor of the EN-
Chequer did not say that the increase in
wages and reduction of hours Of labor
of the dock laborers Of London had
merely tended to increase their drum
kenness and largely contributed to an
increase in the Treasury from the liquor
traffic. His statement was that the in
crease Of two millions was due to the
fact that the people had been toasting
the prosperity of trade in the country.
He had no reference to any class; but
did say that there had been great in
crease in the duty from rum.
attended meeting last night of six
thousand dock labOrers. and asked those
who ought to know what was the effect
of higher wages and better conditions,
and the universal opinion was that the
workers of London who have received
better pay are more sober than ever they
were. As an abstainer myself am de.
lighted at the conduct Of the dockers
and more than pleased at the dlmInution
not only of drinking, but Of betting
among them, due in no small measure
to the fact that their leaders, Messrs.
Mann, Tillett and others, are temperance
| men.
The greatest enemies have in London
are the betting men and pubIicans
Their enmity is testimony to this fact
Workmen's advocate. (New Haven, Conn.) 1883-1891, 1890-08-16

that as we ask for reduction of hours for
more leisure and education we urge the
men to spend their higher wages in
home comforts. In twenty years the
amount spent on liquor per head Of po-
pulation has decreased twenty per cent,
while the aggregate has increased
through growth of population.
In England, as elsewhere, the short
hours movement has always tended to
sebriety and increased the intelligence
of the workers. In my own trade, twelve
or fourteen years ago, secretaries OF
unions were bribed to transfer the meet
ing place from the "Pig and Whistle" to
the Drown Bear 30 that the publican
might have the profit from drink con
sumed. SO great has been the change
that the proprietor Of the "Brown Bear
will almost give you $50 to take the
meeting away, as the drink consumed
does not pay him to have the meeting
there.
At boat races, bean feasts, holiday
gatherings, etc, the change in the
drinking habits is most marked. Side by
side with the demand for the shorter
hours is also the demand for free librar'
| les parks and opened spaces, gymnasla,
cricket and foot ball grounds. Leisure
to-day does not mean drinking, but the
opportunities for thought, education
and true thrift, which is impossible to
men whose long hours make them ami
mails and content with brutal eXis-
tenCe.
The rich man who drinks does SO be-
cause he has nothing better to do This
means that the poor man who provides
him with the means for drinking has to
work longer hours than he should, and,
as consequence, often breaks the mono
tony ol his toll by bouts Of drinking, the
cause of which the eight hour advocates
are going to remove by equalizing the
labor of both. Thus the lazy men will
have something to take an interest in,
while the previously overwOrked slave
will have leisure, without which man
hood and its best characteristics are
impossible.
Yours truly,
JOHN BURNS.

Meteorology in Schools.

The attention of teachers of schools
is respectfully invited to the benefits to
be derived from systematic observations
of meteorological instruments. particu-
larly the self registering thermometers
and rain and snow gauges, as being the
most practical and most easily under
stood. The attention which the subject
is receiving from the agricultural and
commercial interests indicates ITS prac
teal utility.
A very successful training in some of
the methods of physical science may
be derived at trihing expense of money,
time and trouble. from the practice of
making regular and precise observa-
tons; and if these observations are
made under the guidance and super
vision of principals or teachers, still
further interest and value will be given
the exercise.
The habits formed by observation of
the phenomena of nature and the awak-
ening of the spirit of investigation. and
the recording, Systematically, of is
facts, all tend to commend the subject
to the favorable attention Of the educa-
tors of the state. The relation which
the study bears to physical geography
is such as to create an actual knowledge
Of the data from which are deduced the
laws governing climate conditions,
The limits Of the work need not stop
at observations upon meteorological
conditions, but can be extended to re-
cording the flight of birds (migaiory) /;
the appearance of insect and vegetable
| fe; the leafing Of the trees; the bloom
ing Of the flowers. with notes upon their
progressive development and disappear
ance, together with other like phenom-
ena, making a record that csn be con-
tinually referred TO with increased in
terest and profit, by not only the pupils,
but the community, and forming habits
which will 90 out with them into life.
AS an encouragement of this work,
the director of the Wisconsin weather
and crop service, acting in cooperation
with the National weather bureau. will
furnish the applicants blanks for the
registration of observations. and will
gladly receive and collate for publica-
ton, all carefully made records, thus
making the school weather reports a
part of the general system of meteor
illogical work of the state and country.
