WASHINGTON, d. c. - The splendor

Margaret Isabella Blaine, oldest daughter
of the secretary of state to Walter Dam
rosch. of New ! ork, has few equals IN
Washington society. The ceremony took
place at Sec. BIaine's residence, and was
as private as possible. The gifts are
valued at thousands of dollars.
The indications now lead to the belief
that the Post Office committee will take
no action on the bills looking to an in
crease of expenditures at the New York
and Chicago post offices. Such strong
pressure is being brought to prevent an
increase of expenditures by this congress
that it seems doubtful if the committee
will act on the bill.

PITTsBURG, May l9.-There is a fight
on In Beaver county That is likely to dump
Dick Quay into the soup. A coal operator
named Mansfield decided some time ago
to run for the Legislature. This did not
accord with the schemes of Senator Quay.
He wanted his son Dick to be tie nominee
and no one else would suit him. At first
the matter was treated as a joke, but Quay
soon made his henchmen under
stand that he meant just what
he said He spread the report
that since he had been attacked i'll the pub
lie press it would be necessary for him to
secure vindication at home and the only
way he saw to do 1t was to put his son
up for office. Then DIR. Lockhart an
nounced himself as the other candidate.
and although he is physician of repute
aud a man of integrity he did not suit
Mr.. Quay. A day or two afterward Ron
ert Sterling. whose intellectual attain
ments are such as to make his candidacy
Joke was put on the ticket with Dick
Quay. This was adding insult to injury.
But it was Quay's bidding and must be
done, and the other candidates who were
inimical to Quay's interest must be pulled
IL.
tween himself and Mr. Mansfield at the
latters residence. lie told Mr.. Mansfield
that the people did not want him to run,
and that Judge Wickam, II. c. Fry and
others had so expressed them
selves Mr. Mansfield responded that
if Quay would find him twelve repu-
table citizens who asked for his withdraw
al he would not permit his name to go
before the people. Quay told him he
could, and ordered a letter drawn up to be
circulated throughout Beaver The letter
was carried around by w. H. Reed, a
noted Quay henchman of this city, but
after days of fruitless search he could find
only four men who would sign it.
When it was presented to Judge Wick
ham he denied that he had expressed him
self as preferring any man and refused to
sign the paper So did the other men whom
QUAY said were .yilling to sign. This
gave Mansfield and LOckhart more sand,
and now they are out to either sink or
swim, regardless of Mr.. Quays wishes.
Heretofore the Quays could have anything
in Beaver county for the asking, but when
the senatOr wanted to shove his son Dick
and Robert Sterling on the people, they
grew tired and split They claim it will es-
tablish a precedent of nepOtism that will be
hard to overcome. For three days of last
week, Dick Quay has been making tours Of
the factories of Beaver Falls, doing his
best to induce the workingmen to vote for
him His progress has been slow and he
goes to the polls on the last day Of this
month with large chances of being beaten.
The split IN the Quay ranks is led by |. D.
Perrott. well-knOwn merchant and poll
tician He says the Independent republi-
cans will snow young Quay under and that
the people there are getting tired of being
ruled by an iron hand.

ruE LABOR NGITATION

TIE LABOR AGITATION
Imam interview concerning the eight
hour movement Cardinal Gibbons wisely
observes that the great labor problem will
bc solved first in this country, because here
everything of that nature is submitted to
"the test of reason, common-sense and
thorough criticism, and truth is involved
from this free and full discussion OF soci II
questions" Our workingmen are at per
feet liberty. in other wor Is, to present
their grievances and urge their sentiments
with all the energy of their command.
provided only that they do not resort to acts
Of violence and destruction. So long as
they use peaceful methods they are sure
of respectable and sympathetic hearing;
and public opinion sustainS them in all
Just, fair and reasonable claims This
cight-hour movement is a case in point.
II Is being conducted, for the most part.
IN temperate and proper manner, and
thus is making S favorable impression,
whereas a contrary policy would swiftly
have brought general condemnation upon
it. The country is manifestly willing to
listen to all that canbe said in support
of the eight hour idea and the indications
are that its adoption will be secured in
partial degree without any serious dis
turhanee of the industrial situation. 1t Is
idle to expect, howev 7. that this partial
success will be followed 10y a general reduc-
tion of the hours of labor to such stand
ard. In the nature of things that Is i'm
possible, The form Is one that has obvi-
Gus and conclusive limitations, and
as soon as those limitations are reached
it must stop. 1t is very easy to see that
only comparatively small proper
tion Of the aggregate laboring population
of the country can ever take advantage of
a system which shortens the days work
to eight hours. There are but few trades
or occupations in which work is done by
the day or could be so done. owing TO Ger
tain fixed and forbidding conditions. For
| example the farmers. who compose about
one-half of the whole laboring element
could not possibly adopt their operations
to such an Arrangement. They must work
not when they will. but when they can.
having regard for variations of season.
changes of weather, and different demands
as 20 different crops. The eight-hour plan
would be detrimeut rather than an ad-
vantage to them, inasmuch as it would
prevent them from managing their affairs
according to rules Of expediency which
| they are unable to abolish or control. Then
there are those various classes who find it
either necessary or desirable to do piece
work, their wages being measured by
their own skill and industry, with the
| privilege of earning more by working long
er. Clearly, therefore. it is only in given
| trades. where the conditions are suscept-
ibIe of arbitrary adjustment, that the
eight-hour theory can be effectively and
satisfactorily applied. Perhaps this is all
that the movement Is designed to accom-
plish; but if anything more is contem.
plated then disappointment is certain tc
ensue.

THE LAW UNCONSTITUTIONAL.
Dressed Beef Men Gain Victory in the
U. s. supreme Court.

WASHINGTON, May 19.-The supreme
court has rendered decision holding to
be uncOnstitutIOn TIE law of Minnesota re-
quiring that all fresh meats sold in the
state shall be cut from animals saugh-
tered within the state and inspected TWEEN
ty-fOur hOms before slaugI ter. The case
is entitled " the state of Minnesota against
Henry D. Barber, and if of great interest
to the dressed beef men, who won the case.
The opinion says: Tine enactment of a
similar statute by each one of the states
composing the union would result In the
destruction of commerce among the several
states; so far as such commerce is involved
in the transportation from one part of the
country to another Of meat designed for
human food and entirely free from disease.
As inspection must take place within
twenty hours Immediately preceding
slaughtering the act excludes from
the Minnesota market the price of nearly
all fresh beef, veal, mutton, lamb or pork
in whatever form. and although entirely
sound, healthy and fit for human food
taken from animals slaU Ughtered in other
stages. and directly, tends to restrict the
slaughtering of animals whose meat is TO
be sold in Minnesota for human food, TO
those engaged in such business in that state
] this legislation does not make such dis
elimination against the products and bus
mess Of other states in favor of the pro-
ducts and business Of Minnesota as inter
feres with and burdens commerce in sew
eral states, it would be difficult to enact
legislation that would have such a result
