THE LABOR CONGRESS.
The Eight Hour ouestion-Proeeeding {
Yesterdays Session.

4AAN AuhA NWNNAAhu-EN ANNNAAHbN -
Yesterdays Session.
NEW CAsrLE, Sept. 0.-The Trades
Union Congress- resumed its delibera-
tons to-day, The proceedings up to
the present have disclosed that among
the new trades unions and newer mem
bers of the old trade unions there is
predomlnance OF feeling which shows
that they are deeply imbued with So
cialism and kindred doctrines. Tillett,
burns and other leaders are opposed TO
the old uniopists led by Mr.. Thomas
Burt, NJ. r., President OF the present
Congress.
The first test OF the strength Of these
two parties was in the vote taken yes
terday upon the question OF an inter-
national eight hour law, although this
vote taken on the system OF proper
tional money vote on Monday THAT the
unions represented at the congress
should pay tax OF Ct pound per thou-
sand members before they were allowed
TO vote, proposition strongly opposed
by the London trades unions) gave the
new union men decisive victory, and,
it should be added, ii there had been II
show OF hands their majority would
have been greater. The new men there
upon declared that all subsequent vot-
ing should be by show OF hands.
At the resumption OF business to-day,
by vote OF 242 TO 1855 n motion TO the
effect that bill reducing or fixing the
hours oil labor ought to be OF apermis.
sive or optional character was carried
after considerable discussion.
The amendment proposed to the eight
hour international law recommendation
in substance is, that the eight hour law,
when passed, shall not be enforced with
out the consent OF two-thirds of the
organized members OF tue trade concern
ed. Several Of tile delegates protested
against the acceptance Of the amend-
ment. "Ben" Tillet, speaking against
the amendment, urged that the vast
majority OF workmen were not able TO
fight out an issue for themselves, and
that the introduction OF pernissiye
principles would greatly increase their
difficulties in getting a reduction OF their
hours OF labor. Delegate Cowie, on be-
half oftho Miners Federation, repre-.
senting 10000 miners, said that he APP
proved OF the permissive principle in
reference to the proposed eight-hour
law and advocated the adoption OF the
amendment
Delegate Mawdsley, an operative cotton
spinner, prominent trade union leader,
and member OF the royal labor COM
mission, supported the permissiye
amendment, and during his speech
scollingly alluded to the "aowery Ian
guage' used by some OF the delegates III
their rhetorical efforts. Delegate
Mawdsley expressed the opinion that
such flowers of speech would not serve
labor questions, though, he added, they
might "gain the applause OF ignorant
mobs."
A tremendous uproar followed the
utterance OF these haunting words and
at one time it seemed that the speaker
would be subjected to personal VIC.
lence. Mawdsley was finally compelled
to withdraw his injudicious remarks
and to clumsily apologize for having
uttered it.

A Temporary Judge.

privoa the Circuit Court of this district
Of one of its judges, but there should

permit suitable provision to be made
for keeping the machinery OF justice
moving, tits argued that either Judge

All the same this does not equip the
bench with two judges, as the law pro-
vidcs, because that provision was
necessary for the dispatch of business,
Either judge can do what the other
could have done, but what the public
interests requireis that two judges shall

The Mormon Game.

The Mormon efforts to gather up a
fresh supply of women in Europe do
not quite tally with the professions Of
the Mormons at home. If they are sub
hitting to the law against polygamy
they have no use for fresh importations
of the raw material of polygamy. The
fact is that there is no Mormonism with
out polygamy, and when the Saints
abandon their many wives they will
cease to be Mormons. This will happen
when they como to be treated as other
lawbreakers IRE treated by the Govern
luent OF the United States.

Pennsylvania Democrats does not pre-

bupbled over in n way that seems some

the convention to follow his maunder-
ings about the Grampus OF Gray Gables.

question as TO whether or not municipal

right TO do this has very generally been dis

any other, the continued disgraceful con-

Dressed Beef.

In attempting to turn the control of local
markets over TO local dealers the Legisla-
ture of Virginia enacted a law prohibiting
the sale Of fresh meats slaughtered more
than 100 miles from the place OF sale unless
first inspected, at "A cost for inspectors fees
Of one cent per pound. Evidently this
would operate as a prohibition against
meats killed outside of the state, and legal
decision in regard TO its cOnstitutionality
was inevitable. Such a decision has been
rendered by the supreme Court Of the United
States, which, in prOnOuncing against
the constitutionality Of the law, OBJ.
serves that while State may establish
regulations TO protect the people against
the sale Of unwholes0me meats, it may not,

THE ROW IN THE HOUSE.

The trouble which characterized the pro-
ceedings in the House of Representatives
Tuesday and yesterday will, no doubt be
distorted by the Republican press against
the Democracy, inasmuch as not only
Democrats, but Southern Democrats at
that, were prominent among those who
were engaged in denouncing the arbitrary
conduct of Speaker Reed. We shall, In all
probability, be treated to numberless dis
sertations on the subject OF "plantation
manners" and the attempt will be made
for il TO appear that the South is endeayor-
ing to bully the Speaker and compel him TO
act according 10 their Will.
The healthy sentiment Of the entire coun-
try, however, will be with the gentlemen
who, fretted beyond endurance at the over
bearing arrogance and assumption OF
man like Reed, could not longer submit in
quiet, but were compelled to give vent TO
their long pent-up feelings. The idea stu
prevails ameng Democrats that this is "A
free country, and that tree born citizens have
inalieaable rights which the most reNolu-
tionaty Of Radical revoutionists are bound
20 respect. When men imbued with such
ideas find themselves, although representa-
tiyes Of the people on the floor OF the
Federal Legislature, attempted to be
gagged and restrained Of their rights by
q petty little despot, who, clothed IN the
briefest authority, is disposed TO play such
fantastic tricks before high heaven, as, II he
was Of sufficient consequence to attract
any attention there, would make the angels
laugh, II is no wonder that they have had
their patience strained to the limit OF Vlr-
tue. And when Reed at length piled on the
last straw TO break the cameps back 1t is
net strange that they were not at all mealy-
mouthed in the expression Of their just in
dignation.
The country then will stand by Mr.. Mills
and his colleagues who have made their
just protest against the gag laws OF the
House and the arrogant rulings Of the Re
publican Speaker. The masses Of Repub-
licans even admire high spirit more than
cowardice, and the manly stand taken by
the Democratic members OF the House
against Reed will excite much more popu-
lar sympathy than will be ielt for these
craven Congressman who first voted them
selves into slavery 10 Reel, and then
tremblingly obeyed his every caprice. aud
cringed before his every mandate in the
most cur like and abject submission.

On Ice.
New York SUM-

The town Of Colon, on the Isthmus OIL
Panama, has three fOrlOrn and unappreci-
ated refrigerators. Cigars are stored In one
of them, and shop-keeper includes the
other two among his unstable lumber. The
town has no use for ice, and refrigerators
are a drug in the market.
According TO recent consular reports re-
ceiyed ut Washington the emily countries
where ice is not popular are some tropical
regions where one would suppose the cool
ing commodity would be welcomed as one
of Heavens best gifts. The little island
of Reunion has ice and snow on the
tops of two Of its mountains, but the
people regard them as damp and uncomfort-
able, and keep away. Most Brazilians
believe that IL is unhealthy 10 use ice in

writes that even if ice were cheaper, he is
convinced they would not use 1t. In the
Philippine Islands ice water is regarded as
injurious to health, and drinking water Is
cooled by putting it :nto bottles which are
laid on the ice. In Jaifa, the seaport of Jeru-
salem, = company was formed three years
ago 10 make artificial ice, but the enterprise
was soon abandoned, as customers were not
found for the product.
