LIE ElGHT HOUR DAY.
Harvesting the Genius of the Age to the
Chariot of Labor.


Especial Co-rrespondence.l
We are living in the second epoch of
the economic revolution; the third may
be precipitated as suddenly as that of
the war of the revolution or the war of
the Union.
Protestation precedes organization,
and organization precedes action.
Those who read history with the eyes
Of the present a foresee the future.
The economic or industrial system has
been reyolutionized on the side of CAPT
tai, and will be r-evolutionized on the
side of labor. The question the present
and near future is called upon to answer
is, "How shall this revolution be accom-
plished, by force of arms or force Of
argument"
The eight hour movement is the peace
full method; the defeat of labor legisla.
ton by capital controlled congresses and
legislative bodies is an invitation to re-
sort to arms.
Wealth, opportunity and power have
slipped through the fingers of the masses
because they nave never known enough
to hold IN to their own or to grasp what
was theirs to have.
The genius of the age is concentrated
upon the problem of how to save time.
Labor saving machinery and all of its
attendants of improved methods, as well
as Of chemistry and of steam and OF
electrical appliances, are the materialized
thoughts of how to save time. 1t Is be-
of this service of genius to wealth
that the power of control rests with the
wealthy. The eight hour movement is
the Harvesting of this genius of the age
to the chariot of labor. He who is mas
ter of his time is master of himself.
When the masses are wise enough to
control their time they will control the
world.
Eight hours is the giant stride of labor
toward her sovereign right to rule.
The American Federation of Labor is
greater in craftsmanship han congress.
The miners in their movement for eight
hours are wiser than the colleges.
1t is well to cry out against monopoly,
but the greatest monopoly is the monop-
oily of time.
He who is compelled to sell his time
at the command of another is not fit to
rule.
We want more wealth, more health,
more opportunity, more power. They
are u when we make a grand, su-
preme, united effort to control our time.
Eight hours means more wages to all
who work, less profit to those who live
on the labor of others, less forced idle
ness, more dignity to labor, fewer rich
idlers, through the respect for labor.
Helping the miners gain eight hours
helps the cotton operatives and the tene-
ment house slaves. Eight hours coming
quickly may avert the threatening Ian
gers. A strike for eight hours is a strike
for peace; its success means that the 18th
of April of u next epoch shall not be
as the marching forth of brave armed
men to resist oppression, as in 1775, or
to save the Union, as in 1861, but it shall
be us the marching forth of the people,
with songs, to hail the dawn of the sum
mer sun of universal peace, prosperity
and good will to man.

AN OLD TIMER.
CHEYENNE Revisited bv a Former Well
Known Resident.

N. r. Bernard, commonly known as
Baxter, one of the Oldest of the old-time
Cheyenne citizens. was in town yesterday.
He has been living of late years in Pueblo
where he has prospered and is now one of
the most substantial citizens of the town.
While here Mr.. Bernard was a member
OF the firm of Simpson & Bernard who
owned the Metropolitan billiard hall at
the northeast corner OF Seventeenth and
Eddy streets. lie was also in the horse
business, being a member of the firm of
7. A. Kent & Co. which hen did bust
ness where the Hereford ranch now
stands. Bernard is still connected in
business with bis old partner George D.
Simpson, who is so well known here.
Mr.. Bernard is not a very laxative or
excrtable man. II Is related of him that
he hapr ened to be in Chicago during the
big fire. By the barest chance in the
world he saved hIs life by escaping in
light attire from a burning hotel. When
be got home somebody asked him about
the tremendous conflagration. "Oh, it
was a fair sort of a blaze" said he, but
nothing to get very much excited about. "
Mr.. Bernard found many old time
friends here yesterday who we're glad to
see him and show him about the town.
Cheyenne has improved wonderfully since
his last visit.

A FAMILY FEUD.
A Sequel to the Madden McDermott
Shooting Affair.
McOermott Confesses Belonging TO
a Band of Horse Thieves.
His Wife Says McDermOtt Robbed
United States Malls.

Several weeks ago a sensational shoot
ing affair occurred in the Big Horn basin.
Tom Madden and James McDermott,
hrothers-ln law and living on ~neighboring
ranches, quarrelled aud fought, both men
exchanging shots with rifles In the
fight McDermott picked up his five year
old son and held him before him as a
shield. The boy was killed by a bullet
from Madden's rife and McDermott was
badly wounded.
Madden was exonerated from blame by
a cOroner's jury, but afterwards skipped
out. McDermott, who Is recovering, has
made a statement charging Madden with
being the leader Of a band of horse
thieves aud mail robbers, and has con-
fessed to being a member of his band,
claiming, however. to have been forced
into joining, he says he was with Mad
den when a large band Of horses was
stolen from a ranchmsn named Tatman
and driven to Nebraska where they we're
sold. Mrs. McDermott, who is Madden's
sister, corroborates her husbands state
ment about the stealing, but SAYS that he
instead of Madden was the instigator and
leader. Mrs. McDermott further states
that her husband had frequently robbed
United States mail sacks. the Hyatville
rostofice being at his ranch.
A Hyatville correspondent of the But
falo Bulletin says this confession clears up
a long standing mystery and exoIerates
an innocent man who has been under sus-
picion of being a thief. Two years ago
Cassel George. a resident of the Basin,
started on a journey to the east via Bill
Iugs. He received quite a sun OF money
at the latter place, and decided to send
sl20 of it to Judge Hunsinger of Hyatt
vile, to whom he was indebted in that
amount. While in the store of Bab,ock
& Miles, being in a hurry to catch the
train, he requested the cashier in the es-
establishment to mail the money for him
to Hunsinger.
The cashier ohliVinRly consented, and
the money, in two bills of 800 and $40
denomination, were put into an envelope,
registered and sent on their way. The
money Dever reached its destination. and
Cassel George having been so informed on
his return to Billings. made an investiga-
ton Suspicion fell upon the cashier,
and he was DISCHARGED as the supposed
thief from the employ of Babcock &
Miles. Mrs. McDermott In her state
ment regarding the robbing of the mail
sacks says that her husband stole this
money to her certain knowledge.
Mr.. Tatman, whose horses we're stolen,
is making a thorough investigation and
has evidence that an organized band OF
horse aud cattle thieves have made their
headquarters at McDermott's ranch for a
long time. His evidence will implicate a
number of men in the HYatvllle valley
which is remote from law officers and
courts. Tom Madden, it is said, will give
himself up and turn states evidence.
McDermott will be taken to jail as soon
as his wounds will permit and between
the confessions of the two it IS likely a
perfect network Of crimes will be uncov
cred and the perpetrators brought to JUS
tice

Speaking Of the selection of Tom Mann
as a member of the British labor COM
mission, a writer in The Labor World
says;
Barring that of John Burns, it is the
best that could be made. Tom Mann is
one Of the half dozen men who will be
remembered when most of US will not
even have left the shadow of a name.
He is that rare and fine combination, a
thinker and a worker. l know no man
to whom it is a greater pleasure to talk,
who knows the practical side of indus
trial questions more thoroughly, or who
possesses a keener or stronger intellect.
He comes from the workers. He labored
as a pit boy in the depths, and he carries
on his wrists the marks of that early
toll, and there is hardly a phase of the
laboring mans life of which he has not
some acquaintance. He sought employ
ment in the toughest departments of
Messrs. Brunner's chemical works in
order to find out the truth as to the lot
of the employees, and stuck at his self i'm
posed task till his hands were torn and
bleeding and he could work no longer.
But his achievement in the labor
world is that with which you are all IA
miliar-the directing of the lockers
union. He has had able colleagues in
Mr.. Tillett and Mr.. Glenn Edwards, but
active g~eneralship has been his. He has
made mistakes-and who has not?-and
at times 1 fancy he has gone back a lit
tie on the sound principles of his earlier
democratic teachings, though on the other
hand he has struck a mine of cautious
wisdom which has again and again saved
the lockers movement from wreck. He
is N of the princes of the labor move
ment, and it would have been ut once a
folly and an insult to exclude him from
the commission

WALDO STA, GA, Aug. 20.-Henry Cor
bett, one of the men arres ed and jailed for
robbing his employ David Thomas, COM
mitted suicide this morning by blowing his
brains out with derringer pistol. which
he managed to conceal from the officers
whom locked up. He had coolly premedi-
tated the act and wrote several letters TO
relatives and others telling that he
cared not to live under the charges
against him. He sent his life insurance
policies to his father and told him what dis
position to make of the money aud his other
property He wrote a letter to Jailer
Stephens thanking him for his kindness. He
also wrote one to Sheriff Harrell, at whose
house he had been boarding, heaping upon
him all the curses imaginable and express
ing the hope that he would meet him in the
hereafter. The stolen goods were found at
Harrell's house, and he charges him with
having told the officers about them. Cor
belts father has telegraphed for his body to
be sent to Varnville, S. G.
r. II. Barnes, who was also implicated in
the robbery, confessed everything and
turned over all the goods in his possession
to the owners and skipped out, but the
officers are trying to overtake him again.
The goods in his possession amounted to
about 80 600.
