A Conditional Fight Hour Law Is
Passed After Long Discussion.


LONDON, Sept. 10.-In the trades
union congress serious uproar was
caused by remark of Mr.. Mawdsley,
q cotton spinner, who, alluding 10 what
he called the flowery language used by
some Of the delegates, said that the
fowery words of spies would not solve
the label problem, though "they might
gain the applause of ignorant mobs."
The scene that followed was of the
most exciting character, and some of
the delegates showed disposition to do
personal violence to Mawdsley. The
cries of Withdraw" were deafening,
and the uproar did not cease until
Mawdsley withdrew his remark and
apologized. He was then permitted to
proceed.
The proceedings up to the present
have disclosed that among the new
trade unions and newer members of the
old trades unions there is a predomi-
nance of feeling which shows that they
are deeply imbued with socialism and
kindred doctrines.
By a vote of 242 to 1856 a motion to
the effect that bill reducing or fixing the
hours of labor ought to be of permissive
or optional character was carried after
long discussion.
Inc 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-tlirds of the or
ganized members of the trade con-
cerned. Several of the delegates pro-
tested against the acceptance of the
amendment on the ground that by so
doing the delegates would stultify the
resolution passed in regard to compul-
sorry eight hour law.

III. Grevy was "A very important factor
was the question, or rather the parlia-
mentary debate arising out of the ques-
tion, relative to the presidency of the
republic. The authorities who were
then in the cabinet thinking il well that
Nono Iaan should be appointed for the
spsce OF four years to the presidential
chair, and having brought forward
proposition to that effect before the
house, NJ. Grevy introduced his cele-
brated amendment, known in history as
the Grevy one, wherein it was provided
that the presidency of the republic be
abolished, and that the supreme power
be vested in the hands of the prime
minister elected for an indefinite period,
and always liable to be removed from
Office by vote of the assembly. His
amendment was supported by Carnot,
Eteinne, Arago, Ledru RolliIs and
Others but was defeated.
Imprisoned by Napoleon.
Napoleon was elected president. Jules
Grevy's words were true. The presi-
dent became emperor, but Grevy re-
manned Republican. The former, re-
membering the famous amendment,

at large. Accordingly orders were given

In a manner that won the applause of

He was reelected four times, and
finally was elected third president of the

the nation and himself that on the ex-
lsration of his term of office in 1885 he
WAS reelected.

presidency in 1887 on account of tho

THE SCHOOL FUND.

A private citizen discussing in the
Austin Statesman the investment of
the public school fund, says we
have about 5000 public free schools
in the State, while we have only
about 1000 public free school
houses in good repair, and are
therefore using six or seven thous-
and houses which do not belong to
the public free schools and which if
belonging to them, are not in good
repair.
Of course it is universally admit
ted that nothing will add more to
the efficiency of the schools than
good comfortable school houses, and
citizens asks then if it would not he
a good policy. Why would it not be
a good policy for the legislature to
enact a law authorizing all school
districts that now exist, or may
hereafter be organized, in which
there are not sufficient comfortable
school houses, by vote of majority
or two. thirds of the taxpayers of
the district, to issue bonds for
school house purposes. Let the
bonds be issued for ten OF twenty
years, bear interest at the rate of 5
per cent per annum, interest to be
annually. Let the state be author
lied to invest the public school
fund in these bonds at par.
That there may be no extrava-
gance let the amount to be voted by
each district be regulated by the
Legislature in proportion to the
value of the property in said dis.
trict.
That there may be no trouble
about the bonds, let it be made
the duty of the commissioners
court of the county or the school
trustees of the district to annually
assess and have collected sufficient
taxes to pay the interest secure q
sinking fund for the redemption of
the bonds. Let there be heavy pen
alties against any officer who may
neglect to perform any of the duties
prescribed by the bill.
