The LAaoR QUESTION.

The Labor hosts are nightly un-
settled, and will be until the eight
: hour day is generally adopted. That
1t Is certain to be adopted, in the not
very distant future, is the belief alike
of capital and labor. 1t would save
disturbance, Ill feeling, and settle
difficulties likely to arise every year /,
if the eight hour day was adopted all
over this country. 1t is not practical
BILE to adopt it in one place and refu Sc
to adopt it another. Conditions of
trade competitions in this country re-
quire uniformity In order to fairness
in such competitions. The manufsc-
turers of one section will always fight
an eight hour law or regulation that
does not affect rival manufacturer
in some ether section. First, must
come the esta blishment by legislative
enactment of On eight hour day for
all state employees, IS is now the
law with federal employees. Then
the making of eight hours
legal days work, unless other
wise specified. This done the ad !.
justment of business and handicrafrs
to the new time would soon follow.
BY adopting the eight hour, strikes
for time would cease, the yearly dis
ruption of large industries would
be at an end, labor difficulties would
largely die out, and for score of
years at least, the most fruitful caus 9
of labor disturbances would be done
away with. The periodical strike
only worries, impoverishes, antago.
nizes, and really accomplishes moth
ing. Given q general law making
eight hours q legal days work over
the whole country, and then a just
arbitration law for the regulation Of
difficulties as to wages arising be-
tween employers and employed, and
the labor difficulties of this country
would be perpetually at an end.

THE Yoakum Graphic has this to
say concerning an off-color remark OF
the Beeville Picayune:
The Beeville Picayune gives San
Antonio the name of the city of moss
backs and tells her to make room for
Beeville and progress. We admire
your nerve, Brer. McFarIand-the
moss back must go.
That is just what the boys did
admired the nerve of the man who
twisted balky mules tail, but it did
not mend the mans broken jaw nor
return his right eye to 1t its lone
some socket. Less nerve and more
discretion is not unh ealthy.

low APUZZLE Was SOLVED.

When YOU want a certain article, you want
the best make Of that article, don't You!
But how to determine which make Is best
is what puzzles you, isn't it?
And when the puzzle is solved Tor you.
by authority which cannot be questioned,
you are pleased, aren't you?
And YOU would like to hear Of one puZ-
zle that has been solved for the people OF
the whole world, wouldn't you?
Well, we will tell you about that very
puzzle, and its solution.
At the Universal Exposition of 1889 at
Paris, France, the best sewing machines OF
the world, including those Of Amoric2, were
in competition They were passed upon bya
jury composed Of the best foreign r,echan-
ical experts, two of whom were the leading
sewing machine manufacturers OF France.
This jury, after exhaustive examination
and tests, adiudged that the Wheeler &
Wilson machines were the hest OF all. and
awarded that company the highest prize OF
fered, the GRAND PRIZE, giving other
comp panies only gold, silver and bronze
medals. 49,,
The French Government, as further
recognition Of superiority, decorated Mr..
Nathaniel Wheeler, president OF the com
pany, with the Cross OF the Legion OF
Honor, the most priced honor OF France.
That is how the puzzle Of the best sewing
machine in the world was fully solved by the
most competent authority in the world III
favor of the No. 8 and No. IL Wheeler &
Wilson machines.
The No. 0, for family use, and the No. 10,
for manufacturing uses, are the best III the
world to-day.
And now, when you want a sewing ma
chine, if you do not get the best, it will b.
your own fault.
Ask your sewing machine dealer for tn;
No. 9 Wheeler 6 Wilson machine. and If ht
does not keep them, write to us for descrip
