A Coed One bv Cleveland.

When Grover Cleveland was Governor
he was fond of telling humorous stories
TO illustrate a point. 1t is said he got
off good thing on a certain eX-Assem-
blyman who dropped in to see him about
the time the newspapers were exposing
the Job in the contract for putting in a
new ceiling in the Albany Capitol. 1t
appears that all during the days OF Boss
Tweed this eX-Assemblyman was in the
lower house and fought against iobbery
and against the "boss" Mr.. Cleveland
was listening to the comments of the eX-
AsSemblyman about the substitution Of
a paper mache ceiling for an oak one:
when, all at once, with smile on his
face, he interrupted his visitor thusly:
"What is the difference between the
Assembly now and when you were a
MEMBER"
1--WE were ruled then by Democratic
boss, and now by a Republican boss, Z"
ventured the eX-member.
"Oh, no. When you were n member
the fraud was on the floor: now IL is on
the ceiling" said Mr.. Cleveland.

NINE WORKERS.
The Interstate Convention and the
Eight Hour Movement.


Eight Hour Movement.
The interstate convention Of miners
and Operators at Pittsburg, came to
an inharmonious and sudden end
on the evening OF the 9th. After u
fierce battle OF words and opinions,
further talk was declared proGtlcss
and adjournment was made sine die.
This action means practically that the
interstate agreement has been abol-
ished and the amicable and harmon
ious relations that have existed be-
tween The two classes for the past five
years are broken off and may not be re-
sumed. 1t also means that 10000
mine workers in the Ohio and Pennsyl-
vania regions will quit work the lst OF
May, affecting 500, 900 persons direct.
ly and hundreds OF thousands indi-
rectly. As the niue workers OF the
country will also demand the eight
hour day, continuation Of work now
seems almost impossible. Two great
organizations, the Knights OF Labor
