Our Democratic primary election
passed off very quietly, and very ittl'
interest was manifested. as was shown
by the small vote pOlled. The contes
being principally between Judge Hill
the present incumbent of the Western
district, and candidate Ruddock, wht
led his opponent in this precinct by
votes. At this writing, however, it i:
claimed that Hill is re-nominated. The
total vote of this precinct is not full

Hume, Alex Petrie and Alex Bremner,
of Syenite, were in town the latter part
of last week, on business with a like
committee of members of this branch
of the Granite Cutters Union, in pre-
pairing bill of prices pertaining to
our trade. The bill was carefully go.-
ten up, and on Saturday presented to
the Granite producers OF Missouri for
their approval and signatures, which,
we understand, has been accepted and
signed for a period of two years, from
August 1st, 1892. 1t is needless to say
that sound sense. good judgment,
peace and harmony prevailed among
the committees of the different branch
es, and also during the conference with
the representatives of the Granite COM
panies of the state of Missouri; and
we dare say. more good can come of
al, H. Il IL
fair-minded bodies, than to resort to |
the Carnegie e-Frick-Pinkerton system, |
of settling disputes and grievances that |
are of frequent occurrences between |
employers and employees, or as some
would have it between labor and capit-
al. And now that the agony as to the |
lease matter, and the settling Of a |
of wages for q fixed time Is
over, we look forward for good times
and plenty of work. The sentence now
reads, eight hours for work, eight hours
for sleep, eight hours for what we will.

On the event of the stone cutters
getting their bill of prices signed by
the commonly speaking) granite bosses
ON Saturday last, it of course was nat
Iral that everybody felt considerable
enthused over the matter, and our brass
