The Lamb or the LiOn2

There was a maiden whose name is
connected in kind and gentle ways
with the one, and sacred history deals
with the latter and the opposite sex.
1t has also been found appropriate to
apply the name of either one or the
other of the animals to the manner in
which the third month of our calen-
dar year deals with US, or, in other
words. the weather. 1t is an uncer-
tain quantity. No one knows how it
will come or go, and it is regulated by
a power human influences cannot con-

however, in the trains of the Mime

THE EIGHT HOUR BILL.

Not even the most enthusiastic advo-
vocate Of a short hour working day can
conceal from himself the more or less
serious practical difficulties that would
attend the workings of the act now be-
fore the House with favorable report
from the committee on labor, if it should
become law. If, for example, the Messrs.
Cramp, the government shipbuilders,
should be compelled under the pains and
penalties provided, to work their men
when employed on government jobs
eight hours day, and should at the
same time find it necessary, as they in
evitably would under existing business
conditions, to make a ten-hour day on
work from other paties in order to meet
competition, two things would result
necessarily; the cost of the govern
ment's contract work would be increased
about 20 per cent, which would mean,
taking one year with another, an
additional burden of SIC, ,000,0 900 to $20,-
100000 additional taxation upon
the people; and the Cramps, the
Bethlehem Iron Works, and all the es-
adjustments and contracting firms
doing any work for the government or
in future obtaining any such work to do,
would be obliged to employ two different
sets of men at the same time, one set
working eight hours and the other set
working ten the difference leading to
endless troubles and complications.
1t may be that these things are worth
while; the NEWS is not prepared to say
that they are not, but they certainly call
for thoughtful consideration beforehand.

THE news that the President has sent
out invitations for an international con-
ference ON the larger use OF silver, and
that Great Britain, France and Germany
have given informal assurances of a

servative majority of the people of this
country who understand that only
through international agreement can
silver as a money metal attain and

If the fraudulent Democratic majority
in the legislature fails to remove Isaac
Fl. Maynard, the New York Bar associa-
ton can still institute action in the
proper court for his disbarment. The
judge who would refuse to disbar him
on the facts would be retired in utter
ignominy by popular vote when his
term expired. While the Bar associa-
ton is considering disbarment as to
Maynard it should consider the advisa-
bility Of taking the same action against
Senator David B. Hill and Secretary Of
State Frank Rice. All three were con-
-demned as principals in theft by Judge
Cullen's decision in the Emans contempt

a Disgrsceful Attempt to Prevent It's
Use - IN Emblem.
In Kentucky 10 II the custom for each
party to use some emblem ON their b,.l-
lots In order to make the distinction
clear, 80 that a man who cannot read
will not DO deceived into voting the
ticket contrary to his choice and convic-
tions. It has been the custom for the
Republicans to use as their emblem the
symbol which most nearly represents
their party policy and their patriotism,
the American flag, while tho Democrats
prefer going to the barnyard for an en-
blem which is characteristic Of their
brag and bluster, and choose the rooster.
Kentucky Democrats have seen the ef
feet of the wise and natural choice Of
the Republicans, and bill was intro
duced into the state senate to compel
the Republicans to give up the emblem
for which they had fought and the honor
of which they have always maintained.
In speaking Of this measure Senator
Parker said, with force and vehemence
that must bring the blush Of shame to
he cheeks Of every Democrat who comes
gitkin hearing of his voice:
There was time in the history of
his country when the Democratic party
id not choose to use the national flag as
symbol. The Republican party used
I then and stood by it, and we do not
ow want to be deprived Of the political
,sson which its constant use teaches"
This attempt of the Democrats to pull
own from the masthead Of the Repub.
lean party "Old Glory" which has 1ut.
cred proudly there through many bat
le. is but another indication Of their
tanding with reference to the old flag.
nd emphasizes again more clearly the
act that it is natural for the patriotic
itizens of this republic to be Republi-
ans. "Old Glory" will always stand at
he masthead Of the Grand Old Party,
Notwithstanding the violent Growing
md Tapping of the Democratic ROSTERS

FOWL to pull down "Old Glory" Let the
Democrats beware when they attack the
