THE sALFORO SUCCESS,

The working of the eight-hour day e1- pertinent which has been carried on during the last year at the big iron works in Sal ford, England, Is very interesting. It sp pears that both employers and employees worked together to make the plan @ sue cess. A very large proportion of the men employed at Salford were engaged on hand work-on boiler making, brass finishing, moulding, copper smithing, turning and ftting-and at the beginning of the new system 1t was definitely understood that the production must not bs lessened and that there would be no reduction in wsges Greater punctuality, increased energy and interest during the shorter hours were de- mauded. By mutual effort 1t was hoped that the firm would be justified in the per manent adoption of the forty eight hour week, and the summary Of the years oper- ations proved that in shops employing many time workers (uho were not allowed to perform extra labof) the output need not be diminished by the shortening of the day.
 II pay roll. Unde rthe old conditions the time lost without leave was 9 4s per cent. During the ty-eight-hour week 1t was only .4o of one per cent. The increase in wages was counterbslsnced by economy In gas, electric light, fuel, oil and wear on engines and machinery. It Is easy to see how the thing was done. As the Proyi. dence Journal points out, the lesson of the Salford trial Is not a hard one to learn, bu, 1t will not be acceptable to the sgitatoIi
 who are continually appealing to the
 "down-trodden sons of toll" to rise against
 their tyrant masters and cease to be the
 slaves of monopoliets. In England, as ir
 this country, it Is reasonable to assume
 that employers are willing to pay their mer
 all that the conditions of trade will per
 init. It is manifestly unfair to demand ter
 hours pay for eight or nine hours work, un
 less 1t can be shown that the loss will not fall on the manufacturer, who may
 not be able to charge the difference to tht
 consumer. The price at which goods car
 be sold is dependent on laws of trad,
 which the mill owner cannot regulate
 and If he is obliged to lose an hour or twc
 day for each employe and get only thu
 market value of his products his interests
 will be best served by suspendins opera lions. But If, on the other hand, the sn
 ployes are able and willing to give tn,
 same production in the shortened day ther'
 will be no necessity fer appealing to thu
 legislature to enact eight or nine-hou laws, and working people will see no ad
 vantage in spending part of their earning
 in hiring walking delegates to try to ac
 complish the impossible task of alterinl . conditions imposed by natural laws, ant to obtain valuable considerations vithou ' | rendering due equivalent.

Remarks by q Lover of Rest Thinrs Tothe Editor of the JoussAL AND COURIER: ' Please let me thank "A Lover of Shamsn for the article in this nprning's JOURNAL AND COURIER, for have wanted to have some one speak of the subject therein dis cussed, to have an effort made to bring about better standard of courtesy and true nobility among the young gentlemen of the University.
 About two weeks ago we had in our pleasant chapel a reception given by the members of the Christian Endeayor society of our church. We older ones were cor dially invited to attend and we did SO, for VIC love our young Christian Endearorerr, who are closely bound to us by many ties of mutual respect and interest. We were warmly received, the room was bright with fair young faces and fragrant with flow CTS. Some beautiful violin mus,c and oth- CT entertainment was given. Then a com- pany of young men came forward and aapg with their rich deep voices and clear enun- cistion snd accurate time the words which "A Lover of Shsmsn quoted One of the lsdiee present wondered how such a set of young men could have found entrance to place evidently so foreign to their natures and understanding, but now fear, 1t must be that they are well-bTei young men, even used to homes of culture and refinement. How shall we understapd their ehoics. Do they not owe us sn apol- ogyi Was 1t courteous to offer to us such a selectioni Why not give of one's bssti
 In contrast recall with pleasure the ac- count in honday's JOURNAL AND COURIER of the meeting conducted on last Sunday evening, by this same Christian Endeavor society in English hall where "Nssrer My God to Thee" was given in closing, sung by Miss Ward and illustrated in tableau by Miss Kay and no better proof of its effectiveness can be given thsn shown by sn old lady, who came to the platform just after the exercises were ended and said to them: You've brought me back I'd almost given 1t up, but you've brought me back sgsin."
 While visiting In Northampton some months ago, heard the young ladies of Smith college sing some of their college songs and they sang them well, but again heard from the mouth of 6 charming and dainty girl low, cosrse song, which was SO unworthy of the singer that one won dered how it could ooms from such pure lips It would never have been possible had 1t not been Q chosen and admired one of Yale. I am sure. I know, that If they would only think 6 moment and see these things in their true relations they, the strong, merry and really tender-hesrted and manly sons of Yale would set this matter right at once. "Noblesse oblige |" The hand that throws the ball and rows the boat may rule the world in this matter of high -mindedness and courtesy, and I believe 1t will.

THE WHITE MCGEE SONG.
 Some singing that has lately been done by some of the young gentlemen of the University has caused little stir. We do not mean the bacchanalisn singing that is done by the young gentlemen of the University who meander and weave home ward at 8. m. or so and stir to indigna' tion those on their route who want to sleep. It appears that some of the young gentlemen of the University have been trying to contribute to the entertainment of cultivated and Christian assemblies in New Haven by singing about shooting a white nigger through the liver long time ago, and that some members of these as. ssmblies have felt that the singers displayed poor taste in selecting such @ song. We think they did, but there is some ex- cuse for them in the approval with which their performances are usually received, be they ever go lacking in taste, or In other merit. They have been given reason to be- lieve that there Is no very sensitive taste among those before whom they sing, and so If they have any themselves they don't feel under any special obligation to show 1t. Such Is the rage for silly and vulgar college songs that we have been almost eI- pecting that soms of them would be heard at the rather fantastic praise services which are so popular nowadays. And, speaking of religious praise services, there is great difference between

 It would not do the young gentlemen of the University who have the gift of song any harm to discover that they can overdo it in selecting silly, meaningless and vul- gar songs to display their giftin. Of course they can't sicken good many of their audiences, but they will strike one occa- sionally that can discriminate. For in- stance, an audience of dark colored ladies and gentlemen wouldn't see anything par tic6larly tasteful in musical declaration concerning the shooting of a white nigger through the liver long time ago. And there are white people in New Haven who don't, as appears of record. although the young gentlemen of the University who sing have had good reason to believe that anything they might choose to sing would be highly acceptable.

The very best way to know

The very best way to know whether Dobbins' Electric Soap is as good as it is said to be, is to TRY IT. YOURSELF. 1t can't deceive YOU. Only be careful not to get an imitation. There are a great many Elec- tries and Magnetics, all intend ed to deceive the public into supposing that they are Dob bins Electric, or just as good. We have made this since 1869. It is the original Electric and is guaranteed to be worth four times as much as any other soap ever made. For washing anything, from the finest lace to the heaviest blanket, it is without a peer. Only follow directions.
