WASHINGTON Is SELECTED
Federation of Labor Headquarters
to Be Located Here.
Delegate weisman Afraid That Of
ficers May Become Professional
Congressional Lobbyists.

Cincinnati. Ohio. Dec. 19.-The national
Headquarters Of the American Federation
of Labor will be moved to Washington, d.
c. This action was decided upon at the
afternoon session of the Federation, the
other competitor being Chicago.
Before this decision was reached the
report of the special committee ON the eight
hour movement was taken up. 1t was de-
cided TO send committee to Washing
ton, and an assessment Of one cent made
to meet the expenses in carrying out the
provisions of the report, which was adopted
The matter of moving the national head
quarters was then brought before the con-
yention by the law committee. Favorable
| report was made on the resolution sub
mitted by Delegate Silver of Washington,
| to the effect that the 'section of the con-
| stitution fixing the place of the national
headquarters, be amended by striking out
| the word indianapolis and substituting
washington" A minority report was
| in favor of leaving the constitution and
| headquarters unchanged.
A motion was made that the word
indianapolis be stricken out, and the
delegates given chance to vote their
| choice.
| On the roll DelnS cdlleu lne HlotioH W
strike out was carried by vote OF
1884 to 730, and Indianapolis was or
| dered stricken from the constitution.
| Delegate Silver, of Washington city,
moved that Washington be substituted,
| and the motion was seconded by Delegate
Mari, in a speech ably settling forth the
| advantages to be derived from location
| at the National Capital.
| Delegate We!sman entered protest
| against Washington, holding that there was
! great danger that the executive council
and permanent officers of the Federation
| would become contaminated by the degrad-
| ing and corrupt practices and influences
that would there surround them, degen-
| crate into professional Congressional lob
| byists, and lose the influence which they
/ can now exert with members OF the
| nations Legislature as honest men asking
only that which is right in behalf of
the nations wage-earners.
After two or three other delegates had
! spoken the debate was brought to close
by, motion for the previous question, and
| the vote resulted in the selection OF Wash
| ington by ,705 against 4S7 for Chicago.

Happiness.

Oh! Happiness how fleet by wings!
Thou rarest OF all mortal things,
How subtle are thy ways!
What thousands discontinued toll
Trusting you will kindly smile
On their declining days!
Yet still in hopes horizon seen,
Like distant grass UP the green
Which children chase at play
AS down the vale, now on the hill,
Some fresher spot pursuing still
To spend their holiday.
Till weary limbs no more will go,
And baffied hope hath lost the glow
That winged their feet from home,
sa They wiser, sadder turn them,
And, signing, see the very track
Ger which they just have come.
What seemed all black and bare before,
With lovely spots now dotted DER;
But all! their day is dof,A
While vet the wish CLEANS on each face
The mountains veil the sun.
. al so in every phase of life
Through all the grades Of human
strife,
In every age and cline
We chase the fast receding ray
STILL happiness, thourt far away
In distant, glimmering time.
Most inpocent and truly good
Idwelt among the flower and fem,
And by. the, muses. lyric world
felt the flame ambition burn.
Where are those lights saw at first,
That burned with love and dazzling
hope.
Which led me on to brave the worst
And with the best to strive and cope?
D, where those infant feet and hands,
That petted battered round me once,
And woye affections golded bands
Around my heart their ready sconce?
.Allured on by love and light
climbed and climbed such giddy steps,
And gainsd at last dizzy height
To gaze into such awful depths.
But could not my awful steps retrace,
The way had crumbled far beneath, =
And left me standing face to face,

drawing attention to the liberal treat
ment Of his tenantry by Sir John Talbot
Power. Notwithstanding that Judge
Bewley, chairman of the Land Commits
sioners, thinks himself justified in in
creasing rents. this landlord, who knows
from actual contact with the people the
true state of affairs, has, through his
agents, voluntarily granted TO all his ten
ants, on the Hampton estate, a reduction
Of 90 per cent on their rents. Sir John
Powers brothers-Mr. James Talbot Pow
