SOME EDITORIAL COMMENTS.

Boston Herald: The plea of the
spoilsmen to let the civil service bars
down in the work of taking the new
census is fully met by Carroll d.
Wright's statement that the last cen
sus cost 100000 more than would
have been the case if the appointments
had been made under the civil service
rules. That's knockdoWn argument.
Philadelphia Ledger: The people of
Hawaii are opposed to the scheme of
annexation; the people of the United
States condemn it, but to the unscru-
pulous spectators, jobbers, lobbyists
and others who are possibly unSelhShly
interested in contending for it's realiza-
ton, the protests of Hawaii and of the
United States have neither Importance
nor force. The raiders Of the treasury
the country always has with it, and
the annexation of Hawaii presents OPP
portunities of personal and political
ACKNOWLEDGMENT to them which are too
formidable for public policy, political
morality, or national honor to success
fully resist.
New York Tribune: This country
does not NEEDLE in the affairs of foreign
states. 1t has no political interests in
Asia, and is not concerned in the main
tween the rival land-grabbers there
Not long ago the same issue was raised
over Armenia, and it was limited that
this country ought to go to war with
Turkey to enforce the provisions of
the treaty of Berlin, to which it was
not a party.
Baltimore Sun: Every young man
should school himself to be not only
honest, but frank, and resist all temp
tations to gain advancement by fraud
of any kind or even the appearance of
sharp practice. He should also be on
his guard against men whom he finds
to be two-faced or lacking in the frank
ness which is the sure sign of Spontan-
eous honesty of mind. Experience will
teach him that such dishonesty may
coeXist with a good reputation, but it
is then especially dangerous. The only
safe plan is to have no dealings with
a man who, though honest in the ordi-
nary sense, is tricky, deceitful and ST
lent when he should speak 1t is for
ing them to tell the truth, the whole
truth and nothing bu the truth
Detroit NeWS-Tribune: Last Sunday
Rt. Rev. Abel Leonard, bishop of Utah
and Nevada, made an address in Balti-
more on the present status of the Nor
MONS both social and ecclesiastical.
The theory was held almost universally
among gentle Christians" before the
overthrow of polygamy that the cohe-
sive power of the Mormon church lay
wholly in the polygamous relation. 1t
was freely predicted that the Mormon
church would go to pieces on the de-
struction of the peculiar institution
The results have been a thorough dis
appointment.
Louisville Post: Jefferson especially
warned the people against all the en-
croachments of government on the do
main of the individual. The history of
the past century has been the greatest
chapter in civilization, because the in
dividual has for the first time had full
liberty and continent on which to ex-
pend himself. American history is
glorious, not because of government,
but because of the individual citizen.

forces thus quickened into activ-
tiles will thus abolish those
vices and crimes consequent up
on the 'inequitable distribution
of wealth and opportunity.
The increase in purchasing
power diminishes the profits of
labor, thus gradually and scien-
tifcally bringing the 1aborer up
to the power Of a free contract
ing party, and finally restore
him to the opportunity to sell
the product of his labor and be-
come free man.
The eight-hour philosophy
deals with men in the conditions
that surround them and lifts the
class Of wage-workers out of
wage conditions, and thus in
augurates, through peaceful
method, the new era of manhood
and womanhood emancipated
from economic slavery.
THE SILVER QUESTION.
The silver question was
brought up by the efforts Of the
conservatives to reverse the dec
laration of the last three con-
ventions. It was argued that
free coinage had become a politi-
cal question, and, therefore, had
no place in our plat
form. The sentiment seemed to
prevail, however, that this re-
form was one Of the Federation's
own. Our declaration thereon
ante-dated the platform of either
of the leading political parties,
and Delegate O'Connell, of the
International Machinists, put
the knife into the opposition at
a vital point by inquiring:
eff an eight hour plank were
inserted in some party's plat
form would we desert that re-
form?"
None of the anti-silverites
present had the temerity to at
tack the prosposition on it's
merits. The otestood 1915 for

Importance of the questions in

Importance OF Iuc queSI1OuS H.
volved.
The agitation for the reduc-
ton of the hours of labor COM
mencing at the dawn of the
nineteenth century, was largely
the inspiring cause of the organ
izations of labor in the trade
unions, and every subsequent
agitation Of this question has
resulted in the establishment of
new unions and an increase in
the membership and funds of the
old union.
The old ten-hour movement
was largely humanitarian. The
eight-hour movement is largely
economic. The trade-unions are
founded upon the basic principle
of the eight-hour philosophy. 1t
is a class movement. It is the
common ground upon which the
industrial and social forces of re-
form meet and fraternize. It is
the universal movement of hu-
manity. Wherever men and
women toll in congregated in
dustries and enterprises the
movement for shorter hours is
the slogan of their advancement.
The instinct of the wage-work-
ers, as manifest in the history of
the movement, shows that their
instinct of protection and ad-
vancement were wiser than the
theories of political economists.
Less hours of work has proved
to be the most effective method of
increasing the purchasing power
of a days work.
The philosophy or law of the
eight-hour movement can not be
too often repeated. The labor
ers having lost the power to sell
the products of their labor have
become wage-slaves, because they
are compelled to sell their labor
on time. The withholding of
time from the market of labor
increases the value of each hour
sold: distributes the hour of work
to those without work; increases

The evils that spring apparently
from immigration were charged
to the control by monopolies of
natural resources. Action on
the bill was referred to the exc
utive council.
Another rafting discussion
arose over the Erdman arbitra-
ton BILL. 1t was said to be the
work of Secretary Olney and
that in connection Herewith
were whole regiment ofcolored
men ensconced in the fuel supply.
The committee reported in favor
of6ghting the bill because it con-
tanned provisions that could be
used to make men work against
their wi1l-invo1untary servi-
tude, not only subversive of the
fundamental principles of our
government, but contrary to the
constitution. 1t was declared
that the right. to quit work at
any time was absolute and
inalienab1e. The bill was fina1lV

opinion on some of it's features,

elimination of Objectionable

One of the most pleasing feat
ures of the convention was the
presence of Messrs. Sam1 Woods
and John Mallinson, fraternal
delegates from the British Trades
union congress. Genial, hearty
gentlemen they were, who took
the most sympathetic and lively
interest in all the proceedings.
They made warm friends of
every delegate with whom they
came in contact, and as mark
of appreciation and friendship

Messrs. Woods and Mallinson

THE REVISED TARIFF.
Senators Have the Bill Nearly
Completed.
MANY REDUCTIONS WERE MADE.
Few Requests For Increases Granted.
Wool Men still Pressing For Radical
Changes Clause Modified.
Conferred with Senators on the Floor.

WASHINGTON, April 21.-The presence
on the floor of the senate of the mem
bers of the Republican sub. committee
of the senate finance committee, which
is engaged in preparing the tariff bill,
was made the basis of much specula-
ton. The members OF the committee
were closeted for time with Senator
Vest of the Democratic side of the
finance committee, and aftsrward held
individual conferences with other sena-
tors on both sides of the chamber.
1t was generally supposed that the
committee had reached point from
which the end OF its arduous work
could be dscerned, and that prepara-
ton was being made for full meeting
Of the committee This did not prove
TO be exactly true, but the visit was
made for the purpose of smoothing the
way for the final work. The commit
tee is approaching the end of its labors
and various senators, who are making
persistent demands for changes, were
called upon with q view to arriving at
an understanding.
Among the problems which are yet
unsettled are those relating to sugar,
lead ore and wool. Some senators have
manifested a disposition to hold out
persistently for certain notifications or
the schedules referring to these and
other articles. The members of the
committee, while not indicating their
own position or that of the committee,
have thought it well to talk over these
matters with the complaining senators.
They are anxious to bring in bill that
will command the united support OF
the Republican party and that Will be
sure to become law,
They think they will succeed, but
beyond this they said little, except that
they expect to report the bill to the full
committee some time next week. Ihe
committee say that none of the changes
will be announced until all are given to
the public.
Members of the committee told their
colleagues that many reductions have
| been made from beginning to end Of
| the bill, because of the belief on the
| part Cf the committee that some of the
| house rates would be prohibitive. They
have listened patiently to advocates OF
increases, but have granted few OF the
requests. One of the members said
that the bill would be revenue bill
and not a prohibitive bill. The com
mittee practically has agreed upon a
modification of the retroactive clause
of the Dingley bill, which it is hoped.

ors, Gustave Michelieu of Boston and
August Bolten, who asked of Spain
$4,000 indemnity each on account Of
their imprisonment for three weeks at
Santiago de Cuba. The sailors claimed
that they were shipwrecked on the coast
of Cuba Feb. rl6, 1894.
No charges were preferred against
them and after three weeks they were
released, one having contracted rheu-
matism in prison, the other yellow
fever. Their attorneys presented claims
to the state department and the case is
still pending, although Spain has twice
refused to pay indemnity, claiming that
the appearance of the sailors in a boat
without clearance papers, at about the
time of the first tlibustering expedi-
tions, warranted their arrest and that
the proceedings against them were the
shortest permitted by the laws; that
their statements did not agree and were
evidently false.
