The labor departments report on

some interesting sta tistics of the eight

that some 1900 people secured the short

ciable falling back on the part of those
who already enjoyed it. During the
four years from 1892 to 1896 the eight
hour day has been extended to Sc, 223
workpeople, of which number 1121 are
known to have since reverted to their
former hours of labor.
There are 45,421 eight-hour men in
the employment of public authorities,
and the rest are made up of 553 iron
workers, 500 steel workers, $40 brass

ADOPTED A NEW PLAN.

It seems that the question of
state aid to higher education is
assuming a new shape The
following taken from the Kins.
ton Free Press says that those
who are enemies to the ULiver.
sity have adopted a new plan Of
operation. 1t is as follows:
"The anti-state aid to the
University movement takes a
new shape now. II is masked
under a demand for a -four
months term of the public
schools. The plan is to try tc
force the Legislature to act OIL
the matter early in its sessie n.
and appropriate every cent, tt
the limit, on the common
schools. Thsn the University,
state normal school, ETC., would
have 70 shift for themselves.
The result would be that North
.rolina boys who wished Q
University education would
have to leave the state. II woult
mean that farmers and me.
g .anics' sons who wished 6
practical education couldn'tge'
it in North Carolina, because il
1unid abolish the Agriculture
and Mechanical college, one Of
the very best institutions in th,
Union. Il would mean a long
step TO the rear in the making
of big, broad, bralny and full,
developed men in North Caro-
lima"

New York's Greatest scene.

Dew York's famous thorough,
fare, Broadway, has been the scene
of some wonderful events. Butthe
one scene which still stands as the
most remarkable, in point Of en-
thusiasm, is Louis Kossuth's
famous ride up Broadway, in
1851. Kossuth had already seen
and passed through a crowd Of
5000 people in his triumphal
ride up the great thoroughfare.
The eliminating moment, how
ever, occurred when tie great
Hungarian patriot reached the
corner of Broadway and Ann
Street. The sight that burst upon
him staggered him for the mo
ment. In the open square di-
rectly before him was massed to-
gether a quarter of a million Of
people, and when this vast con
course broke into united cheer
Kossuth was fairly bewildered.
No man saw this great event so
we'll and advantageously as did
Parke Goodwin, the veteran New
Yo.k editor, and Kossuth's closest
friend in America. Mr.. Goodwin
was with Kossuth, and for the
fi. / tine he now tells the story Of
the marvellous event in the Feb
ruary Ladies Home Journal. The
actual scene at Ann Street will
also be shown in picture by De
Thulstrup, showing Kossuth in
his carriage as the great - ne
burst upon him.

A PATHETIC SPEECH.

Although the House killed the
Pacific Railroad funding bill by
an overwhelming majority, il
showed its sympathy for one ofthe
lead..g advocates Of that bill by
ordering speech stricken from.,the
Record which had been inserted
under the leave-to-l,rint rule by
Representative Mcguire, Of Cali
fornia, and which contained re-
ferences to the indictment Of Rep
fesentative Johnson, of California,
in Syracuse, N. T., more than
thirty years ago for forgery; aud
emphasis was added by the refusal
of the House to order Representa-
tive Johnson's speech, in which
he made a very bitter attack on
William r. Hearst, stricken from
the Record. This action was taken
by the House after Mr.. johnson
had made one ofthe most pathetic
speeches ever made in Congress,
acknowledging that lie bad been
indicted in New York and giving
details Of his going to California
and working to regain his good
name and to repay the money, in
both Of which objects he showed
that he had succeeded. There
were tears in tbe eyes gilmore than
one man on the floor Of the House
when Mr.. johnson said in his
speech: "I tell this To show what
I am not ashamed Of my life, that
I have not concealed this blot

MAY DEFEAT THE TisEAIY.

According to present appear
ances, a combination Of dlplo
matte opposition, personal feel
ing, and small politics may en-
danger. if not actually prevent,
the ratification of the arbitra-
tion treaty between the United
States and Great Britain, which
was signed by representatives
of both governments and sent
to the senate last week. In
view of the known sentiment Of
the country in favor Of the arbi.
tration of international differ
ences, it was supposed that the
senate would promptly ratify
the treatv. 1t was known of
course, that the diplomatic re-
presentatives Of European coun-
tito; especially Russia. would
like 10 re this treaty fail, but
twas not supposed that thes
would dare to engage in intri-
que to bring about its failure;
but they are doing that very
thing. And the personal feel
ing of senators against Secre-
tary Olney because of the posi-
tion he maintains concerning
the power of the president in
recognizing new nations is help
ing them, and the small politics
of those Republican senators
who are willing that the treaty
shall be jeopardized or even lost
entirely rather than to see tiis
administration get any credit
for having brought it about is
doing likewise. This situation
is not creditable to the senate.
but it exists all the same.
