!: THE WAGE GARNER 0$


The people love a fearless champion Of
their cause, and will give a willing sup
port, both morally and financially, 20
such an agency of reform. The AdvO-
cate and News has proved Itself power
full agency for good in the exposure Of the
methods of corruption, coercion and op-
preston Of the evil forces that are gnaw-
ing at the vitals of our economic life,
and will lead to better understanding
among the people, no doubt resulting in
remedial legislation In the future, and at
the same time arousing In the minds Of
our people the desire for higher stand
ard in our American craftsmanship, and
a more representative government. Ed
ucatiOn among the masses and true
knowledge Of actual conditions is the
keynote to a higher civilization. Con-
tinue the good work and you will merit
the appreciation of every liberty-loving
citizen in our State.
Yours very truly,

Geo. B. Harrison & Co., Editors The Ad-
vocate and News. Topeka, Kas.:
Gentlemen: II have been greatly in
terested in the admirable work of the
Advocate and News in giving to the peo-
pie Of this State leading reform paper,
worthy, In every way, of their coop
Grafton and support. You are especially
to be congratulated upon the success Of
your departmental work, t. e., In giving
recognition to the interests and welfare
of the various classes Of citizens OF which
our State Is composed. The bold and
fearless manner of championing the
cause of labor and humanity which has
characterized the course OF the Advocate
and News calls for hearty endorsement
from every one who loves fair play and
equal rights for all. All fair-minded
citizens must agree that as a moulder Of
public opinion newspaper should stand
for the right and strive to build up
sentiment Of higher regard for and a
truer understanding Of popular govern
ment, that the rights Of the people may
not be infringed upon, but exercised to
the fullest extent. To do this requires
energy, nerve and determination, the
espousal of principles and measures
rather than the endorsement of mep.

The Eight Hour Law.

The Mobile Register calls attention to
= successful experiment. in the eight
hour day which proves all that has been
claimed for it by its warmest advocates.
1.-THE experiment in the working OF the
eight-hour day" says our contemporary,
has been made by the Short Bros, Gov
erinV seven years, and the firm now an
nounces that it is we'll satisfied with
the results. During the seven years
there have been good times and bad and
trade difficulties in the usual number.
The Workmen do more work than they
formerly did, do 1t better and last better
under IL. The firm reasons 80 follows;
On the old system Is or 90 par cent OF
the men working on time wages lost the
hrst quarter of the day, while the piece
men scarcely ever started before $3.50
The men started at 8 o'clock, stopped 81
& for half an hour for breakfast had an
otber interval OF half an hour at noon,
and the days work was finished at B
The conditions werO such that many
wOrkmen we're physically incapable OF
enduring the long hours. 1t was then
quite common for 3 man with "a shil'
liugs a week TO lose, on an average three
quarter days a week, because he was IN
able to rise every morning at 9 O'Clock
and work full time. From 10 TO 20 per
cant OF the men never started to work
,ill after the first quarter had been lost.
Under the new system, In which forty
eight hours constitute weeks work.
the men eat their breakfast before be-
ginning work. The working day begins
At 1880, and the men 60 on with only ono
break until o'clock. They are able to
do more work this way than under the
old system, and At the same time more
work IL got out Of the machines, the re-
aults being an increased output and
decreased cost Short Bros. do not say
that all kinds OF industrial establish
meuts can be a. successfully run on the
eigbt-hour system. Their report is not
put out as an argument for that system
It 10 simply q statement of the results
of their own experiment, continued foI
seven years, and an expression OF theiI
entire satisfaction with those results
The document is attracting much atten'
tion among English employers especial
ly in ship yards" The more the eight
hour plan is Investigated the deeper i'm
preston it makes on public favor. The
old method Of working labOrers like gal
ley slaves would not do now. and in
few years it will be found that more
than eight honrs' work will be an ex'
ception. II the planters Of the South
had lAbored eight hours a day instead OF
twelve or hfteen, they would find them
selves much better of than they are at
present in more ways than One.-oom'

LORENA.

The years roll slowly by, LoFenA,
The snow is on the grass again;
The suns low down the sky, LOrena,
The frost CLEANS where the hOWoEs
have been:
But aha heart beats on as warmly now
As when the summer days we're nigh;
The sun viii never dip so low
Adown A3eotiOn's olOudleas sky.
A hundred months have passed, LOrena,
Since last clasped your hand In mine,
And felt your pulse beat fast Lorona,
But mine beat faster far than thine;
A hundred mOnths--'twas fOw'ring May
When up the billy slope we climbed,
To watch the dying OF the day.
And hear she village church bells
ehimed.
We loved each other then, LorenA,
More than we ever dared 70 telli
And what we might have been, Lorena,
Had but our loving prOSpeFed we'll!
But all Is past, those years have nOWni
I'll not call back their shadowy forms;
I'll say to those lost years, sleep on
Sleep on, nor heed iife's pelting storms,
The story of the past, Lorena,
Alasl care not to repeat;
The hopes that could not last, Lorena,
They lived, but only lived TO cheat
would not cause, then, one regret
To rankle IN your bosom now;
For 'if we try we may forget"
Were words Of thine long years ago.
Yes, these were words of thine, LOrens,
They burn within my bosom yet,
They touch some tender cord, Lorena,
That thrills and trembles with regret.
Twas not thy wOman's heart that spoke
Thy heart was always true to me,
A duty, stern and pressing, broke
The tie that linked thy soul with me
It matters little now, LOrena,
The past is in the eternal past;
Our heads will soon lie low, LOrenA,
Lies tide is ebbing out SO fast.
There is . future-0 thank God,
OF life this is so small q part
IT'S dust to dust beneath the SOD,
But there, up there, It's heart TO heart
