a NATIONAL EIGnT-HouR LAW.

Ever since manufacturing indus
tries began to be developed in the
United States. New England has taken
the lead in fostering them. In the
same section organized labor has been
to considerable extent successful In
the struggles 1t has engaged in for
the attainment of its leading objects.
1t has succeeded in securing better
wages for mill operatives and other
kinds of toiiers. and has firmly estab-
lished the eight-hour system.
During recent years, however. some
of the southern states have made vast
strides in the development of textile
industries. thereby coming into direct
and powerfc' competition with the New
England manufacturing centers,and in
this great commercial and industrial
contest the southern manufacturer has
the advantages that naturally accrue
to him from the imperfect organization
Of the working classes, and particular
ly from the long working day, which
has not been curtailed by legislation.
In the south the number of hours
which the employer may require his
operatives to remain at work in order
to earn days pay is not limited by
law, nor are the operatives organized
well enough TO force an increase in
their wages. In New England, how
ever, eight-hour laws prevail, and
labor Is so well organized as to be able
to maintain wages that are considera-
bly, higher than are paid in the south.
The result is that the southern manu-
facturer can undersell his northern
competitor, and the mill operatives Of
New England are suffering in conse-
quence.
| This condition of affairs has given
rise to an agitation in favor of an
amendment to the national constitu-
ton which shall authorize Congress &c
| regulate the hours OF labor in all the
states in the Union. AS a matter oil
course the proposition originated in
Massachusetts. Representative Lover
ing of that state has introduced a bill
into the present Congress looking to
such an amendment to the national
| charter. Similar bills We're introduced
| by Massachusetts congressman at each
of the four preceding Congresses. and
Mr.. Coverings measure is being cordi-
ally endorsed by the cotton manufac-
turers of the northeastern statcs.

master of the situation and as much like
veteran as possible. Blueton, who would be
widely known by his real name is a new BEN

ton at the telephone:
"Send me up a pound of carpet tacls.

what Was Wanted of a Girl in One
Household.
The hired girl out of a job cast her eagle
eye over the want notices of the newspaper.
Wanted, Wanted, Wanted, she read in
one or two-Ene ads, straight down the col
umn, shaking her head at intervals as if
disappointed in her search. Finally her
face lightened as she saw loaded notice
in another column of more pretensions than
its fellows
She turned to it and read eagerly. Then
she threw the paper from her

"Read that" and she gathered up the
sheet and handed it over to the other one,
who read this notice:

cHIDED HER MOTHERS SPIRIT.
Practical Young Woman Didn't want
to BE Aroused at Night.

Kansas City has at least one young mar
Ted woman who takes a very prosac view
of ghosts and so-called spirit manifestations.
She was forced to spend night alone in a
st. Louis hotel her husband being detained
elsewhere by business. In the dead of the
night she was awakened out of a sound sleep
by tremendous noise in the wardrobe 1t
was such a sudden and unearthly uproar
that the woman, sensible and practical
though she was, was frightened. The noise
ceased, then returned. The woman jumped
up, lighted the gas, and made thorough
search both of the wardrobe and the room.
There was nothing so far as the evidence of
the senses went which could account for the
racket. The woman put out the light and
went back to bed. The noise was not re.
peated.
Six months afterward, however, the
woman was in San Francisco, and for the
first time in her life, and solely out of GU
riosity, she attended Spirituaistic meet
ing Almost Immediately the medium, a
perfect stranger, turned to her and said:
The spirit of your mother is present, mad.
am, and she says that six months ago mann.
ing the precise date) she tried to communi.
cate with you by means of the wardrobe in
the Blank hotel, st, Louis"
The woman's practical good sense did not
desert her.
well, you just tell my mother" she said
that the next time she wants to communi
cate with me not 10 make such anawful rack
ct in the dead of night and brighten me hall

Between Two BLACK Men on a Dark
Night.
AT rare intervals the moon peeped
through the pillows of a sea of 1eecy
clouds and cast sickly beams across the
path of a form which was walking slowly
and steadily in a country graveyard The
figure stole furtive gances about him as
he crept to the grave of a man who had
died on the gallows on Friday. just as the
clock was toling the midnight hour the
form fell PROSTATE on the grave, uttering
not sound. Almost in an instant the
figure arose. Taking a knife from his
pocket, he made single, rapid cut, and
turned to leave the place. A moonbeam
revealed a look of ghoulish glee on his
countenance.
"IIalt!"
The figure stopped.
''Who goes there"
'Jist a poah niggah"
The figures met and the lanterns flash
discloses the identity of the men.
