The Eight Hour Question.

Several days ago at hearing before the
House Committee on Labor, Representa-
tive Warnock Of Ohio asked question of
Samuel Gompers president of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor. which elected
the reply that Gompers favored a law
preventing a man from working more than
eight hours day except where necessary
TO preserve life and property.
Il asked that question" said Repre-
sentative Warnock, because | was curl
Gus to know to what extent Mr.. Gompers
proposed the law should go. am hearth
ly in sympathy with the cause of labor
and believe that it needs protection
whereas capital can usually take care of
itself. But would not like to handicap a
laboring man by preventing him from
working as many hours a day as he wished.

days work on its contracts to any num-

Testimony has been produced before
the committee to show that many work

their homes out of money made by over
time work. OF course the eight hour law
would cost the Government considerable
money, If the hopes of the labor repre-

To Succeed Representative Moody.

Senator Lodges SON law, Augustus
p. Gardner, of Massachusetts, is a candi-
date for Representative to Congress from
the Sixth Massachusetts district. This
district is the one which Mr.. Moody has
long represented, and which he now gives
up to become Secretary of the Navy. The
sub-basement gossip in the Senate wing
of the Capitol is that Mr. Moody was
given the Cabinet position in order that
he might make way for Senator Lodges
SON in-law. But such gossip does not
mean anything in particular. Two days
ago the story in the same quarters was
that Mr.. Moody and Mr.. Lodge are re-
lated, but this is not true.
Another candidate for the same district
is the present Ambassador to Italy, Mr..
George V. L. Meyer, it is said and some
people familiar with Massachusetts, poll
tics believe that Mr.. Meyer will be sue
cessful and not Mr.. Gardner.

Max Twum and Himself.

Mark Twain Is so well known by
his pseudonym that people frequently
address him as Mr.. Twain, until his
identity has assumed a sort of Jekyll-
and Hyde duality, and he doesn't
know himself whether he is Mark
Twain or Samuel Clemens. 1t remain
ed for the ever-ingenious office boy to
carry the dual identity theory to its
utmost development. Mr.. Clemens
called at publishing house. but the
man he wanted to see was absent. To
make sure that his visit should be re-
ported, and having no card with him,
he gave both his names to the office
boy. This was the latter's report to
his superior:
"Mr. Clemens was here. He said he
wanted to see Mark Twain

Not Dismayed by Methuen's Defeat.

Il do not consider the capture of Lord
Methuen by the Beers of any more ulti-
mate Importance than the capture of
private soldier said Rev. G. W. Han
ford, of London. England. at the Raleigh.
When people Of Anglo-Saxon stock
meet reverses the effect is only TO i'm
bue them with greater determination. The
history both of England and the United
States shows this conclusively. There
will be no patching Up of peace with the
Beers. but England will go forward with
additional resolution to establish her
sovereignty in the Transvaal. The war
can have but one end, and this recent
disaster to our army, while deplerable,
makes no difference in the long run.
Il can tell you. moreover. that English
men are practically unit in regard to
the justice of their cause. The attempt
to make it appear that there is great
feeling against carrying on the war should
deceive no one. The element in Great
Britain that criticises and condemns the
Government is not native to the soil and
does not voice the true sentiment of the
people"

A Hint for Pullman Porters.

St Louis Star-That $4,000 tip given
20 a Pullman car porter by New York
woman ought to act as an incentive TO
better service on the part of the porters,
at least. Courtesy always pays, and no
telling how soon some other rich traveller
may turn up q set of well-worn toes
and leave a fortune to the porter who un-
derstood the value OF kindness in con-
junction with faithful service.

He would not only have been warmly
welcomed but would have carried home
with him an idea of a State of magnificent
distances.
He would have found a single Com
monwealth of this nation whereon the
whole of Germany could be placed, with
a considerable margin to spare. He would
have seen cotton lands capable OF cloth
ing every subject of his royal brother;
enough corn and wheat fields to feed
them; enough oil flowing in a day to op-
crate every factory in the German En-
pire for a year.
He would have seen, moreover, the
homes of several millions of prosperous
and happy freemen, opposed on principle
to the kingly system. but too polite to
scoff at it in his presence. He would
finally have seen thousands of people of
German descent who migrated from the
Fatherland to the broad prairies for the
express purpose of getting away from
Emperors and princes, and who have
never ceased to be glad because of their

Of trees means serious injury TO the ag-
ricuItural interests that have already felt
the hurt of reckless forest destruction.
THE subject has for years been re-
garded as of the greatest Importance in
Germany, where, when a tree is cut down,
another must be planted in its place.
Our National Government has done
well to reserve something like $4,000. 900
acres OF wooded lands. and Congress will
do wisely to set apart additional tracts.
The devastation wrought by foods upon
districts from which the timber has been
taken is very noticeable in Spain, and
the time has come when we must guard
against damage from the same source"
