THAT EIGHT HOUR BILL.

ABOUT the clSlI llOul DlllS HOW
pending before the Legislature.
There are three of them, two by
democrats and one by a republi-
can, Cation of Ada. Senator
Ballantine of Blaine. and Repre-
sentative Moore of Idaho, are
the fathers of the other two.
They are practically the same,
all designed to give the man who
works in underground mines an
eight hour day. The republican
leaders have objected to consid-
GRAFTON of measures, not because
they were opposed to granting
an eight hour day to any class OF
~Workmen in the state; or any
other concessions, but because,
in the opinion of many the acts
would be unconstitutional if pas
sed. AS a matter of precaution,
and in order that the democratic
plan of numbering the statutes
with unconstitutional dead laws
may not be, they urge that action
be deferred until the c~onstitu-
tional points involved can be
looked into. This is a very inter
esting question. The pending
bills are all based on authority
that it had been supposed was
granted by a constitutional
amendment adopted at the last
session. 1t was found, however,
that the constitutional provis-
ions covering the publication of
the proposed amendment in var
lonS papers over the state had
not been complied with. The
requirement is for six weeks pub
LEGATION, whereas they are pub
lished for various periods, from
three to five weeks. That vita
ties the amendment in the minds
of the best authorities here.
That being the case no law could
be enacted under the amendment
that would stand the test of the
courts. The republican leaders
of the legislature had action on
all the eight hour bills delayed
temporarily until these matters
could be looked into by compe-
tent authority. Then the demo-
Gratis thought they had discov-
cred something to make cam
paign thunder out of, and pro
ceeded to proclaim the republican
party antagonistic to the labor
ing men. Observation-Disclosures,
the republican leader on the
floor, taking their statements as
a text said: The republican
party has been, is now and al
ways will be the best friend of
the laboring men. Tot theyowe
their present prosperity. They
know it, and nodemocratic plat
itudeS nor distortion of the facts
will ever divert them from their
true friend. SO far as this eight
hour bill is concerned, [ desire
now to go on record publicly as
saying that | am in favor Of an
eight hour law and will work for
and voteforone when it is shown
to be a constitutional measure.
But am opposed to giving the
workmen of this state a piece of
legislation that will be of no
benefit to them. | refuse to at.
tempt to deceive them. They
nave been falr with the republi-
cans, and the republican party
proposes to deal fairly with
them. When we give them a
law it will amount to something.
1t will not be a lot of empty,
meaningless words"
1t would seem, in view of this
declaration, which represents
the views of the majority in the
legislature, that there can be no
doubt as to which party is the
true friend of the workingman
and which is endeavoring to eu-
list his sympathies through mis-
representation.

GEN. A. j. WARNER, of Ohio,

free silver and free coinage and
all the doctrines which thrived
in their atmosphere are dead is

''Increased gold production
has in a large measure brought
the relief which would have
come long before through free
silver. When increased gold
production brought the relief
bimetalists were as we'll salts
fed as if it had come through
silver. The silver question,
therefore, is a thing of the past,
except as an international ques.

pressing, and will not be as long
as the supply of gold keeps up.

An appeal from the city of Boston to

terday. According to the representa-
lions made to the department. Boston
Har5or is full Of vessels containing coal
but all the docks at which there is deep
enough water to permit these vessels
to unload are congested with other bust
ness.
It was suggested to the department
that the GOLFERS be permitted to dis
embark their supplies at the docks OF
the Boston Navy Yard Rear Admiral
n. l. Johnson, the commandant of the
yard, was asked for an opinion as to
this suggestion. ard he informed the de-
paTtment that it would Re uuwise to
grant the request, as heavy coaI-laden
wagons would ruin the roadways in the
naval reservation He suggested. how
ever. that the Golfers could come along
side three available docks at the yard
and transfer heir cargoes to lighters
which could carry the coal to wharves
where the water was not deep
