a formal letter from Frank Morrison,
secretary Of the American Federation
Of Labor, denying that President Com

election. The letter states that while
Mr.. Buchanan in reply to "Labor IS
Bill of Grievances went on record as
favoring a strict enforcement Of the
eight-hour Jaw on government work, his
vote was cast in favor of abrogating

This resolution is understood to have
been resorted to because one member of
the board has pursued policy conspic:
uously in opposition to the spirit OF
this declaration Mr.. Rosing has been
actively engaged in politics for some
time and the question occurred to 6
good many when he was appointed te
the board of control whether he would
be able to lay aside politics to the ex
tent which the proprieties. require Of {
member Of the board. It appears, how
ever, that he has not been able to do so
that he has kept up an active Interest
in and participation in politics and. i
is claimed, has used his office facilities
and time belonging to the state in pc
litical work. However, the publication
of these resolutions and the direction
of the attention of the people of tn:
state to this matter is expected to nf
feet a reform on his part.

sLoucHEo HATS.
They Once Caused . Riot Win Great
Loss Of Life In Spain.


Has not some one calculated that
sixth part of the memoirs of st.
Simon in the original is occupied
with the controversy whether or not
the president OF parliament should
wear his hat or put ii on the desk
when performing various functions Z
At length the matter was compro-
missed. The Tiers-etat should wear
chapeau rabattu. which had the
slouched brim pinned up This
childish quarrel was remembered,
no doubt, when the states general
met and the king harangued them.
His speech over. he put on his hat,
and the noblesse did likewise, ac-
cording to their privilege. The com
mons had no such claim but they
also clapped on their chapeaux ra-
battus, amid ferce protests from the
mobiles. The revolution might have
begun that day with scrimmage in
the kings presence had he not re-
moved his own hat, when all, of
course, did the same.
But slouchcd hats had already
caused a riot in Spain, which lasted
so long and cost so manly lives that
it might almost be termed civil
war. This was twenty years earlier.
Charles Ill. thought them untidy.
He thought the streets of his capital
untidy also and denounced both
eyesores in an edict. Every Span
lard henceforIh must pin up his
Topping brim, and every household
er of Madrid must clean the street
opposite his premises. Forthwith
the people rose. They were little in
terested comparatively in the street
cleaning, but they would die for
their hats. And a good many of
them did, but not mavenged. More
than week the fray lasted, but it
was thought remarkable by foreign
observers that at 2 p. III. regularly
the soldiers piled arms, the furious
citizens withdrew and silence reign
ed for one hour. Both parties were
enjoying The siesta except perhaps
the wounded. After that interval
they recommended The king fled.
and for the rest of his life he never
returned to Madrid willingly. In
fact, it was understood he designed
to make Seville the capital hence
forth and only gave up the project
when his ministers showed him what
vast sum he had already spent on
The new palace. SO mighty may be
the influence of the hat in state af-
fairs. Finally the king compro-
missed lie Withdrew his edict so
far as the realm at large was con-
cerned. Within the walls of Mad
rid every man must wear his brlm
pinned up, but outside he was at lib
erty TO let it slouch. But the police
courts did not cease to be busy until
The fashion changed. - st. James
