TUE EIGHT-HOUR LAW AM GOVKHS-
MEAT EMPLOYES.
Sehatok Wiwon pns recently addressed n L i
ter to the Secretary of War, cK.inilnInlu&( of the
constriction put tir-on the Eljrht-hour law pasncd
by Congress. He quotes the views expres-cd v
Tarious Senators when the law was under con
sideration, to prove that they understood thenul
Intent and incuuinir of the- net to lie, that all
laboreni.'workmen, and mechanics employed l.v
n. nwirnmpnt should ht neeforth receive for
eight hours' work per day tin- wape- which have j
heretofore been paid for teu hours' work. But!
he fails to make out his cue. The question in
dispute was referred first to Attornoy-lieui rul j
Evarts, and subsequently to his successor, Attor- j
tier-Genera Hoar, and they united iu the '
opinion that an act wttina; forth that the wapes
of Government employes shall he regulated Ly
theamotuitof waiOf paid for similar work in pri
vate WUblis.hmentrt remains unrepealed. Tuedis
bursingofficcrsare bound by this law, despite, any
loose opinions or buncombe speeches delivered in
Cither branch ol t.'oiifrrcci by spread-eaijle ora
tors. If they really mea id to ordain thai the :
Government ihould pay to it laborers, work
men, and mechanic m much money for cbrht :
hours' work as other cmploym paid for ten
hours' work, that fact should have been dis
tinctly and unequivocally ct forth, and they
should have embodied iu a definite law ihe
opinions which, iu Senator Wilson's judgment.
they entertained. The late act of Congress said
but one thing eight hours' toil shall constitute j
a legal day's work for Government employes. A ;
previous act, still in force, said: Government i
officials shall pay the ruling price for labor and j
no more. The heads of departments being !
bound to obey both laws, us well as they can.
have no right to Ignore the old act. in the
manner indicated, before it is repealed by C'on
gress. A similar question has arisen In all the States
where legislator have sought popularity by
passing eight-hour laws. It may be entirely
within their province to diminish the nominal
period of toil, and to euaet that, in the absence
of special agreements, it shall be understood
that eight hours shall constitute a working day.
The authority to do this U analogous to the au
thority to regulate weights ami measure. They
may say, if they choose, that a stick twenty
four inches long shall be called a yard, or that a
measure holding only a quart shall be called a
gallon. But it by no mean follows that the
price paid for a new twenty-four inch yard of
muslin bhall be the same as that heretofore given
for a tUirty-slx-inch yard of the same fabric: or
that any law will compel purchasers to pay for a
new so-called gallon of molasses, equivalent in
fact to only a quart of the present measurement,
the same amount of money w hich is now paid
for the existing gallon: or that employers will
willingly and necessarily pay for eight hours'
work the amount of money now paid for teu
hours' toil, simply because a Legislature or Con
gress chooses to say that a day's work shall be
measured by an eight-hour rule.
Prices are regulated by supply and demand, iu
Spite of legal enactments; and It is folly, or
worse than folly, to seek to delude workingmen
with the pleasing fancy that any action of dema
gogues bidding for their sweet voices, or even of
the most profound statesmen, will ensure . for
eight hours' toil the same amount of remunera
tion which has heretofore been given for ten
hours' work. It may be true that in individual
cases and in special pursuits, men by working
eight hours per day will accomplish as much iu
a week as if they had worked ten hour per day.
But this rule is by no means universal: it is
scarcely general; and there are many avocation
in which it is utterly impossible to compensate,
by extra exertion, for the, loss of time.
If the laboring classes sincerely desire to have
the legal period of toil reduced to eight hour?,
let them be gratified. But this desire Is by no
means general. Those who are most pertina
cious and active in their agitation of this sub
ject aim at the establishment of an eight-hour
labor system in conjunction with ten-hour pay.
This end is totally impracticable. Congress can,
if it chooses, establish such a rule in the Gov
ernment service, but, despite the asseverations
of Senator Wilson, it has not yet done so:. and
even if the nation sets the example, it will not
be followed more readily than the other exam
ples which are too often set in the public service.
of paying employes more. mney than they
earn.
Our Washington correspondent informs us
that a good deal of Chinese thunder is being
manufactured at the national capital against
Secretary Borie and Attorney-General Hoar,
because they have choben to adhere to the laws
passed by Congress instead of being guided by
the loose opinions of Senators. He states
that politicians "regard Boric' order n
a great blunder, and they assert that,
if it is not revoked, it will tend to
array the workingmen against the administra
tion all over the country, and defeat the Repub
lican party at the fall elect ious." We entertain
no such fears. The day has gone by when
Intelligent workingmen can be misled by such a
ridiculous clamor. The Cabinet officers have
elmply discharged their duty, and nothing more.
Congress might have ordained that workmen
aud mechanics should be paid fifty dollars per
day but it did not, nor did it declare explicitly
that the current pay given In private establish
ments for ten hours' work should be doled out
to Government mechanics aud workmen for
eight hours' work, tiuch an invidious distinc
tion Is, In fact, properly forbidden by law, and
no secretary has a right to violate a "statute for
tneoenentoi any class, whether It be million
aires or mechanics.
If Congress has committed n blunder In
neglecting to repeal a law which it does not de
sire the administration to enforce, the error can
be corrected at the next sessiou, nnd Senator
Wilson will find a legitimate field for his exer
tions in this direetiou. But it is vain to expect
t President who has clearly announced his in
tention to execute the laws as they are, to set at
defiance an explicit statute on account of any
words spoken in debate.
The speeches of Senators aud Congressmen
may mean much or nothing. It is impossible
o decide when they arc talking for buncombe
iad when they are serious. If their object was
o win cheap popularity by pretending to favor
the elKht-hour movement, without being; willing
to take the responsibility of Imposing additional
burdens upon Che. Trcury, they h!ve attained
it, but they have iio right to expect 'be adminis
tration to iguore a law which My fulled or re
fused to repeal.
Their action, on its face, however, means
simply that eight hoins' work ah all constitute r
day's labor; nnd in Having the question of wages
to be regulated by ;re-exisUng law? or the cur
rent prices paid in prh ate establishments, they
followcd in the foot -tcps of the authors of the
eight-hour laws hi the various Stales, and while
they may Jiave awakened false hopes, they have
not Ignored the obvious fact that demand and
supply must rcgubitc the price of al) purchasable
commodities.
JA' FA VOH OF FREE CUP-A.
PoKMni.r we might, after diligent sesrcli, find
one person out of a aund red whose heart does
not sympathize -vitii evety nation or people
struggling to be free, and "t is just about that
proportion of the American people who arc not
well-wishers of Cuba. It has not been centuries
since our own forefathers were 'struggling to
gain liberty. The du;-t of ages has not had time
to settle upon all the traditional sympathies of
that em. and to hide from public gaze the warm
sensibilities of our people for the oppressed.
Time and time nsrain has it sprung forth. Greece
received through the eloquence of Clay
a tribute which aided her in her struggle. Hun
gary had our moral aid, and her patriotic sons,
wheu defeated, found u refuge here. Poland
was to us as u twin sister, and we sympathize
with every movement on her part. And we have had
in later times eases nearer home. Mexico not only
received our professions of support, but we gave
the foretan invader to understand that it was
only because of our own war that we were pre
vented from aiding with :ni army our neighbor.
To-day Cuba is engaged in a struggle for free
dom, and the same ready sympathy heretofore
extended to others i- offered to her. But we
hope that our aid w ill take a more practical
bhirpc than mere expression of good feeling.
Our hands are not tied to-day. We have no in
testine foe to check us in all our actions. We
can act as our hearts dictate, and uecd fear no
evil. Because nl! the people wish it, and be
cause it is soundest policy to do what the people
wish, we urge the recognition of the Cubans by
the authorities of the United States. It is a mat
ter of feeling, it is a matter of sound policy, and
one which is called for by the laws of nations
and of Christian charity. We will cite a few ob
vious reasons why Cuban recognition as bellige
rents i- jut and proper.
First. It is sound .policy on the part of the
United .States to secure success to the Cuban in
surgents. We are in the habit of talking loosely
about Cuban independence. There can be no
such thing as Cuban independence. Cuba freed
from Spain nu-aim Cuba annexed to the United
Slates. Without costing us a cent for pur
chase, the long-coveted island will become our
own. Does any one suppose that u nation could
be maintained on Cuban soil ? lias it ever been
known that an Island of that size did establish
and maintain a free government r No such
a thing has ever been iu the past, nor do
we see any reason tor supposing that any social
miracle will make Cuba an exception. It is,
therefore, to our selfish interests to aid the in
surgents. We thereby secure a territory which,
in the days of Jefferson, would have taken from
our pockets 10,000.H)0. and which would
be cheap at UHi.0(Ht,(KtO to-day,- aud
at the same time we rid ourselves of ono of the
European powers on this side of the Atlantic.
It has ever been our settled policy to seek to
free the New World from the presence of the
monarchical governments of Europe, and now
is a rare and convenient ehanceiffordcd. Fate
certainly is propitious. The decayed relics of
prejudice and cruelty which constituted the
Spanish monarchy have fallen beneath their own
weight. Instead of a republic there will be
erected iu its place a more vigorous monarchy.
At prosent Spain is iu transition, and no
Spaniarn can tell whether he is a loyal sub
ject or a traitor. Now, then, is our time. A
judicious recognition would bean invaluable ser
vice to the struggling Cubans, would do much
to secure their ultimate success uud to
bring about their speedy annexation to
our native laud. If no othor raasou existed,
policy aloue woidd call for recognition.
Second. There should be n recognition accorded
them for the sake of a common humaulty. We
hear comparatively little Of the treatment
which the Spaniards meted out to the rebels,
but we hear enough of it to shock our moral
sensibilities. We hear of their being shot down
on capture we hear of their being transported
to Fernando Po, a perfect fever-bed of disease
and death we know that thev arc treated like
animals, not like men: and, knowing this, it is
our duty to shield them. A recognition as bel
ligerants from a weak power is a very little
thing. t It does not much matter whether Bel
gium thinks a people ought to have the rights
of belligerent or not. But a recognition from
a great power is u very great thing. Until the
recognition comes, no United States man-of-war
can harbor, or receive, or in any way acknow
ledge the exlsteuce of the rebels. They must see
theui shot down or hung up, without power to
aid or rescue them. But when a recognition is
accorded, and a man-of-war is in every port,
there will be a material check to these murders
under the title of justice. Recognition means
protection to the helpless and a check to bar
barity. Third. The people of the United States want
a recognition of Cuban independence. It Is
always a good thing and a safe aud wise thing
for a government to follow the wishes of the
great masses of its citiz.cns, and we do not sup
pose that any one will question that a recogni
tion by the United States of Cuba would be re
ceived with great joy from ocean to ocean. The
voice of the people is the voice of God, aud they
are to-day asking this action from General Grant.
We believe that it will come, and that right
speedily. The theory of the administration is
that the w ill of the people is the law of land,
and we believe that that will, so clearly ex
pressed by the House of Representatives, and so
.universally echoed by the journals of the coun
try, will speedily secure the desired palicy in
regard to our struggling neighbor.

Tu-, Sooioly for the Krectlon of Public Drink
ing FoMnUins has entered upon a work of prac
tical usefulness and i tnl charity, which is enti
tled to the encouragement and liberal support of
tje cUi'-ens of Philadelphia. The amount of
stifle ring which is caused jot onlyduriug the
excessive heat of summer, but at all seasous of
he year, for NiC ViMit of fountains where men
fti.d beasts can alike quench their tbirnt, cannot
be estimated. The four-footed animals re
o'jilged to suffer in eib uce, while men who
would be sstisfied with pure, cool wster are fre
quently driven to drinking saloons and forced to
quench their thirst with spirituous liquors, even
against their own inclinations. The erection of
public drinking fountains in all sections of the
city is a movement iu favor of temperance,
which will accomplish more beneficial results
thon all the speeches, tracts, and sermons that
wero ever w ritten or spoken against the vice of
drunkenness.
In most of the European cities there are public
fountains, rich in architectural ornaments and
adorned with sculpture and graceful gothie
tracery which delight the eye of the beholder,
while they pour forth a constant and unceasing
supply of water for the benefit of all who choose
to partake. There is no reason why such a city
as Philadelphia should not be ornamented with
similar monuments, but at present it will sufliec
if we have an abundance of plain, unpretending
fountains which will furnish nil the water that
is needed, even if they do not delight the eye by
their artistic beauty.
At a meeting held last evening at the residence
of Dr. Swoun, that gentleman stated that at one
of the drinking fountains recently erected in
London five thousand persons were seen to drink
in n single day, and at. another where three
jets are constantly (lowing more than eight
thousand persons were known to drink in the
same space of time. These facts arc sulllclcnt
to demonstrate the great usefulness of the foun
tains, which, in our sultry summer weather,
will bo even more beneficial than they arc in
London.
The Fountain Society needs money to carry on
its good work, and It is to be hopetl that the
benevolent citizens of Philadelphia will respond
liberally to the appeal for aid that is made for
the purpose of enabling the society to carry out
in thcinost liberal manner the purposes of its
foundation. The fountains when erected should
bo placed under the special guardianship of the
police, and the penalties for defiling and muti
lating thein should be severe. Dr. Swann stated
as a remarkable fact that In London no Injury had
been sustained by any one of the fountains a
proof that the objects of the society which
erected them were appreciated by the entire
community. .The same feeling of respect and
gratitude will doubtless animate a very large
majority of the people of this city; but there are
always a few in every large community so de
praved as to take delight In wanton mischief of
this kind ; nnd in case of any injury to the
fountains, a prompt and severe punishment
should be visited upon the evil-doer.
QrtTE Satisfactory. In a speech in the
Senate on April 22, Sprague introduced his illus
tration about the mastiff and the moigrel-puppy
in a paragraph commencing thus: "In answer
to the tirade of the Senator from Nevada and the
Senator from North Carolina." In his explana
tory lettor of yesterday, however, he states that
the paragraph in question was written before
Senator Abbott "participated in the debate !"
When a man "returns to his vomit" in this style,
it is not surprising that nobody wi-hes to push
him closer to the wall.
