Let the 8 hour strikers bear in mind, that by cutting the figure through the middie nanght remains on either side. sn A A Sr ——— Hon. Thomas M. Marshall is not en- chanted at the bill of fare the Republi can bosses hold out for this year. He denominates Mr. Beaver “as very small notatoes.” but will be satisfied with his nomination should Major Montooth be put up with him; but Beaver and the “old ticket,” or Beaver and Norris, the pet of the machine, Mr. Marshall repu- diates in advance. In addition the other independent leader, Charley Wolfe says the Republi- can party is no good and he will vote with it no longer. Hon. Chas. 8. Wolfe has quit the Re- publican party. In an interview with a Pittsburg Dispatch reporter he said: “] cannot vote the Republican ticket any longer,” adding his reasons, which are about the same as those which led to the Independent movement. He furth- or stated that he is not going over to the Democratic party, but is “going to vote the Prohibition ticket.” As to his atti- tande toward Gen. Beaver, hesays: “Per- sonally, to myself, not to Gen. Beaver, I rogret that I cannot vote for him, to show his friends and my friends, that I have naught of personal enmity to him,” hat Gen.

Having all the requirements of the law, and in the ab- sence of any charge for having violated the liquor laws, it is contended the Court had no right to refuse a license. The object of the disappointed landlords is to make a test case, and have the Su- preme Court pass upon the d'scretion and powers of the courts below upon the subject of granting licenses. This would be a proper move. judges hold they have power to refuse or grant, at discretion. Other judges think where the applicant bas not vio- jated the liquor laws and in other re- spects fills the requirements of the li- cense laws there is no discretion with the court but to grant a license to the applicant.

Louis on Fri- day by sending in success'on for several prominent business men with the view of getting their opinion of the South- western strike, then for Mr. Hoxie, Gen- eral Manager of the Missouri Pacific, and several of his chiefs of departments, and lastly for the general officers of the Knights of Labor. After being closed with each of these three parties in turn the Committee anounced that it would begin to take testimony next morning and afterwards would divide into two sub-committees, each to proceed on its own tour of investigation in different di- rections. 76 AND 86, 1776~8trike for your homes and your firesides. 1886-—8trike for 8 hours, nsssosssisii i A ASA The strike for eight hours was inaugu- rated on Saturdy, 1, in all important ci- ties, and has become a formidable move, Eight hours’ work for eight hours’ pay is founded upon some regson; but eight hours’ work for ten hours’ pay may not look as clear to those who have the pay- ing to do. The number of workmen over the country who have gone into the strike for eight hours as a day's work’ runs into scores of thousands and is likely to be the next excitement which willibe general all over the country.
