It will take the whole of the present sinking fund appropriation to pay the service pension alone. Thus it will suspend the pay. ment of the national debt, and instead of there being a decrease of taxation ao in- crease will be necessary. in It.is only The great impulse in the ranks of la- bor throughont the world, on behalf of maving eight hours Sime the standard working day, amounts to a tidal wave, and the unity of purpose manifest among the tollers of varions lands shows how ra- pid is the spreading of ideas in this elec trie age. Whatever the result may be there can be no doabt that the shorten ing of the hours of labor would have the effect of affording room for the employ ment of more persons than can find work at present. The adoption of the wight- hour system would admit of employ ing five men, where only four are now employed working ten hours a day. Of late years marvelons strides bave been made in the invention of “labor waving” machines, by means of which ope man can do the work of twenty or move, It is but right that labor, as well as capital, shou'd profit by such device to a reason “ able extent, and the shortening of the hours of work seems the most fessible solution of the problem, The Battle for Governor.

They have the power to nominate him; they are com. mitte 1 to it by choice; by the obligations of common purpose, and by the assanit of the og and the contest has logically and clearly drifted into a square isane with Senator Qaay as a leader. For hdraw Delamater, or to clearly withdraw from the active or passive sup- port of Delamater, would now be a sur render under fire, and the convention would stampede from Quay into the dir ection of his foes. These considerations make the retirement of Delamater pr- impossible, it is safe to he wiil be nominated, and by a decided majority of the convention reserve that y a show of hands, The events of the last week have given % new to the conlest for the Dem. ocratic gomination for Governor. With a dividel delegation in this city, Ex- Governor Pattison was handicapped in a battle for delegates in the roral districts, with’ the sudden proclamation of a practically solid Pattison delegation in this city, and with a'l factions jostling over each other to declare the purpose to give him a cordial suport for both nomi. nation and election, the aspect of the contest was greatly changed within a days. It matters not what special influences so unexpectedly brought the Philadelphia delegation into cordial anity for Pattison, but the fact that he would poll the largest vote in this city of any of the candidates named was a san~ stan’ fal justification of the action. That the united movement in favor of Pattison in this city hes infused new vigor in tue Pattison movement throogh- ont the State isonly logical, snd aa ag gressive stroggle will doubtless now be mate to forge him to the front. Ex. Senator Wallace has been decidedly in the lead, and it ia likely that he could command the nomination by mesiing the new movement with like aggressive methods; but whether he will do it or not can be decided only by himself. He is averse 'o a struggle for the nomina- tion and his assent to the use of his names was oonpled with the condition that the nomination should come to him with cordial unanimity. The Pattison development would not binder anity on Wallace if he became the nominee even after a sharp battle for it; but Wallace's public assent to the effort to make him the candidate was given noder condi- tions which have been changed within the last week. As both cooventions will be held within ‘ths next two months, the posi. tion of Wallace will doubtless be speedi- ly defined, and if he shall decide to make the fight thers will be 8 warm con- test between the friends of the two prom. inent candidates, and one that will hard- ly escape all elements of bitterness, — Philadelphia Times. rit alii n— In Dovetvalor, Eng. a bounty of eighty conts per dozen is offered for old spar- rows, four cents per dozen for young ones, and a a*ot and s half per dosen for eggs.
