Asstated in Taz Stan the Washington Mon- Ument Society has prepared a brass tablet or Plaque to be placed in the monument, the in- scription giving in brief the pointe in the hie- tory of the society and the erection of the monument, A resolution recently introduced in the Senate by Mr. Edmunds provides for placing 9 tablet in the monument inscribed with a brief account of its history, and forbids the placing of any other tablet in the monument.

Welling, Dr. J. M. Toner and Admiral ©, R. ers, and approved by the monument society, has the following head lines, the name of Washington being made con- spictious by the arrangement and size of the letters: “Washington National Monument So- ciety, organized in the city of Washington, September 26, 1833, to erect a monument to th 7 of Conk Washington. Officers: John all, Chief Justice of the United States, president; Wm. Cranch. Wm. W. Seaton and the mayor of city of Washington, vice residents; Samuel H.

Van Ness, Winfield Scott, Thomas Blagden and Benjamin Ogle Tayloe. The members ex-officio as given on the tablet are the President and Vice President of the United States and all the members of the cabinet, It states the obelisk was begun under a design by Robert Mills and that the corner stone was laid July 4. 1848, with Masonic cere- monies, @ military display and an oration by Robert ©.

Labor Representatives Appeat Before the House Committee on Labor. OBJECTING TO THE STRIKING OUT OF TRE PEN- + ALTY CLAUSE FROM THE WADE BILL TO ENFORCE ‘THE EIGHT-HOUR LAW—VARIOUS VIEWS Of THE WORKINGMEN, The committee on labor gave a hearing this morning to representatives of the Federation of Labor and Mr. J. 8. Schulties of the Knights of Labor to protest against the Wade bill to enforce the eight-hour law in its present form. Before the committee from the legislative committee of the Federation of Labor were E. H, Thomas, E. W. Oyster and L. H. Patterson, while Mr. Schulties represented the same committee from the Knights of Labor. The delegation pointed most of their oppo- sition to the action of the committee in strik- ing out section 3 of the Wade bill, whieh pre- scribed a penalty for violation of the law, It was their opinion that the loss of this section left the bill worthless. Things were prohibited, but no punishment was preseribed for violation, HISTORY OF THE WADE BILL. The Wade eight-hour bill, asit is known, was introduced in the House Iast March. It was drawn up mainly through the efforts of Mr. J. L. Kennedy of the Typographical Union, who submitted it to Mr. Wade by request.’ The bill provides that eight shall constitute » day's work for all laborers, work~ men and mechanics employed now or hereafter on behalf of the government, except in cases of extraordinary emergency which may arise in time of war or in cases where it may be necessary to work more than eight hours to construct public works, preserve erty or prevent the destruction human life. Whenever any contract is made on behalf of the government with any person for the performance of any work the contract- ing parties ol agree that eight hours shall constitute a day's work for all laborers, workmen and_ mechanics while employed on premises owned or occupied by the government at work required by such contract. It is provided that no laborer, &c,, shall be employed more than forty-eight hours in any six consecutive days, except as provided. A penalty not less than 50 and not more than $1,000, and $1,000 for each suc- ceeding offense was provided for violation of the law by any officer of the government or any person acting for him or any contructor. This was the bill as originally introduced, but last month the committee on labor re- ported the bill to the House, after having amended the bill by striking out the last clause, which provided the penalty, MR, OYSTER IN HIS REMARKS said the bill at present violated the law. The Typographical Union had indorsed the bill, ho believed; they indorsed only the principle of eight hours, The bill would repeal all previous laws and legalize just what the laborers were protesting against. OTHER SPEAKERS, Mr. E. H. Thomas followed Mr. Oyster. The original trade bill, he thought, was about the thing wanted. The penalty section of the bill constituted its very life and he would confess he had been greatly surprised at the action of the committee in striking the jion out, Mr, Connell of the committee at this point said he did not believe the reported Wade bill amounted to the paper it was written on. Mr. Oyster—‘That's what the Federation of Labor believes and what we are sent here to say.” Mr. Thomas—“That's not so, We are sent here to object to the amendments to the bill.” Mr. Oyster remarked that the resolution of the federation denounces the Wade bill, and Mr. Thomas replied that the objection was to striking out the penalty clause. VIEWS OF REPRESENTATIVE FARQUHAR, Mr. Farquhar of the committee thought the working men would get their eight hours asa day's work without any help, although he did not’ mind helping _— the good cause on. ‘The first of last May had shown their great strength. The Wade Dill, he thought, was well enough if the penalty clause was put back. THE LABOR MEN'S LIST. Mr. L. H. Patterson told how the legislative committee of the Federation of Labor had presented a list of thirty names to Speaker wed at the beginning of the session as men acceptable to them for the committee on labor. Eight of the present members of the commit- tee were on that list and they thought they bad a right to expect that the original Wade bill should be reported from the committe Mr. Connell thought changos should be made in the bill to make it more binding. MR. SCHULTEIS OBJECTED to the portion of the bill allowing work over eight hours in cases of extraor- dinary emergency, &c. He thought the language too loose and the cases where extra work could be done should be ane The bill should also be amended in the language providing that eight houre should constitute a day's work on premises owned ur occupied by the government, &, ‘The contractor could hire land across the street and work his men at government work as long as he pleased, THOUGHT THE PENALTY CLAUSE SHOULD BE RESTORED. Mr. J. L. Kennedy thought the penalty clause should be put back. The Typograph- ical Union had indorsed the Dill on the statement from him that Mr. Wade had assured him that on the floor of the House he would move to amend the bill by teinstating the penalty clause. THE ELECTION BILL Some Republicans Opposed to It—What » May Happen in the Senate, The discussion of the federal election bill started off in a spirit of unexpected calmness and deliberation. There was none of the ex- citement that was looked for. The demo- crates expect that the bill will become a law and believe that its effect will be more serious upon the republican interests than upon the democrats. ‘They will protest against the measure as unjust, unwise and inexpedient. Theywillfmake theio protest as earnest as possible, but they do not expect 1 to prevent the passage of the bill. SOME REPUBLICANS AGAINST IT, A large number of republicaus in the House and a larger number in the Senate look upon the measure as inexpedient. This has led to the idea that the bill may be defeated in the House and that it is almost certain to failin the Senate. This is a very sanguine view for the opponents of the measure to take. Jt does not appear that there is even the vaguest possibility of more than three or four republicans in the House voting against their party in any numbers, Messrs, Lehlbach, Ewart and Coleman, it is understood, will vote against the measure. ‘The argument ' which brings repub- licans up to the party chalk mark, regardless of the views they may hold personally, is that after their declarations in the Chicago piat- formand all the talk during the campaign about frauds in the south,the republicans of the country expect them to show that they were in earnest by the enactment of a law, and that it will not do for this session to adjourn without passing a bill, IN THE SENATE. How much influence this argument will haye with the Senators isa question. From repub- lican sources comes the prediction that the Senate will not pass the bill, while democrats generally express a contrary opiuions qT mocrats, of course, have it in their power to defeat the measure in the Senate if they have the physical endurance to talk long enough on the tariff bill aud on this subject. WORKING UP SENTIMENT. Gov. Campbell of Ohio, who is in Washington on his way to New York, is going to write an open letter on the subject of the federal elec- tion bill, severely criticising it, Gov. Hill and other northern democrats will denounee the measure ia some public manner, and a movement is on foot to hold mass meetings in the north aud work up a general sentiment in that section against the measure, —$—$<<<$<<$<—<—= A farmer named Newton, in Summit conaty, Ohio, who last month ate twenty-six eggs ona wager, became ill soon after and remained so ‘until a day or two ago, when he died. = ssamur by Saciing i shin nic ceo > ne} Dies to Nocti Dafote factors wie are treated iatoccert en badly hit the other: day, him to "gargoyle" =f waioee soa es spout!” Labby joined in the general Poi Rede ae of the In- Tagan "oth ate tn eceliont * “Gardinal Givbous 1s st Cape * D.

How the Census Returns Are Footed Up at the Office on Ninth Street. ‘The third floor of the Census Building on 9th street has the appearance of a factory or ma- chine shop. It is a very tidy and airy machine shop, however, where nice-looking girls in cool white dresses are at work at the long rows of counting machines, At first glance the machines remind one of upright pianos, They have handsome oak cases and each one occupies about the same space a piano does. They are, how- ever, eminently tical machines, and with their aid some fifteen young ladies can count aceurately a half million of names a day. It is éxpected that when the work of counting the eonsus returns really begins that there will be seventy or eighty of these machines ut work. CENSUS RETURNS COMING IN SLOWLY. The returns from the census districts throughout the country are coming in slowly, There are more than 50,000 of these districts and so far only about 2,500 districts have sent in the returns, As fast as the returns come in they are counted, although not as rapid as the’ will be, as it is necessary to train th young ladies in the use of the machines, making this count, which is known as the “rough count,” the returns for each district sre counted twice. After being counted on one machine they are passed over to another, and when the latter count is completed the two are compared,and if there are discrepancies necessary corrections are made. Following this method, if the total population of the country is 60,000,000, there will be counted in the Census Office an equivalent to 120,000,000 names, HOW THE MACHINES ARY. OPERATED. The machines, which are the invention of Mr. Hollerith, and supplement his tabulating machines, are very simple. A key board, re- sembling that of a typewriter, is at the right of the operator. Each key has a number from one to twenty. The operator has a pile of census schedules at her left side, and as she turns the schedules over she notes the figures which _indicate the number of members in each family enum- erated in that schedule. If there are five mem- | Simons; third prize wor by Frauk Field; conso- bers in a mam 6 she strikes the key marked five. When a key is struck an electric con- nection is established with the hands ona dial in the frame work in front of the operator. ‘That dial is marked No. 5 which means it records the number of families consisting of five reons, Each time the No. 5key is struck No. 5dial records one. When the count ma pleted the recorded number on each dial is multiplied by the number of the dial, the results added up® and the total number of individuals in that district is ascertained. If the same result is obtuined by @ different operator then it is concluded that the count is correct. It is expected that by the use of these machines the results of the census will be known much sooner than by any other known method. LIVE CAPITOL TOPICS.
