In March of the present year a Committee from Dis- trict Assembly, No, 66, Knights of Labor, conferred with the Builders’ Exchange on the subject of an eight-hour day for all building trades in Washington, Though the individual members of the Exchange Were quite favorub.e to the proposition, it was de- cided that the right way was for the Journeymen and ‘Masters of each trade to arrange the matter for them- selv Accordingly the representatives of the Master and Journeyimen Painters had several meetings and at length & proposition (with many provisos and condi- tions), for an oight-hour day to take effect April 1, 1891, was formulated by the Master Painters’ com- mittee to be subinitted to the two constituent bodies for approval. The Journeymen Painters’ Union re- fused to accept the proposition as aubmitted and asked for a further conference, To this request no answer was made by the Master Painters’ Association and the negotiations fell through, leaving the journeymen under no agreement or obligation whatever to con- tinue at work on the then existing rule as to time or wages, Larly in September the journeymen demanded an eizht-honr day with the old rate of waves, and struck aturday) at $35 per day, being 53 hours per week for $15, or 34 cents auhour. By the new rule they would have worked 48 hours for 818, or at the rate of 374 cents an hour, ‘Thus the master painters would have conceded but five hours a week, or an equivalent of 3% cenis an hour tooach journeyman, It should uot be forzotten that the last hour of the day when the men are jaded and the lixht is failing is the hour that would have been lost to the employers. ‘That this concession was possible is shown by the fact that 9 larxe number of master painters at once cheorfully accepted the eight-hour day, and that more than two-thirds of the journeymen are now at work on that basis. defeat the ourneymen the obdurate master Painters have allowed their contracts to fall iu arrears, to the inconvenience of their patrons, aud have en- deavored and are yet endeavoring to procure painiers irom other cities to take the places of their late cm ployes, The journeymen painters would warn the public against the evil effects of the importation of outaide painters, In the first place, at this height of the paint- ing season, every competent painter is «ure of employ- ment in the city where he belongs and is known, and none but unskilled cr botch painters, who depend for employment on opportunities to take the places of Strikers and who drift from place to place, can be secured. The wretched character of the work of these mou can be cen wherever they are employed in thi« city, and we give @ friendly cuution to all parties hav- SPECIAL NOTICES, IT IS PROPOSED TO REVIVE AND Me igauize tis Washington Chess aad whist SBR AB thove tntereatd are invited to meet thie MONDAY NIGHT at 8 p.m. at 1218 F at, firet floor YENNSYLVANIA CLUB AN AD Be oeneiteotingor the Glue will be bela Welk rooms, Nertheast corner of 11th and G ste D.w ou MONDAY E NING, October 6, 1800. o'clock, aud on EVERY MC WAS NG uw November election.

Many others whose work was cn contract Lave ren- dered great aid to the Journeymen by insisting on a Prompt fuifiiment of the contract and refusing to ac- copt the strike as a good excuse for delay. The rulo of an eight-hour day is accepted by the national government, and in the minds of ail thinking people should, and soun will, become general, but it must be urged by such efforts as the journeyman painters are now making. There has been much talk— @ little action is also necessary, ‘Te Journeymen painters devire to test the value of pubite sympathy. ‘They have made a Just demand and Lacked it up by peaceful cud jawful methods.

Chandler does not want Mr, Blair returned and bas been using «political razor on tho gifted utionist who evolved the educational bill, iknow that Chandler has been sick, but his illness was not too serious to prevent his doing some very activo campaign slaughter- ‘ing. Blair is really doomed. It is an un- his term expires for good | March 3, 1891. He cannot succeed himself. “Who will? That's something of a puzzle and it may be that Blair will be able to name | bis successor. Ex-Representative G Inger. who was defeated by Chandler in the last sen torial contest, is doing some tall work. In fact, it 1s certain now that he controis the state organization despite Chandler's efforts. Gallinger avoided the razor on more than one occasion When everybody believed he would be cut. BAS THE CHANDLER INFLUENCE. Ex-Gov. P. C. Cheney, who has lots of friends in this city, is said to have the Chandler influ- euce, and if he can only combine that with the assistance Biair might give him his chances are good, at loast, “Another candidate for senatorial honors is ex-Gov. N. G. Ordway, who has. I believe, busi- ness interests of some importance in this city. For some time past Ordway has been smiling sweetly upon North Dakota, but without any apprecinable result, He hus suffered much disappointment and has re:urned to his first love. Incidentally I may remark that our peo- ple are ‘dead onto him,’ as it were, and his chancos for senatorial honors in New Hamp- shire are about as good as they would be if be was trying to succced the pope of Home.” THE SECRETARY IS CHEERFUL. Gen, Rusk Gathered Good Republican Tidings on His Western Trip. Secretary Rusk is back at his desk once more, after having completed a flying trip through the middle wert, “Wisconsin,” said the Secretary to a Stan reporter, ‘is just as safely republican as I am. It wouldo't surprise me very much if our majority increased considerably. All the side issues are pretty well eliminated and both par- ties havo settled down to an old-fashioned political campagin. We are sure winners. Sena- tor Spooner opened the fight and he did it well; there can't be any doubt about the result. “Ohio! Yes, I did stop over there a little while. McKinley has a good show for success. Isee that George L, Converse—one of the biggest democrats the Buckeyes have—has come out in favor of McKinley. The chances are that McKinley will be on top when we get the returns, Ex-Gov. Charley Foster is another republican who is bound to get there, By the way, we did "a there out in Idaho; that was good news, Ob, we're doing well all around, but we are more than surprising our friends, the enemy. in the new states. There's a big tight out im Montana, put it’s coming out all right.” = MR. QUAY AFTER A SCALP, A Report That He Wants the Place of Chict Clerk Johnson, The rumor that the Senate contemplates a reorganization of the greater portion of its force is by no meansa new one. For some years past the cry of “wolf” has been regularly raised nd has generally been laughed at with con- siderable unanimity, Somebody yelled “wolf” in conncetion with the office of scargeant-at- arms during the early part of the session just closed and, as usual, he was Inughed at and his warning disregarded. Then came the wolf. Col.Canaday was the victim and the vacancy was filled by the election of Judge Valentine. And now comes the. story that Senator Quay, un- daunted by his failure to put « follower in'Col. Canaday’s place, proposes to make a fight for at least one aduerent, To do this with any show for suceess he wiil have to remove some- body, and this somebody is said to be Chief ; Clerk Johnson, More than one attempt has been made during the session to shake the Minneapolis man’s grip on the office, bat none of them have been anything but failure: Ina gencral way the majority of Senators are not pleased atthe manner in which the reading is done in the Senate, and with this as a lever Mr. Qi roposes to oust either Mr. Johnson or MeGilfry. Of the two he thinks Mr. Johnson the more easily shaken off his perch, for that geuticman is from the north- west, and the northwestern and western Sena- tors, with perhaps two exceptions, havo tacitly agreed to stand by Mr. Quay when he next tries to tind an office for one of his friends. The Pennsylvanian took his dofeat in the sergeant- at-arms’ fight in very good part znd won over agood deal of iniluence in that way. Mr. Quay wiil not yet divaige the name of his ca: didate, He is giving an imitation of Bre'r Rabbitt, as usual, and when the Scnate comes —— in December he will explode the little omb, BETTER AND CHEAPER. Postmaster Goneral on Restoring the Telegraph to the Postal Service. The closing word in the discussion which has been in progress before the House committee on postal telegraph facilities has been uttered by Postmaster General Wanamaker in a com- munication addressed to Reprosentative Bing- ham, chairman of the committee. Mr. Wana- maker says that “after standing for a your past an the middie of the controversy over postal telegraphy, that for over forty years has gone on with sharper tongue and widening range, I am more than ever convinced of the wisdom and practicability of restoring the-telegraph to the postal serv.ce, make it what it was originally intended to be, a part of the postal service, Isay this after closely study- ing the ‘uments against the bill, made so vigorously by the great telegraph company which is now its only visible opponent.” Mr. ———— believes that a large majority of eo PEOPLE DEMAND THIS CHANGE, and it cannot bo resisted with success, as the people cannot be turned back from their pur- pose to quicken and cheapen ticir meaus of communication. In regard to the argument advanced, that a government telegraph is un- constitutional Mr. Wanamaker states that the old government tele; schemes were con- stitutional and itis to urge that tht not to be utilized for THEY PRAY FOR HELP.

Woopstock, Oxt., Oct, 6.—Since his convie- tion Virchall has been constantly taiking about the murder of Benwell, and it is probable that “before the date set for his execution arrives be will have made a clean breast of the crime. He has already made a number of important admissions regarding the case. He acknowl edges that he was an accessory and confesses that he took Benwell to East Woodstock and nd in the direction of the swamp where the body of the young Eglis:man was disco but denies thatit was ius hand that slew Ben- He does not say much about his nego- tuations with the victim and his father, thongh he frecly admits he went im to swindle both them and Peily, Mrs. Birchail had an interview with ber hustand Saturday afternoon for the first time since he was condemned to death, The inter- view was a brief and affecting one, Birehall exhibiting considerable emotion. It is gathered {rom the general drift of Bireb- all's talk that the program was to take Benwell to Lake Ormuskeg, beyoud the place where the body was found. “Had Beuwell been killed and thrown in, the chances are a hundred to one that the body would never have been found, It is belicved also that Birehall’s original inten- tion was to go on a few miles to Druisbo, where he could have taken the Buffalo and Lake Huron road to Buffalo, enema LAUDED AS HEROES, The Mormons Confined in Prison for Breaking the Law, Sarr Lake, Oct 6.—At the Mormon confer- ence yesterdayGeo.Q.Cannon spoke uf the iofty conceptions of the Saints and especially regard- ing the fatare state. So advanced are the Saints’ ideas that when other people attempt to fol- low them they get lost in the magnitude of the precepts, He believed the brethren in the penitentiary would be more prosperous whem they got out than if they not got in, be- quuse they could say they had not broken any @f the covenants they had made. He thanked God he lived among such people, those who were not afraid of consequences and took their punishment like heroes, The time ia coming when this conduct of the Latter Day Syints would stand out as the brightest in modern history. Their sufferings ‘be Bo- ceptable to the Lord. Caunon farther said that the Saints would obey the laws and bow in submission to the Tali like grain before the mower. the martyrdom of Joseph Smith and fixion of Christ as events of like indorsed Cannon's remarke and
