THE EIGHT HOUR QUASTION, Father Huntington’s Lectura Bofore the Central Labor Union. THE BASIS OF HIS ARGUMENT, A Reduction the Hours of Toil Wou'd Increase the Demand for Labor and Make Life More Pleasant. Father Huntington's Leoture, The Itev. Father James O, 8. Huntington, A member of the Order of the Holy Cross of New York city, nddressed the membors of the Central Labor union last evoniug on the elght hour auestion, “We are told,” began the spenker, “‘that we are suffering from over-production, 1t takes very littlo thought for us to see that the meaning of the word over-production is wrong. It means that the people have no means of 3 raturn for the goods under the head of over-production. \What is nocessary in order to create industry all over the coun- try in that people wno really need such goods snould bo able to find an equivalent for them, Thero would be a far botter aistribu- tion of products if all were able to work but eight hours, What we want is a larger omo market, a larger home consumption, on will the condition of living be buttor Wo baso the argumentof tho eight hour argument upcn the fact that there are too many workiug over eight hours, It 1s a mis take to think, however, thut the cuttiug down of the hours of labor will prove the remedy desired. Whero all worler em- ployed their wages will increws, The no tion of the wage fund is common, but it 18 o gross mistake. \Wages are oot puid by cani- tal, but by wage-workers, For instance: So'many pairs of shoes have been made at @ factory on a Saturday night, isobtained from thesale of those septs much more thun what the workmen re- ceive Itropresonts o great profit to the factory owners, beaides o payment of all ex- penses, ‘The more these are croating the more there is to distribute among those cre- ating, “Men who worl ten or tweive hours aday care nothing but for food and sleeping. [ know this to be so, for [ wentout as & Work- men myself, and 1 went through the experi- ence very thoroughly. 1 found that whete [ worked ten hours aday I cared for nothimg but cating and sleeping. When I worked eight hours a day 1 nad time for and wanted to do some reading and writing. Whenevor men work ten or twelve hours a day thoy have 1o demands for anything elso but animal demands. Why is it that foreigners are willing to work for so littlet Simply becauss they have been so crushed down that they are content simply with having plenty of eating and sleeping. They experience no desire for education—don’t know what it means. “I say, therefore, that an eight-hour law will give a man time for doing somethiog else uside from catine and sleeping—will give an opportunity for something better than mero animal existonce. *'Some men say that if an cight-hour law was in existence the extra time would be spent in beer drinking or somethine similar, Who says thist The capitalists—the very mon who spent $20000 m o single mght for flowers, und another a{u,(mu forsome other part of a night's rev- elry. “‘Wo have an argument drawn from history. Three nundred years ago, in Kog- land, the eight hour rule was in vogue. If it Was i success then, as it most certainly was, ‘Wwhy should it not be in this day? Place no depeadence oa tho talk gowng on today against the eight hour systent. “Wo are not going to secure the eight hour law simply by legislation, Why do men work for twelve and thirteen hours to- day! Is it because they are so enamoured with work! Nonsense. You know it is nonsense, bocause your common sense tells you s0. ‘The assertion that the cight hour rule cannot exist in this country because it is over-populated is absurd. There uare mullions of acres here yet untouched. The trouble is that so much of it is owned by great landlords who are floating high, taking expensive pleasure trips to Paris aud other gay Justas soon as a man gets better wages he has to pay more rent. 1f it 18 nov one thing it is another—the rich land- owner must bo supported. Thia gocs to #how that something more than legislution is necessary. I'his ‘something more' is bring- ing about a change in the arrangement by which & man can secure the power to hold vast tracts of land supposedly on a sort of government lease, or by government con- sent, and rent it out agam ata big profit without working a foot of it himseif. “I don’t believe that landlords can hold proverty or are entitled to profit by property simply as lanalords. What o man makes or manufactures is his own. How can a man manufacture land? God s the only landlord, for He is the only one who Las made land, The na- tion holds tho land in trust for its citizons.

He Realizas That He Is Above the Vulgar Herd. The colonel is one of the established institutions of this country and ha come to stay, says the Nashville Ameri- can. We cannot all of us go to congress or be governor, but there is a vacant colonelcy to tempt the ambition of every aspiving youth in this free country. To be called *‘colonel” is a sweet and healing halm to many o heartsore umd disappointed tussler with the vicis situdes of life. No man can feel that his life has been altogether a failure 50 long us he cun live and be a ‘‘colonel.” It breaks the fall of the defeatod candidate and makes him feel that he is not altogether without honor if he is without oftice. Every time he is greeted with the familiar ‘title the man who is down is encouraged to brace upand try agaio. It isin ten thousand ways o hope aud a consolation, and we donot doubt that many & man who has reached fame and honor and usefulness to his country owes all his greatness to the title ef ‘*‘colonel,” which hs admiring friends have copferred upon him, As soon 08 A man beging to hear himself called **colonel” he realizes that he is in some sense above and apart from the vulgar herd, A great ambition begins to dawn within his soul, and in nine cases out of ten ho will improve the trst opportun- ity to becomo a justice of the peace, then a state legsslator, and if he be worthy of his coloneley he may then go to congress. His hands may not be red with the blood of his fellows and hLe may huve never seen the smoke or smelt the nowder or heard the roar of battle, But perish the thought that none but the sluyer of his fellows can wear this proud title!

Itisa bona fide deal, by which ull the gamblers liave agreed with the executive committee of the anti-gambling association to not only elose up but to remove their furniture and gambling appliances.

The genial warmth of the real estate ex- change contrasted 8o pleasantly with the borean biasts yesterday that an extra in- ducement was offered the crowds, and whon the exchange opened at 3 o’clock a crowded house greeted President Judd. A great deal of good lively discussion was held on import- ant subjects. Tho matter that attracted tho most interest was the report made by the president that alarge boiler manufactory now located in an eastern city and empl ing from five hundred to eight hundred men, could be brought to this city; that the pro- prietors were dissatisfied with their present location and were ccmpelled to move on count of scarcity of water. The manage. ment of the concern was favorably impressed with Council Bluffs and was willing to come here provided they were guarantecd @ por- tion of tho expense necessury for the re- moval of such « largo plant. Tnis discussion stimulated the moncyed men present, and the proposition was made nize o manufacturing association with al of $100,000, the oapital stock of which was to be'used for the encouragement of manufacturing enterprises, tho membors of the association to become stockholders every erterprise assisted, and the assistance to tako the form of stock in the various en- terprises. Aitorn good deal of discussion the following agreemont was drawn up and approved : ““I'he undersigned agree to bacome stock- nolders to the extent of 1,000 each to u cor- i n to encourage the location of manu- factorics in_ Council Bluffs.

Judee Aylesworth will today close up his superior court business preparatory to turn- ing it over to Judge McGee on Monday, at which time the Murch term will convene. Judge Ayles h will again open a law of- fice, but whether in this city or in Omaha he has not you determined. He is negotiativg With a prominent Omaha law firm to become apartner and open a branch ofice on this siae of the river. He exprosses great sat faction at being ablo to turn over the ofice he now holds 1o so gentlemanly a successor as Judee McGee, and announces the belief that the latter will be “‘ail right Among other things, Judge Aylesworth is speculating as to the policy to be pursued by the new administration with reference to collecting “‘tines” from the saloons and dis- orderly houses. “I am inclined to think,” said the outgoing official, ‘‘that ths new council will put a stop to the system. It is not atall lkely that Mayor Macrae will untenance it, and I should ve very glad to seo it stopped. If the mayor and council propose to levy it, however, as they bave in the " past, the court will have very little to do in the matter, At n0 time haa it been lawful in tois state to collect & licenso, and this monchly fine is othing less thau a license, froi rostitates. The supreme court has so decided, yet this is what our oficials have been doing for the past two years. The samo 18 true of the saloons. When we have a license law the salooa business is legalized. but under the preseut circumstauces the business is THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: fiATURDAY, MARCH 15, 1890, illegal, and 80 is the license, tax or fino do- rived from it. It is nothing but blackmail, and that is all you can make of it. It was this vory thing that caused the trouble be- tweon the mayor and the marshal. ‘U'he mayor wanted to collect the flaes and the marshal refused because he knew that it was filegal. That was why tho work was dolegated to the chiof of police. Of course, the marshal got his feos out of it, as ho was entitied to them under tho present ordi- cod, 3y the way, T seo that the council wants to cut down tho salary of the marshal. A vory simplo and_offsctual way of dolng it wotlld be to cut off the fees on arrests mada be a regular policeman. At present he ro- ceives 2,10 for every arrcst made by any momber of the police fores, in case the ar- rested party pays his fine, and it 18 very evi- dent that be is not ontitled to it. “You seo, when the man 18 arrested he is turned over to the marshal's care. 'I'he marshal o 04 out the warrant after the man is in jail, and all he does 18 to see that the fellow is taken before the polico magis- trate, A slight change in the ordinance would change all that, It is justas casy to rogulate as it is to pass an ordinance requir ing & common carrier to take out n license. If these fees were cut off the salary of the marshal would be noas too large. A court ofticer could then be appointed to take theso follows into court, and _he could take the nlace of the day Jaiior if necessary. ‘That 18 tho only manner in which tho fees can bo outoff.” The marshal is the executive ofiner of the superior court, and must recoive his fees as such, but ho cannot collect fees in cases whers ho is not interested if the council passes an ordinance forbidding it.” sy Complete.

The Preacher J “Not guiity.” No mora ¢ words ever foll upon tho ear of tho Re: Helmick than theso, as they were uttered yesterday by Judge Thornell, as he closed the reading of the formal finding of tho jury. Mr. Helmick was sitting just within the rail, having been hurriedly summoned by o mes- songer, who informed him that the jury had como in, and was ready to report. Mrs. Helmick was by his side, and both leaned forward eagerly listening for cvery word written upon the mysterious pioce of paper wiilch bad just been handed to the judge by the foreman, While confident that in all justice and right thers could bs no other verdict than that of acquittal, yet the fact that the jury had been out hours, where only minutes were expected, naturally made him auxious and in a certaln degres un- certain. As the words “‘not guilty” were read by the judge relief was quickly and strongly pictured on his face. The wife, a frail appearing lady, who had been strug- gling with her emotions, exclaimed, *‘Thank the Lord,” and gave way to her tears, while weakness, following the intense strain upou her feclings, caused her to almost sink, Her husband caught her with his arms, and kiss- ing her, the two wept together. Friends gathered about and the expressions of joy and congratulation were as varied s the in- dividuality of those who proffered them. The machinery of the court was soon started on another and less sensational case, whilo Mr, Helmick walked out surrounded by his family and friends. On reaching the corri- dor he was kept busy shaking the hands of others for some time, ‘The result of the trial was generally ex- pected. The only disappointment was in the length of time the jury remained out. Whe the case was ziven to the jury at 4 o'cloc! Thursday afternoon the court room was crowded, and us the twelve men filed out to their room very few left their scats, expect- ing that by a short wait they woald be ena- bled to hear the verdict, iv -being conceded that but a few minutes would be necessary to reach an agrezment, acamitting the de- fendant. As the minutes rolled into hours the numbers grew less and their anxisty greater. ‘“What is the matter?” Noone scemed to know. All sorts os rumors were afloat as to the secrets of the jury room. They increased in numbers and variety as the hours went by, and yesterday forenoon the air was full of them. "Iv was 2 o'clock, the hour for the opening of the afternoon session of court, when the jury reported. The case has.attracted a great deal of at- tention, not ouly because of the prominence of the defendant, but because of its peculiar character, The state had u number of wits nesses who adwitted being members of a gang of conspirators, who under the law would rightly be sent to the' penitentiary, and yet none of these conspirators had been oven subjected to arrost, whilo the man against whom this conspiracy was formed, and who defended himself from their at- tacks, was subjected to all tho humiliation and torture of being tried for the charge of murder. That a verdict of acquittal would be the result was apparent, but that those who had confessed to a crimo should bo allowed to go free, while the law- abiding citizen who repelled their attacks was being prosecuted, 1f not persecuted, seemed passing strange. No verdict has been returned which has Riven such eral satisfaction. Tho con- fidenco felt by Mr. Helmick’s brothers of the church has been made manifest by his reappointment to the pastorate of tha Motho- dist chu at Neolaat the last session of the annual conferenco. 1t was decided, how- aver, at that time that he shoald not preach 50 long as ho was resting under 8o heinous a charge. In other respects ho has continued as the active pastor of the church, His ac- quittal removes all bar to his now entering his pulpit agair *Will you preach next Sunday 1" “Yes,” replicd Mr. Helmick. “Now that T am clear of tbis charge 1 shall engage 1n my work as usual aod expect to preach on Sunday. There is to be a formal investigas tion of the matter by a church committee, but that is simply a matter of form, this ver: dict settling everything. I have arranged with my presiding elder and shall preach as usual, this being the understanding reached some time ago, depending on the result of this trial.” e Krainey Wants Fresh Air. John Jay Frainey still reads his well- thumbed Shakespeare by the light which creeps through between tho bars of the county cage. His attorneysare not inactive, though, and are busying themselves seoking to get some modifioation of the order of the court, by which he is now being imprisoned for contempt, As administrator he failed to account for a considerable .sum of money, and the only way for him to make the short- age good and relieve himself from contempt seemed to be for nim to give a mortgage on his home. ‘Tne homestead is in Mrs 'rainey’s name, however, and afidavits were filed yesterday showing that she will not siga & mortguge for any such purpose. Dif. ferent parties have talked with her about it, but she takes the position that sho has worked hard to save a home, and she does not now propose to let it go for the sake of setting bor husband free.
