The Accommodations of the Halls of the Montezumas, the Sage Bru of the Plains, But There is no Place Like Omaha. “Four months of steady travel and sight- secing,” said Mr. E. L. Stone, “makes one who is not used to that sort of thing, just a little bit weary.” Mr, Stone speaks from experience, because only last Thursday he ended a journey which commencéd early in February, He left home with his wifc and daughter Miss Hattie ex- pecting to be gone sixty or ninety days, but their trip was extended to far beyond their intention. ““We went south to the old City of Mexico and remained therea fortnight,” continued the gentloman, *“then struck out by way of El Paso to California. After visiting Los Augeles, Sun Dicgo, Montery, the big trees and San Francisco, we proceeded up the coas north to Tacoma, thence across to Seattle and Portland, thence to Shoshone Falls, Salt Lake City, Denver aud finally home.” Throughout this tour, extending over thou- sands of miles and_including many cities, Mr. Stone was constantly on_the lookout for some place which offered better inducements for & person to locate than Omaha, He failed, nowever, to find one. I did not see a single town,” said he,“that presented anything like the appearance of prosperity, substantial growth and business activity witnessed right here in Omaha.

It was & wonderful and pleasing contrast to the scomingly endless stretches of sand. alkali and sagebrush that we had been accus tomed to for days. “Phere was something so rofreshing, s hilarating and pleasing in the pictur commenced to feel like a new mun at once,” The party spent two weeks 1t i un interesting and curious eit Mr, Stone. ‘“‘Auy one going from h first struck very ~forcibly with the differ between things in that country and in this, The buildings, the people and “their customs are so unlike' ours that one's mind is filled with strange sepsations and the greatest curiosity, But the novelty soon wears off.

Before going to San ) co, we went over to the Santa Cruz d from there drove out into the grove 1 miles east of the town, and to get there we drove through a wild, rough canyon, In some places the road,whichl has been” cut out of the mountain-side, looked about a mile above the river, which formed the bottom of the canon. We crossed this viver up in the grove aad came back down another road equally as rough and dun gerously-looking rent amid the rocks, Those big trees are certainly wonderful to look at.” *“T'he spot offering more solid comfort, qui enjoyment, howeyer, was found at Montere, AS i sumnier resort, that p Appea to be about as near perfection as can be ywhere, The Hotel del Monte can't ssed.

THE COMMODITY OF LABOR. How Its Sale Affects the Great Army of Wage-Workers. INTERNATIONAL PRINTERS' CONVENTION. Seven-Day Printers’ Views on the Ac- of That Body Limitiug Work to Six Days Per Week. vion Theannual international typographical con- vention, held at Atlunta, Ga., lust week, has concluded its labors and adjourned. Laws of more than usual import taining to the interests of the eraft were pided. The most important one wus that of prohibiting regular seven-day compositors from holding cases more than six days in uny one week. During the earl of the convention, a woman delegate from C ntroduced a resolution that the regular ease-holders should not hold their cases more than five days in any one week. om the start, this met with strong oppo- sition, most of the delegates arguing that it was o law intended to benefit the “subs,” v than the regular case-holders, and, for ason, it was defeated. In its stead was introduced the six-day law, which was car- vied by a bare mujority. In this city, opinions differs as to the justico of such a law, many of the printers holding that a convention has no authority to dictate how many days a man shall labor, as this nee per- question is wholly within the jurisdiction of the local unions of the different cities, Many of the leading com- positors regard the passage of the law as a scheme to benefit men who ave un able to obtain cuses, and to injure the regu- lars. Others are of the opinion that the interna tional convention has complete jurisdictio over the question, and can legislute as to the number of dayg and number of hours cach union man shdll work during the day and The printers of this city are not alarmed over the situation, for among the seven-day men but few ever'work more than six duys week, while a large number work only five, In discussing the question, one of the prominent printers of the city suid yester “We are always read, nd willing to b the boys out; but, after we have worked p haps years to get our cases, we feel that it i not justice to us to havea body of mel dictate tous when we shall and when we shall not work. “‘Here is the point, you see,” said this man. ©A printer with a card comes into the city and, no matter what our circumstances may be, e have got to give up our cases and put hin on one duy out of each seven. Of course, we would be perfeetly willing to do this at any time;, but we bhate to be bound down by a rule compelling us to do so. The man may be worthy and in good standing and entitled to work in any of- fice, but the practice smacks too much of a trust, and I am of the opinion thut it will be repealed at the next convention.” Another printer, also prominently con- nected with oue of the daily papers said, “Ths is the kind of alaw we have wanted for years, and while I would oppose a five day law, I am most emphatically in favor of the law as passed by the international convention, as it will lay out some of the men who huve ‘hogged’ it for months, and years, I might good compositor can make from $20 per week upon most of the morniug sheets of the city, und that amount ought to satisfy any reasonuhle man.” While there will be some objection, un- doubtedly, the typographical usion of this _MORSE’S Morse's Moving Sale.
