The Eight Hour Law in Utah.
The supreme court of the United States,
-pt.iking through Mr. Justice Brown, of
Michigan. has Just rendered an important
decision upholding the validity of the
eight-hour law of the new State of Ltah,
notes the 'New York Sun.
The decision Is one of great interest
and Importance to working men through
out the country.
In 1896 the legislature of that ttfUe en
acted a statute regulating the hours of
employment in underground mines and in
-molting works ami works for the reduc
tion of ore. The chief provisions of the
statute are these:
“Section 1. The period of employment of
workingmen in all underground mines or
workings shall be eight hours per day, ex
cept in cases of emergency where life or
property is in imminent danger.
“Sec. 2. Tlie period of employment of
workingmen in smelters and all other in
stitutions for the reduction or refining of ,
ores or metals shall be eight hours per day
except in cases of emergency where life or
property Is in Imminent danger.
“Sec. 3. Any person, body corporate,
agent, manager, or employer who shall
violate any of the provisions of sections 1
and 2 of this act shall be deemed guilty of
a misdemeanor.”
Mr. Albert F. Holden was prosecuted
for violating bo-ih sections of the act, and
was convicted after a trial before p. justice
of the peace, who fined him SSO for each
offence. He refused to pay the fines,
whereupon the justice committed him to
jail. Mr. Holden then sued out writs of
habeas corpus in the supreme court of
Utah, on the ground that the statute under
which he had been convicted was uncon
stitutional and void. That tribunal re
fused to release him, end he appealed to
the supreme court of the United States.
In the opinion of the Utah court the
statute was pronounced a valid exercise of
that form of governmental authority which
has come to be known in constitutional
law’ as the police power. Chief Justice
Zane, in expressing the views of the su
preme court of the state, said:
“While the business of mining may not
be affected with a public interest, the leg
islature may enact laws adapted to the
promotion of the health and safety of men
working in underground mines. Whatever
difference of opinion may exist as to the
extent ami boundaries of the police power,
and however difficult it may be to render
n satisfactoi definition of it, there seems
to be no doubt that it does extend to the
protection of the lives, health, and prop
erty of the citizens, and to the preserva
tion of good order and the public good.”
In the supreme court of the United
States, Justice Brown, speaking for a
majority of his associates, without passing
upon the constitutionality of eight-hour'
laws generally, said that there could be
no doubt of their validity in such a case
as this, where they were plainly designed
to protect, the health of a class of workers
in employments of an unwholesome char
acter in mines and smelting establish
ments. Thus viewed, there was nothing
in the legislation which infringeduipon any
light guaranteed by the Federal constitu
tion or violated any prohibition contained
in that instrument.
Says the Waycross Herald: “Wm. J.
Bryan is to make a few speeches in Geor
gia. The Herald suggests that he be in
vited to Waycross. We might as well get
acquainted with him, for he is going to
come mighty near being our next presi
dent”
An Accidental Surplus,
The government managed by a combina
tion of good luck and accident to squeeze
out a surplus during the month of Feb
'Th*' receipts .for the month were
$28,572,538, being less than those of Jan
uary, which amounted to $28,795,227; but
the expenses were smaller by almost $lO.-
000,000, hence the surplus. Last month the
government expended $26,727,000, while in
January the outgo amounted to $36,695,711,
and January was more nearly an average
month than February.
The I ebruary surplus, therefore, was
riot the result of the Dingley law, which
brought in less revenue than during the
month before, but resulted from a reduc
ton of expenses. The government simply
“*Pl' en <.d to be called upon to pay $10,000,-
000 less in February -than in Jaunary, .-ji
unusual occurrence and one which is not
JiKely to happen often.
The total receipts from all sources since
July 1 189<, have been $274,558,140. and he
expenditures $251,615,570. Deduct from the
tmal receipts the $51,901,823 obtained from
thi sale of the Union Pacific Railroad and
the actual receipts are $222,656,317. leav
ing a deficit of $28,959,253. Commenting
on these figures the Birmingham News
says, the Dingley l aw hAS b Jn in
Hon seven months, and under it one small
surplus has accidentally occurred, but
those who are going into eestacies over
this event should examine the above facts
and comparisons, and then gaze upon the
total deficit and their joy will soon be
curbed.
The Ding-ley law has not and never will
do all its framers promised, and were it
not for -the big movement in trade and the
use.of the pruning knife by congress and
the administration on expense accounts
the present deficit would be more than
twice as large as it is.
In case of war with SpahTthe first forces
available would be the standing army, the
military organizations and volunteers who
are ready to take up arms at once. The
regular army numbers about 30.000. the
militia something like 100.000. and it is
safe to say that there are 250,000 who
would volunteer at the first call to arms.
The Birmingham News is trying to prove
that Mr. Bryem is not an orator. But then
The News looks at Bryan with jaundiced
eyes.

The above figures are only estimates, but
but they may be accepted as aproximately
cored. Th’e growth of this country’s He
brew' population has been very rapid. In
1818 there were but 3,000 in America, the
bulk of them being in New York, New Or
leans and one or two other cities. Since
then, however, there has been a steady in
crease until now the United States con
tains one-seventh of the Jewsih population
of the world and stands fourth In the
number of Hebrews it contains, being ex
ceeded only by Russia, Austria and Ger
many.
An old colored man in Kentucky, who
went through the Mexican war, depre
cates light talk about the Spanish crisis.
He says: “I’ve fit the Spaniards and When
you git through you know you ain’t bin to
nor pra’r raeetin,.”
The Supreme Court.
The talk about the supreme court toeing
owned by the*corporations may be revived
to an. interesting degree since Spencer At
kinson's announcement for governor. It
is a well known fact that Judge Atkinson
while on the supreme bench dissented
from a number of opinions that were fa
vorable to the corporations.—‘Columbus
, Ledger.
In this conection the Times-Recorder de
sires the privilege of remindng the people
that Judge Atkinson did not dissent from
the opinion of the other judges of the su
preme court when they allowed their prej
udices in favor of corporations to ipermit
them to wrongfully ‘and unjustly construe
the law in the case of the removal of the
headquarters of the Georgia and Alabama
railroad from Americus to Savannah. But
The Times-'Recorder is not prepared to put
upon Judge Atkinson’s shoulders the many
sins of ‘that august body, the supreme court
of Georgia, for the .people have about "as
much showing before that body of grand
corporation moguls as they would in a
court of justice presided over toy General
Weyler.—Americus Times-IReeorder.
“Southern States” says that the price of
farm lands in the South will soon advance
very materially, because of indicated im
migration from the Southwest.
Women Read Advertiserrents.
It is claimed, says the Philadelphia
Press, that the women who are the only
readers of advertisements. In a measure
this is true, and necessarily so, for women
are the larger purchasers for the house
hold and spend most of the money that is
earned by business, professional and work
ing men.
Even in the larger transactions it wall
probably surprise dealers to learn how in- .
fluential a voice women have. The pur
chase of a home is almost invariably de
ternjined by the women of the household,
and in nine cases out of ten their infor
mation as to the situation and desirability
of a purchase is gained from the news
papers.
And every furniture dealer, dry goods
dealer, groceryman and keeper of any sort
of a store knows that he must appeal to
the women if he wishes 'to sell his goods. -
One of the largest elements in the success
of one’ of the greatest merchants in the
world is the fact that he knows how to ap
peal attractively through the advertise
ment to the woman.
Here is a nice little problem for some
arithmetic class: If 200,000 Spanish sol
diers have been unable, in three years’
time, to conquer 1,500,000 Cubans, bow
many,of them would it take to whip 72,-
000.000 Americans?

The navy department has given out a
statement of the strength of the naval

officers and men by states is as follows:
California, 36; Connecticut, 165; Florida,«

recent report Assistant Secretary of the
Navy Roosevelt said that the state mili

smaller cruisers. It could be depended

THE WANE OF FAME.
I saw him years and years ago
In all his spendor and his grace;
I saw him ere the pangs of woe
Had furrowed tell-tales on his face.
I saw him and loved this uncrowned king
Os poetry and songs so rare;
And once, by chance, I heard his sing
And rythmic music filed the air.
I saw him ere the blight of sin
With inky stain had blackened his soul;
I saw him ere Prince Satin, in
His ghoulish glee, demanded toll.
(For all a heavy toll must pay
For sin, by whatsoever induced—
And only by repenting, may
Their fee for erring be reduced.)
I knew' him ere the cup of wine
Had kissed his lips or fired his brain;
Hot kiss from Hell, so Judas-like
That killing—it concealed the pain.
(Seductive draught! Perditions drink-
What Devil’s angel brought thee here
To lure men’s souls onto the brink
Os Hell, Remorse and deep Despair?)
I knew him when the songs he sang
Had decked his brow with wreath of
fame;
I knew him when a nation rang
With praises of his honored name.
I knew him then—l know' him now,
A blear-eyed, drunken, puling bum.
No wreath of myrtle crowns his brow,
But in its stead the “Curse of Rum.”
Oh! God! what ravages doth time
Mark on ‘the sinful, human face;
The beauty that was once sublime
With cunning stealth—it doth erase
And leaves instead in large, bold hand
A grewsome sign—whereon is writ:
“Behold in me a drunkard—and
Os God’s first image—“counterfeit.”
Thrice blessed those—who tempted not
See no allurement in the bowl,
For more by luck than merit, they
Protect a name and save a soul.
‘So thrice in pity should they gaz.e
On those w'ho lack the power of will—
And pray to God to Stop the craze
For drink, that doth he drunkard fill.

FOLLOWING THE HOUNDS.
. It is not alone in exceptional recreations
like fox-hunting, that a woman needs steady
nerves, strong muscles and a healthy, vig
orous constitution. She needs them in her
every day duties and pleasures. Recently
a Buffalo lady called upon Dr. R. V. Pierce
of that city and stated that she was so nerv
ous that after months of trial she could
not learn to ride a bicycle.
She was put under a scientific course of
treatment, consisting of Dr. Pierce’s Golden
Medical Discovery before meals and his
‘‘ Favorite Prescription ” after meals. The
“Favorite Prescription” promptly cured
the weakness and disease of the organs dis
tinctly feminine, from which she suffered
and restored strength and steadiness to the
nerves. The “ Golden Medical Discovery ”
cleansed the blood, making it pure, rich
and invigorating, and built up solid, mus
cular flesh. The lady now rides her bicycle
with grace and ease and without trepida
tion. Both medicines are for sale by medi
cine dealers. Dr. Pierce answers letters
from ailing women without charge.
“I suffered with a bearing down pain in my
pelvis and a hurting in my back and loins,”
writes Mrs. Tillie Cunningham, of Weir, Choctaw
Co., Miss. “Whenever I would take a walk or
ride very far it would always make me sick.
After using Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription
and ‘ Golden Medical Discovery ’ for three
months I can ride or walk and feel well after,
wards. My appetite is good, all of my bad feel,
ings have disappeared and I am. strong and well.'*

Ah! Here’s the herald of
Springtime and gladness.
Joyfully, playfully.
Laughing at me;
Resting in innocence,
Kissed by the sunshine,
Spreading its leaflets in
Excellent glee.
Gracefully swayed by the
Zephyrs that wander,
Daily and nightly o’er
Meadows and brook,
Somewhat concealed by tjie
Fair hand of nature,
Content it blooms in the
Shade of this nook.
Dainty white violet,
Emblem of Venus,
Now over-runs my heart
Fraught with thy praise;
And, as the lipuid when
Vcured from a full phial.
Gushes it forth in its
Own chosen ways.
Own chosen ways.
Comely and beautiful.
Gay aud refreshing,
’Wakened so softly by
Sol’s gentle rays,
Live and be happy, thou
Heavenly blossom.

Others ablaze.
