On August 1 , the eight hour law
cd by the late loglslaturtHooU olToct nnd
it is now In forco. As n ploco of legisla
tion it li open to novoral criticisms. As
u declaration of policy it Is n great vic
tory for the laboring mo > of Nebraska
nnd the country nt largo. It Is mor--ly
the entering wedge , however. U is
moro In thu nature of an oiliclal approval
of the theory of the eight hour day than
an enforcement of the principle itself.
It makes such n day possible and twTili :
IJKi : understood the friends of the meas
ure nt the time of Its onacltnant into n
law It was their Intention lo rest satis
fied with the fact of the pass-igo of the
law nnd nvvalt developments before fol
lowing tip their ndvnnlngc.
The theoretic eight-hour day has in
view two very commendable purposes.
The llrst is n reduction of the hours of
labor to enable workingmen to tuko rec
reation and devote sotno time to study.
The second is to increase the demand
for laborers. The first Idea is felici
tously sot forth in the well known senti
ment : "Kight hours for work , eight
hours for Mtutlynml recreation nnd olght
hours for bleep. " Thu second idea is
based upon the proposition that there
are thousands of worthy laboring men
out of employment because tiioro iri network
work enough to go around. A reduc
tion of the liours of labor whicn the in
dividual shall perform mikes ; n demand
for additional individuals and so the un
employed have employment and wages.
In other words if 1,01)0 ) men work 10,000
hours nt 10 hoard each per day , the same
labor will employ l--50 men tit eight
hours each per day.
The enactment and enforcement of the
Nebraska law is an important stop in
the economics of this country , but the
reform which it was souirht to inaugu
rate can not bo made in n , single day.
The business of the country cannot at
once adapt itself to the now order of
tilings. Patience should control both
sides of the controversy. The working
people with tlie law on their 'side can
nlTord to 1 temperate in llioir demands
and ought to be satisfied fora tlmo with
the fact of the enactment of the law look
ing to its enforcement by degrees in
stead of arbitrary immediate demands.
On the ether hand capitalists and em
ployers ot labor have known since the
last days of the legislature that the law
was enacted. They should have taken
the necessary stops either to test the
constitutionality of the act immediately
after the date when it should go into ef
fect or they bhould have prepared
themselves for its enforcement in
good faith. Organized labor
and organized capital might have met
each ether on common ground and have
entered into n mutual agreement either
for the enforcement of the law or the
test of its constitutionality. It was un
wise on the part of both to postpone
conference until now and extremely unfortunate -
fortunate for all concerned that it should
bo allowed to plunge the commercial
interests of the city into chaos when
fonsonnblo concessions on both sides
would have avoided such misfortunes as
have como upon both employers and
employed.
It is unfair for the laboring mon to
demand an arbitrary advance of pay of
twenty-live per cent , or moro in times of
business depression. There are no em
ployers of labor in Omaha or Nebraska
making exceptional profits at this timo.
Many of them are losing money.
Laboring men are badly in need of em
ployment in all these western
cities , and Omaha is no exception. The
eight-hour law looked to the employ
ment of many who are distressed for
want of wages. A reduction of pay for
eight hours' labor was anticipated by the
trainers of the law by reason of the
financial conditions prevailing , but it
was urged in its behalf tint the loss to
ono man would go to the support of an
other. The act is weak in that it per
mits employers to pay employes by the
hoar or month , or oven wool : , without
regard to the number of hours per day.
It was therefore a very natural thing for
employers to uocido upon wages per
hour , nionth or week , instead of day for
day labor. To avoid the penalties of
the act an individual contract is neces
sary for the protection of the employer.
Thebo are the conditions and the
sober , thinking working mon will ap
preciate them. The agit itors who por-
sptro only from over-worked jaws may
howl themselves hoar&o and mislead
these of their followers who have not
carefully thought out the situation ,
but cannot avoid the facts. The
sooner reasonable concessions are made
the sooner agreements f'lir ' to all con
cerned will be entered into and the toi--
riblo waste of money and loss of time to
wage-workers will cease. TIIK BKU
regrets that milder counsel has not pre
vailed. It is a deplorable misfortune at
this time to have $30,000 per month
withdrawn from circulation and from
the support of needy families , when to
nil appearances trilling concessions
from both sides would have carried the
city , the wage-workers and the Smelt
ing works company through the crisis
unharmed.
.1 COMMKffnAJlhK
The record of the present national ad
ministration regarding the public lands
has boon highly commendable. Very
soon after it came into po'.VJr the princi
ple was nnnouncod that tlu homo-Hook
ing settler must bo p osiimoa to bo
honest till the contr.iry was clearly
shown. The result of this change of
policy appmr.s In the fa-5ts showing the
amount of business finally disposed of in
the general land ell ! u foi * the first twj
fiscal yoiiiM of the CJlovohin.l iilmtnisttM-
tion and the corresponding time of the
Harrison administration.
oStatistics compiled by the Now York
Jl/uM < { Kxprcss show that under
Cleveland the number of agricultural
patents Issued was llr > l'l , while under
Harrison the number was U 11,007 , mak
ing a dllleronco of nearly 1KK,000 ) moro
homos gr.mtoJ to honest settlers uiilor
the promt administration than wore
granted under the prouodlng ono
during the fh-st tivj years. It
is also shown that utvlur the doma-
crntlo administration 12,1 II mineral pit-
outs wcro issued , whllo the present ul-
ministration had issued such patents up
to the closa of the second Usual year to
the number of : i)01 ) , or about one-third
more. Of coil : patents there were issued
during the llrst two yo : M of the Clove-
Innd mlmlulstr.iMon only ( H , whUu
there have brvu Nstn > l titular the pro-
out administration JH , or nearly
seven tlmm as in-inv ns wore
allowed by the Interior dopart-
merit under U.u do-noiir.itlo admlnl-Hra-
lion. It is to bo olwarvo-l also , that this
great Increase in the public business
has boon aecomplUho.1 without any In
creased oxponao to the government.
These fainill ir with Vho land policy of
the Cleveland administration , so far at
related to settlers , uood not 1)3 told that
it was the mojt lllllnml ntul iinjtut over
practiced since the land luw.s wont Into
olToct. Ostensibly Intended to protect the
public lands against dlshono3t settlers
and to sucuro n falllllnnnt of log.il ro-
qulromont.M , it operated to deprive
thousands of honest settlers of their
lawful rights , while undoubtedly dolor-
ring many who would have baeoino
settlers from entering hinds. The pres
ent administration , whllo Insisting upon
n full performance of every legal re
quirement , and exorcising the utmost
cnro and vigllanc3 to m-ovont
fraud and dishonesty has pur
sued a liberal comvo toward
.settlors In harmony with the spirit nnd
intent of the laws , and the gratifying
result is seen in the above statistics.
The republican party gave the country
the legislation by which the most fruit
ful portion of the country Iris boon built
up , and the pro.sent administration has
shown itself to bo in full sympathy with
tin.purpo.se of that legislation. Tito
record it has made in this respect is not
the least commendable part of its
creditable history.

The democratic and mugwump press
of the east is being advised that the re
publicans of Iowa are vary much wor
ried over the situation in that state ,
that desertions from the party are num
erous , and that the loaders are trying to
conjure up some way lo stem the rising
lido in favor of the democratic candi
date. It need hardly bo said that there
is no information of this kind in this sec
tion , and the democratic organs of Iowa
are not making any claims of this kind ,
though they would surely do so if there
was the slightest ground. On the con
trary the most trustworthy information
is that while the republicans of Iowa
fully roali/o that they have n. hard light
before thom , and that thorough organ
ization and active , aggressive work will
bo necessary to success , they tire not
without confidence.
The campaign in Iowa has
not yet opened , and until it does
open and is somewhat advanced
no judgment worthy of consider
ation can bo formed as to the
prospects of either party. Tl'o state
ments or opinions of newspaper corre
spondents at this time are of very little
value , because they are certain to bo
colored to Imrmonr/.o with the political
leanings of the napors for which they
write. No less untrustworthy is the
gossip which is sent abroad regarding
alleged combinations and plans
entered into or contemplated ,
as for example the report recently sent
out that an arrangement had been
made for a coalition of the republican
and prohibition parties. There is every
reason to believe that no such thing has
boon thought of or is likely to bo sought
by the republican leaders.
There is ground for confidence in the
success of the Iowa republicans this
year in the fact that the conditions are
moro favorable to that party than they
have been before for several years. The
agricultural interests of the state
tire assured a , prolonged period
of prosperity , and it will not
bo easy to convince any considerable
number of intelligent farmers that it is
wise in such circumstances to vote
nghinst the party which stands for hon
est money nnd is seeking the broadest
possible extension of the markets for
their products. The assertion of the
democracy that the tnrilT policy of the
republican party has had the effect to
lower the price of everything the agri
cultural producers have to boll and
to increase the cost of everything
they have to buy , the farmers of
Iowa know by practical experience to bo
fulso. Whllo that policy may not in
every respect commend itself to their
approval , they know that none of the
evils prophesied of it by the democratic
party have boon experienced. Under
it the homo demand for their pro
ducts has boon preserved and
enlarged , many of the nccobsarios
have been cheapened , and taking the
whole range of his requirements the
farmer is able to supply him
self today for loss money than
the biimo articles would have
cost him a year ago. The producers of
Iowa are in favor of honest money.
They want a dollar for a dollar's worth
of their products. They are opposed to
any policy the otToct of which would bo
to depreciate the currency ami impair
the credit of the nation. The democrats
demand a policy regarding silver that
would entail n silver standard , and the
intelligent farmers of low i understand
what this would mean.
The republicans of Iowa have nothing
to four from the
discussion of the na
tional ibsues which will be prominent in
the campaign , and their position with
respect to these ought to insure the
party succobs. Hut there must bo thor
ough organization and an aggressive
assertion of the principles of repub
licanism.
