SATURDAY, APRIL 20. 18K9.
THS l'.IGllT HOI'It LAW. Our last legislature passed an eight-hour law which goes into effect in Juiy. Eight-hours thereafter will constitute a legal days work. The original clainorers aud all their followers who have so strongly desired this law will hereafter be looked upon as Deesticks would say, as daiuphools, because there is so little good sense and reason in this movement Ten hours is not too lnne a prorpotion of the twenty-four to devote to toil in fact law or not law there will have to be as many hours devoted to liioor as heretofore. If there is less labor there will le less mouey paid for it. The whole thing rests on the matter of supply and demand. You canuot force corporations and firms to pay as mtich for eight-hour work as for ten, and they never will. If eight-hour work should menu teu hours pay why not make six hours do the same thiug, after that four, and finally cease from labor altogether? There is about as much reason in one as the other. It would be a graud thiug if we could get along without labor altogether, but somehow with most of people it has never been a success, and "that man shall labor by the sweat of his brow" seems to have been a self-evident axiom that in all the centuries of the past and at the present time cannot be displaced. The agitators of this eight-hour law were wonderfuilj lazy men, who were not in love with work, aud desired others to be of the same disposition. It will be found also that in many cases they belabored capitalists with their tongues and quietly applauded the anarchists iu much of their silly iusane talk aud actious. Employers, tho3e who foot the bills, will of course be compelled to regulate wages 'i ['foportiou to the hours of working. Laboring wen will be paid by the hour instead of by the day, and will get uo more for their labor than formerly except where there is increased demand for it. A man, for iustance who is now receiving !jjl,50 for teu hours work or at the rate of 15 cents per hour, will hereafter receive $1,20 for eight hours work, and so much for each additioual hour he may desire to labor. The whole thing is a useless innovation, is the work of unthinking, impracticable agitators, aud will amouut to nothing after a year or more trial.
TILL GOOD TIMES.
If the present is a specimen of the good times aud prosperous days that was to come iu as soon as UarriBon was elected, the business men desire as few of them as possible. Business iu almost all lines is duller aud less active now all over this country than for ten years past. Failures in business, and some extensive ones too, have been very frequent for six months past. The loaners ot money have little difficulty iu bringing borrowers to their terms, aud placing money at good payiug interest rates. The iron trade, the most extensive of any iu the country, has beeu dull and drooping. Strikes still continue, and many corporations are demanding that their employees accept lower wages or cease from labor. Said a business mau the other day "I have beeu engaged in business for tweuty-seven years, but have nevej known business so dull and sluggish in Crawfordsville as now." The same complaint is heard in numerous other places through the west. What was not promised in the way of prosperity during the last campnigu by republicau orators in the event of Harrison's electiou it would be difficult to forget. If you would only vote for the tariff candidates, and continue to aid wealthy mauufactuers in adding to their wealth, there was no calculating the advantages it would be to the laboring men aud merchants of this country. The laboring men of this country can gradually begin to see what all those assertions amount to. They can realize in reduced wages unreduced rents, etc.. the prosperity that was immediately to be observed just as soou as Harrison was elected. Near six months liav^i passed since that event, and instead of better times in business the opposite is seen. The democratic policy which favored a reduction of the tariff, ami not the continuation of laws wholly in the interest of the wealthy, is the correct one, aud prosperity can soonest be reached through it. Four years of Harrison's prosperous times will no doubt be enough for the country, auil those not directly interested in lustainlug monopolists ami svealthy corporations, will see it, and by their votes no longer favor the party which lie represents, jgjpf
UK DESELLVKS AVIIAT UK KKCKIVES. The constant hammering that the Indianap" oils Sentinel is bestowing npon Judge(?) Woods is well deserved, and if such work would drive birr, from the bench it should continue. The public has given too much reverence to very many of these so-termed Fed" oral Judges, who receive their appointments from the President. Instead of a second Solomon as many have foolishly pictured them they by their actions would seem more akin to tho manager of the regions below. Iu the case of Woods Ins partizan feeling and political action in the trial of Coy, Democrat, on one hand, and the prompt liberation of over 100 Republicans indicted for offences equally criminal on the other, clearly indicate the animus of the man. His political prejudice predominates over all considerations of justice and fair play. There can be no doubt about this. Attorneys as fully posted in the intricacies of the law as himself, who can distinguish right and wrong under whatever guise they may appear, as well as he, have read the man at once by his dicisions. It is unfortunate for the commonwealth that such a man should be choseu to fill the houorablo position of a Judge in a court of the United States. The interest of every man is liable to be in jeopardy—especially if he does not vote the Republican ticket—who may be called up before that court, and as for justice he may rarely receive it where the destiny of ins cause is

the hands of a politician and
not a Judge.

THE colored penple who expect any very lucrative offices under the Harrison administration are doomed to disappointment. They are not coaxed into voting tho Republican ticket for that purpose.
THE CRAWFORDSVILLE WEEKLY REVIEW
THE COLORED VOTE.
The colored voters were rallied in full force all over the country last November at the election precincts to vote for Harrison. We have seen no estimate but it can, we think, with safety be asserted that nine-tenths of them voted the Republican ticket. They have very generally been taught since the war to believe that Democrats were their enemies, and to support a Democrat for official position very generally ostracised the voter of their color who dared to do so. Gradually, however, the intelligent portion ot the colored voters are beginning to see that the sole aud only use the Republican party has for them is their votesnothing else. The leaders of the party are always lukewarm to them after the election. They do not need them after that time until the next election. In all the appointments ot foreign ministers, con sets, in the interior and postal departments under the Harrison administration does any body know of any colored men being appointed to a prominent paying position? Nona. When it comes to janitors or horse drivers it may be that around the White House a few colored men may be found. But where are the Douglasses, Hintons and other prominent colored' men so far as official position* are concerned? They are in the ranks. They are not wanted now any more until '02. It is time the colored men who read and think should kuow of their true positiou in th^ Republican party. If they are to be merely hewers of wood and drawers of water they should learn the position they are to occupy, and the sooner learned the better.
OKLAHOMA.
The territory of Oklahoma will be opened for settlement Monday next at noon. The news from that locality will probably be unusually interesting for a few months. There are said to be ten claimants for every desirable quarter section of land in the new territory, and the rush of each man to secure land will be appalling. Rifles and revolvers will be used extensively in proving their rights to the^ property claimed. Just such actions as those^ have existed bpfore in the opening of new territories in the west and will be repeated in Oklahoma. While there is plenty of just as good land as that of this new territory yet unoccupied, and which can be obtained easily, many of the boomers pass over it to hurry on to the much talked of Oklahoma, under the impression that it is the best and the chances better.
ASIDE from house building and transactions in real estate, business in the gas belt cities is no better, according to traveling men, than anywhere else in the State. Merchants have no better trade than formerly, prices of wheat and corn are no higher, and competition for business is very strong. A carpenter from here writing over to the gas belt city of Anderson for work was answered at once by the information that wages in his line were $1.50 per day, and no more. Mechanics in that line are paid better wages than that here. There are too many mechanics, merchants and laboring men already in the gas regions, and the jconsequence is that few of them are making any money, or doing any better, if as well, as these outside the belt.
THE mugwump postmaster of New York, appointed by Cleveland, is promptly bounced as he should have leen as soon as Harrison assumed the reigns of power. He should not have been appointed in the first place but some stalwart Democrat should have been. There would have been a fitness in this. Harrison has appointed a Republican. By this he rightr ly determines to recognize his party and its interests in so doing. Cleveland did not do this, but by todying to an insignificant organization in appointing one of its members to an important position aided to a considerable extent in bringing about bis own defeat. By temporizing with small things greater ones were forgotten and disaster following as a consequence.
FARMERS are organizing against the binder twiue trust in many counties of the west, and it would look like that "trust" was one that could not make a success in its attempted exactious off of the homey handed yeomanry. Iu some localities they propose engaging in the growth extensively of flax tow from which the binding material cau be manufaetored, while others propose to bind after the old style with straw. The farmers should know that trusts are something with which the people have uo concern, as Jauies G. Blaine said, although just at preseut they are giving the binder twine trust considerable concern.
LITTLE stock should be taken in the profession of a man terming himself a protection Democrat. No Democrat can be such and favor the protection theories of the Republican party. Cariile, the representative from Pennsylvania, might properly be labeled the "protection" Democrat, but he has no influence any more with the party, never will again, and should go over baggage and all where he properly belongs. The Democracy has no use for such timber. Away with your protection Democrats.
The fun will set in in the Oklahoma Territory on Monday next after 12 o'clock. There is enough land for about 10,000 homesteaders of 160 acres each. There are fully, it is stated, 75,000 persons ready to move in, each of whom expect to "enter" laud. It is very probable that a number of them will be entered on land, but it will be in tracts of six foot by two, judging from the great scramble and contest that is soon to take place then
STEVK DORSEY, who was the savior of Indi ana in 1880, is now mad because Harrison has violated the Republican platform by not appointing a full-fledged citizen Governor of New Mexico. Dorsey claims that Mr. Prince, who was recently appointed Governor, is no citizen of New Mexico. "Official pap" is causing considerable trouble in the grand old party, especially among the saviors.
AN item floating ground through the papers last week stated that a man named White, eight feet in height, had lately died in Madison county, this State. It is remarkable how such reports will receive credence. It is probable that no man has lived in this century who has attained such an altitude as that given above regardless of what showmen exhibiting giants may say.
THE Legislature of Michigan have in contemplation the passage of a law preventing the manufacture and sale of cigarettes. It is needed in every state. The smoking of this poisonous thing has resulted in the death of many people through the country. Several cases aleo of insanity resulting from the use of cigarettes have lately been chronicled.
PRESIDENT HARRISON and wife attended the theater in Washington City a few evenings siuce. The excessively pious who consider the theater such a wicked place and the patronage of such a place as entirely wrong should make a note of this, and when Harrison is a candidate in '92, spot him for this great breach of morality.
A SON of the late Henry Ward Beecher has been arrested at Townsend, Oregon, for swindling the government, be having been appointed to some position during Cleveland's administration, through the mugwumpian influence of his father. He gave bond in the sum of f5,000 for his future appearanpe at court.
Oklahoma.
The following interview will be of interest to many in this county, especially when coming from the Reverend gentlemen who is so well known to all. It is taken from the Terre Haute Gazette.
Rev. J. T. Phillips, of Sullivan county, was in the city to-day enroute home from Oklahoma, where he has been on a prospecting tour, and it is safe to say that there is not a more thoroughly disgusted man to be found in the State. A Gazette writer approached him this morning and asked him what he thought of the Oklahoma country. He glanced at the scribe with an injured look as though some one bad just stepped on his pet corn and said that he thought it was an awful place. "Iu my opinion there are about three men to every acre of ground and more are constantly arriving. The railroads are reaping a rich harvest, but I am afraid they are the only ones benefited. There are now about 15,000 people on the ground fighting and wrangling over the best pieces and human life is not at all safe. There are hordes of desperadoes ready to kill and plunder without a moment's notice and the rabble generally have no regard for the women and children among them or the feelings of others. "There is one band of about -eight hundred men who have banded together for mutual aid and protection and their precaution is neces. sary for law and order is foreign in that country. There is a promiscuous intermingling of men, women, children, horses, pack mules and moving wagons and the entire population is constantly on the move, the whole resembling the maneuvers of a swarm of bees more than anything else I know of. Beef is worth twenty cents per pound and a good meal cannot be bought for less than 60 or TO cents. Many people have gone there without the meaus of returning and in a very short time misery and destitution will drive them to desperation. In my opinion human life will be of little value there when the money which the boomers took with them give? out. I went out to look around with a view of settling it everything was favorable, but I won't go back. The land is near-, ly all good, but there are too many claimants."
Clmrcli Music.
MR. EDITOR: It is considered rude to find fault with anything that has the semblance of Christian worship, or that is intended to make men and women wiser or better, but I shall enter my protest against some of the performances that are palmed off on a patient public, by some of our church choirs, under the guise of sacred music.
5,
RHODE ISLAND recently went Democratic by a plurality of over four thousand, yet by her constitution it take3 a majority to elect, aud the Republican Legislature will no doubt select Republican officers, where Democrats did not have a majority of the votes. Most states elect by a plurality.
HARRISON is gradually turning the "rascals" out, and in the consular and postal service this is particularly to be noticed. This is right and proper. We caunot see what fitness there is iu a Democrat holding a position uuder a Republican administration. They have no business there,
imps
When I go to church I do not care to hear a bad rendering of theatrical music but I prefer to hear that solemn melodious singing that should characterize Christian worship. When I want to hear Jancy singing I will go to where they piractice for that purpose. If there is any one thing in our .cUurches, that is more out of place than another it is the mockery that is manifest in much of our choir singing. If a stranger should happen to drop into where some of our church choirs or Sunday schools were in full blast he might mistake the music as einenating from some second-hand minstrel show, dancing hall, hurdy-gurdy house or some such resort. This may sound harsh and rude to some, and especially to the young, who have never though! seriously upon this subject, but a close and caroful analysis of the subject may cause some people to open the eyes of their understanding and look at it in its true light. I am not objecting to fancy singing or fine music, but I do want things called by their right names and kept where they belong.
We are told that the Psalmist David worshiped God with the tyinbol and dance as though his examples and precepts applied to us. If any mau in this town should do as King David iu some things, he would be mobbed at once. David was not a Christian, because he lived before this dispensation, and his utterances were made at a time when revelry aud debauchery knew no bounds when dancing and merriment were common among all classes, at certain times when nearly all men who could afford it were polygamists, and when inauy women sold themselves as concubines for honor and emolument.
If one of those effete excrescences of Judaism belong to the church now why not all? It is true that the tymbol and tambourine, or similar musical instruments, are used in some churches now, but they are without scriptural sanction except by influence,for God has established a new order of things leaving out those idolatrous customs that pay homage to tho iiesh and the devil, because He in His infinite wisdom fore-saw the baleful influences that would naturally follow those heathenish customs.
