THE CENTRAL PACIFIC GRAB-GAME.

The Reno Journal of yesterday refers to a
phase of the policy of the Central Pacific
Railway Company toward its employees as
follows:
Yesterday forenoon the c. P, pay car ap-
peared in town, and proceeded to pay the en-
ployes of that road two months wages-all in
silver But the boys were not reduced ten
per cent. as was first intended. This makes
little difference in the mems favor This
pays the men all but one months wages due
them, the Company always holding that much
back as guarantee" and "safety." With
the discount on silver and the interest on the
immense sum held back in that months wa
ges, the c. P. Company have big income
from what justly belongs to their employees.
When will that company learn that well
paid man is a better workman and more reh-
able than man who is cheated and robbed
by his employer and only given pittancel
Greediness thrives by what it feeds on
and grows strong and more hungry. The
very bounty bestowed on the Central Pacific
Company by the Government and the Cali
fornia public, instead of satiating an appetite
for largess and for gain, has seemed to slim
ulate that corporation to new exertions for
the drainage of the publics Golfers. Lands,
public credit, the peoples money, all these
incidents of substantial wealth have merely
fed an increasing avarice. All thoughts of
generous public policy have been banished
from the company system. The manner Of
treatment of its employees is not only heart
less, mean and grasping, but it is impolitic
Slack service where prompt and careful work
is needed, feeling of Indifference to the com
pany's interests, and here and there, only too
often, the grounds of suspicion that the prop
erty of the road is destroyed out of revenge
for unjust treatment, these indicate the
sentiments which are provoked by a policy
which is at once narrow, parsimonious, mo-
nopolizing and unwise. These evils it is to
be hoped and believed, will breed their own
cure in time. 1t is our belief that that cure
will be found in the eventual ownership of
the trunk lines of railway by the general
Government and the formulation, under that
ownership of wise and liberal policy toward
the public and the employees

AN APOLOGY FOR IDLENEsS.

Extreme BUSINESS whether at school or
college, kirk or market, is sign of deficient
vitality and faculty for idleness implies q
catholic appetite and strong sense of per-
sonal identity. There is sort of dead alive
hackneyed people about, who are scarcely
conscious of living except in the exercise of
some conventional occupation. Bring these
fellows into the country or set them aboard
ship, and you will see how they pine for their
desk or their study. They have no curiosity;
they cannot give themselves over to random
avocations they do not take pleasure in the
exercise of their faculties for its own sake !;
and unless necessity lays about them with
stick, they will even stand still. 1t is no
good speaking to such folk, they cannot be
idle, their nature is not generous enough
and they pass those hours in a sort of coma
which are not dedicated to furious moiling in
the gold mill When they do not require to
60 to the Office, when they are not hungry
and have no mind to drink, the whole breath
ing world is blank to them. If they have
to wait an hour or SO for the train, they fall
into stupid trance, with their eyes open.
To see them, you would suppose there was
nothing to look at and no one to speak with;
you would imagine they were paralyzed or
alienated and yet very possibly they are hard
workers in their own way, and have good
eyesight for flaw in deed or turn of the
market. They have been to school and col
lege, but all the time they had their eye on
the medal they have gone about in the world
and mixed with clever people, but all the time
they were thinking of their own affairs. AS
If mans soul were not to small to begin with, |
they have dwarfed and narrowed theirs by |
life Of all work aud no play; until here they |
