STANDARD TrNx.-The adoption Of
standard time proposed by the railroad
maRnates, meets with some opposition
In Eastern cities. But every Argument
brought against the plan thus far 10 Of q
false nature; as il il assumed that there
will b two kinds of time kept in each
city. thus causing conflict and trouble
a. regards banking hours, court orders,
closing Of the polls, and in various 9TH
or WAYS. The simple fact 10 that at all
places on or near the proposed division
lines. standard time and solar time il
tho same. At places between the divis-
ion mofidians there il a variation, but
not in any case To exceed thirty minutes.
What harm could possibly result IL
citizens Of Cleveland, Ohio. should set
their time keepers back half hour to
conform to standard time? What mat
ter II at some other city or village the
noon whistle or bell varies from true
solar time thirty minutes or less? What
every city needs is one bell or signal of
some kind whereby all may know the
hour of t. 0lve at each day, and thus be
able to regulate their time pieces and
actions in concert. The discussion of
this time keeping subject has revived
an old question as to the construction
Of clocks. and the divisions Of the day.
Some advocate the adoption of the old
Roman plan Of having clocks made to
mark and strike from one to twenty
four each day, instead of from ono to
twelve and repeat. On the other hand,
those Who object TO so much "bell
music" wish to adopt the decimal plan,
and have only ten hours in each day,
each hour TO be divided into tenths,
and again subdivided, al may be con-
veDient. We are inclined to favor the
decimal plan, but all reforms Of value
are exceedingly slow, and we are not
sanRuine that any change from the old
style Of clocks will be effected in our
generation.

FREIaHT NJ THE CoLLrERs.-The ar
rival Of the Walla Walla yesterday, just
in the nick Of time, loaded down with
Christmas goods to replenish the re.
duced stocks Of our merchants, should
call tho attention of the public TO the
great advantages offered TO seattle ship
pers by the golfers. There 10 an i'm
preston abroad that these steamers do
not carry freight, or at least do not care
especially for it. This impression ID
entirely erroneous. On the contrary,
they desire all the freight obtainable,
and are able to carry il moro quickly
and land Il in better condition than any
other vessels plYing between here and
San Francisco. The delay At Port
Townsend and Victoria, and the break
ing Of cargo at the latter place, which
Is such an inconvenience to shippers by
the Pacific Coast Line steamers, Is en-
tirely obvisted by the colliers, which
make no stops whatever. Seattle ship
pers should appreciate these advantages.
