WHITE LABOR.

The Stock Report of Monday has
the following.
Several proprietors of employ
ment agencies appeared before the
Labor Bureau last evening to give
their views on the labor problem.
Several of the leading white agents
testified to the following fac is:
There are $500 idle men IN the
CITY outside Of the tailor and cigar
business, this is one third less than
last year. The reason that more
men are employed this year is that
industries are more active and tina t
there is a disposition to supplant
the Chinese. If white men are
paid fair living wages and were
given good food there would be no
trouble in getting any number. 1t
was stated that California employ
ers did not treat their white help
like human beings and that they
did not take any pains in getting
along with them as they did with
the Chinese. If the employers OF
Chinese would exert themselves
Just a little'they could easily dis
pense with their Chinese. 1t was
stated that there are any number
of horticulturists in France, Ger
many and Switzerland who would
gladly come here to replace the
Chinese and would in time make
good citizens. The influx Of labor
ors at present was shown to be
greater than ever before.
A Chinese employment agent
thought the Chinese in the fruit
raising business could not be sup
planted in less than three years

THE SECOND PUBLIC RAILWAY.
The Liverpool q Manchester was the next
public railway that was made. Constant
delays in the transport OF goods, and conse-
4ueht interruption 10 trade had awakened
the manufacturers OF Manchester and the
merchants Of Liverpool to the necessity and
Importance OF seeking increased and i'm
proved means OF communication between
those thriving towns. Though the opposi-
tion was even fiercer than in the case OF the
Stockton & Darlington line, the projectors
eventually succeeded in carrying a bill
through Parliament, and the works were
undertaken by Mr.. Stephenson. One of the
most prominent and interesting amongst the
difficulties was that of carrying the line over
Chat Moss, treacherous floating bog about
four miles In length and thirty five ieet in
depth. 1t WAS on section OF the line under
the care OF his assistant John Dixon, who
afterwards became consulting engineer TO
the Stockton * Darlington company, and
to whose humorous and instructive anecdotes
II has often been my privilege and pleasure
to listen. The tunnel at the Liverpool end
and the viaduct over the Sankey Valley were
also formidable undertakings in that day.

His name is writ on history's page,
And age shall proudly tell To age
The triumphs that he won.
sTEPHENsoN's CENTENARY.
The 9th of June, 1851, was the centenary of
his birth, when due honor and respect was
paid to the memory OF great man, whose
reputation needs no eulogy, the benefits of
whose genius We will enjoy and the fruits of
whose labors are daily increasing and ex.
tending. 1t is as the practical author and
founder OF the railway system that the name
of George Stephenson Is honored. In en-.
deavoring to establish an improved means of
communication between one place and an
other, which he foresaw was going to be the
grand achievement of the locomotive, he was
deserted by the profession of engineers, and
he stood alone to plead its cause. But he
feared not the result Of his convictions.
Alone he faced the ridicule of council and
committee he was jeered at and bantered
by men whose education and professional
knowledge no doubt afterwards caused them
to blush when they found that the self taught
colliery boy was right and they were wrong.
Stephenson had an object in view which he
attained he prophesied results which have
been accomplished. He fought the battle OF
the locomotive against overwhelming odds |;
he dispelled the fears of the public, averted
the objections of his opponents, and obliter-
ated the prejudice against railways with the
same ease with which he leveled the hills or
bridged the ravines which menRced their
construction and Ii IL because OF the sue
cessful outcome of his labors, the triumphant
issue OF his undaunted courage and faithful
pursuit OF his object that the name of George
stephenson will be borne on the wings OF
civilization to every new country that is sub
dued, as the railways open out and develop
the various resources, and as the locomotive
heralds the dawn of brighter times, the open
Ing OF fresh fields OF labor, and proves the
hsrbinger Of commerce. enlightenment aud
continued prosperity.
