The trades unions of England have
adopted a resolution that the eight-hOur
day should be made compulsory by par
lament. Slight advantages heretofore
gained by English workingmen have
been defeated by the employers. The
twelve-hour day is now the rule and
only an act of parliament or a general
strike can bring about the much desired
change, and as parliament is dominated
by the influence that is understood to be
opposed to the shorter hours system, it is
more than probable that the strike will
have to be resorted to when the formal
demand for the change is made,

The senate has adopted the confer
ence report on the river and harbor bill
and it is believed the house will, also;
though the bill as agreed upon by the
conference committee increases the
amount provided for in the house bill
something like $1,000, 900. As long as
such large amount had to be appropri-
ated the west would have been much
better pleased if larger sum had been
provided for the securing of deep har-
Dor on the gulf coast. Two millions a
year for three or four years would have
been no more of a "steal' than $500, 00O
to be continued indefinitely will be. The
work will be done eventually under the
policy adopted, only it will take longer
TO do it.

TIE MONETARY SITUATION.

The following are the opinions of some
of New Nork's prominent bank officers
upon the monetary situation, as quoted
by the Financier:
William p. st. John, president of the
Mercantile National, considers money.
for investment. no easier this week than
last. There Is still large and active de-
mand. President Williams. of the
Chemical National, gave the opinion that
money was a tritie easier this week, but
that there was demand for II that
could be obtained. President Cannon. of
the Chase National, regards money as
easier while Logan c. Murray, president
Of the United States National. finds little
change IN the monetary condition. Ii
happens that the United States has half a
million dollars more on hand this week
than last. w. w. Flanagan, presi-
dent Of the Southern National said:
Money Is very tight with us, as there is
a tremendous demand from the coun-
try. while we think money Is a little
easier this week than last, we have more
OF demand than we can supply. When
we loan one dollar there is demand for
i've, said Cashier Hickok, of the Ma
tional Park. President Sherman, of the
Washington National, regarded money
as little easier.
Although there Is always heavy de-
mand from the country at this season of
the year, the demand at present seems to
be heavier than usual. The banks are
all conservative on loans.

The senate has pretty nearly complet-
ed its work of amending the Mckinley
tariff bill. 1t has been considerably i'm
proved as a whole by that body though
it is not now in shape to meet the popu-
lar demands, of the west particularly.
Just what effect it will have upon the
finances of the government if it becomes
law in its present form, or as it will
probably pass the senate, occasions wide
difference of opinion; at best it is in the
nature of an experiment. But under the
circumstances it is, perhaps, as much as
it is reasonable to expect. The question
back of all this is, will the house accept
the senate amendments to the tariff bill:
Several of its members say it will not,
and if not it is almost certain no tariff
legislation will be had this session, as
the senate will hardly consent TO forego
its convictions and lose all of its
three months work on that measure,
which would be the effect of the houses
refusal to accept and the senate's reced-
ing from its amendments. A few days
ought to settle the question and proba-
bly, will.

RATHER PICTURE, QUE.

From the Kansas City Times
The Wichita EAGLE has portraits of the
recently elected officers of the Oklahoma
legislature. The popularity of the ewes
in each NAV be explained by the fact
that the small majorities they got when
they were elected caused the eyes Of the
candidates to stick stick out"
Prom the Guthrie Democrat
President Gardenhire can stand a good
deal, but that picture in the EAGLE was
too much for him. On looking at it he
made break for home and il Is feared
by some of the members that it Will re-
suit IN a serious case Of sickness.
Prom the Guthrie Capital.
1t was hardly the proper thing for the
Wichita EAGLE TO hunt up its old cuts of
the James boys and impose them on a
long-suffering public as photograp' of
the leading lights Of OklahOma's legisls-
ture.

Reports from London are to the effect
that signs of cholera are fast disappearing
there. 1t was not anticipated that the
plague would gain foothold IN that city,
and now the near approach of cooler
weather would seem to justify firm
prediction of the complete immunity of
of the community. Still, experience has
shown that there is danger from infection
in the warm season following the ravages
of cholera in the east. Vigilance will be
necessary for many months to come in
order to secure complete safety in North
ern and Western Europe and in this
country when another summer comes.

GEORGE, MGLYNN AND THE SINGLE
TAX MEN.

Hetry Georges admirers are afraid
that DIR. McGlynn is trying to split the
single tax party. They even say that he
attended the recent meeting to create
disorder, but this DIR. McGlynn denies.
The New York Herald states in this
connection that there has been a cool
ness between Henry George and DR.. Nc
Glynn ever since 1887, when DR.. Nc
Glynn, James Redpath and John Nc
Mackin, as a committee of the United
Labor party devised a scheme for a
national third party organization.
Henry George refused TO be inter
viewed upon the subject of the split,
but DIR. McGlynn was quite ready to ex-
press his opinion freely. He said, in re-
Spouse to the inquiry of the Herald re-
porter, 81 always have been opposed to
making the land tax organization tail
to either the Democratic or Republican
kite. i do not like the idea of throwing
single tax men into the Democratic
party"
From these expressions it may be gath
ered InaC III MI. george snOuld ueclue 10
stand again next year for mayor of New
York he may have against him DIR. Nc
Glynn and the Anti-Poverty society in
spite of his 1000 followers.
While it is apparent, therefore, that at
the outset there is trouble ahead for the
single tax party, it must be admitted
that when 1900 people attend the meet
ing, to which delegates from all parts of
the country are sent as representatives.
even if only of the small groups in the
various sections entertaining those
views, nevertheless here is the beginning
of a movement which may develop far
greater strength when the Farmers Al
lance shall have failed in the efforts
which it is making to solve those ques-
tons which the age presents.

Our Kansas contemporaries are not
tumbling over each other TO demonstrate
how their tariff reduction theories can be
carried out without precipitating a treas
hry dehcit-EmDoria Republican.
Granting that as true, the high tariff
champions have failed to show how their
theory will prevent the same result.
Come now, governor; lets be honest
about this. Show us how a deficit is be

quarter of century, but the people

swapping it for one that might prove
worse. That would be hard TO do.

Globe-Democrat: The only western
Republican senators who have the cour-
age of their convictions in dealing with
the tariff are Messrs. Plumb and Pad
dock. The others will get promptly
braced up when they reach home after
the session The CD compliment TO
the two senators is well placed, but it is
unnecessarily exclusive: Senators Ingalls,
and Henderson have been earnest and
faithful fellow-helpers to their colleagues.

Buying 100000 ounces of silver day,
says the Atchison Champion, brightenS
things mp in the west. And so il does.
Even the purchase of 4.5O0,00O a month
is good enough as long as it lasts.
Well, the sentiment of the country
is known on the silver question now.
and, maybe, by the time the
limit of purchasing bullion July
l, 1917 is reached the Saw can
again be amended SO as more nearly
conform to the popular demand and the
oountry's needs. The present law Will
certainly add $50, 600, 600 TO the perman-
ent currency of the country, and this
added to the 500, 100000 to be released
under the Plumb amendment to the bill
will go long way towards relieving the
present financial stress.
