limitations are given out every day or
two that the various trades unions of the
country are making preparations for a
formal demand for the Inauguration Of
the eight hour system on the 1st of May,
as was announced several months ago.
Without discussing the merits of the
proposition, we cannot but think such a
demand at this time impolitic and iIlad-
vised. The commercial and industrial
interests of the country are just now be-
ginning to emerge from a season of pro
tracted and trying depression, and for
anything to occur that might be avoided,
that is calculated to check the present re-
aival. as such demand will undoubtedly.
be because it is sure to precipitate strikes
and lockouts. incidents that nobody
wants and that the community cannot
afford to have. We are not questioning
the business Of the pending demand, but
the expediency of making it until the
country shall have had time to get its
breath, so to speak.

The influenza or la grippe epidemic
seems to have completely subsidized; one
never sees it mentioned now This dis
appearance of mention of the ailment
from the public prints was almost as sud
den as was the widespread prevalence Of
the disease Immediately after it appeared
in the country. History gives no ac-
count of a disease that became so univer-
sally epidemic throughout the world, or
one that wrought greater destruction to
human life in the aggregate in SO short
time. In view of this last fact its all but
instantaneous. disappearance from public
mention is about as remarkable as any
of the peculiar freaks of the epidemic.

that the fall of the object was preceded
by a loud roaring noise almost like
