Great diversity of opinion prevails
among French representatives and en-
ployers of labor who have been consult,
ed relative to the reorganization of the
existing working hours. The persons
appealed to were members of Syndicats-
patronau, or Employers associations,
Workingmens associations, chambers Of
commerce, Councils of Prud hommes,
and others. Out of 235 replies received
from employers POI were against any al
teration, others proposed ten hours, and
only two were in favor of eight hours
Out of the 410 replies from workingmen's
syndicates 38 were opposed to any change,
and 1856 recommended eight hours, with
out over time; 4S were for eight hours,
with overtime, and 43 for ten hours only.
The remainder wavered between nine
hours with and the same period without
overtime. More than half of the mem
bers of the Councils of Prud'hommes
were against any alteration, others pro-
posing ten and eleven hours only, four
being for eight hours alone Out of 64
answers from the chambers of commerce

THE DespoTIsM OF TO-DAY.


The Nobility OF wealth ~ presents More
power Than tie Sword Ever Controlled.
The feudalism Of the past was that OF
birth and rank. The right to rule, won
bv the father, descended to the son. To-
day the right to control the de5tiny, aye.
the very lives, of more thousands than
were ever held in vassslage by any lord,
descenGs by inheritance or bequest from
the master of mihions. The nobility OF
wealth today represent more power than
the sword ever controller. Is it less
dangerous? Is the power of life and
death less perilous because the weapon
it wields is measured by Troy weight
rather than by averdupois? The rich are
not all bad, nor were the feudal lords all
tyrants. The nobility of feudalisIn no
doubt represented a much higher level
Of intelligence, enterprise and what is
often termed public spirit than those
who were subject to their control. They
had right to claim to be the best, the
bravest, the strongest, the sweetest life
of that time. The trouble was not in
the men, but in the power they repre-
bChLNdg blO BONNa W ANpbAANb OEROA
and compel subservience.
The evil lay in the power of the few
and the helplessness of the many-the
ability Of the few to control and of the
need of the many to serve. 1t matters
nothing whether this power is attested
by the crest of noble or the seal of a
corporation, the effect is the same.
Whatever promotes mastery and en-
larges the domain of subserviency and
dependence, that imperils liberty. The
fact that he who wields this power is a
saint may make its exercise less irksome,
but the evil is enhanced rather than di-
minished thereby, because of the leth-
argy which results. Injustice is bad
enough, but submission to wrong inf
nitely worse.
All, but each one now has chance to
be the greatestl Such is the lottery Of
power which we call liberty! There is
no privileged class, we say. All are
freebooters on the high sea of prosperity
A short life and merry one for us!
Here's luck for the man at the top, and
a curse for the poor devil at the bottom!
Competition cures all illsi What if men
are crushed? What if one man does
Eold a thousand by the throat? Have
they not the same right to throttle
him if they are brave enough and strong
enoughH This is libertyl This is civili-
zation! This, we teach our children, is
the best God offers or Christ promises to
man! Is it true? We know it is false.
Nevertheless, this, we cay, is civilization.
1t differs from barbarism chiefly in the
fact that it uses daintier weapons and
its results are Unbeatable. In moral and
purpose it is the -same.-Tourgee,s New
Novel, "Murvale Eastman"

MARKETS.
SAN FRANCISCO, Cal. March 20
Wheat, buyer '9l, l49s.
CHICAGO, March 2O.-Wheat easy.
Cash $O.99l@Sl.OO.


The credit system, as at present
carried on in Oregon, says the Union
Scout, is the whole cause of what Is
now termed "hard times.u The
farmer, the merchant, the stock
raiser and grain dealer all do an
immense credit business. We say
it is the cause of hard times and
expect, by points which have come
under our observation, to prove
our assertion.
We ask, can any farmer or business
man pay from twenty to thirty per
cent. interest and then make a
success of such business You say
no, as all business men say. But
does farmer pay such interest as
above stated you will ask. Take
the following for an examples:
A farmer in this section a short
time ago wished to purchase a
wagon. Upon inquiring the price
he was informed that it was $l04 on
one years time, at ten per cent.
interest, $97 on thirty days or $S8
cash. AT that rate the purchaser
pays about twenty-six per cent. on
his Investment. If he borrows
money on his farm to pay the debts
he has contracted he pays eight per
cent. on his mortgage, four per cent.
to insure the property against fire If
there be buildings on the land, and
from three to FIVE per cent. TO
the loan agent. Is there any
wonder that he cries "hard times"
The reason that corporations are
on the increase is that they do a
strictly cash business. You would
not ask the railroad company to
trust you until your wheat is
threshed for passage from here
to Chicago, or to Portland. Then
why ask your neighbor or merchant
to wait on you.
Pay as you go, and if you cannot
pay, don't go, and in short time
you will find that cash is king and
that credit is the slave that has
bound you, not with golden link,
but with an iron band for these
many years. We say, break the
IRON oanG and deliver yourselves
from the bond of slavery.

MURDERED HER SISTER.
WORCESTER. Mass, Mar. 2O.-The
famous Lila Hoyle murder mystery
of September, 1880, is explained
through a confession made by Alice
Hoyle to her aunt, and by the latter
given to the public. The two girls
were in love with the same man.
This man, McQuade, seemed to
show preference for Lila, and this
made Alice mad. Alice said i'm her
confession that McQuade had told
her he would marry her if they
could get Lila, who was in a deli
cate condition, out of the way.
This was done by the girl, her uncle,
and another man, and the
body disposed Of After the deed
was committed Alice lived with her
uncle and aunt, who concealed the
crime. Some time after the girl
eloped with her uncle, and the aunt,
In revenge for that, made the crime
public. Z"

THE TRIAL OF oLDs.

IhE TRIAL VT Ol4lJDs
HILLsBoRo, March, 2O.--At the
opening Of the Olds trial this morn
ing the courtroom was crowded.
Charles Olds, as he appears IN,
,-..... ...,iS ,.vnnIssIh'' -
court, Is man past 40 years of age
is very cool, and In fact 30 well does
he act his part that while walking
upon the street in company with
the sheriff he was mistaken for the
latter, or rather the sheriff was taken
for Sandy.
Court was called at II a. m, and,
after reading of the journal, the
court instructed the jury that they
must obey all orders of the court and
the bailiff during the intermissions.
A recess was then ordered until ]
p. m,
The trial of the case was resumed
In the afternoon, and, upon motion,
all witnesses were excluded from the
room. The testimony and cross ex-
animation of John Bowles, as taken
at the last trial of the case, was read
and allowed, by consent of both
sides.
Mrs. Emil Weber, widow of the
deceased, testified that her maiden
name was Fannie Kieth, and she
had met the defendant on several
occasions, while in company with
her husband. On the whole, her
testimony brought out nothing new
or important.
III. Il. Gullixson was next sworn.
This witness reconized Olds as the
man who had fired the shot. While
Weber was lying on the street the
defendant stopped over him and
fred several more shots into his
body. He then put his pistol in his
pocket and walked away.
Blanche Martin, daughter Of Cap
tain Martin, of this city, testified
that she was witness to portion
Of the tragedy. She was quite posi-
tive that Olds fred three shots after
Weber had fallen.
DIR. Saylor testified that he made
an examination of Weber after the
shooting, In his opinion the shots
had been fired from behind and
three of them were fatal. Possibly
two shots might have been fired
from the side. The man was dead
when he was called TO attend him.

HILIsBoRO, Or, Mar. 20.-Sandy
Olds' case was resumed this morn,
ing. Several witnesses for the de.
fense testified. The testimony Is

1t is sad to think of how many of our
fellow beings are living ON the brink of
want. A few days sickness and they
are helpless. 1t is sad to think how
many are ignorant. 1t is not pleasant to
have to say that right here in Chicago
there are hundreds of honest, temperate
and industrious men who cannot find
work, when at the same time 5000 chill
dren are compelled to work in factories,
stores and other places when they ought
to be in school.
This city owes more than this to the
rising generation. Better ten thousand
times to die poor than grow rich by the
labor of these little hands.-Rev DR..

BANK CLOSED.
PHILADELPHIA, Pa, March co.
The Keystone national bank closed
its doors this morning by order of
the comptroller of currency. The
largest depositor is the city Of Phila-
delphia, which has about $400,900
deposited. The authorized capital
is $500, 900; a surplus of 100000 is
claimed.
No statement of the banks liabil-
tiles and assets is obtainable. 1t is
said the bark was closed by the
comptroller by reason of its reserve
fund having fallen below the
amount required by the national
banking law. The bank has de-
posits amounting to about 81, ,400,-
900 and it claimed it has assets SUI,
