The Eight Hour Law.

The eight-hour law, passed by the
last Congress, is likely to cost the
United States more than was expected.
The law is very far-reaching. and pro-
vides not only that all government en-
ployes shall work only eight hours, but
that those working for contractors who
are engaged on government work shall
do the same. 1t is here that the bill
makes itself felt, and that it has called
for great deal of interpre ;ation.
As we have noted, there was strike
here on this issue among the employees
of the United States Bureau Of Engin-
eers. The men employed on river inn
provement work called for the enforc-
ment of the law in regard to them
selves and insisted that their hours of
work should be reduced from ten to
eight, but at the same old wages.
There was a dispute over this, and
the matter was finally arranged by a
compromise, whereby the eight-hour
rule was recognized ard the pay reduc
ed, but not proportionately in other
works, the United States increased the
wages OF it's men employed here. The
same question arose elsewhere, and the
result was the same everywhere-th
increase in wages being greater at some
places than at others but. almost
without exception, there has been an
increase.
The operation of this law promises
to entail considerable additional ex-
pense on the government. Take the
Federal buildings, for instance. Those
under contract call for $25.000, 900 to
complete them under the old system.
The eight-hour law, however, will add
some S3,OOO,OO0 to the expense, and
Congress will have to make additional
appropriations to that amount or re-
duce in the quality of the work done.
1t is probable that the rivers and
harbors work will be similarly affected
by this curtailment. Congress does
not seem to have taken the fact into
consideration that it practically cut
down the appropriations for all public
works when it passed the eight-hour
bill, and that the money it voted would
not go nearly as far as before.
There was no seriouss objection to
| the bill. 1t was recognition OF the
fact that the workingman's day ought
to be eight hours +; and i'll England an
! effort is being made to secure similar
action from the government. But 1t
would have been better if, when the
law was passed. the government hae
taken into consideration the fact that
it would decrease the amount of work
done and add to the cost, and had ap-
propriated accordingly. The none.

CHRISTOPHER COLUMBUS.
Interesting New Documents Respecting
his Life and Character..

The discovery by the Superinten-
dent of the Military Archives at Mad
rid of documents probably setting at
rest the doubts that formerly existed as
to the birthplace of Columbus, must
have awakened new interest in the his
tory of the renowned discoverer of the
past 1t is to be noted, however, that
the documents only affirm tradition,
for Genoa has always been the Adml
rails accredited birthplace. But if the
discovery should lead to nothing but
more careful investigation of The rec
ords of his later history, it will have
been of use. The character of Column
bus has been greatly misunderstood,
and his 600 biographers have in turn
invested him with the glory OF the re-
llgious hero, and the contumely of the
ill-tempered and crack drained adven-
turer. An impartial critic must admit,
indeed, that he was something of both,
though more of the hero than the ad-
venturer, and that his biographers
have erred considerably in what Mr..
r. L. Stevenson would call their point
of view.
Educated, as it is supposed, in the
local schools of Genoa, and for a short
period at the University OF Payia, the
youthful Columbus must have come in
close contact with the scholars of the
day. Naturally of IL religious tenpera-
ment. the piety of the learned would
early impress him. aud to this may pos
sibly be attributed the feeling that he
had been divinely selected, which re-
manned with him until his death.
There is but little doubt that he be-
gan his career as Il sailor, at the age of
II, with the sole of plumber. The In
dies We're the constant attraction for
the natives of Venice and Genoa; the
Mediterranean and the Adriatic were
filled with treasure ships. In these
circumstances is not To be wondered
that the sea possessed Il wonderful fas-
ciuation fer the youths of those towns.
This oppulence was the constant envy
of Spain and Portugal. Columbus was
soon attracted to the latter country by
the desire of Prince Henry to discover
a southern route to the Indies. 1t was
while in Portugal that he began to be-
lieve that his mission on earth was to
be the discoverer of a new route to the
land of gold-'the white mans god
For ten years he resided in Lisbon,
from time to time making short voy-
