No Difference in Days.

"a curious thing about the Sand.
witch Islands, regarding which people
are talking so much now, remarked a
prominent resident of Boston yester-
day to a J0ayHal reporter, is that
practically on those islands begins the
difference in days"
How is that?" inquired the Jonrad!

why, you see. when it is Monday
here it is Monday also on the Sand
witch Islands, their reckoning agreeing
with hours, while on the next point q
land 20 be reached, that is, the Allan
tic coast, at the same instant il IS
Tuesday. Of course the difference III
day comes from the movement OF the
earth and its position in relation T"
the sun"
But why should the SandweA
Islands have the same time thu; we
do?"
Undoubtedly because they were
discovered by men who sailed from
America and therefore carried there

Century: Shall American boys
be permitted to learn trades, and,
having learned them, shall they be
permitted to work at them2 These
are apparently simple questions, and
the answering of them is an appar-
emily simple matter. Most persons
thus Intercepted would reply at
once: "Certainly they should. Why
do you ask such unnecessary ques.
tions?" We ask them because
ander the present conditions Of trade
instruction and employment IN this
country the American boy has nc
rights which organized labor Is
bound to respect. He is denied in.
struction as an apprentice, and if he
be taught his trade in trade
school, he is refused admission Ia
nearly all the trade unions and is
boycotted if he attempts to work as
nou-union man. The questions OF
his character and skill enter into
the matter only to discriminate
against him. All the trade unions
Of the country are controlled by
foreigners, who comprise the great
ma jorlty Of their members. While
they refuse admission to the trained
American boy, they admit all for
eign applicants with little or no re-
gard to their training or skill. Labor
in free America is tree to all save
the sons of Americans. These are
neither idle nor exaggerated state
ments. They are sober solemn
truths, expressed with studied
moderation. So.caIled American
labor to-day is complete mis-
homer.

CLEARING HOUSE CERTIFICATES
The Attorney General Decides That
They Are EXEMPT From the Tax.

Washington, Nov. 2s-Attorney Gen.
eral Olney has rendered an. opinion that
certain notes, issued by corporations dur

taxable 10 per cent. under the bank circu-

dressed to Secretary Carlisle, quotes the
bank tax provision of the internal reve.

to the meaning of the statute imposing
this tax, the doubt must be resolved in
favor of exemption.
The opinion was given upon a clearing

sued to the First National Bank of that
city, and the text of which is embodied in
the opinion. The Attorney General saws
The paper is not signed by the First
National Bank anywhere. 1t is plainly
not an instrument upon which
either that bank or the Clear

sued in an action at common law, and
