One reason why there was SO much diff
that the great bulk OF the able bodied
men OF the country Is busisy engaged. and
the men are unwilling to leave work they
have found after long idleness in order to
enter upon an occupation which may only
might then be thrown back upon their
own resources with their places filled. The
war with Spain is not such war as that
OF the rebellion. when the integrity Of the
nation seemed to be at stake. Loyal as
the people are they have come to regard
the war as matter OF comparatively
small consequence, because they believe it
WI soon be over without their aid

Public opinion should sustain the West
ern Central Labor Union In its efforts to
secure the enforcement OF the Federal
statute prohibiting labor of men employed
on government work for more than eight
hours in any one day. IF the Federal
officers viii not obey the Laws, who wilI?"
is a very pertinent question. 1t is no use
to preach the doctrine that the law should
be obeyed II it Is dsregarded by those
whose duty 1t Is TO enforce the law. Emer-
gencies viii arise when all work cannot
be done between certain specified hours,
but when men are required 10 work beyond
the eight hours they should be paid extra.
The law makes an exception in favor OF
extraordinary emergencies. but this should
not be taken advantage OF TO evade the
manifest intention Of the law. An emer-
gency exists Just now with reference 10
Notifications and the army post: but there
Is reason In the argument OF the officers
Of the Labor Union that two shifts OF men
can be employed at this time OF year from
5 in the morning until $50 or Q at night.
workingmen are admonished 20 obey the
law, and they viii do II the more readily
when they feel satisfied that II IS impartial
" administered.

This Is "A very good time for Canada and
the United States 10 settle their long
standing differences. The people are in
complaisant mood and the plenipotent!aries
will be free 10 arrive at a settlement upon
a Just basis without being harrassed by
na:lcna! prej1dIces or selfish interests. No
principle IS Involved except reciprocity
upon mutually beneficial terms. Each side
may have to make some concessions, but
that Is inevitable IN the settlement OF a
dispute brought about chiefly by a cor
dict OF vested rights. The people OF bota
countries along thu line CT boundary have

II may not be worth the trouble, but if
the government was not so much en-
crossed with more important matters. 1.
might be good thing to ferret out the
originator of the absurd story upon which
some interruptions newspapers were en-
abled to foiss upon the public a special
edition. which was nothing short Of a
means to obtain money by false pretenses
Although the rumor was spread and was
80 buiietined In the Post-Inteiligencer
windows. it was 30 manifest.y improbable
that no newspaper, taking the trouble to
investigate, could be deceived. An inquiry
addressed to the authorities resulted I'm a
reply that the rumor was discredited. and
that should have been protection to the
public against selling 1t as bona flde news
