An lsthmian Canal Assured.

The severence of the American
isthmus seems assured, and with
the completion of an adequate and
easily navigable ship canal from
the Atlantic to the Pacific will
come changes aud expansions in
the commerce of the world which
can, MS yet, scarcely be conjectured.
Experience has amply proved that
increased facilities create new
traffic, greater as the gain in time
and safety in facility becomes
more considera BILE. In case
where the change is so great and
far reaching as that which will be
made by the completion of trans
isthmian route, data of existing
tonnage carried are of little value
as guide to an estimation of the
traffic or the financial profit of the
undertaking Some suggestions,
however, may be found by the
study of other works of similar
character, bearing always in mind
that ocean freight carrying is not
much benefited by small savings
in time of transit, especially when
Elected at the cost of more diff
cult navigation, while the gain
from large saving rises in rapid
ratio. E. l.. Corthell, in the En-
gineering Magazine for May.

SUSAN b. ANThONY's VIEWS.

In speaking of the Filipino
question, Susan B. Anthony says:
at is nonsense to talk abou: Civ
ing those guerillas in the Philip
pines their liberty. Those who
are croaking against the admins
trntion without Offering solution
TO the problem are making our
soldiers dissatisfied. 1t is little
less than treason
This looks very much as if the
venerable Susan has been giving
considera thought to the sub
ject, Notwithstanding the fact that
she differs Numerically from our
Congressman Bell. He says:
"AguinRldo is man of lofty as
pifations, a patriot, and states
man" The soldiers who are fight
lug the young rebel are inclined
to endorse Susan BIS opinion. He
may be n statesman, but he isu't
of the American type, He may
be patriot, but his patriotism
isn't of the. sort for which the
fathers of the American revolu-
ton we're noted Ii may even be
allowed that he is II mau of lofty

Susan b. Anthony is generally
considered as being on the wrong
track on several eubjects, but she
is headed in the right direction

IF RAILROADS or telegraph lines
are to be valued for assessment,
purposes according to their rev.
enue producing capacity. says the
Greeley Tribune, then a farm or
any other piece of property must
be assessed upon the same basis
And if sticklers for constitutional
construction or full cash yalues',
are going to prevail with their
ideas in the valuation of farm
property or city real estate. then
that Is going to be the rule with
all corporate property. aud the

THE EIHH,r-hoUR LAW.

ne new law passed by tue leg
'slature making eight hours
days work for men employed il.
the underground work of III,
mines aud IN the smelters will yo
into effect the middle of mex,
month. The law in itself is simulc
enough. 1t means eight hours of
employment in the mines and the
asmelters. For the latter this
means three shifts, as the work
goes on uninterruptedly. Ii means
that no man shall be required to
work longer than the time spec;-
hed in the law.
IL does not say anything abou,
pay; that is subject left for
mutual agreement between em-
ployer and employe. 1t does not
prohibit a man from WORKING
overtime, for that would be uu-
constitutional, nor does it prohibit
him from doing SO in case of
actual necessity where threatened
danger must be met by uninter- |
rupled work. On small properties
where but few men are at work
'he law cuts no figure. On such
properties the owners themselves
participate in the work and thev
Will have no trouble in coming To
an understanding with their men
as to the length OF time for davis
work.
The law is aimed at companies ,
that employ hundreds and tbous
ands OF men, at the coal aud the
smelter trusts. The smelters have
BEEN working their men in two i
shifts of twelve hours each !
