tional Hotel and we went at once
to the Capitol. The members
were collecting in the House for
q caucus, as to who should be the
leader on the Democratic side.
Mr.. Richardson of Ter nessee WAS
elected.
You may remember that | jok-
ingly said to some Of my friends,
before leaving for Washington,
that there was possibility Of my
beng taken or mistaken for tho

South Carolina always sends big
men to Congress. | find that the
men are either Colonels or Judges.
Mr.. Norton of South Carolina
said that he was the only private
here, but afterwards | heard him
accosted as Colonel. Mr.. Finley
is Judge.

generally are a handsome set of
men, and | would not dare say
that they were not Intellectually
StrOng-because Of their size.
You can not imagine the variety
Of style Of dress-black coats,
brown coats, gre; coats, blue
coats and "coats of many colors. "
1t does seem that there should be
some uniformity in the matter. 1t
is to be remarked with regret that
some Of the members Of Congress
are very prOfanc, and among their
accomplishments, they add to that
OF "cussing," 'chewing" tobac-
co, too.
4 gentleman said in my hear
ing Saturday evening that Wash
IDgton was bad place door
to hades, that this city could not
escape the doom of Sodom, if d
similar edict should he issued as
to it's destiny.
You can get a shave here for
five cents and haircut for ten

the irreprcssible boot>black gets

if the additional nickel was to

SignaIIy Refuted.

In the April number of the For
um the American editor of the
San Francisco "Chronicle" puts
forward the most pessimistic views
as to England's commercial future.
He holds that the superiority of
manufacture arises from three
causes: |, the enormous home mar
ket. 100000 consumers against
the British 40,OO0,OO0: 2, the vast
scale upon which America man
ufactures; 3, the cheapnessa and sup
erior quality of raw material in
America.
The larger the factories, he says,
the cheaper the things produced.
Bessemer pig iron can be made for
BIS. Cd. ton at Pittsburgh, U. S. A.
against 49s. Cd. in the British Cleve-
land district. In the near future
he expects to see colossal develop
ment of the American shipbuilding
industry, which will enable the
United States to produce ships
relatively as cheaply as it now pro-
duces iron and coal.
He disputes the Cobdenite theory
that England is distined to become
the workshop of the world, and
points out that it was based upon
the idea that all artificial attemps
to create an industry by protection
must prove Improbable. There
is no point upon which the average
follower of the Manchester school
was more positive than this, and
nothing has been more signally
refuted."
He does not think that the de-
feat of England is due to the infer
iority of her artisans or to the
want of superior technical educa-
ton, but holds that decay of English
manufactures is inevitable. Darby

THE EIGHT HOUR LAW.

The merits of the eight hour
law are being so generally dis
cussed, and so many are not ac-
quainted with the full tenor of the
measure, that we publish below
the full text of the bill which
passed the last session of the gen
eral assembly. 1t is quite gen
orally thought that there is
nothing in the measure that can
be construed to prevent an indi-
vidual from working longer than
the prescribed eight hours if he so
elects. The act is as follows:
BE it enacted by the general
assembly of the state of Colorado:
"Section /. The period of EN-
ployment of workingmen in all
underground mines or workings
shall be eight hours per day, ex-
cept in cases of emergency where
life or property is in imminent
danger.
"Sec. 2. The period of employ
ment of workingmen in smelters
and in all other institutions for
the reduction and refining of ores
or metals, shall be eight hours per
day, except in cases of emer-
gency where life or property is in
imminent danger,
Sec. 3. Any person, body cor
porate, agent, manager or en-
ployer, who shall violate any of
the provisions of section | or 2 of
this act shall be deemed guilty of
misdemeanor, and upon conviction
shall be punished by fine of not
less than $50 or more than $500,
or by Imprisonment not more than
six months or by both fine and
Imprisonment"
The Florence daily tribune., 1899-06-16

daily secret sessions of the state
board are bearing fruit, but the
board considers itself handicapped.
1t has been practically decided
by the board to equalize all the
valuations of the state this fall, to
go into every county so to do.
But the law provides that not
more than a 5 per cent aggregate
of increase can be made, and, al
though Arapahoe valuations will
go up. valuations in some of the
other counties must necessarily
come down to balance the aggre-
gate.
The state board realizes that its
efforts to make the aggregate val
uations larger will be handicapped
by the reduction of $4,000, 600
announced to take place in Arap-
ahoe county.
Railroad valuations will go up.
They are being forced up on a
rising scale and it looks like an
increase of about S10,000,O0O on
railroad valuations in the state.
So far as the totals are concerned
in making a comparison with last
year, the increased railroad valua-
tions will balance the Arapahoe
reduction and the S3,000,0OO in
crease in the total state valuations,
it is calculated, will come from
voluntary increases in valuations
of other counties and an equaliza-
ton process in September by the
state board. Denver Republican.

THE PASSING OF BLAND.

The death of Congressman Rich
ard p. Bland marks the end of an
other life we'll lived, the passing of
true man. Mr.. Bland was man
whose integrity was never ques-
toned and whose acts were ever
above suspicion. In politics he
was aspower, yet he was never ac-
cused of political corruption, and
none respected him more. than his
strongest opponents. When he
took a stand on any political issue
it was because he conscientiously
endorsed the principles advocated
rather than bee iuse it was a dog
ma of his party.
Mr.. Bland's name will be re-
corded in history as that of an en-
inently successful lawyer, states
man of more than ordinary acu-
men and true man. 1t will be
said of him that he did not live in
vain.
