An Open River.

The following item from the Oregonian
seems to he full of conclusions not justi-
fed by the facts stated. The Dalles rail
road is not Portland enterprise. The
%. r. & N. railroad goes into Portland,
but the river, unfortunately, has never
been made to run uphill to Portland.
The river does not favor one port or one
market above another, therefor il is not
popular. The river would afford opposi-
ton TO the o. r. & N, and perhaps direct
some trade to other points that is now
tied to that city by the o. R. & n. mon
opoly. Hence this dissertation:
Capt. w. W. Harris, United States en-
gineers. on behalf of the United States
government paid into the registry of the
United States court the sum of $1,000 to
the credit of Seufert Bros. this being the
amount awarded them by the jury as
damages for the condemnation of right
of way for the Cello boat railway across
their property. II is not known whether
Seufert Bros. will accept this sum fos
their property or not, for at the conclusion
Of the trial they gave notice of intention
to appeal. 1t is however, quite probable
that they will take the money, as it is
beginning to be quite generally believed
that the proposed boat railway will never
be built, in which case Seufert Bros, il
they make sure Of this money, will have
1t and the land also, as the government
can never remove the right Of way. Had
there been no trouble over securing the
right Of way, by which about two years
have been wasted, the boat railway might
have been started--and once started it
would probably have been completed.
Now. from the best information to be
obtained on the subject. there is but little
likelihood that the boat railway will ever
be built. II was never scheme of the
United States engineers for overcoming
the obstruction Of the dalles of the Co
lumbia. 1t was the project of few civil
engineers, which was taken up by con-
gress. but which has always been con-
sidered by many as impracticable.

Tie I,IgI,t Hour Nonsennc.

The Federation Of labor at its SEES.
sion in Kansas Cry. determined that
in 1900 a united stand should be
taken for an eight II mr. day law for
all laborers. In order to attain this
end, the federation wants the aid OF
all laborIng people. just what they
mean BY "laboring people they per
haps could not themselves explain,
But let us examine this proposition
for q moment. In their effort they
are anxious 10 secure the co-Opera.
tlOn of the farmers of the west, who
are certainly laboring men, Is there
a farmer in Kansas, or in the western
country who can succeed il he works
but eight hours n day? Certainly
not. And how will II be if the plan
succeeds, and The hired man ON the
farm begins work at eight o'clock In
the morning and knocks off at five in
the evening, with an hour Oft at noon?
If the eight hour law is 10 prevail,
1T will be unlawful discrimination to
make 1t apply to the hired man who
works for the merchant or machnist
and make the man who works for the
farmer an exception. The journal
heard a labor reform" farmer make
a speech last summer in which he
demonstrated clearly that no employe
should be compelled to work more
than eight hours a day, That man
himself works from twelve 10 fifteen
hours every day of his life, and his
hired men work as many, sometimes
more. The proposition is silly as il
is UNJUST. A man should be paid for
the work he does. If he works an
hour u day, il he is in the employ OF
others, he ought to be paid for that
hour. If The works ON o stress for
twenty hours, he should be paid for
twenty hours. No man ON earth ever
made "a success of life who watched
the clock bo see when his hour struck
No man ever made success who
quit work, no MATTER whether that
work was physical or mental, who
stopped short off when he had labor.
ed ehght hours of the twenty -four. No
eight hour law, no fifteen hour law,
no two hour law, will ever reach the
root of this matter. No law of any
kind enacted by legislature can
touch DIT. There are things i'm this
world THAT Legislative enactments
may mot change nor statutes alter.

BANK OF ENGLAND
Source of Profit in the
Steady Loss of Notes.
When the Institution Will Make
Cood-IndemnI:y-A Piece OF
Paper Astray.
tLondon News.b

IL is fact. that 10 many minds. NO
doubt, must be very curious. that the
Bank of England has always had a
pretty steady source OF profit in the
loss and destruction OF It's bank notes.
What il has gained OF late years in this
period OF forty years preceding 1892 the
bank had made a clear profit OF
Il. $3.50. 600 from outstanding paper
never likely 10 be presented for pay
recoverable loss OF 4 note can he
proved, as in the event OF a fire or a
wreck IL can. the Bank. OF course. will
always pay the money IL represents:
and even when there is doubt about IL
the cash is paid on security being Civ
en- for indemnifying the Bank should
the note ever be presented. The GEO.
600 worth OF paper-Or 10000. - 10
appears to- have been reduced tO-tak-
en- from PARIS Bank will therefore not
represent loss unless the crisp little
billets have some day 10 be duly hon
ored ut the Bank OF England counter.
In that case the cash paid In exchange
for them will have to- come out OF the
Golfers of the plundered bank.
Many years ago a bank director lost
a note for 10000. But. being a man
of credit, and as there was no doubt
about the loss OF the bill. he gave the
usual indemnity and got the money
Many years after. when the man had
long been dead, the paper was pre-
scented. IL was payable on demand.
and had come from abroad in the ord
mary way OF business. and the sum Il
represented had to- be handed over.
and as<the indemnity that had been
given was repudiated by the heirs of
the man who had given II. and for
some reason could not be enforced. the
bank on that occasion had to- put = 80
600 on the debit side OF the account.
For once in a way they paid double
honor to a bit of their own paper.
There is another story OF a sum of
100000 which the Bank in its early
days for a short time refused to hand
over in exchange for its own notes.
They were presented by jew. whose
assertion that he lad bought them was
not disputed and whose personal integ-
rity was above suspicion. They had.
however. undoubtedly been stolen. and
on that ground the bank refused to- pay
the money. The Jew went out into the
city and began to spread It abroad that
the bank was shaky and couldn't cash
his notes, and as he backed his asser-
ton by displaying his indisputablc
paper the assertion would in all prob
ability soon have caused a run on the
bank. In a few minutes n messenger
came to say that the notes would he
cashed If he would present them again.
