It is more than half century since
the Mexican war closed, and this may
seem to be rather late day to be
delimiting the boundary between the
two countries. The western half Of
the frontier is not natural boundary,
such as the Rio Grande supplies, and
1t was surveyed and marked by monu-
ments between 1S49 and 1856, but the
monuments were few In number and
not of permanent materials. The pres
emit international boundary commits
sion, appointed in 1891, resurveyed this
part of the boundary and marked it
with many monuments consisting Of
hollow iron posts filled with concrete.
Soon the work along the Rio Grande
viii be completed and there will be no
further cause for dispute as to the
frontier of the two. countries.

nearly all the principal cities of the
union the United States industrial
commission has completed report ON
general labor laws which, it is UNDER

be made uniform throughout the
states. A digest of national and state
labor legislation will be of great value
to the industrial and political interests
of the country, but when it comes to
specific recommendations in favor of
extending the labor laws OF certain
northern states, put upon the statute
books for political purposes, to all the
states of the union, the commission
will be skating upon thin ice.

suspected of trying to play to the gall
