THE EIGHT HOUR BILL.

The Inter Mountain learns that its
suggestions relating to the eight hcor
law now under consideration at Helena
have been read with interest and ar
leinv carefully considered by the lay
Il akers there assembled.
Some time ago this newspaper sounded
a note of warning to those most deeply
interested in the passage of an eight
hour law. We believed then, and We stlll
ties who have done the loudest shouting
tnr an eight hour day We're the least sin
sne a measure go through which would
rOt stand the test of constitutionality
Till bin which passed the house the other
day will stand this test. And here again
the fusionists to the fact that they, and
they alone will have to bear the odium
defective.
The present bill should be amended in
tho senate SO as to make its purpose
lfar and, if possible, to take it out of
thn category Of class legislation. lis
provisions relating to mills and shelters
should be modified to meet actual condi-
tipns. All those employed in such works
whose occupa ton is such as To endancer
iii, and health and limb beyond the ordi-
nary risk attached to labor in general.
Should be accorded the benefits of the

This journal wants to see an eight
hour law passed that is reasonable and
that will stand after it has passed. 1t
desires to see all those who are working
underground especially. and such others

rnhealthful work, given every advantage
hich circumstances will permit. For

ADMIRAL CERVERA.,

Admiral Ceryera, sick unto death has
more sympathizers in America than in
lis native land. Americans remember
how the old sea fighter personally
Helped to pull Hobson into his launch
s4.ter the sinking Of the Merrimac: they
member, too, that he notified Admiral
Sampson of the safety of Hdbson and
his little band; they remember that in
response to orders from Havana he
made that fatal dash from Santiago
harhor, believing that he was going to
certain death, giving the world a new
example of exalted courage and abso-
lutte devotion to duty, they remember
the sentleness and splendid dignity OF
the gallant Spaniard when he was Il
captive, and his constant solicitule for
his men. But all these things are for
gotten in decadent and desane1at e
Spain, if, indeed, they were ever re-
membered there. 1t is all perfectly
natural, and the difference in seuti-
nent reflects the difference between the
national character Of the two countries

The Question of Civilization.

States. Passing over the question OF
status of citizens of the United States
numbering United States officers, we
consider the absurdity of trying to make
a general theoretical rule in such a
case. An illustration of this is furnished
by a special dispatch to the New York
evening Post of Tuesday. giving the
views of William II. Abbott. formerly
of Peoria. Ill. a lawyer who has for
some years been practicing in Porto
Rico. He has been urging the insular
affairs committee of the house to EN-
large the jurisdiction OF the United
States district court in the island, on
the ground that the native courts are
utterly incapable of administering JUS
tice. He says the Porto Ricans have
no idea of judicial procedure. but quite
frankly and sincerely bride judges and
fix Witnesses He declares that they
are incapable of self government ac-
cording to the standard necessary for
our forms of administration, and that
the Porto Ricans themselves admit that
they cannot control a government on
American lines. What folly, then, is it
to insist that they shall not have a gov
eminent suited to them and giving them
such home rule as they can wisely eN-
ercise. but that they must blunder alonS
with the machinery of the American
constitutional system! A people with
such ideas of courts would be cursed
not blessed by our laws. Are we such
slaves to phrases and humoug that we
must impose on them the empty appear
ance of beneticent government without
the reality thereof?
Ii this is the condition of Porto REQ
the problem in the Philippines must be
much more complicated. Plainly the
| point in the scale of civilization at which
even, according to General Harrison s
theory. the constitution becomes a right
of these strange peoples is not to be
fixed arbitrarily. Ii is a matter for the
exercise of discretion by the political
authorities who have always hitherto
| determined when any body of persons
were to be admitted into the fellow ship
of the American people, sharing their
constitution. Congress has prescribed
the rule. by which an Indian, no matter
| how far advanced. might become citi-
zen. and it is not for congress TO say

For a long time the ladies have been

The absurdty of the notion that there
is some magic in the constitution of the
United States making it tit rule of
government for all people brought under
our control regardless of their rondi-
ton. is plain enough when an Indian
or an EsQuimau Is under consideration
We have never governed the Indians ac-
cording to the special provisions of the
constitution. We have given them no
jury trials we have not extended to
them the writ of habeas corpus. we1 have
not taxed them uniformly. The reason
was that their condition was so differ
ent from that of the citizens that the
constitution of the citizens WoulCas ha ~
been quite out of place among ,themy
The courts saw this, and always upheld
the right of the political authorities to
face the practical situation with perfect
freedom. That is the reasonable. sensl-
bile rule to be applied to every exercise
of sovereignty which may be forced upon
the government With reference to people
not qualified by previous training to
prosper under our system of laws.
Even eX-President Harrison practically
admits this. for he pleads only for the
extension of the constitution SO far as
applicable to the civilized inhabitants
OF the former Spanish islands.
But who is to draw the line between
the inhabitants, civilized and uncivlized.
in the sense of being fitted for jury
trials and the rest of our constitutional
machinery of government? Is man
civilized in that sense the minute he
ceases to utter war-WhOopS and to wear
breeoh- clouts? obviously not. We have
never treated our civilized, church, going,
school, attending. farming Indians as cit
liens except when one by one they have
been absorbed into the citizen commu-
nity. Separate tribal organiZat ton was
made the canon of distinction as a mat

competent to mark off areas for extra
constitutional government for one rea-
son of eXpediency, they are competent

\ NEW FIELD.

With the development of the electrical
industries the Importance Of the cleo
trical engineer Increases. and keen men
consider that this field affords those
adapted to it greater opportunities for
