TO SETTLE LABOR DISPUTES.
Federal Body Should Fix Railway
 Rates and Wages.

Baton Rouge. La.-Commenting on the prospective railroad strike for higher wages. the Times says:
 Congress should pass an act at once giving the interstate commerce com mission authority to settle the labor disputes. just as it has the right to~tix rates.
 It is more important that the inter- state commerce commission have the right to fix wages and settle disputes than it is that it have the right to de- termine freight rates and prohibit re- bates.
 Business can hobble along under high freight rates. Death would fol- low a general railroad strike.
 Both the railroads and the railroad men may be able to withstand strike. but the public cannot. The public Is not in a position to face general strike of the railroads In the country.
 The calamity is too awful to con- template.
 It would be more frightful than

VASTNESS OF GRAND CANYON.

Few persons can realize on a first view of the Grand Canyon that it is more than a mile deep and from s to 10 miles wide. The cliffs descending to its depths form a succession of huge steps, each 300 to 800 feet high, with steep rocky slopes between. The cliffs are the edges of hard beds of limestone or sandstone; the interven- ing slopes mark the outcrops of softer beds. This series of beds is more than $500 feet thick, and the beds lie nearly horizontal. Far down in the canyon is a broad shelf caused by the hard sandstone at the base of this series, deeply trenched by a narrow inner canyon cut thousand feet or more into the underlying granite" :" The rocks vary in color from white and buff to red and pale green. They present marvellous variety of pie turesque forms, mostly on titanic scale, fashioned mainly by erosion by running water, the agent which has excavated the canyon.-U. S. Geolog- ical Survey.

There was absolutely no warmth save in the Vermont and Oregon delegations in the cheering which followed the le- cisve third ballot. The deles-tes from these two states were the only ones, however, who seemed to be genuinely enthusiastic over the nomination, Hughes was accepted simply as the hest possible Solution of the situation but to the delegates as a body as well as the gal lery il was nothing more than an un- inspiring compromise with facts. The easy winner of the contest was an enigma and inspired no enthusiasm. They did not know him then but today they know him and approve him cordially.
