THE END OF WILSON'S DOMINATION.

S6TOO long have We submitted to executive en-
croachment We have witnessed the executive
appropriation of practically all our prerogatives so
that even the iantors and messengers executives no
longer have respect for the House Of Representatives
but instead appear have plying contempt for what
they regard as a harmless aggregation Of executive
moycoddles How long shall this condition continue?
Shall we assert ourself and again become the vrle,
powerful legislative force which we once we're or
shall we contue to drag out the miserable existence
Of a dwarhsh. ms-shapen legislative uut?'
This superheated language emanated from Wash

snap OF the Winter at the capital From a Republican

The employees of the railroads who
are now voting upon the question Of
demands for higher wages to be sub
mitted to the employers early in
March should be frank enough to ad-
NIT that their movement is solely for
higher wages and not for shorter
hours. The description Of the move
ment as an appeal for IAN eight-hour
day is largely deceptive. Even the
general public must be aware that ii
is almost impossible for any rail-
road manager TO arrange a days work
that can be done within the space Of
eight hours. The railroad men them
selves are aware OF this, and they
should put the issue plainly as a
movement TO obtain extra half pay,
in addition to the normal rate of
pay for all overtime.
If an engineer is paid at the rate
of 60 cents an hour, he would receive
80 cents an hour for all overtime be-
yond the eight-hour limit This, Il
is estimated. would add approximate
ly 500, 600 to the annual pay roll
of the railroads. More than 45 cents
out of every dollar paid by the pas
senger or shipper to the railroads al
