A GREAT DIFFERENCE.

So much has been made of the
fact that eight-hour Jaws are in
force in Australia and New Zealand
that it is well to recall the fact .that
they are not.compulgory, as is the
law in this province. A man may
under those laws.contract to work
overtime, or as many hours over
eight as he pleases.. The great ob-
jection to the law now, in force is
that it. deprives both miners. and
mine.owners of the freedom of con-

. tract which is one of the inherent

rights of a British subject... It takes
a full-grown. man,.in. possession of
all his faculties,.and treats him as a
child: who is not.competent.to.think
and act for himself. The eight-"
hour laws of Australia. and New

land have not affe d this right

position. The ‘one idea’seems ‘to be,

With: such a precarious hold on
office, the government .was ineffec-
tive at anything but drawing salary,
and drifted :about:.hopelessly like;a

P rin the ri of
making an offer ‘which it was not
ready’ to carry ‘through: © Having
promised, thiough -Minister Hume,
to amend the blundering eight-hour
law and fearing to carry out the

.| promise, it strove to suppress. it,

only to have the shallow’ trick ex-
posed. Dr. McKechnie, one of its
supporters, having forfeited his seat
and rendered himself liable to heavy
penalties for sitting’ and’ voting, it
dared not admit the obvious fact
lest ‘its ‘majority: of one ‘should
thereby be lost. Finally, finding
itself unable-to-carry on the farce
any longer, this government ~ of in-
capables introduced a bill for the
redistribution of seats, . knowing
that it could not become law but
hoping'to use it as an election cry
with-which to go hefore' a disgusted
people.,
If Mr. Semlin has; asked the Jieu-
tenat governor to dissolve the legis-
lature, it is to;be. hoped that he will
get his wish. .: It:is hopeless to ex-
pect any competent government. “to
be.formed among the .collection of
cliques; composing. the present leg-
islature. The-whole matter should
be.relégated to.the people, who may

and it has-been left for. British Go- |®

lumbia, while its mining. industry .is
yet,: comparatively speaking,. in its

infancy, to check its progress. .by |

such a revolutionary measure. .

The Victoria Colonist makes some
timely, comment -on the timidity
with which public men have ap-
proached: this and other labor trou-
bles, saying:

“We believe-the weetieral disposi-
tion has been to treat this. eight-
hour question too. gingerly. ..; The
workingmen. of British Columbia
:are not children to.be befooled with
sugar-coated. phrases. ‘We. repeat

. wWhat.we have said on two., occa-

sions, namely, that the workingmen
are.quite as well able to. form epin-
ions on: public questions. and are as
amenable to reason as any one else.
Labor questions, so-called,’ are the
product, very largely, of timidity, of
a fed: on the part of public men to
grapple with them fearlessly. ‘and
vigorously, trusting to the redson-
ableness of their views and:the.good
sense of the people at large. ‘It is
in this manner that the. eight-hour

should be app hed, and
when it is taken hold of in this way,
the difficulties, which now alarm so
many people, will vine as mist
before the sun.”

BY A MAJORITY-OF ONE.

The government which has ex-

. isted by virtue of a majority of one

has at last come within sjght of its
deserved end, having been defeated
by a majority of one. Now its

o r by. cliques which has
accomplished nothing but to.render
ability impotent for the public. good
and to bring. to the front a swarm
