The labor of children in cheaper than the la?>or of adults, urui tn onmc kinds of work in the mills children can do just a* much a* crown I** rsons. Another argument In fa vor of the employment of children 1m that* ns a rule, parents want employ ment for their children, be* au#o It en aiilw them t give th# ir families more omfort' . or. if th**y earn ngr© than is actually n*fd and f*r living otpensca, to put by wjmethmg fur litre of trouble and old ore.

The lynchmg of a n* gro in the heart of the greit Northern city of Chicago wa* prevented m Tuesday only by the armed power of tho police for* e. The policemen were compell*<d to use thdr clubs, anil It was only after & fierce struggle with the mob that the life of the negro brute was saved. On tho aama day tha Chicago Chron|c|*. on influential pawn paper and a reflector of Illinois public opinion said with reference to the Colorado lynching and burning: “It may be ms well or bet ter that the crimen should now and then be punish*d without law than that they should escape punishment through the errors nnd ill-advised vnerclea of the law. At any rate they ore thus punished. Pro test U bile.*' It ts remarkable that when ever a lynching occur* in the South the Northern t.p©r* have nothing but roo demnation of the whole Southern section to say of the matter; but when lynching* occur In the North they find excuses for th-m. Meanwhile the reputable newspa pers of the South continue to cry out •gainst the evil of lynch low. It wouki seem to be a pretty late day for Secretary Hoot, or anybody else, to visit Cuba as the representative of the President for the purpose of ascertaining if the Cutkans are * , o > m|Mient io govern ih©mM-lvm.
