Is THERE NO REMEDY :?

To tho Editor Of The Chicago Tribune:
s1n: Last night, about midnight, residents On
West Washington street, between Leavitt and
Oakley, were reused BY the crying of child
passing to and fro. Ho was little Italian, 8
years old, carrying a huge harp on his shoulders.
Tho little fellow vas exhausted by travel, hum
ger, md want Of rost. Tho writor took him into
his house, gayo him midnight lunch, and fur
nishod him with place to sleep. Ho excused
himself from going to lis boss, +" because somo
rough and unfolding boys had broken hia harp,
and bocauHo he had collected only 30 conte, ,--his
"bosa" requiring 81 per day, Of, he would DO
"1icked." In tho morning, after breakfast, tho
writer took linn to tho Union Park police-sta-
ton, on Randolph etroot. with, tho hope that
something could be dono for such case thoro.
But the policeman in charge said Nothing
could be DONE" The little fellow Was very 1oti-
cent, evidently from tho fear OF being clicked"
for oommunicativenesB. Is there no remedy for
such hoartlessness and inhumanity +? Whore ia
