river and its cutting away new chan.

THE recently established Bureau OF
Labor Statistics in Illinois is going to
work in earnest to collect information of
general interest both TO employers and
wage earners. No public document
issued in Massachusetts, is more widely
read and commented upon than that
which contains facts and figures on the
labor question. Both Missouri and
Illinois have lately established bureaus
for the compilation of suce statistics,
and their example is likely to be followed
by other states.

SCARLET fever is . scourge as much to
be dreaded in our northern cities as the
yellow fever is in the south. A leading
cause of the disease being spread is from
ladies visiting houses where there are
cases, or attending funerals of those
who have died from the malady. thus
impregnating their clothing and carry.
ing the germs to their own and other
families. This disease should be treated
in q manner similar to small pox as
regards quarantine regulations. 1t is
not less terrible in its fatality, and not
unfrequently leaves the convalescent
with deafness, blindness, or some other
serious affection.

THE movement IN temperance known
- Home Protection, which, in reality, is
woman's ballot on the dram.shops, is
gaining in favor in all parts of the coun-
try. Five of the annual conventions Of
the Wonen's Christian Temperance
Unions held In the sepafatssNew Eng.
land states this fall, have passed hon1e
protection resolutions indorsing that
line of work. At the late annual meet
ing of the National Women's Christian
Temperance Union in indianapolis .
resolution was passed to the effect that
"the erganisations there represented
should IN each state be free to choose
their own methods of work, !" thus remov.
ing all restrictions of that body from
such state women's unions as shall de
eide to ask for the temperance ballot.
Eleven state organisations already
indorse this movement; only three really
oppose 1t, and their ranks, it is said, art
BY no means solid.

The democratic members of the House and

this afternoon To receive and take action up
on the Joint report Of their committee CON
Ccrning the order of business for the extra
session Representative Clymer presided.
Rep, Chalmers. in behalf of the House eau
Gus committee, explained the character of the
report, and outlined the discussions which
had taken place during the joint session of
the committee. Mr.. Bavard briefly expressed
the opinion that the proper method of obtain
ing the repeal of the obnoxious laws aimed at
by the Joint committee, report il would be by
the passage of a separate measure, indepcnd-
ent of the appropriation bills.
senator Morgan. in II speech of considera-
bic length maintained the constitutional pro
pricty of attaching repeating clauses to the
general appropriation bills.
Mr.. Turner insisted that the federal elec-
ton law should be repealed totally.
Several members of the committee replied
briefly.
speaker Randall expressed the opinion that
the action recommended by the joint commit
tee both in its general scope and in its detail,
was such A. to commend itself not only TO
every member present. but to the country at

resolution binding every one present to Il

After the close of the debate which occu-

which failed of enactment last session should
