Capitai and Labor,

NEW YORK, Sept. 18.-Rev. r. He
ber Newton testified before the senate
subcommittee on education and labor
that the condition of the laboring
classes is subject for expert study, and
at the present time there was not suf-
ficent information regarding it upon
which to base any intelligent legisla-
tion. The difficulties met with by the
labor reformers here is the intemper-
ate habits of the laboring classes and
the Improper methods to which labor
resorted in attempting to accomplish
it's desires. The great want of the
people he considered to be industrial
education. The instructions in public
schools was woefully deficient, and its
tendency was entirely one-sided 1t
has given 10 the youth of the country
a dislike for manual labor, which vas
a very dangerous tendency. Cooper
alton was spoken of by the witness as
the greatest aid to the elevation of
the working classes.
Lille Devereaux Blake advocated
the establishment of matronships in
all penal institutions and state re-
formatories for girls.
Mrs. d. G. Crolley, a newspaper
writer, who has given considerable
study to the condition of the laboring
women in this city, recommends a
system of compulsory education, not
only in common schools but in indus
trial schools. where women would be
taught to work. The homestead ex-
emption should be made more protec.
tive to the stability of the house
holder, and the possession of the
homestead should be made requisite
for obtaining citizenship.
Mrs. DR.. Clemence and S. Lozier adj
vocated the use of the ballot by wo
men as most practical means of i'm
proving their condition.

GERMAN BrCENTENNIAL.

In 1853 thirteen German families,
direct from the Fatherland, landed at
Philadelphia and settled in the woods,
at point afterwards known as Ger
mantown, now part of the city of
Philadelphia. In 1854 other families
arrived, and Germantown was laid
out. Families continued to arrive.
and soon jealousy sprung up
among the English settlers, under
Penn. Nevertheless, Germans con-
tinued to come, and their industry and
thriftiness began to give them a prom
inence not relished by the English
men. The colony governed itself
until 1907, when it became sub
ject to the provincial government.
And, yet, the Germans con-
tinued to come, laying the foun-
dation OF that prominent ele-
ment, distinguishing the social
condition of Pennsylvania to this day.
This settlement, of 1853, was really
the beginning of German colonization
in America, and move is properly
on foot to celebrate, soon, the two
hundredth anniversary of such settle
ment. 1t is certainly most proper
that the Germans should so celebrate,
and the reunion ought to embrace
representatives from all over the
United States. The German element
of our population has grown to huge
proportions, ranking third in repre-
senting foreign blood in the United
States, and now German immigration
takes the lead. The influence these
people are destined to exert in the
regulation of society, upon the Ian
guage and literature of this
country, cannot be foretold.
They change slowly, even reluctantly,
and the pertinacity with which they
hold to Germanic customs is, evil
denced in the fact, that in Penhsylva-
mia, to this day many, children of the
Oldest families grow up without
knowledge even of the English Ian
guage. They are noted for preserv-
ing their own tastes and idiosyncra-
cies, and, being of simple manners,
their ways are natural and whole
some. They are industrious and
thrifty, are a reading people, love
music and enjoy themselves with SIM
pie and temperate amusements. Their
skill as trained artisans is universally
recognized. They are successful mer-
chants and nnanciers. Less demon
strative than the French or Irish, less
active and nervous than the Ameri-
cans, they show v1gor and tenacity,
quiet force of character, cheerful
ness and sobriety, an intelli-
gence and thrift, which are of
incalculable value to people.
No element in our population could
with more pride celebrate the day
when the first human cargo FROM the
Fatherland set foot on American soil.
1t would be decidedly appropriate for
the German people in Texas to be
represented at this reunion. Texas
leads all the Southern states in Ger
man population, and in no small de-
gree is its present prosperity to be
attributed to the worth and intel
ligence of these people.

the county court to-day for the
custody of his five-year-old daughter,
whom he gave to the Rev. VIM.

that fanatical sect was holding forth
in this city. After her death the
child was given to Mr. Felsing, who
has become so attached to it that he
refused to give it up. The court
withheld its decision until tomorrow.

COLEMAN, SEPT. 16.-A shooting af-
fray occurred at Trickam, this county,
last night about $50 o'clock, between
saloon keeper named Abe Pendle-
ton and a cattle king by the name of
Tom Hayes. It seems that i'll feelings
have existed between the parties for
Some months, and last night Hayes
walked into Pendleton's saloon and
ordered the drinks fer him and Fen
Gleton. While in the act of drinking,he
drew his siX-shooter and commenced
firing at Pendleton, who, it appears,
was looking for foul play, and had a
pistol at; hand, with which he re
tnrned the fire, shooting Hayes in the
head the first shot, the second shot
taking effect in the right breast.
Hayes fired only one shot and
missed. AS soon as Hayes fell Pen
dleton left. and his not since bEeh
heard from. Hayes was not dead at
last reports, but his wounds are pro-
nounced mortal.

1T is probable that the next con-
gress will have a contested election
case to settle, that, as yet, has no ex-
istence. Congressman Pool, of North
Carolina, died couple of weeks ago.
He was a Republican. and was elected
by majority of about 600. Since his
election, however, the state has been
redistricted, and the Pool district is
now certainly Democratic. The Re
publicans propose to run candidate
in the old district. while the Demo
Gratis propose to elect congressman

KING CAUCUS.

And now many of the Eastern pa
pers, devoted to protection. and hav-
ing in view the near approach of the
time when the next speaker of the
house of representatives is to be
chosen, are contending that King
Caucus has shuffied off his mortal
coil and gone, not to better and
higher world, but below, where evil
politicians have quite usurped the
reins of government. All at once
these papers have discovered some
thing very bad in the existence of his
majesty, and hence they have con-
signed him to that existence
where all wicked people so.
Certainly these papers have come to
a most hasty conclusion. Not long
ago they were the most Jealous ad-
vocates of King Caucus. but now that
a protection Democrat is wanted as
speaker, and mis- election is regarded
as impossible, except through the aid
OF Republican votes, they cry out
against time honored party measure
-one, in fact, upon which rests the
best assurances of party success. To
abandon caucus now would give the
election of speaker of Democratic
house to Republicans, for it is con-
ceded that Mr.. Randall or any other
high tariff Democrat can not secure
a majority in Democratic eau
Gus. OF course the outcry
against caucases is cloaked under some
other reason than the one we give,
which is the real one. Caucuses have,
it is true, often shaped unwise results
for parties, but for this they should
not be condemned, for error, at times,
attaches to any and all human agen-
cies. Even the churches commit grave
blunders, and we know their objects
are pure. Governm ents, too, perpe-
trate the most serious blunders, when
the purpose of the peoples agents are
Intentionally correct. The caucus
bears the same relation to the party
as government does to the people.
Trust is confded by the party to the
caucus, and upon it's wisdom in coun-
Gil depends the approval of the party
masses. Errors are reproved and
proper acts approved, but the fact
that errors are committed does not
prove that the party government is
not necessary. 1t is, in fact, just as
necessary for the government of
the executive acts of party repre-
sentatiyes as the executive branch of
our state government is necessary for
the execution of laws. In popular
government like ours, political par
ties are necessary, and these can oper-
ate only through conventions, and
then the pledges of politics can only
be enforced by means of the eau
Gus. Parties that are sincere in de-
clarations, and honest in purposes,
must submit to caucus rule, or by the
disaffection of bare factions these
pledges are defeated, when the agents
of parties become untrue to their
promises, and when for personal ends,
they subserve even bitter political
foes. There is no power in combina-
tions not brought about by supreme
law, and in the management of party
machinery the caucus is the only ef-
fectual means by which such power
can be made effective. The Demo
cratic party represents principles and
purposes, conducive to the best results
in popular government, and they must
be enforced by the most powerful
agencies at command. Chance is not
to be tolerated. and King Caucus must
rule.

Smuggling.

New YORK, Sept. 18.-The three
ffrenien OF the steamer City of Ber-
lin; who were arrested on a charge
of Smuggling lace, have been dis
charged. The examination disclosed
the fact that the customs inspector
followed the four men from the
steamer to willow ware shop, on
Spring street, and there took from
each siz packages of lace, which
were subsequently appraised at the
custom officers testified that they also
found in the place thirty-six more
packages of lace. After appraise-
ment all the seized lace was thrown
into a large bag, none of it being
marked. Several of the packages
were produced upon the ex-
animation, but the custom officer
on examination we're unable to
identify a. single package. After, re-
viewing TIE evidence, Commissioner
Osborne said: at is evident that in
this case the customs officers at the
titf1e they detained the accused had
no intention CT srresting them; their
only object being to take the laces
f nd on their persons and let them
go, without even marking the goods
for Identification, or seeking to learn
from the accused whether they were
smdggiing for themselves or for some
one, else. Tbe arrest Of the
prisoners was an afteFthoRght. If
It is Che policy Of the government TO
let the culprits go, after taking the
smuggled property, then the sooner
the penal clause is repealed the better,
for it Is scandal on the 1aW-mdking
power that tie executive department
