OveFwork In Mills,

Mr.. John Dobson, Of tho 6rm Of
John Dobson 81 Sons, Philadelphia,
one OF the leading firms In the country
for the manufacture OF textile fabrics,
IL one Of the intelligent employers
Of labor in this country who takes .
humane and intelligent view OF the
pernicious effects OF everlasting fe-
males engaged in factories Mr.. Dob
son In . recent Interview said that q
law should be passed prohibiting fe-
males employed in factories from
working overtime and exhausting
their systems. The evil results Of this,
he said, would spring mp and become
more apparent when we hnd shat We
have upon our hands race Of stunted
beings, who will mature OF an early
age, and who will become incspaci-
tated to perform the duties devolvinR
upon them. He further said that he
had sesn this IN Eag'And and in other
countries, where women were only
valued for the amount OF cheap labor
they could perform. Continuing, Mr.
Dobson says the sooner Americ aus
awaken to the necessity OF preserving
will be for al concerned. Ipstead of
the sturdy race, Of which we are all 30
proud, there will be nation Of dwarfs.
Such law, If passed, he said would
give employment to more persons and
the question Of pay would adjust
itself. The law In regard to children
working In factories should also be
more rigid.
Mr.. Dobson has struck q solid key
note Of argument which cannot bt
easily controverted. The habit Of
working women aud children, not to ga
anything Of men, an hour or two very
often more overtime, cannot fail to be
Injurious In . mental and physical
sense. Where there Is 30 much labor
waiting to be employed as there Is in
this country, there Is no need for the
prolongstion Of the legal stipulated
hours of labor, and indeed the question
which Is gathering force and volume In
this country is whether eight hour
labor are not sufficient for q day,
work.

Liberty for Ireland.

Ireland had an able defender in Hon.
A. M. Kelley 1t the Opera House last
night, and through his able and elo-
quent plea the lovers of liberty
breathed many. fervent prayers for the
success Of the Irish to secure the bene
fits of home government. The speaker
was thoroughly conversant with the
history Of Ireland from the time that
We have any account OF It until the
present. An interesting portion Of his
lecture related to the time when Ire
land was engaged in the manufacture
Of silks and fine linens. But those in.
dustries came In competition with
English interests, and the King OF
England peremptorily shut up these
manufactures, since which time Ire
land has been on the decline. Mr..
Kelley did not say 30, but he should
have said that 1t was British free-trade
that broke up Ireland and made her
people the vassals Of English greed
and avarice. Mr.. Kelley folio wed
step by step the suhjugstlon and
the consequent degradation OF Ire
land from the time Of Henry III
was gwen TO Ireland as an experiment.
But twenty years OF the Grsttan Par.
lament convinced England that
through 1t Ireland would be too for
imidable q competitor, and through
bribery and corruption the Parliament
fell. Since then the Irish have beer
forced gradually to self-destruction 81
that the population Of the Island Is no
not much more than half what 1t va
three quarters Of century ago. Blu
a better day is dawniDg for Ireland
There are now English defenders &
face the English defamers OF Ireland
amongst the first being Charles stuar
Parnell, who has led the Irish peopi
once more to the very gates Of the ctta
del Of liberty. Mr.. Kelley believes Il
Mr.. Parnell, and believes that throug
Mr.. Parnell Ireland will regain th
long lost liberty she enjoyed under th
