NEW JERSEY laws prohibiting the EN-
ployment of children of tender years ir
factories appear to be little regarded by
soulless manufacturing corporations. 1t
is shown by the report of the state factory
inspector that in eight thousand manu-
featuring establishments nearly fifteen
thousand children are employed and that
they are growing up in ignorance of
everything but the toll to which they are
enslaved Not only are they deprived of
education. but their health is undermined
in the bad sanitary condition of the
crowded factories. They are thus becom-
ing candidates for hospitals, asylums and
jails, to be cared for by the public when
the factories have worked the young life
out of them.

SOME good things come out of Utah,
the gold and silver yield of the territory
during 1885 foots up $7,6ll, $40. Nothing
stands in the way of the future prosperity
of the territory and its admission as one
of the states of the Union but the singular
neglect of the successors of Brigham
Young to add a homogeneous chapter to
the Mormon book of revelations.

WE WOULD respectfully suggest to the
city authorities that Brazos street, along
and beyond the capitol grounds, is as
much of a thoroughfare as any street in
Austin with the exception of Congress
avenue and Pecan street., and that
through and after passing through the
capital grounds for several squares be-
You'd, there are no lamps, and of dark
night travel to pedestrians is very disa-
greeable. light at the east gate of the
capitol grounds and one respect
lively on the corner of Peach and
Brazos, and Walnut and Brazos,
would greatly accommodate large travel.
And while in the way of improvement,
sidewalks should be made along Brazos
street, next to the capital grounds. This
is thickly populated part of the city and
the citizens beyond the capitol grounds
deserve some consideration. 1t ought
not to be necessary for the citizens of a
particular locality in the city of Austin to
make formal petition to the city council
for such obviously necessary improve
ments.

COLLINS, murderer of Rowland, at Fort
Worth, instead of life sentence, as was
given him yesterday should have graced
the gallows. The murder was one of the
most deliberate assassination and if any
crime deserves death, that of Collins did.
Besides, the only way to prevent such
crimes is summary punishment punish
ment without hope of escape.

dropped HIM by passing stranger, for
some slight service or in clarity, as if he
was in the boundless expanse of
primeval forests with not a hu-
man voice to gladden. his ear
or human form to animate his eye. He
is literally ostracised and forced to seek
association with the wild beasts of crime
who feed upon the weaknesses and de-
fencelessness of society as the wild beasts
of the forests feed upon their weaker
mates.
He is a born vagabond, and in his very
lisping infancy acquires all the arts that
belong to the man who, Ishmael-like, has
his hand against every man and every mans
hand against him. He knows no rever-
ence for God or man and his only invoca-

hearts are full of bitterness and perverted
ideas of society and humanity. 1t is a
rare thing they hear kind word and a
frequent thing that they receive kicks
and cuffs from their seniors and teach
ers in crime. 1t is pitiful, it
is heartaching to think of them,
not knowing the sweet words of mother,
home; not experiencing the gentle en-
brace of sister, brother; without the adj
vice of father; untaught even of a
heavenly Father, it is no wonder that they
naturally gravitate to the lowest dens of
infamy and vice, and become in time
hardened and callous brutes.
Whose fault is this? Who is response
BILE to society for this? Aye, who is re-
sponsible to God for this? And who will
be held responsible on that last great day,
when we all feel that we will have to give
an account of our stewardship?
Every man who recognizes and feels
the duty or duties of organized society
resting upon him, as part of that soci-
ETY., will be responsible to his own con
science and his God for the welfare of
these waits of society. who, without home
or oLligation,are daily driftingto and form
ing finally an important part and factor
in the criminal classes of the country.
Bishop Penick is doing a good work in
Louisville, Kentucky; a work that de-
serves imitation and cooperation in
every city in the union. But Bishop
Penick is doing this work for Louisville;
who is going to do it in Austin? Those
who think we have no such population in
Austin are mistaken. These boys are
here in our own midst. They can be seen
about bar-rooms in the day time, even
doing tricks to pick up penny, and
about the newspaper Office at early dawn,
lodging and living where they can, re-
spOnsible to no one and apparently no one
responsible for them, but this commu
nifty, every man in it, must bear part of
this responsibility. 1t is duty of
humanity, and above ALL it is religious
duty; who will perform it?

IN the Commonwealth of Kansas rigid
prohibitory liquor law is i'll force; and
now comes the news that the attorney
general of the state threatens to sue the
city officials and owners of saloon build
ings in LeavenwOrth because saloons are
open in defiance of the law. Thus the
fanatical crusading that breeds hypo-
critics in Maine develops among the peo-
pie beyond the Mississippi a sullen con
tempt for legal enactments. High license
under strict supervision is the true anti
dote for the evils of intoxication: not a
chimerical attempt to regulate the appe-
tites of entire communities Philadelphia

All legislation that seeks to control
the appetites of men is "chimerical."
THE STATESMAN fayors temperance in ev-

papers in this state to stir up strife
among men by advocating legislative
control of their appetites, knowing as it
does the impractibility of any such
theory.

Physicians rightly characterize consti-
patton as an obstinate impediment to the
welfare of the body. The performance of
the more important functions, such as di-
gcstion. hillary secretion, and an active
circulation of the blood. are interrupted
by it in a greater or less degree, as the
development of the complaint is incipient
or mature. Not at once, of course, but
