something for t!.e Bo,s to consider.

The boy who has an ambition to rise
in the world, and who has to make his
own way, yet has no means of assuring
himself what particular Inc of business
is best adapted to his latent talents, has
o problem before MIN that is difficult OF
solution. It is fact in problem that has
changed greatly III the last decade, aud
is changing every year. 1t has changed
wonderfully since the day the metropoli-
tan newspaper Office was considered q
royal road to practical education. A
writer in the New York Tribune recently
called on leading publisher in that city
to ask him to give place IN his house to
lad who desired TO learn the printers
trade, anticipating in that line of work
the opening by which the boy might
climb to something better than manual
labor, The publisher gave bit Of ad-
vice which is worthy of dissemination.
He said:
"Unless the boy has great strength of
character, established habits, and full
control of himself, beyond what you
oould expect of an ordinary boy, you
might better go and drop him In the
East river aud be done with it, than TO
put him into a printing office in New
York City TO learn the printers trade.
The offices are governed by the unions to
a large extent, and while some of the best
printers in the country belong 20 the
unions, some of the worst scamps belong
TO them. When they cannot get Work
elsewhere they flock here, and by the
rales of the unions are given work for a
small portion Of the time each week, bare
ly sufficient to support them. The rest
OF the time they drink and loaf around.
Their example and companionship are
enough to destroy any lad with whom
they come in contact, and to demoraliz
him utterly. Unless he has the strength
of character to Withstand temptation they
will lead him to ruin. The country news
papers are still schools for If education,
just as they were in the day OF Greeley,
Bennett, Colfax and Raymond, but not to
the extent that they were in those days.
The editor of a country weekly thirty or
forty years ago was generally a man of
advanced thought, who printed as care
fully prepared editorials as any that
might appear in The London Times
The lad VINO comes in contact with such
an editor, putting his ideas into type, and
hearing him discuss in his sanotum the
questions Of the day, secured in that way
alone q liberal education. Nowadays,
with patent plate II after and ready print
ed sheets, and the great daily newspapers
going to every community and hamlet,
country weeklies have become less
, thoughtful as to their editorial contents
and mere rehectors of local events. Still
a bright boy handling type in such an Of
fee has q chance to rise III the wo ID, and
the companionship and the temptations
of the country are comparatively light TO
what they what they would be IA city
like New York"

On reading the specifications of the so
called London Times allies atious a8ainst
Parnell and his associates one is almost
.empted 20 v1claim: "Well, what Of it?'
70 tho American mind the whole affair Is
..4tterly absurd. A5a0pg the gave acon-
sations lie one Of the circulation of anum-
Der of .Am-riean papers, some of them
oonspiouously opposed 90 the use of vic.
lent remedies 10 Ireland, and among the
names Of the iuoulpated are those of
well.kuown citizens of New York
whose participation in IrishrevolutionOry
movements ceased many years ago.
The list is swollen also by such names
as General Z. A. Collins, Anna Par.

non deceased, aud resting at last in
peace in his family burial plot in Ireland;
James Redpsth, labeled as ian advocate
of crime" and Alexander Sullivan, p, "a
member of the Clan ma Gael Transstlsn
tic" Apparently all the names that some
iuiormer could pick mp as at all connect
ed with Irish political movements are
haddled to gethor without system or rea-
son, and included in the omnibus iudict-
ment Of imaginary crimes. Many names
are absurdly misspeled, AS "Fiuerty" for
Fiunerty, and the whole stfair is is a ri
diculous travesty of charge really en-
uodying nothing substantial that every
citizen Of q nominslly free government

VICTORY FOR PROHIBITION.

The Decision of the Iowa Court Sustained
WASHINGTON. - The supreme oouri
on Monday sustained the constitution
atty of the prohibition law of Iowa. The
point OF issue Was the right TO manufac-
ture Intoxicating liquors solely for eT-
portation TO other states, dcspite the
state law, and il was pleaded that the
prohibitory feature, insofar as the manu-
fao,ure for expectation is concerned
was in conflict with the constitutional
provisions giving congress the sole righi
To regulate inter state comm cree. The
case IS that Of j. s. Kidd, distiler,
plaintiff in error, versus L, Il. Flerson
and $. j. Longhras. The court holds
that the state law prohibiting both th'
manufacture and sale, except Tor
mechanical, medicinal, culinary auo
saoramental purposes, Is not in conflict
with the inter state commerce provisions
ana the decision OF the Iowa oourt Is
sustained. The opinion Is by Justice
Lamar.

commerce Of the empire, giving a clear
line of communication through the
