OHIO BEHIND THE AGE.

OHIO BEHIND THE AGE.
The prize of one hundred dollars
offered by Mrs. Anelie Rives Chanler
for the best essay on "Child Labor"
it's evils and cure, has awakened pub
lie interest in a question which has so
far received no consideration adequate
to it's Importance. The employment
of children of tender age in work.
shops and factories, when they should
be in the nursery or the kindergarten
or the school, is an injustice to them
and grave menace to society. The
humanitariaIs of England and the
continent have had their attention
directed toward the evils Of enforced
labor of children, and many remedies
have been proposed, some of which
have in a measure mitigated the evil.
In this country the curse has not
gained that foothold which it has nat
urally secured in the older and more
densely populated countries, and
mere pittance ground out of the bones
and brains and nerves of young chill
dren of both sexes becomes very ma
terial thing to the father of family.
The evil is largely one existing in
manufacturing districts, yet not eX-
clusively, as many young children
are employed in the truck patches of
the market gardeners and among the
vines of the small-fruit and berry
growers. The evil complained of in
the manufacturing districts of Eng
land and the continent has en-
crouched upon the factory life of New
England and the middle states.
Massachusetts and New Hampshire
have enacted laws governing the
employment of minors and prohibit
ing in toto the employment of children
below certain age. The tendency
also on the part of legislatures to
make attendance at school COM
pulsory upon children of certain age
has diminished the dangers threat
ened by the greed of parents in
thrusting their young children into
the ranks of hard labor. Still the
evil grows, and is not always met by
legislation with that regard for the
future OF the young childred and the
good of the state which should
induce and direct legislative action.
An attempt recently made to pass
prohibitory child labor bill in
the Ohio legislature, the home of
Sherman, and Garfield and Foraker,
failed because of the hostility of the
glass manufacturers who lobbied
against it successfully. The laws in
several of the eastern states are so Sc
we're on the employers of child labor
that many children come from these
states to the middle states to work in
the factories there. The laws of these
eastern states are necessarily inOpera-
tive to prevent the children leaving
or to prevent their employment in an
other state. Ohio has written herself
a quarter century behind the age in
thus refusing to close the doors of her
factories against the child labor of the
east. Her best remedy now is in a
strict compulsory education law which
would shut these children up in school
until they were fourteen years of age,
and prescribe restricted hours of la
Dor, for school purposes, for tour years
longer. The evil travels westward
with the march of manufacturing in
dustry, and it is only a question of
time when every state in the union
will be called upon to grapple with it.

good advertising, dirt cheap, over the

knock the "cen tses" out of that ten
dollar bill for a fact. This is little

THE Ell Paso Tribune shows a just
and discriminating sense of the situa-
tion in the following:
"The Plumed Knight will undoubt-
eddy attend to the nations foreign
affairs during the ensuing four years"
There will be just that difference
between the ensuing four years and
the four years just closing. In those
now ending the nations foreign af-
fairs were not attended to. Blaine, of
Maine; Jim, that's him; he has lots of
vim.
THE Laredo Gate City has this to
say concerning the advent of the re-
publican party to power:
1.-THE new administration in Wash
ington will certainly be an able one so
far as talents 60; it remains to be seen
whether it will be a wise One."
No doubt it will be very different
body than was its predecessor, which
seldom said foolish thing and never
did a wise one. The country will
wait and see as to its wisdom. With
Harrison and Blaine at its head there
will be no doubt of its brains. The
country seems disposed to accept the
change gratefully and the LIGHT pro-
phecies well satisfied nation at the
end of the first term.
Ell PASO is not ignorant of the quail
ity of ex-Secretary Window, as that
gentleman has had no little dealing
in that quarter as an interested party
in Mexican Central railway affairs
The Tribune of Ell Paso, strong demo,
cratic journal, has this to say of its re.
publican acquaintance:
at seems evident that eX-Secretary
Window will be called upon by Mr.
Harrison to preside over the treasury
department. Mr.. Window proved
himself capable by his former admin
istration, and the selection of Mime
sota's favOrite is not only wise bu
ajudicious and far-seeing action OF
the part of Mr.. Harrison"
Thus one by one the journals fall in
to line and Harrison's enemies arr
learning to appreciate the wisdom
which guides his acts.

ING TO MOTHERS.
HOW TO GUARD AGAINST THE DISEASE.
Group is the terror ofyoung mothers, es-
pecially during the early winter months,
as it is then most prevalent. To post them
concerning the cause, first symptoms,
treatment and how to prevent it, is the
object of this article.
The origin of Group is common cold.
Children that are subject to it take cold
very easily and Group is almost sure to
follow. The first symptoms of Group is
hoarseness, it is peculiar hoarseness,
easily recognized and once heard always
remembered. Usually day or two before
the attack the child becomes hoarse and
gradually shows symptoms of having TAX
en- cold, and this is where the mistake is
usually made, the mother thinking her
child has just taken cold gives it no espec-
ial attention until awakened in the night
by the violent coughing Of the child, finds
it has the Group and remembers it has
had cold or been hoarse for day or
! two. Such circumstances often occur,
and in many cases the mother has moth
ing in the house that will relieve it, and
may be several miles from a physician OF
drug store. You can well imagine the
situation and her distress. The time to
act is when the child first becomes hoarse
or shows symptoms Of having taken cold
If Chamberlain, s. Cough Remedy is freely
given from that time on, all tendency tc
Group will disappear and all danger be
avoided. The remedy prevents fully TO-,
900 cases Of Group every year. 1t is the
main reliance with many mothers through
out the western states and territories
they have learned its value and how tt
use it, and in those families Group is sci
dom known because it is always pre-
vented. For sale by G. M. Dreamer.
