Labor and v Workmanship Degraded.
1t is not alone the cutters of Shelf
field who are complaining of the
deterioration Of British manufactures.
The makers of furniture have also
appeared before the Royal Labor
Commission TO assert that labor and
workmanship are both being degraded
under existing conditions in free
trade England. Mr.. Ii. IIamm, secre-
tary of tho London branch Of the
Alliance Cabinetmakers' Associatio' =,
in giving his evidence before the
Labor Commission. declared that
cabinet work in England, SO far from
advancing in respect to excellence
and beauty of design, is deteriorating:
that the 10000 or $4,000 men through
out the kingdom engaged in this
trade for the most part worked under
conditions the reverse of encourage
ing, either to thoroughness of work
manship or to artistic design.
An English newspaper, comment
ing On Mr.. Hamnfs evidence, fully
indorses it, and adds that "never has
there been seen such q quantity of
low priced and i'll made furniture for
sale as at the present timc;7 that mo
one can compare such productions
with what was made in the days OF
our grand fathers without being
struck with the tendency to sacrifice
everything to what is miscalled cheap

use is concerned" Such admissions

Death OF Ernst Rrrenhnrdt.

The announcement of the death OF
Ernst Regenhardt was received here
Monday evening but no particulars
OF The sad affair were given in the
telegram that brought the news and
everybody was anxious to learn the
cause of the sudden taking eff OF so
noble young man who lett here only
a few weeks ago enjoying the best of
good health for st. Louis where he
went TO 60 into business fer himself.
Not until this morning could we
get any information as to the cause
of the young mans death. We were
shown a telegram this morning from
Ed. R~egenhardt to his father inform.
ing the family that Ernst died from
the bursting of blood vessel. lie
was not sick a day and as he lived
only a short time after the bursting
of the blood vessel his suffering was
of short duration.
Ernst Reeenhardt was the youngest
son of Mr.. Willism Regenhsrdt Of
this city, and he was a son of whom
any father could well afford to be
proud of for q nobler young man

not yet a man, but in ways, in actions
and in all that goes to make q true
and worthy man and good citizen he
was all. lie was courteous, obliging
and kind to all with whom he had
any acquaintance, and we can truth.
fully say that his acquaintance were
all his friends. Ills death, coming
suddenly and unexpected as 1t did, i,
a terrible shock to Q father who idoliz-
ed him as his baby son. While that
father is bowed down with grief
almost unbearabIe he must not imagine
that he and his family are the only
ones that are mourning the loss Of
this noble young man, for such is moi
the CASE The whole community il
deeply greived for they knew the
young man and loved him for hi.
many and manly qualities.
The remains OF the young man ar.
rived here Wednesday evening and hi

Inc maSu1ncent &lIs Dy Nj. f1el
pont Morgan Of 100000 for the US
of trade schools in New York hs
called forth throughout the country
great deal of richly merited praise
So princely q SUN a. q half 3 milliol
dollars given for " good q cause &
public education would commsn'
wide recognition under any circum
stances, but what renders this bene
ficence of Nj. Morgan especial.
noticeable is the fact that it is design
l to promote q branch of education
hitherto largely neglected.
Why should trade schools receiv,
so little encouragement Why is i
that of the many millions of dollar
given within the past decade for pur
poses of education such q very small
share has gone toward fostering othel
than professional pursuits? More
particularly, why is it that such slow
progress is made in the introduction
of manual training into our public
school system, East and West?
When in answer to the latter ques.
ton, it is objected that 1t is not the
business of the State to provide its
citizens with the means of earning q
livelihood, the reasoning is more
plausible than conclusive. Logicians
say that IAN argument which proves
too much proves nothing" This ar
gumcnt proves too much. For it
really overthrows the whole theory
of free public school education, so
far, at any rate, as anything beyond
the mere teaching of elementary read
ing, writing and arithmetic is con-
cerned. Look at our free schools as
they exist to-day. Look at the high
schools, normal schools and State
fostered colleges. They are, every
n of them, constantly helping young
people to fit for what are called "the
higher walks OF life" which means
professional, mercantile and other
capitalistic a~vocations. They gave an
education which is q stepping stone
to the career by which, later on, a
livelihood is to be earned. II we say
that the State may teach algebra,
anatomy, bookkeeping, French, Ger
man. Latin, Greek, English, composit-
ion, together with 4 multitude of
other abstruse and advanced"
branches of art, literature and science,
we shall not be able without gross
Inconsistency, to deny that it may
teach carpentry. cooking, line engrsv-
ing, necdlework, silver plating and
various other high class handicrafts.
The claim that the fsrmer teaching
affords mental discipline is met by
the reply that the latter affords both
and manual decipline, and that
one kind of discipline may be as use
full as the other. When it is said that
free schools r rightfully sustained
out of a common lax fund, because
the safety of the State depends upon
the intelligence of the rising genera
ton, that great truth is admitted, and
then the advocate of trade schools
can forcibly urge that Intelligence"
includes q knowledge of how to earn
4 living, and that pauperism en-
dangers the State no less than Hitter
acy.-N. y. Press.
