AN INJUDICIOUS MEASURE.

The bill "to regulate the employment OF
women and children in mercantile establish
ments" which is now before the Legislature
was inspired by excellent motives. and we have
no reason to know that a single one OF its sup
porters is influenced by any unworthy purpose.
Nevertheless it is not. in our opinion, a bill
which ought to be enacted into law. With the
general disposition OF the time to protect those
who are comparatively helpless and especially
young children. from injustice and cruelty in
any form we heartily sympathize The growth
OF this sentiment and purpose in recent years
has been remarkable but yet doubtless there
arc abuses of weakness and ignorance still to
be corrected. Some Of these can be most hope
fully attacked by the forces Of example and
persuasion, while for others legislation may
be adyantageously invoked to provide REM
edics. But whenever q measure of this kind
is proposed for enactment it ought to be scruti-
nized with special care. for it is not unlikely

inflict worse evils than those which it is in.

As we have said, we commend the intention

not Objectionable; but there arc Others which

il is most unsuitable for the purpose. The re-
strictions which it imposes as to the age OF
employes and the hours Of labor would be eX-
ceedingly vexatous to the very clement IN inc
community whose welfare 1t IA supposed 20
protect. 1t would. for example, practcaiy
close the shops AZ 6 o'clock in the afternoon py
forbdding any person under eighteen years OF
age or any woman to work more than ten hours
\ day: an arrangement which would not only
diminish the earnings Of employees, hut serl-
ously inconvenience all who are compelled to
make their purchases after their own gay
work is over There are other lnterdlct'ons
which might possibly be salutary II they co"'o
be uniformly enforced, but which would GER
tainIy be evaded and in the process would
nrobably lead to false swearing, II not to Dr.

But the worst feature OF this measure Is that
the execution of its provisions is devolvcd upon
The Factory Inspector and his assistants. Iheso
persons are wholly unfit for such task. Inc
inquistivc supervision which they are COM
manded to institute would be intolerable Such
Swing is totally unnecessary in shops which'
unlike factories, invite the constant inspection
of the public and must go out Of existence IL
they are not frequented. 1t is possible that
this bill contains provisions worth preserving,
hut we are inclined TO think that 1t is too far
wrong to be tnkcred to advantage. Probably
the better way would be to make fresh start
after more thorough observation OF facts and
more careful deliberation.

A SOCIAL CLUE.

One OF the charms Of this cosmopolitan town
is the great number of its social organizations
and the variety Of its club life The grcgari-
Gus instinct, tempered by the segrcgating ten
denotes of diverse tastes. professions. pursuits,
beliefs religious and political, origins and ma
tiyitics, has found expression in such endless
variety that no stranger, newcomer nor old
resident need languish in loneliness or lack the
delights OF congcnial society and the comforts
of a club home. Among these associations
none are more attractive than those in which
of distant States and sections of our common
Union. Here they meet as members OF one
family, having a common pride in their birth
place and common purpose to perpetuate the
principles and cxemplify as occasion offers the
habits and practices in which they were reared.
In most clubs an unwrittcn law is recognized
that whatever takes place in the clubhouse is
in the nature OF domestic, confidential
transaction, which is not TO be made public.
There are exceptions. however. One is tho
Southern Society, which has a clubhouse in
Twenty -fifth.st.. and is composed exclusively
of natives OF the Southern States.
The proceedings of this organization are of
considerable importance, and on that account
the members feel it to be their duty to give
them to the public Hence it happens that
the daily papers frequently contain stirring
accounts of what happens there. Differences
sometimes arise in the club as they do every
where, even in the Presbyterian Church. But
they are only about minor matters. such as

Rear-Admiral Gherardi means to do his level
best to make the big naval review in connec-
ton with the Columbian Exposition a brilliant
success, and according to present indications
he will not fail of his purpose. 1t has been
definitely decided that the review will take
place on April 81 in the waters about New
York City. From tho account published else
where it will be seen that the navies of the
world will be well represented on that inter.
esting and notable occasion, as warships of
Great Britain, Russia. Italy. Spain. France
Germany Brazil, Portugal and other nations
will participate in the review.
The Personal Registration bill has received q
bad black eye, and 1t looks at present as though
Il had been knocked out. 1t is in the hands
Of the Assembly Judiciary Committee and that
committee is now controlled by Brooklyn Dem
ocratx and the Republican members. Whether
the bill will be reported again depends, clearly
enough, on the measures taken to bring tho
Kings County men into line. Anyhow, the
chance of passing this measure in the Senate
b slim indeed.
Attention is called in one of our Washing
ton dispatches to the singular conduct of the
late Democratic House in insisting on a re-
duction Of 81, 900 in the salary of the First
Assistant Secretary Of State-from $4,000 to

The people of Ncw-Jersey will soon nave
reason to love Governor Werts for the enemies
he is making. The Democratic Senators al
Trenton disclosed their animus toward the
Executive clearly enough yesterday, when they
passed over his veto the partisan bill designed
to deprive the Republican Mayor OF Jersey City
Of some of his powers. Four of them, how
ever, joined with their associates with great
reluctance and only in obedience TO caucus
dictation. The servile Assembly has agreed 20
follow the Senate's lead in this matter. ana so
a most Objectionable measure will become Il
law II is unfortunate that only majority
vote in the New.Jersey Legislature is required
to override Q veto.

The MAYORS Mistake.

Several of the city officials were
discussing the qualities of various
smoking pipes yesterday afternoon,
when City Clerk Ramsay brought
out a pipe to show Mayor Pachal,
which he values at $1,000. AS it is
too large for Captain Ramsay, he
does not use it, but is keeping it as
treasure. He offered it to the
mayor to try for while, but his
honor misunderstood the Captain,
and taking the pipe, left the city
clerks office, thanking Captain
Ramsay for the valuable present

BEEVILLE BUZZINGS.

BEEvILLE, Tex, Aug. %, 1898.
Anticipating an advance on the
price of cotton most Of the product
of this county has been so far
stored away. One merchant here
expects to hold about 1000 bales.
There seems to be a spirit Of dis
satisfaction and unrest among the
farmers generally on account Of
the two combinations. low price of
cotton and the unsettled state of
the money market, which may cut
some figure in the next general
election. Some of the bread win
ners are severe in their denuncia-
ton of the administration while
others have an mistaken conf
dence in President Grover CleVe-
lands honesty and good Judgment
in the administration of the ma
tion's financial affairs. They all
seem to recognize the fact, howev-
err, that the present fight over the
money standard has moved beyond
mere party contention and partisan
strife. They all unite in petition
for immediate relief from some
source, and the party or leaders
who will deliver them from the
| present financial darkness will
have the undying praise and graft
tude of the masses.

TWO ATTEMPTED RAPEs.
Will Thomas in Prison, Alleged to
be the Brute.


be the Brute.
Will Thomas, alias G.. H. Christ
mas, was captured by Captain T..
j. Hughes aud his assistant, De
tective Bader, last night, and
placed in the city lookup at the
Central Police station on suspicion.
This morning he was transferred
to the county prison, and a charge
was preferred against him in JUS
tice Adams court. for assault with
intent to rape, the complaint haY-
ing been made by a negro girl
named Dawson, who is a servant
for a family residing on San Pedro
avenue. He was arraigned before
Justice Adam and bond was fixed
at $1,000, which he was unable to
give and was in consequence COM
mitted to Jail to await the action
of the next grand jury.
On the evening of July s, a Ger
man lady, the wife of a driver,
while crossing the Southern Pacific
railroad track on East Commerce
street, returning to her home from
the cemetery, where she had been
watering the flowers on her little
daughters grave, was approached
by a negro, who grabbed her and
pulled her into a vacant lot where
there were numerous bushes. lie
assaulted her, but her screams and
those of her little son, who was
with her, frightened the brute and
he released her and fled.
On the night of July 10, two days
later, Susie Dawson, the col
ored servant girl above referr-
ed to, was on her way 10
her mothers home near the
cemetery, when just as she had
crossed the railroad track she was
stopped by a negro. He did not
say a word, but seized her and
with his superior strength threw
her down. She raised the alarm,
crying help, and, as the people
were rushing to the scene the ne
gro escaped.
Susie Dawson knew the fellow
who assaulted her, and repaired
the following morning to the de-
tectives office, where the facts were
related to Captain Hughes. Night
after night the officers watched
for this william but could not find
him until last night when Captain
Hughes, while wandering around
in the vicinity of Jackson street,
was informed by negro man that
the negro, whose name is Will
Thomas, was hiding, and had been
for three weeks, in house at the
head of Jackson street, and that he
had shaved smooth and was trying
to disguise himself so that he could
not be identified. The Captain
went direct to the place, where he
found Thomas and took him to jail.
Captain Hughes has every rea-
son to believe that Thomas is the
man who also assaulted this Ger
man lady, and she will be sum-
mOned to the county Jail to identi-
fly him.
