JUSTICE WHITE.

The Louisiana Senator Appointed to the
Supreme Court-The Senate Surprised
WASHINGTON, Feb 90 Senator
White, of Louisiana, has been nom
mated for associate justice of the SUI

The nomination was a complete sur
prise to every one.
AS soon as the nominatio was re-
ceived the senate went into executive
session and confirmed Mr. White with
out opposition.
Edward d. White will take his seat on
the supreme bench as the youngest of
the justices, and, with the exception of
Justice Field and Harlan, he will have
entered at an earlier period in life than
any of the other justices. and will have
the exceptionally long term of twenty
one years to serve before retirement.
He was born in the parishof La Fourche,
La, and was 4s years of age last No
vember.
He was educated at Mount St Mary
near Emmettsburg. Nd, at the Jesuit
college, in New Orleans, and finally at
Georgetown college, d. G. He entered
the confederate army, and after the
war was admitted to the bar by the
! Louisiana supreme court and practiced
his profession during the troubled
years which followed the reconstruc-
ton period.
In 1874 he began his political career
as state senator. Leaping into the
law again he became associate justice of

BROOKLYN, Feb. 16.-After a long
trial in which the defense has made
every possible endeavor to thwart JUS
tice, Boss John Y. McKane, of Graves
end, was found guilty this morning Of
violations of the election laws during
the election last November and next
Monday he will be sentenced The
penalty is Imprisonment in the states
prison for not less than two nor more
than ten years at the discretion of the
court
McKane is now in the Raymond
street Jail awaiting the sentence which
is to be pronounced upon him on Mon
day morning at o'clock. Only the
clemency to which the jury earnestly
recommended him, stands between the
ex-czar of Gravesend and long term
in prison. In view of this he may re-
ceive something less than the full limit
of the law.
An appeal to the general term and to
the court of appeals stand in the way
of the carrying out of the sentence
whatever it may be. But the lawyers
who have heard the trial feel confident
that these appeals mean merely delay
and not reversal

FRENCH WORKING CHILDREN

Laws Passed for Their Protection That D6
Not Protect
Already in 1874 q law was passed for
the protection of children and girls
who had not attained their majority,
in factories This law remained al
most entirely q dead letter. The law
of November 3, 1892, limited the labor
of children of thirteen to sixteen years
of age to ten hours per day, but did
this necessitate the Limitation of their
work during the gathering of roses and
Jasmine in the Midi? These flowers are
destined to be used in a manufacturing
industry, to be distilled in order to ex-
tract their essences. Ought, then, their
gathering in to be regarded as agricult-
ural industry?
The above law does not extend to
agriculture, though from the economic
point of view it does not differ from
other industries And why was this
difference made? Because the depu-
ties elected for the most part by rural
populations feared to provoke among
these people a discomfort which they
did not dread on the part of the manu-
featuring population, since, in their de-
PRAYED appetite for regulation, very
many of the workmen had demanded
measures Of this kind without we'll IN
Outstanding their nature, and the en-
ployers seem to be quantities neghgea6les.
After this law came into force, youths
and girls of sixteen to eighteen years
of age could no longer be employed
more than sixty hours per week; girl,
above eighteen years and women were
restricted to eleven hours per day. The
women thus remain in the workshop,
while the girls and children were
obliged to go away. And what are
they to do outside? This fastidious
protection of children may have tho
most unfortunate results for them.
The cooks and pastry cooks of Paris
have three thousand apprentices, many
of whom are orphans or have no rela'
lions in the French metropolis The
law compels their employers to give
them one days holiday per week, and,
as the employers have no desire to take
responsibility in the matter, this week
ly holiday becomes a day of oompul
sorry vagrancy for these boys.
The law condemns them to idleness
The legislator has not dreamed of what
this turning out of doors means for the
children or the young woman. On the
day after the PRONUNCIATION of the law,
one house-that of Lebaudy-dismissed
forty-four girls employed in breaking
sugar because they were too young.

nouced that they would question the

keep children and young Uwomer

moral condition of these young people
been improved?-Yves Guyot, in Fort
