A cURFEW ORDINANCE.
A Newspaper That Thinks 1t Is Great
Thing.
Weymouth Gazette. }

1t looks very much as if during the
ensuing autumn and winter months We
should, in all the states, be confronted
with ourfew ordinance, designed to
keep children off the streets at night
Last winter such an ordinance was
passed in mum Der of cities. Thus far
the movements has been confined to the
cities west Of the Mississippi river, but
gradually It Ia spreading toward the
East, and the effort made In the New
York Legislature to make similar or
dinance law is significant. The curfew
ordinance may bs explained in few
words. 1t differs in details in some Of
the cities where it has become law.
But its main idea is to keep children
under fifteen or eighteen years of the
streets at night after a certain hour. I'M
less accompanied by parent or guardian.
This hour is generally fixed at nine p.
M. although in some towns 1t is as early
as eight O'Clock. At the stated hour.
curfew Is sounded by tolling nine strokes
on the fre-bell, the city hall bell. or the
principal hell of the town. If child is
found on the streets after the ,tolling of
ourfew, unaccompan led by a guardian,
it is arrested, and, upon the first offence,
TONED To the second offence is at
tached @ fine ranging from three to ten
dollars, or the child may be imprisoned,
rs the magistrate deems best. This Is
the simple ordinance, although 1t varies
in respect to the curfew hour. the ages of
the children, and the penalties. When
the curfew idea for children was first
suggested, in Minnesota town, year
or so ago, it was received with ridioule.
But other towns and cities took it up,
and when the idea began to spread. more
| serious views Of it were taken, and direct
opposition was arrayed, 1t WAS de-
nounced in one city, for example, as
rank pater nalism the argument bein g
| advanced that the ordinance delegated
duties to the municipality which rightly
and solely belong to the parents, and
should be carried out only by them.
This argument was found to be made
quate, however, because it was shown
that the ordinance was mainly aimed
at the young hoodlum element, which,
existent in every town, congregates on
| street corners aud in public places after
nightfall, not only to its own detri ment.
| but to that of other children and to The
annoyance. and very often the disgust,
| of pedestrians.
The fact was also proven that these
hoodlums exer cised considerable infiu-
ence in causing ordinarily well. behaved
children to become unruly and that,
through these young corner loafers. chill.
dren of another kind were often persuad-
ID to be out at night, when otherwise
they would be content to remain at
home. 1t has been shown, too, that the
curfew, ordinance instead Of taking any
power way from parents, is distinct
ents who failed, for some reason or other,
to exercise proper supervision over theiI
children. To these parents the curfew
law comes as a distinct help. In fact,
wherever opposition has been shown I'll
the curfew ordinance, its greater advan-
taees..have been shown. understood and
| accepted.

CURRENT COMMENT.
MR.. REEDS SERVICE IN MAINE.

----s - - 49, ~~~> 49, 49,
(St. Louis Globe-Demoorat.)
It Is nob to be doubted that the service
of Speaker Reed was the most potent
single factor in the recent Maine CAM
paign. Fer certain reasons which, as
Carlyle says, it may be interesting not
to state, he was expected by many to play
only comparatively languid and per-
functory part; but those who thus esti-
mated him did not know the man. He
put aside his great disappointment as he
might have dismissed any trivial, every
day annoyance of life, and proceeded to
set an example of patience, fidelity and
manlfness that commended him to the
admiration Of the whole country. There
was not the least sign Of soreness or of
sourness In his demeanor. He was at his
best in every respect. Never before did
he do more vigorous and effective cam
paigning, or furnish higher proofs of his
remarkable ability as statesman and a
political leader. He was an inspiration
to h is party. arousing enthusiasm wher-
ever he went, and winning votes from
the other side in large numbers. Other
capable speakers, some of national repu-
tation, co-operated with him, but he was
from first to last the central figure of the
situation and the power that surpassed
oil others in the way Of influencing the
popular mind and promoting the splen-
did result that ensued when the election
took place.
The speeches that Reed delivered dur
ing this important State canvass have
been read and applauded everywhere.
They were models Of the best kind of
campaign oratory. There was no inain-
certify in, them, no demagogy, no vitu-
peration. ae discussed the predominant
issue in simple and modest style, and
yet most wisely and thoroughly. With
out claiming to know all that could be
known about 1t, he presented 1t SO clearly
that no room was left for misunderstand-
ing of the fundamental facts and the
practical considerations in the case. His
methods were free from bitterness and
infused with geniality that was at once
both pleasing and proftab BILE. The cheer
fulness of hia philosophy. che candor of
his arguments the generosity of his con.
cessions to his opponents, all contri buted
to the end he had in view, and won for
him success of which he may we'll be
proud. He appealed TO the common sense
and common honesty of the people, and
the result proved that he could not have
chosen a better and safer course. Such
speeches tend TO lift politics above the
common level of stump sophistry and
audaoity, and to inpart to a campaign
the meaning of something more than
mere collision Of antagonistio passions.
preiudioes and selfish interests. They
teach q useful lesson in the school Of
good citizenship, and emphasize the fact
that, after all, the main thing Ia patriot.

Had not the silver people been In ex-
tremis they would never have paraded
Bismarok's letter to Judge Culberson as
campaign document on the side of
free silver. In the first placs they have
been teaching us all summer that to pay
any attention to foreign advice in re-
gard to silver is to wear badge of
subserviency, and yet here they are pa
rading the opinion of plutocratio Ger
man as a reason why the Ameioan peo-
pie should vote for free silver. But the
Inconsistency of the performance Is not
the only, nor the most convincing. proof
that the Popocrats are very hard up in
deed for campaign material. Far more
convincing evidence is found in the fact
that the letter which they parade does
not bear any such construction as they
are trying to put upon it: Here is the
document.
Friedrichsurh, Aug. "a, 1895.
Honored Sir-Your esteemed favor Of
July has been duly received. l have
always had q prediction for bimetal-
ism, but would not, while in office.
claim my views of the matter to be in
fnll1bly true when advanced against the
views of experts. l hold to this very
hour that it would be advisa ble>to bring
| about among the nations chiefly engaged
in the world q commerce mutual agree
| meDt in favor of the establish ent Of
bimetallism.-
Considered from commercial and in
dustrial standpoint the United States
are freer by far in their movements than
| any nation OF Europe, and hence, should
| the people CT the United States find it
compatible with their interests to take
| Independent action in the direction of
bimetallism, cannot help but believe
that such action would exert o most sal
utary Influence upon the consu mmation
| OF International agreement and the com-
| ingi INTO this league Of every European
nation.
Assuring you of my highest respect,
| remain your most obedient servant,
BISMARCK.
Here are declaration in favor Of BIZ
metalism-not very strong one-a
question that is not now in issue in this
| country; and an opinion that 'indepen-
| dent action in the direction Of bimetal-
lism" by the United States alone would
work salutary influence upon the con-
summation Of a national agreements in
| IaVor OF Ine eQu6l use OF DOGn meCale.
Now what is independents action in the
direction of bimetallism. Is it free
coinagep President Walker the most dis
tinguished bimetallist in the country,
says free coinage at the ratio of 16 to ]
would retard bimetallism, and that Is
the opinion OF nearly ell the bimetallie
experts. Bismarck. who confesses il
this very letter to great Difference to ex
perts, would hardly recommend fret
coinage in face Of the opinion of the ex.
perts that it would retard and not accel
crate bimetallism, assuming him to be
q real friend Of the double standard. AL
that The letter amounts to is this: that
Prince Bismarck is inclined to look with
favor upon International bimetallism
and that the United States is in better
position to advance the cause than any
other nation. 1t was never intended te
commit its author to the 16 to one fret
coinage scheme unless that were in the
direction of general bimetalism, and
that it is not.
