Protest Against Imported Miners.

SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, Sept. 26-A large
delegation of miners representing mines in
different sections of the State called on Gov
ernor Tanner this afternoon to protest
against the Importation of negro miners into
Illinois. The delegation was headed by
President Hunter and Secretary Ryan, of
the United Mine Workers. The Governor
expressed the strongest sympathy for the
miners. He said that in the absence of fed
eral legislation the worst class apparently
could be got together and moved in great
other to the detriment of labor. He prom
ised to exert all his power against the i'm
hibiting bringing armed bodies of men into
the State, the Governor assured the miners,
would be enforced. The Governor pointed
out also that county boards of supervisors
could refuse to pay for armed deputies to
guard imported miners.

MILWAUKEE,, Wis., Sept. 26.-Soldiers of
the Spanish-American war when so disabled
that they cannot care for themselves will be
admitted to the National Soldiers Homes.
Senator John L. Mitchell says that while
the law provides that the national homes
are for disabled soldiers of the civil war,
some discretion is given the board of man
ayers of the homes in clause which per-
mits such other soldiers to be cared for as
right. Under this ruling Senator Mitchell
saws that members of the regular army
have been cared for at the ZONES until they
could be transferred to their home al Wash
ington, and he says 1t is his fudgemnt that
needy and disabled soldiers of this war will
be cared for at the homes if they apply and
room can be found for them. 1T may be
stretching the law little, said the sena-
tor but it is in the interest of humanity"

But the latest step of Germany
in the direction Of protection for
workingmen is even more radical
and far-reaching.
In the annual report of the fac
tory inspection department Of
Prussia, lately published is, beside
the usual statistics also a propo-
sition for the establishment of a
maximum workday based on SAM
tary principles. The department
had received from the chancellor
a request to investigate and make
propositions in regard to the nee
essities in this matter. The result
is the proposition to inaugurate a
law fixing the maximum workday
in almost all branches Of industry,
ranging from eight hours in most
lines down to two hours and a half
in places where dangerous chemi-
Gals, such as sulphuretted carbon
and anasthethic ether are used.
We are wont to gloat over our
superior liberties, but it is a sad
spectacle to see that all our laws
and courts are able to do in these
momentuous questions is to pro-
tect the vested rights" of the cor
porations and issue ridiculous in
functions against workingmen who
are contending for rights which
common justice and humanity
should have granted without soil
citation.
In conclusion allow us to say
that while a criminal may be an
object of execration, yet most of
those who are in prison for having
committed crimes against proper
ty are white-robed angels CON-
pared with the man who takes the
bread out Of the mouths Of women
and children in order that he may
gain an unfair advantage over his
competitors. And as for the man
who takes the place left by
striker under circumstances like
those quoted, the earth would have
been more benefited by the birth
of litter of rattlesnakes than by
his advent.

In Manila they have 129 holi-
days which fact progresses me
strongly in favor Of Manila. In
fact, I move that some of those
holidays be annexed anyhow,
whether we get the rest Of the
group or not.
A scattering Of holidays judici-
ously dropped around in this coun-
try would be a distinct advantage.
Then, if in addition it were to be
considered good form to keep the
holidays as days of recreation and
amusement, it might turn out to
be a national blessing
The fact Of the matter is that
this great and glorious country is
altogether too sudden. It doesn't
have time to get acquainted with
itself. The almighty dollar has
such a swift movement that man
hardly gets time to get acquainted
with his wife and children if he
wants to get place in the race for
it. A man may live in a place for
ter or fifteen years and you ask
him who lives next door. The
chances are he has not had time to
find out.
Goldsmith sings "man wants but
little here below, nor wants that
little long" That is a very true
and philosophical observation, but
although it may be occasionally
quoted in the United States, still
the maxim here is rather that man
wants all he can grab, borrow OF
steal here below, even though he
should get paresis or die from apo
plexy, and get no other enjoyment
from his wealth than the occasion

Are they not to be envied the

ment and relaxation, which if not
! properly satisfied will turn upon
