Although most Of the chii- dren rapidly learn to assume d wee begone expression at all times, very often their distress is sincere, especial y late at night, when, tired and sleepy, they long for their miserable houses, but are too frightened to meet the ugly looks and the stinging whip of their tyrant. Many noble women have attempted to rescue these waifs from their sad fate, but have been baf- fled by the peculiar racial secretive- ness of which mention has been made. The children. probably awed by threats of terrible punishment, cannot be in- duced to testify against their oppres- sors. and prefer their captivity to tie unknown dangers whose existence has been impressed on their unGeveloped minds as facts.
 Sodfficultisitt to convict the padrones that the police had to labor in season and out of season to secure the inditt ment of a brute who had put out the eyes of three children for the purpose of making them more successful beg gars. When the case finally came to trial witnesses could not be secured for love or money, and the judge sentenced the fellow to serve one year in the peHi- tentiary, more on general principles than on the testimony submitted Yet there was not particle of doubt about the wretch's guilt. His escape was due II l. of his victims and countrymen. The moral influence exerted by the pad rones persons brought up in free country can never learn to understand.
 When children grow too old to be sent out on begging expeditions, they are turned adrift. The boys usually take up shoeblacking, the girls-the less said about them the better. Many of these emancipated slaves, when old enough, become padrones themselves; and exceedingly wicked ones, too. if the testimony of police authorities is to be believed.
 The least harmful padrones are those possessing a number of street pianos and hand organs. Their operators are hired on commission. They are. as a class, harmless, peaceable and thrifty, and soon emancipate themselves.
 It cannot be disputed that there is no remedy for the padrone system, ex cept restriction of immigration. In- telligent Italians believe this quite as much as other students of the Italian question in America. A sensible law, equitable in every provision, which would keep out the ignorant of all 1a- tions, is absolutely needed to squetch not only the padrones but to res tore dignity to citizenship and to purify municipal government.

menace to American institutions lies in the fact that the padrone naturalizes his creatures as soon as the law allows and very often before-and then uses them for voting purposes. He throws his influence with the party whose bosses offer the greatest inducements. and all deals for the vote of the Italian labor colonies are made with him. The ''spoils" go to him absolutely, and as he is usually successful in delivering his goods at the polls. he sometimes evolves into ward boss himself and helps to still further degrade our al- ready corrupt municipal politics.
 The representatives Of the Italian government in Chicago have labored very diligently to suppress the padrone system, and in this effort have had the hearty cooperation of the hundred, or more eminently pectable Italian mer- chants and professional men who make their home there, but so far their work, ardent though it has been, uQduced mo satisfactory results.

in the world. He will, in no circum- of his friends and associates. When interrogated by am official he will pro- fess ignorance of the English language, and when confronted by an interpreter he simply becomes dumb as the pro- verbal oyster. To this trait the pad rome owes his safety; and also perhaps to threats that open expression. would lead to a loss of work.
 From political viewpoint the labcr padrone certainly is the most danger ous specimen of his kind; but from a purely humanitarian point of view he is an angel when compared with the cruel taskmaster who hires children, anywhere from four to fourteen years of age, and sends them out on the streets to play harmonicas, violins and mandolins, or to sell newspapers, gum or flowers, or to beg and steal.
 The slave driver of ante-bellum days was a highly respectable member of society when brought in comparison with these fellows who grow rich at the expense of the health and morals of thousands of little children" said lady engaged in mission work in the Italian quarter of Chicago's great West side. The padrone who derives his in come from child slaves is usually the lowest type of man. He secures his chattels from poor Italians with large families, and pays rental varying from 50 cents to one dollar per week for their use; but in exceptional cases buys them outright for a term of years. The children are taught to scrape the. violin, if musically inclined, to strum the mandolin, to dance and to sing the most popular songs of the day. If too dull for this line of work they are given bundle of ofnewspaperswhich they must sell late at night, especially after the close of the downtown theaters Girls are usually chosen for the latter work, because the poor things. claG in rags and with artificial tears in their eyes, are more apt to appeal to the sympathies of the happy playgoers than dirty boys.
 \ police officer who is familiar with every feature of the child padrone sys- tenn is authority for the statement that each little slave must return to the mas ter with 50 cents as days earnings. In case of failure the culprit receives merciless beating and is sent to his bed on the floor without supper. These who turn in more than the required half dollar receive an extra fine supper. consisting of maccaroni and cheese. but the good work of one day does not

>senounces every plan having in view the>regulation of immi grafton as fanat- ical, narrowminded and puritanical. The great majority of American citi- zens has thus far occupied a middle ground, favorable to legitimate restric- tion and inimical to the absolute clos irg our ports to respectable working men from abroad. The belief that every man who desires to become an Ameri can citizen should have a common school education and a fair idea of the institutions of this country has of late found many adherents among those who formerly advocated the wide-open theory; and the development into na- tiOpal scandals of various tribal vices introduced by the benighted immi- grants from southern Europe leads well-meaning citizens of every creed and nationality to hope that congress will speedily pass laws calculated to place that value upon Americancitizen- ship which now seems to exist only in the mind of the effusive Fourth of July orator.
 While the restriction of migration would not prove panacea for all pub lie evils. it would certainly. in the course of time. wipe out many of the abuses which have grown up in all of our large cities and which, while not openly sanctioned by the authorities, are permitted to exist because the men who profit by them happen to have strong political ''pull''--the latter itself being based upon the very evil whose suppression has been demanded time and again by the people.
 Reference is here had to the padrone system, which fourishes like a green bay tree in the Italian quarters of Chicago. There is not an immigrant from Italy who can manage to escape paying tribute to the leeches of his own nationality; not a single one who can get employment except through the padrone into whose hands he may hap pen to fall. When a corporation wishes to engage Italian laborers it's managers have to consult padrone, who agrees to do the work for certain price The Spadrone then hires the men on his own account and paSs them whatever he Pleases.

FREE TO MILLIONS.
A Valuable Book Sent Free for the
 Asking.

Medical books are not always inter esting reading, especially to people en- toying good health but as matter of fact scarcely one person in ten IS per fectly healthy, and even with such, sooner or later sickness must come. It is also a well established truth that nine-tenths of all diseases orlgl- nate with breaking down of the di- gestion, a weak stomach weakens and impoverishes the system, making it easy for disease to gain foothold. Nobody need fear consumption, kid ney disease, liver trouble or a weak heart and nervous system as long as the digestion is good and the stomach able to assimilate plenty of wholesome food.
 | Stomach weakness shows itself in a score of ways and this little book de- scribes the symptoms and causes and | points the way to a cure so simple that any one can understand and ap- ply.
 | Thousands have some form of StOm- ach trouble and do not know it. They ascribe the headache, the langour, nervousness, palpitation, constipation and similar symptoms to some other cause than the true one. Get your di- gestion on the right track and the heart trouble, lung trouble, liver dis ease or nervous debility will rapidly disappear.
 This little book treats entirely on the cause and removal of indigestion and it's accompanying annoyances.
 It describes the symptoms of Acid Dyspepsia, Nervous Dyspepsia, Slow Dyspepsia, Amylaceous Dyspepsia, Catarrh of Stomach and all affections of the digestive organs in plain Ian guage easily understood and the cause removed.
 It gives valuable suggestions as to l diet, and contains a table giving length of time required to digest vari- ous articles of food, something every person with weak digestion should | know.
 No price is asked, but simply send your name and address plainly written on postal card to the F. A. Stuart Co.,, Marshall. Mich, requesting little 1 book on Stomach Diseases and it will be sent promptly by return mail.

Some of our legislators seem to be of the opinion that the restriction of im- migration would cure every evil which has been brought to this country by ignorant foreigners. Of course, the line of argument presented by them has many powerful points, most of them based on pure patriotism and a com menda.ble desire to benefit the people not only the native-born but the for eigners who are already here as well. And there is an element-powerful in the politics of our great cities-which
