justly tormented without himself paying

in dark, ffl-yentilated. disease breeding
holes. there win be curse on the cloth
ing; not a mystical spell like those in
which our forefhthers believed, but very
real and scientific curse OF disease.
Within the last few months we have
heard of two or three cases of poisoning
by candy or other articles sent through
the mails. As for the man or woman who
is so foolhardy' as TO nibhle food coming
| nobody knows whence, or to leave it about
| where anyone else win get hold of it, it
is not worth while to waste much pity on
such a victim. There is just as much
sense in being sorry for such an individual
as there would be if he or she went out
in the woods and gathered toadstoois with
out making any effort to find out what
they were. and cooked and ate them. No.
body would sympathize very deeply with
an imbecile like that. And the people who
eat candy coming anonymously by mail
are of much the same type. But these are
not the only reckless and foohardy per-
sons in the world. There are other types
of folly just as bad and productive of far
more harm.
When men and women OF intelligence
and calling themselves Christians, allow
their fellow-men to live in pest holes like
these sweat-shops, to grind out a living
by fourteen, fifteen, twenty hours day
Of incessani back breaking drudgery,
scarcely taking time for food or sleep,
what shall be said of them? When a
great New York church owns some of the
worst tenement house property in the city
ard gains revenue from it. without tear
ing down the disgraceful old rookeries and
building houses fit for human creatures to
1--we in, what shall be said of that church :?
When We allow others to live under con-
ditions which make vice and crime in
eYitable, while we blindly trust that the
consequences viii never touch us, what
shall be said of our wisdom and our civil
lization?
There is not so much of this brutal and
callous indifference as there was a hun
dred years ago. In those days men were
imprisoned for debt in England and kept
in the old Fleet Prison, sometimes for life
In those days hanging was a pleasing
spectacle, and men and women were
hanged for petty theft. When another hun
dred years has gone by, let us hope that
our descendants will regard the sweat-shop
as We regard the old Fleet Prison, the pill
lory and the whipping post. But in order
that this may happen the present genera
tion must awaken to its duty. 1t may be
that disease germs were hidden in the uni
forms of our soldiers, because these uni
forms were made in the sweat-shops to
save money. and it may not. But it is alb
solutely certain that disease is conveyed
in some garments thus manufactured, and
1t is well that the public should understand
that fact.

Philippine Unfitness.

The attention OF aIessrs. Bryan, Schurz, ct al
should be called 20 the complete collapse of the
Asunaldo congress and cabinet Both bodies have
dissolved because they have not had experience
enough to know how to conduct self-goyern-
ment. The Filipinos are accustomed to being
ruled for ages and will have to acquire taste
for autonomy by, getting acquainted with it by
degrees They know so little now about manag-
ing state that their congress has had to ad-
ioum because it could not frame constitution.
In the face of this demonstration of the COM
plete unftness of the natives to use the compli-
Gated machinery of Anglo-Saxon self-government,
the ant-expansionists should modify their plans
for Philippine independence. II the islands are
to he set mp in the governing business, as soon
US they are able to manage it successfully, the
time should be put little further ahead In
about 800 or l,eoa years, at the present rate Of
progress, a Philippine republic might be safely
left to take care Of itself. But anything to hap
pen at remote date in the future need not
concern anybody now living.

COLE GIVES HIS TESTIMONY
Young Nan Trial for His Life at
Bloomington Takes the
witness stand.

BLOOMINGTON, Neb.. June 2s.-(Spe-
cial Telegram.)-w. s. Cole took the stand
today on his own behalf saying that on the
morning Of December he went TO see
George Gessford, who lives eight miles
northeast Of here. to rent a farm from him
and came back about noon, passing by ]. NJ
Barbers house, talking 10 Barber few
minutes. Gessford and Barber testified, cor
roborating Coles testimony. Cole then
said he came on to Bloomington. passing in
front Of Walder's livery barn and was seen
by c. Carlisle. He reached Toomans house
at o'clock. Carlisle also corroborated
this. Cole then said he chopped some wood
until about o'clock. when he went to a
neighbor's by the name OF Taylor. half a
mile west, to see man by the name OF
Stratton, whom wanted to get to husk his
corn near the Kreichbaum place. He talked
with Taylor and Stratton for a few minutes
| and then went back to Toomans house.
About o'clock while doing his chores
Elmer McNeis came by, who was on the
road to church, to see Tooman and he talked
! to McNes a short time. McNeis then Joined
his wife a short distance away and they
went on to church. Taylor, Stratton and
Mr.. and Mrs. McNeis corroborated this testi-
mony.
During the night Tooman's baby took
| sick and Mrs. Tooman and daughter Grace
brought II down stairs, where Cole and Too
mans son Roy were sleeping. Mrs. Too
man woke Roy up and sent him for medi-
cine. She was doctoring the baby for three
hours, but Cole said he did not get up or
say a word to anybody. The prosecuting
attorney got him very badly tangled up on
this during cross-examination. Cole said
when Tooman came home from Krech-
baum's Saturday morning, December 3, he
| told him that Kreichbaum had left and
walked to Riverton. Monday, December ),
while Tooman was eating breakfast, he re-
marked that If he was going to make a bar
gain with Kreichbaum he must go and see
him that day.
While Cole was giving his direct testi-
mony he said that when j. G.. Smith, ex-
sheriff of this county. came up to see what
he knew about kreichhaum being missing,
he told him everything he knew. When
Attorney Adams commenced shooting the
| crcss-examination at Cole, he could not
say why he did not tell him what Tooman
had told him about Kreichbaum going to
| Riverton, so they could trace him. He also
said Tooman told him he had bought forty
hogs. Cole sold and helped haul ninety,
| but did not think IL was necessary to tell
| Smith this. Cole was asked IL he did not
think 1t looked strange for Tooman to buy
all OF this stuff while he admitted that Too
man was in debt to him and many others
| but his answer was he did not know. This
was the answer to many OF the questions
on the cross-examination.
| Toomans family will take the witness
| stand tomorrow
