The Next Assembly.

A very strong body will be the next
legislature. This is particularly true
of the lower house, whose personnel
will embrace Philo A. Orion, the
brilliant orator and polished gentleman
from Darlington; j. w. Thomas, the
very sound citizen and experienced law
maker from Chippewa county; L. M.
Sturdevant, of Clark, who was one of
the ablest men on the floor and who
was almost unfailingly on the right
side of every important question that
arose; E. Ray Stevens, of Dane, whose
general worth as citizen is a COM
plete guaranty of his usefulness as a
solon; A. r. Hall, of Dunn, needful to
restrain corporate greed and to guide
the house in it's parliamentary course:
A. c. Dodge, of Green county, whose
solid sense in the last assembly often
came into good play; Lewis Benson, OF
Jefferson, who is a practical farmer
but ready speaker and whose hobbies
lie in the direction of cheaper text
books for school children and better
things for farmers; Speaker George III.
Ray, of La Crosse, a fair presiding Off

J. II. p, in Philadelphia Sunday
Times: In reading your Mount Joy
editorial in last Sundays paper l was
reminded of the fact that when we see
good thing we should push it along.
/ remember when young man work.
ing at my trade we were compelled to
work longer days and for smaller pay
than at the present time. For in
stance, then bricklayers got SIPS, and
carpenters the same per day, and so
on all along the line. Now wages are
more than double and the hours only
eight or nine per day. The work as a
rule was harder. ana often when Sat
urday night came We would wait till
9 or 10 o'clock for the boss and then
be told that we must take coal or gro
Gerry orders or get nothing. Then
probably we would go on for another
week or two and finally decide to quit
and walk the streets for another job.
Would any employer today offer his
men orders instead CT cash? Then If
we had a grievance we were told to
quit. Today we submit our claims to
the employer and usually tAmeet with
success, as witness the Case of the
bricklayers recently where the pay
was fixed at $4.05 per day of nine
hours without a growl or protest.
Does that seem like gap between the
rich and the poor? In those days We
walked long distances to work, as a
rule. Now we ride if we only have
dozen blocks to go. In those days
most working people lived in rooms
or courts or alleys. Today it is just
the reversal nice little house with
all the modern conveniences being the
rule. Many other facts might be cited
to prove that the gap between the rich
and the poor is really diminishing in
stead of growing. l cannot help thir.s-
ing that one who argues that working
people as a class are worse off today
than in times gone by is either
knave or a fool. am sorry l cannot
agree with H. M. S. as to dividing the
wealth of the world, but am rather in
clined to favor the plan of our Irish
friend, who. when told by his Quaker
employer that it would not work for
the reason that in few years the
wealth would all again be In the hands
of the few, replied by saying that's
easily fixed. Sure, we could all divide
I'D over again.

Many Italian immigrants are de-
coyed into virtual slavery in southern
phosphate mines, according to Consul
General Giovanni Branch, who, says
the New York Times, has just for
warded to the governor of South Caro-
lima an affidavit by Nicolo di Rene
detto of 70 Mulberry street, who de-
clares that he escaped from the mines
at Pom Pom in that state Feb. 26, after
nearly four months of involuntary
servitude. Benedetto says many OF
Mis- fellow-countrymen are still held
There, terribly beaten if they refuse to
r labor, and that on Feb. 20 one man
who was lying i'll was shot dead by "A
guard because he would not get up and
work. Benedetto says he got away by
running a heavily armed guard during
a midnight storm, and has spent the
greater part of the time since in max
ing his way to this city. Benedetto
alleges that he was promised 81 day
one a piecework basis, but found that
he could earn only 30 cents, which was
appropriated by the contractor for
whom he had agreed to work as the
cost of his board. The men were re-
fused permission to leave until they
had paid back the money advanced
for their railroad fare, which, OF
course, they could not do. Consul
General Branchi says that this is but
one of many similar complaints that
have come to his notice. and that for
ten years or more a system of slavery
has been carried on in those mines.
The shooting referred to, he says, was
done in self-defense, according to the
verdict of coroner's jury. The con-
sui general blames the mine owners
for giving their padrones such free
dom of action as to make such condi-
tons possible.

Mans Work After TiftY.

There is goodly measure of encour-
agement for the man of middle age
who has not as yet realized his am
billions in Mrs. Reifsnider's summary
of the achievements Of men who have
done their best work after passing
their fiftieth milestone, in the current
number Of the Coming Age, in which
she makes strong plea in behalf
Of age, with its wisdom and expe-
rience. The not uncommon idea that
the man of fifty has overstepped the
threshold of strength and usefulness
she declares wholly erroneous. Until
the age Of fifty man Is scarcely pre-
pared to instruct youth, and surely not
mankind, in truest knowledge. Before
that time he is usually an apprentice,
an experimenter at best, and shall we
put ourselves under his hands as the
tools Wfth which he makes his expert
ments. and come out the victims of
mis- ignorance? The wise student seeks
the aged instructor who has tried and
proved by that greatest of all tests,
time, the good and the true; and that
age is more excellent than youth is
proved inasmuch as most things that
youth accomplishes and prizes age
finds to be only vanity. Youth, and
often middle age, may be compared to
the green fruit period; then man be-
gins to choose and select according to
his taste and need those things in life
most pleasant or NOSE useful to him.
Age, the ripe fruit period. is when
man re-collects, as 1t were, all, and
makes his final choice of those fruits
of ais whole lfes labors that may be
garaered and stored in the winter
storehouse even to and through to the
end Of old age. He has learned to
know the most wholesome and most

lasting, and he picks and sorts with
care, rejecting all that will mt serve
him to the end-thus his written rec
ord after fifty Is most valuable because
1t is rich in experience, knowledge
wisdom, while before that period it
may have been theory and speculation
only-and it is from this written re-
collection that posterity inherits its
rarest literature in art, science, his
tory, craftsmanship, and the like.
All that is achieved in all departments
Of learning before fifty becomes
doubly valuable when 1t is tested and
tried and found true after fifty. The
faculty of wisdom is a diviner gift
than the faculty of energetic action,
and wisdom has ever been the endow-
ment Of age. and was never bestowed
upon youth. The worlds great think
ers are, after all, the worlds great
lords and governors. Those who see
the farthest and look the deepest into
the heart of things will inevitably give
laws to all other men. Moral quail
ties adorn old age more frequently
than youth. The older man is not
easily moved. His opinions rest on a
broad basis of experience and judg-
ment, and therefore are well and clear
ly grounded. He knows what he be-
lieves and why he believes 1t. The
browning glory of old age Is piety, and
its absence in old age is as rare as Its
presence in youth. The physical char
acteristics of old age are solidity, lat
ent strength and endurance. There
may be less elasticity in age than In
youth, less exuberant activity, less OF
overlooking animal spirits. but there
is much greater firmness, hardness and
hidden power. We have conclusive ev-
idence that If a man has lived an or
derby life his mental faculties are
more vigorous after the age of fifty
than before; that is, he can accomplish
more In a given time on account of his
mature judgment and acute perception
proofs of which we gather from
every century in the history of man,
beginning in the Christian era and
down to the present day" And then
follows long list of the worlds great
est names as examples sustaining the
authors contention that after fifty
years" comes the harvest time of life.

To the American eve and mind this

for Japanese to look down, either
literally or figuratively, upon men,
