difference in classification. and that the
period which includes much the largest
proportion of child workers.
Census figures of child labor are as fol-
lows:
1880, 10 to Is lis, S5e
1890, 10 to IA 60o.Ult
Col. Wright estimates, or guesses, that
257, 773 should be added to the figures for
1890 to obtain the number of child workers
of the same age represented by tie figures
of the preceding census, making the mum
Der in 1890, $50, 7S6.
The Massachusetts, factory inspector re-
ports separately the number of children
employed in the factories of that State
from IA to 16 and those under IA. OF the
1919 employed in 1890, S,263 were from IA to
IS and but 1856 were under IA. This is q
proportion of 5 to /. In 1891 the proportion
was 6.6 to l. If we accept this proportion
as at all representative we must conclude
that child workers in 1890 yer 14A must
have o~utnumbered those under 141a several
times. Taking the number of the Older
children as but double those under 14la
we should have to add to the 603, OBJ repre-
senting those under 141A, over 100000, max
ing the total number of child workers in
1890 from 10 to Is over 10000 instead OF
$50, 1855, as Col. Wright has guessed. This
is also but a guess, but it agrees with OBJ
s~ervation and investigation of the depart
ment of labor.
Census statistics certainly do not
| prove a decrease of child labor, and
considering that in some States child
labor is prohibited at IA and in others
at Is, the figures seem much better
evidence of a large increase in the en-
ployment of children.
The change in age classification, for
which no good reason can be given, is
cited as a deliberate effort to conceal
the truth as to the amount of child
labor, which it does effectually.
The Importance of these revelations
is not so much in their bearing on this
question as in the general inaccuracy
and unreliability they indicate in the
important statistical work of this bu-
real of the Government, which, as we
nave Sdlu, Has u0IGIOlOIG UcCA dCOCpIOu
by the press and public in general as
unimpeachable. If the Government
statistics are biased in the interest OF
any class or political party where are
the people to turn for the truth?
The situation is a serious one in
view of the fact that a Presidential
campaign is approaching, in which the
statistics issued by the Bureau of La
Dor, under Mr.. Carroll D. Wright's au-
thority, will undoubtedly often be
cited. But what reliance can the peo-
pie place on these figures?
Mr.. Wright has been carrying on an
alleged investigation of trusts, and we
may expect during the coming cam
paign to have sprung on the country
an ostentatious official report from the
Bureau of Labor which will settle the
question in favor of the trusts and the
Republican party.
But what reliance will or can the
people place in any figures from this
already discredited source?

WHERE WAS THE TREACHERY.

UAo I'LL
A great many imperialist eyes were
opened to what the country is thinking
when, in his attack on the administra-
tons Philippines policy, Senator Petit
| grew, of South Dakota, stated that the
American forces in Luzon had at
tackled their allies, which was an act of
~treachery, for which probably al over
whelming majority of the American
people to-day hold the administration
at Washington wholly responsible.
Senator Pettigrew's remarks had the
effect of a bomb among the imperial
lists of the Senate. They were para
lyzed, but after a while the irrepres-
sible Lodge, of Massachusetts,, found
tongue to deny the accusation that the
administration had proven treacherous
to the Filipinos, or had in any way
broken faith with them, or had occa-
sion to-.
In this assertion Senator Lodge was
rash, for he butted against a stone wall
of facts.
The Register has already quoted at
some length from Senate document No.
81, but here are further extracts from
the correspondence contained in that
document, the authenticity of which not
even Mr.. Lodge will deny, which have
been collated by the Chicago Chronicle
and are of much interest and impor-
lance as throwing a lime light onto
the relations that existed between our
forces and the Filipinos prior to the
outbreak between them. Here is some of
the official correspondence. First read
this dispatch, dated April 81, 1898, from
Pratt, United States Consul General
at Singapore to the Secretary of State:
General Aguinaldo gone at my in
stance to Hong-Kong to arrange with
Dewey cooperation of insurgents at
Manila" Second, Dewey to Pratt, re-
lating to the first: Tell Aguinaldo come
soon as possible" Third, Wildman,
United States Consul, Hong-Kong, to
Secretary of State, May 10, 1898:
Large supply of rifles should be taken
for the insurgent allies"
Now, fourth, here is an interesting
cable from Dewey to the Secretary of
the Navy, dated June 81, 1898:
Il ave given him (Aguinaldo) to under
stand that | consider insurgents as friends,
being opposed to a common enemy. He
has gone to attend a meeting of insurgent
leaders for the purpose of forming a civil
| government. Aguinaldo has acted indie
pendently of the squadron, but has kept
me advised of his progress, which has been
wonderful. l have allowed to pass by
water recruits, arms and ammunition ana
to take such Spanish arms and ammunition
from the arsenal as he needed. Have fire.

This Week at Keith's.

Miss Minnie Seligman, who remains fo
a second week at Keith's, this week pre-
sented for the first time in Philadelphia
yesterday afternoon. pocket edition o.
I'm Paradise, . farce that contains many
humorous situations In this piece Miss
Seligman interprets an entirely new char.
acter, and it is said to be among her best
offerings. Her company in this piece is
said to be thoroughly capable. The com.
edy department which is evidently un.
usually strong, will also include Harding
and All Sid, one of the most popular
teams n vaudeville; Charlie Case, whose
monologue is a feature of every bill to
which he contributes; Fields and Ward,
Lavender and Thompson, Lynch and
Jewell, Mimic James A. Dunn and Mr..
Tom Mcintosh, the colored couple-a
bunch of laughmakers seldom equalled in
any entertainment. Houdini, king of
Handouts" will be a special feature of
this weeks bill. His act created a sensa-
ton, it is said. at Keiths, Boston, where
lasted four weeks, the audiences that were
dumfounded by his performance being as
large as those attracted by Ching Ling
Foo Captain of Detectives Miller de-
clared yesterday that at the private exhib-
ition in the City Hall tomorrow, the
''King' will be dethroned, for Mr. Miller
says he possesses handouts that will end
the career of Houdini. Hundreds of de-
tectives and policemen from Massachusetts,
to California haye been baf1ed by this
performer, and many local detectives and
policemen will submit during his stay,
"brace cts" that, they declare, are calcu-
lated to hold even Satan. All persons,
whether police officers, Jail officials or pri-
vate individuals, who desire to place any
kind of shackles upon him are invited to
do 80, and he offers 500 to any person
who will place on him regulation pair
of handouts in good order from which he
cannot release himself Houdini's trunk
mystery" also amazed the Boston audience.
Louise Cunning, than whom vaudeville
possesses no more popular vocalist; George
Bly,, boy soprano; the Carl Dammann
troupe Of acrobats and the biograph are
other enjoyable features of the program.
