TIL fact that the Massachusetts Repub-
hcan convention urged the adoption of a
constitutional amendment which would give
Congress the power TO fix the hours of
labor was at the time thought to be based
upon the further fact that the laws of
Massachusetts, are in advance of those of
most States respecting the hours of labor
and the regulation of child labor Some
later statistics respecting child labor in the
cotton mills of Alabama, which have been
obtained by Irene NJ. Ashby through per-
sonal investigation, may nave influenced
the Massachusetts Republicans. In the cot
ton mills which this woman visited she
found white children from six to seven
years of age working twelve hours a day,
many working by night. The wages OF
these children vary from ten to thirty
cents a day. Most of the countries of
Europe, including Russia, have laws pro-
hibiting children of tender years working
in factories, and in twenty-one States, in
Guiding all of the Northern manufacturing
States, such laws exist n are enforced.
1t is complained that Northern men who
are interested in Southern cotton mills are
responsible for child labor in Southern fac
tories. In Alabama such men secured the
repeal of a law limiting the employment of
children to eight hours a day.

OF them. but such is the logical inference.
Each party Is TO have half Of the force,
so that one party may not dominate it.
and the h%alf-and-half plan is to neutralize
political influence in those important
branches OF service. In the direction of
the police. after officers are appoint
ed, the political opinions Of the men should
not be regarded. If men are favored be-
cause they are of one party. and others
are Disseminated against because they are
of another party, high efficiency and dis
cipline are impossible. Once on the force,
each man should stand on his record. and
each should understand that he is not to
be favored because of his party affiliations.
In the discharge Of their duties the police
should be nonpartisan-

Venezuelan Troops on the Colombian
Frontier Are DemOraIfzed.

WILLEMSTAD. Island of Curacao, Oct.
16.-Advices received from Maracaibo,
Venezuela, under date of yesterday. say
that the Venezuelan troops on the Guajira
peninsula are in a condition Of utter con-
fusion. Robberies and outrages by Indians
continue. The entire Indian population is
against the VeneZuelans, and the latter
dare not leave their camps. The Indians
are ambushing and killing small parties.
Decentralization is spreading among the
Venezuelan troops, and there is increasing
sickness among them. Four deserters from
the Venezuelan ranks were recently caught
and shot. The Venezuelans at Guajira are
in no condition TO assume the aggressive
against Colombia. hence there is little
likelihood Of fighting.

HIS SOUVENIRS HELD UP.
Vicar of Wrexham Must Pay Duty on
Gifts for NaIesnians.

NEW YORK, Oct. 16.-Among the pas
sengers who arrived here tonight on the
Teutonic was Canon W. II. Fletcher, vicar
of Wrexham. The canon brought with him
from Wales a box filled with souvenir
pamphlets which he intends to distribute
to the graduates Of Yale College when be

his establishment the customs inspectors
refused 10 allow him 10 bring the pamphlets
ashore until he had paid duty on them.
The Vicar Of Wrexham is the rector of
ST. Giles Church, which Is properly known
as lone Of the several wonders OF Wales"

century and within the shadow OF its
square tower is the final resting place Of
Elihu Yale. the founder OF Yale College.
He was buried I'm Ice. in the same tomb

which Cannon Fletcher will give away

of the epitaph on the gravestone in the
ancient churchyard.

One of the Indiana delegation i'm the
House remarks that the only d~efaulter and
thief who is held up to public execration is
the FEDERAL appointee who was so fortunate
as to have the backing of prominent Re
publicans. The discovery of a defaulting
county officer attracts very little attention.
The stealing OF over 800. 900 of fees by three
successive oil inspectors in Chicago receives
but casual mention. but let a federal Off
Ger be short a few thousand dollars and a
howl of detraction goes up. The repre-
sentative is quite right. Neely's crime has
been more denounced in Indiana than the
defalcations Of a dozen county officers in
the past three years.

BUYS FAMOUS PAINTINGS.
William G. Whitney's Collection Fast

William C. Whitney's collection of
pictures bids fair to become one OF
the most celebrated in existence, not
for its size or its Importance in the H.

it includes certain masterpieces of ex-
traordinary pecuniary value.

chase of notable example of Van Dyke

tenion, because there were scarcely any
doubts as to its authenticity. Euro
