Human Freight.

/ New York Press.
| Where are the good women who
are looking AROUND for a chance to
do some of Gods work? Even so
hardened an old sinner as myself
can muster up a cry any day down
at the barge office Have you been
there to look ever the human
freight II not, go. 1t will be
revelation. Among the hundreds
of immigrants that landed on We'd
nesday was Hungarian girl Of
some sixteen years. On the bosom
of her calico gown was tag
marked "Norw:ch. Besides the
gown she had on pair of worn.
out slippers and Handkerchief.
Positively there was no other gar
ment. The air was chill. She
shivered in it. With the hunted
look of lost animal she darted
hither and thither. None spoke to
her. None noticed her. The
most humane of men become cal
lous when placed in authority over
helpless fellow mortals; there
fore this poor child's condition did
not appeal to any official on the
pier.
A stylish woman of some thirty
years stood near the gangway as
the John G. Carlisle discharged
her cargo Of human freight. 1t
did not take an expert to tell that
she was of foreign birth. She was
strikingl> handsome, and her COS
tune, tailor-made. could not have
cost less than $3.50. She was
superbly hated, and her gloves
were most dainty. l addressed her
with an appeal IN behalf of the Hun
garian girl, and she beamed with
interest. 81 came here fifteen
years ago." she said, ssin the same
condition. l had no clothes, no
friends. l, too, was tagged. But
I have been fortunate. I have
home, family, Notwithstanding
could ask for. But what can 1
do tor this girl? She is going on
the Norwich boat, perhaps to kin
or to friends. Should l interfere?"
suggested that she might lend the
child something to keep her warm,
but she smiled sweetly and shrugged
her shoulders.

why? Most diseases begin in disorders of

A Dangerous Experiment.

Chicago Inter OCEAN.
Thinking people will view with
some misgivings an experiment
which the local office of one of the
great telegraph companies is now
making in Cleveland. This is an
effort to substitute girls for boys in
the messenger service. Social con-
ditions are not such, or, to be
palmer, public morality is not such,
as to justify the turning of young
girls loose upon the streets of a
large city,Athus throwing them
among associations and into en-
vironments that have not proved
altogether elevating. to the char
acter of boys.

Let Us BE Just to LeInly.
Washington Post.
OF course, we have felt moved
at various times during the session
Of the Schley court to comment,
more or less amiably, on certain
performances of Judge Avocate
Lemly. 1t has always seemed to
us, for example, that Lemly was
just a little bit too eager and too
ferocious in pursuit. Making all
allowances for a fervid and impe
tuous temperament, and giving due
consideration to the appetites that
go hand IN and with boiling blood,
we still thought that Lemly was
undersirably rampant at times, and
that he stood in need of quieting
applications and occasional refriger-
alton. For that, we have no
apology to make. On the contrary,
we claim credit for it. Lemly's
most extravagant admirer will adj
NIT, we think, that he does not APP
pear to advantage in a passion.
would advise him against knotted
and purple neck. Our remon-
strances, therefore though some
times they may have been put in
playful language, had purpose
both excellent and serious.
We do not intend, however, to
sit by III silence while the real con-
splrators, now thoroughly alarmed
and anxious to cover their own
tracks, endeavor to make a scape-
goat Of the judge advocate. Far
from it! 1t is our firm purpose, on
the contrary, to insist that in this
affair, from the beginning 20 the
end, Lemly has been, is, and will
be a mere tool. He did not start
the vile ferment which at last pro-
duced this infamous result. He
was not at Santiago, nor on the
day Of the battle was he at Siboney.
He did not engage in an indecent
scramble for prize money, and SO
get entangled III the inevitable feuds
and bitternesses that grew out OF
it. Lemly sat quietly at work in
his Washington Office, not even
snuffing the battle from afar, nor so
much as suspecting the hateful
brood of scandals and recrimina
tons then Matching. He published
no magazine articles in detraction
of SchIey. So far as we can hear,
he not only took no part in organ
izing the cabal, but seems to have
been unaware of its existence until
quite recently. Of course, it is
open to his detractors and evil
wishers to make much of the SEEM
ing enthusiasm with which Lemly
has played up to the very nastiest
and most odious objects of the
prosecution. If they make point
of this, indeed, we shall have to
admit it without struggle. But
we want to put ourselves on record
right here as solemnly asserting
that Lemlv has not done a thing
he was not instructed to do, or
done it as we'll as his superiors
wished. He has accomplish d
much in the way of bringing the
Navy Department into contempt
with the people. He has, concur
rently and to the Same extent,
commended Schley to popular SYM
pathy and admiration. But Lemly
has acted under orders from the
outset. He has been the agent,
not the inspiration, of the crime.
Let US be Just to Lemly.

The butter trade as handled by the
local dealers is, and from the nature
Of things as they exist must be, unsat
isfactory. A large surplus of butter
above the local requirements is taken
in every day and shipped at from five
to eight cents less than cost. Why?
Because our retail merchants have
not enough nerve to refuse to buy
when they have all they want, nor
to offer for inferior quality what
it is worth. The result is that
the best butter makers are at disad-
vantage. A and B are equally good
customers of the merchant. A makes
butter worth twenty cents pound and
B makes butter worth twelve cents a
pound. Both offer their dairy product
to the retailer, he strikes an average
and buys both at sixteen cents. The
good butter maker pays the poor one
a clear bonus of four cents pound.
What is the remedy? Creameries, of
course.
