TELEPHONES
sLEMr,s POWER.

a few weeks ago the Dispatch expressed
the opinion that Consressman-eiec Slemp
Of the Ninth District would probably be
awarded the glory and worry Of distribut-
ing Federal patronage IN Virginia.
In the present Congress there is no
Republican member from this State. but
.n the FiTty-eighth Congress, that party
will be represented by Colonel slenp.
And now our Washington correspon-
dent tells that the President has
Informed the Cabinet that he Will
look TO him as the proper person
20 consult IN the distribution OF
Federal patronage in Virginia. BY this
re suppose that whenever there is a
quarrel or tangle slemp Will be called in
as arbiter.
A distinguished congressman from this
State once said he was q happy man until
Grover Cleveland was elected President:
that then The burden OF distributing
patronage in his congressional district
fell upon his shoulders and that ne ttlle
congressman made enemies by the score.
Friends Of lifetime were lost in a min
ute Ets happy hours vanished and he
became the humble. but unsatisfactory
slave OF the ofice-seekers. Peace Of
mind left him like the haseless fabric Of
vision
Unless Colonel slemp be OF pecu-
liarly happy temperament. he may ex-
pect like troubles but he will have the
nso!ation-wha;ever that may be-of
being known as the Virginia boss. True,
We are told that Chairman Agnew and
M Bowden will continue TO have in
fuence. but, II SO. it viii not be as chiefs.
but as the chiefs lieuteuants.
For our part We look upon the Presi-
dents arrangement as q natural one:
politically speaking. sfemp has proved
his strength before the people. At the
very time when 50 many other Bepuhli-
cans We're uttering walls OF woe and de-
SPAR over the disfranchising clause Of
the Constitution he unfurled his banner
tn the winds and took the held. Catch
ing the Democrats of the Ninth District
in q drowsy condition. when they should
have been very wide awake, he was
elected-the first Republican congress
man TO be elected under the new Con
stitution!
Whether The appointment of Judge L.
L. Lewis as United States District Al
torney was made upon the advice of
Slemp or before the Colonel was taken
into the confidence of the administra-
ton. we do not know. Probably Slemp
was not influential in the matter, and
may De Judge Lewis would not have
been able 10 walk into Office as triumph
antly as he did had Judge waddilI and
District-Attorney Allan remained as
GOOD friends as they had been.
As we have said. Colonel slernp has
had big job put upon him. Whether he
very ambitious OF political advance
nent or not remains TO be seen. Ii he
ias Napoleonic ideas-the shouts of vic
tory still ringing in his ears-he NAV
aspire TO be Governor, or United States
Senator. Who knows?

CHILD LABOR LEGIsL .Troy

The movement in the General Assembly
10 prevent the working Of children Of
tender age in our mills and factories. and
thus not only conserve their health. but
turn them into the school-houses, is meet
ing with warm support from many OF our
State contemporaries. The Fredericlss-
burg Star declares that the House Of
Delegates acted wisely on Tuesday. when
it passed the bill torbidding the working
OF children under u years CT age in fac
tories or mills. Children Of that age, it
adds. should be in school.
The Newport News Press says it is
pleasant TO note that the House passed
the bin by an Overwhelming majority, and
then remarks that such laws should not
be necessary in an enlightened land. but.
unfortunately. they are. as daily revela-
tons prove.
And the Norfolk Landmark. after felic!-
tating the House, calls upon Senator Lyle
to withdraw his bill in favor of the
House measure, if there is not enough
difference between the bills to make the
continued support Of his own a matter
of principle. From what we have seen.
continues The Landmark, the difference
does not appear to be essential. and the
great desideratum is TO pass any bill
which fills the bill"
1t is clear from these expressions in
favor of the movement and from similar
ones We have found in other State papers.
that the Virginia press and the Virginia
public, for whom the press speaks. have
awakened 10 q realization of the evils Of
cl.ild labor in the mills and demand that
there be an end OF it.
