PROTECT THE CHILDREN.

One Of the things particularly insist
ed upon by the convention of the Geor-
gia Federation of Labor that adjourned
Yesterday was that there should be
legislation by the Georgia Legislature
for the protection of children against
the greed of corporations and the in
humanity of parents. 1t is no doubt
a fact that in too many instances
children are put to work in the cotton
and other factories before they are
sufficiently mature to stand the labor
imposed upon them and the confine-
ment to which they are subjected.
OF course there are mills which re-
fuse to employ children who are of an
age when they should be in school or
enjoying the pleasures that belong to
childhood. 1t is asserted. however, that
there are mills which employ children
as soon as they are old enough and in
telligent. enough to be of any value
whatever. These children earn only a
mere pittance-at least their pay is
small and their hours of labor are
long They grow up in Ignorance, be-
cause when they once get into the rou-
tine of mill life they seldom get out
of it until death releases them.
1t is asserted on behalf Of the mills
that they resist as far as they can the
pressure of parents who either live on
the earnings of their children or pro-
At by them. The parents, in many in
stances, seem to be far more anxious
to get what their children can earn
than they are to better their children's
condition by sending them to school
and keeping them healthy by afford
ing them opportunities for such pleas
ares as naturally belong to youth.
The pressure in favor of legislation
for the protection Of children who are
employed in mills or are likely to be
is becoming stronger all the time. 1t
is matter which the Legislature will
have to deal with, and there is no rea-
son why it should not deal with it at
an early a day as possible. The longer
it is put off the greater will be the
obstacles in the way of doing justice
to the children.

CURRENT COMMENT.

The New York Commercial Cnd.)
says; Let it be noted that there is
no crisis and no division in the domi-
nant party in Congress when it comes
to passing pension bills.
The Springfield (Mass.) Republican
Qnd.) says: 1.-The complete surrender
of the Boer forces in the late republics
within two weeks after the terms of
peace were signed is a satisfactory
refutation of the charge that they were,
in any moral sense, bands of guerrillas;
and it may also be noted that by their
prompt surrender. when the end had
been declared by their leaders, the rank
and file of the fighting Beers have gain
ed fresh distinction in history"
The Montgomery Advertiser Dem
says: what the Globe Democrat says
about the trusts is equally misleading.
We may give the Republicans credit
for passing such antitrust laws as we
have, but we shall wait to see wheth-
err it either can or will enforce those
laws before we grow very liberal or
diffuse in giving credit. We do not at
present call to mind any trust which
has been suppressed or seriously en-
barrassed by the Republican law or
the Republican officials. The tariff and
the trusts are vital issues and the Dem
ocratic party should use them. for OPP
position to them is not only right. but
it is good policy and good politics. :"
The Baltimore Sun (Dem.) says:
THE fame OF Lee Is established. The
purity OF his patriotism and his mo-
tives are no longer assailed except by
the ignorant and the vindictfve. Moth
ing that Mr.. Charles Francis Adams

"Out in a Colorado town." said Rep
resentative Shafroth to party of coll
leagues in the cloakroom, according. to
the Washington Post, there was a ho-
tel-keeper who liked to play poker, and
also went to church with his wife on
Sunday. One morning, when the plate
was passed, he had nothing in his pock-
ct except a penknife and round bit
of celluloid marked with the figure 8.
Thinking to have joke on the parson,
he put the poker chip in the plate.
ct fooled the preacher this morn
ing he remarked to his wife when they
reached home.
1.-THE next morning the preacher came
around to see the hotel-keeper. Broth
er Smith, he said, I noticed you put
this chip in the contribution plate yes
terday. Does the figure stand for 5
cents or $5?'
Five dollars, of course answered
the hOtel-keeper.
THANK you, Brother Smith, said
the preacher. and will you redeem it
this morning.
There was nothing else for the no.
tel-keeper to do except to shell out his
S. into the preachers hand. And,
when he told his wife that night what
had happened, it did not seem funny
at ALL"

The commencement season of the
colleges has been made brighter and
more cheerful by gifts from patrons
and well-wishers. Mr.. Rockefeller has
given the University of Chicago s75o,
900, raising the sum of his gifts since
1890 to 1000. 600. He has also given
to Cornell $250.000 MI. Joseph Whar-
ton has given the University of Penn
sylvania 100000, and other colleges
have received smaller gifts. Among
the latter are numbered the Georgia
State Normal School, which has re-
ceived $4,000 from Mr.. George Foster
Peabody of New York, the Georgia
School of Technology. which has re-
ceived $4,000, and the University Of
Georgia, which has been the recipient
of several gifts, nearly all small,
as reported by Chancellor Hill few
days ago. 1t is a matter of pleasure
to record the receipt of even small
gifts to Southern institutions Of learn
ing, though il could be wished that
wealthy and broad-minded friends OF
education would turn the golden
stream of their largess more literally
towards the South.

A SETBACK ron co-EDUcTroN.

The co-education movement has re-
ceived some thing of a setback by the
expulsion from the Northwestern uni
versity of three men and one woman,
with the prospect of the expulsion of
several others. The Northwestern is
a great Methodist institution at Ev-
anston. Ill. For a number of years
there has been a steady increase in
the number of women students there,
and a falling off in the number of
men students. That condition of af-
fairs is not at all satisfactory to the
officers and trustees of the institution.
In fact, the report is that the faculty
is beginning to entertain the opinion
that co-education is not as much of a
success as its advocates claim for 1t.
In this connection it is worthy of no.
tice that President Harper of the Chi
cago University is thinking seriously
of separating men and women students
in the variou classes. it seems
that for the good of the in
stitution too many of the men
and women find more satisfac-
ton in the society Of each other
than in their studies. The consequence
is that there has been a gradual low
ering of the standard of scholarship.
OF course, if President Harper should
succeed in carrying out his plan there
wouldn't be co-education at the Chi
cago University in fact, though it
might exist theoretically. 1t is by no
means certain that he will succeed
for the reason that many millions of
dollars of the university's endowment
were contributed with the under
standing that the institution should be
open to both men and women.
1t is also stated that Stanford Uni
versity proposes to limit the number
of women students. That means, of
course, a movement to gradually make
the institution one for men only. In
this state. a. couple of years ago, there
was a quite strong sentiment in favor
of opening the doors of the State Uni
versity to women. 1t seems to have
died out, however, and in view of the
movement in some co-education uni
versities against women students it
is not likely to reappear unless that
movement should be unsuccessful.
OF course, there Is much to be said
on both sides of this question. One
of the arguments in favo' of co-edu-
cation, however, appears - have been
shown to be rather faulty. That ar
gument is that the educating of men
and women together has a refining
effect on the manners of the men
that it rubs off their rough edges and
makes them gentler and more cour-
teous in their behavior. 1t is alleged
that the influence upon the men for
the better is imperceptible, but that
the effect upon the women is very
marked, and that it is an effect that
is not desirable. 1t is a roughening
effect

MONEY FOR THE SCHOOL TEACH.
ERS.

The Governor has succeeded in bor-
rowing $150,OO0 at per cent. with
which to pay the school teachers. 1t
was our understanding when it was
decided to use the public property fund
the amount was S350,000, If we are
not mistaken-for the purpose of set
Ting the outstanding obligations of the
state, that there would be no necessity
for borrowing money for teachers SAL
aries this year. Last year the amount
borrowed was 500, 900. This year 1t
is $4,000 less, owing to the $S5O,000 of
the public property fund being turned
into the general fund.
1t seems that Notwithstanding the
use of the large public property fund
the state is still in debt. 1t is our
recollection that during the last ses-
sion of the Legislature efforts were
made to create the impression that the
state was not running in debt, but
that money had to be borrowed every
summer to pay the teachers because
the taxes were not collected until
sometime in the fall. 1t is pretty safe

very generally entertained now, in
view of the fact that the public prop
erty fund has been spent and that still
there was a necessity for borrowing
$780, 900.
But why is it that the teachers have
always to wait for their money? How
is it that everybody else is paid before
they are, and that when money is bor-
rowed it is always for them? Are they
not entitled to as much consideration
as any other class that is paid out of
the funds of the state? Why is it that
it is never necessary to borrow money
for the salaries of state house off,
cials, but always for salaries of teach

now that the appropriations which the

Where Moses StoOd.

Condolences of ludicrous character
are liable to occur on the most solemn
occasions, says the New York Chris
tian Advocate. As an illustration,
we recall that the Rev. C. r. Moses
of Virginia, a Baptist preacher of con-
siderable renown, once spent Sunday
in Richmond, soon after he had visit
ed the beautiful regions around Noun
tain lake, in Giles county, Virginia.
Being invited by one of the city pas
tors to preach, toward the close of the
sermon he gave as an illustration a
vivid description of the wonderful
landscape scenes which he had Just
beheld, and as he closed called on
the choir to sing something of their
own selection. They struck up the old
hymn beginning, There is a land of
pure delight" but when they reached
the fourth stanza these words con-
fronted them:
Could we but stand where Moses stood,
And view the landscape DER.
They tried to sing, but broke down.
The congregation followed their ex-
ample, and the service closed in gen.
eral merriment.

attorney was Timothy Sullivan AS
