A CIergyman,s Callers.

There are persons with requests for money for queer uses. For example: A woman once wanted to borrow $5, which sum she assured me was suf- ficient to stock and equip candv store, the income from which would support herself and three children. There was man who had long been out of work who wanted to borrow $1 with which to buy stock of tin horns to sell on the street at profit on the night following election day. But here, again, perhaps the strangest case was that of a man who came to tell me that, as a book agent, he had been canvassing for orders for the Bible. Not having met with success, he explained that the reason was that "the Bible was played out;.. he, there fore, wanted to borrow a quarter to in- vest in some sort of sample mouse trap, the need for which he thought would be abiding, Permanent, per- petual and perennial1y recurring Independent.

The subject of child labor has been discussed to considerable extent during the past few years. Contrary to the state law, many children under 14 years of age are said to be em- ployed in factories. The recent re- port of the United States industrial commission is very specific in regard to this subject. It says .'The commission are of opinion that q simple statute ought to be enacted by all the states to regulate the length of the working day for young persons i'll factories meaning by young per sons those between the age of major ity and 14); and in view of the entire absence of protection now accorded by the laws of many states to children of tender years we think that the em- poyment of children in factories in any capacity, or for any time, under the age of 14, should be prohibited" ,"

some under special and others under gen

that state were Incorporated as railway

Now although the constitution of Pennsylva-

of the exercise of this visitorial right. 1t
was at common law. Blackstone says:
For corporations, being composed of in
dividuals subject to human frailties (mark
this), are liable, as well as private persons,
to deViate from the eno OF their INSTITUTION,
and for that reason the law has provided
proper persons to- visit, inquire into, and
correct all Irregularities that arise in such
corporations whether civil ecclesiastic or
eleemosynary" He then goes on with an
argument which sustains his position that
civil corpora lions are subject to visitation
by their founders (Blk. Com, vol. l, '4SO.)

tutional provision against laws impairing
the obligations of contracts does not pre-
vent the legislature from regulating corpo-
rations under the police power of the state
in the use of their franchises. Whatever
difference of opinion" it has been said,
may exist as to the extent and boundaries
of the police power, and however difficult
1t may be to render a satisfactory defini-
ton of 1t, there seems to be no doubt that
it does extend to the protection of the lives,
health, comfort and property of the citi-
zen and to the preservation of good order
and public morals. The Legislature cannot
by any contract divest itself of the power
to provide for these objects. They belong
emphatically to that class which demand
the application Of the maxim, 'Salus populi

as the legislative discretion may devise

MORO FORTS REDUCED.
Capt. Pershing's Column Makins
Steady Progress in Mindanao.

A dispatch from Manila yesterday saws:
The Maciu Moros. in Mindanao, have offered
but slight resistance to the column under
Captain Pershing of the 18th Cavalry.
After series of skirmishes on Monday
and Tuesday of this week the Moros re-
treated into six forts on the shores of the
lake. When courier left Macu yester-
day for Camp Wears Captain Pershing was
preparing to assault the last Moro strong
hold.
The American column reached the former
camp at Maciu Sunday night. On Monday
the Moros opened fire on them with bra
cannon and rifles from a series of new forts
which had been erected since CAPTAIN
Pershings first visit to the place The hat
terry, under Captain William S. McNair
scaled ridge commanding the position of
the Moros and shelled them out The en-
gineers, under Captain Jay j. Morrow had
constructed a trail over the swamp flank
ing the Moro position. The men of Captain
Pershings column crossed the swami nv
the trail and captured and destroyed three
of the Moro forts. The Moros stood but a
short while and ran as soon the artillery
opened on them.
Captain Pershing has been ordered to de-
stroy the forts unless the Moros make
peace Twenty Moros were killed and MANY
were wounded. There We're no casualties
among the Americans.
The letter of General Sumner, in COM
mand at Mindanao, to the Macu sultans
has been delivered.
Frederick c. Jackson, captain and assist
ant surgeon. United States army, is dead
of morphine poisoning. The circumstances
surrounding his death are not known. Cap

The War Department has so far had no
account of the actual fighting between Cap
tain Pershings force and the Moro dattos
as reported in the press dispatches How
ever, cablegram received at the War
Department this morning, dated Monday
from General Chaffee, announced the he
ginning of Pershing's second movement

The War Department officials are watch

Captain Pershing against the Maciu Moros

of the most powerful and stubborn in his
resistance to the United States. He has
