An Agreement in Wisconsin.

In q dispatch announcing an agreemen.
between the republican factions in Wiscon-
sin 1t is stated:
THE governor was forced into the agree
ment because the following of the senator
was too strong for him to continue in op-
position. AS a result. the governor will
not oppose the nomination of legislators
pledged to vote for Spooner, while the sena-
tor will assist the governor by endeavoring
to secure members of the legislature who
are willing to support the policies of the
state platform.
Why, according to this very statement,
Governor Lafollette was no more forced into
the agreement than was Senator Spooner
The original proposition was that the friends
of the governor should work for the re-
election of the senator and the friends of
the senator for the carrying out of the
governors state policy. There was nothing
unreasonable about this. The governor con-
trolled the state convention by a vote of
three to one, and his policy therefore had
an overwhelming party Endorsement. Why
should not the Spooner men al the very out
se- have accepted terms SO entirely within
the bounds of party usage and requirement?
The real explanation of this agreement
seems to be that strong as the republicans
have been in Wisconsin for some years, this
factionalism has brought them face to face
with peril. They are choosing between
hanging together. or hanging separately"
The democrats of the state have some in
f1uential men in their ranks, and they, after
party division growing out of Bryanism
have been getting together Gold men and
silver men show disposition to cut Bryan
ism out of the campaign and work earnestly
for success on local lines. The position of
Col. Villas Illustrates this. He has taken no
interest In politics since Mr. Bryan cap
tured his party's national organization until
now. But he is active at present, and Is
even being discussed in connection with the
democratic nomination for governor.
But alrs we'll that ends well. Whatever
the real cause was, the republican agree
ment reached is a good thing. Mr. Spoon
er's return to the Senate is very generally
desired by his party all over the country
He has performed some valuable public SER
vices as senator, and is IN the prime of his
superior powers. Whether as lawyer help
ing to draft legislation, or as debater meet
ing with ease the strong men of the oppo-
sition, he has impressed himself on the
times, and his public career could not end
now without serious loss to his party In
the case of Governor Lafollette the people
of Wisconsin have felt the force of a cour-
ageous personality, and one good term, like
one good turn, deserves another

"Don't Talk to the Motorman. -

In the old days of cable roads signs were
prominently hung in the grip cars warning
passengers not to talk to the gripmen.
These warnings were later in some in
stances repeated when the grip cars gave
way to motors and the gripmen were sue
ceeded by motormen. The responsibility
was the same, whatever the form of motive
power This rule is generally observed.
OFTEN the space reserved for the operator
Is enclosed so that passengers cannot come
in contact with the man at the controller
but as the traffic pressure increases be-
yond the increase of accommodat tions these
spaces are thrown open and the motorman
Is hedged about with passengers, who too
frequently forget that their own safety de-
mands that the operator be left strictly to
himself, without Interruptions of any sort.
Yesterday motorman on Norfolk cleo
trio line himself disobeyed the salutary
rule of silence and engaged in conversa-
tion with a young woman, his car being
crowded. Thus occupied, he failed to no
tice a signal which commanded him to
enter switch to give way for an ap-
preaching car, and so rushed his own car
into collision with the other with horrible
results. He was himself killed, as were
several others Such terrible lesson may
perhaps enforce it's meaning upon both en-
ployes and public. Modern street railroad
ing has become so dangerous not only to
passengers but to pedestrians, even under
the most reliable safeguards, that there
should be the most stringent discipline in
all matters which affect the reliability of
the man in whose charge are hourly placed
scores and hundreds of lives.

Child Labor in the South.


From the New Orleans Times Democrat
With the industrial quickening that has
recently marked the life of this section has
dren to perform the work of adults. Results
OF this system are already sufficiently in
furious to awaken the condemnation Of all
rfght-thinking men and all right thinking
women OF the southern states. 1t is, indeed
a cruelty whereby the helpless are forced
to perform labor far beyond either their
mental or physical capacity 1t is an in
jury innicted by the grasping few, in their
effort to lower the wages of the MANY who
are capable and sufficiently numerous to
perform the work. From every point of
view, child labor Is ethically wrong and
financially unwise. There can be Invented
no excuse by which 1t can be justified. II
Is relic, and not the only one, Of mediaeyaI
methods and medieval morals. In the
twentieth century child labor is an anach-
ronism. Every dollar earned by 1t is ..blood
money" Away with the system, and away
with 1t at once!

The Porte Paws.

An annoying source of diplomatic friction
has Just been removed through the official
announcement that Turkey is ready to
by the United States. These claims have
been pending for many months, some OF
them for years They have proved a fruit
ful cause of misunderstanding and embar-
rt5sment and have led to much popular
feeling III this country against Turkey
They Were the more annoying because they
were not sufficient at any. time to warrant
tHe interposition of force to bring the porte
To terms. The attitude OF the sultan to-
ward the case of Miss Stone heightened the
Impression here that he was willing to dis
tress this country, but now it appears that
ne has been working with Ottoman indi-
rectness toward the end which the United
States has sought steadfastly for many
seasons. The United States owed obliga-
'tons 10 other than the porte's American

 Prescott Prospect; The Prospect is reliably informed that both the drifts from the 100-foot level of the Mohawk mine. Tom Roache's old property, but now owned by the Mohawk Mining Company, are in solid high grade ore. This is indeed encouraging for Prescott, for the people behind the Mohawk have got the means; and to en- counter large bodies of ore at this stage of development will surely bring, and that speedily, another producer to the credit of Yavapai county.
 Prescott Prospect: The King runs parallel with and adjoining the famous Empire mine on Groom creek. In fact the stamp mill and cyanide plant of the Empire Com pany is located on the King Kelly ground. This is patented mine and is owned by T. C. Nolan of Denver, Colo, and his son, T. c. Nolan Jr., who is in charge of the Nolan properties Other mines belonging to Messrs.
