The Southern people, manufacturers as
child labor. 1t has grown up gradually
and the responsibility rests upon par
ents and people as we'll as upon mill
owners. 1t will be stopped To doubt
that is to doubt the spirit of humanity
that animates Southern people But 1t
will not be ended by the lectures OF out
siders. The evil is one that has always
been connected everywhere with the be-
ginning OF the textile industry. New
England has reached the stage when child
labor is lot permitted. But 1t employed
children in the mills in the early years
of mill development and has no right, as
Vance woull put it. now ito sing the
lcng metre doxology through their noses
and thank God that they are better than
other people" as they did in the matter
of slavery. They never got rid of their
slaves by selling them to the South un-
iii they were driven to do so by public
sentiment and because slavery became
unpopular in that climate.
The Brooklyn Eagle, which always has
broad horizon, understands the situa-
ton when it says:
THE evils in child labor in the South
will be reformed by setting in motion
Southern opinion through Southern peo-
pie against 1t. Denunciatory Northern
opinion will not avail. The South knows
the New England disposition of hostility
to remote wrongs and of prodigious con-
Germ touching the evils of other people.
And the South resents 1T.
The South -esents the air assumed by
any outsiders who think themselves able
to tell everybody else except themselves
how TO ref ,rm. The Manufacturer Rec
ord and some Southern papers. however,
mistake the temper of the South il they
suppose that hypocritical spirit in New
England can be used to deter the South
from doing its plain duty. The South
crn people themselves have been the hrst
TO see the evils of child labor in their
factories. They will stop it, not at the
bchcst of those who are always ready TO
lecture the South while forgetting the
LEAN in their own eye. but in spite OF
their exaggerated stories and unsolicited
interference. 1t will be stopped because
il is wrong TO continue it. and from no
other consideration. Those papers that
think TO defer it by declaring that the
agitation is born of New England jealousy
do not understand the best Southern SEN
tlment. New England cannot drive them
from this duty by a frenzied zeal. and
appeals to prejudice against such inter-
ference cannot change the determination
of the South to put an end to child labor.
Justice and humanity demand it and the
South will be true to their demands.

THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL.
Few People Know How Useful 1t is IL
Preserving Health and Beauty.

Few People Know How Usetul IL is III
Preserving Health and Beauty.
Nearly everybody knows that charcoal
is the safest and most efficient dsinfect-
ant and purifier in nature, but few realize
it's value when taken into the human sys-
tenn for the same cleansing purpose.
Charcoal is a remedy that the more you
take of it the better; it is not drug at
all, but simply absorbs the gases and i'm
purities always present in the stomach
and intestines and carries them out OF
the system.
Charcoal sweetens the breath after
smoking, drinking or after eating onions
and other odorous vegetables.
Charcoal effectually clears and I'M
proves the complexion, it whitens the
teeth and further acts as a natural and
eminently safe cathartic.
1t absorbs the injurious gases which
collect in the stomach and bowels; 1t
disinfects the mouth and throat from the
poison of catarrh.
All druggists sell charcoal in one form
or another, but probably the best char
coal and the most for the money is in
Stuarts Absorbent Lozenges; they are
composed of the finest powdered willow
charcoal and other harmless antiseptics
in tablet form or rather in the form OF
large. pleasant tasting lozenges, the char
coal being mixed with honey.
The daily use of these lozenges will
soon tell in a much improved condition
of the general health, better complexion,
sweeter breath and purer blood, and the
beauty of it is, that no possible harm can
result from their continued use, but on
the contrary, great benefit.
A Buffalo physician in speaking of the
benefits of charcoal, says: Il advise
Stuart's Absorbent Lozenges to all pa
tients suffering from gas in stomach and
bowels, and to clear the complexion and
purify the breath, mouth and throat; |
also believe the liver is greatly benefited
by the daily use of them; they cost but
twenty-five cents a box at drug stores,
and although in some sense a patent prep
aratfon yet l believe | get a better
charcoal in Stuart's Absorbent Lozcnges
than in any Of the ordinary charcoal
tablets"

REPRESENTATION NORTON SOUNDS SLOGAN
FOR THE COMING DEMOCRATIC CAMPAIGN
Declares That The Psogy

Not since the Democrats obtained con-
troll OF the House of Representatives after
the civil war has such an opportunity
presented itself to US to win out in the
coming Congressional elections" said
Representative Norton OF Ohio last night.
From the opening of this Congress the
Republicans have done nothing but play
into our hands. For once the magnificent
organization Of the Republican party has
shown unmistakable signs of disintegra-
ton. 1t no longer presents solid front:
The leaders are like a ship at sea
without a compass. Already they can hear
the rumbling of discomfort among their
followers. In the West the people are
crying out for relief from the trusts that
daily fatten and prosper under the Dingley
tariff, and in the East the ultra protec-
tionists have issued their edict that there
must be no tariff revision.
From the Gem of the Antilles comes
the pleading voice for redemption OF the
late President McKinlcy's generous prom
Use. And how do the majority respond to
that wall for promised succor? Why, by
a tentative proposition that II our immi-
grafton laws are adopted we may con-
slider a reciprocal trade agreement pro-
vided 1t is approved by the trusts.
The Republicans are now asserting
that we are under no moral obligation to
do anything for Cuba; that II Cuba wants
anything from US let her ask to be ad-
mitted as Territory. That is carrying
out President McKinley's proclamation.

OFFICIAL PRECEDENCE
AGAIN IN DISPUTE
Ambassadors Angry Over Ac-
ton of Supreme Court.
THE ORDER AT HOUSE FRIDAY
Claims of Senators and Representatives
Possible That Commission May Be
Appointed to Dehnately Fix the Order
of Precedence.

The fact that the members OF the Su
preme Court of the United States filed
into the House of Representatives Friday
ahead of the foreign ambassadors and
seated themselves in the row of seats in
front OF them has served to call atten-
ton once more to the much discussed
question of precedence in official functions.
Some, if not all, of the ambassadors are
angry, and 1t is probable that they. will
appeal to the President or Secretary Of
State to definitely fix the order of prece-
dence
Time and time again attempts have
been made to lay down a rule TO be fol-
lowed. but every effort has met with fail
ure because of the conflicting views of
those who have their own personal ideas
of how these matters of etiquette should
be arranged.
Vice President Hobart stood on his
rights and fixed forever the status OF the
man who should hold the Office he then
held. The Speaker of the House of Rep
resentatives has asserted his rights on
various occasions with more or less sue
cess.
Senate and Cabinet.
There have been conflicts between the
Senate and the Cabinet also, but no steps
have ever been taken to determine official
ly which should outrank the other. The
wives OF Cabinet officers. however, must
call first upon Senators wives.
The members of the Supreme Court have
been most tenacious in the opinion which
they hold. that they should outrank Am
bassadors. but those who are deeply in
terested in having this question settled
for the sake of the dignity of the Gov
eminent on state occasions hold that
there is no question whatever that for
eign ambassadors representing their SOW
ereigns should rank next in order with
the Vice President of the United States,
and that 1t is nothing less than an act
Of disconrtesy to place them elsewhere.
A Commission Possible.
1t is probable that a movement will be
made to have commission appointed to
take up this question and settle it so that
ii will not be a cause of controversy here
after.
1t is very simple matter to determine.
and 1t has been fixed on more than one
occasion. The trouble is 1t will not stay
fixed. because whatever arrangement has
been made at one time or another has
never received official sanction.
public official who has devoted con-
thought to this subject says that
according to all rules of etiquette OBJ
served by foreign Governments, and
which should be observed here according
to the arrangement of our official ma
the order of precedence should be
as follows:
The President, Vice President Ambas-
sailors, Chief Justice of the United States
Supreme Court, President of the Senate.
Speaker of the House of Representatives
justices OF the Supreme Court. members
of the Cabinet, foreign Ministers, Senate,

Many people become coffee topers be-

If thus described even by close friend.
1t will pay anyone to examine care
fully into whether or not coffee has

topper may suspect that his or her ails

they realize that it would be practically
impossible to give up coffee, so they
hope against hope that il does not hurt
them, but it goes on with its work lust
the same and the result is complete col

sometimes for years, unless the poison
that causes the disease is discontinued.

the country. Free coinage and imperial
ism. no matter how right, have had their

these Issues any more.
Economy in the administration of the
Government: tariff revision as outlined in
McKinley's Buffalo speech; an honest
civil service, and an enforcement OF the
antitrust laws-these are the issues that
must be met, and the Republicans cannot
escape them If we do our plain duty.
And with these issues before the peo-
pie we will carry the country this fall
