CHILD HAROE.

One Of the results of the Investigation Of coal
mining in Pennsylvania will probably be the
passage Of law raising the age limit Tor the
employment Of little men and women in every
Industry In that State. The mine employers
themselves are in favor Of such change, but
Pennsylvania is by no means the only common
wealth Of the Union in which better laws should
be enacted for the regulation Of the employ
ment of boys and girls too young for hard work.
IN many State the cry Of the children Ii an
exceeding bitter cry.
The Empire State itself is not free from re-
proach in this matter. In this city and in other
cities between Long Island and Lake Erie there
are too many mere children employed as mes
sengers who are too often sent out on calls at
any hour day or night, which take them to re-
sorts of the vicious and criminal classes. Some.
thing should be done, and done promptly, to cor.
rect this inexcusable wrong.

4 COMPLETE SURRENDER.

The fight on the part Of organized labor
against the National Guard which has been
carried on at Schenectady Is over and the union
has been defeated. William Potter, Journey
man painter, to whom the painters union de-
1ied the privilege to work as q union man
unless he withdrew from the National Guard,
viii be restored to full membership and the
men who decided the weighty matter. rep
resentatives Of several trade organizations,
graciously gave their consent to bis remaining
In the National Guard. They made it clear
that they have not changed their views as to
the Guards being no place for union man.
They still maintain that a union man cannot
BE- true to bis obligations as such and at the
same time serve his State as a guardian and
protector in time Of riot or invasion by for
eign enemy. They have not withdrawn from
the position which they took when Potter was
marked for degradation because In the dis
charge Of his duties as National Guardsman,
ne took part In maintaining order against
peaceful" strikers. The painters union and
other trade organizations are still opposed to
the National Guard, but they surrender this
time because "'the Potter case has injured the
organization more than anything that could
shave happened and ii must be settled" Hav-
lag this point in mind, the painters union also
asked that the matter be kept out OF the news
papers,"
When the fight WIS begun, when the firm
which gave the painter National Guardsman
work refused TO discharge him, the union was
loud in its boasts Of what e would do to show
its strength Later, when there wee no signs
OF yielding by Potter's employers other unions
combined with the painters and by concerted
sction hoped TO cripple the building industry
Of Schenectady by ordering a general strike.
But the fight has been given up ana for the
present the atmosphere Is clear, With no labor
Eform visible.
The situation must be relief to the COM
muEity. but the surrender Of the labor organi-
zationt does nothing to remove the feeling OF
indignation which their unpatri0tic position in

AMERICA THE CRADLE OF ASIA.

Professor Stewart Culin, the well known Phil.
adelphia ethnologist, is not a believer In the
theory that all Of Americas prehistoric civiliza-
ton was derived from Asia. In "Harpers
Monthly" for March he presents some Of the
evidence which leads him to think that many
of the customs common to localities In both OF
these great geographical divisions originated in
what is perhaps enormously called the New
World. Divination and gambling with thin
sticks, like split arrows, which were decorated
and arranged in suits Of nine. are among these
practices. Incidentally, 1t is suggested that
clew is thus afforded to the origin Of European
playing cards. A kindred illustration is the use
of the split arrow as visiting card. Games in
which two sided wooden dice are employed and
in which counting is done on a circular or cross
shaped diagram, constitute a third group Of in
stances. Finally mention Is made Of sports
and ceremonies in which darts are thrown at
rolling hoop that has a spider web or netting
on it.
The matter Is not discussed at sufficient
length to be altogether convincing Professor
Culin does not give the full fruit Of his own ex-
tensive Investigations One or two Of the cases
which he CITES such as the Aztec game of pa
tolli, have been used as arguments in support
of views Numerically opposed to his own.
Nor does he clear up such puzzles as the exist

that has not yet been found here unwrought.
Much uncertainty remains. too about the rela-
tive age of the American and Asiatic usages
which he cites. If there were any definite
chronology. so that comparison could be made
as with the Babylonian and Hebrew legends
one might be able TO say with less hesitation
which was parent and which was child.
It must be conceded that the time has not
arrived for reaching satisfactory conclusions in
regard to the origin of American civilization
More headway has been made In that direction
than toward a decision about mans antiquity
on this continent. but concerning both the
wisest scholars are still good deal in the dark
Some day discoveries may be made which will
hx approximately the time when the human
race made It's first appearance In America. II
it shall then appear probable that the develop
ment was practically cotemporaneous with the
earliest traces of primitive man in Europe and
Asia, the case for an independent evolution OF
civilization would be greatly strengthened. At
present the preponderance Of testimony is In
favor Of the view that both the stock and the
culture were imported from Asia. Since the
world is not yet In position tc pass Judgment
It Is not unreasonable to sympathtze with Pro-
fessor Culins notions. especially since he puts
them guardediy. He does not 60 so far as TO
