DANGERS OF THE REPUBLIC.

| The venerabl James N. Reagan of
Texas has expressed the fear that the
republic of the United States "is drift
| ing rapidly into a monarchial form OF
government" He says we are gov
erned not by men but money, And
the end, he thinks, Is only a question
| Of time.
PeSSlmiStic?
1t is also ra Their sophomore.
The sophomore is accustomed to tell
you in impassioned periods that Rome
fell and the cause of her downfall
operate here. He believes it. He
has studied historical parallels. Later
he learns better. He has studied the
people.
One can easily brighten ones self
in recounting the dangers to the re-
public. Wealth is arrogant and
Haunting as in the later days of the
Roman state. Competition is being
stihed. The small business is crowd
ed out. Men are exchanging business
independence for commercial serfdon.
There's venal politics. And class
legislation. And corruption. But
The great mass of the people are
interrupted. They are careless, often,
of their political rights. And above all
they are patient He who tells them
to- "stand pat" knows them. They
are slow to move. They will submit to
be robbed by their servants some
times, preferable to organizing a hue
and cry. Nevertheless
There comes a time when the
aroused people will cry, Halt"
And when they cry Halt evil ten
denotes are checked or destroyed. it
need no revolution.
The people are coming to see things
that make for evil. They are opening
their eyes to the things that menace
public security, and when they are
fully awake they will rise and smash
these things!
They will not smash their govern
ment. It belongs to them. Bad as 1t
may be, it is the best there is on earth.
They love it. 1t has been constituted
by the toll of the wise and the blood
of the brave: Theyy--1Will not slnash.#1t.
But they will. smash its: enemies.
| It is well enough Ito he warned by
the cries Of the fearful ones like Mr..
Reagan, but there need be no serious
apprehension. The government Of the
people, by the people and for the ,peo-
pie shall not perish from the earth.
AS Lincoln. has said:
1.-The people-the people will wabble
right.

NOTES AND COMMENT.

A useful little appliance, called the
flngerette,' has lately been patented
and introduced in Edinburgh, Scot
land. 1t Is intended for use by those
who handle books or papers in any
way, and consists Of an iodiaruhhe,.
thimble with prepared surface that
clings to paper surfaces with much
greater tenacity than the naked finger.
and thus facilitates the turning over
or counting or separate sheets, while
it obviates the somewhat Disgusting
and dangerous practice of licking the
finger.

CHILD LABOR. IN PENNSYLVANIA

S1lEO ;IA6Oh lN PENNSYLVANIA.
- .r,hotsa nds: q 81 boys and girls will be
taken from the. loom and tie . work =
bench ana sent to school as the result
of a movement begun under the super
vision of the state, says the Philadel-
phia Press.
Every child applying for. work here
after will be obliged to present birth
or baptisnhal certificate as proof that
he or she is more than 10 years old.
This effectually puts a stop to the &C.
ton. OF parents, who frequently per-
jure themselves to- get the benefit Of
their cildren's earnings.
The eradiction Of the evils of the
child labor system is the object aimed
at, and it is hoped to remove Pennsyl-
vania from her unenviable position as
leader of the states in. which children
OF tender age spend in labor the time
that should be devoted to their educa-
ton.
Under the new system the certificates
must be deposited with the employer,
who is. required to produce one for
each child worker in his establishment
Failure to comply with this REQUIRE
ment will be followed by the prosecu-
tlon Of the, employer and the removal
OF the MISUNDERSTANDING.

HAMILTON | D NEWSPAPER / D
SECURES AID OF Law
JUDGE 9ELDEN RECOGNIZES NO
LIMIT TO lNJuNcTloNs..
Typographical Union. Restrained From
Interfering With Newspapers Bust
ness and Publishing ,"Unfair List,.
$55,o00' Damage Suit Pending.

Judge Belden of Hamilton, Ohio, on
Tuesday last granted a most sweeping
injunction to the Republican Publish
ing company, publishers Of the Daily
Republican-News, against Hamilton
Typographical Union No. 80, the Ham,
ilton Trade and Labor Council, the
Nonpareil Printing company and the
individual members of each. The Or
der forbids every union man in the
city from taking part in a boycott
against the Republican-News or any
OF It's advertisers or patrons and re-
strains the, publication of I'm unfair
list against the paper.
The courts order says that under
the bill of rights any company can con-
duct its business and employ Whomso-
ever 1t will without interference Of
any sort. The court especially ordered
all efforts to interfere with the execu-
ton of contracts held by the plaintiff
stopped. IS,
In the opinion of lawyers Judge Bel
denis order is one of the most far
reaching ever granted in a labor case.
The court not only granted every
prayer Of the complainant, but init
mated that he would have made even
more radical orders had they been
asked.
The injunction as it now Stands for
bids any member Of the Trade and
Labor Council, which embraces every
union man in the city, from doing any
act of interference with the plaintiff S
business. The Butler County Press,
the local labor organ, owned by the
Nonpareil Printing company, cannot
continue the publication of the Repub-
lican Publishing company as unfair"
The committees Of the Trade and La
Dor Council, which have been calling
upon merchants, requesting them to
cease advertising in the Republican,
News, will be in contempt of court if
they even ask q merchant to stop his
advertising. Pcketing Of the COM
p1ainant's place or of the places OF
business of any of it's advertisers is
specially forbidden.
In his opinion Judge Blenden said
that, while it was urged that freedom
of speech and freedom Of the press
must not be intefered with, there is
a point at which such freedom became
unlawful license. The point was reach
ed; he said, when efforts were publicly
made to violate the sacredness Of con-
tract Of the right of any person or cor
poration to conduct it's business in it's
own way and to employ any one who
wished work.
Numerous authorities were cited In
support of every finding of the court.
The Republican Publishing company is
prosecuting actions for $4,000 dam
ages against the unions and their in
dividual members.

GOSSIP CONCERNING CONFERENCE
Academy Debt Now $4,000 Needs to Be
misunderstanding Elder Rooms NAV
be fiOnOred at the Next Session.

The debt on the Wilmington Con.
ference Academy, upon which over
SSo'OOO was raised by the Methodist
cnurchmen of this Peninsula. in re-
Spohse to one appeal from the vii
lnlngton annual conference. has now
oeen reduced to about SIP. 600. This
amount IS considered only trife in
com parlson to the burden of debt
which this big Methodist school has
carried all these years, and an effort
VIII be made at the coming session of
the conference in Dover to raise the
residue and burn all the interest
bearing paper which has distressed the
institution.
Another matter of great interest be-
lore the Dover conferences next winter
Will be the choosing of eight dele
gates, each of which will take the tr1n
OF life time. The next general con-
terence of the Methodist EPISCOPAL
Ohurch will meet at Los Angeles.
California, and will be in session dnr-
ing the charming month of Nav in
that beautiful Pacific Slope citv.
Already both laymen and ministers
are agitated over these delegate
places. The four present presiding
elders, Robert Watt of Wilmington,
William q. Rooms of Easton. G. &
Baker of Dover and Adam Stengle of
salisbury, are most prominently
spoken OF as the ministerial delegates
although there is feeling that min
listers from the ranks should be Sc.
ieeted, the elders having already been
hlghly honored. Others suggested a
compromise by the selection of two
ministers from the ranks and Presid-
ing Elders Koons and Stengle. who
nave never been to general conference
and who have both made deep i'm
presslons upon the churchmen of
thelr districts, Mr.. Koons by his deep
plety and enthusiastic work, and Mr.. |
otengle by his fine preaching.
