CHILDREN IN THE NEWS.

Readers of the newspapers must have
been struck during the recent past by
the frequency with which children have
appeared in the dispatches as principals
in crimes and casualties. Boys of nine
to eighteen years have shot and killed
their companions, school girls no old
er have disappeared from home, both
boys and girls have committed suicide
or attempted to do sos two boys of ten
der years have robbed the mails and
been arraigned in a United States court,
an eighteen-year- boy in Louisiana
attempted one of the worst crimes in
the catalogue and was lynched. In
almost every days papers there is some
record of crime committed or attempt
ed by a youth, male or female. The
record is distressing. 1t leads the
thoughtful person to wonder whether
this precocity in crime indicates
growing native depravity.
In many cities, probably in all of
them, the street corner and vacant
lot gangs of boys are primary schools
of crime and vice. The gangs gather
afternoons and evenings and at night
1t is the first ambition of the boy of
the gang to learn to swear, then to
carry a pistol. Then, step by step, the
various vices are acquired. 1t is prob
ably risking little to say that eight
out of ten of the boys to be found in
gangs on the streets or In vacant lots
at night have pistols or knives or
brass "knucks" in their pockets. They
go about prepared for trouble" and
they frequently find it. In these gangs
the boys acquire vices that wreck their
lives or tastes that lead them to GRIM
inality-sometimes both. Nor is 1.-The
gang" peculiar to youth of either color.
Both colors are addicted to these clan
nish and dangerous gatherings.
We are inclined towards optimism;
to the belief that the world is grow
ing better all the time. But we are
forced to confess to a depression of
spirits when we see the criminal news
filled with the doings of children whose
tender years should be a guaranty of
lack of evil disposition. A magazine
writer recently based an article on the
| disappearance of the line of demarka-
ton between youth and maturity in
| criminality. Murders and robberies are
committed by children as we'll as by
adults Age does not amount to as
much as it used to. The precocity of
youth demands that maturity in world
ly things shall come at fifteen. Is
there not a great responsibility rest
ing on parents, that they shall en-
! deavor to keep their children Chill
dren" until they have arrived at the
years of discretion?

-S-~-S
CURRENT COMMENT.

The Galveston News (Dem.) says:
There will be much criticism of the
administration because of it's hasty
recollection of the manner in which
Colombia treated our proposition in
regard to the building of the canal.
No one doubts the fact that the
treaty for building the waterway
would be ratified according to the
terms contracted in it. 1t looks as
if this were a case where a hand was
overplayed."
The Cleveland (O) Plain Dealer
(Dem.) says: 1.-THE overtures for re-
Cancellation are a tardy admission that
Colombia has overreached herself and
lost the game. She seems to think
that the reunited family would be
strong enough to start another and
continue the hold up policy that has
failed so completely. The new Pan
anna government will probably en-
tighten her on this point. The revo-
lutionists are hardly more likely than
others to give something for moth
ing"
The Philadelphia Record Dem.)
says: Great as may be the CONNER
cial, economical and military signifi-
canoe of the Penama canal, it is not
great enough 70 Justify a fragrant
breach of the laws OF Mates. The
Democrats will be told that the Amer
lean people are crying for this canal,
and that if they shall oppose the poll
icy of the administration on the 18TH
mus they will be at war with popular
tendencies. But the Democratic party
which has resisted the moves of i'm
perialism when at the highest, will
not be deferred by pleas Of this kind
from the performance of a patriotic
duty. The Democratic party has not
made this issue or violated public
law, and will not shrink from what
ever may be necessary to assert the
principles upon which this government
is founded"

Ex-Queen I.iliuokalani of Hawaii is
again on her way to Washington. to
endeavor to convince the government
that 1t has used her badly and ought
TO pay her for the confiscated crown
lands. The Queen is evidently in the
enjoyment Of a pretty comfortable in

many trips Of thousands of miles, with
an extensive encourage. in pursuit Of
a forlorn hope. Her claim may be
founded on right and justice. but it
is worth less than United States Steel

DR.. e. Benjamin Andrews, presl-
dent of the University of Nebraska,
is of the opinion that business hon
or" is growing rare in the United
States. That probably depends upon
the application of the observation. If
private enterprises and individual mer-
chants are considered, we are of the
opinion that as high an order of bust
ness honor will be found now as at
any time heretofore. But when it
comes to the trusts and the manipu-
lation of great corporations. there may
be a good deal of truth in what DR..
Andrews says. No one will for a mo-
ment contend that there was any such
thing as business honor to be found
in the manipulation of the shipbuild-
ing trust, as exposed by the recent
hearings. From first to last is seems
to have been skin game"

REMOVING GARBAGE PLANT
TO COUNTY NOT THOUGHT OF.
Improvements Sets at Rest Sus-
pfcions of n County Paper.

President Phillips Of the Board of Public
Improvements expressed himself as being
surprised yesterday at an article which APP
of July II, relative to the removal of the
municipal garbage plant outside the city
limits.
He said that the board had not officially
taken up the matter yet, but in informal
talks the idea of placing the plant in ST..
Louis County has not been thought of, and
he stated positively that 1t would not be.
The Argus's statement of the conditions
of the present garbage works is in itself the
best possible argument for its speedy re-
moval. In part it is as follows:
Mayor Rolla Wells of St Louis is said
to be agitating the question of removing the
city's garbage plant outside the city limits
and establishing it at some convenient point
out in the county. The plant is at present
situated on the river front in South ST.
Louis, near the Workhouse.
THE stencil and odor of burning refuse
and decayed animals is said to be a serious
menace to the health of the community in
which the plant is situated. For this rea-
son. it is said, the Mayor wants to put 1t
where it will not stink St. Louis, but will
stink the county.
Only faint idea can be had by those
who are not familiar with the handling of
garbage in a city the size of St Louis of
the real meaning and extent of damage to
the county that would result by the placing
of the plant on county soil The amount
OF filth. diseaSe-breeding rubbish and dead
animals carted to the plant and consumed
daily is something terrific.

WALDEN STOUILY DENIES
HIGHWAY ROBBERY CHARGE.
Tells Chief Desmond He Will Be Able
to Prove His Innocence at
the Proper Time.

To Chief of Detectives Desmond and his
piled the prisoner with numerous questions
yesterday. Homer V. Walden, who was ar
rested Sunday night on charges OF highway
robbery. stoutiy denied that he is the lone
highwayman or has had anything to do
with the recent robberies.
Il tell you, Chief. you are mistaken this
time said Walden to Desmond. Il have
often heard of your sweating powers and
respect you as a great detective. but L
have nothing to confess. so you will see it
is useless for YOU to question me further.
II was at home when these men say
they were robbed and l know nothing about
the cases II makes no matter how posi-
tive they are in identifying me. they are
mistaken, that's all. and it will be proven
at the proper time
Chief Desmond was undecided last night
what to think of the case.
In the face of the positive statements
OF Ayers, Moore and the other men who
were held up that this is the robber. | must
believe that Walden is the man. said
Chief Desmond. However. there is always
a chance of mistake being made and We
will proceed carefully.
We thought that the man who commit
ted all the robberies was the murderer of
Tom Cox, because all the descriptions were
the same. / have not received a full report
from my men who are working on the Cox
case consequently l am not prepared to
tackle Walden on that proposition. II he
denies the robberies it is sure that he will
of Cox, SO l see little chance of clearing
up that mystery through him.

CHICAGO REALTY DEALERS
PRAISE THE WORLDS FAIR.
Bulletin and Resolutions Sent to st
Louis Real Estate Exchange
by Recent Visitors.

In an official report to the Chicago Real
Estate Board a committee of that institu-
ton, the members of which recently visited
S. Louis, declares that the Worlds Fair
will greatly excel the Columbian EXPOSE
ton of 1888.
A copy Of the report contained in the
call Board Bulletin" issued by the Chi
cago Board, was received at the St Louis
Real Estate Exchange yesterday. 1t says,
in part:
Your special committee on examination
of the Cascades and adjacent heights
which we inspected on foot. beg leave to
report that from the superb view at Festi-
val Hall on top of the heights, as well as
at the lower level from a central point in
the Grand avenue, on all sides of which are
clustered the main buildings of the Worlds
Fair, we were fully impressed that the
Louisiana Exposition of 1904 at St Louis
would excel the Columbian Exposition OF
1893 at Chicago, in size of grounds and
buildings, and the grandeur thereof and
especially in the effects of the elaborate
cascades and basins and in the proposed
electric illumination.
The wel-adranced stage of construction
not only confirms those impressions, but
assures the probability of great success to
the enterprise.
A set of resolutions, handsomely framed.
were received by the local exchange from
the Chicago Real Estate Board, the sub
ject being the recent visit to ST. Louis.
After expressing thanks for the entertain-
ment in st. Louis, the resolution states that
the Chicago men appreciate the value of
intercourse with brother real estate men
in the neighboring city, An invitation TO
the st. Louis Exchange to visit Chicago is
extended
There is one thing sure" says the bulle-
tin, hereafter there will be but one senti-
ment between the two great cities of the

Peace in Maplewood. was held for the
