true interests of workngmen he refused to
be guided by Il, for all his acts were calcu-
lated to make enemies of those who should
be friends and to injure workingmen by
putting them in a bad light before the pub
lie. When he was indicted for blackmaii-
ing employers whose employees he had or
dered out on strike upon pretexts worked
up by himself. he assumed very DEFIANT
attitude and denied that he was amenaoie
TO the law for his acts as labor leader.
The court took different view, and as the
evidence against him was conclusive ne
was convicted and sent to the penitentiary
If he lives to serve out this sentence he
will have to answer several other charges
of the same kind against him.
John Mitchell is the very opposite OF sam
Parks in his views regarding the relations
of capital and labor. the methods Of dealing
with labor disputes and the ethics of strikes.
He believes that capital and labor should
be friends instead of enemies, and that they
should cultivate peace instead OF war lie
believes that labor disputes can generally
be settled by Cancellation and arbitration,
and that strikes are only justifable as
last resort. AS TO his ordering strike as
a meaps of extorting money or taking
bride under any circumstances, one would
as soon suspect Theodore Roosevelt or op-
tanning money under false pretenses. Parks
was for industrial war, while Mitchell Is
for industrial peace. In the preface TO his
Forthcoming book he says: II wish to see
the interests and ideals of labor and capital
fairly reconciled, not by surrender, but ny
mutual understanding, and to see the rights
and responsibilities of all parties, the work
ingman the employer, and the public, clear
ly, completely and Enthusiastically recog-
nized" AS far as the record shows. every
act of Parks has tended to lower union
labor in public estimation, while every act
of Mitchell has tended to raise it. 1t is to
be hoped the Parks school of labor leaders
may soon become extinct.

DREAM OF SOCIALISM.

Never was there given better illustra-
ton of the touch of dreaminess in the
German character, which forms the lead
much of the best German literature, than
in the attitude of Herr Bebel, the old and
radical leader of the Socialist party, which
made such heavy gains in the recent Ger
man elections, bringing it up next to the
Catholic or Center party in numerical
strength in the Reichstag. The party is
soon to hold national convention, and
the great question before it is whether it
shall accept vice presidency in the Reich
stag and thus nominally participate in the
as opposed to the whole present form and
purpose of the German government and use
it's strength wholly in obstructing govern
ment measures.
The rapid growth of the party has
brought in a younger and more moderate
element in favor of an opportunist policy
There are questions of Importance for the
economic betterment of the German EN-
pire In which they want free hand,
though it is not likely that the question
before the convention will be put in that
way. Herr Bebel declares fatty that no
man can lie a true Socialist and bow to
the Emperor, congratulate him on certain
state occasions and do other acts of al
legiance required of a vice president, and
on this sentimental phase of the question
the proposition is likely TO be fought out.
The old leaders of German socialism have
dreamed for years of overturning the i'm
perial throne in some indefinite way and
ushering in state that will be founded
on theories of pure socialism. but the very
growth of their party is making the dream
impossible, for with its growth it is grad
ually developing into a party more dis
posed 10 accept things as they are and
work for a gradual change in the direc-
ton of democracy.

MINERS AND CHILD LABOR.

The award in the Alabama mines arbi-
tration well illustrates the good that can
be accomplished at times by labor organi-
cations conducted along reasonable lines.
Not only was a scale of wages more in
harmony with wages in other fields estab-
lished, but big point for humanity was
gained i'm the agreement to eliminate child
labor in the mines. 1t was one of the chief
contentious of the employees that no child
under fourteen years of age should be put
to work, and in this they were wholly sue
cessful. This may be regarded as the first
ray of a better light OH this subject
throughout the South.
While the abolition OF child labor in fac
tories and mines was long ago accom-
plished throughout the North. in the South
the evil has grown with the same rapid
strides that have marked the growth of
Southern industry in all lines, though the
owners of cotton mills are the worst offen-
ders in this direction. There is much work
about a textile mill that can be done by
childish hands, and neither the managers
of the mills nor the parents of the children
seem to have much conscience in the mat
ter. Indeed, since education boards, labor
unions and humanitarians have taken up
the agitation there have been frequent
speeches on public occasions ard articles
in leading Southern journals by prominent
men in defense of the practice, all of them
taking practically the same ground that it
is better for the child to be employed than
to run at large, and that, anyway, the
managers of the mills and the parents of
the children are the only ones concerned in
the matter.
All this is old straw that has been
threshed over and over again in every
Northern State while laws prohibiting child
labor were in process of agitation and en-
actment, but the weight of public opinion
has always been for sending the child to
school and reserving it's physical strength
for the real struggle of life, which comes
soon enough. The victory gained by the
miners is the first substantial gain that has
been made i'm this fight in the South, and
the Journal takes pleasure in congratulate
ing them.

strain that may come upon the money

enhance the public estimate of him in this

about 100000 which can be deposited in

effect, and the fact that he has the money

probably insure reasonable money rates

Almost simultaneously with the convic-
tion aud sentence of Sam Parks to Sing
Sing prison for receiving brides and ex-
torting money as a business agent of a
labor union in New York comes an advance
notice of a book soon TO be published by
John Mitchell. president of the United Mine
Workers. Workipgmen and students of the
labor question can find something to think
about in the contrast afforded by the char
acters and acts of these two labor leaders.
One is a survival of the old school, which
held that capital and labor are natural
enemies and that their normal condition is
one Of mutual suspicion, oppression and ex-
action. while the other represents the trend
of modern progress towards identity of in
terests between employers and employees
and towards Cancellation and arbitration as
the best means of settling all labor dis
putes. Parks a believer in strikes both
as a means OF coercing employers and of
extorting money. He was constantly on the
hunt for pretexts for strikes. So far from
believing in avoiding or adjusting labor dis
in order To cause strikes which would en-
able him to extort money from employers.
II he had any proper conception OF the true
relations between capital and labor and the

not written for persons with weak nerves,

as weird as anything Poe ever wrote when

The story of the love of Mongolian
chief, The Tu-tze, for an English girl is the
theme of this novel. The Tu-tze is virile,
rugged and not embarrassing personality.
and his love is a primitive though fairly
well-restrained passion. The girl regards
him at first with loathing, then with mild
appreciation. then compares him favorably
with the widowed Hindoo rajahs and oily
mandarins, lolling in their rolls of fat i'm
screened palaces, whom European girls,
dainty and pretty, sometimes marry. The
chief interest in the story centers in these
two. The scene is laid in China at the time
of the recent war. There is considerable ad-
venture in the tale. There is too great
length proportional to the Importance of
the Incidents and entirely too much space
is given to the romantic element. The au-
thor is Louise Belts Edwards. Henry T.
