GOVERNMENT ny TNJUNCuoN.

We are certainly having plenty of
government by injunction these DAYS.
Ana the employer is not the only par
ty who is asking for government in
that way. The employee is taking ont
injunctions against the employer. In
Omaha the Business Mems Association
mas been enjoined from interfering in
any way with labor unions, or mem
bers of labor unions. or from refusing
to sell articles to members of labor
unions. The injunction is a sweeping
one.
There is a widespread feeling of I'M
rest in labor circles. While there do
not seem to be many strikes on rail-
roads at this time there are strikes
of one kind and another in MANY of
the cities of the country, and. after
all, the use of the injunction is not
turning out to be such bad thing. 1t
can be used by the employe as well
as the employer. 1t gives the contend
ing parties time to cool off, and IL
sometimes happens that before the ,.x-
piIation of the temporary Injunction
an understanding is reached and the
trouble ended.
OF course, the injunction would be
unjust If used only against the en-
ploye. but it, is a weapon that both
parties can use. and just at present
it seems to be serving a pretty good
purpose.

SPEECHES WHICH CAUSE UNEASI-
NESS.

The speeches which the President
the Pacific coast seem to be causing
uneasiness in Germany, judging from
the comments in the Berlin papers.
The Presidents jacksonville speech
was made the subject of the leading
editorial of one of the most infiuen-
tial of the Berlin papers. That paper
said that never before had American
ambition to command the Pacific been
formulated in that fashion. 1t enumer-
ated the Powers, including Germany,
which have an established position in
the Pacific, and expressed the opinion
that the Presidents anticipations as
to the power of the United States In
the Pacific would not be realized in
the near future.
There does not seem to be any good
reason for the Germans to be uneasy.
The President is talking for campaign
purposes. The speech which he deliv-
cred at San Francisco on Wednesday,
and reported in our dispatches yester-
day, was much like others which he
has delivered since he has been on the
Pacific coast. The subject of it was the
expansion of our trade with the Far
East and the protection of the Philip
pines. He talked about the necessity
for being prepared for war and of
showing the strongest nations that we
are able to maintain our rights. He
declared that we must have a greater
navy, must build the best and most
formidable ships and must train men
in the navy in the most thorough way
to the best performance of their duty.
OF course the President wasn't Civ
ing a warning to other Powers which
have a position in the Pacific. He was
simply making himself solid" as it
We're, with the Pacific coast people.
They are under the impression that
possession of the Philippines is going
to bring the trade of the Far East to
their doors, and that their section is
going to be the greatest and richest
part of this country.
There is no occasion for uneasiness
in Berlin or any other European CAPT.
tai on account of the Presidents
speeches. He isn't aiming at any ma
ton on the other side of the Atlantic
ocean. He is simply trying to capture
the American voters.
The Savannah morning news., 1903-05-15

Does the Baltimore Sun speak for
Senator German in the matter of the
Democratic nomination for the presl-
dency? On his departure for Europe
the other day that paper said that he
would not be a candidate for the nomi-
nation, that it was not his ambition
to be President. According to the
Suns statement, he would rather oc-
cupy a position from which he could
dictate the nomination, and, in the
event of Democratic success, be the
Warwick of the administration. 1t
may be that the Sun is in Senator Cor
mans confidence, but there are thou
sands of influential Democrats in all
parts of the country, particularly in
the South, who are of the opinion that
he should be the presidential nominee
of his party in 1904.
1t is true, of course. that If he should
be the nominee he would be subjected
to a severe strain for many months.
The excitement of a presidential cam
paign is very great, and the labors are
arduous, to say nothing of the response
bilities. Senator German is said to be
in excellent health now, but it may be
that he is satisfied that he would soon
break down under the weight of the
burdens of a presidential campaign.
We have not seen anything directly
from him. however, indicating that he
does not desire the nomination. But it
is hardly probable that he would make
a statement in regard to that matter
unless he were placed in a position
where he could not very we'll avoid do
ing so.
The Baltimore Sun is also the au-
thority for the statement that he is
extremely partial to Judge Parker of
New York as the most available man
the Democrats could nominate. He and
Judge Parker have been close friends
for many years, and 1t is stated that
he would like to see him elected Presi-
dent.
If Senator German should not be the
nominee there is no doubt that he
would be the chief adviser of the Dem
ocratic Campaign Committee. Demo-
Gratis have the most implicit confidence
in his judgment as a Campaign mama
ger. That he deserves the confidence
there is no doubt. The hope will be
entertained, however. by thousands of
Democrats in every state that he will
be the party's presidential nominee.

CURRENT COMMENT.

The Norfolk CVa.) Landmark (Dem.)
says: "A queer thing about the Brook
Ign Eagles warm advocacy of Mr..
Clevelands nomination by the Demo-
cracy next time is the fact that less
than three months ago, in supporting
the Parker boom, the Eagle deprecated
ground that there is an inveterate
prejudice against third terms in the
presidential Office"
The New York Journal of Commerce
(Ind) says: 1--WE have undoubtedly
been able by raising a tariff wall to
build up some industries at the ex-
pense of others and develop some more
rapidly than would otherwise have been
done, but now we have accumulated
capital and diversified industries I'M
til the policy of protection no longer
needed is chiefly used to enable the
few to gather excessive profits from
the great body of consumers
The Indianapolis News (Dem) says:
Cleveland may be nominated, but it
is more likely that what he and his
friends are trying to do is to make
Bryan see that he is not quite the
whole thing that other influences than
that of Bryan must be enlisted in sup
port of the next candidate, and to con-
VINCE the people that the Democratic
party is once again a sane and reason
able political organization, and one
that can safely be intrusted with the
administration of the nations bust
ness"
The Pittsburg Post CDem.) says:
Mr.. Cleveland's name may as well be
eliminated from the list of possible or
probable Democratic candidates. He
may have ambitions and desires as TO
the future OF his party and IL would
be strange IL he had not, but the Post
has never believed for a moment that
he had desire for a third term NOM
nation. or would promote any move
ment IN that direction. The suggestion

discussion OF future politics. There Is

MIGHT TAKE TT AS A Drrrv

A good many people are undertaking
to speak for Mr.. Cleveland in regard
to the Democratic nomination for
President. A few days ago we quoted
Mr.. Villas, who was Postmaster Gen
eral during Mr.. CleveIand's first adj
ministration. He did not know any
thing about Mr.. CleveIand's plans or
purposes, but he managed to say
enough to get good deal of newspaper
notoriety.
Another man who is talking for Mr..
Cleveland is ex-Gov. Foster of Ohio.
If we are not mistaken he was a Re-
publican. and probably is yet. Still, he
and Mr.. Cleveland are great friends.
and Mr.. Cleveland is at Middle Bass,
o., on a fishing expedition.
Ex-GoY. Foster opened his remarks
about Mr.. Cleveland's intentions by
saying that he did not speak for Mr..
Cleveland, but that he THOUGHT he
knew Mr.. Cleveland did not want the
nomination of his party for President,
but that he might take it as a dutv.
Mr.. Foster said that Mr. Cleveland
deserved the nomination. and had the
confidence of the people, but that he
thought Mr.. Bryan had a majority of
the Democratic party.
If Mr.. Bryan controls half of the
Democratic party there are good rea-
sons why Mr.. Cleveland does not want
the nomination. There is no combina-
ton of circumstances that can be
thought of that would induce Mr.. Bry-
an to use his influence to bring about
the nomination of Mr.. Cleveland. Gov.
Foster hasn't thrown any light on the
situation.

PENNsYLVANIA's CHILD LABOR

BILL.
In our dispatches yesterday it was
stated that the Governor of Pennsyl-
vania had signed the child labor bill re-
Gently passed by the Legislature. This
bill was not the most important child
labor bill that was introduced into the
Legislature of that state at its last ses-
sion. II was an important one, how
ever, and it will have a beneficial eff
feet upon the mining population of the
state. 1t raises the age from twelve
to fourteen at which boys can be en-
ployed at the coal breakers and from
fourteen to sixteen at which they can
be employed in and about the mines,
either bituminous or anthracite.
The other child labor bill provided
against the employment of children in
factories until they had reached a
certain age, and particularly against
the employment of little girls in facto-
ries at night. 1t would be interesting
to know the influence that secured the
defeat of this bill
A very large percentage of the en-
ployes of the silk mills are little girls,
and II must not be overlooked that
many of them are employed at night.
Those who are familiar with the sub
ject say that the strain of the night
work on these girls is far greater
than the work in the day time, and
that they rapidly sink under the hard
ships which they are required to sen-
dure.
These girls are dwarfed in body and
mind. They are required to earn mon
ey before they have learned to read
and write and spell correctly, and con-
sequently they grow up in ignor-
ance. They have no exercise and none
of the pleasures and amusements of
childhood. AS a rule, therefore, when
they reach maturity they are utterly
unfit for the duties of life And the
same is true of boys VINO are put to
year in and year out.
Just how many boys and girls there
are in this country between the ages of
ten and fifteen years employed in
"gainful occupations is not known
but in 1900 the number was 100000.
What a vast army of children to be
shut out from the sunlight and fresh
air, and to be deprived of the pleasures
of childhood! And these children are
kept in the mills by their parents for
the pittance they earn, or through the
efforts of mill owners because they can
obtain their labor for little or nothing.
OF course we need child labor legis-
lation here in the South, and there will
be such legislation doubtless in the
near future, but we wish to call atten-
ton to the efforts which are all the
while being made in Massachusetts and
some of the other New England states
in behalf of child labor legislation in the
South while nothing is said of the need
of such legislation in Pennsylvania and
some Of the other Northern states.
Pennsylvania does not compete with
the cotton mills of New England while
the South does.
