PASSING OF THE BOSS.

THE organization of the Legislature by the cleo
ton of the Speaker and Speaker pro tenn and
the President pro tenn OF the Senate and by
the appointment Of the standing committees by the
head OF each house marks departure in the
politics OF California and will stand as the day OF
emancipation OF the Republican party. Bossism in
the party budded and bloomed under the admnistra-
ton that is passing away. 1t went to lengths that
would have been considered incredible when that ad-
ministraton went into power The bosses reigned in
public institutions and swarmed like flies over car
ron on every piece OF patronage, no matter how
small They ruled and raked off salaries from the
great State commissions down to the charwoman
who swept up their cigar stumps and scrubbed their
tobacco stains from the floor of public Offices They
dreamed OF grasping prmacy OF courts and TAX
ing charge of the administration of justice at its very
fountain that they might make profit out OF the
power crime, to bind or loose as they pleased
and paid. They boldly knocked at the door of
the Federal Senate and sought invade that great
chamber in order that their grip Federal office
holders might be strengthened by partnership with
a Senator who could control appointments and die
tate removals. They obstructed public work in the
Federal Offices by their demands They forced Fed
era officers violate the spirit OF the civil service
by promoting political workers the heads OF old
and worthy officers who had won the right to go
higher by their public service, but denied it in
the interest OF their juniors, the private OF
the bosses.
All this, and more and worse is passed, like a
troubled dream King Slum and Crown Prince
Swipes have been thrown the fence on the
dump. The Republican people OF the State took
charge OF their own affairs and each man, on his
own initiative, fought his way to victory over the
combined bosses. Hence exit the boated and
botChed dynasty of corruption and intrigue and en-
ter the people into their fair estate The Call has
worked for this end and has led the long battle that
IS well won. We have sought in the public af-
fairs OF this State and in the domestic discipline OF
the Republican party only things right, things rea-
sOnable and OF good report 1t was battle and could
not be carried on in whispers and with puff balls
II we used fixed ammunition it was because the
emergency required that grim resort We have moth
ing to. regret except the sometimes misunderstood
ing OF good men who belong on the side where we
stood and fought and won. Let the admnistra-
ton OF the States affairs review the four years his
tory OF this battle against the bosses and getting
strength OF grace and dependence on the plain and
clean people keep the disowned and dethroned dy-
nasty in the ditch where it has been thrown. The
party and the people rejoice and we are content Our
task is accomplished

CHILD LABOR LAWS.

~ My short time ago when the OF child
] labor in the Southern States was under
- sideration the press OF the large rlanufactur
ing States in the East threw stones at the South with
degree OF zeal which implied conviction that they
did not live in glass houses. Over and over again
they said to the South, in effect Shame on you for
overworking children. Look at us and see how chill
dren should be treated"
Unfortunately for the preachers the time came
when some one did look at them and look closely.
The result IS discovery that in nearly every State in
the East the child labor laws are evaded about as
easily and as frequently the prohibition laws in
Maine The Investigations in Pennsylvania have dis
closed state OF affairs so shocking that the factory
inspectors have been stirred to an unwoned activity
and it is said that over one hundred Aldermen and
Justices of the Peace be prosecuted for vioat
ing the law in certifying that children could read and
write and were therefore eligible to work in the fac
tories Many hundred parents have been fined for
making equally false statements concerning the age
OF their children The violation of the child labor law
IN that State appears to have been gross vir
tually amount to notification
A condition OF affairs almost as bad is found in
other large manufacturing States The Philadelphia
Ledger, in discussing the subject, says "Pennsyl-
vana is not the only, though it is apparently the
worst, offender in this slow but sure torture or
slaughter OF the nnocents. In the mills Of enlight
ened Massachusetts, there upward OF oooo children
under IA years employed; in New York, 10000; in
Illinois, 10000; in this State including the chill
dren at work in and about the mines there $4,000
This is not creditable showing for this great and
wealthy old commonwealth. 1t is the only one OF
the four States mentioned which fixes the age of
pabllity at I3 years; the others fix at IA years.
1t is to be conceded that it is difficult to enforce
laws of this kind in localities where factories
merous, the demand for labor large and the compet-
tive system working with full force The factory
operators, the parents and the children in cases
are all eager to evade the law There is little hesita
ton in committing perjury concerning the age of chill
dren for the purpose OF enabling them to enter the
factories and the foremen seemingly wink at the per
jury and ask questions even when it is apparent
to the most casual observer that the child applying
for work is under the age required by the statute
Evidently the South is not so far behind the rest OF
the country as at first appeared. The campaign of
education this subject has to be waged again in the
North we'll in the South. 1t is gratifying to
note that the work OF arousing public sentiment on
the subject is going briskly In the end the right
OF every American child education will be en-
forced and no OF them will be put to work before
having had a chance to learn at least how TO read
write and cipher.

A STRANGE FISH.

- ROVER CLEVELAND is reported to have
| said on one occasion that there but two
~ states OF human felicity The higher OF the
two is that which attans when he goes fish
ing and catches something The other IS that which
comes to him when he goes fishing and catches
nothing Accepting that statement as correct some
distinguished gentlemen OF the Mississippi Valley
have attained both states Of felicity at once for they
have gone fishing in the Gulf OF Mexico and have
caught something but they do not know what it
is they decidedly out OF as il they had caught
nothing
The spoil OF the fishers was hooked by accident
He did not bite at the bait offered him, and indeed
it seems that had he done so he could easily have bit
ten the hook along with the bait and swallowed it
with mpunty. From the vague but lurid descrp-
tons that come to Us we learn that the monster"
caught by the gentle fishermen has black body with
wings like bat; the head is shaped like a turtle
the tail is like that OF stngaree but the sting as
long and sharp Sician dagger. The upper lip
OF the mouth protrudes in pronounced pout; the
tongue is three inches long, is hard a flint and
is fitted against similar hard substance the upper
part OF the mouth. When caught the demon of the
deep had number OF small fish spitted on his sting
and it is presumed he intended to eat them but the
hardness of his mouth has led his captors conclude
that his staple dish must have been oysters in the
SHE'LL since it is evident he could grind oyster shells
powder and swallow them with ease.
The new FISH has been named from its head and
wings and is called turtle bat" That name how
ever, doesn't do justice its tail and its tongue
which appear to be the important features OF its
makeup Clearly the wings are OF no USE for it can
not fly; is the head any good for by the head it
was caught. The tail, on the other hand is useful
for with that it can spear and preserve little fish
while with the finty tongue it can grind up oyster
shells. Evidently the curio should be known as the
"fint-tongued stingaree" and classified as a dema-
gogue OF the deep.
There have been great many Bryanites and Popu-
lists driven up Salt River Of recent years and it is
quite likely OF them have found their way into
the sea where the strange capture was made Just
how such Salt River wanderer could have devel-
oped bats wings and turtle head is not clear but
we have Shakespeares word for it that "sea change
brings about something rich and strange; so the
possible relation of the deep sea freak to the lost
freaks OF politics is worth investigating.

AGAINST A MERGER
Resolutions Adopted Opposing contem-

Resolutions Adopted Opposing contem.
plated Changes at the ~"
A protest against proposed changes in
the constitution Of the homeopathic coll
lege OF medicine and surgery at the state
university was voted last night by the
Minnesota State Homeopathic institute at
its thirty seventh annual meeting, Sixty
members had gathered in the senate
chamber Of the capitol, st. Paul. This
protest recited that the board Of regents
OF the state university intend to abolish
the fifteen homeopathic professorships and
to merge the homeopathic school into the
allopathicf college Of medicine, retaining
only two homeopathic chairs, those Of ma
terra medtca and Of therapeutics.
One reason for seeking change was
said to sbe the fact that the Homeopathic
college graduated only seven students last
year and that the freshman class this year
has one member Yet there had been If
teen applicants for admission to the coll
lege. If one applicant only had succeeded,
it was simply because the requirements
for admission were too. stringent They
We're more rigid, it was said. than those
Of any other college in the country
Another resolution was therefore adop-
ted urging that the preparatory courses
followed by both homeopathic and allo-
pathic students should be transferred from
the medical school to the college Of
science, literature and arts.
A third resolution asking that a standing
committee from the homeopathic institute
be permitted to cooperate with the uni
versity faculty in the management Of the
homeopathic school of medicine
The resolutions were unanimously adop-
ted. They were discussed by Drs. A, S..
