Kansas city Star,

Mr.. Roosevelt delivered himself more
strongly than ever on the subject OF
criminal betrayal OF public trust. HIS
views and his action on corruption IN
public departments are well known lie
has never regarded personal interests
or party expediency IN the prosecution
OF charges against brbers, grafters ma
turall2ation frauds. postal abuses and
public land swindles. In his eyes there
Is no politics in the prosecution Of
criminals or the rigid demand for hon
est men in positions OF trust

THE PIE COUNTER

Walk up to the great pie counter,
Ye hungry from Sussex and Kent;
Come gorge TO your full satisfaction
It's free, never costing cent.
The waiter that shoves you the dishes
Is runt OF heather Chinee,
SO walk up and call out your order
To the coolie that's known as Al. Lee.
Walk up to the great pie counter,
The stock cannot last very long;
And while such a good thing is going,
They're anxious to pass it along.
There's every kind, with one excep-
tion,
That's known to the pie-malxing
trade,
They somehow forgot how to fashion
The kind that your own mother
made.
That pie-can you ever forget IT.?
The fruit OF our own cherished soil
Twas placed between crusts OF con-
tentment,
And baked in the oven OF toll.
Twas eaten IN peace and In honor,
And there was no night-mare to flee:
And yet you prefer the pie counter
That's kept by heather Chineel

TOLD OF "BALDY" SMITH.

Generals Career.

Incidents In the Famous Civil War
Generals Career.
OF the late General William Farrar
Smiths strenuous work in the army
much was written while he figured be-
fore the public, which it is interesting
now to recall. "Baldy" Smith was the
name by which the general was best
known. His premature badness was
responsible for the title. A writer in
the Brooklyn Eagle on March 20, 1879
said:
His first engagement Of any impor-
tance was on April l6, 1862, at a place
variously known as Lees Mills and as
Wynne's Mills, on the Yorktown line.
People generally believe that no at
tempt was ever made by Mcclellan TO
assault the Yorktown line. The great
"Cunctator," as Carlyle would have
called him, is supposed TO have only
tried to dig his way through the Con.
federate fortihcations. This IS not
entirely true. The enemy's works OK
tended from the York to the James,
advantage being everywhere taken Of
the conformation Of the ground, the
streams, etc. Lees or Wynne's Mills
was opposite the left of our line. Aft
er consulta ton with his corps and divl-
sion commanders 1t was decided that
this was fhe weak point in the enc
my's line, and Smith was ordered to
rr.,r f.1rr found
to be exceptionally strong. General
Smith pushed all his artillery up close
to the pond which covered the enemy's
works and at close range silenced the
Confederate guns. He then sent tile
Sixth Vermont into the swamp below
the dam, and desperate struggle er-
sued The first line was carried, but
either the regiment was not properly
supported or the Confederates were too
strong, and oBr troops We're repulsed
with considerable loss. At Williams
| burg one of Smiths bI1gades, COM
manded by General Hancock, covered
Itself with glory. 1t forced its way
through the enemy's intrenchments on
our extreme right, and had General
Smith been allowed 20 re-enforce 1t, as
he begged to be allowed TO do, he
would have taken the enemy complete
~ In flank and rear and would have
ended that affair very differently.
General Smith was never wounded,
although he exposed himself like a
grenadier. He stood within a dozen
yards of the first timber chest exploded
In the Army Of the Potomac and ex-
hibited no more concern than IL the
Confederate shell that did tho mischief
had been a message of peace and good

New style OF Garment Invented For
Women.
The Dressmakers' Protective associa-
ton has vindicated its right to exist
ence, and Miss White, its president has
performed a service for which woman
kind will rise up and call her dear,
says the New York American.
AS a result Of the study and research
Of Miss White she IS able TO chronicle
the invention OF skirt that will with
stand the ravages of the wind at the
Flatiron corner, Twenty-third street
and Broadway, in New York. where
the breeze never ceases from blowing,
and cause the wearer no more anxiety
than though she were becalmed on the
equator.
1t is shaped like a lily and for the
rest, as far as eXternals go, is much
like an ordinary skirt. but underneath
there is a band of hairclOth about sew
en- inches wide, and that does the trick.
The haircloth holds the skirt down. 1t
is the anchor to windward, so to speak.
With that band of haircloth attached
to flounce milady may walk around

oHARrrY AND DISPLAY

Sometime since on a sunny day had
one been passing along -- street he
would have seen woman sitting on
the step. His nerves would have been
set on edge by the racking cough that
kept her thin figure agitated. He
might have stopped at the corner. as a
certain passer-by did. have glanced
back to see more. He would have OBJ
served the look Of despair on her face,
her dropping shoulders and hollow
chest; and when he had seen the half
clad, neglected children that dragged
at her. calling her mother" his heart
would have gone out towards the little
ones who were so soon TO be left or
phaned because the dread disease con-
sumption. had fastened on the parent.
That is no fanciful picture. and il
may be duplicated any day. That mo-
ther was striving 20 ward off a fate
that she knew was upon her. 1t prob
ably meant bereavement and neglect
for those children. but it meant much
more. In all probability their i'll
nourished bodies win not be sufficient
to battle with the disease with which
they have been brought in contact.an6
win succumb one by one to the fatal
malady. Then the neighbors viii gather

EDITORIAL OPINION
Regulate Child Labor.


From the New York Tribune
The bills prepared by the Child
Labor Committee for the protection OF
child labor in this State will probably
come up for discussion in the Assem-
bly and for a hearing before the Sen
ate Judiciary Committee today. It is
to be hoped that the degrading effects
which result from the employment of
children of tender years in the street
trades may be made clear to the men
by whose votes the abuses which have
hitherto existed may be wiped out
There seems to be considerable oppo-
sition to the bill by people who cannot
see the dangers which beset the little
breadwinners. IT provides that:
mo child under twelve years of age
shall work as a bootblack or street
peddler in cities of the first class and
no child twelve TO fourteen years of
iage shall so work later than 8 O'Clock
in the evening. No child under ten
years of age shall work as newsboy
in cities of the first class, and no child
ten to fourteen years of age shall so
work later than Q o'clock in the even
ing"
The bill is aimed particularly toward
taking from the streets mites Of chill
dren WHO in many instances become
useless members of the community in
their efforts to earn a meagre sum by
lselling newspapers or backing boots

THE sENArE's DILEMOlA

The United States Senate finds itself
in a remarkable dilemma. a majority
wants to pass the treaty with Colom-
bia, which would insure the imme-
date construction Of the Isthmian
Canal. But one old man Of seventy
nine stands in the path. and the ma
jority is helpless. To make matters
worse all have great respect for Sena-
tor Morgan, and his years cause appre-
hension in case he should resort to the
method Of talking the measure to
death. This he declares is his purpose
unless the opposition will yield ON
many points. 1t is said that sessions
OF FIVE hours length win be held, IN
order not to tax his powers too greatly,
but that after a time It will be neces-
sary TO extend the time Of the sessions
when It is thought he will tire out and
possibly collapse.
What a farce it Isl No Senator. nc
matter how great his age, nor i'm what
respect he is held by his colleagues,
has right to oppose indefinitely a
measure that has the sanction Of the
vast majority of the Senate. 1t is an
unkindness to him. since with his con-
victions of the evils of the bill, he be-
lieves he has no option but to talk 1t
to death. The Senate has reached a
point when Il must provide some
method of cutting off debate and
bringing questions to a vote. Perhaps
Senator Morgan's opposition may lead
to this solution. II so he will have in
directly performed a public service.

From the Dover Index.
The Senatorial deadlock is ended
and in a way that makes good citizens
or Delaware ashamed of their State
and Democrats ashamed of their party.
We have nothing TO do with the ac-
lions of the Republicans. They could
not have done worse. but we are not
responsible for their acts. 1t is the
action of members of our own party
that we feel called upon to criticise.
With a view to eliminating Addicks
and giving the State representation in
the United States Senate. at the Begin
ming OF the session the DEMOCRATS
made a proposition to the Regulars
ehat a Regular and a Democrat be
elected This could have been accom-
plished but for the ambition of VIII
lard Salisbury, who controlled enough
Democrats to defeat such coalition un-
less he should be the Democrat chosen.
Later when the Union Republicans
made their proposition for the selec-
sion of candidates by a joint caucus
