Inhumanity to Children.

A copyrighted article from the pen
OF Mrs. John A. Logan bears the
above title. The spirit Of the writing
accords with the impulses of kind
ness. The crime OF inhumanity, with
helpless childhood as its victim, is
one that stirs the normal understand
ing 70 indignant protest. In many
instances this crime cannot be charg-
ed against the indivi Ial who seems
to be responsible. It rests upon So
cieJy at large, and arraignment for
parental neglect is effort misdirected
and wasted.
Mrs, Logan has taken a peculiar
view In that she champions the cause
OF the country boy and girl. She
says they work too long and toe hard
that they are barred from amuse-
menJs and educational advantages.
nor instructed in the niceties OF IiV-
ing They have no recreation. Their
school days are few and far between.
IT is pleasing to state that in re-
gard to a large proportion of farm
ing communities, the good lady is
mistaken. That some country boys
and girls are subject TO all the dis
advantages she names, pitifully
enough, is true Yet, compared to
the environment OF the poverty-rid-
den sWarms that infest the great
cities that Of the country youth is
enviable. The city youugster, scion
OF poverty lives In an atmosphere of
moral and physical filth. There is
not even air that is mt TO breathe.
The sunshine, falling only i'm feeung
strips between tail houses. the abodes
OF misfortune is sifted through
smoke, aud up 20 meet it rises from
the pave the invisible evil brood of
disease. There are schools within
reach, but necessity sends the child 10
labor early, or there may be inability
10 clothe the boy or girl so as TO be
presentable.. They grow up i'm the
streets, about them every influence
debazing They do not get enough to
eat, and much they do get is unfit.
OF course this is not applicable TO
the child Of wealthy or well-to-do
parentage, but neither is the por-
trayal by Mrs. Logan in any measure
suggested by the life known TO the
children of the prosperous farmer.
In every city the men Of prominence
remember the days on the farm, the
pleasant pasture and meadow, the pill
grimage through shaded lanes to the
school house, the rambles in the
woods, the lowing OF the cattle, the
sweet breath OF spring and the gorg-

The Citg Without Shame.

Every newspaper which compre-
bends in its view the affairs Of the
whole nation must have commented
by now-as The Times has done more
than Once-up0n the supine helpless
ness with which the city OF Philadel-
phia cOntemplates the control of its
vote next week by a gang Of political
degenerates. Other cities have sur
fered the rule OF rings. Other cities
have submitted indinerently TO the
perversion of their elections. But
no other community in America has
ever looked so indoIently and care
lessly on the efforts or its true citi-
zens TO redeem it from degradation
Today the whole community has
been warned that in many wards sixty
per cent OF the total registration is
fraudulent; that lawbreakers ali over
the city despise the courts and ridi-
cule their pretensions Of control; that
a public official. who is notorious as
a partner with criminals, is guaran-
teeing a protection which the courts
cannot supervene; and that the police
are being made ready to serve their
masters OF the rmg, TO the discredit
OF all good government.
What is being done? What is it
proposed TO do? Nothing. Absolute
ly nothing.
The third city Of the Union is con
tent with thar state C affairs. II is
true a committee OF cIergymen has
voiced a protest. and hopes some day
20 amend the elections laws so that
In the future they may provide for

means Of preventing the fraud openly

the controlling factor in the coming

INSPECT OLD STATE HOUSE
Building Commission Concerned
For Its Safety-Improve-
ments Needed.

The members of the Building Com
mission of the State House have di-
rected Mr.. Jonas Pennington, the
architect, to make a thorough in
spection of the building, including
the plastering in the dome, and to
take such immediate steps for repairs
as may be deemed necessary for safety.
Architect Pennington will set
about doing this work at once. The
condition of the old State House is
said to be matter of great concern
TO the Building Commission, who fear
that its floors and beams are rotten
and that it is otherwise in q state of
decay. Mr.. Pennington has informed
them that portions of some of the
beams which support the second floor
are rotten. For this reason the recep-
iton of the new Governor after the in
auguration will not be held on the
second floor, as has been the custom
in the past, but in the old Senate
chamber.
The investigation into the safety
of the building was caused by piece
of old plastering falling from the dome
to the floor of the rotunda a few days
ago. 1t is said the Enew building has
weakened the old State House, aud
that as the new one is fire proof it will
be necessary to remove the floors and
ceilings of the old State House in
order to make them fire proof as we'll
1t is also thought that a new steel
dome will be built to take the place
of the old wooden structure, which is
unsafe and offers no protection in case
of fire.
The new dome will be built along
the lines, proportions and symmetry
of the old one To attempt to recon
struct the old State House will be put
ting a patch of new cloth into an old
garment, and will have the effect of
pouring new wine into old bottles.
