Law and laWIessness.

Law is opposed to lawlessness
the one is order the other diSOr-
der; the former is for right the
latter for wrong.
This is the will OF the people,
the safeguard for all civilized
nations. Lawlessness means ruin
and anarchy and will result in
the final humiliation of any gov
ernment. Law is an established
rule of action. Lawleess, is the
contrary of law. A man who
disobeys the law of nature suffers
accordingly, a man who disobeys
the law of society is expelled,
etc. 1t is written that if you get
to heaven you must obey the
laws, but you cannot obey Gods
laws unless you obey your own
law, and with this logical propo-
stion before you, a number of
people are in imminent danger Of
perdition.

Why the American Government May
Not Permanently Endure.

Why we believe this govern
ment may not be permanent, is
this: 1st. She is mixed with all
manner of peoples, and the great
commercial head have their place
of resort in their native lands.
Cd. The government is slow to
protect her most loyal citizens,
her sable sons who have never
blown out the lights and stabbed
the chief magistrate Of the land.
Sd. She seems to be inlmical to
every race, not white, causing all
these races, not white, to, OF
course, have that retaliatory
splrit-so when the climax comes
America may turn, breathing her
last breath, and, in faint, but
audible tones, say: "Et tn Brute. y

BENEFIT TOTHE MEN
Law Passed by the Congress
Recently.
From Mondays Daily.

From Mondays Daily.
Copies of the law passed at the pres
ent session of congress and approved
by the president on the 18th inst, which
increases the liability of railroad com
panies for the injury or death of their
trainmen through the negligence of CO.
employees have been received in Mankato.
Hereafter, if a trainman running be-
tween any Minnesota points into Wis
consin is injured or killed in Wiscon-
sin through the negligence of another
employe the railway company is brought
in the federal court.
A feature of the law that is also es-
pecially of benefit to the employee in an
action for damages is that which does
make the fact that employee was guilty
of cOntributory negligence himself bar
to recovery and makes the jury the
judge of the employees negligence. The
law, which is of general interest, is as
follows:
Be it enacted by the senate and house
of representatives of the United States
of America in congress assembled. That
every common carrier engaged in trade
or commerce in the District of Column
bia, or in any territory of the United
States, or between the. several states, or
between any territory and another, or
between any territory or territories. and
any state or states, or the District of
Columbia, or with foreign nations, or be-
state or foreign nations, shall be liable
of its employees, or in the case of his
death, to his personal representative for
the benefit of his widow and children, if
none then for his next kin dependent up
any, if none, then for his parents, if
on him, for all damages which may re-
suit from the negligence of any of its
officers, agents, or employees, or by rea-
son of any defect of insufficiency due to
its negligence in its ears, engines, appli-
ances, machinery, track, roadbed, ways

PUPILS DO GOOD WORK.
Fine Entertainment Given BY St
Peter and Paui's Students.
From Mondays Daily.

Within the short space of two weeks
the children of st. Peter and Paul's
school have given substantial proofs of
their proficiency in studies. On June IL,
the boys rendered a program which at
tracted a very large audience. 1t is but
Just to say that the sturdy little lads
endeared themselves to their friends
by the manliness, the enthusiasm, the
intelligence which marked every num-
Der. 1t was not mere mechanical per-
Torrance of something learned by rote
but a heartfelt rendition of what they
themselves had learned to make their
own.
Just week later the girls of the same
school presented similar program to
their friends who came in large numbers
to see them and show their appreca
ton of the work. From the moment the
curtain rose till it fell on the last num-
Der the listeners were filled with pleas
ure and delight. As previously, in the
entertainment of the boys, so also here
the program was characterized by the
taste and Judgment manifested in the
selection of the topics, by the earnest
ness, maturity and intelligence with
which the little performers entered in
to their parts, and the perfect ease and
self possession with which they moved
about on the stage. The beautiful sen
timents of some of the pieces were
heightened by the classical music and
songs accompanying them. In fine both
entertainments are eloquent proof of the
noble work accomplished by the hard
working teachers of st. Peter and Paul's
school and speak powerfully of the pro-
ficiency of the pupils.
So well did the two entertainments
please that the English numbers of both
programs will be given again, Sunday,
July l, at 1880 p. m.

THE TREND TOWARD BRYAN

The Democratic sweep toward Bryan
has become irresistible. In every state
where an expression of the party's
preference has been given the demand
is Bryan and nobody but Bryan" In
no section of the country is any other
man considered as a possibility for the
nomination, outside the narrow per-
sonal following of the yellow newspaper
perpetrator
Nearly a dozen states have formally
declared for Bryan as the choice of
the Democratic party, and it now seems
certain that all the rest will follow suit
in time as they hold state conven-
tions. If the national convention were
to be held now the nomination of Bryan
by acclamation would be assured. And
there is every reason to believe that
the present trend toward him will con-
until the hour of calling for the names
of candidates in the national conven-
tion.
Nothing in the political future seems
more certain than the nomination of
Bryan as the Democratic candidate for
president. His election would look al
most equally promising but for the
fractional vote that may be lost in GER
tain close states by the Vaccinations
of w. r. Hearst. That person has
given UP all hope of cutting a promi-
| nent figure in the next presidential
| contest, but he hopes to pave the way
for such an appearance in the years
to come. By heading his 'Independ-
ence league group of followers he ex-
poets to control enough votes in New
York and certain other close states to
insure Democratic defeat and thereby
cause himself to bob up as the logical
anti-Republican leader.
Fortunately for Democratic pros
| poets the Republican party at present
| stands to lose far more than enough
| votes to offset all the injury that
| Hearst can inflict on the Democratic
| party With all the means that ht
may command, the influence of Hearst
| is not likely to be decisive. The de-
fection in the Republican party, or
t3e contrary, as shown in the situa.
ton in Iowa, Ohio and certain othel
states, is the most serious that has ap
! peared since the formation of the party

BUSINESS MEN NEEDED

The more the city hall pool is stirred
the muddier it becomes. Flagrant care
lessness and fncompetency, if nothing
worse, are seen by the public on the
surface of the pool. What a thorough
examination might reveal is left to
the imagination.
How long would a Los Angeles bust.
ness establishment survive such gross
ly unbusinesslike developments as
lately have been coming to light In
the municipal service? AS business
men see the situation, the manage
ment of affairs as disclosed in several
departments appears as travesty or
business methods. 1t would all be
laughable but for the serious consid-
GRAFTON that vital interests Of the city
are at stake.
These revelations, surprising and
exasperating as they are, win not be
without compensating benefit If they
arouse the public to the point of de.
manding a new deal and a square dea
in the management of municipal af
fairs. But such reform can be effected
only by rescuing control from the Re
publican machine. The Parker ide5
