PAY OF THE SOLDIER.

The large number of desertions from the army,
the total reaching 6274 during the past year, has
caused much discussion and speculation. The re-
port shows that one out of every fifteen white men
and one out OF every twenty colored men i'll the
army deserted and such wholesale detection could
not fail to challenge attention and incite inquiry
to the reason for it.
If manufacturing concern employing large
number of workmen to suffer the diminution
of its working force at the rate at which the
army is depleted by deserton, that is. in fifteen,
the public would not be slow in concluding that the
cause Of the detection that either the workmen
were badly treated or poorly paid
Is it not probable that in one or the other OF
these causes is to be found the for the whole
sale desertions from the army? 1t does not appear
the soldiers in the United States army are badly
treated Therefore i'll treatment must be elim-
mated, leaving poor pay the probable cause.
Congress has not fit to advance the pay
of the private soldier since the Civil War period
and it is well known that since that time wages III
all industrial. employments have materially ad-
vanced. This has not moved congress to increase
the earning power of the regular soldier however.
True in comparison with the pay received by
the troops of other nations that of the American
soldier is high but it is extremely low in compar-
son with the wages earned in other empoymcnts.
1t seems probable therefore, that reasonable
advance in pay would put an end to wholesale de-
sertions and at the same time attract TO the army
a more desirable class of men, who could be de-
pended upon for efficient and faithful service until
the expiration of the term of enlistment.

The validity of the federal eight-hour law has
been affirmed by the United States district court
sitting at Roston, but on writ of the case
will be taken to the United States supreme court,
by which the broad question of the constitutional
ity of the statute will be finally and authoritativey
determined.
There will be a universal wish that its consti-
tutionality will be affirmed because the final estab
lishment of the principle involved governing fed
era business cannot fail to have the effect of en-
couraging its application to both state and munich
pal affairs.
Judge Dodge imposed sentence on the defend
ant found guilty of violation of the eght-hour law
and in doing so he made it clear that the purpose
was exemplary rather than punitive. The fine inn
posed was larger than the minimum fixed by the
statute but it not heavy, and the weight of the
opinion in the direction of sustaining the prin
ciple involved.
A particularly interesting statement made
by District Attorney French in moving for sentence
in this Many eninently respectable citizens"
he said, 'some of whom work habtually more than
eight hours day, and some very much less, disap-
prove of the faw and inclined to deprecate its
enforcement. On the other hand there is consid-
erably greater number in whose well-being the gov
ernment is vitally interested, whose comfort and
happiness and general usefulness citizens may,
it is contended be promoted by shortening the
hours of their labor within reasonable limits
1t will be conceded by all interested in the wei
fare of the millions who toll that a law which rec
ognizes and establishes a reasonably shorter work
day is that ought to be sustained by the Judg-
ment Of the highest court in the land

FRENCH SENATE
PASSES THE NEW
CHURCH BILL

Paris, Dec. 2e-The senate has con-
cluded the general debate on the new
church measure and the principle of the
bill was voted yesterday by 1s7 ayes 10 81
noes. There only remains the discussion
OF the details OF the various sections
and it is expected that this will be COM
peted today.
In the course OF the debate Minister
OF Education BRAND called forth re-
peated salvos OF applause by assurances
OF the governments determination not to
enter upon superfiuous negotiations with
Rome. not 10 sacrifice its dignity, by abon-
doning the proposed reforms, and not to
accede to the vatican's evident desire for
persecution. to which the government had
replied with an offer OF legislation more
liberal than obtains in any other coun-
try.
The vatican, however. declared NJ.
BRAND, had refused liberty as it's worst
enemy. The bill did not violate the
spiritual influence OF the hierarchy. con-
tinued the minister, and froof OF this
statement was to he found In the fact
that many bishops, clergymen and in
fiuential laymen considered the law OF
1905, acceptable, but were compelled TO
refrain from submission thereto because
OF their obedience 10 Rome, which the
speaker described as resembling slavery.
The government had offered the church
the full benefits OF the common law
hitherto demanded by the pope, but IL
would not accord especial rights TO the
Catholic hierarchy. which implied foreign
control in the internal affairs of the
French republic.
The church's loss OF property was her
own fault continued the minister. Tho
present bill would place the church
within the law I'm spite OF herself and
obllge the pope. if he desired 10 con-
tinue resistance, to resort TO private wor-
ship, and this measure never would be
accepted by the Catholics OF France.

came about. would emanate from Rome,
NJ BRAND averred and this would he
clearly understood by the country at
large.
The senate has ordered that Mr. Brands
speech he placarded throughout France.

ABUSE OF A PRIVILEGE.

Those who administer the affairs OF the hospi-
tails in this city have, many occasions during re-
cent years directed attention 10 the steady increase
in the number of persons who seek free hospital
treatment. There is not the slightest doubt that
the privilege of free treatment is greatly abused
here in Providence and that thousands of persons
fully able to pay for medical attendance relieve
themselves of the expense by representing them
selves as poor.
That this abuse is general and not confined to
any section or any country is proven by statements
made at the hospital conference held recently at
London. 1t was there shown that nearly 500 out
OF every 1000 of the population of London received
free medical treatment from the hospitals.
1t was also revealed that the voluntary hospi-
tails in the great English metropolis have un-
dertaken 81 per cent more work than the increase
in the population warrants Three decades ago
only one out Of four of the population received free
medical aid, while at the present time nearly one
half the population is receiving such relief
Speaking from great knowledge and extensive
experience Sir Henry Burdett declared at the con
ference that unless the volume OF free medical
treatment is reduced voluntary contributions &c
London hospitals will certainly diminish.
Charity is the main support OF these institu
tASns and charitable persons arc becoming impatient
