Last and Forever, Thk aotfon of the President in pro moting and retiring several old off! cere of the army has led to the hope that Congress may see lit to authorize similar action with all oHleer? of long eervioe who may ask for it. Thero are about 800 officers now on the active list of the army who served during the War of the Rebellion, and the enactment of a law authorizing the President to retire these officers upon their own application with an additional grade would be a very ac ceptable concession to long and faith ful service. If the principle recog nized by the War Department in be stowing this favor upon some officers is a sound one there would seem to be no good reason why it should not be recognized by Congress. New Hours of Labor. The recent decision of the courts on the Factory law which prohibits em ployers of labor working minors or women more than twelve consecutive hours in one day, or more than sixty hours in one week, hasuwakened con' siderable interest among lurge em ployers of labor. This is just now particularly true in the large stores which at this time of year are accuS' tomed for about two weeks before Christmas to keep open until 10 o'clock in the evening. The law ns laid down by the Legls l&ture does not permit a minor or woman of any age, working more than the hours named above, whether they may be willing to do so or not Two women employed in the mills of Robert Beatty, at Philadelphia, were either compelled or permitted to work overtime, aud the case was made a test, with the result that the cour decided that the law was sound and constitutional. The wisdom of this law cannot be gainsaid, but it is to be feared that its provisions are not carried out in all cases. Sixty hours of labor per week is all that should be expected of mun or woman, boy or girl, and while at times it may work more or less incon venience to the employers of labor, it must in the end prove beneficial to the people, as it makes necessary the employment of additional labor, in order that the work may be got out in time. It is the duty of the factory inspec tors and their deputies to see that the law is obeyed, but one cannot help feeling that the provisions of the law are not enforced as they should be. It is no uncommon sight to see child ren, girls in short dresses, going to work in the cities before 7 in the morning, and children of the hame ages and sizes going home at 9 p. m. The boy or girl who is compelled by force of oirou instances to go out to labor, and is oompelled to work long hours, is deprived of much that goes to make life for children enjoyable, and of these things which more for tunate children are permitted to have and enjoy. The inspectors should make it a special point to sse that the laws are lived up to by all. If there are not enough deputies to properly cover the ground, then there should be more appointed to see that all are treated alike. It is not fair that some should keep the law and others be permitted to break it. This law which has been made for the women aud children should also be extended to oover the men. With the improved maahinery of the pres ent aire, it would seem as though the hours of labor in all branches might well be reduced.

Dee. 20. General Law- ton's death was a great shock to the omcers of the war department, to near ly all of whom lie was known personal ly. Hitherto li is luck In battle had been marvelous Ho had been In hun dreds of skirmishes and midnight at tacks. He''"was regarded as a man of action aud of splendid courage, but was not consldci ml reckless. He never exposed his m without duo consider ation of the nskB and the stake. His men knew this, and would unhesi tatingly follow his lead under what seemed to be the most desperate con ditions. T.he Indians came to know him as the most active, vigilant, wary and determined of foes, and his pur suit and captuie of Geronlmo, the fa mous Apache chieftain, has gone down to history as one of the most re markable campaigns ever undertaken with the small torce In hand. General .Lawton, who was a native of Ohio, 5G vo.irs old, enlisted aa a private In the war between the states, was made a sergeant at the start, roso to lieutenant colonel of his regiment and was breveted colonel at the close of the war;- Ho won a medal of honor for gnllantly leading a charge of skir mishers. After the war he remained In the regular, army, and then followed his work Iii the I dlan campaign. Though a major general of volunteers, Lawton held only the rank of colonel in tho regular army. At the wir department Instructions had been received Monday night from the president to prepare General Law ton's commission as a brigadier gen eral In the'rpgnlur army to fill one of the existing vacancies.
