WEDNESDAY. nKt'EMBEK 20, 1899.
OUR COUNTRY : First. 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.

imrdiiriit OUIuiuln
Washington. 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.

1 When he asked Tomploton where bo

would kill Mr. Cunningham for In
sinuating that he had anything to do
with the thieving. After somo loud
talk ho drew a revolver from his
pocket, and as Cunningham wus un
armed Snntord White struck the negro
In the face, knocking him away from
Cunningham.
Like a Hash Templcton turned tho
revolver on Whlto and shot him.
While, with wondorful rallying power,
drew his revolvor and tired twice at
Templeton, who wns by this time run

ground and died soon afterward. Some
one In the crowd that gathered caught
up a rille from the company store, near
the scene or the killing, and ilred at
the desperado.
A crowd soon collected and Joined In
the chase, and among the crowd wore
eight good guns. Templeton, although
wounded, ran to the mountains, but
the pursuing party kept tiring at him.
Before tho woods re readied ho was
