PA., DECEMBER 9, 1901. The Philippine Decision. From the Philadelphia North American. The decision of the United States ! supreme court iu the "fourteen diamond | rings case" is not all that the imperial- j ists hoped for. It would have simplified ; matters greatly for them if the principle had been established that there are no limitations upon the power of the ■ executive to govern now territory as he | may see fit. Happily, the attempt to do ! so in Porto Rico and the Philippines has j failed. To be sure, the same thing may j be accomplished in another way. since the supreme court affirms the right of j congress to lay discriminatory taxes | against territory belonging to the | United States, but it must bo by a legis lative act, not by personal decree. The government had' ample warning last May. when the supreme court decided the Porto Rlcan cases, that it was proceeding illegally iu collecting , customs duties on our trade with the | Philippines. But Secretary Root brought I his legal ingenuity into play and devised the pretext that, although Spain had i ceded to us its title to the islands, the j United States has not been able to take possession of them because of the resist ance of tbe inhabitants. It was a huiuilating confession for the secretary of war. who had had charge of the militarian operations in the archipelago for inore than three years, but he made it with the best face lie could summon. Chief Justice Fuller! appears to take the keenest pleasure in j exposing Seeretary Root's contradictory ; attitude. On the part of the court lie declines to believe that the government wishes to disparage its title to the I Philippines or to admit that it has been forced to conquer the twelve hundred odd islands it had previously bought j from Spain. That was precisely the contention j made by Secretary Root when lie found himself hard put to it for an excuse for ignoring the supreme court's decisions j in tho Porto Rican eases. The irony of | the chief justice is not concealed when j h gravely repels the suggestion that the United States should call into ques tion its own title to the Philippines. Important Labor Law. By the passage of the industrial arbi tration bill the government of Australia has placed a law upon the statute books i the working of which will excite inter est throughout the whole world. This : bill not. only compels reference of all disputes between employers and em ployes to a competent court, with power to enforce its orders and award, but makes a strike or a lockout, before or pending such reference, a misdemeanor punishable by a line or imprisonment. The court which will pass upon these disputes is to be presided over by a judge of the supreme court and will have most extensive powers, including the power to declare a standard wage and to direct that, other tilings being equal, an em ployer shall give preference to unionist over non-unionst laborers. There is no appeal from the decisions of this court Pr<ftilent Harper's Medallion.

What a Clergyman Learned by Liv ing tbe Life of a Luborer. I Recently at Berkeley Temple, Boston, I the Rev. George L. McNutt spoke on some of the discoveries lie had made When living the life of a laboring man, for, though a minister and a graduate of Princeton, he gave up his parish in a university town and with his family went into a community of factory hands to live and earned his bread as a laborer. | "With no bank behind us and nothing to depend upon but the $1.35 a day 1 could earn working in the factory or as a carpenter, a digger or at other man ual labor," he said, "we lived among those who are known only to God, the j political boss and the saloon keeper." j He was led to take the step by notic | lug bow few of the factory employees ' attended church and that In one estab lishment, where 350 children were em ployed, only thirty-five went to Sunday i school. So ho determined to throw off his "ecclesiastical millinery," as lie termed it, ami study the situation as n real workingman. He found that the j American family is undergoing a dan- j : gerous dissolution through industrial j | conditions. lie said it was a good thing to go I about dressed like a workingman, for j "nobody holds you Up," and then one can get at the real feelings and ' thoughts of other working people, j which, dressed as a preacher, he never could have learned. ! One of his needs, which is shared by ! other workingmeu, was for music, but | all he could hear was in a beer garden, a saloon or when a funeral procession passed by, and, he said, "I had no de sire to join either." One of his fellow j workers, in speaking of the drink liabit I so common among the factory employ ees, said, "I seldom go into a saloon ex | cept for the music." Mr. McNutt said 1 how much better it would be to give I music to those who are hungry for it, instead of to those who are tired of It i because they have so much of it. In praising the good qualities of the j workingman he said a nurse whose oc cupation takes her into the city streets at all hours of the night had told him she newer was afraid of a man with a dinner pail, for he would not. disturb a woman on the streets. In closing Mr. McNutt said when God created man he | put him into the garden as a working j man; his sou came on earth as a carpen ter and religion is the workingman's j first, last and always, and we must find j some way to bring him back to his ! own. We have not met the changed | conditions of modern industry. When we have, we shall find the working ; man ready to worship the Christ who I was a carpenter. A Tribute to John Mitchell. ! From a poor, dispirited, unorganized, j suspicious, work driven people John ! Mitchell's generalship has brought forth a hopeful, organized, trustful people, ! filled with the gladness of a bettered condition and with strength of inde -1 peudence. John Mitchell modestly said that it was the people themselves who had won the victory and improved the working conditions. But the mine work | ers hailed Mitchell as their general, their leader, the man who had broken j their chains of prejudice nnd had pro claimed the bond of brotherhood. What ' wonder, then, that they should set one I day in t lie year apart for the honor of their hero; that every wheel should stop and every pick lie idle and stal ) wart men ami weaker women and tod i dling little children should take part iu j this Jubilation? Great and deep Is the exultation of t lie army leader when he comes home ' from victorious wars—wars for country I and liberty—but no greater and deeper | can he that exultation than in^ the si i lent, heart swelling joy of the man who has labored to make the lives of those about him better and brighter and who hears the cry of gratitude. Henry I George. Jr., in Philadelphia North ! American. A Law That Favor* Labor. It Is not generally known that the I federal statutes contaiu a law favoring labor unions iu certaiu brandies of iu , dustry. Such a law is in the books, I however, and it is one of the most re cent additions to the federal code. Railroad employees are most inter , i ested in this law, which applies to steam railroads, bridges and ferry coin , panics. It makes the discharge from ' any railroad for membership iu a labor union a misdemeanor. Many lawyers are not aware of the . existence of the statute. William L. i Morsey, assistant United States dis trict attorney, said, in looking up the section for The Post-Dispatch, that, while it had not been purposely con cealed, the law was as yet unfamiliar to the majority of lawyers. It was > passed in 1802. , : The union labor law is contained In • section 10 of chapter 370, revised stat i utes.—St. Louis Post-Dispatcli. Lnbor In Germany. 1 A Berlin dispatch to the New York i Timed says: While the agrarians cou | tinue to demand even higher protective ! duties than those proposed by the gov ernment, the distress throughout Ger many is becoming intense. It Is estimated that there are 80,000 unemployed persons in Berlin. In the suburb of Cliarlotteuburg particularly the condition of labor, both skilled and unskilled, is distressing. NeweaMtleVi Labor Trmple. The plans of the proposed labor tem* pie for Newcastle, Pa., are now in the hands of J. W. Slayton, business agent ' of the Trades assembly. It will be a three story building, with lodgerooms, reading rooms, library, gymnasium, bathroom nnd auditorium, with seat ing capacity for 2,000 people. The money is being raised among the local jinions by subscriptions and uoninterest bearing loans.

DON'T Jj DO IT—give tbem Laxakola. For constipation, coated tongue, simple colds and fevers it is invaluable. Viiaxnliola for Young CJirM on tho threshold of womanhood, has been found invaluable. When they bo '/ come pale and languid, tho eyes dull, aching head, feet V \py— _ and hands cold, appetite gone or abnormal, and their sys tenis generally run down, they need building up, and their blood needs cleansing. Give them Laxakola, its gentle ir WMM bowel aetion to cleanse and its tonio properties to build up the system, will show immediate and most heneflcial results. ViOiaboln for Mother*.—lt is particularly valuable and useful to women, especially mothers, as It is a gentle and safo remedy to use during all conditions of health whenever their peculiar and delicate constitutions require a and cfllclent laxative and tonic, while to nursing Aftr mothers, worn out with tho care of infants and whose sys- KAkfL m f terns therefore nre particularly susceptible to disease ~ 1 Laxakola particularly appeals. 'J It elears the complexion, brightens the eye, sharpens tho appetite, removes nimbly and blotched condition of the skin \Y and cures sick headache to a certainty by removing thecauie. X/ To women suffering from chronic constipation, head aches, biliousness, dizziness, sallowness of the skin and dyspepsia, Laxakola will invariably bring relief. Lnxskoln for Old Folks. —ln the Autumn and Winter of Life, when the various organs through long years of action have become more or less sluggish, it le --' Vcomes necessary to stimulate them by some remedy best adapted to that purpose. That Laxakola is such, has been ipBL proved beyond all question. Its gentle warming, soothing 1 action on the bowels, liver and kidneys, stimulates them to vv increased activity, cleanses tho blood, quickens tho circu \s/ lation, and ]>uts the whole system in a condition of health y and enables it. to ward off disease, while its tonie properties tone up the system and keep it healthy. Laxakola Does It. Laxakola is not only the moat efficient oi family remedies, hut the tuost economical because it com. bines two medicines fur one price, I onic and laxative. No other remedy fives so much for the money. All drufpists, j s c. and roc ,or iter sample of The LAXAKOLA CO., 13a Nassau St,, N. Y., or J56 Dearborn St., Chicago. PLEASURE.

Trains Nos. 5 and 0 running between New York and Buffalo, on the Lehigh Valley Railroad, heretofore designated the "Exposition Express." will hereafter be known under new names. No. 6 east ward will be I The New York and Phila delphia Special." No. 5 westward, "The I Buffalo Train." The last name is some thing entirely new in railroad nomencla ture. and a decided departure from the custom in vogue among railroads, of naming trains.
