Our rlress parade naval officer! are rudely disappointed because our rep- j resentation at the crowning of his royal highness King Edward is to be limited to a single vessel. It was thought that this spectacular display of royalty would give our naval offi cers an opportunity to make a great show of our ability to kill those who may incur our displeasure; but now to be cut down to a single vessel is too mean for anything. The English are having so much expense in connec tion with the stubborn Boers that they perhaps didn't feel like feeding so many naval officers, who strut about in purple and fine linen, and fare sumptuously every day. Teddy should at once wire Eddy that we shall gladly furnish the grub, if he will but con sent to have our entire fleet attend the ; crowning of the king. We seem to be stuck on kings lately, and all kingly undertakings. The sight of two men displaying dirk knives, slung shots and revolvers as a token of their Christian feelings toward each other would be so ridiculous as to lead to the conclusion at once that they must be drunk. The spectacle of two great Dations sending huge black monsters of death and destruction on state oc casions as a token of good will and friendship is even more ridiculous than that of the drunken men. True i Christians have no use for armies and navies, no need of swords, guns and implements that suggest only the sav age in man, no thought of preparing themselves so as to be able to slaugh ter their fellow men to settle a dis- I agreement. But then who has been so | thoughtless a3 to say that we are true j Christians? • * • The number of men in congress who are reported as opposed to certain vicious bills, but still vote for them is altogether too large. The man who is conscientiously opposed to a bill and yet turns in and gives it his vote be- ' cause he has less courage than judg- I ment, and is afraid of the party whip isn't fit to do business for the public j and ought to be retired at the earliest opportunity. Senators Allison and Spooner are conspicuous examples by their action on the ship subsidy bill, j Being intelligent and conscientious j men they could not avoid having strong I scruples against any such public steal. | Both said in effect that it is an in- ; iquitous measure and yet both voted j for it. This affords another argument j for electing senators by direct vote. It is doubtful whether either Allison or Spooner would dare go before the peo ple of his state and ask to be elected ; after supporting subsidy grabs and ; other questionable measures. It is the fear of facing the direct vote of their constituents that will defeat the ship subsidy steal in the house if it is de feated at all. The ship subsidy steal is hanging fire In the house until the members find out, if they can, whether the measure 1 is likely to lose votes for the party it it becomes a law. The people have been stupid enough to submit to all sorts of steals under the name of pro tection, and they are now likely to be submitted to another under the name of subsidy or the more genteel and less suggestive title of ship differentials, j The scheme is unpopular with the com- I raon people, who will have the bills to ' pay, no matter under what name t'he steal is perpetrated, but it is a favor ite with the millionaires who want it passe l to recoup themselves for the c r ruption fund they put up the last two presidential campaigns. There is about as much real difference between ship subsidies and ship differentials and stealing as there is between lar ceny and burglary. CASTo:niA.

A Worac Than In the South, of Which So Much Ila Been Said—Little One* Oppreaaed by Men Who nt Their Club* Pose u* Perfect Gentlemen. In his address before the New York Ethical Culture society at Carnegie hall recently Dr. Felix Adler spoke of the evils of child labor. He reviewed ut length the history of the movement in England during the latter half of the nineteenth century to ameliorate the conditions which were rapidly destroy ing the minds and bodies of many Eng lish children and which were a menace to the commercial and economic integ rity of Great Britain. The Earl of Shuftsbury was the pioneer in this re form, and under liis guidance laws were made which now prevent the fla grant abuses of child labor. During the early part of the period following the introduction of steam aiul other labor saving methods of man ufacture, Dr. Adler pointed out, to coin pete with machinery the old industries were compelled to introduce the cheap est kind of labor in their factories. So low were the wages that men and wo men could not exist on them. Their children were their only resource. They were taken ostensibly as apprentices, but actually as slaves. Age was not considered. Instances were given where little children of both sexes four or live years of age were forced to do the most arduous kinds of labor in many cases for twelve or sixteen hours a day. Turning to conditions in America, Dr. Adler said: "The account of cruelties perpetrated upon young children by imposing la bors upon them beyond their nature is terrible. In fact, they are so terrible that we are often unwilling to believe that there could be such a thing. To call attention to the state of affairs seems more the work of agitators and sentimentalists. We are steeped in de lusion. We say this is an age of philan thropy, and any contrary instances cited are ascribed to exceptionally ab normal natures. But whatever we may think the fact remains that oppression does exist. It is imposed not by a Nero or a monster such as we would sup pose, but by men who nt their clubs present every feature of the perfect gentleman and who at their homes are model husb'ands and fathers. Their moral sense is paralyzed in one direction. With one hand this fiend ca resses his own children, while with the other lie strangles those of his neigh bor. We must restore him to moral sanity. We must compel him to follow bis people to their homes and study them. If he refuses, we must publish the fact. In reaching him we find that the ordinary reformer paints this fiend too black, and people refuse to believe that those who are at the head of re form movements are themselves In need of reform. "I am impelled to make the present address from a study recently made of the efforts in the south to do away with child labor by the American Federa tion of Labor. It is shown that from 0 to 7 per cent of the mill operatives in Alabama are under twelve years of age. lu other states the percentage is as high as 20. Often when the parents refuse to allow their children to work they themselves are refused employ ment. All efforts to do away with this condition of affairs has been opposed not by the southerners, but by men in New England and throughout the north who supply the capital for southern in dustries. "But conditions in New York city are worse than in the south. It is true that our factory act protects children under fourteen from certain kinds of labor. But in stores and tenements the abuse is as bad as ever. During the Christ mas holidays little children are compel led to work from twelve to fourteen hours In stores. "It is strange that we do nothing for our little newsboys. They are out at nil hours of the night and day, exposed to the most inclement weather. We are accustomed to see them, and their wit ami brightness make us think that they are well able to care for themselves. But this precocious development of wit is the prelude of sterility. By the time they have reached their fourteenth year they are worn out. But the most pitiful of all is tlie conditions found in the tenement houses, where, exposed to contagious diseases, little children are compelled to work to help support a whole family. Little as the amount earned may seem, it is essential to very existence. "To do away with this we are con fronted with the dilemma of pauperiz ing the whole family and protecting fu : ture generations or of allowing all geu | orations to grow up charges to the ; state as paupers, insane or criminals. The governor and legislature should appoint a child labor commission at the , earliest opportunity to study the evil ; and propose a remedy." A Rank For Lnlior Fund*. L. It.

EVENTFUL SNEEZING! HOW A LITTLE THING MAY BE LADEN WITH GREAT RESULTS. A Sneeze Under London Itririgre That font Tho and Saved Many Lives. A Sneeze That Averted ANMatiHiua tion—One That CaiiMed a l'anlc. Exactly at 0 p. m. 10 the evening of Dec. 13, 1884, a sneeze was sneezed un der London bridge which consigned two men to an instant and horrible death. Their names were Lomasney and Fleming, and they were conspirators. Their mission was to blow up the bridge with dynamite, because it was considered that at that time there would be more people crossing it workmen. workgirls and others on their way home from business—ilian at any other and that the loss in human life would be therefore correspondingly more appalling. All went well at first. The pair of desperadoes dropped noiselessly down the river in a boat, with forty pounds of dynamite In their possession, to gether with the necessary fuses and de tonators. Arrived at their destination, however, they found that the gully hole underneath the southern arch of tho structure, wherein it had been their in tention to insert the explosive, had been stopped up. Lomasney undertook to remove the obstruction, but it occu pied him some little time. The night was bitterly cold, and his comrade got chilled and was seized with a sudden fit of sneezing. In his agitation he dropped one or more of the detonators he was holding, and these, falling on the dynamite which was laying in the bottom of the boat, exploded it, with disastrous results. Doubtless, however, that inopportune sneeze, although it ended the career of a pair of despera does, saved London bridge from de struction. That the Right Hon. W. E. Forster died peacefully in his bed instead of being assassinated in ISS2 was due to a sneeze. Three times the conspirators laid in wait for him, but the last at tempt was the most determined of them all. Four men armed with heavy caliber navy revolvers were to waylay him as he drove from the viceregal lodge to the castle. Two of the assas sins were to tire at him from the tirst floor window of a house in a certain street, and the other two were station ed at the window of another house a few yards down on the opposite side of the way. These latter were the "reserves" des tined to try their skill should their col leagues miss. Neither of the two firing parties were to show themselves until the near approach of their proposed victim was signaled from the street beiow. The signal in question was to be the waving of a pocket handker chief by James Carey, the same man who was afterward killed by O'Don nell. The plot was excellently planned from the point of view of the partici pants therein. In fact, so far as human foresight could provide against eventu alities the chief secretary seemed as good as dead. Yet It all came to naught and for so simple a reason that the plotters themselves, meeting together afterward at their secret rendezvous in North King street, were fain to laugh at their own discomfiture. I The morning was cold and gusty. ! Mr. Forster was somewhat late, and Carey, chilled with waiting about, be gan to sneeze. Instinctively he drew out his handkerchief, the handkerchief that was to give the fatal signal, and in an instant the blustering north wind had (licked it from his benumbed lin gers and sent it sailing down the street as a twenty mile an hour gait. At that very instant the chief secre tary's carriage turned the corner and came swiftly toward biru. Carey ran to the spot which had been previously agreed upon and tried to make his fel low conspirators understand that their victim was in sight by signaling with his arm and pointing. The result, however, though exactly what might have been foreseen, hardly came up to his expectations. The four men at the windows were waiting for a man witli a handkerchief. Instead, they saw one without any such signaling apparatus, evidently excited and point ing wildly up tlie street. Instantly they conjured up visions of traitors in their ranks and of detectives on their tracks and, dropping their weapons, inconti nently and hastily tied. On the evening of Oct. 11, 1878, a po liceman on duty near the Coliseum Music hall, Liverpool, noticed an unu sual commotion at the entrance. Di sheveled boys and girls, their clothing in many instances torn from their backs and some of them covered with blood, were pouring from the gallery exits, while from within the building came the sound of shrieking and loud cries for help. Realizing something of i what was happening, the constable seized an ax and smashed in two of the | "extra" doors. His prompt action undoubtedly saved I scores if not hundreds of lives, for by this time the auditorium had become a veritable pandemonium, wherein sever ; il thousand people, mad with terror, were lighting and struggling with one uuother for precedence. Thirty-seven of the number lost their lives, and more than twice that number were maimed for life. And the cause of the panic was a tit of sneezing into which a number of girls in the front row of the gallery were thrown owing to some mischievous person tossing I some snuff into the air. I A number of ilioso behind, hearing J and seeing a commotion in front, rose !to their feet. Others joined them, j Shouts and cries added to the coni'u ! sion. \n alarm was raised that the 1 place was on tire, and a simultaneous j rush of hundreds of frightened people j for the narrow exit doors was followed I by the results chronicled. Would Not Insure Him. Insurance Companies Refused to Insure the Rev. J. W. Yeisley Because He Had Kidney Trouble. Tliis case is but one of thousands where tho head of;the house was refused insurance, because he had kidney trouble. Mr. Yeisley had given up in despair when sooio frieud recommended Dr. David Kennedy's Favorite Remedy and it cured him. Mr. Yeisley writes: "My kidneys and liver were In bad condition and I was anxious for relief. 1 had tried many remedies without success and when I bought a bottle of 'Favorite Remedy,' it was with but little faith in its ever helping me, but in a short time it effectively proved its merit. Per haps the best proof I can give that it has completely cured me is to stato that I have since been accept ed by four different life insurance companies." Tho Rev. Mr. Yeisley is the pastor of tho First Reformed church, of St. Paris, Ohio, and is as well the editor of tho St. Paris Dispatch. There is no question that Dr. David Kennedy's Favorite Remedy is the best and surest medicine in the world for dis eases of tho kidneys, liver, bladder and blood, rheumatism, dyspepsia and chronic constipation, as well as the weaknesses peculiar to women. It quickly relievos and cures inability to hold urine and the necessity of getting up a number of times during the night. It puts an end to that scalding pain when passing urine and corrects the bad effects of whiskey and boer.
