There may be extenuating circumstances in some instances of child labor, but it does not appear that a miner who owns his home, and has an income of ?500 per vear, is Justified in maUiiii; a slave of his child. Not all tho miners are saints, nor all the opera tors sinners. Wherever wroiiK is found, by the investigations, it should be made public. The object of this costly and wearisome task is to get at the truth of this aggravated labor trouble, and no matter where the thunderbolt of truth, falls, it should be welcomed and will bo welcomed, by a waiting and Impatient public. such patriotic sentiment comes from other states. THE COURSE OF EMPIRE. A monument, placed last Wednes day In a lonely field between Wlgg's station and Ellzabethtown, seven miles southeast of Columbus. Iml marks Iho center of papulation of th United States proper at the end of tl"' tiinoippiith century It nlso common) orates the folly of those who at thr century's beginning thought it Impos sible that seaboard civilization would ever pass boyond the Alleghcnlos. Our center of population, Including Alaska, Porto Rico and the Philippine!, is somewhere in Kansas exactly where is unknown, as we have no census of the Filipinos. . 1 In 100 years the center traveled westward 47S miles, or about turee feet an hour. The line made by its progress was drawn to Its southern most point In 1830 by the develop ment of Kentucky, Tennessee and the lower Mississippi region, wavered North until 1870, went South in ISis" and Northward again in 1890. Its longest Jump wns 81 miles between 1S5U and 18(10 because of the Califor nia gold fever: the shortest was fiom 1SB0 to 1900. when because of the I growth of the Eastern cities It travel-1 led but 1-1 miles west, and wnen tne i development of Texas, which gains as i many congressmen in the new appor tionment as New York, and or 01:1a I homa and the Indian territory, deflect I ed It three miles south. At the end of the century It is very nearly due west of where It started. Where will the renter be in A. D. 2000? Eastern prophets see it crawl- j lug slowly into Illinois and there pans- j lug. Far western men say that it will continue to go rapidly westward. Sys-1 tematic Irrigation, with . its small farms and compact civilization, they i say, is only beginning the translor-, matton of the West into plains a3 rich, and populous as Babylon's of old. and they may not bo dreaming. If tho center were to movo westward In this j century Just as It did In tho last. thei year 2000 would find It In Missouri a little southeast of Leavenworth. Kas., 1 whore It would still be considerably east of tho geographical center For this is Indeed a very big rountr New York World. The lecture of Eugene V. Debs in this city was a surprise to many of the thinking men and women who lis tened to it. - Although tho masses in the country nre well informed on current ques tions and issues, there arc those who confound socialism with anarchy, Many think that socialism means uni versal disorder, relief from personal responsibility, and a chaos of Indus-1 trial and property rights. ! The surprise of tho lecture was that although a socialist lecture, de livered by the foremost socialist of tho country, it advocated tho mostl perfect enjoyment of opportunity, the perfect development of individuals find the harmonious management of jmbllc utilities for public good. It is safe to say that tho number ot socialists at heart, in this city, Is one hundred per cent greater today ihan yesterday. The audience was not idlo while the principles wero be ing enlarged upon. It was a thinking, reasoning, averago American audi ence, susceptlblo to logic, whether coming from socialist, democrat or re publican. Socialism is before tie public. It is one of the great Issues, and tho quicker its study Is taken up tho more Justly its flnaf outcome will seem to those who may live to see Its power enthroned.

The slender rope dropped down the precipice, the slip pery log over the abyss, anything that offers a chance of life, is eagerly snatch ed at. The end the man seeks is safety. He cares nothing for the means to that end. There are thou sands of men and women whose lives are at stake, uocior of indignation through tho hearts of i Golden the people.
