The folly of the king system of gov

ties, without proof of aptitude, without
evidence of the proper sort of character

it Is all very well to say that he la hut
a figurehead; that the real reeponslblli
ties of the government will be borne by
older men; that he la the ruler of Por
tugal In name only, but that does not
vindicate the pnundneM of the monar
chical Idea. If he la to be the actual
head of the government, the plan of giv
ing him such a position merely-because
he Is who he la becomes for that rea
son peculiarly absurd. If he la not to
be the actual chlrf of the government,
but an ornament only, the absurdity of
the thing la just as clear, for what is
the use of having a king If somebody
else la to do the work? A king under
•uch circumstances becomes a ridiculous
superfluity and a sort of relic of the
old days of popular servility to a ficti
tious "divine right."
The decision of the United States Sú
frame court in an Oregon Chee affecting
a
«
the labor of »«-»men will establish a
principle of far reaching Influence. The
state passed a law forbidding employ- j
ers fluui forciug women to work more
than ten hotljs a 4»iy. A Portland j
laundryman questioned the constltu j
tlonallty of this law. He declared that
It put a limitation upon the power of
contract. From the Supreme Court of
Oregon the case reuched the highest
national tribunal. That body haa de
cided In favor of the state legislation.
I’fae opinion of the court, as Stated by
Justice Brewer, cnJls attention to the
fact that the rights of women can no
more be Infringed than those of mem
But on niuny accounts women are em
titled to greater protection than men
Whatever theories may bu advanced Ln
connection with womens rights, the
facts remain that the sexes differ in
structure of body, in physical strength,
in the capacity for long continued
labor, particularly that dons standing
Th» difference is marked when ther«
Is consideration of the Influence of vlg
orous health upon the futurs well being
of the raie,"the self-reliance which en
ables one to assert full rights and th«
capacity to maintain the struggle foi
subsistence. Because of these reason»
the court declares that legislation Is
behalf of women may be sustained eves
If similar legislation is not required foi
men and could not be sustained. Th«
difference in law« for meu and worn«»
la justified by th« inhérent difference«
of sex. If som« of the burdens wblcb
rest upon women are peculiarly heavy
they ought to have comi>ensatlon la
other directions. There has long bees
recognition of the principle that child
labor should have its own laws and
should not be put upon the same plan«
aa that of adults. This declsloa place«
the labor ef women in a distinct cate
gory alao. It does not deprive a stat*
of the right to refuse to enact Law»
regulating women labor, but it make»
ft «ertain that state laws regulating
the labor ef adult women which dlffei
from those affecting adult males, will
not be set aside by the federal Supretn«
Court. A state legislature may enacl
such a law, however, and the state Su
preme Court bold it unconstitutional.
That was the case in Illinois. Its Su
preme Court made short work of a law
regulating the hours women should
work on the ground that it was aa
unlawful interference with the right
of an adult to dispose of her labor.
Some state Supreme Courts have taken
the Illinois view of the case, whll«
others have been of a contrary opinion.
Probably in time there will be a gener
al acceptance of the principles enuncia
ted by the Supreme Court of the Unit
ed States. The reasons asserted by
the court will be recognized every
where as having great fores. They will
rusks thslr appeal to the better judg
ment ef all. Whatever the theories
advanced in favor of substantial equali
ty of women and men in political, per-
sonal, and contractual rights, the fun
damental differences of sex will con
tinue to exist snd will be considered
aa important in shaping laws.

THE CHURCH AND LABOR.
By Bishop H. C. Potter.
It is not the giving of money or the
creation of charitable institutions
that builds up the feeling of brother
hood among men. The poor man re
sents our condescension. He does uot
want that or your gold; he wants
rei'ognitlon of his manhood. The shop
girl wants you to honor her woman
hood ; te respect her in the task in
which she la toiling and suffering.
You cau do much to make that task
easier and create an atmosphere tu
which she and you can move alike as
members of the same divine society
•nd fellow soldiers auder Christ. This brlnga into view
the relation of the church te great social problems. You
and I somehow er other must bring tbs man who worka
with bis hands to recognize his place, his right, his office,
his calling in the ehurvh ef God. The first business of
the church La te place her house« of worship at the serv
ice ef tbs people whe work with their hands and then la
the life of the cbur«h to encourage that spirit which will
help ns te understand and to serve it There la but ou«
way to do that. Instead of turning te any “tern" ef the
hour or theory of social reconstruction, er a ay new
philosophy which andertakes te recreate •oclety upon
theories which are essentially barbaric la their nature,
you and I must ge back and look late th« face of the
Master and find in Una th« secret ef eur service and eur
triumph.
IS THE BLACK MAN DISAPPEARING!
By Prof. Giddings of Columbia.
The real negro question In the South Is that
th« white people de not believe that it would
be advantageous fur civilization and American
institution« to permit the general amalgama
tion of th* whit« and negro blood, and they
cherish this view with Intense bitterness and
prejudice ou account of past traditions, and
exclude the negro from social «quality with
whit« men. It la not merely political tradi
tion ; it is not merely economic conditions. It Is a ruce
instinct, and Is especially held by the women of the
South, that If the negro were admitted to join tu every
thing socially and equally with the whit« man, nothing
could prevent the amalgamation of th« blood of tiie two
races. That amalgamation they do not believe to be for
the highest intereat of th« South aud the aivUliation of
the white American nation.
However, notwithstanding this attempt ef the white
people of the South to exclude the negTo from social
equality with white men and te prevent the Intsrmar-
rfage of blacks and whites, the negro la fast dlaa[>pear-
tug. As years go by the population of the full-bJooded

Mason Mitchell, actor, rough rider
and frltnd of President Roosevelt, ha«
added to bts achievements by exploring
Tibet and killing animals wblcb few
white men have slain, says th« New
York Herald.
Those who doubt that there are tab
Ina. gorals, aerowa and blue bears will
absolve Mr. Mitchell from even a ans
plclon of nature faking by going to th«
American Museum of Natural History
and looking at the skins, skulls and
horns which have Just been received
from Mr. Mitchell. As a consul In the
Chinese city of Chungking he was not
far from the Tibetan border.
Mr. Mitchell accompanied his gifts
with scientific data and Is sending pho-
tographs showing wliat the anlinnl»
looked like In life.
Takins resemble antelopes, but are
much larger, a full-grown
specimen
weighing 1,000 pounds, The goral Is
a Himalayan goat of hermit proclivi
ties. The serow Is rare. It Is some
thing like a goat. The skins of the Ti
betan blue bear and clouded leopard
sent by Mr. Mitchell are excellent spe
cimens
The consul also killed several birds
above the clouds, and he writes from
Tacblnglu that when he gets a chance
to consult a natural history he will try
to identify them. If they are slightly
known to naturalists he win add them
to the collections In the museum.
Mr. Mitchell has also given to ths
museum scrolls once owned by a bnnd
of Tibetan priests, who lost them in
fighting a punitive expedition sent
against them by the French.
The
scrolla are covered with allegorical fig-
are« and are written In Sanscrit. They
are apparently centuries old.
Many lands have known Mason
Mitchell since he left his native town,
Onondaga, N. T. He was a scout In
the Riel rebellion In Canada, where he
<«htalned a liking for military life.
lAter he brought natives from Samoa
to th« Chicago World's Fair and took
them back in a 200 ton schooner. Ills
offices were also called Into play by
the San Francisco fair, for which he
brought many native« of the FIJI Isl
ands. He enlisted with the rough rid
ers and was wounded at San Juan
hill. On hla return from the Spanish-
American war he stumped th« Stat«

read the card perplexedly. “But I
don't know any Miss Heles Foetor.
Are you sure that it isn't an agent.
Mary?1’
“She said you would know—that you
were expecting her,” Mary replied.
“Very well, I will tie down at once,”
Mrs. Armes answered. She put the Inst
touches to her pretty afternoon gown
and went slowly downstairs, trying to
recall any ¡xisslble forgotten Mias Fos
ter. At the parlor door she stopped.
It was an agent—the showy dress, the
exaggerated appearance of ease, the
sharp, searching glance all betrayed It:
an agent, moreover, of the type she
most disliked, aud who had lied to her.
Involuntarily her face grew stern, but
before aha could speak the woman an-
swered her thought.
"Yes, I lied. It wns the only way
to get at you. I don’t supjiose I’ll
make anything by it, but at least I
could get in out of the cold a minute.
Mayb« you’d have lied, too, if you had
tramped five hours aud made fifteen
cents.”
For a moment th« two women, the
gentle, dsltcately cared for one and the
bitter daughter of toil, looked at «ach
other; then Mrs. Armes stepped to her
tea table, arranged for her afternoon’s
callers, amd lighted her alcohol lamp.
“I am afraid I shall not care for
what you have to show,” she said, “but
at least I want to give you a cup of
ten before you go out In the cold
again.”
The young woman stared, started to
say something, and apparently changed
her mind. She answered only in mono
syllables to Mrs. Armes' attempts at
conversation, and accepted the tea and
little cakes without a word of thanks.
Bnt when, the teacup and plate both
emptied. Mrs. Armes said, brightly.
“And now, snppoM we talk business,”
she shook her head.
“Not after that," ahe returned, Sh«
drew on her gloves, snd then rose.
“Now and then,” she said, “there’s
folks that treat me like Christian* I
try to be teonest over it, and there la
on« now and then. But I sever had
■ ny one treat me like a lady before,
and I ain’t going to spoil it.”
Mrs. Armes, returning to her fire, sat
a long time looking Into the flames. It
was a problem- she waa more puzled
over It than ever before.
"But at least," she sighed, "I’m glad
I gave her a cup of tea.”—Youth's
