The utter futility of the method of choosing county commis- sioners is being condemned and the New Haven county . muddle is strengthening the argument against | it, but whether it will serve to make any mere certain the passage of the bills now before the legislature which are designed to have the commission- ers elected by popular vote or ap- pointed by the governor remains to be The latter plan would be, per- hecause it present seen. haps, would tend to prevent the saloon be- ing dragged into politics.

The school children have atterced the sand in their efforts to make u| sliding place and I notice It is (lunti everywhere on the sidewalks whevo | there is a bit of ice. «Can the owner be held responsible for people who fall on these ‘“sliding places” when he has' already tried to remedy the difficulty by putting on sand? is it up to the school children? It seems {6 me that most of our boys and girls are old enough to Kknow better than to do what going to make it dangerous for pedestrians. It they do not know, it would be well for the teachers and principais to instruct them, but better still I think the city should pass an ordi- nance forbidding children to make' jcy paths on the sidewalks.

Good law and sound common sense are embodied in the ruling ~of the supreme court of the United States that under the white slave law women as well as men can be indicted and that both the parties to these unsa- vory episodes are equally guilty be- fore the law.

Us They are Bill. (Congregationalist.) The national house of representa- tives has committed a serious blunder in passing the bill which prohibits the inter-marriage of persons of white and négro blood. in the District of Columbia. The certain evil effects of such a' measure have not been comprehended by many members of congress. . Otherwise how could theve have Dheen the overwhelming vote in its favor which was recorded 238 for, 60 agdinst, 126 not voting? The bill provides that if a person having one-cighth or more of Negro blood marries a white person in the District of Columbja both shall be liable to a flne of $1,000 to $5,000 or imprisonment from one to five vears, or both fine and imprisonment: and a minister officiating at such a marriage shall be fined from to $1,000 or subject to 1mprizonment from six months to a year, or both. Many friends of the colored people and most colored people themselves question the wisdom of intermarriage because of the present attitude of society toward such fixed marriages. The fact that in the departments at ‘ington there has been no inter- mariiage of white and colored clerks during tihe last half-century shows that there is no urgent necessity of such legislation there, in any view of the case. But it is an insult and indefensible discrimination against colored American citizens to select them out for such restrictive legisla- tion by the national government. Such laws exist in the southern states and their effect has been to encour- age the worst habitual immorality between the races and to deprive colored women of legal defense against betrayal by white men and of support for their offspring. If the purpose of the hill, as is pretended, is to keep the races from mixing, it is sure to defeat its own end. Already the races are o mixed that no one can determine the point where one ends and the other bhegins. This mixing has occurred almost en- tirely outside of wedlock in states where laws pronibit intermarriage. This w Wwill work in Washington similiar laws work in the South— increase the number of illegiti- mate children, to degrade such chil- colored women, to encour- age immoral white men in their devillsh practice of preying upon any girl or woman, who may be as white as themselves but have been placed outside the pale of the law by the fact that she has one-cighth Negro blood in her viens, while white wom- en may compel the fathers of their children to recognize the legal sta- tus of children and assume respon bility for their maintenance and edu- cation, The congressmen supposed that they would ing the mixture of races by passing such a measure are on the wrong track, and all friends of sound mor- ality and justice should lose no time In communicating with their senators in protest against this measure In order that the bill may not be passed by the senate, as there is great dan- ger that it may be useless strong public sentiment is,manifested against it, Who innocently be check- Parents and Children, (Providence Journal.) A few years ago Gedrge Bernard Shaw wrote a long and vigorous essay on this subject, and it would be in- teresting to have his views on one of the new laws in New Jersey. The law reverses the application of the fa- miliar Biblical pronouncement as to the “sins of the parents” by providing that the sins of the children shall be visited upon the parents. In Trenton a man and his wife were recently in- dicted by the grand jury because two of their children were accused crime.

The wisdom and the fundamental justice of such a law are scarcely to be questioned, although it may he granted that its arbitrary enforcement might lead to many instances of an- Just action. To hold a father and mother responsible for every act of an unruly son up to the age of twenty-one might conceivably resulr in some cases of intolerable oppres- sion, for the preblem of training children into sensible and well-be- have! citizens is one that has baffled thousands of respectable and scientious parents. The psychology of the child has not yet been mastered, except by a very few experts difficult c it seems impc make practice accord with theory. Nevertheless, there must be painful recognition of the fact in this age that parental neglect prevails. It usually dominates home life in the name of kindne: tolerance, “letting the child’s individuality expand” and a dozen pleasing sophistries, but es- sentially it is nothing than ne- glect. The reaction from the paren- tal tyranny and puritanical severity that were common in an older gener- ation has been extreme. Nine times out of ten, if experts were to look be- hind the effect for the cause, the would find that “delinquent children” are due to “‘delinquent parents. | The New Jersey law forcibly em- phasizes the truth that those who bring children into the world are un- der every moral obligation to develop them into decent, industrious and law- abiding citizens. 1t is due to the com- munlity as well as to the children.
