The best sad most .practicable
solution of the problem ol child
labor would seem to be the pre
scription of reasonable minimum
age at which children may be
employed for a certain number
of noun per day only. This is
to say a child of the minimum
age (e. g. not under 14 yean)
con Id be required of allowed to
work four hours a day only,
while as the child grows older,
the length of his or her legal
day’s work might be increased.
This would rive the child some
opportunity tor rest and play and
attendance at school; while it
would st the same time save
from hardship such fa«nfllp« as
ate wholly dependent upon the
child labor for a bate existence.
An it is now, the child is, virtual
ly, made a slave by its ignorant
parents, dad is denied the op
portunity of even getting a com
mon school education, aa were
its parents and grand-parents.

the blood and ballet marked flag
of the famous 48th North Caro
lina Regiment. It is pierced by
many n ball, bears the blood
stains of battle, and is tattered
and torn by time, bat it is yet a
gallant sight fit to stir the blopd
of an old soldier. On its face
are written the names of the bat
tlefields Sharpsburg, Frederic ks
burg, Richmond, Fraser’s Farm,
Harper's Ferry and Bristoe Sta
tion. For some years the flag
has been in possession of Mr. B.
F. Hall of Wilmington. It came
to him from his made. Col. E.
D. Hall, who had borrowed it to
use at a reunion, and died with
out stating who its owner was.
Mr. Hall learned that there were
four companies from thi» county
In the 48th, and wrote to Mr. Tt.
A. Morrow about the flag, stat
ing that he deshed to pat it into
the hands of someone who had a
better claim to it than he. Mr.
J. R. Simpson answered this let
ter, saying that hit brother-in
law, Col. S. H. Walkup, was
Colonel of the 48th Regiment,
named in honor of Colonel Walk
op, and that the flag ought to
come here. The next train
brought the interesting relic.

Stouter Itoiw’i Tricky Amend
New York Pm
Senator Depew’s sudden dis
play of solicitude for the dis
franchised of the South, to take
the benevolent form of an
amendment to the resolution
providings direct vote forUnited
States Senators, is a moving and
a touching spectacle. It has
aroused the same degree of
enthusiasm aa would be inspired
by a law to extend the canal
system or to reduce railroad rates
to a mill a mile. This worthy
old fraud, who lags loperflou*
on the Senate stage except when
comedy holds the boards, sp
pears to be as resourceful in de
vice for self-preservation as the
moat unpopular of his fellows.
Hla concern for the victims of
"grandfather” clauses in new
State Constitutions and his
eagerness to alter the basis of
representation in Congress from
population to votes are aims so
deeply serious in a Senate
comedian as to invite search for
ulterior motive. To seek is at
once to find it, and find it is to
disclose the junior Senator as a
proxy tactician of no mean
ability. Mr. Depew’s ingenious
idea is to load up the resolution
for Senate reform with an amend
ment, that will furnish to the
Senators of the rotten borough
black belt a decent fpretext for
voting against it as a whole. All
these Democrats want a good
excuse to save their own skins.
And Senator Depew, the watch
dog of equal suffrage, has
come to their rescue. The
whole Senate ought to fall on
hia neck in gratitude.
A subscriber has presented the
Statesville Landmark with some
first new Irish potatoes, nearly
as large as a hen egg. The
planting was done last fall and
presumably daring the "dark of
the moon:”
