NOTES AND COMMENTS government AND r u i; LA i; IS 1 > K I KS. THS Unionist Party, which reckon* extirpating' the Boars by proclamations. :t,¡. bo:m of late expending" a goo,1 deal of its breath on the vituperation of Irishmen, his to lie hopod that the results in South Africa 111 iy not prove a parallel to the sequel here. Tli • Irish have replied by successfully sui i -li- ing up the Government's project of a con- solidated Factory Act. It was an enterprising design, and one which would have beeii 'i;-ne- lioiI alike to employers and employed, o it no one 011 either side of the Hons ■ )f Com.nons can predicate linality of a consoli- dated Act which excludes from its provisions so large all area of the employment of labour as tlt ii. occupied by charitable and religious laundries. v tr m Having paid this tribute to the effectiveness fIt the Irish Opposition we can afford to review tile question impartially, upon its merits, It is not a fresh bone of contention. Tie subject was fought out during the passage of the Liberal Government's Factory Act of It is to factory legislation what motions tor the introduction of the ballot used to be tli iltys of Parliamentary Reform Bills -a hardy annual. In a certain measure laundries lost their exclusive privileges by being in- cluded within the regulations of the Acts of 1801 and 189. Still, though the outworks were carried by the admission of the that the employment of labour in trade laundries was not distinguishable from the em- ployment of labour in factories, the citadel of charitable and religious laundries rem lined untouched. Inspection of the employ d. applied beiK n'cially to other industries, was tabooed here. A -giittii-y ago, in the good old Tory times, the exception would have been justified by impassioned appeals to "the sacred rights of property." The sacred rights of property have long since given way to the sacred rights of humanity, and still tie: laundries remain exempt. They are shell ve 1 by sufferers from the disease known as odium theolof/'cion. < The case alleged for keeping Governm-mb inspection at a distance is that in many parts of the country, notably in Ireland, laundries worked by religious people exist primarily f,-i- the religious purpose of 00mbating the person- age who mischief still for idle bands to do." But, however excellent the originating motives, laundry work in convents and charit- able institutions must condescend in practice to ;he sordid criterion -wtpplied to '1 industrial occupations. Does it pay Y Either it does or it does not ? If it does not. iiie laundry will, except so far as it supplies ';8 own household needs, soon be elbowed o;u of existence. If it does, it must pay through tli" patronage of the public. It is then indis- tinguishable, so far as the workers are con- cerned, from laundries conducted 011 puiviy mundaue principles. It will be exposed to s-bo same sudden inrushes of business, to tii" vr.e: i!lil) -1-iolis calls of its custom_«rs, to the sano necessity of making both ends meet. These conditions in the lay world tend to excessive hours for the employed and imperfect precau- tions for their health. Factory Acts are not inventions for the encouragement of religious enterprises, however useful in intention t'i -e may be. They are simply measures to pros M ve the health of the employed. The constitutions of women and girls may be wrecked is effectively in a laundry presided over by n is as in a steam laundry kept "up-to-(Iztt) by a modern Legree. This being the simple logic of the case, the shifts to which the opponents of Government inspection are reduced become positively ludicrous. When the subject was before Parliament in 1895, the Liberal Government of that (lay was assured that the objection to inspection was an objection to male inspectors,, female celibate institutions being indisposed to the intrusion of the male sex. The ot) e day Mr. Dillon declared that "female inspectors were the worst." Perhaps the drollest argument was that also advanced by Mt-. Dillon, that "the intrusion of inspectors' visits would be fatal to the maintenance of discipline." We are reminded of the story of Dr. Busby, the famous headmaster of West- minster School. Charles II., visiting the school, noticed that Busby did not remove his academical cap in the Royal presence It would not do, the great pedagogue explained, for the boys to suppose there was a greater man than their headmaster. A similar incentive to rebellion would be furnished, Mr. Dillon evidently supposes, by the sight of the submission of a Lady Superior to an inspector's requirements. < < For these reasons we cannot congratulate the Irish upon their defeat of the Government. Still less can we compliment the Government upon its readiness to capitulate to opponents whom it denounces as both obstructive and ineffective. It is said that the Liberal Ministry of 1895 retreated along the same road, and Mr. Balfour derived some pleasure from the reminiscence. But in 1895 the Irish were informal allies, and their desertion would have reduced the Government to a minority. The Ministers of to-day are incessantly boasting of their majority. The condemnation of their surrender by one of their supporters, Sir J. Stirling Maxwell, as cowardly," though true as a general description of their foreign and domestic policy, missed the mark on this occasion. The Ministry surrendered not because they were cowardly, but because the ba rt of the Tory Party is not in Factory Acts "their heart is in the Highlands," To pass the Act as it stood would have involved the of two or three (lays of sport. And therefore, as Mr. John Burns justly said, "Girls would be kept in the handicapped laundries for long hours on low wages and under insanitary conditions because one class ot laundries had been exempted," and because th Party loves grouse better than it jovrs poor women who have no votes.

CHRISTIANITY AND THE WORKING…
CHRISTIANITY AND THE WORKING CLASSES. ALDRESS BY A WELL-KNOWN MINISTER. The Ray J. M. Gibbon (for many years minister of Castle-street Congregational Chapel, Swan8e.i) in an address recently delivered at Hanley on "Some things that Christianity has done for the Working Classes," concluded a masterly oration as follows :— It gave you a DAY OF REST. It wrung from the law an acknowledgement of your rights. It humanised punishment. It abolished torture. It built the hospital. It sent Mercy into the prison cell to remind Justice that even the felon was human. It entered the sad domain of the asylum, and by the light of its own Truth it bade men read the shining legend of the name of God upon the idiot's brow. It has won, even against the will of its so-called friends, for you the freedom of thought and liberty of conscience, even though that liberty be often used against itself. For the divine right of kings it has substituted the human rights of man—and, here you stand to-day a class respected, courted, feared. All men's eyes are turned towards you. As the courtiers of Louis XIV., who, when the monarch asked what o'clock it was, replied "Whatever your Majesty pleases," so all parties are prepared to place their watches at your majesties' clocks; to dance to your piping, or weep to your lament- ing. When Jekyll was told that the king's guards had cheered Queen Caroline, he said, "The extinguisher i" tnking fire." Yes, the extinguisher is taking fire; the people who were once the extinguishers of popular rights areafire with enthusiasm, and patrician lips have learned to pronounce democracy without visible straining of the vocal organs or contor- tion of the features. No canaille, rabble, or mob, but the People- with a capital P and I dare to say that you, forming part of the sovereign people of Englaud, of which all other royalty is the figure-head and symbol, are a class whose existence apart from Christianity would be simply impossible. And it has not done with you yet awhile. Liberty shall describe a still larger circle in England much shall be done which as yet is undreumt d by the most audacious reformer. The progress of the future will shame alike the optimist and the pessimist. Our hopes, in their smallnesp, are often criminal as our fears. This is God's world, and here His kingdom shall come, and His will be done. But it wdl not be done by strength or numbers; not by the red fool fury of revolu- tion nor by the mad misrule of anarchy nor bv the wild talk of professional agitators, whose trade it is to be always exploding, and who are nothing if not furious. ]No! neither two, nor two million wrongs can make one right. Plunder will enrich no class, nor will spoilation improve any condition. The devil's loans do not satisfy, his apples are apples. The laws are made, and cannot be unmade. Majorities in or out of Parliament cannot alter the state of things. According to the nature of things, moral good attracts other good being good is the condition of getting good. I would, therefore, affectionately counsel you in these days of agitation and combination. Remember that the material is founded on the moral. Begin reforms at home. Live up to the level of the liberty you now have. Be worthy of the age. Be worthy of the train, telegraph, and printing press. These are your servants. Be not like some sottish masters, degraded in the presence of menials. Be sober, practise the local option you already possess of leading a temperate life. Be chaste. Be gentle. Be pure and kind. Be Christian; Christianity gives you an ideal. A boy in Dublin asked by an inspector of schools if his father was a Christian, replied Yes, but he has not worked much at it lately." But he might have worked at it constantly had he wished, for it is everywhere possible, without hindrance to any honest calling. American coins have on one side the words "United States: five cents," "one dollar," and on the other side In God is our trust." So a man may be a potter or a collier on one side of him, and a Christian on the other side. Milton said of Queen Christina, She may abdicate the throne, but can never lay aside the Queen," and you may put off your Sunday best," but need never doff the Christian. Put on the Lord Jesus Christ," for that is the garment you may wear always. In that robe men have walked through flames and taken no hurt, neither did the smell of fire pass cn them. In that robe you may live every day the clay of the potter will not defile, nor the dust of the coal-pit begrime it. Adopt this character, and then, to such a class no parliament or power in any realm can deny you anything you demand. Moral good, divinely magnetic, will draw all good to itself. I maintain, then, that your present liberty and privileges are due to the partial recognition by law and society of the Gospel estimate of man, and that your hope for future good rests upo ) the assurance that the brotherhood of all men in the Fatherhood of God shall be fully recognised in human coun- cils and expressed in human institutions and enactments. If I were to say that we were all Conserva- tives here to-night, I should probably evoke a mild protest; and if I said that we were all Liberals, I should provoke expressions of dissent. And yet we are all Conservative in that we wish to conserve whatever is good; and all Liberals in that we believe that the best way to conserve a good thing is by making it better still. And that we have so much worth conserving, and also such immense hopes of yet better things, is due to our Lord Christ, Who, by His grace, has blessed our past, and by His promise already enriched our future.
