) THE EVENING TIMES, WASHINGTON, MONDAY, JANUARY 1, 1300. THE CHIMNEY SWEEP. CruclticM Practiced I'pon Children In UiiKlmid Tlilrtj "Veurw An. (From Good Word.) "Under the Influence of the new hu inanltv it Is bard for the people of this generation to believe the stories that are told of sufferings inflicted on children in this country but a few sears ago. Were they not only too well authenticated we would say that it v. as incredible that law could hae been so lax, religion so U3cless, and humanity so dead is to make these things possible. At the beginning of the Queen's reign there were many occupations in our land in which the little ones were ruthlessly tortured, but perhaps for cruelty and hideousness this one of chimney sweepers was neer equaled. How long U bad continued we cannot tell, but it is not much more than tventy years since it was hnally stamped out. I remember when 1 was a boy at school in the seventies hear ing about this aud being told that little thlldicn were then being sent up chim neys to sweep them, and it must hae been this that induced me to try climbing up and sliding down chimneys of a house building near, to the great destruction of my clothes and of less confluence m my guardian's cjos bruise and scratches innumerable on my body and legs 1 now bee that this must have been about the 3 ear 1STC, when the question of Uilb cm Dlojment of children was for the last lime brought up in Parliament and the abomi nation put an end to. A Parliamentary committee had been appointed a few soars before, and this proved up to the hilt the allegations, of the friends oJ the children legarding the degradation and suffering of those employed in this wort. One fact they stated was that out of SSI children they had examined oIy si. could write and twanty-six could reed, thougii iery lmnerfectH To Had the eil. however, in full swine and unobstructed activity we hae to go back another thirty jeer, to the time When Lord Shaltesburj bioaght the mat ter before Paihanient and earned on a vigorous crubade until he induced the Leg islature to pass the chimney sweeper bill of 1SCO In that year he stated in the Houe of CommoHs that to his personal Knowledge a child of four and a half was being mmU up dail to sweep chimneys. He had seen, he said, the little ones when oil" worl. sleopins;. quite naked, on heaps of soot They weie never washed, for their owners baid "What s the good-" The often uonlracted a loatbome and painful dis ease, which v.'nt b the name of "sooty cancer." It vas shown that oei all the country children from four to eight eai.s of age were constantly emplojed in thl? work. The majority of them were orphan" the rest bartered or sold by brutal patents They had to be taken joung and trained to their bideoub woik or pushing their wav through long, narrow, tortuous passages choked up with soot. To clean this away they had to moe up and down by pressing oerj joint of their bodies again! the hard and "often broken surface of the chimneys To prevent their hands and knees from streaming with blood the children were rubbed with brine before a M.ioug Are to harden the flesh. To drive them up the cliiniuejs when they hesitated burning straw was applied to their feet, and this was also found useful to bring them .iround if the fainted or t-tu'-k in the fiue That is no fanes picture thai Dickens draws in the beginning of 'Oipei Twist" of the sort of masters the children bed. The reader -will leuiember that Gamfield. after stunning bis donke to nak- it stano" still, walks up to the workhouse gate whereon was a notice that aud OUei Twist were ottered to aujone who woull appi entice him to any calling. Gamflcld lefiects that this would just suit bim, and steps in before ihe iK.ard to make his ofter. "If tht parish oukl like him to learn a light, pleasant trade in a good. Vpectable ohiwbley sweepin bizniss 1 wants a 'iwetitiee and am icadj to lake him." The board thought a little "It's a naMv busie." aaid one gentleman Young boys bate been hmothered in climincjs before now." said another. "That t aoau3e they damjHMl the straw afore tbe lit it In the chlrably to make 'em come down agin," bW Gamfield, "that's all ymoke and n blase. vereas smoke m t a no use at all in mania' a boy come down, for it oly sends him to sleep, an xbrUj, what be likes Roys is rj obstinit, an serj Jatcy. gea'lmen. and there's nothink llke a good hot blaze to make 'em come dev.a with a run. It s humane, teo, geB'lmen. acause. eten if they're Ktwck in the chtablej. roatin' their feet makea 'em struggle to hextneate theii--eives." The board. howeer maintained that it was a nahty trad" and seeing that it was i-c thej beat down Gamfield to . 19 shillings, and agreed to gie him Oiitci with that Such wero the guardians and masters the children then bad Lstet in xb earn book, we find Dill Sike aud his friends complaining bitterly of recent leg islation which had reduced th supply of dtmitiutne children that wre needed bj them in their "business" to put through the small apertures of the windows to open far theni the doors of bouses they mean to rob It wat their custom to hire bos from the master chimney sweeper at so much per job. Lard t"hti.lur fclireelf had a f-allj to Inty many of tbo boys from their ma-te-s that ln might reeue them and 1up their otlucatei and set up in life. He interests: J other in them and before legislation d'd icnythtut, man) wcte saved from their t i nble life But though there were huniai e men m Uaglaad, it is surprising to learn how strong was the opposition against ar legislative interference with the childran't lot. Petitions were sent to Parliament againet Shaftesbury's bill The insurant oarnpauies of London and Other ci'ii-s cslatnered against it. Pamphlets and at ti des were written to destioy it and it needed all Shaftesbury's solemn eloquence, becked up by the lerribla facts he pro duced, to obtain a majority in 140. But though the eil was then scotched it wan by no means killed. It went oa more s-eoretly. but now and again the pub k were startled by hiring of a boy's deaU in a flue. There Eeemed to ha a, recrudes cence of the evil about 1872. for in that year there were several fatalities In Oc tobsr. 1872. a 1oj was sent up the flue of a fernery in Staffordehirc. Not appea-ing i: iifteon minutes, the flue was hattily op' ned and the boy found dead. Soon after ai other ,yory similar death took p ac2 at Canterbury, but this time publii on'iiion was roused, and the master was senteneej to sis. months' imprisonment. This had the most salutary effect. It was seen ..htt th Iniquity would be no longe- tolerate ", Mud other jnelhode had to b emplojeJ for swoeplng chimnejs. The legislsUon of 1876 made that form of child torture and degra dation a thing of the past. Another Indention "evded. (Frew SJie dncese lVt.)
