MISCELLANEOUS ITEMS.

AN IMPENDING STRIKE.-A special
dispatch to the Harrisburg Patriot
from Altoona, Pa, says: mo little
excitement has bsen caused by the
importation of colors'l laborsrs to op-
crate the coal mines and iron works
in the Btcad Top and Huntingdon
coal and iron districts. The 6rs; in
stallment, cons sting Of carload Of
negroes, has reached Huntingdon.
They were brought from Virginia BY
Robert Hare Powell. collisry operator
and iron master, at Sa1ton, to work
in that region. There are the same
kind of complaints among tho miners
and iron-worksrs that there were on
Pacific coast against the Chinese. II
is maintained that extensive arrapg ge.
msnts have been made 10 supply tn.
labor market from Virginia, and the
white collisrs sud laborers are terri.
bly, excited over the matter. The
ninSrs of Osceola have determined ts
strike, and as the miners throughout
the entire coal district are rising IT
rebellion against tho movement, thsr.
is a fair prospect Of serious end s'r.
guinsry trouble at no distant date
The operators originating the colorec
importation state that they are de
terninsd to run their works as thsy
rlruse, and will call upon tho author

Railroad Bills.
POst.l


The interests of thu day is concen-
tering on the discussion of the rail-
road bill in the legislature. The
house bill. reported by the committee
and known as the Chenoweth bill, is
now under consideration, and there
has been considerable skirmishing
over preliminaries. The results so
far are claimed to be Indicative of a
disposition to reject the bill. We are
given to understand that the general
feeling is that the Chenoweth bill,
though well-intended and deliberately
drawn, is too stringent and admins
trative in its character, and may
prove prolific of very undesirable
strife upon general constitutional
grounds. The bill not being in our
hands, we cannot treat it in detail,
and if we could, space and time
would forbid, since we learn that it
is of great length and bristling with
specifications. But the general fact
remains evident that the bill is strin-
gent one in good many particulars,
and is bitterly opposed by the railroad
interests. The Post takes the ground
that it is singularly impolitic not to
say unjust, to impose upon the rail-
road companies such restrictions
that would make the provisions
repugnant to them and which
they declare will act as an i'm
pediment in the way of carrying
on their legitimate business. We are
told that Senator Terrell's bill is much
more acceptable to them, and the
question may very pertinently be
asked, why should the legislature take
"header" into troubled waters, in
preference to wading cautiously into
a dangerous sea of contingencies and
experiment? We predict that no
legislation really offensive to the rail
roads will practically be sustained.
Why then waste time and manIfac-
ture casus belli when both parties,
state and railroad capitalists, should
be fast and sympathetic friends :?
Never was a greater call upon the
legislature for true deliberation and
extreme caution.

ton indicating the annulment of the
lease, and all voting for postponing
the subject in favor of its ratification.
The result of this quasi test was a
slight showing in favor of the oppo-
nents of the lease, but so conflicting
are the circumstances, and even the
dispatches covering that point, that
we are at sea concerning the real SEN
timent and imagine that nothing def
mite has been signified. 1t is unques-
tionably a very important point,
and should be seriously con-
sidered. Even if the assumption of
the control of the penitentiaries be
regarded as impolitic and the
lease system be Endorsed by large
majority, the two great questions re-
main for serious consideration: l.
Whether the state has made the best
contract possible. 2. Is it safe and
polite to grant so long lease as tif-
teen years to any parties and for any
consideration Fifteen years is the
half of the average human life, and it
seems to be a tremendous experiment
to place the control and treatment of
the state convicts for such period in
the hands of business firm, however
accredited.
The people will surely hold the
legislature to strict accountability
for the manner in which this grave
matter shall be settled.

Conservative Legislation.
Fort Worth Gazette. ]


The legislature should take a firm
and decided stand upon railroad legis-
lation. 1t should vote down by an
overwhelming majority all such meas
ures as the commission bill, which are
calculated to destroy that confidence
in the securities of Texas railroads
that is necessary to facilitate, encour-
age and promote their construction.
A decided vote against all attempts
to crush out railroad building in
TexaS-attempts conceived in preju-
dice and advocated either from
hatred or worse motive, that
of obtaining cheap notoriety. The
people have be; n seeking information
in regard to the railroad problem
for the past two years, and are be-
coming convinced that railroads have
been beneficial rather than detri-
mental to the prosperity of the state,
and there is yet field for the bestowal
of these benefits. The people do not
demand from the legislature of Texas
harsh, extreme, restrictive or unjust
legislation. They only demand that
existing evils and perceptible wrongs
be corrected They require no theo-
retical legislation designed to embar-
rass the progress of railway develop
ment in Texas The Gazette trust;
that THO legislature win exhibit
