THE WORKINGMEN's HOLIDAY.

The Inauguration of a proposed national
labor holiday, on Monday, at Chicago and
New York, was gratifying success, thou
sands of true laborers being in line, and other
thousands crowding the streets as spectators.
The utmost good feeling prevailed and the
enthusiasm was fully shared by employers, who
lent every encouragement and aid to the
demonstration. 1t is healthful sign when
employer and employe join hands in such
hearty fashion.
The evils that have come out of labor agita-
tons and strikes have, as rule, been the
work of a few unprincipled men who have
little or no claim to being honest working
men. The men in the mills, and factories,
and Offices, and shops have come to under
stand this, and are drawing the line against
the professional and hummer 'workingman."
At Chicago this wise discrimination was made
plain beyond the shadow of doubt When
it was arranged that grand annual holiday
should be established on the first Monday in
September, the Socialists and professional
agitators were quick to ask place among the
men who work, and who prefer treason to
rufianism.' Their impudent request was as
promptly refused, and it was decided that no
incendiary utterances would be tolerated and
no lawlessness encouraged. Shut out from
respectable fellowship the blood and thunder,
beer-guzzling mob had their demonstration on
Sunday. The contrast between the two DEM
onstrations was gratifying to all law-abiding
citizens. Mondays parade was a success in
every feature, and the good feeling was uni
versal It did much to reassure all who would
like to embark in manufacture who are de-
tered by the infammatory speeches Of the
Socialists and their Kind.
The general public will rejoice with the
workingmen of the country in the establish
ment of a national labor holiday. The indi-
cations are that it will spread from New York
and Chicago to every city and manufacturing
town in the land. Organized labor will carry
it everywhere, and make it one of the Ma
TONS chief holidays. Guided by increas-
ing knowledge, these labor organizations
will do much good, if the wisdom shown on
this occasion is carried into every deliberation
affecting the rights and interests of labor.
Workingmen have none too many holidays,
and it is well to have one set aside particu-
larly for them, and which it will be their
pride to make grand and profitable ami
versary.

Farming Lumber Interest,"
R.Iis,ou.-Othsr Msuers OF Interest.
Correspondence OF the Richmond Dispatch
ABINGDON, VA, April Is, 1885.
Farmers have quit complaining of the
loss Of the wheat crop, and deplore the
frequent recurrence Of cold weather,
which retards the growth of grass and
interferes with complaining.
| learn from the bank officers here
that the outlook for business here does
not indicate boom or depression.
The failure Of the grass crop in Russell
and some other counties last year had
a tendency to force poor cattle on the
market, and hence there is more need
of money among the graziers. Good
paper can be discounted to moderate
degree, and there will be money enough,
perhaps, to sustain the two principal in
terests that centre in this town-to-
bacco and lumber.
There are five tobacco-fsctories here.
Besides these there are several dealers
in leaf-tobacco, one cigar manufacturer.
All these concerns have done good
business and are likely to continue.
In the lumber line one firm has ex-
tensive contracts for white lumber, to
be delivered on the railroad, which
they in turn have contracted to furnish
to northern dealers. Two other con-
Germs are extensive manufacturers OF
white wood, having a number of mills
in operation. Representative Of these
firms haze recently returned from Bos-
ton and other eastern cities, whittier
they went with view to the business
of the coming season. They all report
the outlook favorable.
The old Floyd homestead, which has
been used as college under the aus
pices of the Presbyterian Church, I'M
der the name of the Stonewall Jackson
Institute, has been sold to the Govern
ment as site for the United States
courthouse, and thus one Of the most
beautiful of the historic landmarks of
the fine old town will disappear. We
all hope that the Government architect
will prove a man of taste. The Col
lege Committee will build elsewhere.
A powerful revival of religion has
resulted from recent meetings at the
Presbyterian and Methodist churches
here, and there have been large Access
sions to the Church.
There is some prospect hear of
the building of the Imboden road lead

Ex-Governor Wyndam Robertson,

keep him yet among the friends who
love and esteem this admirable old man.

Did Not Materialize."

During the presidential campaign we
were frequently told by the Radical
prophets that If Mr.. BLAINE was not
elected millions of dollars would be
locked up in Wall street, which other
wise would be invested 1t the South.
Well, Mr.. BLAINE was not elected
that fact is, we believe, admitted by
every one except the presiding genius
ofthe T15nas' tall tower--and thepro-
phecy about the lockingup of capital has
shared the fate Of a good many
other prophecies that have emansted
from the same source on the eve Of an

General Lawton's Case.

We have repeatedly said that if Gen.
eral LAwToN, when he entered the
army, did not take the oath to support
the Constitution Of the United States,
the fourteenth amendment imposes no
disabilities upon him. We stated the
other day that General LAwToN in
talking to the reporter for Georgia
paper did not set up this claim, but
complained that the point was raised
against him at so late day. Subse-
auent information leads us to believe
that General LAwToN has no rscollec-
ton whatever Of having taken such an
oath, and therefore does not con-
slider himself disqualified, as Of course
he is not II he did not take the oath in
question before engaging in rebel
lion." General LAwToN is so well
known here in Richmond, and has so
many staunch friends amongst our peo-
pie, that there will be general feeling
Of satisfaction il ii turns cut that the
distinguished Georgian can 90 to St. Pc
tersburg. The question was treated as
purely legal or constitutional one in
ell that we wrote on the subject. We
published, too, several ably-written
communications combating our srgu-
ments. We shall ell come out victors
II the oath is not in the way because
In that case both sides can eonscien-
tiously rejoice over General LAwToN's
acceptance Of the Office.

A Polite Cat.

A member Of the British Geological
Society tells this story, so it must be
true ~ once had cat who always
sat up to the dinner-table With me, and
had his napkin round his neck, and his
plate and some fish. He used his paw,
Of course but he was very particular
and behaved with extraordinary deco
rum. When he had finished his fish |
sometimes gave him a piece OF mine.
One day ne was not to be found when
the dinner-bell rang, so we began with
out him. Just as the plates were pus
round for the entrec puss came rushing
upstairs and sprang into his chair with
two mice in his morth. Before he could
be stopped he dropped mouse on to
his own plate and then one on to mine.
He divided his dinner with me, as |
divided mine with him.

STANTON.
A Pastor TO Leave Stnunton.


Correspondence OF the Richmond Dispatch
APRIL 20, 1885.
On yesterday congregational meet
ing was held at the Second Presbyte-
rian church at the request Of the pastor,
Rev. j. Z. Booker, whose call to the
co-pastorate of the First church at
Charleston, West Virginia, was noticed
in this correspondence last week.
Mr.. Booker asked the congregation to
unite with him in a request to Lexing-
ton Presbytery that the pastoral rela-
ton existing between him and them
should be dissolved. After consider
ing the request, the congregation, by
rising vote, consented to their PASTORS
wish, but adopted paper expressive
of their reluctance in so doing, and
stating that it was only upon his state
ment that he thought his path of duty
led him to take the step that the con-
gregation had acceded to his wishes.
A feeling tribute was at the same time
paid to the Christian character and
faithful labors of Mr.. Booker during
the seven years Of his pastorate.

wheat and War.

In commenting upon the speculation
in wheat consequent upon the prospect
Of war between England and Russia,
the Philadelphia Times says:
AS American wheat is almost GER
tain to be shut out Of France and Ger
many by the high duties which have
been established by those countries, the
war between England and Russia, ifen-
gagged in, will not be likely to increase
tho demand for American wheat, except
in England and in the south Of Europe.
The extent Of the increase in the Eng.
lish demand will depend entirely on
how greatly the war interferes with the
supply Of Indian wheat. But granting
that England must buy her entire sup
ply from the United States, II would re-
quire less than forty millions Of bush
els to fill the place Of the Indian wheat
consumed in Great Britain last year.
This would still leave surplus OF forty
or fifty millions to 60 and come on"
"They 1.-THE speculators) should try
to find foreign market for every pos
sible bushel Of it, and booming the
prices up to fancy figures certainly will
not aid in securing this desirable OBJ
iect. What is wanted is TO sell the
wheat to our foreign neighbors and get
their money for it, not put the price
so high that nobody will want it, and
thus leave it on our hands,"
The New York Herald takes SINH
lar view of the matter. After stating
that the danger of the speculative
fever hes in it's capacity to wholly de-
stroy our foreign market for wheat,
and that high prices discourage exporta-
ton and offer inducements for rival
wheat-growing countries to increase
their production, the Herald says:
"Eyen in the event OF war these
influences will have free play, because
il is admitted that the Russian crop has
already been well distributed, and is
thus removed beyond the reach Of any
blockade of Russian ports. This leaves
India and Australia-both English pos
sessions-in the field as bidders for the
wheat custom of Europe and in full
competition with our farmers. To push
prices beyond that which will allow
profit to export shuts off our foreign
market and results in stagnation at
home until prices may again adjust
themselves to the normal condition"
