One, General Seth Williams, who had

repelled the advance coldly. He was in
no mood to remember ancient friendships.
or to recall pleasantly his service in the
army of which he was now a prisoner,
or under that flag which he had
betrayed. He had, however, another re-
quest to make. His men were starv-
ing; they had lived, he said, ON two ears of
corn day for several days. Would Grant
supply them with food? There was a
train of cars at Lynchburg loaded with ra-
tlons wnlch had come from Danville for
his army. Would Grant allow them to be
distributed among the prisoners? Grant,
however, told them that this train had
been captured the day before by Sheridan.
Ihus, at the moment of his surrender Lee
was ABSOLUTELY dependent for supplies
upon his conqueror. Grant, of course, ac-
quiesced in the request and asked how
many rations Lee required. But the rebel
General declared that he could not answer
the question. He had no idea of his own

PTTsBURG is agitated over the free school
book question, subject which has been dis
cussed more or less in educational circles of
this city. There is strong movement in
Pittsburg in favor of adopting the systsm as
an improvement on the present method of re-
curing each pupil to supply his own books.
On the other hand. the sentiment in Brook
lyn, where the plan has been in operation for
year or two, is generally to the effect that
the hundred thousand dollars invested in
books would have been much more proftably
spent in providing new school houses and
better accommodations, for the children. AS
very few cities aresin possession of school
fund sufficiently large for both purposes, the
Brooklyn argument against free books is one
that will hold good elsewhere.

THE PROBLEMS OF LABOR,

In the proceedings of the Trades Assembly
at Washington City there are many good and
commendable things, and, as rule, the spirit
observed in the debates and action was con-
sentative from the point of view occupied by
the members On the main question of eight
hours for days work there will be differ
ence of opinion which can be solved only by
practical experience. In the higher trades
and with the more skilled artisans the ques-
ton is not one of paramount Importance,
for here the relations between the workman
arbitrary methods and more by his skill and
what may be termed his professional ability
and strength. 1t is something so new as to
be noticeable to hear in federated labor as
sembly an intelligent and candid argument
that inventive skill and mechanical produc-
ton are not inimical to manual labor. That
such an address was made and re-
oeived consderate attention, if not
unanimous agreement, marks a distinct
and important advance in the treatment of
labor topics by those most interested in their
wise and proper solution. The better judg-
ment of the country will, we think, be decid-
eddy with the Knights of Labor in their
statements of the just grievance workingmen
have with Chinese labor. The objection to
what is known as Chinese cheap labor" is
applied to every form Of contracted and Gas
sisted" emigrant labor whether it be Chinese
or European. It is un-American, and
against the genius of our government,
