The Labor Trouble.

The war, which has been going on
for years in the old countries between
labor and capital has at last, t,opened up in
its smost horrid shape at our own doors.
Millions of dollars have been locked up.
other millions have been criminally
destroyed, thousands of laborers have
been idle consumers, the law has been
openly violated and the courts have
been powerless to redress the wrong,
perpetrated, the lives of our citizens
have been put in jeopardy, the business
of whole sections has been paralized
and further excesses have been threat
ened which if carried into execution
will certainly involve our people in
deadly strife. Every good citizen,
whether capitalist or laborer, deplores
not only the present condition of af-
fairs but looks with horror upon the
possibilities of the future; and the ad-
justment of grievances, whatever they
may be, will be ehailed with joy through
out the whole country. We, therefore
read with more than ordinary interest
the address of Mr.. Powderly, the chief
of the order of Knights of Labor, and
hope his better and wiser counsel will
prevail among the members of that
large and powerful organization. The
good hts policy of arbitration can &C
complish is incalculable, and the evil
of pursuing the present excuses is pro-
portionately vast in its results. The
tendency in powerful organizations is
more in the direction of brute force
than in sober reason, and we fear unless
wisdom and temperance control the
advice here, every department of in
dustry, including our farming interest,
will suffer at the hands Of men injudi-
ciously managed. Loss and suffering
in this case must result and anarchy
and blood-shed may. Such possibilities
are reasonable and lead us to believe
that the present trouble in the West is
no triling matter and that our people
should treat it with the consideration
it deserves. Forewarned is forearmed
and preparation for fight is half the
battle. Whether arbitration is the
proper remedy remains to be seen. it at
least argues that wrong exists some
where, and the finding of that wrong
and its proper adjustment constitute
the problem of the hour.

The Revival Meetings.

The revival meetings conducted by
Messrs. Moody and Sankey at the Agri-
cultural Hall in Charleston steadily
grew in interest until they left that
city for Columbia on Monday morning
last. We were fortunate in being able
to attend these services on Saturday and
Sunday, and we bear testimony to the
great work done by these earnest and
consecrated gentlemen in the few days
appointed for them. There was deep
current Of religious feeling pervading
the entire congregation assembled on
each occasion and particularly was this
noticeable among the younger portion,
especially the students of schools and
cadets Of the Military Academy. There
was no excitement such as is often OBJ
jected to on such occasion, but the gos-
pei, presented as only Mr.. Moody and
others Of his character can present it,
was doing a great work by appealing to
the honest convictions and sober rea-
son of the people. Ministers and lay
men from every portion Of this State
and Georgia were in attendance and
we do hope that these persons imbibed
much of the spirit and sentiment of
this meeting, so that they may scatter
their influence in every portion of the
State. The preaching of Mr.. Moody
and the singing of Mr.. SanlSey cannot
fail to reach the hearts and consciences
of their audience and result in bless
inrs to eyerv one.

The Battle Ended,

Not unexpected, as some think, the
contest with President Cleveland end
ed last week by the passage of Senator
Edmunds' resolutions in the Senate by
strict party vote. The salvation of
the Republican party has always de-
pended upon perfect organization and
a close adherence to party faith, and
wherever weakness manifested itself
the party lash has been most vigorously
applied to bring the traitors back to
duty. In this contest the old method
was the final resort and all such men as
Senator Hoar and a half-doZen others,
who have been silent and by that
silence led the public to believe that
they were opposed to the contest, have
been made to realize that greater
power rests in party mandate than in
the law, the constitution or the well
fare of the country at large. They
have been literally driven at the end of
the lash to vote for a measure their
better judgment could not approve.
There was not enough of patriotism or
manhood in their composition to make
a firm stand for right and honor pos
siblc thing. While we pity this exhibit
tion of human weakness, we dispise
the corruptiEg influences which made
the degradation humiliating reality.
This vote, however, decides no ques-
tion, gives advantage ground to no
body and does not change the position
of the President in the smallest particu-
lar. He will continue to suspend, re-
move and appoint officers as he thinks
best for the public service; the Senate
will, we suppose, continue to reject
and confirm as the majority think best
for the Republican party, and thus we
shall 60 on to the end. Mr.. Edmunds
will hold the party reins and drive the
faithful steeds to the journeys end, ap-
plying the whip when they are jaded
and coaxing when restive. Mr.. Blaine,
perhaps, may be induced to play the
role of attendant in order that he may
be in close proximity and to keep him.
self acquainted with the methods ne
cessary for an expert manager. In the
mean time the Democrats will hold
the offices and see that the country
suffers no detriment while the Senate's
Majority under Mr.. Edmuads carries
the party to deeper depths OF shame.

10, he found his trunk had been
open and $3.50 stolen. Last night
the prisoner capped the climax of his
criminal audacity by committing a
robbery in the Police Station. A
japanese named Iuni, arrested for
assault and battery, was put in the
same cell with him. During the night
Yuen, itching for more booty, went
through his sleeping fellow-prisoner's
pockets, stealing about ten dollars.
Iuni discovering his loss on awak-
ing, compelled Yuen to disgorge.
So far Yuen has only been tried for
the Waikiki robbery, but his guilt is
at least morally certain in the other
cases mentioned. In his own state
ment he says he came to the country
in a sailing vessel about three years
ago, and that he was staying at
