We think the Richmond press has exhi-
bited wise moderation In its structures on
the attempt OF the Knights TO enforce social
equality between the races. They have
II aintained the dignity Of the good people
Of Richmond without stirring those fierce
passions which they might so readily fan
into fame, - lide,oatsr Inder.
TIE Inder does the press Of Richmond
simple Justice. Within the last six months
the papers here have hsd to exercise a WISE
discretion In regard 10 two important ques
tions--lh boycott and the subject Of race
equality. II was within the power Of the
papers to divide this community into two
hostile camps on those two questions,
and thus to have brought about most de-
plorable condition Of things. 1t would
have damaged Richmond for years. The
thourhtIess sdyocaled q course which
would bare made the judicious grieys.
The people at large have Justified and
sustained the papers In not endeavoring TO
make . permanent breach either IN the

Their Allies.

We referred in our last to Mr.. SHERMAN
and Mr.. BLAINE as the two most prominent
aspiiants TO the nomination OF the NationT
Republican Convention Of 1883 for Presi-
dent Of the United States. We also quoted
an extract from one Of MIR. SHERMAN's
speeches In the United States Senate In OPP
position to the BLAIR bill. We quote be.
low an extract from speech made 10 Phila-
delphia last Saturday nigbt-not years ago,
moi even last year. II will be seen that Mr..
BLAINE Is q genuine Bourbon in that so far
as sectionslism Is concerned he learns mo-
thing and forgets nothing. lie Is con
suminste hypoerite. He feels none OF the
luminosity towards the South which he pre-
tends To feel. lie laughs In his sleeve at the
few among his auditors who are foolish
enough to be moved by his deceitful words.
The southern slaves were set free twenty
odd years ago, but Mr.. BLAINE has just
walked up TO the fear that ga million and
q half OF southern workers with dark

tion with the white workers In the North.
For twenty-three years the freedmen have
remained In the South. and 1t has never
been heard that they desired to migrate to
the cold North. For twenty.three years
they had gone ON IN the even tenor Of their
harmless HIVES, and Mr.. BLAINE had never
word TO say on the subject Of the low
prices Of their labor; but now, at this late
day. he hiss walked UP. His fears are ludi.
crous. The negroes OF the South, rs we

upon Mr.. PowDERLY's letter, are better of

corresponding class Ia the State IN which

The Macon Telegraph, in discussing NJ.
PowDERLY's letter, says that while the me-
gro has more rights, privileges, and more
freedom, In the South to-day than anywhere
on this continent. social equality is some-
thing be will forever lack. Correct; and
the sooner sentimentalists who love the
negro in proportion to the distance he is

1t is hoped that our businessmen will
heartily cooperate with the authorities OF
the banks OF the city in the effort TO give
all bank employees holiday on Thursday,
the great day OF the Fair. Let every man
having paper maturing on Thursday re-
member that by respecting the request to
take 1t up on Wednesday he will be con-
tributing to the pleasure OF class OF
clerks than whom few are harder worked
or have less recreation. Very little busi-
ness will be done in the city on Thursday,
and therefore but little could be gained
anyhow by keeping the banks open.

From the Philadelphia Bulletin.I
When car No. 13, of the Race and
Vine Street Line, reached Sixth and
Race Streets, about 10 O'Clock this
morning, the conductor rang the bell
for the driver to stop. The tone OF
the bell sounded out clearly, but the
driver who was sitting up on his stool
on the platform, took no notice OF it.,
and the car kept on its eastward
course. Again the bell was rung, but
still no attention was paid to the
sound, and the conductor made his
way through the crowd OF passengers
and began to heap abuse upon the
driver. The latter sat as stOlidly as
ever, with the lines in his left hand and
his right on the handle of the brake,
but never turned his head nor made
an effort to bring the car to a stop.
The irate conductor seized him by the
shoulders and shook him roughly, but
got no response. To his surprise he
discovered that the man was frozen to
his seat and unconscious, and, with
the help Of a passenger, the car was
brought to a halt and al officer OF the
Fourth District summoned. The pa
troll wagon was called. The driver,
whose name is Thomas Finnegan, vas
taken in it to the Pennsylvania Hos
pital. He is 35 years Of age. He was
still unconscious when admitted to
the hospital but will probably beable
to be about in a few days.

GREAT WORKS IDLE.
closing of NcCarmick's Reaper Works
New York's street-csr Strike.

Closing of NcCormick's Reaper Works
New Nork's street-csr Strike.
The trouble at Chicago between the
/ Mccormick Reaper Company and their
| employees came to head on the 10th,
| and the great works have shut down.
| By this action over 1,300 men are
thrown out of employment. Mr. Nc
COrmick had conceded all the demands
made on him by the committee, with
/ the exception OF one. He insisted on
/ the right to employ any man, or dis
charge one with whom ne was dissatis-
/ fed. On the other hand the COM
mittee insisted that five non
union men employed in the mould
/ ing department should be discharged.
1t was on this rock that the negOtia
tiOns were broken. A committee
OF three representing the men called
/ to see Mr.. Mccormick in the morn
ing. He was not in and they were re-
celved by Mr.. Spring, the general super
lntendent. ThecOmmIttee again made
/ the demand for the discharge of the
nOn-uniOn men. 1t was firmly resisted
| and the fat went forth from the COM
| panv to shut up the factory. 1t was
| a great surprise to the employees, who
hardly expected that Mr.. Mccormick
would take such a firm stand
As soon as the men received
orders to stop work they dis
| persed to their homes. The men
declare that they will not give in, but
will fight for their point if it takes all
| summer to gain it. One OF the COM
| mittees said that they would call up
on the Knights OF Labor for assistance
/ and felt certain that aid would be
/ furnished them. Another OF the COM
mittee said that they did not deny the
/ right OF Mr.. Mccormick to hire or dis
! charge whom he pleased, and if it had
! been so reported 10 him he had been
/ misinformed. The main grounds OF
complaint are on account of Ward,
/ the foreman Of the foundry, who, since
/ his appointment three years ago, is al
! legged to have made himself particular
/ ly obnoxious to certain OF the men
! against whom he had a spite.
The conductors and drivers OF the
New York Fourth Avenue Railroad
struck on the morning of the 18th,
and there were no cars out all day.
Mr.. Vanderbilt said he knew nothing
about the matter, had heard no COM
/ pidInIS from ln6 men, ana ulu nOC
know why the strike had been ordered.
He was informed that Supt. Skitt, a
burly Englishman, instead of keeping
faith with the conductors and drivers,
and giving them 50 for twelve hours
work, according to agreement, had
arranged the schedule so that some
men could only earn 80 cents day.
Within an hour after this information
had been given to Mr.. Vanderbilt, the
superintendent sent for the strike COM
mittee, and at o'clock at night the
strike had ceased, and the first car left
the company barn, decked out in new
brooms and flags. Skitt had come to
terms and had also promised to dis
charge Starter Rayland, person very
/ obnoxious to the men.
