a book entitled: why the Solid South?
or, RecOnssruc ton and.Its Results" 1t
undertakes 10 narrate, fairly and dis
passionately in concise and popu

shO wing how the Republicans OBJ
tanned control and how they lost,
the figures and facts as 10 shrinkage
OF values and increase Of debt and
taxation under these governments, and
the prosperity of the South under pres
ent auspices. The book speaks OF
Abraham Lincoln's death as an appall-
ing calamity 70 the South; argues that
Andrew Johnson followed strictly Lin
cOlns plan Of restoration, and contends
that IL Lincoln had lived he would have
been able TO defend that plan
against the assaults of Congress. Each
chapter is signed by author, who thus
becomes directly responsible for she
truth OF his statements, and the claim
of the book in its preface written by
General Herbert, its editOr), is that in
all the chapters the facts are Understat
ed rather than overstated. The race
question and race troubles are extern
sively discussed. and the statement made
that there is no intention 70 agitate
for the repeal of the fifteenth amend
ment or the deportation of the negro.
Educational and material statistics of
many kinds are given in support OF the
contention that the negro is prospering
and that the South is solving for itself
the negro question. The book is dedi-
Gated to the business men of the North,
with statement that they are inter-

Chicago Carpenters Decide TO Strike. and
VIII Not Return TO Work Until Their
Demands Are Conceded.
CHICAGO. April AT midnight on
Saturday night the carpenters council
of this city ordered general strike, to
take effect at once. Six thousand men
are directly affected by the strike, and
how many it will reach ultimately can
only be determined by the developments
of the situation from day 10 day. The
strikers say they will not return to
work until the bosses concede
their demand and sign an agree
ment for forty cents an hour and an
eight-hour day. Back of the movement
is the Brotherhood of Carpenters and
Joiners. together with the American
Fedora tion Of Labor. Both are power
full organizations and both have agreed
to con tribute financial as we'll as moral
support, so that this is one of the most
formidable labor movements ever seen
in Chicago.
The carpenters claim that before the
middle of the week nearly every carpen-
ter in Cook County will have joined the
brotherhood, and that not a carpenter
will be found working on any other
conditions than those proposed by the
strike committee
The bricklayers and stone-masons
have notified the strikers that they will
refuse 70 work on jobs with non-union
carpenters. Similar action is looked
for on the part of the lathers, plasterers,
and main fnrs

ENGLISH GRAMMAR IN POLITICS.
A Convention Throws it Overheard
for the Spelling Book.

a Convention Throws 1t Overheard
for the Spelling Book.
The Republican party of the Second SEN
atorial district, composed of the counties of
Tattnall, Liberty and Mcintosh, held their
convention at Hinesville day before yester-
day and nominated Hercules Wilson
(colored) of Mcintosh for state senator.
The convention was composed wholly of
colored delegates, and there were some
amusing episodes in the convention, one of
which is worth relating.
1t appears that one of the delegates, well
up in advanced English, in addressing the
convention, used words unfamiliar to the
great body of the convention, the meaning
of which could only be conjectured by those
whose scholastic attachments were not
equal to those of the speaker. A Disguised
delegate arose and said: Mr.. Chairman,
move that we quit the English grammar
and stick to the blue-back spelling book"
The motion met with storm of applause,
and when put by the chairman was carried
overwhelmingly, amid continued cheers.
A few minutes later delegate was called
to order, the point of order being that the
speaker was violating the rule of the con-
vention In talking from the almanac, which
seemed to have as few friends In the conven-
ton as the English grammar. The chair
ruled that the point of order was well
taken, and the discounted speaker sat
down, amid the bowls of the convention,
and nothing but the most elementary parts
of the blue-back spelling book were per-
mitted to be drawn upon by any of the
orators of the convention.
