Hardy Flowers.

An experienced florist says: '''Were
l restricted in my gardening opera
tions to the use of four species Of
plants, then, without hesitation. I
should choose hardy roses, lilies, rho
dodendrons and clematis. Lilies
should give a second place in import
ance. roses the first; but if l consider
results in proportion to labor and ex-
pense, then lilies should have the first
place. And in every garden these
four plants should predominant and
should be relied upon for grand eff
tects.'

Oh, Rudyard!

An old British soldier who served in

that the real name of Rudyard Kipling

CAMP MORTON PRlsoN-LlEg.
DIR. Wyeth's Statements CORtroverted in
True Yankee Language.
[By telegraph 70 the Dispatch.l

INDIANAPOLIS, IND. April 6.-Colonel w.
r. Holloway, who was Governor Norton's
private secretary during the war. makes
the following reply to the statement Of DR..
Wyeth this afternoon: Il assert that
every material statement by Mr.. Wyeth in
the Century Magazine concerning the ne
glect of prisoners at Camp Morton is abso-
lutely and unqualifiedly false, and that
will be able TO prove them so from official
sources. There are hundreds of men still
living who are thoroughly familiar with all
that occurred at Camp Morton during the
time, and 1t might be well for DIR.
Wyeth to await nay reply TO his article
before he supplements the Century article.
1t is evident TO me that Or. Wyeth. who
by the way, Is an eminent surgeon and an
author of standard work on surgery, in
tends 10 become the defender of the
prison-pens of the South and will attempt
to excuse the crimes committed by his
friends in their prisons by printing the
most infamous falsehoods about Camp
Morton and perhaps other northern prison
camps. reiterate and assert in the most
solemn manner, that will be able 70 prove
every material statement OF DR.. Wyeth TO
be untrue"

workmen 10 earn living: and II also

combine aud strike in order 10 degrade q

Richmond dispatch. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1884-1903, 1891-04-07


TO present the following views on the sub
ject:
The real controversy is not. as may be
supposed. between the company and the
strikers-who have no complaint against
the company either as regards wages or
treatment-but the attack of the strikers
is upon a fellow-workman, HansfOrd. TO
whom they insist the company shall not
give au opportunity TO improve his condl-
tion for the better support of his depend
eut family. Had the company been so
weak and cowardly as to have abandoned
HansfOrd and gwen up the control of its
own shops this strike would have been
ayerted.
NOT SKILLED But EFFICIENT.
Workman Hansford, whose assignment
TO a machine occasioned the strike,
has been In the employment of the
company q long time, has been con-
spicuous by faithfulness, and was fully
competent for the work 10 which, in
the regular course Of business. he was
assigned; and such consequences as have
resulted were wholly unexpected. as no
machinist was displaced. nor was there any
likelihood that one would be displaced by
him. Though an unskilled machinist, his
wages were Sl.75 per day, which he often
increased 10 g and over by piece-work,
and his work was satisfactory.
The company hes obtained every me-
chanical appliance TO make its products as
perfectly and ss economically as those of
any similar shop. Some of the tools are of a
very simple character, and do not require
the services of frst-class machinist for
their operation; indeed, such employment
would be beneath a thorough mechanic.
These tools are put in charge OF men who
make specialties OF them, and who are not
expected TO be all-round maehinists aud
are not classified as such, andthe company
must determine what men shall operate its
tools.
We are unable TO see what a skilled ma
chlnist has TO fear from a laborer who,
while rendering valuable services on ma
chine and earning good wages for himself
by becoming very expert in one thing,
cannot and does not pretend 20 undertake
the business which belongs only to the
higher branches of the trade; and il would
seem that these men, although not able to
earn such high wages as skilled mechanic,
ought to be permitted by their fellow
