A SONG OF HOPE.

II earthly ills were fewer,
We couldn't then complain
And IL the skies were bluer,
Perhaps we'd have no rain
1t takes a little sorrow
To lead our lines Alright;
The sun that gilds the morrow
Is sweeter for the night.
When winter winds are fiinginS
The snow againstthe pane,
Somewhere the birds are singing
They'll sing for us again
Tell not thy mournful story
Sing not thy solemn song,
While in Gods grace and glory
The glad world rolls along
IF. L. Stanton, in Atlanta Constitution.

LABOR TROUBLES.

Indications Point to a Settlement of La
Dor Grievances in New Orleans.
New Orleans, Dec. 20.-The members Of
the state board or arbitration held an in
formal meeting in the cotton exchange
building, Col II. G. Hester presiding
Mr.. Foster, the fifth member of the
board, being absent, telegram was sent
requesting his presence. In view of the
present labor troubles it was deemed ad.
|visable that the board should be prepared
to act upon any question that may be
submitted to it.
There was a conference this afternoon
between representatives of the white and
cOlOred handlers and the indications are
that the white organizations will consent
to a division of work with the colored
labOrers. The position taken by the
that they would employ ne
groes entirely unless the white men re-
turned to work, and the promise of Mayor
that adequate protection would
be furnished to all who desired to work
backed up by strong show of police
force on the levee has had salutary eff
feet apparently on the white labOrers
them to recede from the posi-
ton taken by them some days ago that
they would not load any vessel employing
c0lored longshOremen and that they would
not load any vessel of the West Indian
or Harrison Ines uDless they were given
all the work on the vessels of these lines
in other words, the negroes who have
been working on the levee all their lives
we're to be drievn off.
Later-The strike was settled tonight,
The white and colored organizations agree
ng to divide the work and restore rates,
The ship agents concurring in the re-
of peace and prices.

stood. When discovered by the relief
party, even, the Pearys were reveling in
all the d%elicacles of the season., and the
larder contained 764 cases of currant jam,
800 cans Of deviled ham, 1923 cases Of
assorted jumbles, IA tins Of imported
sardines, 76 gallons of condensed milk,
10 lunches of quill tooth-picks, 3 dozen
clean napkins, Z complete silver services,
4 bottles of pitted cherries, 8 dozen in
dividual butter dishes and a half barrel
of ginger-ale. The only thing which the
Pearys were short on was olives, and Z
sledge loads had been ordered from an
establishment, several miles back, to be
sent by the swiftest runners. The only
reason Mrs. Peary aver came back at all,
was because she had forgotten her SMELL
lng-salts, and was a few short on hat
pins. It takes a women to fit ont an

there's any doubt about it, just ask old

admonished by the ruin of the last two
years, will not soon demand again a change
to the policy which brought it.

The campaign having opened fully,
republicans should lay to and work for
the success OF their ticket. As go coun.
ties, so go states aud the nation. Re.
publicans should labor earnestly for re.
publican candidates, to the end that all
principles of republicanism and repub.
lican interests be advanced. The pres
ent year is a crisis in national affairs,
and republican success should be the
watchword Of every voter. And repub.
lican success can be attained by unity
end harmony among republicans. It can
be attained by earnest endeavor, and the
hearty support Of republican candidates
by republican voters, means a victory in
county, state and nation this fall.

THERE is a statement going the rounds
that the state officers are receiving their
salaries in full, and up to date, while en-.
ployes of some, at least, Of the public in.
situations are compelled to wait consid.
cradle time after salaries are due before
receiving their pay. If this is false, we
are pleased to give the party in power an
opportunity to say 81 through the col
nmns of the TRIBUNE. A failure to do
SO will be taken as a confession Of the
truthfulness of the report. What say
you, Mr.. Auditor and Treasurer? Have
you been making flesh of yourselves and
fish of the laborer who is worthy of his
hire?
Bismarck weekly tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, Dakota [N.D.]) 1884-1943, 1894-09-28

THERE is just one sentence in the
platform of the New York democracy,
which is worthy Of comment. "Mills
closed by the effects of republican legis.
lation are re-opening." Read it over
twice, or thrice, or ever four times, and
then ponder over the unredeemed, unex-
celled, unparalleled and unmltigated gall
Of unwashed democracy! Read over the
reports of the Eleventh census, and con-
slder the unprecedented activity of the
industries under republican legislation,
up to 1892, the year in which the demo-
Gratis assumed the reins of government.
Read owe the statistics embodied in any
labor report you may have at hand, and
consider the unparalleled increase in in
vestments, from 1880 to 1892. lRead over
any unbiased resume of factories found
ed and industries established during the
years of republican control. Read any
comparative statement of labor employ
ed, under republican and democratic leg
islation. Read any statistical handbook,
which may have been compiled by any
authority even fairly impartial. Dwell
upon the fact that every Circumstance and
condition, industrial, social and educa-
tional, of the year 1892, the climax Of re-
publican ascendency, pointed to the
period as n of prosperity unexampled
in the history of the nation. The fact
is undenied, %undisputed and cannot be
successfully contradicted. Then follow
up the course of triumphant democracy.
With every advancing step, it crushed
out an industry. With every labored
breath, as it strained in making laws, it
quenched a furnace fire. With every
sweep Of its powerful arm, it liberated a
workingman. With every stroke Of it's
legislative pen, it added a few thousand
names to the muster roll of General
Coxey. With every effort at reform
it precipitated a strike or melted a re-
bellion. And under these circumstances,
the New York democracy stands forth,
and proclaims that "mills closed by re-
publican legislation are r%e-opening."

"ENGLAND expects every man to do his
duty" wal the watchword of Lord Mel.
SOD, the English admiral. England
expects the United States to remove the
