ARBITRATION.

Attorney. General Olney seems to be
trying to do something that will atone
in some degree for his conduct during
the strike OF last summer. He has de-
vised a labor arbitration plan to come
up before Congress. 1t provides that
wages paid must be reasonable and just,
and that in case of controyersaries the
Chairman OF the Interstate Commerce
Commission and the Commissioner OF
Labor will endeavor to settle the mat
ter but, if they fail, the difficulty is to
be settled by a board of arbitration con
sisting of the Chairman of the Inter
state Commerce Commission, a repre-
sentative from the employers and one
from the labor organization. Other
features are:
That the award shall be final unless
set aside for error of law apparent on
the record.
Employees dissatisfied with the award
shall net quit work without three
months notice in writing.
The award shall be- continued in force
for two years, and during that period no
new arbitation between the same parties
on the same subject shall be had.
Membership in incorporateded labor
organizations, it is provided, shall be ter
minated by indulgence in l~awlessness,
violence, destruction of property, intim-
idation or threats by members during
strikes, but they are not to be held
individually liable for debts of the organ-
i~zation.
Employers who make it a condition
of employment that men shall not be
members of any labor organization, or
discharge or threaten to discharge men
for such membership, or discriminate
against them because of it, or enter into
contracts compelling the men to con-
tribute to any fund for charitable, social
or beneficial objects, or, alter discharg-
ing men, conspire to prevent them from
obtaining employment, shall be- guilty
of a misdemeauor, punishable by a fine OF
from 500 to 81, 900.

GENERAL CONDITIONS.

We have and are experiencing the
greatest business and financial depres-
zion that the people of this country
have ever known. This is not the result
Of failure of bountiful harvests, or the
exhaustion of u mines, nor is it the al
most total cessation OF the wonted activ-
ties in our varied industries, and fair re-
turn OF profits upon the capital invest
ed nor has the field OF labor been closed
from congestion. The people have not
been visited by either scourge or calam-
ity, nor have they refrigerated in their
enterprise and energy-but this great
depression is owing to the fact that the
money OF the nation is apparently under
the control of the banking corporations
and the corporate money powers have
become the masters of commerce and al
most absorbed the prosperity OF the
country.
sTArE BOARD OF EQUALIZATION.
am in sympathy with Governor Col
cords recommendations upon this point,
and | have a firm conviction that you
will enact such laws as will secure the
needed reform of assessment of proper
ty, and will justify and hoaestly distrib-
ute the burden of taxation. This can
more effectively be done by the creation
OF a State Board of Equalization. In or
der to bring about a harmonious system
OF our financial conditions, and in the
REIMBURSEMENT of property valuation, it
will he necessary under existing circum-
stances, to curtail in every reasonable
way the current expences OF the State,
and determine the best methods of pro-
viding for the support Of the State Gov
eminent for the ensuing fiscal years.
To bring about this d%esideratum in econ
omy | earnestly appeal to you in your
legislative capacity, and to the co-opera-
ton of the respective departments, that
the people may enjoy greater freedom
from the grievons burdens of taxation,
thus insuring to them a more prosper
Gus condition.

HOME INDUSTRIES.

Some encouragement should be given
to towns and associations for the pro-
motion of home manufactures. The
people of this State should in no sense
neglect their own interests by impover-
ishing themselves to build up the pros
perity of other States and cities. This
should be seriously thought of. Men of
means OF our State should encourage
and promote every industry, and en-
deavor to invite capital for investment
that would give fair profits and build up
our State. Many articles purchased
abroad could with profit to our people
be manufactured at home. Let us build
up our own manufactures, establish our
industries, furnish employment at our
own doors for Il young men and wo-
men. Educate and employ them at
home. Train their eyes, their ears,
and their hands, and inform and enlarge
their understanding and their hearts by
home agencies and influences. Let us

OUR GOVERNORS MESSAGE.

To Governor Jones is due thanks for
a plain, sensible message. In brief lam
guage he covers the field and in words
to be understood by all. Our limited
space permits of but the synopsis which
follows:

make our V towns and communities
in the greatest measure possible, free,
independent and self-supporting.
STATE INSTITUTIONS.
| am gIatifed to know that the sever
al State institutions have been econom-
ically and judiciously conducted, and in
a manner that reflects credit IN their
management.
PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
The interest taken in our public
schools is manifest to all, and the fact
that the interest is duly increasing
cannot fail to be highly gratifying to
every person in our State. Our school
fund is constantly increasing for their
support. The great object OF our com
mon school system is to elevate and en-
noble the citizen. 1t would fall far short
OF its design if it did not disseminate in
telligence and build up the moral ener-
gies OF the people. 1t is organized to es-
tablish justice, promote the public we'll
fare and secure the blessings. 1t should
afford moral as well as physical protec-
ton by educating the rising generation,
by encouraging industry and sobriety,
by steadfastly adhering to the right, and
by being ever true to the instincts OF
freedom and humanity. 1t is conceded
that the safety and prosperity of re-
publican institutions depend upon the
diffusion of intelligence among the
masses OF the people.
Every consideration, therefore, oil duty
and policy impels us to sustain the com
mon schools in our State in the highest
possible efficiency.
STATE
The State University has passed the
experimental period of its existence and
has now attained a high ranks as an ed
ucational institution. During the past
year it has made admirable progress in
view of the means available, in its scope,
equipment and efficiency.
Our own direct interests require that
we should make it an educational insti-
tuition unsurpassed in its facilities and
in all its equipments. To do this the
fnandial burden will be so trivial that
no taxpayer will feel its weight.
IRRIGATION.
l shall avail myself OF the earliest OPP
p%ortunity to lay before you my views on
this important matter, supported by
proofs from authentic sources, showing
results of incalculable benefit to the
several States in whose borders vast
schemes OF irrigation have been brought
To a successful issue, retaining many
thousands of acres of arid, barren and
waste lands, turning them to fruitful
fields occupied and owned by a thriving
and happy people. Our own State can
accomplish as much by combined and
persistent effort.
LEGISLATION.
A law should be enacted or the Act of
March 10, 1903, entitled an "Act to pro-
hibit the bringing of deceased animals
within this State, and to prevent the
selling OF deceased animals, poultry,
fish, game and other articles by butch
ers, merchants and others, to the gener-
al public" should be amended so as to
include fraud and adulteratiton or i'm
or impurities in foods, drinks or drugs
and unlawful labelling.

FORGOT SOME OF THEM.

The Record, in reasserting that
it answered its question as tc
what constitutes the value OF
money Of ultimate redemption
says that it made four statements
First. Gold and silver have
been by common consent, the
money Of final redemption since
long before any government put a
stamp upon or passed a law con-
cerning them"
Second. "In 1892 this goven-
ment established the ratio between
gold at to Is and the gold left

what was and what was not neces-
sary for the purposes of proper
and economical government. He
would soon learn to weed out the
reasonable expenditures from the
useless and extravagant, and his
representative would very soon
become aware that, if he would re-
ceive the approval of his constitu-
ents, he must, SO far as posi-
bic, relieve them Of all unnecessa-
ry expense and reduce their taxes
to the minimum.
Congress, under direct taxation,
instead of approriating money by
the million for the improvement of
every bayou and slough in the
country, for useless public build
lngs or in support of undeserving
objects, the only purpose of which
is to catch the votes of interested
classes for the party advocating
such appropriations, would be-
come concerned in the line of
economy and each congressman
would strive to get back home
with a clean record in this respect
which would appeal to those whom
he represented for his retention in
office.

BLACK MARBLE.

1t is not generally known that
there is no true black Marble in
the markets of the United States
except what is imported from
Belgium, and none is now known
to exist in America aside from our
own here in the vicinity of White
Oaks. 1t is said by those in a po-
sition to know that the demand
for this class of marble would be
practically unlimited, could it be
supplied at such a price as would
enable consumers to use it at some
thing like a reasonable cost.
The ledges found here, while
not containing altogether, pure
black, show layers or strata which
are free from streaks of white orcol-
ors. With railroad transportation
the product of these quarries could
be delivered to dealers at about
the price of other good grades Of
marble,
AS to the quality of our depos-
its one OF the most experienced
men in the United States in this
line of industries, Mr. Geo. G. I'm
derhill of Rutland VT, after test
ing a sample sent him the present
year, pronounces it "A l." This
opinion only corroborates those of
a large number of other marble
dealers and workers who, from time
to time, have tested and passed up
on the quality of the marble found
to exist in large quantities near
this place. All have spoken of it in
the highest terms. Specimens have
been sent to Denver Colo. Ell Paso
Tex, Chicago, Oskaloosa Ia. St.
Louis, Indianapolis, Fort Scott
Kan. and other places, the reports
from all of which have been
favorable. If, upon thorough and
systematic development, it is
found to be as large in extent and
to retain the uniformly good
quality which present conditions
and explorations indicate, there
would result from this industry
alone a large tonnage for the
railroad which could command its
output.
There are several hundred acres
of this marble, already disclosed
in the Immediate vicinity of
White Oaks and some groupings
in other localities in this region,
and there is no apparent reason
why it will not, soon become the
basis of an industry which shall,
when it is reached by railroads,
send steady stream Of its val
liable product to the markets of
the world.

Industrious woodpeckers.

Linemen of some of the telegraph and telephone companies centering in Reading have made Q discovery as to the destruo- tive propensitics of woodpeckers that al most surpasses belief. The costly cedar poles brought from Canada, these birds have discovered, arc soft through the cen ter to tho top. ei
 They first hunt for knot near the bot. tom, and around this they peck with their long sharp bills until they extract it. They work all around it until it is dis lodged. They then continue pecking un- til tho center of. the polo is reached after which the softer material is removed. In some cases tho interior of tho polo at the point attacked is nothing moro than a more shell, and any sudden gale is apt to snap 1t off.
 The birds sometimes build their nests inside tho hollow polo and have been known to bo killed by it's breaking. The cedar poles taken out after they arc ruined by the birds are generally replaced by chestnut poles, which arc seldom attacked
 Linemen nro instructed to keep an extra sharp lookout for poles damaged in this way, and when they find they have been used as hatcheries to renew them.-Phil- adelphia Ledger

MT. Gratebar's- Valued Friend Suffering
 From a Strange Complaint.
 "Among our household possessions, said Mir Gratebar, "is an old clock, an old wooden clock of the kind you hang upon the wall. Its constant ticking has long been familiar, friendly sound. We have other clocks, newer clocks, with quicker ticks, chipper and friendly enough, no doubt, but their quick, incessant tick ing makes them seem shallow compared with the old clock, which has slow, dig ni1ed, measured tick. If you should be awake in the night, how easily you could tell it among all the rcstl You hear at first but tho chatter of the newer ones, but presently you hear back of them all, and growing upon the ear as you listen, the sturdy old clock, ticking on, calmly con scious of its own superiority and of its much longer standing in the family
 "Onc day tko old clock stopped We took io down and listened and shook 1t gently. It started up, and we hung it up again, but soon it stopped again, and then we took it down again and laid 1t on to- blo and looked at 1t and wondered what we could do next. It ticked all right lying down, and after 1t had been lying there awhile we thought that perhaps it had got over it's little indisposition and was all right again. So we hung it up once more, and this time we thought it was going to go all right, and it did go longer than it had before, but then it stopped. So we took it down and laid it on its back again. and it's been lying so ever since Nothing that we can do for it seems to help It.
 When I wind the old clock at night lying there prone upon it's back and yet ticking away so bravoly, my hand trem- bles. It has been with us so long-not through any very desperate vioissitudes to be sure, but through life. It has seen tho children come and seen them grow up to be young men and young women, it has seen our own hair grow gray, it has been with us always, and whether our for tunes waxed or waned it has been always the same constant friend.

Pulpit and Stage Should Cooperate.

On tho part of the clergy there Is vast difference of opinion regarding the stage, its representations and its representatives. Owing to the numerous scandals so freely circulated through the daily press regard ing actors and actresses and the highly sensational and wicked features that claim the public's purse and attention. any prej- udice that religion may have against the stage is only too we'll grounded. Yet, withal, thero is goodly number of the clergy who are firmly persuaded that the stage is capable of much good; that its in- fluencc over tho minds and hearts of men is great in1ucncc and that their duty is to enter into tho spirit of the upright and honorable men and women whose life work is on the stage to tho purifying and ennobling of its associations. Laying aside for tho nonce all prejudiccs, and even all we'll grounded opinions let tho ques
 tion bo plainly asked whether it is the part of wisdom for the pulpit to cooperate with tho stago or to antagonizo it. For my own part, am bold to say that to CO., operate is wiser and moro beneficial. al.-Rev. ,s :, Twomey in Donahoe's Magazine.
