In our last issue we advocated the
passage of the Ellerbe resolution
i. e., to have the convention make
the necessary levies and appropria-
tions to run the government and
then do away with one session of the
Legislature. We have given this
matter serious thought, and the more
we think of it the more are we con-
vinced OF the wisdom of such a
course. The omission of q session Of
the Legislature this winter will not
the people near SO
much as the levy of an additional
$4,000 tax. The people are now IL
such a financial condition that the
saving of money to them is greatly
appreciated, but if to Go away with
this session of the Legislature will do
an injustice to any particular pubic
interest we would not advocate 1t.
The only interest interfered with
that We can see by the convention
taking such step would be
to cut the members Of the
Legislature out of few weeks OF
lung practice.
The Ellerbe resolution, if adopted,
will not only make the necessary tax
levies and appropriations, which will
answer the purpose, but it will cut a
small amount off frolu each ta1pay-
er's tax receipt. We therefore favor
the resolution if its purpose can be
carried out without embarrassment
to the State government.

Genesis, second verse. This is the
first mention Of money in the bible.
1t will be noticed that silver is men

where money is mentioned in the
bible is in the 23d chapter, 10th verse
of Genesis, which reads as follows:
.sAnd Abraham hearkened unto
Ephram and Abraham weighed to
Ephra1n the silver which he had
named in the audience of the sons of
Heth, four hundred shekels OF silver

:rl,r gr,i HIS i.ii.i'' SW"rd "

Senator John L. NJ lrby is out in
the newspa oers with a long inter
view, which may be summed up to
mean declaration of war against
those who do not come out right now
and say they viii support him for re-
election to the United States senate.
Ostensibly he is opposed to the re-
port of the suffrage committee" of
which Senator Tillman is chairman,
but takes this occasion to deliver a
long political harangue to make
known what he conceives to be a
plan to disfranchise thousands of
white men. The senator simply says
he is ''agin'' it, and makes no sug-
gestions to guide the committee in
formulating better plan.
Senator Irby means war, for he
says that ''he has drawn his sword
and thrown the scabbard away" At
the same time he attacks the Re
form leaders and he processes trne
loyalty to the Reform faction. There
is no doubt that the distinguished
senator has host of friends, for he
deserves them, but he had better go
and hunt up his thrown-awsy scab-
bard or his sword might get rusty.
The people are not going to stand
any fooiishness from Mr.. Irby no
more than they did from others, and
if he persists in spelling for fight,
he may get contract which will be
more than he can handle well.
AS far as we can see Senator Irby
has taken up an idea that Governor
Evans will oppose him, and that
Senator Tillman will aid the Gov
ernor. What grounds there is for
this idea we do not know, but we do
know that Governor Evans or any
one else has right to aspire to the
high honor, and if they are stronger
with the people than Senator Irby,
1t is their good fortune.
We well remember when it was
being rumored that Hon. John L.
McLaurin was a candidate to sue
eeed Mr.. Irby that gentleman in one
of his speeches showed fight, drew
his sword and threw the scabbard
away" and boasted that he always
wore suit of clothes two seasons"
His friend, Mr.. CAN'T, in the Head
light kept up weekly grind on Mr..
McLaurin trying to injure the man,
and at the same time was making all
that is great and good out of Mr..
Evans. The Headlights general has
partially withdrawn his forces from
McLaurin, and is now courting a
conflict with others. Just how it
Will all end is mere conjecture, but
we do not think we are far out Of it
when we say that Senator Irby
should wash his linen elsewhere than
in the convention, and if he persists
in raising rumpus in the Reform
camp he will be sunmarily bounced.
The Reformers do not want anyone
to draw a sword on them, and when
they see man so unappreciative as to
throw away q nice scabbard that
was presented to him by them, they
will look upon him as ungrateful
and will find somebody who can
appreciate such a good thing.
It does seem really strange that as
soon as a politician begins to feel
his strength failing him he at once
makes for Tillman's scalp, and he
always gets left.

AMALGAMATED ASSOCIATION.

The Convention at Cleveland in June Ex-
pected to Demand Restoration Of
Rates
Pittsburg, Pa, April 9O.-The an
nual convention of the Amalgamated
Association Of Iron and Steel WCInels
will be held in Cleveland in two weeka
and it will be the most important ses-
sion since 1892. The organization is
stronger now than at that time and it
covers a larger territory. This year
the great question, as usual, will be
revision of the wage scale, so as to Sc
cure a restoration Of the wages lost
during the business depression.
Since the summer of 1898 the wages
Of the iron and steel workers have been
going down. The pudding rate fell
from $3.50 to 81 per ton, and even that
rate has been cut in many places,
notably in PittsbuTg. The voluntary
reduction of 10 per cent. in the tom
mage rate for fnishers was followed
last year by a further reduction Of 10
per cent, and in the Youngstown dis
trict the fnishers took another cut OF
Is per cent. The only workers who es-
caped were the sheet mill hands. The
tin plate workers compromised with
reduction Of 1215 and - per cent, one
half of what was demanded by the
manufacturers. The. demand for
wage restoration will cover all depart
mnts of mill work, with the possible
exception of the tin plate branch.

POTTERY AND COAL.

Strike in the Norfolk and Western
Reg ion - Pottery Combination Broken.
The Pittsburg Strike.
Welch, w. Va, April 9O.-There will
be quite a reduction in wages through
out the Pocahontas Flat Top coal re-
gion May 1. A general strike is pre-
dicted. The miners are very indignant
at some of the operators who are using
electric machinery and offering cheap
coal TO the railroad. This forces the
balance of the field to compete, hence
the reduction. The miners are thor
oughly organized and viii strenuously
fight against the electric machines and
railroad companies.
Pittsburg, April 3O.-Patrick Nc
Bryde, Secretary-Treasurer of the
United Mine Workers, is here investi-
eating the strike to make a report to
The national convention in Columbus
tomorrow. A great deal will depend
upon the action of this convention.
The Ohio miners have also been max
ing an investigation through Presi-
dent John NUgent. The miners Of the
Shawnee district also sent a delegate
to 80 over the situation.
TeTe Haute, Ind, April 30.-The
bituminOus miners and operators held
a Joint conference this morning and
discussed the situation, but reached no
conclusion.
Pittsburg, April SO.-Thirty white
granite and semi-porcelain manuiac-
turers are in conference here. When
the Wilson bill went into effect the
jobhers agreed to give the preference
TO American wares if the manufactur-
ers would take their sales agents off
the road. This was done, but the man
ufacturers claim the jObbers have
broken faith. To-day they decided to
sell their present stocks at a sacrifice
to gain control of the market again.
They will put agents on the road at
once and intend to undersell imported
wares.
Akron, O., April 9O.-The Akron
Canton Stoneware Agency, which has
sold more than twO-thirds of the pot
terry goods of the United States for ten
years, is broken. The result will be a
sharp decline in pottery goods.
Pocahontas, Va, April SO.-Fifteen
thousand coal miners employed along
the Ohio extension of the Norfolk and
Western Railroad went out on strike
at noon to-day.

that is distinctly it's own and that
rests upon higher grounds than any
doctrine or any treaty ever made or
enunciated The United States and
the governments CT Nicaragua and
Costa Rica have entered into common
compact with maritime highway; Great
Britain upon the slimmest Of protects,
the most absurd of excuses, makes a
demand upon the government Of Mic
aragua that she does not expect TO be
complied with, and all in the hope
that through the default of the weaker
government she will be enabled to
establish a sovereignty over the terri
tory and thus control the future deyel-
opment of the canal. Somebody has
got to step in and be disagreeable, and
this seems to be a very good opportun-
ity for the United States to assume
that role.
