THE BLUE AND GRAY REUNION.

II seems that the parade OF the Blue
and Gray In New York on the 4th
OF July has been abandoned on account
of objections raised by Grand Army Of
the Republic officers.
Inasmuch as there is. to say the least.
doubt whether our veterans in gray
would be welcome In New York, II is
right that the men of. the South should
not put themselves In a position to be
snubbed. Besides, a reunion resulting In
a quarrel would do harm to the country,
whereas the indefinite postponement Of
the reunion will hurt nobody. except
few who expected to use 1t to advertise
themselves.
We are fer from charging upon the
people generally Of the city of New York
any word. deed. or thought Of inhospl-
tally In this matter; We know where
the opposition come from, but really.
New York Is not good place for Con-
federate reunion.

would. to the time originally appointed
for the reunion here, because In view of
the months extension Of time we de-
layed our arrangements a month, We
shall be ready to see our friends on June
S0th, but could not be ready sooner. Let
all the old Confederates who purposed
going to the New York reunion be con-
soled by the thought that there will be
very fine reunion-Confederate re-
union--here, and that in Richmond no
objection will be made to those who
choose to indulge themselves in the
"rebel YELL" or who wish to march again
under their old and tattered battle
dag.
We are going 10 have large auditorium

CUBAN BELLrGERENCY.

The debate on the Cuban belligsrency
resolution has consumed good part OF
the time of the United States Senate for
several days. and yesterday unanimous
consent was given that the vote on the
resolution and proposed amendments
should be taken at 4 o'clock this after
noon The resolution, as reported from
the Committee on Foreign Relations by
Mr.. Morgan, of Alabama. reads:
Resolved by the Senate (the House OF
Representatives concurring), That In the
opinion of Congress a condition OF public
war exists between the Government OF
Spain and the government proclaimed
and for some time maintained by force
of arms by the people of Cuba; and that
the United States OF America should.
maintain a strict neutrality between me
contending Powers. according to each all
the rights of belligerents in the ports ana
territory of the United States.
Mr.. Morgan led the debate in favor
OF the adoption of the resolution, ana
Mr.. Gray, OF Delaware, was. perhaps.
most prominent on the other side. the
latter expressed himself as favoring the
White substitute, which was simple
Senate resolution not concurrent reso-
luton. disavowing any intention on the
part Of the United States to interfere
in the trouble, unless their interests be-
came involved, but giving voice to sym
patty for Cuba, and ending az follows:
1--WE trust that the Executive Depart
ment, TO whose investigation and care our
diplomatic relations have been committed.
will, at as early a date as the facts will
warrant, recognize the bclligerency Of
those who are maintaining themselves in
Cuba in armed opposition to Spain, and
that the influences and offices OF the
United States may be prudently. peace
fully, and effectively exerted to the end
that Cuba may be enabled to establish a
permanent government OF her own
choice
AS we understand II, however, the
main amendment TO be voted upon to-
day is the Allen amendment. which reads:
Resolved by the Senate and House Of
Representatives of the United States of
America, IN Congress assembled That the
President of the United States be. and
he is hereby, authorized and requested
TO issue proclamation recognizing the
republic OF Cuba as IL exists under the
constitution and form OF government pro-
claimed at Jimaguaya, under President
Cisneros, in the month of May. Ammo
Domini 1885, as free and independent
nation. and according the Envoy Extra
ordinary and Minister Plenipotentlary of
said republic all the rights and privileges
accorded TO the Envoy Extraordinary and
Minister Plenipotentiary of the Govern
ment of SPAIN
These several resolutions would seem to
show that the Senate is very much split
up on the question how the Cuban mat
ter ought to be treated.

To the Editor OF the Dispatch:
I see much said OF late In your valu-

Legislature TO do something for the bust
ness interest Of the State, especially the
manufacturing interest; but I have yet
to read of one single act passed by II
to induce or attract any men of capital

happen to know of a desire on the
part OF some gentlemen to buy the Old
Dominion Cotton-Mill In your city, or,
rather, in Manchester; but, under the
abominable law bound around the necks
of cotton-mill-m In Virginia the pro-
ject was abandoned. especially when they
were told no remedial legislation need be
expected.
In North Carolina not a restrictive
labor-iaw is on the statute-books. Conse-
quently. there are about $50 cotton-mill
corporations in the State, all fiourishing
and paying handsome dividends. and
giving employment to thousands. and
hundreds of thousands being fed and
clothed
Now, turn to Virginia: We have eight
mills-five at Petersburg. one at Danville
one at Richmond marshall, in Manches-
ter). one in Lynchburg.
In South Carolina and Georgia eleven
hour laws are on the books, and as most
of those mills run night and day, this is
ample time for working hours.
Mr.. McRae, of Petersburg. introduced
a bill the other day by request. allowing
eleven hours In cotton-mllls where work
is done by the hour, or by plece-work,
and yet learn that any such bill is con-
sidered a mere farce at this session.
But, for arguments sake, led us admit
that ten hours are enough for cotton
mill operatives 10 work per day. Then In
the name of horse-sense and humanity,
allow the laborers the privilege to work
overtime II they choose. so as to make
the sixty hours per week (ten hours per
day., so as to run out by Saturdays at IL
O'Clock NJ. Then they could have Satur-
day evening to do their shopping on.

feel like going to Sunday-school and

they have no show whatever for a mo-
ment's secular enjoyment, and. again.
under this same cotton-mill-law. as 1t
stands (for II is aimed at cotton-mills
oniy), It forbids woman the right to
contract Though she weigh go pounds
and is 60 years old she cannot. as a
man can, contract for minute over ten
hours
A ten-hour-law would not be 30 had IL
women had the same right to contract as
men have, and II all were allowed TO
make the sixty hours by Saturday at
noon.
Yours truly, FAIR PLAY.
