The Negro and His Friends.

Daily St
| Our friends in the North are wont
to protest against the action of
| constitutions as to eliminate the
mass of ignorant negroes from the
electorate, but the North, in spite
of all the sentimental cant which
realizing that the people of the
South after all the vicious attacks
which have been made upon them
are the best friends of the negroes.
The Southern whites had cheerfully
taxed themselves for the education
of negro children whose parents
contributed nothing to the support
of the public schools. A short
time ago the Arkansas House of
Representatives by the large vote of
63 years to IS nays, defeated bill
apportioning the taxes paid by
colored citizens TO the support of
coiored schools and the taxes paid
by white citizens to the support of
white schools. Common ting on
this fact the Philadelphia Press says:
every constitutional convention
which has recently met in a South
ern State has had before it propo-
sition dividing the money appro-
priated to schools in the proportion
it had been raised from. the two
races. 1t is encouraging to know
that not one of them was adopted.
Nearly every legislative session is
importuned to the same purpose,
but without success. These facts
are worth remembering at the pres
ent time, when in other ways a
strong reactionary spirit against the
colored people is manifesting itself
in the South.
The .'reactionary spirit" is not
one of hostility to the welfare and
Improvement of the colored people

The Pope IS ill.

Rome, Feb. 28.-rhe Pope was
taken suddenly i'll this morning and
his audiences have been suspended.
He has had prolonged fainting fit.
The Pope had fatiguing day
yesterday, receiving congratulations
on the approaching anniversary OF
his coronation and complained OF
the cold, which has been intense.
The pontiff complained of a pain
in his side. DIR. Laponi found
some fever, and ordered the patient
to remain in bed and take complete
rest. The physician has since
visited the Pope three times. 1t is
almost certain that the pontifical
receptions and ceremonies fixed for
March and 3 will be counter
manded.
DIR. Laponi slept at the Vatican
to might. He declines to give any
information. Dr. Mazzoni has also
visited the Pope professionally
during the day.
Callers at the Vatican have found
everything in the usual condition
there, and all inquiries were met
with the denial that the Pope's in
disposition is serious.
His Holiness rose this morning at
II, but DIR. Laponi insisted on his
returning to bed, as he was suffering
from fever following a general CHI i'll,
with pans in the lumbar region.
Cardinal Rampolla, papal Score
tary of State, paid several visits to
the Pope in the course of the day.
The receptions for March and
the service in the papal chapel fixed
for the following day have been
but the diplomatic
dinner arranged for Thursday will
be given -

Men Want Wages Weekly or Fort
Nightly Instead of Monthly,
BOTH SIDES ARE DETERMINED.
Strikers AlIcse That Inconvenience
Results 10 Them from Receiving
Wages Only Twelve Times
Year on the Other Hand
Contractors Collections
Are Not Regular.

The stone cutters employed by William
r. Mason. general stone contractor, cor
ner OF Marshall and Lombardy streets,
are out ON o. strike. The men. fifteen or
twenty skilled workmon, have been out
since Monday morning, and quietly. but
firmly. insist that they VIII not return
10 work for the firm until their demand
has been met Mr. Mason himself is re-
puted TO be a man OF considerable de-
termination. and on yesterday reiterated
his decision not TO give in 10 the men.
I'm the meantime tho works are oyerrun
with orders both from thc city and out
! side pointss.
STRIKERS GRIEVANCE
The strikers grievanca is that pay-days
are TOO far apart. IL mas peen inc Gus
tom 10 nav of once "a month Dissatis-
faction with this Arrangement has e1-
listed for some time. eliminating on sat
urdav i'm a unanimous decision on the
mart Of the force 90 ask for either weekly
or fortnightly payment of wages.
A committee of the wlrkmeu waited on
Mr. Mason Saturday and laid their griey-
ance before him. No immediate answer
vas expected.
ON Monday the men returned 10 the
works but instead of going 10 work
fingered about the premises until Mr.
Mason arrived The proprietor did not
waste words. He refused 10 make pay
davs more frequent, and gave the men
their choice of going 60 work or IeaFlhs
the shop. They left.
The strikers. who average probably
500 per day. are not asking for more
pay. They contend, however, that re-
coiving their wages only once a month
they are subjected very often to serious
Inconvenience in their domestic financial
transactions.
Mr.. Mason who is perhaps the largest
stone contractor in the city, claims that
collections I'm the business are necessarily
slow or, rather In la~re amounts from
time 10 time. To make frequent pay
rolls under the circumstances would, II
is stated. inconvenience him.
MEMS HOMES ARE HERE.
Most Of the strikers have been living
I'm Richmond for n number of years and
probably half OF them are married men
with families.
They have an advantage i'm the present
contention i'm the general demand for
stone masons Should Mr.. Mason remain
stoadfast I'm the position he has taken.
il is believed the workmen would find
little difficulty In securing employment
elsewhere.
Mr.. Mason. IL Is said. has n large
amount Of work contracted for. He was
On Newport Ncws few days ago and is
understood % have received good order
for work there.
ANOTHER STRIKE IMPENDING.

20 be threatened at The works Of another
large contractor. Air. George Donald.
whose plant Is located in the city on the
line OF the Richmond and Danville di-
vision OF the Southern Railway. The
force there has preferred REQUEST for
either weekly or somi-monthly pay DAYS.

consideration.
