A NEW PROPOSITION.

While the southern whites have no
unkind feelings for the we'll disposed
negroes, but abominate the criminal
class and the devilish %stirrers up of
strife, they are willing for the exodus
Of the negroes from North Carolina n
the south generally in great numbers.
We believe they would be glad to see
al least one-half pull up and go into
the north. Wilmington could spare a
colony of 5000, with benefit to all
classes, and conditions and races. The
south would be helped if 5,0Q0,0 900 ne
groes would in 1899 remove to the
north, The principle of action prefer
red in a better distribution. We no
tice that in the north quite recently a
paper was read before a society-the
anthropological section of the American
Association for the Advancement Of
Science in New York several days ago
in which he said: ITO solve it dis
tribute the negroes all over the coun-
try and all over it's recent acquisitions.
| A gradual spreading of them will not
| interfere with the industries of any
| section. 1t can be readily done with a
| little help n judicious pressure. Dis
| persed, the negro will become more
| amendable to education and will alb
serb higher ideas of morality" The
| Charleston News and Courier approves
of the idea presented and calls for
directions so the good work shall
begin in this part of the country
The Messenger likes the suggestion Sc
far as it is understood. The Charles
ton contemporary a y properly that il
does mot quite understood what is
meant by 'judicious pressure nor how
it should be applied, but we are al
in a teachabie frame of mind upon this
point"

A COAL MINERS, STRIKE
Likely to Take Place in the Bitumi-
nous Section April LIST

Pittsburg, January "A general
strike in the bituminous coal region is
looked for on April LIST, at the close of
the term of the interstate agreement
by the miners and operators. This
strike can be averted only by the min
ers and operators having an amicable
agreement at the convention to be held
in this city next week. A reported in
terview with Operator Thomas Young,
manager of Hanna coal interests, is as
follows:
at is the intention of the operators
to reduce the mining scale of wages.
The operators cannot afford to main
want a higher rate and the operators
claim a reduction must be made. You
can readily see the miners and opera
tors are far apart There seems to be
little nance of getting together. The
operators do not see how they can
maintain the present scale. Coal is now
being sold below cost. The miners in
this district, comprising four states, are
we'll paid if they could work full time.
They have done pretty we'll during the
past year; in fact, they have made
more money than the operators. The
operators in this district pay SO much
more for mining than operators in the
West Virginia district that they are
not able to compete with them. We
lost business right along for the rea-
son that we could not meet competition.
One reason for the strike will be ar
advance in the price of coal. I do not
anticipate "a coal femme, for the rea-
son thai coal can be obtained from
twenty different fields. The inevitable
result of the strike will be hat the
operators VIII win. The operators do
not look for trouble before April list.

The news from Cuba and others of

We learn from The Washington
Times something of the late Senator

During the reconstruction period fol-

siding three miles northwest Of here,
