After the interesting ceremony all
the guests were invited to the
handsome residence of Mr. VIM.

containing the best of everything
in the way of eatables that North
Dakota and Northern Canada pro-
duce. Refreshments and Gen.

further extension of thirty miles
will be made from the river during
the summer. The contractors
haye agreed to complete the work
by Nov. l, and for that reason it
will be necessary for them to use
a large number of men. It was

CHICAGO, April 19.-Mayor Harrison
has taken a hand in the labor troubles
by calling a number of manufacturers
and dealers in building material to-
gether to discuss a way to settle the
difficulty. The plan is. for the material
men to arrange a joint meeting Of arbi-
tratlon committees from the building
contractors and the building trades
council, with q committee of their own
rs referee. The conference was at.
tended by 10 material dealers represent
ing 80 per cent of the building inter-
ests. The mayor explained his object
and they adjourned until morning. I'M
portant developments arc looked for.
1t was stated that the building con-
tractors and building trades councils
would be urged voluntarily to dissolve
in the event of a
Failure to Open Negotiations
between the contractors and the unions.
AS the contractors council has declared
repeatedly that it will not treat with
any labor union affiliated with the
trades council, the belief is prevalent
that the only solution of the problem is
for both organizations to quit.
II hope to see the strike settled"
said the mayor later, 'and called in the
material men because they are actually
the sufferers in the lockout. I have
asked the contractors and laborers to
meet with me with a view of settling
their difficulties by arbitration but they
have refused, and now. we will take
another tack" F,

RICHARD HAIR DING DAVIS ON
The TRANSVAAL SITUATION.

Richard Harding Davis is not over
modest, but he has the extremely valu-
able ability to see things with his own
eyes. and to make other people see
them rather clearly. He has done the
best work of any correspondent in
South Africa. and has seen the war
from both the British and the Bocr
side. lie has just returned to New York
and expresses views that seem Il trifle
strange just at this time.
Mr.. Davis takes the ground that the
I3oer war is not over by any means.
and even goes so far as to assert that
the Beers are In Il better condition for
the struggle than when the war began.
Cronje and Joubert were out of date,
he says: new and better men have re-
placed them: the Beers have provisions
to last two years and are in fine fet-
tie; Roberts is At Pretoria. where he
has much ado 10 hold his own.
This view of the siS,ation may be
accurate. Every friend OF human libcr-
~ should hope so. If it he. then surely
the situation in South Africa is being
as grossly distorted by English press
representatives as the situation in
China. The assertion Of Mr.. Davis that
the Beers have plenty OF food cannot
be reconcilcd with recent dispatches
that represented them as starving and
disheartened.
There is little doubt that the English
correspondents. either willingly or by
compulsion of the censor, who. accord
ing to MIR. Davis. sarbled dispatches To
suit himself. paint the situation, from
the English side, in 100 rosy Colors.
ON the other hand. MFR. Davis may be
| giving the Beers better prospects than
they really have. lie had glorious
row. with the English the censor par
| ticularly. and went over to the Beers.
and may. therefore. not be an entirely
impartial witness. Nevertheless. if the
Boer war were not forgotten. his views
would have created something of Il
sensation.

THE GERMAN VOTE AND
IMPERIALISM.

SO much has been said about the
German vote and it's value as the bal
ance of power in the Presidential cleo
ton this fall. that 1t is interesting to
note the exact figures in some of the
States where the German element is
largest. 1t Is not altogether improba-
BILE that undue emphasis has been laid
on the German vote, and ii should be
kept IN mind that any vote that is
large enough to constitute a balance
of power will not necessarily play that
role In an election. Thus. either the
smooth-shaven men or the bearded
men of the country constitute n bal
ance Of power IL they could be induced
to go solidly one way or the other.
But they vote as they please and di-
vide between the parties. The Ger
man-Americans may very we'll do the
same and so not constitute the bal
ance of power at all.
In 1896. however. the German voters
did show considerable conference. II
being estimated that from so to 90 per
cent. of the vote in the States then
given went to Mckinley. If this year
this vote turn with anything like sim
liar unanimity to Bryan. the Demo-
Gratis would win. unless other elements
should shift to Mckinley. The cam
paign managers are going upon the
supposition that the German vote will
maintain this measurable solidarity
and are lighting for it in a lump as
the determining factor in this falls
election. The following is a statement
of the German population and vote in
some of the Middle Western States,
and also of the number of votes the
Democrats must gain over 1896 in or
der to carry such States:

IN A WORD.

The people of this port have spoken
and have spoken In no uncertain
sound. against the extension of the
Norfolk and Western piers further into
the Channel.
Except in public mass indignation
meetings, the columns of n daily paper
is about the only place in which public
opinion finds an expression. Public
opinion has expressed itself. The
Board of Harbor Commissioners is the
creature Of the Councils and the SER
wants of the people. They are appoint
ed to look out for the interests of the
people, just as Mr.. Churchill and Mr..
johnson look out for the interests of
the Norfolk and Western-as it's en-
pioyees, which is perfectly correct.
The Harbor Commissioners, there
fore, sit not as judges to decide be-
tween the city and the Norfolk and
Western, but as the agents and repre-
scntativcs of the cities Of this Port and
Norfolk county.
The Norfolk and Western has made
plain Its postion-that of Increasing
its property" again, as ii did with the
Groner Board. and of Saving the ex-
pcnse of dredging and building two
piers" This Is the railroads side. In
return. the railroad tells you plainly
that lit is not looking out for the Har-
Dor. IL is after "sduing cspcnsc and in
crcdsing IT'S property" 1t has another
way of accomplishing Its end. but the
other is cheaper.
In word. then. will you stop up the
harbor at the entrance for no other pur-
pose than to increase the Norfolk and
Western property and save il some ex-
penditure in building and operating?"
What will you do?

Whatever Of protest there has been
tics. and the not unnatural impatience
of the Southerner at the stupidity Of
the negro in allowing himself to be
used and cozened year after year by
political marplots and Adventures.
Race feeling is much less bitter in
Virginia than in some of the other
Southern States, because the Virginia
negro is of better class. for one
thing. and because the danger OF ne
gro domination is less acute. 1t would
be strange and homogeneous should
this State so further than any other
Southern State under such circum-
stances. We do not share the view of
the Free Lance. therefore, that a ma
Jority of the Democrats who favor a
revision of the constitution also favor
division of the school fund between
the races in the ratio of the taxes they
pay. On the contrary. there is nothing
to show that such proposition would
enlist the support of any save a mi
nority whose antipathy to the negro
units it for a calm consideration of
what might follow from so monstrous
a step as contriving the degeneracy of
Il large percentage of the States pop
ulation. Courts, jails and penitentia-
ries are poorer investments than
schools. The school tax proposition
does not necessarily follow the suf-
frage question.
