ultimatum that was to have been siHeh
today deferred, the status or the SUM
of the car repairers of the New 10TH ~
trail railroad is unchanged tonight eAeep,
ing so far as the action or Presiuei' -

The leaders of the strike were tonight
very pronounced in their expressions OF
determination to make no concessions
Tonight about 1000 freight handlers en-
ployed in the railway freight houses OF the
roads entering Buffalo, other than the
Lake shore decided TO strike for an in
crease of wages and shorter hours.

NEW YORK. April 3O-Commissioner
Delehanty of the state board of media
ton and arbitration conferred with super.
lntendent of Motive Power A. NJ wan, OF
the New York Central q HUDSON Rlver
railroad, today in regard TO the strlklne
men at Buffalo who have asked for an
increase of 10 per cent in pay. AFTER the
conference 1t was announced that super
falo to meet a committee of striking EN-
ployes, or would receive such committee
here If the men preferred. Mr.. Wait SAID
about $50 shop and yard men were on
strike.
Superintendent Waits Statement.
Superintendent Wait, after a consulta-
ton with President Galloway, gave Com
missioner Delehanty the following state
ment in reply to the demand OF the strik-
ing employees of the road in Buffalo:
1.-THE New York Central desires to deal
not only justly but deliberately with its
employees on the subject of wages. With
this object, without any demand, IT vol
unfairly within sixty days increased the
wages of many of the men now out on
strike. 1t is found on investigation that
the company is now paying higher wages
than some companies and as high as any
company similarly situated. but notwith-
standing this situation the company will
take up any question OF adjustment or
wages. In reply to the demand that no
one shall be employed or discharged by
the company except with the consent of
the men who are now out, the position
of the company is: The officers being re-
sponsible for the safety of the lives of
its passengers and employees, for the pro-
lection of the public In the operation of
the railroad, and for its rapid carriage OF
the business the company cannot delegate
to others the selection of the men upon
whose skill and fidelity SO much depends"
Commissioner Delehanty at once tele-
graphed Superintendent Waits reply to

1t is said that circumstantial evil

the only evidence which admits OF no
doubt, when so joined, link by link, as
TO form perfect chain Of facts. This

human sight and hearing is frequently
at fault. Everyone is familiar with
the often-cited case of the man, who
was struck by an assassin, armed with
a dagger, who, Immediately upon the
commission OF the crime, fed The
stricken man did not at once fall, and

whose help he had come fell to the

passers-by had seen what they sup
posed was one man strike down another
with Il dagger. Years afterwards the
true facts of the case were brought to
light Circumstantial evidence may be,
and probably is, all that it's supporters
claim for it; but the links in the chain
of evidcnve should be facts proved so
convincingly as not to admit OF n reas-

experts, especially those who make n
business of the matter are prone to tcs-

are called.
1t may be perfectly proper to rein
force facts by this class of testimony,
but to deprive a man of his life upon

follows the day we shall have revolu-
lions in this republic as well as in the
republics to the south OF us.-Rich-
mond Times.
There was a time when that was
true of this country. 1t should always
be true, and may possibly be true yet;
as we devoutly pray 1t may. But there
is reason to doubt If the North Ameri-
cans now possess the temper of &c;
the fiery resentment OF wrong which
flames into revolution in South Amer
lea and the Philippines, or "the gall to
make oppression bitter enough to, make
us choose liberty or death.
A large majority of the present rul-
ing classes have been debauched by
partizanry. money-bags, and the lust
of power. If the people cannot be
brought to a peaceful revolution at the
polls this year; IL they cannot or will
not see to what an oligarchy we are
subjected in every department of our
Federal administration; and if MOTH
ING in our present condition and its
plain provisions OF what is to come Of

change the mastery of government to
other and safer hands, the prospect
will be almost hopeless for any deliv-
GRANGE. and we shall have lost our lib
critics, perhaps forever!
Not only right. reason. conscience
and instinct demand fair play among
men, whatever the constitutions and
laws of the country may be, but ma
ture, fate and chance itself all combine,
in the long run, to enforce fair play
and punish its violation. 1.-THE stars

mitted to, not only grows stronger and
expands, but 1t becomes so customary
that men accept it as Inevitable and
make the best of 1t. bad as it may be.

Submission invites imposition and
oppression. Assumed power grows
more arrogant and powerful. The

all the horrors Of internal strife. If

ALL ToGETHERi

Every citizen of a city or section
should be Jealous Of an opportunity to
put his shoulder to the wheel of pro-
gress and assist in furnishing the mo-
tive power necessary to keep his com
munity fully abreast with the times in
every possible development of its ma
tlonal resources.
Publicity has long been recognized as
The motive power of business, and with
out 1t business is really and truly
slow-certalnly not in the class with
modern ideas in this age of rapid
transit. What may be said OF indvid-
ual business interests is equally true
of the vast and varied interests of a
city or section. However magnificent
their natural advantages and resources,
they avail very little unless the great
multitude of investors and home-seek-
ers in every section OF the world are
enlightened ana taught to appreciate
them through judicious advertising.
This is what the Virginlan-P pro-
poses to do for our city and section in
the issue of Its Twentieth Century
Edition." and. no effort will be spared
on the part Of the management of this
paper TO make the issue fulfil its mis-
sion. The VirglnanP Pilot proposes to
make 1t complete in every detail and no
interest or resource of this section will
be omitted, so that any one interested
may be able to obtain from its columns
an answer TO every reasonable question
which could be asked, statistical or
otherwise. which would be OF value to
u prospective resident or investor.
This Is great undertaking--m
times as great rs has ever before been
attempted in Norfolk--and the cost Of
issue will necessarily be very large,
certainly not less than ten thousand
dollars.
The Vlrgnian-Pilot has, however
great faith in the public spirit of our
citizens and business men, and feels
very sure that such an enterprise will
not be wanting in support In fact,
those who have been approached on
the subject are practically unanimous.
not only In their earnest expressions of
approval and encouragement, but in
their liberal and substantial material
support. Every one seems to agree
with us that Norfolk, Portsmouth and
the cities and towns in the Immediate
section have arrived at a period In their
history when to know them is to appre-
ciate them. and that the world should
be made to realize that no finer coun-
try on earth exists either to live or do
business in.
The Virginian-P Pilot proposes to do it's
fun share Of The work and bear It's full
proportion of the expense necessary to
& accomplish The desired end, and only
asks that 1t be met by a like spirit in
It's enterprise. Put your shoulder to
the wheel All topotbart

FAIR PLAY WANTING.

SO long as the voters arc satisfied
lhat they are getting fair play they
are not disposed to make trouble. But
as soon as 1t is discovered that by
trckery or force, or by Whatever
means elections are so manipulated as
70 defeat the will of the majority and
70 continue the minority in power
whether Or not, then. naturally, the
majority are in revolt. If elections are
not the means of fairly contending
questions Of dispute between contend
ing parties. then elections Will be re-
aoudIated and men will settle their diff
ferences In more heroic way. If
ballots will not do. bullets will be en-
ployed.

North America as Of the States of

The millennium Of pirates may not
be here. but it is near at hand, unless
God and man avert 1t by their joint
efforts; for man must do his part, or
be swallowed up in the desolation and
abomination with which pirates and
piracy are overwhelming the earth.
or course, pirates and their friends will
laugh at all this. and keep on with
their work of blood and robbery until
mankind, driven to desperation, shall
overcome violence with violence.
