THE Charlotte Observer refers to the
gentlemen instructors at the summer
political school in Union and Chester
last week as "swashbucklers." Our es-
teemed contemporary should be more
considerate of these distinguished gen.
tlemen and give at least little weight
to their patriotic motives. Mr.. Cleve-
land might possibly be ''swashbuck-
ler." because he confessed that he was
allowing himself to be Influenced by
such a sordid concern as bread and
butter-material prosperity; but these
other gentlemen-surely no selfishness
can be charged to their account.

CITIZENS Of Greenville have called
upon the County Democratic Executive
committee to arrange for a political
meeting to be held in that city on Au-
gust % and to invite all Of the sena-
torial candidates, including Senator
McLaurin. Let 1t be arranged so that
no speaker shall be allowed to use an
epithet, and then require each to an
swer a portion of Senator McLaurins
now historic Greenville speech. That
speech was uttered nearly three months
ago and no one has ever attempted to
answer a sentence of it yet.

IN this day Of big corporations whose
capital stock is generally divided into
500 shares, it looks as IL there should
be a better way Of settling labor dis.
putes than by constant strife between
capital and labor. The majority OF
stock controls. Labor is generally well
enough paid to admit Of some saving
and If the laborers would strive to buy
stock, they might eventually get to
the point where they could control the
big corporations.

IN a speech last Saturday, at New
Castle, Pa, President Shaffer, Of the
Amalgamated Association Of Iron, Steel
and Tinplate Workers, said:
"In our willingness to settle the mat
ter (the strike) we are willing to arbi-
trate. Let the Amalgamated associa-
ton select one man and let the trust
select one, and these two select the
third. We will abide by the decision OF
the three. I wish this to be generally
known"
Although the dispute Is now consid-
erably aggravated. this proposition IS
perfectly fair and it should be acted
upon.

tam in their respective houses Mr.. Corwine
argued that the work of constructing pipe galleries
in the section of the proposed tunnel below Fifty

d considerable outlay of money. owing TO the in
tricacy Of water, gas, electric and other pipes
under the streets Broadway. he said. is one mass
Of pipes and tubes, particularly at street cross
ings. Mr.. Corwine spoke OF the great danger of
having gas and electric wire pipes in the pipe

sali the company expects 10 derive very large

IN one mile along the Elm-st. route. and in No
Nember ne was forced TO stop work because of the
