Politics and the Strike.

When it was stated that Mark Hanna and J. P. Morgan had discussed to- gether the steel strike, it was seen that a key to a settlement would soon be found. The Republicans have by no means forgotten Homestead, which de- feated Harrison's reelection, and they fear another battle of that sort They do not want big strikes in tariff-made industries even three years before a Presidential election.
 No doubt, too, the vast proportion of water in the steel trusts capitaliza- tion had some influence towards set would be very damaging, and already the independent mills are crowded with rush orders which were accepted at en- ticing figures. The billion-dollar trust is much more open to labor assaults than the old Carnegie concern was, simply because it's stockholders and bondholders, now very numerous, are hurt by depreciation in the values of their securities, and later perhaps by losses in dividends. When Mir. Car negie and a half dozen associates owned the chief property, they did not have to consider the stock market, and they were always ready to brave public sentiment and the politicians, and especially Mark Hanna.
 The billion.dollar concern is not free in any of these respects. It is open to political influence; it fears the stock market, and it is in particular sensi- tive to the desires Of the holders of it's securities. It is these influences that have, or soon will, lead up to settle ment of the strike. The settlement will show substantial gains for the union, and under it the entire estab lishment will probably become union ized. As things are going the union is winning step by step, without blood shed, all it's battles.

man, no faf-sighted man, will oppose home rule dn the conduct of public schools
 The tBlack<Bel has no better friend than The SAge.Herald. It's troubles of a political sort are great, but it has q great future before it. Fertile in the extreme, it will soon become the gar den of tn State. It will not in the long run be wholly devoted to cotton. Other and more profitable products will be grown, as population is increased in the country, and 1t will become exceed ingly prosperous. Relieved of elect oral troubles, 1t can turn wholly to development of it's possibilities. Bet ter schools wlI become a necessity, and this means here and there local taxation. At any rate the Black Belt should not stand fin the way of better schools wherever they are needed and desired. Without local taxation the schools of the State cannot be brought up to the standard of other States. Hliteracy cannot be materially reduced. No pledge as to taxes is involved in local taxation, for no tax would be laid that the people had not first en- dorsed and considered.

Highest

The differences represent the bonds sealed down or repudlated. Tennessee forcibly scaled her debt, as did Vir- ginia. The other States repudiated more than they scaled.
 It is conceded that not few of these bonds have been lost in the course of years, the holders of them believing them to be vs,ueless. But still there are millions of them in existence, and the New York syndicate will doubtless secure a good share of them. The prices they offer. are not disclosed, but the fact that they are buying the bonds is not a secret
 How they intend to enforce their payment has not been disclosed. A State cannot be sued by an individual or by corporation, but one State may sue another, and collection in this way was attempted not long ago, but the courts held that the suit thus brought was but an attempt to evade the law of the land The plans of the syndi. cate are a secret. They are not, how. ever, paying ou. good money for re pudiatsd bonds without some hope of gain in the operation. The Vogel syn dicate needs watching, for it's plans mean mischief to the States that were carpetbagged nearly forty years ago.
 The Ais5ama bonds were worth 90 in 1872; 57 in 1873; 25 in 1874; 43 in 1s.., 26 in 1876; 26 in 1877; 2s in 1878; and 60 in 1879. The present consti- tuition went into effect in 1875, and the price of 1879 was the price of the ad- justed bonded debt.

old Negro Explains Why Prayers for
 Rain Remain Unanswered.

From the St. Louis Globe-Democrat.
 Only one human being has been found in St. Louis who has not expressed his dissatisfaction with the weather. His name Is Washington Calhoun,and judging by his appearance he was 75 years old, a little pickaninny, with a costume far more adapted to the present cli- matic conditions than the homely garb he wears today He is a driver, being the proprietor of a ramshackle cart and an antiquated horse by means of which he does odd jobs. Yesterday little after the sun had reached its nearest point to the earth. he drove down Morgan street and brought up close to the sidewalk near Fourteenth, where group of younger men belonging to his own race were crouched in the shadow of a wall, intent on keeping as cool as possible. Washing ton brought his horse to a standstill and stopped to exchange with the others those domestic questions which are as natural to the colored man of the city pavement as to him of the country lane. He sat in the scalding sun, his face glowing with oily precipitation. but of this he seemed to be unconscious.
 You all aint settin' a very moral pre- cep' to yo' undergrowth settin heah swoppin' lies when yo' ought to be at wuk," he began with the benign grin O.; age When told that 'it was indiscrimi- nate to work while the weather was so torpid.'' he launched forth on homileti- cal monologue characteristic of his age and race II a man talk about a fryin' pan long enough, he gwine to think ter ectly that de flame rotch up and blista hees fingas.
