OF the Norfolk Railway and Light Com
Dany, stated yesterday that they are
now willing to abide by the decision oil

clared that members OF the committee
are endeavoring to get the company to
take the men back under the terms of
the arbitration, but that it has to take
back the full IS per cent. OF them for
which the terms provide. IL is stated
that another attempt to srbitrate the
differences will be made.

For who could e'er forget mothers love?
May her spirit linger near
To guide me through this world so drear
Till, at last, meet her in that brighter land

IT Is A SAD fact to contemplate, and
one which must bring blush OF shame
to the cheeks of all Americans when
they are thrown among representatives
Of other nations, that nearly every
thing the United States has attempted
to do during the past three or four
years 10 connection with its new &C.
quisitions, a scsndal-colossal in lite
proportioOs-bas resulted. Hardly
had the disgrsceiul matter in connec-
ton with Cuban postal affairs been
dealt with and people who attempted
to loot that island been sentenced
to Imprisonment, when the country is
startled by q charge on the floor OF
Congress that half a million OF dollars
was spent among those high In su-
thority, Congressman, and newspaper
mep, in connection with futthering the
movement toward the purchase by the
Uoitsd States OF the Danish West
Indies. 1t is 10 be regret tied that such
a simple matter as the requirement Of
these islands by purchase could not
have been consummatsd with clean
hands. No wonder European comic
papers picture the personifcation OF
this country as q predatory giant
whose vorsciousness Is akin to that OF
a shark. The prevailing idea among
many who are identified with the
negotiations of the government is that
there must be money 10 everything
they touch.

PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT declared q
few days ago that no deserter, from
either the army or the navy, at any
period OF the country's history, will
find favor in his eyes. And he is per-
fectly right. 1t has been only in recent
years that deserter would have had the
cold effrontrS to ask for pension and
men Of principle find it difficult to
understand how any high minded man
In Congress could advocate the re-
wardisg Of deserters. but this is a
commercial age now and some men to
get money would let the world know
that they were deserters, and others,
to curry favor. If nothing more sub
stantial, would assist them In doing
80. Principle with such people is a
sickly sentimentllity and honor lost

FRIDAY EVENING, MAR %, 1902

TODAY is the anniversary OF scenes
ensctsd on Mount Calvary eighteen
hundred and sixty.nine years ago, when
darkness settled over the earth as One
who snake as never man spake exclsim-
ed. ''It is finished" and yielded up bic
spirit. Disciples Of the Great Teacher,
while not specially commanded BY the
scriptures to do 80, have ever since
thought it meet not to allow this an-
niversary to pass without some suitable
recognition; hence the Lenten and
Easter seasons. participated in by pious
souls wherever civilization has ex-
tended. 1t is true that many good and
conscientious people ignore the season
entirely and argue that, ipasmuch as IL
Is not commanded or eDjoined, they are
under no obligations to enter into lts
spirit. All this may be introvertible II
the Bible is to be the only fountain
head for argument, but the Feast OF
Pdrim was not one Of the command
ments of the Pentateuch; the jewish
nation simply incorporated it among
their religious forms and observapces as
O reminder OF the signal manner In
which Jehovah delivered the nation
from the Vaccinations Of Haman who
would have destroyed an entire race in
order 10 get at one man who had in
CURED his eamity. Not one race, but
all mankind has been delivered from
one greater than Haman. The Deliverer
Is One greater than Mordecai or Esther.
While there is no attempt to prove that
all Christians should observe Good
Friday, no one can question the Or
thodoxy OF those who do or the spiritu-
al growth incident thereto.
One man esteemelh one day above another;
another esteemeth every day alike. Let
every man be fully persuaded in mis- OWE
mind.

Or THE many chocolate backs" in
Congress Mr.. Babcock is the softest.
Periodically he announces with a
flourish OF trumpets and with affected
sincerity that Re will advocate
some measure in the House looking
to reduction in tariff duties on GER
tain articles 10 which his constituents
are interested, but, when the time comes
for him to act and the trusts say no,
his courage oozes out at his finger ends,
aad he says and votes as directed.
The latest example of his instability
OF purpose is shown in the Cuban tariff
reduction matter. For weeks he has
stood with the beet sugar men and
against the leaders on the ways and
means committee. but yesterday
he was sent for by the President and
was confronted with the proposition
OF voting against an administration
measure and the majority of his party"
He could not stand the pressure and
yielded, saying, it is reported, st is q
most embarrassing position to be plac-
ed In. Being an administration meas
ure and having the endorsement OF a
majority of the party makes the reduc'
ton a pretty hard thing to vote
against" Against this, Of course, are
his own views in opposition to reduc.
ton, but he has not the courage to
maintain bis views when they are
contrary t } those OF the administration.
Neither the republicans nor the demo-
Gratis need put any faith in the course
Mr.. Babcock saws he intends TO pursue.

demonstrated the fact that the econom-
les Of Socialism are the essential basic

out cooperation in material affairs true
brotherhood and love cannot deveiope

AT night he gave very lucid position
OF the development OF modern capital
ism. aud the necessity OF "a working.
class party" In language simple and
explicit he pointed out to his audience
the conflict OF class interests between
those who are trying to live by wages
and those vho are ensiaving the wage
workers out OF the profits OF their pro-
duction.

course next Sunday at three o'clock at
