Mr.. Hall demonstrates his LOYALTY 70

has adopted a method that all trna
friends should pursue-that of cr;t;
clslng in love and showing us orr

tional or trumped-up charges. bat
we do believe that it would mako
us better men and women and a bet

THE COAL STRIKE.

With one accord the newspapers
throughout the United States have
denounced the mine owners for the
prevailing condition of the coal fam
Inc. The people also have in large
degree joined in the clamor, though
the latter have not been as loud in
their expressions as they will be
when cold weather and an empty bin
Jointly confront them. The oues-
ton is, will the people and press for
get their wrongs when the party
which permits such combines and
fosters trusts appeals to the "dear
people" for reimbursement Sena-
tor Hanna some months ago dotted
his kid gloves and condescended to
shake hands with horny-handed sons
OF toll, going so far in catering for
their favor as to announce himself
to be their arbiter in cases of labor
troubles. He claims now to have
interested himself in seeking to bring
the coal strike to an end, but saws
his efforts have been in vain. The
Senator has faced sitter PROPOSE
lions than this before and won out.
and no reasonable man believes for
moment that had his heart been in
this work he could have forced the
coal barons to fair terms.
Many strikes are the result of SEN
sltlve and meddling labor bosses, and
DO not merit the sympathy of the
people in general; but in the present
continuation the mine owners seem
to be chiefly at fault, and as far as
can be Judged they will lose nothing
by the strike. Their coal deposits
are still intact and far more valuable
to-day than they were three months
ago. For their reserve supply they
are receiving three times the money
that they would have otherwise got
ten, and when operations begin
again prices will continue at a high
rate for quite period. So we can
cial gathers through it all, whereas
labor has suffered to the extent of
many million dollars, and it NAV
reach the billion mark before the
end comes. Neither Morgan nor
llama, very naturally, are losing
sleep over prevailing conditions. but
many women and children through
out our land are nearing staryation's
point, many idle workmen yerpinp
on despair are being tutored as law
breakers and criminals, and hosts Of .
minor industries are suffering while
these magnates move along undis-
lurbed. Mitchell, the president of
Inc miners, is begging the barons to
'eheVe the situation, and promises
or his people to edo anything hon.
'raoie TO that end. The country
las never known more disastrous
abor trouble and why we are not
erging on revolution is greatly to
ne credit of American temperament. a

The Rev. DR.. 9. III. Crawford is
having printed for campaign liter
allure an appeal, urging the people
of the State not to let the represen-
tatives in the general assembly for
get Judge Campbells recent action
ia the celebrated Campbell Crawford
case. We think this a mistake on
the part of DR.. Crawford-a griey-
Gus mistake, and one that will mill
tate against him and the cause he
represents, while at the same time il
will gain friends for Judge Camp
bell. The people of Virginia, whose
sympathies have been with DIR. Craw-
ford and against Judge Campbell,
will hardly view this movement of
persecution with good favor, and it
comes In very poor taste from a min
lister of the Gospel that he should
tolst himself upon the people as a
martyr aud make personal issue of
his troubles. Judge Campbell has and
will continue to suffer punishment
for his rash act as only sensitive and
high-strung dispositions can suffer,
and Mr.. Crawford and his friends
should follow the teachings of their
Divine Master and let conscience be
the accuser.

The establishment Of shirt facto-
ries is becoming quite an enterprise
throughout the South, where loca-
ton is cheaper than at the North
and labor seems easier 10 get. Fred
ericksburg has under construction a
150-machine factory and Urbanna
will shortly have 15O-machine one.
Any locality should welcome the
coming of such enterprises, the chief
benefit TO be derived being the OPP
portunity given girls and women to
do decent, healthy and remunerative
work. We need such industries all
over our State, aud our women
should not hesitate to enter the EN-.
ployment of these factories nor to
give them encouragement. Those
that we have knowledge of were in.
sttuted by gentlemen, and the fore
manships and heads of departments
are controlled by ladies. In Sound
ing around" among our business men
we believe there is prospect of start
ing one in Lancaster county-pos-
sibly in Irviugton. In fact, we could
assure our people of its establish
ment if we could be certain that fif-
ty or sixty ladies would undertake
the service. There is no pedalling
of the machines and the operators
have only to guide the stitches.
