There is something in the career of
John Mitchell. the labor leader. hat

/, week He gets a salary of $ 800
a year, but his contributions to the
various labor funds cut this down to
the figure noted. He advised against
the recent coal strike, and it was de-
clared over his head, so to speak. by
the insistent miners. He proposed at
the White House conference to sub
nit the whole matter to arbitration.
And his bearing on the stand as "a
witness under broadsides of cross ex-
animation questions asked by the
ablest lawyers Obtainable by the
coal operators marks him as an un-
usual man. His readiness in reply
his mental agilityin parrying load
ed question, and vet his never with
holding an answer to every question
drew forth an expression of admira-
ton from Wayne MacVeagh, one of
the greatest lawyers of the country.
The battle between labor leader and
attorney was indeed a brilliant one.
All the world loves good witness.
Sam Weller, who made such a fine
showing for the defendant in the ia
nous case of Bardell VS.. Pickwick,
has an undying place in our hearts.
We always admire brains and Mr..
Mitchell has shown during the ordeal
that he is now passing through that
he is equipped with Ii full set.

THE NEGROES SOCIAL POSITION
ESTABLISHED.
Wilmington Messenger.

1t is fact we'll established both at
the North and at the South that So
cially the negro has position as
signed to him which he must occupy
and that as soon as he OverstepS the
boundaries OF that position he is met
with hostile treatment. though the
people of the former section try to
deny the existence of such conditions
among them, while we OF the South
admit it and Justify it by the prin-
ciple that the two races must remain
separate and distinct socially. We
treat the negro fairly and give him
his Just rights. This is we'll illustrated
i'll the matter OF paying for his edu-
cation by taxing ourselves therefor
more than even Justice requires. An
unbiased Judgment as to the treat
ment OF the negro North and South
would be III favor of the latter sec
ton. Every well-behaved negro in
the South has given him as fair a
chance as is given to the white peO-
pie. He can live here quietly and
peaceably; is given the opportunity
to accumulate property and to edu-
cate himself and his children at the
expense OF the white people.

Another Assault Upon the South.
GOldsbOrO Argus.

1 NOAuooolo hiSuo'
At the demand of Northern dairy
men the Republicans in Congress
passed the OleOmargaine bill, thus
striking a blow at cOttOn-seed oil, a
Southern product, and putting addi-
tional money in the pockets of North
ern farmers. Mr. GrOsvenOr and the
wool growers now demand the pass
age of another bill that shall tax
shOddy out of existence, as OleOmar-
garinn had been treated by the last
session OF Congress. ShOddy chiefly
consists OF cotton, and the clothing.
worn by the average man in this
country is chiefly composed OF shOd-
dy. SO great is its use in cheapenine'
clothing, it is estimated the shOddy
consumed in this country is equiva-
lent to the fieeces of forty million out
of it's siXty-three million sheep. ShOd-
dy is mixed with wool when it is
ready for use in the production of
textile fabrics, thus greatly lessening'
the cost of clothing, while of course
diminishing its value and warmth.
The Northern wool growers are
thoroughly organized, and they pro-
pose to boom the product clipped by
them from their sheep at the eX-
pense of the Southern cotton grower.
The dairymen hit the Southern cot
ton grower first. and now the wool
growers propose to grow rich in like
manner.
How far this fashion is to be car
ried by Northern producers no one
can say. When shoddy is taxed out
OF existence, as Oleomargarine has
been, some other material into which
cotton goes will be attacked and
taxed to death, the Republicans hold
ing that anything is legitimate which
fills Northern pockets and depletes
Southern pockets.

Not alone the Chinese. but physiognom- | istS of other races are of opinion that the | eyebrows and whiskers of a man are just | as essential in their relations to his sue cess in life as his other qualifications.

MOBILE DEPOT CASE
RAILROAD MEN CITED TO
 ANSWER COMPLAINT.
Hearing Will Take Place on July q. Mobile Claims That Terminal Facilities There are AL
 together Inadequate.

On Monday. July !, the application of citizens of Mobile for improved railroad terminal facilities and depot accommo- dations In the Gulf City. will be heard by the Alabama Railroad Commission.
 Yesterday President John " Smith of the Railroad Commission. issued an or der citing Charles Marshall of New Or leans. Division Superintendent of the Louisville and Nashville Railroad con- pany; J. A. Dodson of Chattanooga. Tenn, General Superintendent of the Southern Railway. and Charles s. Clarke. of St. Louis, Mo. General Manager of the Mobile and Ohio Railroad Company; to appear before the Commission on July [. and answer the complaint of citizens of Mobile regarding inadequate depot fa- cilities.
 Petitions regarding the Mobile depot and terminal accommodations have been filed with the Railroad Commission by the Mayor and members of the City Council of Mobile, the Mobile Chamber of Commerce, and the Mobile Commer- cial Club. The petitioners have been mo- tified of the citations sent to the rail- road officials, and have been asked to be present at the hearing.
 For long time efforts have been made by the people of Mobile to get the rail- roads entering that city to agree upon improved terminal facilities. and to main tain union railway station there. These efforts have failed because the railroads contended that there was not an avail able location for the building of union railway station.
 The petition of the citizens of Mobile and the commercial organizations ask that each railroad entering the city be required to build and maintain separate passenger stations unless they can agree between themselves upon the building and maintenance of union station.
 President Smith of the Railroad Com mission. said yesterday he was of the opinion that the railroad depot accom- modations of Mobile are inadequate to city Of the size and importance of Mobile He indicated. that there is probability an agreement will be reached between the railroads whereby union railway station will be built in Mobile at an early date.

advanced by a man, who is widely known as professor of law and judge. With all due respect to the person to whom such opinions are attributed. It must be said that any proposition of this sort tends toward degeneration and barbarism. No other element more surely indicates the grade which any people has reached in the rise of men from savagery to Chris hilton of the sacredness of human life. Any proposition whatever no matter from whom 1t comes. which aims at le- galizing, by painless methods or other wise, the murder of the helpless by those in whose care they are, deserves swift, severe and unsparing reproduction. The humanitarian purpose of the advocate of such a proposal may be conceded. but the just characterization of the infamous proposition should be none the less mer- cilese.

REVOKED THE CALL
COUNCIL FAILED TO HOLD sPE-
 CrAL MEETING.
Was to Consider Leasing Billing Residence for School, But Offer to Rent Was Withdrawn.
 Building Too Small.

The special meeting of the City Ccun- cil, which had been called for last night. was indefinitely postponed yesterday shortly after the issuance of the call.
 The meeting had been called to consider a bid made by the Calhoun-Chamberlain School for Girls, formerly of Red Bank, N. J., but which will be established in Montgomery in the fall, for the leasing from the city of the Billing residence on Clayton Street
 It will be recalled that at the last reg ular meeting of the Council, F. M. Bill ing gave to the city his handsome resi- dence in settlement of the second divi- dend of 12 1-2 per cent, due the city from the suspended banking house of Josiah Morris & Co.
 It is understood that at the Saturday night meeting of the Board of Education, a proposition for the renting of the build ing to the Calhoun Chamberlain School was discussed and the proposition re- ferred to the City Council.
 To act upon, the matter, President Flem- ing of the Council called a special meet ing for o'clock last night. While the members of the Council were being noti- fled, it was found that the Billing resi- dence was too small for the require me nts of the school, and the call was re- voked.
 Miss Calhcun who is at the head of the school had written to her representatives in Montgomery that a building contain ing fourteen rooms would be required, and that the Billing residence has only nine rooms. An inspection of the resi- dence was made by Phares Coleman, who is at the head of the committee from the Commercial and Industrial Associa- tion, which secured the removal of the school from Red Bank to Montgom- cry. The inspection was made in com pany with other friends of Miss Calhoun, with whom she had been in communica- tion. They reported that the building was too small and the offer to rent it was wifi fhdra wn
