Mr.. Russell holds the land question
supreme in all that affects the Irish

ills of the p~easantry will continue to
multiply. He insists that a way for
the Inshman to own his own land

The Better way.

From the Portland Oregonian.
Violence has not attended strikes
thus far this year. This may be ia
ken to indicate the lawful and
praiseworthy determination of the
workingman to better his condition
as expressed in thorough organiza-
ton and the selection of competent
leaders. The trouble in former
years has been largely with the agi-
tator. who was voluble in proclaim
ing the grievances of labor, but
barren in intelligent expedients for
their abrogahon. The demand Of
labor for its share through reasona-
bic increase Of wages, IN the pros
Perity that now prevails, has the
Endorsement of public opinion. This
Endorsement, its allied hosts cannot
afford to forfeit by violence in sup
port of their contention. They I'M
derstand this fully, and, to the
extent that they act in accordance
with this knowledge, basing their
contention upon the justice of their
cause, strikes will be entered upon
guardedly as a last resort. Having
been entered upon, they will be
conducted without violence and on
the basis of reasonable concession
to a successful issue.

Some Of the news which has
come from the Philippines is most
distressing to the administration
and Senator Lodge remarked yes
terday that he heartily deprecated
the alleged order of General Smith,
but the very fact that the President
ordered the General to be court
martialed Immediately upon receiv-
ing authentic news Of his cruel order
should be SUFFICIENT evidence that
such measures are most exception
al and will not be permitted to 60
unpublished by the administration.
Considering the drastic and prompt
means which the President and the
Secretary Of War have taken to
prevent any recurrence OF cruelty
to the Filippenos. it is difficult to
see how the democrats can escape
the charge of demaRoguery aud
lack OF patriotism in seeking to
ventlate the few ohenses Of the
American soldiers. The readiness
with which the Senate Philippines
Committee has responded 10 the
demands OF the minority, that all
witnesses be summoned before the
Committee, irrespective Of the an
ucipated nature Of their testimony,
completely reiutes the charge that
the republicans are seeking to sup
press the facts. Admiral Dewey

We are going to have a great Fair next
fall | am especially anxious to have
good exhibit of machinery. The colored
people are leaving the farms for the
North, and going to the public works, and
as l said we must get machinery-gang
plows, binders, reapers-to make up for
our losses in labor.
"Our farmers must study this question.

matter of scientific agriculture much
consideration, and it is of great value
to our State. Commi issioner S. l.. Pat
terson is active in his efforts to pro-

'The Board of Agriculture has done a
great deal for the Fair, and every mem
Der of the board feels an interest in it. "
Col Cunningham said that he believes
that the use of fertilizer is on the in
crease in North Carolina and that more
fertilizer will be used next year by the
farmers than ever before.
