TELEPHONES,
CALLED DOWN.

Governor Odell did right to call down
the great Baer when the latter grossly
,nsiuuated that the former was playing
the part Of a politician in advising that
the coal strike be compromised
Mr.. Odeil is a Republican. but a man
of some independence of character Quite
recently he refused TO follow Tom Platt,
who wished a certain Trust candidate
to be nominated by the Saratoga con-
vention Mr.. odell, as he said to MT
Baer, is the executive of a State which
has a population of 100000. of which
number we venture to say not 10000 peo-
ple want the strike to continue. All the
rest would rejoice to see the questions In
dispute submitted to arbitration.
Much has been said about the donin-
ating disposition of the labor unions
much that is true, no doubt-but what OF
tAa Estimating disposition of the coal
barons? Recollect how they have crowd
ed small operators out of business; how
they have stifled competition by their
alliances with railroads; how they have
fixed prices; how they have had tariffs
passed in their interest; how they have
brought 10 this country the lowest grade
Of foreign labor to keep down American
miners wages. Recollect how insolent
they were to the President and how they
have undertaken TO sit down upon
Governor Odell!
The American people are far too
tp+o foi
minded to lay all the blame of existing
conditions upon labor unionisrn. No doubt
The labor agitatcrs are fairly charseable
With much blame, but the coal field
nonopolists can't plead that they are
without fault. Nor do we presume to
say that Governor Odell is wholly dis
interested in his efforts TO bring about a
settlement. He must know that If the
present distressful situation continues
until the November elections occur his
party will suffer at the polls, but for
all that the view he presents is that of
the masses, without respect to party
utilization.
The Republican party, through its tariff
and its trusts. is largely accountable for
the trouble the country is in, and it is
rs little as its leaders ought TO do to try
10 bring about peace-temporary though
1t be. The miners have been demand
ing 10 per cent. advance in the rates
paid them, but Governor Odell is willing
10 undertake to negotiate with them upon
he basis OF compromise which will
give them a per cent. rise. Probably
Mr.. Baer would accept those figures, but
.e says he Will not recognize the labor
unions; no, never! The operators may
band together, but the operatives shan't
That's the point Of disagreement, we

Quaint old Counterpane.

To the Editor of the Dispatch:
Having seen in Sundays Dispatch OF
October 5th, a description Of an old count
erpane, made in 1877. I will say that l
have one, presumably, much older than
that, made from cotton, hand picked,
hand-spun, and hand-woven. The de-
sign is woven in eight-sheet harness,
which was difficult and rare IN those
days.
It is large, made for tester bedstead,
and has fringe, which, is also hand
spun and hand-woven. The whole is in
perfect condition, having been carefully
kept as an heirloom. It came to me from

a PURE ELECTION.

Let us have no questionable methods in
the conduct of the coming election. Let it
be absolutely free and fair to all parties
Let every man east the ballot he desires
to cast, and have 1t honestly counted-The
Wytherille Dispatch.
Aye, aye, say we.
We have made a Constitution to suit
ourselves. We have restricted the negro
vote enormously. Here in Richmond, for
instance. there are ten white voters to one
black.
No longer is there any danger of ne
gro domination and neither press nor
people will tolerate any short cuts to
Victories at the polls
The voting list and the election law are
of our own making. and now whoever VIC
iates the Democratic party's pledge in re-
spect to honest elections will find himself
standing alone, unsustained by the press
or the public, and in Imminent danger of
going to the penitentiary.

Even classic Athens has to contend with
the milk adulteration problem. and the
adulteration is practiced right before the
eyes Of the purchaser. The residents con-
sumo large quantities of goats milk. and
herds of goats are led along the streets
by milk sellers, who wear long blouses
with capacious sleeves. Their cry, says
a Greek publication, brings the housewife
to the door. and she. demands that the
goats shall be MIXED in her presence.
This is dcne, but the milkman has in
one hand the end OF thin tube, which
runs up his sleeve and connects with an
india rubber receptacle full Of water con-
cealed under his ample blouse At each
pressure of the fingers on the udder there
is 2 corresponding compression of the
water receptacle. and the two fluids flow
side by side into the milk pail.

insurance. -Four young men have said
20 me lately: 7 can't marry while my
! mother Ives No insurance; no savings
OF any kind had been left to the mothers.
"A sensitive mother needs be pitied under
such circumstances. Some are not SO.
and accept 1t as right, and sometimes It
is, as her poverty is not Of her making,
but her husband s.
Girls are equally handicapped. A girl
told me she refused to marry the man
she loved because she could not burden
him with her people. Should a girl marry
with dependent parents; she must tramplc
pride under foot to ask favors of her
husband It may be she will finally rebel
for the husband sake. The parents feel
forsaken. and the world calls her heart
less. These same parents may never
have been more than parents in name.
but they are held blameIess. and
the daughter censured. There are more
children martyrs to parents than this
world dreams Of People and the Bible
as rule uphold the parents, but the
time may come when parents will think
that the whole duty is theirs and not the
cfildren's.
That marriage is on the wane Is not
surprising. a girl may be beautiful,
but if she has a background of depend
ent people then the charm for young men
is lessened.
Young men can't undertake the respon-
sibility of two families, and so the world
stands.
The outlook is gloomy, and the only
safeguard is saving; saving not penuri-
ously, but Systematically.
Lay. aside false pride, dress simply,
send fewer boxes of candy to the girls;
they know just how poor you are Save
and save every available penny. The girl
can save too, fewer ribbons and bonbons,
and then something in the savings bank.
Children should be taught to save from
the time they know the value of money.
They should be given so much to save,
and so much to spend.
AS much as we wish to deny 1t, money
is the power that rules, and it of itself
is not to be sought after, but the COM
forts it brings; comforts for ourselves
and children, and, best of all, comforts
in old age, and to be independent OF our
chi]dren's financial help, thus enabling
them to go forth into the world free from
shackles. TRIXY DASH.
