Miss CLARA BARTON's new annex 10
the Red Cross Society does not seem to
appeal to the philanthroPhic as was
hoped by its originator. Recently Miss
Barton issued a circular ignoring the
attacks on her management of the Red
Cross and setting forth plan to organize
q relief association, with branches in all
factory towns and cities. She stated 1t
was her purpose to give instruction in
relieving sick and injured persons pend
ing the arrival of physicians Her plan
was to prepare First relief cases. and
sell them to all owners Of factories, mills
and other buildings where accidents are
liable to occur. From the sale Of these
she hoped to raise sufficient funds to pay
the expenses of the association. This
appeal of Miss Barton was regarded by
"the minority" as a mere pretext to
axoid answering its criticisms, and to
make it appear the Red Cross is extend
ing its work and growing in spite of the
efforts of some persous to- have 1t re-
organized on business lines.

THE RICHMOND STRIKE.

The defense in the case of the men
charged with conspiracy in attempting
to wreck a car Of the Richmond Passen-
ger and Power Company IS attempting to
prove that the plot was cOncocted by the
military and street car authorities in an
endeavor to turn public sympathy against
the strikers. 1t is alleged that two of
the men who were arrested with the

thOrities.

questioned as 70 the release of two men
who were arrested along with the other
prisoners. lie knew nothing Of it.
Other members of the Blues we're
questioned along the same line, and the
presumption was created that two men
were arrested and let go.
Conductor Reeder, who was on the
Inflated car, was the only witness of yes
terdav who was not military man, and
his testimony was similar to that Of the
motorman who had previously testified.
The defense failed to draw any helpful
admissions from Reeder, and he told his
story and stuck to it to the end.

FRIDAY EVENING, AUG. 7, 1903.

If THE predictions of some OF the
more pronounced partisans of the defeat
ed candidate for driverof the Hydraullon
hose wagon are to be fulfilled, Alexan-
dria is TO have a strike of volunteer fire.
men on her hands. The issue between
that company and the wardens has
reached an acute stage. The wardens
have respectfully but firmly declined 10
reconsider their action in electing man
as driver who was not recommended by
the company, and members of the latter
are loud in expressions of their purpose
to withdraw from the organization. They
say the other companies Of the city will
20 on sympathetic strike, and in case
of a fire the Chief Engineer Of the Fire
Department will be compelled TO 90 as
did his predecessor half a century ago
conscript all bystanders. 1t IS hoPea
conservatism and common sense may
Guide all who are parties to the circum-
stances which have brought about these
conditions. The wardens merely hold COM
plimentary positions under the city gov
ernment, and they perform their duties
gratuitously. Most people prefer to be-
lieye they elect men to positions III the
department whom they believe to be best
shifted for them, and that their action Is
not superinduced by favoritism. 1t is
mooted question whether they possess
the mower to remove man after he IS
once elected-even for cause. Ihey
are therefore unable to grant the request
of the fire company's committee were
they so disposed. On the other hand
every community having volunteer
fire department should appreciate It's
value. and there is probably none which
is more reliable and energetic than that
of Alexandria, and it is justly valued.
Much Difference therefore should be
shown members of it when no great
nrinciple is involved. The wardens
are we'll known, responsible and repre-
sentative citizens. Their labor, as well
as that of the fremen, is a work of love.
All hope that the good relations which
have heretofore existed between the
fremen and wardens may be speedily
restored, and that those concerned Will
view this much to be deplored family
jar through common sense spectacles
and that no rash action will follow on
the part Of any one.

ONE OF the richest strikes of anthra-
cite made in Wyoming Valley, Pa, was
unearthed on the site of the new Court
House at Wilkesbarre, Pa, when the
workmen engaged in the preliminary
work on the foundation uncovered a
small strata at a depth of 80 feet below
the surface. From the top Of the vein
several specimens were secured and when
these were shown to local coal men they
pronounced it a purer and better fuel
than that found in many Of the mines
But with all the recent and extensive
finds of coal the barons say that that fuel
will never again be as cheap as it was
before last years strike. And they con-
troll the market.

FROM many quarters come indications
that the progress of the South is not to
be halted by the recent declines in Wall
street. Two OF three years of good
prices for cotton have had marked
effect for prosperity in many Southern
lines. which is reflected in letters pub
lished this week in the Manufacturers
Record from the cotton belt. Moreover,
the actual work of material development
is going on uninterruptedly and bids fair
to rapidly expand with the turn of cap
ital from speculative operations to legi-
innate business undertakings. The south
is destined to come to her own again.
