Potter, the National Guardsman. who was
expelled In November last from Paintcrs'
Union No. 90 because Of his membership
In the militia In announced as victory
for Potter and backdown for the Painters
Union. as under the terms OF the agreement
Potter Ii TO be restored to full membership
In the union and permitted to remain In the
National Guard.
One OF the terms Of the agreement ar
rived at was that 1t would be null and void
II the terms were made public. The only
official statement given out was one made
by President Dennis Downey OF Painters
Union No. 81, which Ia as follows:
Committees representing the Builders
Exchange, the Master Painters Association,
the Painters Union, together with George
+. Hodrick OF Albany, first general To'-
president Of the Brotherhood Of Painters,
Decorators and Paper Hangers Of America.
also Q representative OF the Trades Assem-
bly,, held q conference Saturday afternoon
which lasted several hours. at which tho
trouble which has existed for several months
past was settled satisfactorily to all con-
oerned The meeting adjourned with a
most friendly feeling existing between all
the parties
A special nesting Of the Trades Assembly
has been called for Tuesday evening, at
which 1t IL expected that the action agreed
upon by the conference will be ratified.
There was great joy In the city to-day
over the settlement of the trouble.
J. s. Landon, who, with the law firm Of
Yates 4 Grupe, has been conducting the
suit Of william Potter against Painters

prosecution intended to do In the matter.

that, In the event Of Potter's reinstste-
ment. the prosecution will discontinue tho
suit and come to a friendly settlement.

4 New Figure In Trades Unienisn.
Out of the Brotherhood Of Painters.
Necorafors and PanAr Hanoans Of Amar-

Out of the Brotherhood Of Painters,
Decorators and Paper Hangers Of Amer
lea, q branch Of trade unionism dedicated
by its constitution TO hostility to the
State, there has arisen a figure that
should mark a turning point in the
ways Of organized labor.
The xth question which applicants
for membership among the painters
must answer is: Do you belong TO any
military organization (militia)?' Men,
bership. however, had not obliterated the
patriotism or the self-reepect Of WILLIAM
POTTER Of Schenectady. He Joined the
National Guard, and after bitter effort
in his union to punish him by expulsion.
the combined forces of soberness and
shame moved the union TO abandon the
fight and to accept POTTER as a member
in good standing,
Shall organized labor be represented
by the law abiding and dag-loving PoT-
TER, or by the lswless spirit that inspires
the constitutions Of the Painters and Of
the United Nine Workers, Of which JOHN
MITCHELL ID PRESIDENT The flag Of
anarchy just hauled dswn in Schenectady
should be hauled down everywhere.

The Hairs Breadth.

President RoosEvELT's asseveration OF
answering consistency to principle IN
Tie matter of the choice Of white or COL
oeod men for appointment to Office is not
FOR the first time recorded In his letter to
Mr.. CLARK HOWELL. ..
The exact nature Of the principle itself
Is the only thing left cloudy.
Mr.. ROOSEVELT is now concerned
bit not in the least angry at the attitude
Of the white citizens OF the South. He
wants to consider the feelings OF the
people OF each territory so far as he
can without sacrificing principle -
but from principle he will not swerve
one hairs breadth"
The principle here declared is fitness
for office-the best man for the place; Tor
Mr.. ROOSEVELT proceeds to say with
emphasis TO the white people of the
Southern States:
- certainly cannot trest mere color ss bsr 70
hDldine once any more than could so treat creed
and birth place providing that the applicant
b a worthy and well behaved American citizen
.Jss as lntis EU ] treat a, oonfsrnno noa 10
Aoid ONCE"
But for one circumstance this would
exhibit the principle in sharp outlines.
The principle would be this:
No politics in the appointment OF ne
groes; no direct or indirect catering to
the colored vote in certain rather close
Northern States; if negro gets appointed
in the South or in the North, it is not be-
cause of his color but because he il in
Mr.. RoOsEvELT's opinion better qualified
than any other candidate, white or black,
in character. capacity and special fitness
for the post.
This would be entirely ineligible but
for the one circumstance to which we have
referred. Three months ago, before the
outcry in the South had awakened the
Presidents concern but not anger, he
declared another principle as that to
which he should consistently adhere.
In letter published by Mr.. ROOSEVELT
on Nov. 81, 1902, he said with almost A.
much earnestness rs now:
IT Is and should be my consistent policy in every
state, where the numbers warranted Il. 10 recognise
cssorsd MN Of GOOD rspws snS standing IN making
II y good thing from every standpoint 10 let the
essorsd man knop that n he shown In marked degree
ne qualities OF good ctisenship--she qualities
WITH ina white man We feel are entitled 70 rcvanf-
Nd se ril not b ocs on from all hops OF similar
rswxrd.'
Here the principle declared 10 mani
festly quite different. 1t Is recognition
OF the colored man a. such; the bestowal
Of Federal Office upon him as a special
reward for superior efforts; the use Of the
appointing power to encourage the negro
TO further efforts and thus 10 promote the
general elevation OF the race.
That Ia why the two declarations OF
answering consistency leave the princi-
pie itself somewhat enwrapped in mist
Which is the principle Of the threatened
roappointment Of DR.. CRUM in Charles
ton. an appointment that the Senate has
failed to confirm as fit? What il the prin-
ciple from which Mr.. ROOSEVELT, with
concern but not the least In anger, de-
clsres that nothing can make him swerve
one hairs breadth?

Delaware and Her senators.

The election Of ALICE, AppIcKs's
right-hand man, makes IL impossible to
congratulate Delaware greatly on the
filing Of her two seats in the Federal
Senate, but the fact that those two
seats are TO DO occupied by two Re-
publicans for the first time is mono the
less to be noticed.
Delaware has been turned Republican
by the prolonged attack on business
progress and prosperity which has dis
tinguished the Democratic movement
for tho last decade. II the Republ lean
party 10 made to adopt what has been
the Democratic policy it will end up in
the ditch itself, with the Democracy on
top.

COED. MARRIAGE STATISTICS.
Only - Per Cent. q women Graduates

ANN ARBoR. Mich. March 2.-Giving
them ten Year, time after graduation. less
than 80 per cent Of the women OF the Uni
versity Of Michigan attain the marriage
state. II they do not marry in ten years
they generally never do.
Such is the revelation shown by data
just brought together by the general cata-
logue and the alumni association and the
university. Taking all the COED graduates,
including those within the past ten years,
tbs figures are smaller. During the entire
time that co-education has been In vogue
at the State University total number OF
i,sSs women have graduated. OF these
only SIS have married since graduating.
This IL less than 50 per cent. Sixty-eix
others OF tbs total were married prior TO
graduating, raising the percentage OF mar
red women alunne to about ~ per cent.

The annual Republican love feast"
which will be held in this city next week,
promises to be one of the best attended
The phrase is borrowed from our Methodist
friends but the occasion is unique and of
Indiana origin. The Republicans of other
States have their conventions, conferences.
caucuses. banquets, ETC., but this is the
only State where they come together once
year for the sole purpose of giving the
glad hand. swapping stories. comparing
notes and taking counsel together for the
good of the order. Amy Republican who
has Ratchet in stock is expected to bury
1T before coming to the love feast, and If
he has any cards up his sleeve to be played
against a brother Republican they must
be left at home. He may only bring cards
that are to be played against the COM
mon enemy. Candidates may bring their
aspirations with them. but they are not
to be extensively exploited, as there may
be others.
A distinguishing feature of the original
love feast as observed by some denomina-
lions In primitive times was a severely
simple meal, sometimes consisting merely
of bread and water. This feature has been
discarded in the Republican love feast, and
the brethren are not forbidden to partake
of some of the deIicacies of the season.
Another feature of the original love feast,
| however. still survives. viz, the telling of
experiences. Almost every Republican
leader in Indiana has had an experience of
some kind or is personally acquainted with
some person who has had. The relation of
these treasured "reminiscences in the form
of -to-heart talks tends to bring the
| brethren closer together and develop
| fraterDal feeling.
| 1t will be fitting commentary on the
efforts of those who have been trying to
| prove that the party is rent by fractional
disturbances that, just as they were get
ting ready to announce a wake, Repub-
licans come up from all parts of the State
| to hold love feast, every one of them
full of the spirit of vim, vigor and victory.

mills. which will operate Il. 1897 looms. show

Letters published in the October issue of The
Southern Farm Magazine show that total of
$1,000 Northern farmers have settled during
the last ten years between New Orleans and
Corpus Christi. This Northern industrial army
has brought under scientific cultivation 1900 900
acres of Southern farm land, large portion Of
which was for years fallow. Fully 500 600 acres
of this tract is devoted to rice culture, for
which q large area Of the South has recently
been discovered to be particularly adapted One
letter states that ZOO home-seekers visited the
rice-growing districts of Louisiana In one week.
