will be Shut down, throwing 1880
miners out of employment The confer

the part of both to arrive at some
amicable conclusion.
The split resulted from a refusal on
the part of the operators to raise the
wages of the unskilled and to lower
the price of blasting powder demand
ed by the men.
Nothing to Do But Fight.
President White, of the Iowa miners,
said Thursday. The miners have made
every attempt to arbitrate and were I'M

Mines Included.

The strike and lockout will include
mines in Appanoose, Mahaska, Keokuk
Wapello. Marion, Jasper, Polk, Boone
and Webster counties, Iowa, and those
in Putnam county, Mo. In Polk coun-
ty there are $500 miners, while
more than 100000 is invested in the
business in this county alone.
There are about million tons of
coal in storage, while the railroads have
considerable supply. The miners have
from $4,000 to $4,000 in their strike
fund, enough to last about six weeks.
- To Keep Mines Dry.
Des Moines, Ia, April "A truce for
Is days has been declared between the
coal operators and the striking miners,
and the latter are furnishing enough
men to keep the engines and pumps go
ing at each mine in the state, so that
they may be kept dry.
Illinois Miners Yield.
Springfield, ILL.,, April 1.-When mat
tiers looked darkest for settlement of
the difference between the coal oper-
ators and miners of Illinois, and strike
seemed imminent, the miners gave way
and acceded to the ultimatum of the OPP
orators. Thus all danger of strike has
been averted by reason of the conserva-
tive action by the miners organization.

DR.. Frost will see that the law helps his
work, unless he wishes to preserve a
nonstrosity in the shape of mixed
school,
1t is time for scholars like DR.. Lyman
Abbott to learn that the Southern people
will die before they will tolerate mixed
schools, public or private, and that those
who would help in directing public SEN
tlment must recognize this unalterable
purpose. There are good men in the North
and in the South who are working togeth-
er for better educational advantages and
a better educational spirit, but there can
be no concert of action or mutual CO.
operation except upon the basis of the
South's unalterable decree, of which the
Kentucky action is the true index.

that there cannot be less than score o.; OF
men in each of our ninety-seven counties .ps
whose public utterances have, at some
tine been declared by the local press to

~ such use of the word great as
one applies to the speeches of Gladstone tone
Parnell, Morley, chamberlain and bailour
Alexander Stephens, Ben Hill. Blame ana
Vance, the word is applicable to Mr..
Bryans latest speech. So far as this
writer's opinion goes-and he has heard
the most of those mentioned-Mr. Bryan $
.value of an IDEAL is the greatest
sneech he ever listened to. 1t is because
the statesmen and rulers of the old world
have read Bryan's speeches and editorials
that they unite with the best of our
own people in throwing themselves at the
feet of this intellectual and moral giant.
We incline to think that they would rate
the speech referred to as the best.

THE RECEIVERSHIP OUTRAGE.

New Bern Journal.
The appointment of Mr.. v. e. Nc
Pee as receiver OF the Atlantic and
North Carolina Railroad Company, does
not call for military interference, but
it does and has called forth stronger
force, in the public denunciatlon OF the
act. .....-
The Old North State has fallen uron
days of shame, when those OF her OVID
people strike against her, 1t was only
d few days ago that the press dispatches
tCld OF two lawyers, claimants OF rela-
ticDship with this State, who willingly
entered into barter which would I'LL their
own pockets, at the possible expense OF
fellow citizens. In the matter OF the
A. and n c. receivership, is found a
Judge, claiming North Carolina citizen
snip who according toy every report
makes haste to further the scEemlng ends
of an outsider, who seeks to push an in
dlyidual claim against the State Of North
Carolina
AS to the apparent basis for this re-
colyership arrangement your orator, X.
IS. Finch makes lengthy complaint, the
real issue being that Governor Aycock,
as minority stakeholder, refuses to grant
g lease of this railroad property to
please Mr.. Finch, who is conveniently a
citizen of North Carolina or New YORK,

not stockholder of record last Septem-
Der. however his actual stockholuing may
be today, proves to be the only STOCK

cause this railroad property is not
leased, hence his action in forcing upon

pense, which is without reasonable war

The fight against Federal judicial con-
troll has nothing to do with any lease
proposition. 1t is fight in opposition
to permitting one small stakeholder, with
out any hearing or investigation, to put
read in the hands of a receiver. There
are strong reasons why a proper lease,
made in the right way, would be the very
best thing to be done with the road.
These who favor leasing and those who
oppose leasing, however, stand together
against the unwarranted action of Judge
Purnell.
II every statement in Finch's statement
and every allegation now being sent out
from New Bern were true-(and most of
them will be shown not to be true, be-
ing based upon mere rumor and incom-
plete information)-the would furnish
no warrant for further burdening the
road with the heavy expenses always in
cident to a receivership, when the way
was open to learn the truth in way that
does not establish rule that may en-
darger the safety OF every corporation.

THEY RING CLEAR.

Elsewhere we print in full the editorials
on the appointment of a receiver for the
A. and n. c. r. r. from the Charlotte
News and the New Bern Journal The
News IS easily one of the ablest, as it is
the best paying, dailies in the State. 1t
is devoted to the State and stands for
what seems right and for justice. The Jour
nal is published at New Bern, the chief
city along the line of the road, and in
vigorous English voices the sentiment of
the thoughtful people of North Carolina
Most of the other papers that have
spoken also ring clear against this new
and unwarranted exercise of Federal
power. With few exceptions, the press
OF the State believes in the right of the
owners of property to control it, even if
some specializing railroad folks do be-
l:eve that it should be controlled against
the desire of it's owners, for it should be
rene mbered that over two-thrds of the
private stockholders stand with the State
in opposition to the summary action of
Judge Purnell.
