MIR. Lucas Mill Fight.

Mr.. Milliken, of the New York Com
mission house, did not succeed in oust-
ing Mr.. Lucas as President of the Lau-
rens Cotton Mill yesterday, owing to an
INDUCTION preventing him from voting
500 shares of stock which he had, it is
alleged, obligated himself to sell to Mr..
Lucas, who stood ready to pay for
them, delivery being refused. Mr..
Lucas victory may be only temporary,
for even if he wins in this particular
legal phase of the case, it may be still
possible for Mr.. Milliken to buy enough
stock to control the mill. Neverthe-
less, the stand Mr.. Lucas has taken and
the advantage he has won on the first
round will have its good moral effect.
1t will doubtless encourage other mill
men to revolt against the domineering
attitude of the commission houses and
to refuse longer to submit to giving
them exorbitant percentage for the sale
of goods.
1t was this economic thraldom, this
absolute dependence upon the will Of
e'ioIiiel III uiSpoSiiiB VI Ine i)TOuuctS Oh
his own mill, that Mr. Lucas protested
Igorously and practically against. He
took his own goods, found his own
market, disposed Of them at certain
cost and saved his mill thousands of
| dollars.
This is why so much general interest
was taken in the outcome of the Lau-
rens mill election yesterday, not only
| by mill men and stockholders, but by
the people generally. 1t appears that
| some local men and some cotton mill
men in that section of the state were
on the Milliken side. We do not know
the reason for this, because it seems to
us that if the Lucas principle can be es-
tablished throughout the state that
the mills pay less commission for the
sale of their goods it will be of great adj
vantage to the stockholders and the peo-
pie generally. There may be some inside
workings in the business that we do
not know of or understand, but on the
face of it Mr.. Lucas has right on his
side, and we think popular sentiment is
entirely with him. - Columbia Record.

ask for reverence and awe. The Cuban
mote sfiable. more equal and complsissnt;
he evidently believes that other Americans
are EQUAL to himself. He even desires to
speak English, but without any notable
success, 40 far.
There Is race problem that may become
more end more difficu't snd troublesou Q
to solve. We know that the revolutlonists
were OF all co'ors--sii working together as
comrades and equals in common cause.
But tie war is over, and the colored half
brother has not receivi d bis portion Of
lucrative Office, and the right hard of
good fellowship 10 not now so freely offered
to him as it was when the darker hand
was useful to the cause.
As YOU know, the Cuban constitution
rightly has an educal ionai test regarding
suffrage, except ng for those W no served In
the revolution-the latter need no oteer
qualification. Hence the majority OF
voters at this time are colored. But In
time, as the dark veteran dies out, al bis
chtld does not keep pace with he eoucs-
tion of the whites, the majority would
swing to the lighter race. But thst
change being 10 the distance, the VIII te
man cannot wait, and In tire nature of
such things be must and viii ru e-inci
dentaily holding the plums OF office. The
colofed man grumbles, but he may not
reoel-Uo one knows.
Another problem for Cuba Is that OF
maintaining such sanitary and healthfu
Ma nj r. a
island. Cleanliness to any degree OF
safety Is entirely unnatural to the people
and that not ione to the 10 er and poor
class. Hence the requirements of the
American government In the case are
ge, orally unspprec ated and even irksome
But we know that to hold their republic
to any semblance of independence from
the United States requires two main con.
ditions: No revolutions, no Epidemic
long cherished privileges-hsrd In eel
to be denied. The people OF Madrid
shriek in rage at any attempt to suppress
the bull fight; the people OF Maine
would fly to arms against the denial OF
Cuban for warmly desiring that his Ill
and his fights shall not be interfered
with?
To know q mans calling and condition
here h to know his political sentiments.
II be has property, or desires to do bust
ness of almost any kind, he hopes for the
annexation of Cuba to the Americ IN
government. IL be IL dependent upon
his wits and leans towards { "a ,e-bodi.g,
or office seeking, his soul c,ies out for
the entire fires d m of Cuba and be hates
