THE STATE AND TIE RAILROADS.

THE STATE AND THE RAILROADS.
The railroads of Virginia and the
authorities of State have settled their
differences without resort to violence
and without any extraordinary proceed
ings.
The Times Dispatch has urged from
the first that there was no occasion for
Mysteries, for flamboyant proclama-
tons, for sensational arrests and jail
ings, for defying the courts or for any
unusual proceedings whatever. The
railroads of Virginia arc Differed in
large part by citizens of this State who
are honorable and law-abiding. They
We're we'll within their lawful rights
when they appealed to the Federal
court for protection against proposed
measure which they believed to bc
marsh and unreasonable, menace to
the interests of the roads and against
the public welfare. They had nc
thought of ignoring the princip)e .,
States rights nor Of defying the state
authorities Nor had they any idea
that in asking for Federal Injunction
they would be denounced as outlaws. /.
But when they discovered that their
course had aroused the resentment
Of the people the several attorneys met
and conferred and determined, If pos
sible, TO make a pcaceable and honor
able agreement With the State. There
was no meeting or the attorneys, we
believe, until Friday, and little time
was lost in reaching the conclusion
above indicated.
The imes-Dispatcl and all good
citzens are gratifled that the differ
onces have been adjusted in manner

ions involved are finally determined by

The coops are crowded, piled up one

The men tie up five to eight chickens

the streets. offering them for sale.
The chickens are cruelty treated; they
are starved. being kept all day with
out food or water, and those that are
left from one days sale are kept In
these wretchedly dirty baskets TIL the
next days selling. The chickens must
be diseased, for you cen see them
dead and dying and with every mark OF
bad treatment, neglect and Indifference
to their wants. Women buy them
feed them to infants and others. The
consequence Is that there is much sick

our Interests in New York, but we
should use our best cndeavors In the
meanwhile to have Norfolk or New
port News made a port OF entry The
Times-Dispatch has the assurance Of
distinguished men In the State that
they would heartily CO. Operate in such
n movement, and If the Congressman
Of Virginia and other southern States
can be interested the movement Will
succeed. or course, Virginia does not
intend to open her doors to the riff
raft OF Europe but she is in urgent
need OF laborcrs, especially laborers
for the farm, and the demand for both
men and women who are able and
willing to work is growing every day.
The negroes upon whom we have de-
pended nrc moving away, ind many
of those who remain cannot be de-
pended upon to do efficient service.
Most of them have left the farms, and
cannot be had at any price. AS a
consequence, the farmers have been
forced to reduce their acreage, and In
many sections valuable lnnds are going
to waste. -
The Times Dispatch was lately in
formed by a Virginia farmer that he
and his father have a fine farm and
abundant means to carry on their
operations. but that they have found it
impossible to secure labor and are
compelled to do their own work. The
father Is now an old man, and the son
Is in poor health, but in spite of their
infirmities they have been blowing
and hoeing as best they can, because
there is no help" to be hired. Neces-
sarily. their operations are limited, and
greatly handicapped, and they are on
the alert to secure the services Of some
of the foreigners whom Commissioner
Koiner is now bringing over. The fact
that there are ten calls for every de-
srable foreigner who arrives is sufii-
cient proof that there is an enormous
demand in Virginia for immigration.
The tide has now set in this direc-
ton, and we should by all means have
port Of entry on our own coast.

The August number of the Book
News Monthly contains four articles on
the career of Edgar Allan Poe, one OF
which \ Is by Mrs. Alice NJ. Tyler, OF
Richmond. Mrs. Tylers article relates
to Poe's life atj1the University OF Vlr-
GINA, and she brings out clearly the
fact that, In spite OF much mlsrepre-
sentation, the records Of the university,
which are perfectly preserved, attest
that at no time did Poe fall under The
censure OF the faculty, his connection
with the university being severed by
the Termination Of the session.

Poetry,

Editor OF The Times -Dispatch
Sir,--Poetry Is worthy of more notice
and consideration than 1t receives. My
opinion is that there should be moro
reading and better understanding of
poetry by the everyday man In his
everyday life Why not talk OF the
weather less and talk of poetry more?
Apropos OF the remarks made above, I
desire to present the following;
Poetry Is heavenly drink sent to
earth. The proper sphere of poem Is
TO pc refreshing drink to the soul. Any
thing that Is really refreshing is
should not be artificial nectar. but 1t
should be the wine of God. the Creator.
In poetry there should hc discords.
There should not be a sameness Henry
Van Dyke has said:
If all tho world were music
Our hearts would often long
For one sweet strain of silence
To break the endless song"
| shall try to prove the need OF dis
cords in poetry by tho first law OF mo-
ton: "A body set In motion Will move
forever In straight line, unless acted
ment has ever directly proved that law.
1t appears to be Gods viii that this
universe shall be one of curves. Gods
Will is tho natural Will. the natural
Is always the best. The nearest ap-
proach in poetry TO curves IL obtained
by using discords.
poem in itself Is not perfect be-
cause action Is equal to reaction, and
In the contrary direction" A poem BY
Its charms places itself upon the mind.
which makes application of 1t to the
minds structure: If It lit, 1t Is per-
feet poem to the possessor of that

perfect man other than Christ
