sLoopsHEp SHOULD CEASE.

Arbitration of every strike is advisable, but it
seems doubly SO in the present violent outbreak
in Kentucky.
Kentucky is faced NOT only by differences be-
tween employees and employers. but a strike
wherein the racial problem is predominant.
Eleven lives have already been lost as result
of the strike, which is as yet of brief duration.
Nine negro fremen and two white deputy sheriffs
have been slain. Nothing is to be accomplished
by this wanton shedding of blood, and measures
looking toward the speedy abatement of lawiess-
ness and crime should be adopted forthwith.
Ordinarily strike is easy OF settlement, but
this is not true in the present instance. White
men rebel against the promotion Of blacks to po-
sitions above them. White fremen wish to be
given preference because of their color regard
less of the fidelity, industry and reliability of
the negro employees who have shown their
worthiness for advancement. The problem Is
delicate and complex, and is probably unique on
railroad. Arbitration is urgent. however, and
1t is incumbent upon those to whom has been
intrusted enforcement of the laws to bring to a
quick and certain conclusion the reign of terror
which affects the public above all others in
volved.

II BEG TO DIFFER 8,

strong plea for tolerance, charity broad
mindedness. and Christian spirit in the wag
ing of political battles has been made by DR.. j.
Y. Fair, and the slogan he has sounded might
well be adopted by all parties and all factions
Defamation of character, villifcation and de-
nunciation accomplish nothing in political cam
paigns. unless to work the undoing of men and
tion and misinterpretation of mems motives
weaken rather than strengthen the cause of those
who deem such methods necessary.
So long as men live, just so long will men diff
fer. No two minds thfrk exactly alike on all
subjects. Strong. healthy. Unexplained opposi
better methods. and better ends Competition is
the life of trade.
Beelouding the issue in political campaign
with personalities, Misrepresentation, and i'm
putting impure and aiteriar motives to. those W ho
have aligned themselves with particular cause,
contrary, degrades those who make use of such
means TO attain their end
Dr. Fair sums the matter up in few words as
follows
~e"The fact that differs from you is
no proof that he is corrupt or a traitor to his
country; neither is it any proof that you are
right and he is sCrong. What ace need in the
political soorld is DGpid'sH spirit Of iustice.
charity and fraternity.
"There is this unbeatable comfort: the
rock Of divisions cannot penetrate INTO hear
en-: il CRISIS oily in the seilderness of this
world; il is hidden foreper from piee in
the depths of that Jdthomless. shoreless
ocean Of loCe. There CaIpin and Wesley

and McCIeHan rest together under the shade
Of the trees. The Blue and the Gray, s.oect-
Iy blending. merge into The robes Of tchite,

palms Of efctoyy"
This minister's sermon Is of particular inter
est in Virginia because the State is on the eve of
one or more political campaigns in which there
are indications that bitterness. acrimony, and
harsh discord seem to lurk. A percolation OF the
sentiments of Or. Fair into the minds and hearts
OF those who are now girding their loins for bat
tie would make for campaigns which would be
credits TO them and the State rather than az
fairs to be lamented.

rhe saddest dream that ever fell
And faded like the evening glow
The saddest tale that lips can tell
IL OF the love of long ago.
Blue eyes SO penSive and SO bright
Fair golden head 80 proudly held;
But though tits vanished, many a night
The mind upon that dream will dwell.
The melancholy wind will call
A sthousand pensive dreams of yore,
hut one is rising DER them all,
And haunts the mind forever more.
Sweet love of long ago, though vain,
One idol in the noisy strife
That makes us dream and dream again
While fleets away the mortal life
We love again. but not the same
The old heart wound still fingers there,
We feel its dull and throbbing pain
Beneath the careless mein we wear.
Even when age steals beauty's charms
And time wears youthful zest away,
The heart for that old love still longs
Until the close of life's sad day.

Swanson was quick TO sieze upon an opportunity
to bring Virginia and its magnificent harbor into
prominence by the assembling of the navies OF
the world in Hampton Roads. His amendment
to the joint resolution was defeated once but re-
alizing the benefits it meant to his State. he con.
tnued his activity in its behalf, and succeeded
in having it adopted in the Naval bill.
The amendment follows:
BY joint resolution Of Congress the
President OF The United Stotes hos been dR-
HVfh%tu dHu FFSpGCfIHftB requested, on a
proclamation or in such manner as he may
deem proper to inrite oil foreign countries
and nations TO attend and participate In an

and also the four hpndredth anniversary Of

THE President is further authorised and
respectfully requested, in offending his invi-

The result Of this will be a worldwide invita-,

We can have but small sympathy with that
Robson county patriot who tackled the Gypsies
for a horse trade. II a sunday ana
the Robson citizen hesitated ab0nt the pro-
priety OF cheating the Gypsies on 1Rat day but
finally concluding that 'the better The day. the
better the deed" reluctantly made up his mind
to skin them. So far can make out
the story the Gypsies got horse and mule
from him and he made his way to Lumberton
fast a decrept animal could pull him
and there got out claim and delivery papers
These papers cost him 1880, on top OF the loss
of his horse and mule and didn't do him any
good, after all, for his two good animals were
put to their best speed in transferring the
Gypses to other and unknown parts. We have
hut little respect for the Intelligence OF any
ordinary white man who will undertake horse
trade with the Gypsies especially on sun
day--for 1t Is that day that the Gypses are
at their keenest. II the Robson county man
will read upon Gypsy horse trading. he will come
to the conclusion that he got off light. and
looking his horse up and down and all around.
She may console himself with the reflection that
1t might have been little bit worse. II the
Gypses should have happened to have had any
thing worse In stock.-Exchange.
