THE MANNING TIMES. WEDNESDAY, APRIL 28, 1886. B. S. DINKINS, -ditor. Capt. R. B, Tillman- has announced through the N"ews and Courier, that the Farmers' Convention will meet in the Agricultural Hall at Columbia, on Thursday next, the 29th. He gives as his reason for the announcement, "that there may be no misunderstand ing." The Presbytery of Augusta have exhonorated]D Woodrow from the charges in COL 4on with evolution, and in addition have elected him a delegate to the General Assembly which meets in Augusta in May. A grave subject now before the peo ple and Congress is how to deal with the labor strikes. By some means the perplexed problem must be solv ed or the strikes now confined to the North and North-west will extend through the whole land, and invading all occupations, sap the foundation of the Government. The importance of tho question deserves the highest con sideration of the wisest in the coun try. The demand of the millions, composing the laboring class, cannot with safety be disregarded. Whether the grievances they complain of be real or imaginary, there should be a tribunal clothed with power to invest igate and administer to the exigences of the case. While carefully guard ing the rights of the laborers, the per petrators of outrages like those recent ly committed in St. Louis and other places, should be severely punished. Organitions like the Knights of La bor, and we may add, large raih-oad corporations should not exist without a power competent to supervise and control their actions. Congress has taken the matter in hand and appointed a committee to examine representatives of each of the warring factions as to the cause of the trouble. Lengthy interviews have been held with Gould, the great iailroad Crcesus, and Powderly, the Mogul of the Knights. The President in a mes sage to Congress called attention to this momentous question, and recom mends a commission of Labor, com posed of three members, as the best means of adjusting the difficulties. In one part of the message he says: The present condition of relations be tween labor and capital are far from saisfatory. The discontent of the employed is due in a large degree to the grasping and heedless exactions of employers, and alleged discrimina tion in favor of capital as an object of governmental attention. It must al so be conceded that laboring men are not always careful to avoid causeless and unjustifiable disturbance. Though jAe importance of better accord be tween these interests is apparant, it must be borne in mind that any effort in that direction by the Federal Gov ernment must be greatly limited by -cnstitadional restrictions. There arej many grievances which legislation by Congress cannot redress, and many -conditions which cannot by such mans be reformed. I am satisfied, however, that some -thing may be done, under Federal authority, to prevent disturbances which so often arise from disputes be :tween employers and employed, and which at times seriously threaten the busines interests of the country; and in my opinion the proper theory up -on which to proceed is that of volun lary arbitration as a means of settling -these difficulties. But I suggest that 'instead of arbitrators chosen in the heat of conflicting claims, and after -each dispute shall arise, there be cre ated a commission of Labor, consist ing of three members, who shall be -regular officers of the Government, charged, among other duties, with the consideration and -settlement, when possible, of all- controversies between labor and capital. A commission thus organized would have-the ad-vantage of being a stable bedy, and its members, as, they gain ed experience, would constantly imn -prove in their ability to deal intelli gently and usefully with questions which might be submitted to them. If arbitrators are chosen for tempora , ry service, as each case of dispute arises, experience and familiarity with much that is involved in the qu'estion will be lacking. Extreme partisan ship and bias will be the qualifications sought on either side, and frequent eomnplaints of unfairness and partiali ty will be inevitable. The imposition upon the Federal Courts of duties, foreign to the judicial function, s.uch as the selection of an arbitrator in such cases, is at least of doubtful pro Thpret establishment by Federal -au-I thority of such a bureau would be a just and sensible recognition of the value of labor, and of its right to be represented in the departments of the Government. So far as its concilia tory offices had relation to disturban ces which interfered with transit and commerce between States,. its exist ence would be justified, un'der the provision of the Constitution which' gives to Congress power "to regulate eommerce with foreign nations and among the several States," and in the frequent disputes between laboring men and their employers of less ex tent and the consequenees of which are confined within State limits and tih-eaten domestic violence, the inter positn of such a commission might be tendered upon application of the Legislature or the Executive of the State under the constitutional provis ion which recjuires the General Gov er-nment to "protect" each of the' States against domestic violence. W.ASHINGITON C4RRESPONDENCE. WEsmNG'oN, April 23, 1886. Spring is in Washington now with I all its glory. The leaves are out on the trees, making the streets long vis tas of color, and the gam. is b-;h+ with that charming tint which only Spring can paint. The parks and squares are gay with the yellow blos sois of the Forsythia and the white of the magnolia, while the cloudy pink of the peach tree peers over gar den walls. It is hard to tell what im presses one most-the softness of the climate, the fine avenues; some over two miles long radiating from the Capitol like the sticks of a fan, the green circles and squares and trian gles that greet you unexpectedly in every direction, the magnificence of the public buildings, or the cosy ele egance of the private residences. It is not to be wondered at that un der the seduction of a Washington spring the President should "lightly turn to thoughts of love." If an oyster could fall in love atall, it would be on one of these bright spring days in Washington. Whether or not Mr. Cleveland is to marry in the -near fu ture, it is believed that he will, anl the would-be-knowing-ones accuse him of manifesting every matrimonial symptom. He goes out more frequent lv now than ever before, and those who meet him on his afterlLoon drives with his private Secretary, come to the imaginative conclusion that he is very happy and sentimental despite the cares of State. This is the time for drives and rides and walks about the city, and every body who can take time for it, is out of doors. Members of the Cabinet, Justices of the Supreme Court, Sena tors, Representatives, and Depart ment officials may be seen after four o'clock P. M. on horse-back, on foot, or in more or less elegant turnouts on the streets and country roads around the city, while the ladies who are busy with spring shopping, throng Pennsylvania avenue all day long. Congress has come to a point in the session where it is necessary to exer cise pluck of principle. Various ap propriation bills-for the aid of edu cation, falsely so styled in some in stances for new pensions, for river and harbor improvements, for public buildings, and, other enterprises for expending the people's money, are coming up for action. The Republi can minority, feeling responsibility neither for the House nor the Presi dent, do not care if the record of the session is conspicuous for extrava gance, and a grave responsibility is thus placed upon the Democrats in Congress. The River and Harbor bill is now before the House and members are working at it section by section and voting away money in or der to help each other carry doubtful districts in the coming fall elections. Each one of a dozen little unheard-of rivers and bays, in many states, wants an appropriation to dredge its chan nel two feet deeper perhaps, so that the one or two steamboats that plie its waters, may not run aground. Some of these demands upon the Treasury vaults would be luiderous if they were not so outrageously impu dent. Their only excuse is the neces sity of Congressmen to buy votes with Government money, and their only chance of passage is the average .members' willingness to log-roll. The Senate on Wednesday. passed between four and five hundred pri vate pension bills; the largest days work that either branch of Congress ever did. It also voted to erect a fire proof hall in this city for keeping records, and Senator Hoar wittily ask ed before voting for it if it were spec ially for the safe keeping for the Pres ident's "private papers." The Senate continues to debate in a rather Ian guid way during a part of each day, the subject of secret or no secret ses sions. The Attorney General as a witness has infused new interest into the Pan Electric investigation this week. He gave a statement of his connection with the affair, declaring thait he had never used official position to advance the interest of the scheme, that he had had nothing whatever, to do wi' the bringing of the Govt. suit that he still retained his stock which was not a gift, that instead of making, he had lost $400 by Pan Electricity, but that it was a perfectly slegitimate enter prise for all that. Much interest has also been taken in the Strike investigation now in progress here, owing to the fact that Grand Master Workman Powderly and Jay Gould among others, wcra presert as witnesses.' An exceeding ly interesting body of testimony was given all around, but Mr. Powderlv drew more attention than the rail road king. He made a full presentation of the case, and gave a full history of the Knights' organization. Too 3Iany School Books. Abbeuiie Medium: A man is blind if he cannot see many ways in which the expense of our governmaent can be reduced. There is no good reason our taxes should be so heavy. We have always believed in paying all of ficials well and do not . hold to any parsimonious views. At the same time we believe the government could be properly conducted at less expense. But outside of specific taxes the great est burden to our people is found in the multitude of school books which we are compelled to buy. The prices too are unreasonably high but still the razy idea prevails that we have to keep up with the times and must of necessity require great loads of! books even for children who have not advapced beyond the elementary branches We cannot see any reason in it. Who is to correct the evil, if not those who have our educational matters peculiarly in their charge?! Has any State Superintendent of Ed ueation ever recomebded a change for the better ? Has any' State Board ev-j er considered the matter? If so, who is standing in the way of this re trenchment ? The people are patient but they are almost exhausted by thisj continual drainage of their pocket books. They are not able to stand! the pressure much longer. Some re the coming man who is to cure the evil. PRCTICAL SUGGESTION1. Correywleue Xeirs and Coiurier: The Farmers' Convention, soon to assemble, will be composed, I trust and believe, of the discreet and patri otic citizens of the State who will have in view only the welfare and prosperity of the State, and not poli tical preferment or advancement. Such being the case I must hope that great good will be accomplished. There is certainly room for reform in the State and this convention ia as sist materially in bringing about this reform. As a taxpayer, I would call atten tion to our county affairs, which it would be well for the convention to consider. Can there not be a more economical administration of the ounty government and a consequent -eduction of taxation? Is a board of county commissioners, with almost unlimited power to tax, absolutely necessary? Why do we hold on to this systen, inaugurated by the Radi cal Government. We-did not need county commissioners before the war; why cannot we abolish the office now and substitute a less expensive sys tem? The real truth is that the poli ticians in our Legislature are afraid to move in this matter, but surely a body of farmers in convention assem bled will not be timid, as they do not ask for office at the hands of the peo ple. Again, cannot the oficers of county treasurer and county auditor be performed by a county treasurer alone with an assistant to receive re turns? The system of road working also calls for change, and in a convention of practical farmers I trust some val uable suggestions will be made. The present system is a farce, and results in bad roads everywhere, but espec ially in the low-country. How can it be otherwise? The law requires that the road hands shall be ordered out to work not less than six nor more than twelve days; but who is to carry out and enforce the order? It is un willing service on the part of all, and the overseer who is not pid and has no special interest in the work cannot be expected to incur the displeasure of every road hand by requiring him to perform his duty or else to report him and subject him.to the penalty of the law. As a consequence no work is done; the road hands when ordered go on to the road to avoid the fine, blaze a few pine trees, and the over seer or superintendent after a few days declares the work done, and the hands are discharged for a year. Now, as a practical planter myself, I contend that road working is a tax. When a man is ordered to work the road you tax his time, which is a loss to the laborer, and und'er present management no benefit to the public. If, then, there is to be taxation in or der to keep up public roads why not levy a tax in money only upon every laborer who is liable to road duty? From this money why not pay for the work on the roads and let it be done by contract, giving the contract to the lowest bidder? It might be *so ar ranged that a laborer who wished to avoid paying his tax in money could pay his tax in labor by hiring to the road contractor and receive his due bill for so much money receivable for taxes. - The main and important point is to place the road-working in the hands of responsible parties, and this can only de done by letting out the work by contract to the lowest bid der and to require a bond for the faithful performance of the contract. THE FARMiERS CONTENTION. Palmetto Post: If the delegates to the proposed Farmer's Convention are all farmers de facto, and the doors of that body are sternly closed in the faces of the soreheads, shitepokes, blatherskites, demagogues, cranks, disappointed political market gard ners, fag-ends of defunct political par ties and the unavailable stumps cast aside by past county conventions, we have no fear that such a convention would conceive, or, conceiving, adopt any measure that would tend in any nayv to embarrass the progress of our State in its course on the high plane of civilization it was placed by the people in I876, but rather encourage her in a more practicable carrying out of the plans then laid out for her progress and uplifting. War Among Editors. Our streets were thrown quite into a state of excitement on the morning of the 16th instant, by an encounter between the editor of the Star anid the senior editor of the Pre-s. The facts related by several eye-witnesses are as follows: On the morning of the 15th inst., one day after the issue of the Press, at about half-past 7 o'clock in the morning, as the senior editor of the last named paper was on his way to breakfast, and juist as he pass ed the corner of the street on which is situated the store of Messrs. Terry & Shaffer, his attention was arrested by someone hailing. Stopping to listen, he heard footsteps approaching from around the corner, and directly the editor of the S/ar made his ap pearance, each advanced toward the ther, and when they got within speaking distance the editor of t.he Star inquired, "Are you responsible for the article which appeared in the ast week's Pre- ?" To which ques ion the senior editor of the Press an swered, "I am." Whereupon the edi or of the ~Star struck him a blow on he shoulder with his tist, which was mmediately resented on the part of he editor of the Pr-es's by a blow in he face. The editor of the Star~ then struck his opponent on the shoulder ith his walking cane, which was re sented by a blow in the face, as be fore. Again did the editor of the Star raise his cans, but before the blow decended the Star'st editor rolled on the ground, from which position were now out of the question, and the battle continued in regular fistieuff style, and sparring came together, and the representative of the Pres was tripped. Both fell together, the Star's editor failing on top, which vao tage ground he immediately made use of, striking two or three blows on the face of his opponent with a lanrge seal ring. At this juncture the friends of the S'rar raised its editor up and prevented the parties from agaiu engaging in the ilsticui.- CoclMWo Pr1- es. ). G.
