Atlanta Constitution: Labor and Capital. When will the lorfg protracted struggle cease. Away back in history there was a war that lasted thirty yeirs, bpt this war litis lasted longer than that and seems to grow more bitter as the years roll on. In llie good old times it did not affect the South, but like a pestilence it spreads and there seems to be no remedy. All of the women—most all of the men, outside of the capitalists— hare heretofore sympathized with the toilers in their demands for le s work pnd better pay. They have bitterly denounced the heartless managers who would wear out the life of a child be- foie it gets grown—who would keep them .caged in factories from early morn till lamplight, with not an hour for recreation. No May day, no play- day. no ball game, uor marbles, nor fishing, nor frolic of any kind for the boys; no hunting wild flowers of black berries for l he girts, n& youthful pleat. : ures, no recess, no Saturday; but fiom year to year itJs “ Work—work—work, in the dull Decem ber light. •» And work—work—work, when the weather ie warm and bright.'* ' lf6w sad it is to see them toil as if in a Irejulmilh and to hear lliem sigh as they glance from th*- window-, of their daily prison, ami with longing eyes, whisper -“Uhl hut to iirealhe the breath of tbc woodewnd llowcre sseet, • With the »ky aUwe my Itcad *ud the gras* „ l«oea h my feet > w,. _ ' . r , W , ^ f.i" And this is sad, path* tic, and hut for heartless legislation and legislator^, would have long since l»eeii remedied. H is the good sbie rd human w that arouses sympathy ami Leigh Hunt never wrote err- a skilled man sent free to show them how to plant and grow dowers, a free library of well -selected books, hospitals for the- sick, good nurses, good beds, all free and no lost time charged against them; bath rooms with hot and cold water and time given to bathe; clean towels and soap. For the women and girls he had toilet rooms and bathrooms and brushes and combs and even curling tongs provid ed; sofas and cots to recline on and books to read. Everything was made as much like home as a loving mother would .have provided; Half-of every Saturday was theirs. Mr. Patterson was happy. He believed he had solved the problem of capital and tabor. Hut about three years ago a labor union was" formed and ils committee began to hum up’devilment. Not long ago -they discovered that ihe 2,000 towel* that weie furnished the bathrooms free were washed every week by some poor woman who did not belong to the ion, and tlrcy demanded of Mi. I’.ii tersou that he have his washing d in- by union folk*. He refused ami the committee ordered a strike.' Then he declareil that hi* men were not charged for the l/aths nor the towels nor the soap, and he would stop the whole husiues*, which he did. ordered the* discharge of I lendeut . b« cuu*e he was uul a union man.

The Indians selected those places foe-building their villages most favored by nature. They sought pure water to drink, good streams to tish in and good forests to hunt rn. The best hunting ground was always where vegetation^wks most luxuriant, for wild animals fed on nuts, fruits, cane and grass. It is curious to look back a hundred years and see how civilization has marched in the footprints of savagery. First came the Indians, single tile, silently marching one behind the other. Then came the trailers, with their pack horses, following the paths of the In dians and selling them rum and peltry for skins and furs. Then came the white settlers^ with their families. When the settlers came the paths or trails were widened to admit wheels. Then came the stage coach. Then the steam engine, plunging, plowing and hurst- iuu wide open the hidden treasures of stream and forest. It is a fact that the railroads are built, for the most pari, along Uie Hues of the old stage route*, so that in lookibg backward we aim that the Indian* sui veyed many of the lines now covered by sft-tl mils, tele, gtaph and telephone wires.

Mrs. Kate Wigfall Cheatham, of the Edgefield Chronicle, writes an interest, ing letter on her arrival at Buffalo, where she was in attendance upon the National Editorial Association, and H viewing the sights of the Pan-Ameri can Exposition: SATLEh’a Hotel, BrFFALO, N.'Y., June 10th, 8 o’clock in the morning. Dear Chronicle: W’e arrived in Buffalo two hours ago on a night train from New York. The railroads seem to understand the economy of time, for they bring the visitors through the darkness, and rush the specials into the great Exposition City just as the million little shops and meaUmarkets in the endless suburbs are letting down their stnjied awnings and sweeping off the front steps.* At the particular station where we stopped there waited thousands of hungry hotel ruuuera and hundreds of canopied wagons •When the first train wound around the curve below and the last car was slow in showing itself, the policeman said; *• She’s heavy this morning.” And she was indeed heavy! As the baggage car • raw led by, one tumid see that the tfag- gage iua*ler had barely enough room for his chair. The place was |mi-ked celling high with Saratoga*, hair- rUitli*. rarpet-sark* and boxes, cacti with a bra* ship made of bnck—meet ’em at our State building,” and so on. This goes on after you have strug gled into your berth. A nervous, noisy woman puts her head through the cur tain for a second time and asks the porter if he is certain about the time they get in. Then'in the morning. At Syracuse a man arises, and begins to inquire about distances. Other peo ple awakened by the light are buzzing behind the mufiled hangings, and say- brother leaps gladly out above me, and exclaims in his peculiar parlance: “Nobody but Clod will ever know what a horrible night I have had.” * So they tumble out one after the other and begin to raise windows. IN SIGHT OF THE FAIR.. The Buffalo passenger baring seen the Fair on a photograph pa*s until it seems like home, docs not j'nii in the fever of expectancy. He gels out of his berth < nly when the porter has reached n. at him for the third time. At Kenvon, ha f the passengers put their heads out of (he windows and U ok ahead.' One man sigbi* the Fer ris wheel after a time, and there t* n commotion on his side of the car 'The other evens up by lyghung the iidmtn- Ul ration dome. Then th-y begin b. pick out buildings. In this general excitement the. porter has some trou ble in hokliug bis man out in Uie aisle until lie can brush him and collect a quarter.

When the Methodists get strong enough to build a parsonage they should not slbp at the finishing of the house, but have a permanent com mittee of ladies to plant vines and roses and make gravel walks, and establish a garden with tuch things that do not pass a^ay and perish with the year.

If 1 was a bishop I would allude to this at the general conference, and lay much stress on what John Wesley said, that “ Cleanliness tyas next to Godliness.” That is not in the Bible, but might Have been and done no harm. Yes, the kindbearted people have generally been sympathizing with the strikers, but the ease at Dayton, O , has discouraged them. We see that Mr. Patterson-died suddenly this w eek, He was only sixty-nine years, oltl and the opinion is that his grief and morti ficalion over the great strike caused his death.

From time to PIEDMONT REGIONS NAME What Does it Mean ?-An Alleged Curious Fact in History Mr*. T. M Green, of WaaAiogton, (••I., gives tb* followingexplaualion of the tciiu Piedmont in a recent i*«uc of the Atlanta Journal .

It puzzled me a long time. I used to ask common mortals, like ni\self, about it, but they could not tell. Then asked those w ho' wfere authority on nomenclature; with the same result. Then I watched for some mention of it in all the Southern histories that 1 read, amt only once did I find anything Jdw.a.clew., Thai was in Logan’s'llia- the oht time* .tory.of-fciouriv Caroliusc, a book, by the -way, as rare and as valuable as Gov ernor GilmanT'Gebrgians.
