SYMPATHY FOR Till? TOILER Bill Arp on the Conflict Between the Laborer and the Capitalist. Atlanta t'ontdllutiotl : Labor and Capital. Wlion will the long protracted struggle ccaae. Awa\ hack in history tin re was n war that lusted thirty years, but llii-^ war hau lasted longer than that and seems to grow more bitter as the years roll <?n. In the good old times it did not affect the South, but like (i pestilence it Bp* cad& and there seems to he 110 remedy. Ail of the women most all ol the men, outside of the capitalists have, heretofore bympnlhi/.ed with tin toilers in ?heir demands lor 1c s work and hellei pay. They have bitterly dm unced the heartless managers who would wear out the life ol a child be CoiO il gets groWII Who Would keep them caged in factories In in early motu till lamplight, with not un hour lor (recreation.

Wiili the sky tdi ?ve my head and the -rnss bouca Ii my feel " And tlosi> sad, pathetic, and hut t??r hr tit less legislation and legislators, would hav<- long shut been remedied. It i- tlie good sido of human nature thai arouses sympathy ror the poor, ami Leigh Hunt nevei wrote a sweeter line than that of Aboil H u Adhcm's plea i->r en tin nee into Paradise: " Write me as one who loves his fellow in.in.'' in ruminatiug about the wants of the poor I have often thought that the gr< alesl WuUt and tin- best 1)0011 lo a toller was a home. Home - -one of the sweetest winds in aiij language. It> best dellnilion is In the heart, for language fails to express it. Indeed there are some languages thai have no word font uosyiiouym. The brunch has none and substitutes only an abode or dwelling place. The hist definition is found in the old Sanskrit, tbo sacred dialed of the Hindoos and Persians. The word is Ksheina aud means a per manent place of rest and security. Would that all the poor, all the toilers, all the women and children in the land had that a permanent abode a place of rest and security. No landlord to call lor rents no expiring lease, no uncertain title; hut a home where the good wile can plant her own vims and adorn her own yard w ith llowcrs and feel that they are hers and her chil dren's. Why didn't Mr. Carnegie think of this and give homes to the poor, in stead of hooks. Filly millions of dol lars would have given comfortable homes lo one hundred thousand poor families and given a permanent place Of rest and security lo at least half a million ol the toilers. The time was when a .Methodist preacher was not entitled ton home no more than a Itoruan Catholic priest was to a wife. Ho must abide for a year in any house that was cheap and vacant. lie must he the exemplar of humility and un selfishness, for they said that the Savior was horn in a manger and his softest bed was hay. Hut then: is some more scripture that demands the best >f everything for the priesthood, and that says : u Touch not My anointed, and do My prophets uo harm " A better civilization now provi les a good Comfortable parsonage in almost every tow n ami village and I am glad of it, not so ,/ntlcll for sympathy for the preacher, hut for his good, long suffer ing anil palienl wife, ami growing children. Woman loves her home and loves lo adorn it with fruits ami flow ers. Win ii the Methodists gel strong enough to ouild a parsonage they should not slop at the finishing of the house, hut have a permanent com miltee Ol ladies to plant vines- and roses and make gravel Walks, und establish a garden with Mich things that do not pass a?vay and perish with the year. Plant fruit trees, make, an asparagus bed and don't forget the stiaw berries and raspberri h, and here and there plant souk; of the old time garden herbs, such as Pave and balm ami parsley ami calamus for sweet, breath and mint for the chil jJrcn'u colic. Fix the place up for a homo and when the good wife leaves it, of court-o. she will leave it clean and leavo it with regret, and her successor will be happy and talk about her to the neighbors. If I was a bishop I would allude lo this at the general conference, and lay much stress on what .John Wesley said, that 41 Cleanliness was next to Godliness." That is not m the Hilde, hut might have been ami done no harm. I ch, the kintthcaitel people have generally In en sympathizing with ihe strikers, but the cane at Day ton, () , has discouraged them. We see that Mr. Patterson died suddenly this week. He was only sixty-nine, years eld and the opinion is Unit his grief and morti fication over the great strike Causod his death. A nobler rich man never lived or died. Ho was the president of the National Cash llogislor Company, that employed 2,800 iivjii and women. I'or seven years ltd .on Bought to make his | extensive worka n model for all the manufacturers of the world and a workman's paradise. From timo lo time lie bus reduced the hours of work and Increased the compensation. The cottages for his people wore models for comfort good gardens, nice dow ers?a Bkdlod man sent free to show them how to plant and grow (lowers, a free library of well selected hooks, hospitals for the sick, good nurses, good beds, nil live and no lost time' charged against them; hath rooms with hot and cold wntci and timo given to bathe; cleat) towels and soap. For the. women and girls he had toilet rooms and bathrooms and brushes and combs ami oven curling tongs provid ed; sofas and cots to recliuo on and books to read. fivory thing was made as rituell like home as a loving motion would have provided. Hall of every Saturday was theirs. Mr. Patterson was happy. Ho believed he had solved the problem Of capital and labor. Bui about three year8 ago a labor union was formed ?ud its committee began lo hunt up devilment. Not 1<-nv; ago they discovered that the 2,000 towels that weie furnished the bathrooms ?roe were washed every week by some I oor woman who did not belong to the union, ami they demanded of Mr. Pat It erson that he. have his washing d tie by union folks. He refused and the Committee ordered a strike. Then be declared that his nu n wen- not charged for the baths nor the towels nor the soap, and be would stop the whole business, which he did. Next they ordered the discharge of his superin tendent because ho was not a union man. This was refused and they st ruck again. They also erdend that two ti'.ion men who had been discharged lor bad work should bo restored. He restored them ami paid them regularly ?lo a week for each, hut gave them m> work, saying that they were not com potent, but he would pay them. And so they hunted around for other things and Ii (tally ordered a big strike, and il has been ou for we ks and no settle ment. Up to date the loss to work men in wages amounts lo $120,000 and all Ibcse poor families are in distress Mid would go back if the union com mitten would let them. It wasat Day< ton wheni a row months ago Iho union crowd pursued Pome non-union men and knocked them down and hammer on their lingers to a jelly with stones, -o (hat they could not work any more. Mr. Patterson's works have been visited by progressive men from all countries, who wanted to boo how lie managed that great business without any clash between his capita) ami their labor, and now they say, kk I told you so. I kne?v it would not last I" Ii made nie right sick to read about ii. tor i> is much worse than 1 have told n. 1" our sympathy bo the poor all wasted? X". -no ! It is those eon lemptiblo leaders who got on the com mi ice ami wanted to make a big Ins* outjof iio bing.

Him. Arp. Senator Chandler's Joke.?A Washington dispatch says that Senator Chaudler cannot got over his propen sity lo joke. Some time ago be offer? od a reward of ."jl >0 for Hie discovery Of the author of the words in the He publican platf< (in of 1800 after the de claration in f ivor of international bi metallism, "which WO pledge ourselves to promote." Several persons sought to eBtabbsh their right to claim the honor and the prize, 'ml Senator Ironi ker, who knew something about the financial resolutions that year, pro duced iho original draft of iho resolu tion, with the records refotred to in the hand write of Senator Lodge. Senator Chandler, win it the proof was forthcoming, sent his check lo cover the reward, and wrote as follows: "All wise men know that McKinley ami Hobarl would not have been elect ed if the platform had not, while de claring opposition to the free coinage of silver, except m the result of an In ternational agreement if it could be secured, if McKinley and Hobarl had not been elected in IS?li, Mr. McKin ley would not have been re-elected in 1000. Thoteforo those six words were of a priceless value, and 1 trusi that when ill the facts are known my hum ble offering of sloo will bo supple montod by such generous donations, not only from many members of the Republican party, but as well from Democrats who have so much trem bled at Cv. ry prospect of the election of Mr. Bryan, as to adequately recog nize the sagacity which led you merely not to conceive, but to actually insert into the platform of 1896 concerning bi metallism the words,'which we pledge, ourselves to promote.' That immortal declaration twice made Mr. Kinley president, and the fidelity with which the pledge has been fulfilled the woild knows." PlIK UUOWINO Trust.?The growth of business consolidation during the present vear eclipses all previous re cords. Trusts have, been organized 80 swiftly that only those commanding ovor $50,000,000 are deemed worthy of attention. The big steel strust, with its capital of $1,100,000,000, stands at the head of all business transactions of the world, and even lhat collossal aggregation may I ? eclipsed if Hi. rumor of a cotton combine should ma Itenalize. The grand total of trusts organized dming the lirst live months of the year runs up to $2,000,000,000. The New York Sun gives as the re cord of th'j past wee', the shovel trust, with $10,000,000 capital; the cotton duck trust, with an authorized capital of $60,000,000; a $20,000,000 trust to utilize the wuters of the l'lntte tor power: a 84)0,000,000 company to as sume charge of the Btreot car system of Pennsylvania; the complete knock ing out of the opposition to the Stand ard Oil trust In Ohio, and the organi zation into one body of all the paper* makers of the Dominion of Canada.

At the particular station w here we stoppeil there waited thousands ol hungry hotel i miners and hundreds of canopied wagons When the fn-i train wound around the curve below and the last car was plow ill showing itself, tlie policeman said: " She's heavy this morning." And she was indeed .heavyI As the baggage car craw led by, oticcouid see that ihe bag gage master had handy enough ro ill) lor his chair. The place was packed ceiling high with Saratogas, hair cloth-;, carpet-sacks and boxes, each with a bra.-s check hanging from its free end. Before the car slopped a slender young man with sleepy oyos, a grip swung over hisshou der by a strap and his best clothes protected by n linen duster crimped down the hack, made a wild jump to the platform, He saw tlu- policeman.

How llko a naughty boy I The kintl oilloer told him that thu galos didn't opou tor 'J hours an a halt', and thai ho had boltor go some where and got a good breakfast, and gel rid of hisciudcis, before lie started to do anything as wearing as tin- Mid way. They WOro simply gushing out id every door. It isn't very pleasant thing to sleep all night in a day coach where one man always snores and other men do contortion nets over the seals. Some one drops egg shells oil the floor. The family party finds con stant use for the water cup, end a sleepless man puts his head out of the window at every stop and yells: " Where, are we now?" Besides, some of these people, had come a thous and miles and had put in two night-, considering which fact they wore rather fresh and confident. Tho girls were a trifle stringy and mussed up, it is true, and some, of the men blinked in the hot morning sunlight, hut what difference did it make? AT THE MKCCA OK Til Kilt JOURNEY. Hadn't they arrived? There wore the big while buildings glistening in Iho sunlight. As the pilgrim to Mecca forgets his Btone bruises and rhcutna lism, ami begins turning HipHops when be sights the fust dome, so did these travelers rush their baggage madly to ward an exit and tell each other to 11 como on." Some were old men wearing dusty slouch hats pulled over their eyes and em b with a nervous following of wo men and wraps. There were many fat old frowsy women waddling about like lost ducks. There, were, country boys who had saved up tor this trip, and had begun by purcllltslliDg cigars and guide books from the. train " butcher." Most of the people knew whore they wished to go, ami bad asked the. way of the policeman who told them to go so many blocks in this direction and then 11 turn to your right and keep on." Out from the sleeping t ars came a procession all brushed < ft and happy A mountain of trunks began to build up on the platform ami the drivers on the wagons were shout ing themselves hoarse. DISAPPEARED IN THE HOTEL. In live minutes iho one thousand weary men, women and children had scattered into Pan-American byways, quietly absorbed by the long hotels. This was one train. See them come in on this road and that road, one after the other; watch the moving parade ol satchels and umbrellas, and you will begin to understand why the atten dance is jumping. (Jo into one of the reviving hotels and watch the names go on the register -Savannah, Boston, Rulle City, Montreal, City of Mexico, delict, Vee.bersburg, lied Dog, Seattle, ('ape Nome, Then you need not ask, as some do; "Where do all these folks come from?" As the Chronicle, announced some years back when the oil mill was first built, " The Room is On." But if you would fully appreciate how the people are coming, and why they aro coming, just ride up from New York on a night train. Evorv berth in tili! Blooper is taken. A tipsy man from Georgia has a guide-book and asks questions of a man who is going for the second time. This man fiom Georgia has read up Dn the Fair, and knows moro about it than some bright people who live right here in Buffalo. SOltAPS OF CONVERSATIONS.

Ii was Irulj typical ol the two leading thoughts of the occasion war, pence General Capers, a noble specimen ol the South Carolina soldier <d iStJJJ, still full of Iho tiro of patriotism, had reached the lasi clause ol his address; up to this moment he was the repro BCiitnliv? of war ami carnage, ol in ui's inhumanity i ? ni in."

She was as bright as one of the L'ay llowois which bedecked the battle Held. Ilci childish timidity made hei shrink hack till she. was hidden by two of her compeers; and as she could not be sein, Colonel Holmes A. A.

D. u. Chattanooga, May 27, 1001. RESTORING CAPTURSSD FI/AG Dramatic incident at the Southern Industrial Convention. An impressive I ratine of (lie South cm industrial Convention, held hist week in Philadelphia, wn- the restora tion of a captured llag by a Federal oillcer to the chief city of South Caro lina, from win nee it was lukeu in the latter days of the. Confederacy, and which has been carefully kept as a relic of the late unpleasantness. The oillcer i-> C< n. \V. W. II.

In presenting the Hug which he has clieiislied as one of his most plicc less relics of bis war experience, Gen. 1 >avis said : u The duly dovolvillgOll nie, in con nectiou with ibo evening function, is of the litosl pleasing character, and the pleasure is enhanced by discharg ing ii in lliis presence I am lu re to entrust to our Southern guests a rolic oi ihe war between the Slates and to depute one of their members in return it lo the CUy of Charleston, S.

Mr. Kllioit suggested we hike advan tage ol the meeting < ihe Southern Industrial Convention in (bis city i<> discharge this duly. This mcl my views and I am lu re (o-night (or llliP |iurpose. To you, Dr. Kollock, 1 com mit Ibis symbol ol Hie nation's quarrel, ami ask you lo give it to ilie Mayor of Charleston lo nuke such disposition as may scum proper, and I hope the Mag may bo cared for in a manner com mensurate with the courage that de fended it in the strife of battle. Hap pily ami wonderfully for both s, les [bat war has passed into history, an.! our bruised arms are hung up for monuments and the courage ami lor- j hoaraiice, and forliludo, the suffering and the tears thill marked its progress have crystallized the nation Into a more perfect Union. The. Union based on affection, respect and mutual good Will, and Ihe Southern Indllstlinl Coil* volition assembled here gives evidi nee that both the North ami the South tnilV realize that ' peace hath her vic - tories no less renowned ihan war.' If more were wanting, let us one and all in I this City of Brotherly Love, founded in deeds of pence i>y William Pent), wherein the immortal Declaration of gated ami the Constitution adopted, swear lo retain opr allegiance lo the 1 liiion." In accepting the (lag for Charleston Dr. Kollock said : 11 It would seem more Utting that some battle-scarred veteran, some man who had borne it proudly to victory 01' defended it in retreat, some one who had heard the booming Of cannon and bursting of shell I some one who bad slid his blood in made ami promtil dcfonco of the cause for which no many gave iluir lives, should receive this most precious relic from its generous and cnivnlrous captor. Urn then these nu n are rtipldly inarching away never to roluril, and already many have croud over the. river und are resting ill thu shade of ihe trees. Upon us, tlui- s?ms, devolves the duty to pro? ser\c these relics of a cause they hold so dear ami to keep bright in our mem ories and those of our children their glorious deeds. AyOj gentlemen, of the North and South, It is 8Uch deeds as these that lend lo soften the feel i tags of the past ami help to cement again the affections of these brothers who differed, ipia rolod and fought as only the brave light -to tho hitter end. What memories this Hag calls up from the past, and what has become of the braVO hands (hat bore it 'mid shot and shell to victoiy or defeat?

The Charleston l' >-t epenks of him as follows; lie is spoken of as a man of much personal magnetism, with a broad ami liberal education, of im ral habits ami induing, and eminently lilted to d Peharge the duties ol any ofllce rctpuriug good business ami oxo cutlve ability. As a prosperous rice planter, he is acquainted with the needs of the laboring ( lasses, and the idola trous love bestowed upon him by his employees is an evidence of the cour tesy and kindness with which he trcai? all with whom he deals.

It is staled that as a magnetic speaker he will prove a most formidable cam. paigucr and will make it lively for his I oppom nis. rvhouvorlhcy may he." A Wallerboro correspondent of The I Stale has interviewed (Japt. Hoy ward, ho was asked if he would outline to some extent his views upon Iho politi cal issin s which will likely Ciller into the next campaign for Slate ollices. lie replied that at tili? lime he knew of no question upon which public at tention would centre chiefly during the next Slate campaign ; that in his opin. ion the people of the Stale were closer together than they had been for years. Old wounds had healed and the day hud come when Iho people of South (Jaroliua were doing iheir own think ing, and were realizing the fact more fully than they had ever done before thai those questions which tended to hillamo tlie passions ol the people, ami thereby retard all industii.il develop ment, ?hould be relegated lo the rear, and ill their stead should he brought to thj front Buch subjects, the discussion of which in a ea in. digniticd ami intelli gent in.inner, would result in the mate* rial WOlfai'0 and prosperity ol all tin' people oi the State.

Continuing, ho said thai ihe subject of immigration was one w hich should he given attention by those who have the best interests of the Slate at heart. That immigration should bo olllcially and systematically encouraged. In this connection, he instanced Southwestern Louisiana and Southern Texas, now the most prosperous agricultural por tions of iho South, buili up lo a very great extent by an mtlux of Western farmers, induced lo leave their moitgag ed latins in search of cheap and pro ductive lands and a more congenial cli mate. What has been done in Louis iana and Texas, he claimed could be done in South Carolina if the effort was made. Good roads which were doing so much lor North Carolina,and the drainage of our swamps ami ihe abandoned land, couslilutug as they do more than one Tilth ol the acreage of the State, should be vigorously look ed alter.
