Davis sat down amid shouts from the people below, hut it was for a minute Mayor Reese anpjeadied and said: “Time's up, Mr. Davis, we are riding on special train." Mr. Davis arose and as if loth to leavo, turned again to the audience and said: •‘I must say good bye—we are riding on special tram—and again good bye. God bless you.” GOING AWAY. He then turned to Mrs. Cobb and con* versed with her as ho slowly moved toward the stairs. The committee and a number of ladies pressed around him, but the de scent to the depot was made without diffi culty. Escorted to the rear of the car, he •expressed a wish to view the car in which he had ridden, and leaning on the arm of Mayor lteese and Judge Harris he walked the distance of the car’s length, and seemed ueased at the decoration. He was then if ted into the car followed by Mayor Price and the members of the committee. Mr. James H. Campbell carried into the car the old and tattered flag of the Jackson Artillery. Mr. Davis and his daughter kissed it reverently. At 1.25 the train pushed out of the depot, the crowd cheering and waving hats and handkerchiefs. As soon as the gates of the depot were opened, after the departure of the train, men, women and children rushed in and in a few minutes every leaf and petal of flower or shrub had been picked up from the floor. A few moments before there were flowers in every direction, and in a short while not one could be seen. The decorations on the cars were cut up by memento-hunters. Badges of the reception committee were treasured, and in fact everything that was in any way connected with the occasion was valued. The chair in which Mr. Davis sat during his short fitay on the balcony was furnished by Mr. George C. Brown of Brown’s Hotel, and the flowers which decorated it were supplied by Mrs. Brown.

She was accompanied to and from the balcony by Col. A. R. Lamar o{ the Teleorafii. Several photogrnphio views were taken of the scene nnd also of the train ns it went on its way to Savannah. One young lady, Miss Virgin, was kissed by Mr. Davis. Several gentlemen brought their ladies for that purpose, but the crowd was too great to get near him. Mr. Davis was met by Mr. Lee Jordan as he alighted from the car, and the meeting between them was a pleasant scene. One old soldier kept bis hat off from the time the lirst whistle was sonndod until the train crossed the river. Dr. Warren, in his entnusiosm lost his bis, nnd made no effort to find it until tbe train left. Tbe best order prevailed tbrosgbout tbe day. Tlie crowd was estimated at five thou sand people. It was an audience of intel ligence nnd just such a one os would be fonnd in the Academy of Music were Mary Andemon tbe attraction. There were comparatively few negroes in the crowd. One negro woman refused to look at Mr. Davis because sho said be wanted to get her back into slavery. ALONG THE LINE. The Report as Made by the Associated Press Agent at Savannah. Savannah, May 2.—Mr. Davis's trip from Atlanta to Savannah was one continuous ovntiou.

It contained Mr. Davis, Mayor Rceso of Montgomery, Ala., aud the Savannah escort committee. The next coach was the private car of Superin tendent Fleming of the Savannah, Florida and Western railroad. It contained Miss Davis, Kirs. J. B. Gordon, Miss Gordon, Mrs. Reese and a nnmber of other Indies. Tbe Pullman pnrior car, next in front, contained Governor McDaniel, prominent citizens of Atlanta and invited guests, among them being several special correa- pendents, representing leading Northern, Western nnd Southern papers. The sleeper and parlor cars, next in front, contained tlie Montgomery Greys. Tho Montgomery Trne Blues occupied the next ear. These companies, under command of CoL Thor, G. Jones, of the second regiment Alabama State troops, constituted the eacort of ex- President Davis. All speeches made along the route were very short, but in the most happily chosen words. The decorations of Mr. Davis' car were so profuse that none of the wood or iron work was visible. At the depot in this city fifteen military companies and an immense concourse of jieople assembled as the trains arrived. It was 8 o'clock when the train arrived, and the darkness which had fallen over tbe city made it almost impossible for the throng which lined tbe streets from the station to the residence of Mr. IL M. Comer, whose guest Mr. I avis will be while in the city, to distinguish his features, but as ho was recognized the crowd everywhere broke into lond cheers, and his ride in a carriage drawn by faur horses was a verita ble triumph. Gov. McDaniel and Gen. Gordon, who accompanied him, were also londiy cheered. ITponhi* arrival at Mr. Comer’s residence Mr. Davis, in response to repeated cheers of the crowd, made tbe following short speech in acknowledgment: "I want to thank yon from ray heart for these manifstations of yonr kindness which convinces me that onr cause is not lost but lives eternal in the hearts of tho son* of 1770. •‘Wear* now at peace with all the world and I Binccrely hope that this may remain ao, but this does not involve the abandon ment of principle or the denial of truth, fn this sense I receive this manifestation, and for this I am heartily thankful" He was again londiy cheered as ho retired. While feeling the fatigue natural to so eventful a trip, Sir. Davis is otherwise in good health and spirits. Governor McDaniel waa escorted by the military to the reainence of MayorRnfqa E. Lester, where he remain* while in tlie city. Mr. Davia will remain here throughout tic week, and to-morrow will assist Gov. McDaniel in the military review incident to the opening of the Chatham Artillery cen tennial encampment.

Anguetiu O. Bacon for the olttce or Governor of Georgia for the following reMOUv: Major Bacon has the ability to dUch&rge tho duties of the office with credit to himself and to tho ad vantage of the people of Georgia. Hit long expe rience as 8poar.or of the House eminently fit* him for the position, and givea him that knowledge of State craft so essential. Major Bacon is an honest mau. No taint of suspicion attaches to UJm of hav ing improperly applied any funds entrusted to him or of having usod any position he has held for his own aggrandizement. Major Bacon is a sober man. No report has ever been circulated about his being a "publican and wiuo-bibber.'’ Major Bacon is a sound Democrat. In the dsrker days of Georgia’s political history he was always found fighting for the Democracy. The accusation of lukewarmness baa never been charged against him. In the last campaign, when the voice of the people plainly said Bacon was the choice and a committee gave it to another, he quietly submitted, and even made no opposition to a second term for his competitor. For these reasons we think he ought to receive the en- dorseifient of our people. We believe Fierce county will give him a delegation. B*vl*y Banner: There are Just one hundred men in this State that we would rather see Oovemor than Gordon. True, he 4s a patriot and his "war record” is among the best, but there are reasons why he should not be Governor. Tbe people of Georgia are always willing to recognize and reward true merit wherever they find it. This has been done a ready in tbe case of Mr. Gordon. He was elected to tho Senate of the United States, in which office there is more honor and more money than tbero is in the Governorship of Georgia. Bnt, disregarding the honor thus shown him by bis State, and taking ad vantage of his high posi/lon to get a more lucrative place, be resigns the office, leaves the State and goes West in search of the "almighty dollar.” By some hook or crook he lost his grip in the West, and now comes back to Georgia aud asks tbe people to set him up again. It may be that Mr. Gordon has some big business project in view which he could accomplish were he elected Governor. But if all other Georgians think as we do, they are not willing to have him use onr offices of public trust to further him in his business and speculation lu other States. Cuthbert Liberal: As between Bacon and Sim mons, after a careful survey of tho Hold, we do not believe there will be any real coutest. We do not believe that if left to these two men, Simmons will roceivo the vote of twenty counties Ln the nominat ing convention. Believing this: there being naught against the character of Major Bacon: his un doubted executive ability: and the certainty of an effort on the part of North and Upper Middle Georgia to secure a man from that section of the 8tate, ren ders it necessary that all our people unite upon him as the most available (aud certainly as able and pure as any) man upon whom we can unite. We have naught against Judge Simmons. But it is cer tain that he has not the shadow of a chance for the nomination. His positive refusal to resign his present position is evidence that he. himself, en tertains no hope of it His further candidacy can do nothing more than possibly weaken Major Ba con’s chances for the nomination. We therefore believe lt the duty of South Georgia to unite as one man upon the latter, aud we believe our readers ^ill heartily agree with us. Jonesboro News: Geue'al Gordon is remembered by the tnen who wore the gray and followed him Virginia. But Major Bacon is the choice of 1 majority of not only tho people of Clayton, but Georgia, while lt Is a matter of sentiment that gives General Gordon his followers and should he fall to enter the race tho Gordon element will be for Bacon, But should General Gordon enter, Bacon, we tnink, would rarry this county, ss no one can or will quo* I tlon the executive ability of Mr. Bacon, as no man has done so much for and so little that impeded the advancement aud strength of tho Democracy of Georgia. He is one of the nicft able Jurists and po*ecMses one of the clearest and most logical miuds of any malt in Georgia. Aud We don’t know of a man that would grace the gubernatorial chair with more grace, dlguity and ability, as his charac ter, both as a public man as well as su individual, ' irreproachable. Courteous, kind ami ehivalric, would make a Governor that Georgia would pr9ud to own as hef chief executive. Oglethorpe Echo: The Washington Gazette wants Judge Wm. Beese of that place for Governor. Bacon wasn't on the track. Mr. Reeae might suit very well, but when we can get a man with the char acter and ability of Mr. Bacon, barked with claims upon the peoplo to support, we aro going to sup; ort him. Thera will doubtless be many mentioned * oppose onr candidate, but tUero will not be any „ best him. The contest ftf Governor has developed fur Major Bacon a strength in Oglethorpo which S lves him the connty by a Urge majority over udge Simmons. There waa a strung feeling for Bscon in Oglethorpe when Governor McPaniol was nominated and his conduct under defeat then and his subsequout course has made him tho undin puted choice of the county in the coming election. Court week brought out a number of representa tive men and the verdict of the people may be well considered as made up and ready for rendering the convention and at the polls. Dublin Gazette: The race will be a lively one, bnt foremost in the contest will be Major Bacon. It ‘ not often that you see a man gaiu strength by «1 teats, bnt such is the case with Ilscon. Although he has beeu beaten several times, yet to day he stands higher in the estimation of Georgians than any man in the race. Uis ability is unquestioned, ami as to purity, let his record speak. lie has gone through several heated campaigns, but has come out each time taiu lathe iant reproche. He baa never sought to use the bench as a stepping stone in poP tics, and he belongs to no rings or cliques, ambitious, yet his ambition is a laudable on want bim for Governor, Laurens county wants him, and we will be badly deceived if tbU itn universal verdict. Hacon In Jasper. Editor Trlkohaph: On a recent visit to the Su- perior Court of Jasper county I fonnd the poople almost a unit for Bacon for Governor, and I heard of only one man in the county who would vote for Gordon in case of his condidacy.

April 27.-The future/bride of the Presi dent of the United States is here, and ail American Paris at least is standing on tiptoe to catch a glimpse “ ‘ ‘ " is rather difficult Miss Fo!-cm and at present busy buying the former’s trousseau. They leave their hotel after a 10 o'clock breakfast, and although you may stand at one end of the windows to see them and strain your eyes to see how looks the future mistress of the White House, yonr curiosity is only rewarded by a fleeting vision of maiden loveliness clad in a long, pale fswn paletot lined with baby-blue silk, a bat of the same color, shaded by long pale-blue plumes, be neath which shine a pair of merry long-lashed eyes that look brown and gray and blue at different times, and a tiny pair of bronze boots that disappear quickly in the coupe. Now that it has been definitely announced, and in the Paris papers, that Miss Frances Folsom will become Mrs. President Cleveland ln June, the ladles nuke no disguise of the fact that they are busy buying tho trousseau. They see but few friends, although they have many acquaintances here whic i they made during their first visit abroad. One or two girl friends are tbe only ones ad mitted to view the exquisite gowns and laces, the 1 underwear, hats and bonnets, gloves and lingerie and the many other articles that have been pur chased and which require the entire time of a maid to unpack for examination and repack again for their trip across tbe AtlantlQ. A check of ^|1,600 came not long ago from Col. J. B. FoLsoui,tho grandfather of Miss Folsom.aml last weok bo rent $wx> more, so tbe little beauty will have $2,20(1 for a trousseau, besides tbe $50u to $1,000 to be given her by her mother. The wedding dress is of course one of tho most interesting costumes iu tho trousseau, but none known by that special name has been or is being made. However, an exquisite white dress that will serve admirably for a full dress wedding in being made by Worth. It is of white faille francalse silk, haa a court train three yards long, the front i» draped with duchess lace, the corsage is cut square and has elbow sleeves, and a quantity of tulle has been ordered with the dress, which makes It look as though it were to be for tbe wedding. In any case it will be worn at one of the first wedding re ceptions. The underwear and lingerie which are being made by a special firm ore entirely of very fine cambric std linen, and with the exception of two sets, are trimmed with Valenciennes lace. These two are done ln Torchon and Brussels lace made by hand. A lovely morning or boudoir gown, which shows the refined taste of Miss Folsom, is made by Pin- gat. It Is of sky-bluo surah silk, with a lining of rose-pink satin, and is trimmed with a profusion of creamy Valenciennes lace and pink ribbon, jabot ted down the front. Several boll dresses have beeu ordered, but vegr iw ere shown. One that will probably create a sensation in Washington is or a pale yellow tint and is made similar to one recently ordered by a Rus sian Princess. It bos a gorgeous train of silver bro cade. with panels of violet velvet, the bodice is cut heart shaped and has a little velvet vest embroid- ered in pink roses. Of the boots and shoes, slippers and glovea or dered by this demure little American there is no end. It would seem as though the Preddf nt would not have to buy her a pair fur yoan to come, but they will probably be worn out before next winter. She wears a No. 0 glove and all of them are lu the Suede style sud most of tbsm of undressed kid. Low-heeloi and higb-heoled shoes ln kid and bronze, tiny slippers in every hue of satin and brocade, silk and lace, cover a loug stand in her dressing-room. A pair has been ordered for each costume, and with tbe bate and bonnets, wraps and Jackets, *be will be Htteduut like a princess. . 1 must not forget one charming little cloth dress. It is of p%lo gray tricot, has a plain skirt, very lung and bouff&nt drapeiy and a pointed bodice with a vent of uny velvet- The wrap that accompanies this is of yak lace, tho samo color, and is lined with rose satin. Mrs. Folsom and her daughter have taken their rooms until the middle of May. and U Is prohibit they will remain later. ble consequences to themselves befoie engaging in strikes and boycotts and pressing demands upou employers with respect to wages aud w< rking hours. The ferment that has beeu in progress among them in different parts of the country nos already done them more harm than they seem to suspect. It has put a damper upon enterprise ln many directions, •nd the prospect of a great revival of tnduatrial activity that was so brlgnt toward the eud of the winter is sadly darkened. Manufacturers, builders and other employers feel that they cannot safely make auy calculations fur the future. They do not know w hat may happen at any moment. They dare not take orders or make contracts based on a given scale of wages, or a certain number of working hours ln tho day, because they do not know at what moment tuey may be met with a demand, enforced by a strike and perhaps by a boycott, for moro pay, or ahorter hours and the same pay. The do not know whether they will be able to meet their en gagements at all. or whether, if they can meet them, they can do so withont sustaining ruinous losses. The consequence Is that they decline to mtke en gagements. Manufacturers refuse to take orders and builders will not euter into contracts. And so it is that enterprises which not long ago promised to give employment to thousands of men have been abandoned and they will not be undertaken until employers see some prospect that they can venture to move without incurring the danger of losing all they have. This is not supposition. It is fact. Aud it is a fact in which none are more deeply interested than the workingmen thomsclvcz. It means to thsm all • tlie difference there is between plenty t^ do at liv ing wages and little to do and sharp competition among themselvts. It is a fact in the presence of whic’i strikes and boycotts are of no avail, be cause no man can be compelled to employ his capi carrying on industry when he belteves lt to be unsafe so to employ it. It is a fact the force and significance of which are intensified by the utter wamonness of many of the strikes, the unreasoua- bleneea of some of the demands, such as that none but members of certain organizations shall l>e em ployed, and tbe apparent disposition of the men iu some instances to strike and boycott for bo other purpose than to make a display of their power. If the strikes were in all cases for highor wagos, or even for shorter hours, emnloyera^could Judge bet ter what to do As it is, ail is uncertainty, and en terprise is paralyzed, and the men, so far from (lettering their condition, are nukiug matters wotso for themselves. One idea that seema to have taken possession of the miuds of workingmen very generally Is that a shortening of the working (layby one-fifth will In some way benefit them. The idea seems to be that too much is produced, and that there la not enough for all to do working ten hoars a day. And so it is proposed to shorten the hours ln order that moro meu can get employment. That Is a plausible no tlon, but are ibe men quite sure that tho plau would work ss they seem to expect?

Bacon Is the chotoe of a majority of Georgians for Governor. Bacon is a man whom every honest hearted Georgian weuld delight to vote for, not so much because of his magnanimous ac tions in past gubernatorial nominating conventions, but because of bis ability and fltneaa to honestly and intelligently represent his people in the highest office of the State. When the nominating conven tion assembles we would be glad to chronicle the fact that A. O. Baron had been nvminated for Gov ernor of the Empire flute of tho South by acclima tion.

Bacon of Bibb has been before tbe people of Georgia in connec tion with the Governorship for six years. Ordinarily such an ordeal of candidature would have killed otf a thousand aspirants and mortally wounded the survivors. In the present instance, however. It haa in fact strengthened Major Bacon. Tbe very ele ments which have worked against him are those which, above ail things else, it fa beet for Georgia to pat away.

Mohtrkai, Anrtl 24.—Archbishop Tescheou’e miBdfffffint forbidding Catholics to Join the Knights of Labor was issued to-dsy and has caused the most Intense excitement among ths working classes. It will lie read in all the Cathollo churches next Sunday. Tho following ore a few extracts: "In our mandemest dated June 2J, 1H34, we* warned you. dear brethren, against all dangerous societies and in particular against Freemasonry, so formally condemned by the sovereign Pontiffs, and K rtlcuUrly by Uis Holineiui Pope Leo XIII. We lisve it uur duty to remind you, dear brethren, that the church forbids anv one to enroU himself in any Masonic society under the pain of excom munication. You know well that excommunica tion is tbe most tenlble penalty the church can in flict upon a guilty person. Serious riots attended with diMoatroua conflagrations and great loss of life hsve just occurred ln a number of cities in the United States, and if the papers are to be believed, these misfortunes are the result of strikes organized by a society whose ramifications extend every where and count as its members laboring men of every kind. "Having learned that delegates of a society known m ths Koighta of Labor had ende&vored to recruit members in some parts of this province, we believe it our duty, dear brethren, to place you on your guard against it and ploose remark that we do not speak in our own name, but in that of the Holy See, whose advice we have asked. In fact, daring the month of October, 1883, we sent to Rome an authentic copy of the rules and constitutions of the above society, which copy has betn handed to us by one of its members, who wished to And out wbst right or wrong there was in it. Almost one vest later tbs congregation or ths Holy Office, after having examined these constitutions with all the necessary precautions in such a case, sent us the following answer, which should be for you an ab solute rule of conduct, and keep you away from the society of the Knights of Labor. Following is Ihe translation: " *On account of the principles, organisation, and statutes of the Knights of Labor association, that association ia to be relegated among those which »re prohibited by the Holy Bee. in accordance with tbe instruction of this supreme congregation given on the 10th May, 1884.’ "Under the pretext of protecting poor working men against the rich and powerful who would op press them, the heads and instigators of theea so cieties seek to get rich and raise themselves in the world at the expense of these unfortunate and oftentimes too credalons workingmen. They sound very high the boesy-coated words of 'mutual pro tection and charity/ so as to rotate their vkUaw te a continual agitation and to foment troubles, dis orders and injustice. Then there results for the workingmen two great misfortunes. First, they expose themselves to lose their faith, their good customs and every sentiment of honesty end Jus tice in associating themselves with strangers who n .fortunately show themselves very cunning in oommunieating to them their own perversity. Then ws have witnessed here, as in France. Eng land and ths United States, the sad result of these conepirocies against public tranquility. The poor workingmen were left with nothing else than the deep mDerr, a total rain of the Indus tries which gave their daily bread, and after the rigor of human justice haa added to it exemplary punishment.” SECRETARY MANNING IMPROVING. Humor-tor if u ItealjfunUon Stoutly Denied lu Face of >eeinlng Authority for Tlinn. Was hi kotos. May L—The friends of Secretory Manning are very much gratified at ths progress he has made towards a complete recovery during the week Jest closed. He bee been able to drive oat every day aiaoe Tuesday last, and be sits up almost ail day now, receiving and convening with those who call to aee him. He baa sent for and talked with the principal officers of tbs Treasury Depart meat and he is kept informed as to the general affairs iu that department and in Con Ihe only apprehension his friends have is that In his anxiety to again imubw the duties of his office, he will not take the ra»t which in hie case ia lu- pratha Tb< -•( Who aritelflast t» bin m* that starles at hie contemplate* w lately circulate d aolutdy witt,.,.;t teuj tur ti mu ptrtation is realized tne consequences to industry may be very serious. Ndto that they are expecting the same pay for one-fifth less product. How would that effect, tay, the building trades? Every structure put up would cost more iu propor tion to the increased pay of the men per hour. People who think of building would take very par ticular account of that fact. Man? have been sav- lug with a view to building dwellings for them- selves. These for tho most part would put off building rather than build on a smaller scale than they had intended. Others would build on a smaller scale. Tbe result as likely aa not would be that instead of their being work for more men, there would uot be work for so many. Another point that should not be neglected is that the pro- posed shortening of hours would be a mode of tax ing the consumers of manufactured products, and those who have cccasiuu to build for the benefit of workmen. Taxation of this kind will not give em- ploy ment to more men. Another point U that if the plan were carried into effect there would be leea product ln the country. Tlie pay of labor comes out of product, and if there is less product there is less lobe divided between the capitalist and the laborer, and the l.xW? cannot expert a larger abase. On the contrary, be wuet expect a emauer share.— Chicago TiUiekr Wngea Now suit In the I’sit. Iu any attempt to forecaat the result of the move ment for an advauce of wages It is nsceseary at the outset to learn tho reason for the movement. That Is not the same ln all casta. In case of common labor!! !» *»ld that tho wages paid until rarently were not enough to live on. In case of ekllled labor It Is said thxt the workman waa uot receiving his full share pf the veins Vi MlC rroduef By dot* not offer a, hi. ri-aaob for liming the aiWanoa the argu ment that hU pay la not aufflclent to hwp him. Ue is a step ahead of tbe common labpwIn this matter. Tbe highest wags to common labor ln the flush times was $3 a dsy. It sunk with other things dur ing tho long depresalon to $1.25 and in certain in stance* to less, but now it 1* back to $1.50 or more on the average. Tbe common labor employed by plumbers costs $2 a day, and bod-carriera get the same If tbu demand for nine hoars at this rate of l*y is granted, contractors estimate that ths average pay to hod-carriera will be $2.40 a day. When common labor received $2 a day food and clothing were 50 per cent higher than now. Flour which msy be bad now for $4.50 a barrel then coet $ 7.50 and $8. Other necessities of food were ln proportion. Dry goods do not cost over half what they did then. Even ao late as 1H78, when tho glut preceding the panic was greatest, a certain kind of sheetings were thought cheap at 11 cents a yard, but now jnst as good an article may be bad for 6 cents. The reduction in tbe price of ordinary clothing and boots and shoos of the coarser kinds Is equslly notable. A careful estimate of all the ele ments of the case will prove that common labor ln the citiea is better paid now than It ever was before, and, if atea lily employed, would eoon be In better circumstances than it onco thought it coaid hope for. Excepting a few of the first class, tbe wages of carpenters, for instance, never reached $3.50 a day. Tbe pay was from $2 50 to $3. The average pay now of men of average skill ia $2.50, but, outside of rents, tbe cost of living is ons-balf what it waa in lbs flash time. More money can be saved from $2.50 a day now, with ths some number of days worksd than could be saved teen off $3.80, A com parison of the wagee and coet of living will ehow that to be true In nearly all the occupations. Tbe golden ags has always been In the past It is never in ths present or fatnre. That is because lbs present never satisfies and the future tokee its hue from to-day. At least the present never satis fies except when it is oartfully comps’ed with the K t and its advantages seen. If ths advonleges e hinted at were clearly seen by everybody. It would be easy to look forward to the end of the movement for an advance of wages. Men handled more money in the flush times than they do now, but it remains to be proved that they enjoyed any more of the conveniences and comforts of life.— Pittsburg Times. YVho are the Oppressors ? "I am hungry,” said one of the striking driven of tbe Third Avenue Railroad on Tuesday. , W don’t you go to work, then?” he was asked. " like to.” replied the striker, "but they won't let an The uncomplaining endurance at the pemm hunger would be noble in a good cause, as, for stance, in a strike of workingman to secure fair wages or to assert and maintain rights against a harsh and oppressive employer. But a man who gives np a good place, in which be is earning $2 a day, to wander about the streets penniless and hun gry merely because be bos been ordered to so do by a few reckless and headstrong men, who are paid a high rate of wages daring the continuance of a strike, is not a hero. Ue is a slave.— New York Tribune. Encouraging Signs. It Is encouraging to observe that the dissatisfied laborers are becoming more rautioas about entering upon strikes, and are relying more upon confer ences and arbitration to secure their ends. In sev eral conspicuous esses in different parte of the country a settlement has been reached through these means. Employers have teemed, likewise, that public opinion will not sustain them if they refute to listen to reasonable complaints, or.to so- t on) ja*tice to their workmen. The American peo- pl° have a constitutional regard for law, order and fair play.—Boston Evening Record. smile.
