Sword— Other Incidents,

Young People of Grace-Street Bid Him aTender Farewell,

The reception tendered Rev. Dr. W. B.Hatcher last night by the young peopleof Grace-Street Baptist Church was agrand success.Mr. N. W. Baure prosified. The church

was beautifully decorated for the oc-casion with palms and ferns, which madethe lovely auditorium even prettier thanusual.

The exercises were opened by the con-gregation, led by the large chorus choirsinging "Blest be the Tic That Binds,"after which Dr. R. P. Kerr. of the FirstPresbyterian Church, offered prayer.

The next number was a duet byMessrs. Haddon Watkins and ThurstonCardoza.

Dr. J. A. C. Chandler, on behalf ofthe young people of the church, made anaddress, in which he spoke of the lossthat would "be sustained by them in theleaving of their pastor.

The church was crowded, nearly every

Baptist pastor of the city being present.The programme included a number of

solos, duets, etc., in which Mrs. J. R.Durrett, Mr. Cardoza, and IVTr. Watkinsall took part, and after addresses hadbeen made by Dr. J. B. Hutson and Frof.Chandler, Dr. Hatcher and his wife, withthe deacons of the church, formed a linearound the pulpit, and the entire con-gregation filed by as they grasped hishand and prayed God's blessing uponhim.

But for all thatho stood by the organization, and he•stands to-day for Southern Democracy..

He is opposed to biifb tariff and shipsubsidies and all sorts of doss' legis-lation, and -he has no tolerance forwhat is termed Republicanism. Thepeople of South Carolina are by natureand tradition Demo-crat?. and to most

of them the term Democrat is sacredto. ibem. as the term Republican isbaleful.

McLaurin was elected as a free silverDemocrat, and he claims now to be aDemocrat. But it*lsvery clear* that be

;is in sympathy withcertain policies ofthe national Republican part}', and heis in hijrh favor with the McKinley ad-ministration. For these reasons wefeel confident that Tillinan will winby

a large majority if the contest is nar-rowed down between him and Me-Laurin. But the contest willbe watch-ed with keenest interest, because itwill serve to show in a measure (be

extent of the political revolution thatfans been ffojup: on in the SouthernStales for some lime past. "While thegreat majority of the Southern peopleare Democrats, there is now a _lar.eecontingent who are more in accordwith the principles and policies of thenational Republican party than thoseof the national Democratic party. Hon.Thomas C- Grettfliaw, chairman of theGeorgia Railroad Commission, has re-cently written some letters to- SenatorMi-Laurin approving that gentleman'scourse in Congress, and the sentimentsthat he expressed inhis speech recent-lydelivered at Charlotte. X. C. He de-clares that lie is a believer in the doc-trine of sound mom?y and expansion,and says that itwillnot be longbeforethe correStues.s of his position uponboth these questions will be endorsedby the entire ikiuth. "Expansion andsound money," says he, "means in-

crease in the commerce of our country,

higher prices for labor and the pro-

ducts of labor, and greater prosperitygenerally." He then goes on to speak

of the interest which the South has inChina and the Philippines, aiid saysthat when Manila, becomes American-ized and our people are-brought inclose touch with the Chinese and Japa-

nese nations, there wall be underpro-duction instead of overproduction ofcotton, the price willbo advanced, and"the hills of the Oarolinas and Georgia

willblossom as the rose.''Passing on from that, he speaks of.

the necessity of promoting the Ameri-can carrying trade, and so intimatesthat he is in favor of. the ship-subsidybill. Finally, he says that a politicalparty, to be successful, must keep upwith the times; that it itm'st standupon the livingissues of the day andabandon the follies of the past,say that there are many men 'through-

out the South, especially in the manu-facturing sections, who are in thorough

accord with Senator McLaurin aud'Mr. Crenshaw in the views which they

entertain on these questions, and it isa foregone conclusion that these willbe heard from in the forthcoming cob-test in South Carolina.

\u25a0 But that is not all. There are manyDemocrats in the South, we do notmean the professional politicians, whowould be glad to see a respectableminority party, utterly regardless ofthese- economic questions to which wehave referred. The Montgomery Ad-vertiser, one of 'the leading Democraticpapers in the South, makes bold theproposition, which it says has not been•successfully controverted, that it is-best for any State io have two strongparties to contest for the control of af-fairs. The one-party system is con-trary to the very genius of govern-ment. Tt makes party issues men andnot measures, and itbegets intoleranceand bossism. "We believe that thegreat body of the Southern people areheartily sick and tired of it, and webelieve, moreover, that with the negroquestion out of the way, and it is rap-idly being eliminated, they would nottolerate it for long.

In South Carolina most of thenegroes have "been disfranchised, amiwe cannot but believe that this Till-tnan-McLaurin contest will be the in-

augural movement of a permanent splitin the Democratic party of that State.Whether or not it willresult in the or-ganization of a white Republican party

MONTAGUEPEOPLE'"ARE VERY HAPPY

Rejoicing Over Successof Their Favorite.

CONGRESSMAN TO SPEAK HERE!

He Will Address the Voters at Old Market

Hall To-Nifht Under the Auspices of the

Old Dominion Club—Gossip Gath-

ered Among the Leaders,

Attorney-General Montague took an-other long jump in the gubernatorialrace yesterday when, in a large mass-meeting, Bedford county instructed hertwenty-five delegates for him withoht adissenting voice. This places him fortyvotes ahead of Mr. Swanson. the dele-gates standing 102 for Mmtague and 152'for Swanson.

Lynchburg and Danville will chooseto-day. The former has eleven delegates,

while the latter has sixteen. It seems to

be tho pretty gneral opinion among thepoliticians that Lynchburg will go forMontague, while Danville is classed asfighting ground on all hands, withchances favorable to the Congressman.

He spoke there last night, while Mr.Montague fired a final shot inLynchburg.

Mr. Echols' stock moved up consider-ably yesterday, his home city and county

instructing their thirty-five delegates tovote for him as long as his name shouldbe before the convention, or he shouldhave auy chance to win the nomination.

The Montague people were wild withdelight over the long lead of their fav-orite last night, and gathered about the

hotel lobbies and figured out with eachother how he would, in their judgment,finally win the prize. They were claim-ing the eleven votes of Lynchburg withabsolute confidence, and said they hadan even chance in Dinwiddie.

Mr. Montague spent the forenoon ofyesterday at "Warrenton attending Fau-quier Court. He did not speak, however,

as he had to take the midday train forLynchburg, where he closed his cam-paign for that city last night. He willreturn here this morning to sit with theSchool Board to-day, but further thanthis hi3plans are not definitely known.Itis probable, however, that he will ad-dress the Clay-Ward Montague Club atBelvidere Hall one night this week.

While the Montague people were vic-ing with each other last night in crowingover the victories of their favorite, thesupporters of Mr. Swansun did not seemto be downcast. Capt. Cunningham Hall,

Sheriff Solomon and Mr. H. M. Smith.Jr., were among the Swanson leaders atMurphy's, and they were chatting pleas-antly with their friends as if th*y didnot propose to lose any sleep over thefact that Bedford had gon? against theirman. Indeed, it is understood that thiscounty has all along been conceded tothe Attorney-General by the friends of

iMr. Swanson.The Swanson people will have a warm

meeting at Old Market Hall to-night.The Congressman will return from Dan-ville this morning, and is expected tomake one of his red-hot speeches. Thegathering will be under the auspices ofthe Old Dominion Club, and will be pre-sided over by President \W W. V.'ood ifhis health will permit. Some local ora-tor willbe selected to present Mr. Swan-son, and he will no. doubt have a largecrowd to hear him make hi3initial speechin Richmond during the campaign.

Mr. "W. A. Land, editor of the- Black- jstone Courier, was. in the city yesterday.He was present at Lunenburg Courthousewhen the County Committee met andordered a primary election to select dele-gates to the gubernatorial convention,and gave out a statement yesterday onthe subject, in which he said there weretwenty-one of the thirty-six members ofthe committee present and that nineteenof those present participated in the pro-ceedings. He says: "By common consentthe committee called themselves together.VCtsn regular secretary was present and atemporary chairman was elected. Aroll-call disclosed twenty or twenty-one answering to their names.Others were at court, but remained out-side. Others were present in the room,but refused to answer present to theirnames.

"One who was present, but refused to berecorded present, disputed that a majorityof the Co members had answered as pres-ent, and demanded a recall. This wasgranted. In the meantime one at leasthad been persuaded to leave the room.The second roll-call disclosed nineteenpresent, which was a majority. Nineteenwere recorded by the secretary and twoother gentlemen present, one of whom wasmyself. This non-voting but much-talk-ing member a^ain questioned the accu-racy of the count, declaring that onlysixteen had answered. It was decidedthat since he was present, but would notvote, that no farther notice would betaken of his objections, and those pres-ent proceeded with the business in view."Mr. Land then goes on to say that as

an evidence that Mr. Swanson's friendsregarded the action of the committee asregular, some of them voted and thatthe Commonwealth's Attorney of the ;county is reported to have voted for Col.Marshall. He says in conclusion that amember of the committee- and a friendof Mr. Swanson has told him that he iswillingto accept the result as final.

The Republican State Committee willmeet at Murphy'^ Hotel at 8 o'clock to-night for the purpose of decidingwhether the party willput up candidatesfor State officers this fall and whethernominations shall be made for seats inthe coming Legislature.It is said that some other matters of in-

terest to the party willcome up for consid-eration. Chairman Park Agnew, of Alex-andria, will preside and Captain AsaRogers, of Petersburg, will be at hisdesk. Itbegins to look as if the partywas preparing to put a full ticket in thefield and make a hard fight for every-thing in sight.

Col. J. Hampton Hoge, of Roanoke, andGen. James A. "Walker, of Wythe. arementioned for Governor in case nomina-tions are -made, while Mr. R. T. Thorp.of Mecklenburg, is said to be the choiceof the leaders for Attorney-General. !

The meeting to-night promises to bawell attended and much interest is man-ifested in its result.

Three of the candidates willbe inRich-mond to-day, as Mr.Echols is expected toreach here on the afternoon train fromStaunton. His friends here are very proudof the splendid endorsement given him byhis home county and city yesterday, andthey say they will wage a hot tight in hisinterests in this city from now until theprimaries are held on June 6th. It is be-lieved that Mr. Echols will spend muchofhis time here organizing his forces sin-til the votes are cast, and those close tchim are claiming that the size of his votein Richmond will cause some surprises.

Colonel Dick Marshall's friends her* sayhe will capture some delegates in Rich-mond as a result of the quiet fight theyare making. They are not running a tinhorn or brass band canvass, but ColonelB. O. James, who is managing his fight, ishard at work and is surrounded by someable lieutenants. Colonel Marshall is ex^pected.here some time during the week

THE MACHINISTS' STRIKE.We suppose tborc is uo coutrp vert ins

the proposition that the desire of mento work shoiter hours :ind set moreiconey is natural, and Is an cvcr-pr.'s-

«rt force urjriusc men to improve theircondition. It is this spirit of upwiirJ

[progress wlm-li is Hie iriotlve |>ow@'behind all the development of tie con-veniences, comforts and luxuries oflife. The people who have, not thisspSfit are found only in the lowest or-der of savajjes- -\u25a0

*"''\u25a0

~-The complexity, however, of modern

"civilization is sm-h that few men orclasses of men can follow the lead ofthis desire without beiuff confrontedby interests, and. indeed, rights, ofothers which cannot T>e ignored andihave "to be reckoned with. "Xo manliveth to himself." The lncmlwrs ofsodiety are interdependent, and in norelationship is this more true ihau inthat between employer and employe.

Itis much to be repxetied that the con-ditions and the aspirations of each are

not better known to Hie other, but•boards of directors hold their meet-ings to themselves, aad unions ofworkmen hold their nieeiinss to them-selves, and the exact situation of eachcide is not known to the other, whereit would be well if they were muchtetter understood.. Therefore, itis not(inappropriate that some expressionshould be jriven to the present situa-tson as it strikes the general public.

Ifin the present strike of the ma-chinists for shorter hours and bettorpay the question at Issue related only

•to the machinists, the problem wouldnot be so difficult, but as in all theshops where machinists aro employedthere are a great many other workmen,

not machinists, who Avouldnecessarilybe affected by any change in hoursmade for the machinists, and as thecost of manufacture would thereby beereatly increased, the heads of theseestablisbfcments have necessarily to con-sider the demands of the machinists inconnection with the entire operation oftheir shops.

Fortunately for us our machinists as& class are ihigfhly respectable, consef-

v*tivemen, amenable <to reason andthoroughly law-abiding. ItIs this jren-

eral character ainonj? our workmen"winch has made Richmond a. desirableplace for industrial pursuits. Shouldthis character ---be iost or impaired^ itwpTildbe a serious blow to the prosper-ity of this city, which 'is so dependent

manufactures. We doubt notthat at some future time industrialoperations willbe so organized that achange of hours will 'be permissible,but we do not see how that is now pos-sible under the present system of man-ufacture and the contracts of the man- I"ufacturers.

A"particularly interesfinc: feature ofthis strike, in this connection, is its re-lation to the W. R. TrifrgShipbuildingCompany. As we understand it. all of(their contracts were made before anystrike (for shorter hours and higherwages was contemplated, and w;;rabased upon the hours and wages cxk-t-inj* at the time thje contracts weremade. To enforce a different condi-tion, in which there would result achange both ofhours and wages. to thedetriment of the company to the ex-tent of 1:2 1-^ per cent., would be aburden which under sharp competition,incident to all these contracts, wouldbe most unfair to the company- Ifshorter time and "increased Magesshould be made universal in theUnited States and should apply onlyto contracts made on that, basis, then\u25a0there would be equity in the workmen |and equality between the manufac-turers. But for one plant to be singledout and required to pay more and work

:less than dts competitors, would be to'

handicap that plant in so serious awaj- that some extraordinary advan-tages would -have to exist to enable itto compete with those who were notgo constrained.Itis one of the notable events in the

history of Richmond, that Mr- Trigg, !with his indomitable energy, unniue'i-intrcourage and almost resistless force, ifcas been a.blo to establish a large ship- ibuilding industry in the heart, of Rich-mond, and has gotten men who' wouldnever otherwise have put their moneyfaere, to employ workmen and to fur-nish many hundreds of thousands-, cfdollars to establish this plant audcreate a new industry. As is inevita- Ifole in the early stages of such a greatwork, the chief, ifnot the only benefi-ciaries, are the workmen themselves.The enormous wages which are paidout by snch a plant, necessarily beforeany return can be had, carry supportand comfort to hundreds of families'who mish't otherwise be an need. Itseems to us tnatt such an enterprise6bould receive the cordial support ofthe working people simply for theirown interest, iffor no other reason. Inall cases of conflicts between capitaland labor, the sympathy of the iiyblicprimarilygoes out 'to labor! and it must•l>e a veryuntenable case in which theworkmen do not have at least themoral support of the public. It seems:to us that this is a case in which equityand wisdom are not on the side of the

. strikers, and that the manufacturinginterests of.Richmond, as an industrialcenter, would be most seriously iui-IMi'iredit a condition was establishedhere which made the cost ofmanufac-turing hieiier than inother places. Asfar as we are informed and believe,there Is not a ship-yard in the country

\u25a0 where the conditions demanded by the'machinists of .the Trigg works now1 prevail.
