Galvsston, Tex., April 24. The
following letter from Hon. Jefferson
Davis to H.W. Pope.of Marshall.Texas,
in which he gives his views as to what
legislation might be adopted ' to bring
about harmony and unity of action be
tween capital and labor, has just been
made public.
Bsauvoib, Miss., March 27 1886.
Hon. II. W. Pops, T
My Dear Sir: Fully appreciating the
oompliment conveyed by your request
for my views as to what legislation
might be adopted to adjust the conflict
now going on between capital and labor.
I regret that the oompliment is so little
merited. Ihe old war between capital
wiu laoor nas caiica lurta me oest in
tellects of Europe. It has disturbed
commerce, overthrown governments,
produced anarchy and crept from the
wreck without solving the ; problem.
With us the contest is in its incipient
state and happily it may be that some
thing can be done to check its growth.
Self-interest and free competition for
labor will, wherever laborers are abun
dant, give to the rich power to oppress
the poor. We cannot legislate to de
stroy; the motive of self-interest, for that
lies at the foundation of progress, and
our efforts must therefore be directed to
the uniform interest of labor and capi
tal, as far as this may be done
by the legislatures of the States. The
present form of conflict in out country
is between associated labor and : organi
zations employing it. It is not a suffi
cient answer to say that the ' profit of
labor has advanced, unless it can be
shown that the profits have moved, pari
passu, with the profits of capital ; for in
this, as in other things of comp rative
welfare, we must consider the relative
improvement. The standard of comfort
rises proportionately to the increase of
wealth in the country. Your idea of a
i ii i .t : i . I
court of arbitration I think has much to
recommend it. The organization of
such court so as to secure equally the
confidence of both contending -parties
would reanire both liberalitv and dis
cretion, and it wonld be needful that its
J' cWions should be based on something
like a co-operative principle Of indua
.-111 ' -1 ? 1 f .1 :
could be established the welfare and
contentment of both would seem to be
the possible result. With sincere re
gard and the best wishes for ydu and
yours, I am your friend, ' i

From a Paris Letter to the London
Truth. 4 1 ; ;
Does the modern woman of fashion
believe that there is one man in ten
thousand who knows lh difference or
can appreciate the relative Value of a
gown that has cost 200 or 50 guineas ?
Women may dress to please themselves,
or to cut out other women, or to fasci
nate the men, but they make. a desper
ate mistake if they imagine that they
secure the favor of one man by their
peacock vanity. The- extravagantly
dressed women of society is the over
dressed woman. It is the privilege of
English women to burlesque 'the out
rageous designs of modern Paris. The
costume of modern Paris, with no Eu
genie to direct it, is monstrous and
hideous enough; but a modern Paris
caricatured by a modern Regent-street
is simost laughable. Witness the high
hats or. bonnets smothered with flowers
and vegetables that make the wearer of
each more hideous than the '; last. J he
object of the fashionably dressed woman
is to fascinate; the result is to disgust.
There can be nothing that is really
womanlv. reallv attractive, reallv pure.
or approximately noble in one of these
fantastic popinjays, who, in , these des
peraie times, wnue weir ; suiers are
starving around them, cover their bodies
with clothes whose cost does not atone
for their hideousness, and ' who know
each morning when they rise, and each
night when they go to rest, that they are
as unable to pay for their frivolity as the
saddened wretch who, maddened with
hunger, steals a loaf or fingers the till.
and goes to prison for a crime not half
so morally reckless as the one that
women of education commit -and women
of acuteness foster..

Ever since the day succeeding the re
port of the ways and means committee
on the tariff question a rumor has been
current to the effect that the President
approved of the Morrison bill and was
usintr his influence amonar members of
Conirress to secure its nasaa in th
Housed The statement is now verified
bv the admissions of several Conrreaa.
" ...
men . .hven Mr. Randall acknowledges
its truthfulness in an interview with-
Maj. Carson, the Washington corres
pondent of the Philadelphia Ledger.
Mr. Cleveland, takes the position that
the democratic party is committed to a
revision of the tariff, and he thinks the
democratic House should pass the Mor
rison bill during the present session
His attitude on this question is likely to
have great weight with many doubtful
members and to secure favorable action
on the bill. That it will be defeated in
the republican Senate is a probability
With which the democrats of the House
have nothing to do, after they have ful-
miea tne promises to tbe people made
in the national conventions of 1876.
1880 and 1884.

report at all. Hon. J. W. Daniel, one
of the members of the committee, has

POWDXRLY AND POLITICS.
Statesmen have this week been "siz
ing, up grand master workman Powderly,
of the Knights of Labor. By his atti
tude and general bearing, and through
his testimony before the Congressional
arbitration committee, he has produced
a most favorable impression upon all
with whom he came in contact. He is
a very intelligent man as well as a
"master workman," and ho i a sterling
Democrat. It seems to be .generally
agreed that he will be the Democratic
candidate for governor of Pennsylvania
this fall, and black Republican State
though it has been, even Republicans
believe that Powderly could be elected
Why, they are already talking about
this man for President in 1888. and if
he should be elected governor of Penn
sylvania his candidacy would be some
thing not to be sneered at. What read
er of the Maws and Ubskrvir ever
thought t Cleveland would be President
three years before he became such ? But
Mr. Powderly's aspirations do not soar
so high, and, whatever the possibilities
may be, there is no probability, accord
ing to Mr. Powderly himself, of such
candidacy, either before the convention
or the people. In fact, he is not in pol
itics as a business, he says ; but it is

Bemarkaatle Discovery- at Warai

Prof. J. N. Tiernan sends the follow
ing important information about a most
important subject :
Waxm Spkinos, N. C, AprU 22, 8o
In exoavating for the pool baths, fif
teen feet below tbe surface was discov
ered a very interesting formation a
cavity of unknown depth, several feet
in diameter, which is capped over with
the limestone formation. From the bot
tom of this fissure, or crater, flows the
hot water which sparkles like diamonds
near the surface, Owing to the gas es
caping, the waters boiling up in im
mense -quantity from this nssure, and is
from 110 to 115 degrees (Fah.) of beat.
This discovery makes known the source
of the warm, or rather hereafter hot
springs. The cavity has been thorough
ly sounded and no bottom found . ) .

least in such a way that the inhabitants
of towns in the exposed districts may b
on the look-out for the approach of the
dreaded funnel-cloud. The reports stab-
that in the open country there was little
loss of life, as the storms came Dy aay,
and persons generally saw them in time
to take refuge in the tornado-cefiara witn
which nearly every iarm in mat region

persons remain more in-doors, and where

Balelffb's Trade. ' - "
; It is a cause of congratulation that
trade here holds up so well and has in
creased as compared with last
yeas. This is the , testimony j of
merchants in all departments of busi
ness. Inquiries art the depots reveal
the fact that the frieght receipts are
much larger then last spring: The in
crease of the tobacco business is of course
remarkable and this has had a happy
effect upon all other branches of busi
ness. Although the cotton receipts
have fallen off as compared with those
of last season, yet the loss was mainly
in the fill ; for since spring began there
has been a notable increase as compared
with this time -last year. It is thought
by many that the total receipts this
season will very nearly approximate
those of last. Raleigh has certainly
every reason to be pleased with the busi
ness condition in what are notably dull
times in all parts of the country. The
industries here are successful, and none
of the manufactories are complaining of
. . mar 1 1 1 1 Ja
hard times wucn Duuaing oi
all kinds is in progress, j as a visit
too any part of the city will
plainly show. There are a number of
new enterprises projected, and in the
next six months Raleigh's industries
will unquestionably be inc.-eased largely.
The attention of people of other States has
been specially attracted to Haleigh, and
much outside capital will be invested
here. Raleigh has many special advan
tages as to location, which commend it.
The freight facilities are excellent, as
truck farmers and grape, berry and fruit
growers have discovered. A cannery
will be established, it is stated, to work
up the large surplus supply of fruit and
vegetables. The outlook is very grati
fying indeed, and gives special satisfac
tion to business men. : i
