His VUwi est XBr qstta. 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 oignedj JzryiBsoit Davis.' VataUtv ta Wm 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..

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.

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 believed he would accept the nomina tion for governor of Pennsylvania A large number of Washington 'sports" went down to Norfolk this week to witness's cocking main between Washington and Worth Carolina birds.

' - " ; 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 Funeral af Hr. E. F.
