THE STRIKES. 1 l en ve taw tLat the Chicago . . . .1 Brterhoo Xocomotive Eogin- etrs a.d finally decided to abandon their g position to the effect that the '"Broilipibood thould not handle the cars f tl e Cl icago, Burjington ftnd Quiagy road, we hoped! the strike was 5ractica lv over, but this action was CJiowcd by a strike of switchmen at Clcago, und this by a riot which has ld to the series of complications of wiich we h ive new today iind whic B-cm to inJicite a long jwid debpw-atfl fatrugglt). Tuft riot occurred Thurs day I and was between 'the atrikig switchmen and their sympa thize and men who had replaced them As the story goes it took pltcwat 4:30 o'clock in the afternoon, wbet a Rwitch er,pn" sr.d ifs rfew cars o fun :ia: LMo :Lo Nortbfes tern oad. A crowd tf switchmen of o'ber roads were about the place, and . - ! : ' ! -i brgan to jeer at new men on a "Q" engine, j When the train reached a certain point it ran off a switch that had been turned, and a number of c s were ditched. The mob then set upon the crew of the en sine and the train, and the fireman and engine etr took to their heels, getting nu merous jcuffs as they escaped. The switchmen who had been engaged in place of the strikers followed suit, ftbd were pursued and roughly usrul by the crowd, which was made up of the toughest kind of men. Six or tight Pinkerton detectives, who had been employed to look after the in terests of the roads, were disarmed and beaten, and a division superin tendent of the Burlington road, who was on the freight train,' was also badly used up. . The riot created great ex citement and Pinkierten mf.n and police flocked to the 'opeo. The niob quickly deeper6ed, however, auk only one man was arrested wul am Quirk.; He was a Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul switchman and his ar rest precipitated a strike of 174 switchmen, twenty-eight eDgin6ersJ,elected I'rfc&ident of the Senate, thus and twenty-eight firemen on the St. Paul road. A crowd followed him to the station house and endeavored to get him released. Numerous offers of bail were made. Eight thousand dollars surety for his appearance was offered, but he was. locked up. When it was Tealized tat he had to remain in the police station, the St. Paul men in their rage decided to strike, and imme diately deserted their engines. The whole yard force of swi'chmen, en gineers and firemen, 22T in all, quit Work, leaving 28 engines standing on the tracks. ; Quirk was subsequently released through the efforts of St. Paul of ficials; but the railroad authorities insisted that the wrecked train should be put back on the track as a sine qua non 'of any disposition on the part of the roads to treat with the men on strike and this test of fealty would not be submitted to. The re sult is what is detailed in our dis- fatches this morning and there is no nowing how for the disaffection will extend before it can be turned into the channels of reason and prudence. Meantime the utterly destructive ef fect on trade and comraeroe of such a mistake is beyond estimate a1 so. : Oxvobd's jubilation on the 18th of April over the completion of the Ox ford & Clarkeville Railroad will be a fine, large, handsome affair indeed. According to the invitations sent out "one hundred of the financial giants, of New York, Baltimore and Rich mond" will come "in special palace cars to visit the home and nursery cf golden tobacco' a very wonder land," there will be an "immense processicn and trades display," and a "free bar becue to feed the thousands" will be provided. Gov. Scales, Got. Lee, of Virginia, Hon. D. G.' Fowle end other distinguished gentlemen will apeak. It will be a veiy interesting occasion, indeed, and we trust there will be a great number of people on hand to enjoy it with our friends of the Granville capital. erBBUATOaiAl. POSSIBILITIES. r COL. K. T. AKMFIILD. i XI. The importance of the issue about to be joined in North Carolina can not be overestimated. The gravest consequences ma; fol low an adverse result of the coming campaign. And the future is full of doubt. That influences have been at work to weaken the hold of the Democrat ic party is openly alleged, and it is un derstood that a feeling of unrest and dissatisfaction exists in those sec tions where the people hoped that the incoming of a Democratic - adminis tration would be signalized by the repeal of the Internal Revenue sys tem. In other sections perhaps other influences tend in the same direction. Under the circumstances our hope of success lies in a great campaign -one that will arouse t he people to a sense of :eril and bring to the public mind; a full realization of the evils that would inevitably attend a res 'or ation of radicalism to the control cf State administration It is needed that the people should realize what is at stake; that all which has been accomplished during the period of Democratic ascGndency is threatened; that what h-s been dono to promote education, to quiet race prejudices, to develop our resources and to maintain quiet and content ment throughout the State is now ia danger of being undone; and that these measures upon which rest the happiness, the welfare and the proper- oi an classes oi citizens are again at rit-k. ' For more than ten years we have had' here at home an era of good feeling between the races during whica there has been a happy advancement of the tost interests of the neoDle. All this is now in jeopardy, for if the radicals shall regain control, the hands of the clock will be turned backward, and the progress of an in dustrial development will suffer a severe and d sostrous check. It is not then merely party success that is involved, but the h gbest wel faie bf the people is in the balance. So much depending on tha resnlt, it behooves the Democratic party to ig nore the claims of this section or that, and to look all over the State for the best man in North Carolina to a sure success. Abroad patriotism, as broad as the limits of the State, is invoked. We must have a lealer who cau pluck the flower safety from the nettle danger. i The hope of the State is found in the devotion of the eastern Demo- crrts and in a grand rally of the white men of the west. The victory must be won in the counties where,the negroes being few, great white ma jorities can be rolled up to overcome the nf gro majorities in the Republi can strongholds of the negro coun ties To arouse the people of tbe Wf.nt and to 6olidify the whitw votes of the Pitdmeut section no other name is so potent as that of Robert F. Armfield. An eloquent Orator, a tried statesman, a popular favorite and the trusted leader of the western section, he can aioute the W6st into a tidal wave of popular enthusiasm and : submerge all a&piring independents and those detestable disorganizes who have been lured by ambitious projects into the rank of the ; Republican party. His evt rv sympathy has been manifested for the East is all the measures of the pas aid Ur eastern Democrats will give h:m as generous and warm a support as any of her own favorite sons. A practiced debater, he would measure sWords with "my son Oliver" and not hi tho first t o cry "Hold, enough." He ia more than a match for any ii.an who can be brought gainst him. Full of sympathy for tiie people arid ever an advocate of measures near to the popular heart, he would attract a support that wou' ' be triumphant over all opposition. Col. Arriifield was born in Guilford county in 1823, and was educated at Tiinitr. oon after attaining man hood he entered on the practice of the law, in which he speedily attained eminence, and which he has followed with unusual success in all the coun ties of the) west accessible to States ville, where he resides. . During the war he was Lifulenact Colonel of the 38th North Carolina regiment - and displayed gallantry and intropidity alike creditable to himself and honorable to the K ate. While he has not 6erved the poople often in a representative capacity, be was State Senator in 1875, and was succeeding Leu tenant uovernor Brog'len, who had by tho death of Governor L'aldwtil bi ccma Governor of the State. Iu 1878 he was elected to Congress, where he lock a high stand among the Democrat c leaders from the South, through his ability, sagacity and unwavering devotion to Demo cratic principles. His voice was ever heard in behalf of pure and unadul terated Democracy, for, being a Con stitutional lawyer of tare exoelleuce, he appIieH the Constitution of the Union as tho chief test of correct po litical principles. Col. Armfield, although actively en gaged in ; a laborious practice, has never fi ailed to manifest an ardent support of h'E party, and no campaign passes without his urging voice be ing heard in advocacy of its platform and nominees. He is a devoted par ty maD, throwing all his force in every contest on the side of rgbt and justice. And always with effect. Largely ' imbued with these quali ties that bring public men near to the popular heart, he never faila to find the; repponsive chord in the crowds tbaf tlock to hear him aud e mov68 them, fo thoroughly that he puts to rout all opposi ion. He cap tivates his audiences and carries them along with him by the power of his oratory, j No mah can sway the Democ ats of the western country mere potently than he; no man cau more effectually rally the whites of the western coun ties mora enthusiastically than he; no man can do more than he to assure the success of the party at this crisis, when the: fate of tho national admin istmtion , as well as the control of State affairs depends on our polling a full vote. With a large experience, with fine administrative ability, and a thorough acquaintance with all mat ters connected with Slate affair?, he would fill the ofEce of Governor with great tceeptability and advantage to the people of the State.

I belong to a Guild here and we h ave to make some money for that, but I will try and eend seme more money sometimes, to help with the Cot. I think it Will be so nice 4o holp some little sick children. ." Thanks, Maid Margerv. You ars a long way off, truly. I am afraid I must confess that I do not know your grandmother, which, no doubt, is a great loss, siDce all the grandmothers I do know are especially nice 1 The fifcpney is better invested now than it would have been iu the show. Yep, it is "nice to help little children." ".for inasmuch as ye did it uotb one of the l&iit of these, My brethren, ve did it unto Me." 3 Next; comes my little Bragassa children: "Dear Aunt Beckie: I am rather tardy today, but better lalo than never. Your kind welcome to join your little band ma ;e u chil dren very happy. So j cu will find enclosed 10 cents for invsnlf unH Louie says he must have 10 cents, too, as Le earns more than five mind ing the baby.

With much love to you, your tjttle friends, the Bravassa chilcTrem" , And very nice children they teem to be, too; I am very glad you belong to 118. It e next money c me ( o nio through a lot'er forwarded by the chaplain of St. John's I made an extract, not being sure tbat it was meant for pub lication: "For several years my lit tle boys have been trying to hep n dow the Bishop Atkinson Cot in your hospital. The enclosed $2 50 is for that purpose. If you still publ sh acknowledgements let this be (as formerly in the Church Messeng3r) T i memory of little Ludwell J. liom his brothers." In the Ichaplaia's letter I find this: "I have just made the calculation and find that during 1887 we had fifty patients, and cai ed for them 22 30 days. This shows he need of the hospital and the good work it is doing." Now children think ! If the bos pi tal was not kept up what would have become of that half hundred poor Bick people I Don't you see at a glance how much it is needed and what a good work it does ? The next letter came from a dear little cousin at "Glendower Hall," down in Bertie, the native county of my great grand father the Hon. John l'ugh Wiil arcs. "lear Aunt lieckU: I send you to day 50 cents for the Cot, in memory of my little cousins Ethel and Mar garet Norfleet. I am but five years old, but I love the Church. I am Borry this is all I can give you now, but I will send you some more when I can get it. Send me your photo graph. I want to see my d ii rAuat Beckie." Ah Willie, bonny maidie, you are dearly welcome. My hf at warms to my Pugh and Williams blood. The photograph, alas, I cannot send you, because I have none ! But you don'Mose much. East and West to they coaie . "Mount Stirling" people this time "Dear Aunt Beckie. Enclosed please find $1. 'Tifty omts Mary sends f r herself and the other fifty fo? her two little nephews, Richmond and Jocelyn Blackmer, of Salisbury. Richmond is the older of the two, and I hope the Cot wi'l be endowed long before they are large enough to work for it themselves. ' I have to write to Mary this time, as she is sick with roseo'a. We had hoped to send you some of our beautiful hyacinths, but 'Jack Frost' has laid them low. With best love from us both." Tell Mary I bad roseola, too, when I was ascLool girl, just about this time of year, and was boused for two weeks. So I ran sympathize. 1 am ko sorry about the hyacinths ! Jack Frs: has done a vast deal of destruction among the flowers '.hia spring, as the brown wreck of our japonica can testify. Hire comes the first volunteer for the Anti-Slang League and glad am I to welcome her,too. "Dear Aunt Beckie: I read your letter in the Sunday News An Ob sebvxb, end I would like to join the Anti-Slang League, end all I can earn that way I will Bend you for the Cot. I am eleven years old. I earn some money making cake for mamma on Saturdays, and some for attend ing to the piano. I send you 10 cents for the Cot. As I am paying 10 cents a month to the hospital tha. is all I can do just now" . I think you do very well, Mabel, to do so much. You are the first Anti Slang Leaguer, and I hope you are number one of a large company all of my children, in fact. Do jou make nice cake, my little confectioner? The next letter must not be, put in print, but I was glad lo welcome the writer once more into ranks, and hope this is but one of many letters I shall have from her. The last came frcm the Clinton Sunday School clap, from whom we heard once before. "Deab Miss Camebon: Enclosed you will find $3.00, a second contribution from my Sunday School clas to 'Tbe Memor-al Cot.' The boys made their money by sweeping out their school for their teacher, and the lit tle girls sold flowers to get their moiney. The little ones are much in terrsted in the Cot, but they have had some other work on hand this Lenten season, consequently their contribution is not as large ao tbny would otherwise have made it. The children join me in love and hearty good wishes. Verj truly yours," You have very faithful chi1 -dren, dear madam, and your pleasant letters are always welcome.
