TIm return of the Republican party loto kAWat Im frllat BA V aAnMMU al'tl aa at a A working ma rlty, naturally revives the well-worn issue of reducing southern rep ' rssentatloa In that body. Whether there la an j need (or tbti alarm on the part of Democrat or not. time will tell, but we ; venture the opinion that no bill will pass that body reducing the number ot ' representatives from those etatee In the tooth that have made commendable effort to purify the political eltnation ' by doing away with the negro vote. All bills or resolutions looking to that will have for their object the fooling ot the negro vote In ' the ' northern etatee where It le most vatuable to the Repnb . lican party. The restricting ot the euff rage bvtbe constitutional amendment, which causes these make believe effort to curtail southern representation, Is, as It no w stands part of the organic la w of the state in which It exists, and as 'that ' law debars no cltlwn from the elective raochlse absolutely, but nvrel make It obligatory on the candidate fur the elec tive franchise to meet the requirement of the law, no ease will obtain against these state for cutting; off illegally any man front the right of iffrage, Of coursa if the southern states hare to elect bwtweea the negro aud less rep resentation in congress, there will be no hesitation a to which it shall be. Along . this line the Wilmington Star properly ays!' There len't one of them now who if he poke houextly would not admit that What the white men of the south have done in the matur of restrtctlDgsuffrage. has been wisely and well done, aud that doing It has preserved the eouth from ruin and pat her on the secure founda tion on wtilch she now 1. The eouthern people are not going to take any chaucee ot going through the ordeal they have (rone through, by recognising negro po litical equality. They wlU adhere to the course they have adopted, and maintain white aunremacv at aov cost, reduced representation or no reduced representa tion., , , - ' Truly Is this S3. The people of North Carolina especially remember the strug gle through which we passed to reach our position of comparative safety, and though the task was a herculean one, requiring men ot heroic spirit to accom plish, w feel that It were a prise well worth the candle and one that Is so well appreciated by us that we will not give It up easily. As for cutting down southern repreaen tatloa In congress, 'tie but a bluff of the the soD-throwlnir department of ths 0. 0. P. and need frighten no one. "The time has come for union men to throw - away their guns and clubs and to use (heir noble Ideas of union for mutual .betterment .for unity of action, for the dlffu. sJcn of lntcingence." By Rev. Dr. NEWELL 0WIGHT HUMS of Brootyi yVERY SENSIBLE MAN BELIEVES IN CAPITAL AND ITS HONEST COMBINATION, AND EVERY 8EN8IBLE MAN BELIEVES IN NOT SIMPLY THE RIGHT OF LABOR TO ORGANIZE, BUT ITS DUTY IN THE ' IN TEREST OF SELF DEFENSE AGAINST OPPRESSIVE EMPLOYERS. ' , . , And the history of trades unionism, its gain in wages, the lessening of the hours of labor, its gains in intelligence and the character of many of its leaders have justified and vindi cated the Jabor movement But the nonunion men, who represent 80 per cent of the trades, whose sons are forbidden the right to be come apprentices and whose wrongs are above all 'other wrongs whatsoever, justify a plea. , - How it stirs wdnder that it is necessary to justify, the non union man's right to refuse to join a union. DIFFER OX EVERTTIIIXG ELSB. WHY MAY THEY NOT HAVE THE ; RIGHT TO DIFFER AS TO ORGANIZED LABOR? The union man has a right to decide how many hours he will work and at what wage he will work. J THE NONUNION MAN HAS A RIGHT TO DELIBERATELY CON SIDER THE REASONS FOR THE UNION AND ALSO TO REFUSE TO JOIN IT IN HIS OWN HAPPINESS AND WELFARE. For every twenty union men and their families there are eighty ' nonunion men with their families. These laboring' men may hate; capitalists, BUT LABOR'S HATRED FOR LABOR BURNS LIKE . A FLAME, EATS LIKE NITRIC ACID, is malignant beyond all description. S ? 1 . Pitiful is the condition of the nonunion men in the anthracite region in that region mere are z,uuu men wno nave oeen wont-, ing, or trying to work. Now the rich operators have deserted them. ;Yet these nonunion men are chiefly American. They have families, they have homes. They have something at stake. .They wanted to work; they may have been foolish and mistaken, but they had a to live. . If the union men should say, "We do honest work, we ask an t honest wage, we want our share of the products of our labor, and:-. we appeal to the sense of justice and fair play in our fellows; we will not kill nor permit killing; we forswear the club and the fire brand and the boycott; we stand on the constitution and appeal to the laws of the bind," from that hour all nonunion men would be come union nlen as well as patriots and citizens. And public opinion would make labor invincible.

I have been out In Kansas recently on a lecture tour, and the state of things political out there positively beg gars description. The Republicans are always yawping a groat yawp to bor- rdw an expression from I Wa It Whit man about the great Villainy and In curable inhumanity of Democrats down south disfranchising the negroes, ' Nev ertheless right in Bleeding I Kansas, where old John Browu'a soul still goes marching on, they have a ballot law that is a greater outrage and swindle than any perpetrated by Democrats, southern or northern, eastern or west ern, since the world began. Without that law the Kansas delegation in the next house would have been entirely fusion Instead of entirely Republican. Verily, verily, very much depends on whose ox la gored! The Prize Ass. . . . , , It can be said with absolute cer tainty that the breed of fools is not ex tinct since Peter Arlund of Louisville, Ky., still lives Peter Arlund, whose descriptio personae, According to bis own story,: Is "a soldier lieutenant ma rlne officer of the Danish army, Den irurk." . It may be safely asserted that when It cornea to idiocy Mr, "Soldier Lieutenant Marine Officer In the Dan ish Army of Denmark" Arluud's leads ! all the re at, as did that of Abou Ben Adhem's on a certain celebrated occa sion. ' ? Mr. Arlund assaulted the ex-tobacco ttagnate, Moses C. -Wetmore, Esq sometimes called "colonel" and famil iarly addressed by ex -Governor Stone as "Mose," which familiarity has prob ably been Worth a quarter million dol lars to Stone, The, fell deed was done tn the lobby of tbe Planters' House, St liOuls, where Mose stops permanently and where Arlund was stopping tern porariry. ' Mr. Wetmore. Stone's be loved and profitable Mose, was not much hart by the impact with Arlund's first, just a few abrasions of the skin of his face about tbe size of the Star plug which Mose for years sold to the public and then sold 'to tbe trust at a large profit Wetmore's huge bulk saved ' him. Like-' the- unfortunate Front de Bo?ff, of whom : good Sir Walter tells us in "Ivanhoe and like the fortunate boiler, maker, James J. Jeffries, of whom all current penny a liners tike to write, Mose is a man of vast proportions, a tremendous taber nacle of flesh and blood and bones. The reason why, tbe Louisville prise Idiot swatted Mose was the alleged fact that' Mose bad insulted an al leged Mrs. Arlund.' the alleged wife of the said Peter, "the soldier marine offi cer of the Danish army of Denmark.' By.the way. where the deuce ia there '.Danish' army except In Denmark T And there Is not much of a one even there, where Hamlet once cut such fantastic capers - before high, Jieaven and sundry other witnesses. And Mose, the swell , beloved of Stone and .who is supposed to be Stone's ."angel" ia tbe senatorial fight. would not apologias for the "alleged Insult" to "the alleged Wife" of Peter Arlund. a soldier marine officer In tbe Danish army of Denmark." V Now. it appears that the real Mrs. Arlund. the genuine article, was la Louisville, Ky. sleeping the sleep, of tbe Just about tbe hour or, to be more exact, tbe minute when her be loved spouse, Peter,' was disfiguring Governor Stone's Mose. . But all tbe foregoing, as gleaned from the public prints, does not ex plain why Arlund is the prtze ass of this age. Here Is tbe explanation: Wetmore rushed into print and with bis pen ekinned Arlund as badly as Arlund bad skinued Mose in the flesh, whereupon Arlund, "a soldier marine in the Danish army of Denmark," sent Mose a challenge to mortal combat with sword, gun or pistol. Mose has not been heard from as to tbe duel- may never be beard from on that sub ject; If -Mose accepts, that chnT.er.ce. which be la not likely to do, being. I ke Sir John Fa 1st a 7. too broad, he will be as bis n forl as Arlund, which is draw- - In ? It r .t". r strong. Tte livs cf ' i::.-ot:ri raUe it a : -y t : '. a (.'

In the most public manner L e., by sending bis challenge to the newspapers for publication? If Arlund Is so anxious to shoot, cut or stab somebody, why doesn't he sally forth from bis castle or flat whichever he inhabits and remark that be is out t of , gore ? He would not have to re mark It more than once or above his breath.. He would not have to waste half as many words as did Marmlon In the celebrated adlos to the owner of Tantalon's towers. He wouldn't have to shake his gauntlet at Colonel Henri Watterson more than once before the colonel would send a bullet whistling about his capacious ears, and If he said "dare" to General John B. Castleman be could not live,, breathe, move and have bia being more than ten seconds In tbe county of Jefferson and state o Kentucky. . Suppose this vainglorious idiot of an Arlund should signify .to General Basil Dnke that he wonld like to do a little bloody business with him. General John H. ; Morgan's old lieu tenant would accommodate, him "in tbe twinkling of an eye," as St; Paul would say, or in tbe shake of a sheep's tall, as the average Kentuckian would say. I name these eminent Louisvil Hans because 1 know them and honor them, but there are others. The town Is full of; them John Coulter, ex-sher iff of sweet Audrain, ' for Instance, Who wouldn't stand any monkey busi ness from Arltmd or any other idiot. unless he has experienced a change of heart since he and I went to school to gether in the days of auld lang syne. He Is a brother of "Big Zay,",I.who served with Sue Mondav and died with Quantrell at Shelby ville. Then there's Wick Petly and hundreds of others who would respond to Arlund's call for gore Instanter, et sana ceremonie, There la no necessity for Arlund. who Is' thirsting for blood, to spend , time and money by going to St Louis to chase down Moses C. Wetmore Oh. not ; lie can't stand on a street corner in Louisville, and "whistle for a griz- sly" without seeing a grizzly waddling down the street, and the chances are 100 to 1 that If Wetmore should get out Ms "Tanger" and bid defiance to Ar lund the latter would begin running and never stop till he had crossed the sea. but' Mose appears to have more money than , "sand" and will probably keep out of sight as long as Arlund Is on the warpath. ; - , , j v The proper thing for Mose to do Is to say by letter if he can't clap his eyes on bim to Arlund: vSir You know as well as I do that it Is a 'penitentiary offense to send or accept or . carry a challenge in Missouri; also to fight a duel In the state or to Jeave the state "There may be others whose cases will aggregation of talents, genius and ora atory Is managing to divide public interest with that eminent personage the crown prince of Slam. ..The scion of royalty appears to be truvclius "in foreign oarts" for pleasure and , In formation.

' Tbe strangest thing about this whole mysterious and preposterous business is that, as he alleges, Moses C. Wet more Is an American army officer and colonel of a certain regiment. Will Mr. Arlund Inform an expectant world as to what regiment Mose Is colonel of? He probably would pay iO,CO0 to be colonel of any old regiment In a time of peace, stationed not too far from the Planters' House, and wouldn't have it at any price in a time of war. ; No, no, Arlund; Mose Is only a paper colonel such, as abound in Missouri. Whether Governor W. J; S. promoted Mose to that rank I do not know. If he did, it cost the governor nothing and was a great boon to Mose.
