SAT?BDAY EVENING, APRIL 4,
A 8TBIK8is dow io progress at the Locc
nntivd works in Richmond. Tho proprie?
tors insist upon oonduoting their own busi?
ness in their own waj; the strikers upon
conduotiog it theirs. Toe former being rich
can live without doing business; tb.9 latter
belog poor cannot 'iva without work. No
bod? denies that the strikers have the right
to stop work; no reas.mable man denies that
ths proprietors have the right to stop busi?
ness. But that the former are the sufferers is
made eo plain that tbo?e who run may read
by the following item from the local column;
of tin Richmond Dispatch :
"Yesterday morning a woman viFitod the Sec?
ond pr/ice station and said to tho officers in chargo
rhu she vi as tho ? i'o o? one of tho s-rikors and
was suffering fc r bread. Her husbend, she con?
tinued, ?1 r? w $50 Satardiy and gavo hor all of it
except $11, tun on Tuesday took the last cent
from her, and hid been drinking ever since. Thiy
routed looms, she said, and cwing to hor hus?
band's couduct bad received orders to nnvc. Sbo
wanted to know whether tho conld sell her furni?
ture to get money to buy something to oat with."
Wise workmen secure other employment
be.'cra they abandon that in which they aro
?engaged.
Thk G&vsbnob of Nebraska has vetoed
a bill paFsed by the legislature to reduce
railroad fares and freight charges in tbat
Bift^p. The railroad employees in that State,
whot-a wages would ba^o riec?sparily been
reduced by the bill, as railroad companies
?irnot t-Uord to do a loelrg business, have
not cr>!y endorsed the Governor's action,
bu\ what is more, have proposed a union of
nil the railroad hands in the oountry, to re?
sist the attempts of the Farmers' Alliance
to redGce their wages by redujing railrord
chs-ge?. When a legislature or the Con?
gress attempts to interfere with the business
of the people it treads upon dangerous
ground. Th*re are fo many different in
?er?"?ts in biieities} that euch interference
<t!in Lardly b? allerupted without causing
"Gale of ihcm to clash. There are not bp
dirny railroad emt.loyeffl as members of the
Farmer?' Alliance, bui, for all that, the vote
of the former would be no small factor in
determining the result of an election at
whioh (he latti r bed a ticket of their own.
Thk facilities possessed by Alexandria
for the successful prosecution of theoannirg,
iinsprving and pickilng bueinees are not
excelled by those of any other oity in tbe
country. Rverv tmioie u*ed in such busi?
ng can be obtained here iu unlimited
quantities and at the lowest rates, tbe labor
required i-< b!so abundant and cheap, and
the neceeB?ry bnlldingr, with railroad trackn
one nde sr id wharven on tbe other, can be
rented for the amount of tbe laxes on them.
Tbat there would be no lack of rtw material
1* msdj patent by the fact that the eource
of supply would not be cot li led to the coun?
try inimeda'ely around tbe city, ample a?
that in, bat be ex ended to that on both sides
of tbo river from here to its mouth, and be
f-uppltmer-ted by tbe surplus of the Wxsh
it gton roarkf!.
Thk New York Herald speakbg in ref?
erence to the selection of tbo next demo
cratic Frefhiorjlial^norninee, says:
''In tho Fo'ection of a candidate tho controlling
consideration will ba as it has always b?en. avail
ability. This h capocUlly tmo of Now York. It
i? idio te-talk of any man who can't carry the
State. Polite? is not a nia'tor of sentiment or
personality, hut c I" success. Party loadors play to
win, and tho man who can show tho mo;t poiiti
od strength is tha man most likely to win with."
It is tho policy here luid down tbat will
be pursued by tha next national democratic
convention, and as the Hill and Cleveland
men in Naw Y.-rk threaten to "knife" each
oiher'fcs favorite, tbe convention will proba
b'y ssy "plague upon both your houses" and
select a mi\n from Borne other 8tate upon
whom bo;h "bp Now York factions can unite.
Ik thk Farmers' Aulaooe would agitate
for low tariff and improvement cf country
roads, iriRtcad cf for sub treaeutlos, free sil?
ver, and other incidents of paternal govern?
ment, their agitation would oot only be
more elective, but would redound intici:e
iy more to their own individual interests.

The Italian Affair
As staled in the Gazette Secretary Blaice
yesterday morning received the reply of the
Itaiian government to his note of Wednes
day evening. It eeems tbat this communi*
cation, addressed and sent fo Marquis Im?
perial as being ia charge of the legaticn
was cabled at occa to Borne. Maqais
Rudini replied Thursday night by cable, ad?
dressing his note to Marquis Imperial), with
instructions to hand it to Mr. Blaine. This
was done yesterday morning, and the dccc
ment, which was in Italian, was sent at once
over to tbe S afe Department to be trans?
lated. Tbe Secretary Fpect the morning at
his house,and waited there uotll^the letter
bad betn translated and a copy of it had
been sent, together with the oiiginal, back
to him, Then, taking the documents, he
walked ovpr to the White House, where tbe
cabinet bad been in sest-ion fcr nearly an
1 hoar. Tbe dispatch from the Marquis Ru
dini, the Italian premier, the substance of
which has already been published in the Ga
zsttk, was laid before the cabinet by Secre?
tary Blaine and discussed for a tim?. Later
the Secretary said that he wou'd not be able
to give out anything for publication that
day. So tbe exact text of tho Maiquis's
note remaios a secret, and it ia regarded as
probable tbat it will not be made public un?
til tbe Secretary has prepared his reply. It
is ea'd that tbe President, and his advisere
are are very much gratified over the receipt
of the last message from Premier de Rudini,
which was a BUljeet of consideration at the
cabinet meeting yeeterday. They are inclined
to thick tbat it indicates an early settle?
ment of tbe diplcmatlc war.
From wha has transpired of the contents
of tbe note of the Marquis Rudini, the in
fererjce seems positive that he has m'scoa
celved the position of this government on
the sut j ;ct of Indemnity. This ralscone-t
(ion is undoubtedly due in a large measure
to the very broad and unguarded language
employed by the minister at Rome, Mr.
Porte*. According to the Rome diapatcheH
Mr. Porter seems, In the hope of getting the
Italian ministry in a good humor, to have
promised almost everything. It may take
several more notes from Mr. Blaine before
tbe Italian government can arrive at an ade?
quate understanding cf the position held by
tbe Seoielary.
Current opinion in London is set'irgmore
steadily against tbe action of the Marquis dl
Rudini in trying to force the hend of Mr.
Bliine In tho matter of the lynching of I al
Ians in New Oceans.
Tbe Economist doubts whether the action
of t'&ly wilt impel the Washington states?
men to alter their course or engsge in tbe
interminable task of medtfying their cotn
p'ex constitution. It says : "The Marquis
di Radini and h b government are in a oul
de sec. Toey cannot sit siill, ibey cannot
fight, and they cannot obtain tbe redress I hey
want without fighting. Laly'a allies wlli
never permit her to risk a war rhat wou'd
disturb European combinations. TheUaitid
States holds the exceptional position that it
cannot be conquered by any power or prr b
able combination of powers, even if all En
rope was allied and made the?tiempf. ha<
the United States also cannot conquer any
great power. Yet i' tbe Uolted State? con?
tinues to claim exempting frcm pressing in?
ternational obligations, its position will not
be enpporied without new International
!a? s ar a recourse to war to obtain racd.flca
tions." In lbs London clubs there is a ru
mot tbat Premier di Rudini wiii ask Lord
Salisbury to act as mediator.
