The San Antonio Herald is not op-
posed to railroads, but can not dismiss
q lingering love for the good old days
of the stage coach, a passion revived by
a late ride of the editor from Austin

"a trip that the Herald commends to
others:
Throughout the journey, with the
Colorado Mountains on the right, and
rolling plain and streams and valleys
all around. nature is continually pre-

In Memory Of Allie ORcar

Gone home But not 10 waiting friends
Whose tears brook no control,
The coffin bears 10 them her clay,
But not her deathlsss soul.
From earthly pain her spirit freed,
Is now a happy guest,
Where tears Of parting never flow;
She now has rest. sweet rest;
The smile Of hope she wore in death,
Will shine resplendant there;
The heavenly voice, SO rich and sweet,
will thrill sinless choir.
strew flowers bright upon her grave,
Go there, loved ones, 10 pray;
Nay heaven console you vita the thought'
Her spirit was not clay.
She has gone home, ye weeping ones,
Gone home no more TO die;
She only crossed the River first,
We follow by AMI by.

The New York Tribune las the
following:
Mr.. Mills, Of Texas, continues TO
talk with reckless abandon about the
;nnposibility of renominating Tilden.
He tells reporter of the Washing
ION Post that the people of the south
have no confidence in Tilden, because
fiey lost the presidency through his
weakness; that that they fear he would
be quilted out of it again" if elected;
tina. his nomination would split the
party all to peices: that he would be a
dead body tied to the party. and the
way to stop the mischief is to speak
right out now" The man whom Mills
thinks the south would like is Hen
d ticks, though Thurman woull suit
very we'll. The southern people want
q man to defend his rights, and not a
played out.out old man like Tilden."
Just you be calm, Mr.. Mills, till that
"oid man" gets hall so played out" as
you are. There is a squall en- your

The English Cotton Strike.

The latest reports from England indicate
that the great cotton strike is nearly at an
end. The Oldham operatives have come to
the terms offered by the mill masters, and in
the Lancashire districts disturbances have
ceased. A settlement of the difficulty is
greatly to be desired, for its long continuance
will bring sharp distress upon the operatives.
They seem to have followed in their course
the strikers of 1854, and hoped like them to
compel the great manufacturers to yield.
But they neglected to take into account the
entire change of conditions. In 1864 there
was an eager demand for cotton goods, and a
serious reduction in the quantity Of the raw
material occasioned by our civil war. When
ever manufacturer could get cargo of
cotton he was willing 10 pay an extraor-
dinary price for its manufacture into cloth,
for on every yard Of that cloth he could make
an extraordinary profit. The only difficulty
was the inadequate supply of material. This
brought about many id!e hours and much
suffering, The loss to the mill hands during
the ''cotton famine" is estimated as high as
sixty million dollars.
Now however the case is quite different. The
difficulty is not the scarcity of raw material
but the over-production of manufactured
stufs. The mill owners have on hand a
great quantity of cotton fabrics which they
cannot dispose of at the price it cost to produce
them. America has stepped into the market a,
manufacturer and is no longer buyer. We
have not only supplied our home demand
but have sent many goods abroad. The de-
mand for English fabrics has declined and

the prices have fallen. 1t is no longer posi-
BILE to pay the old prices for manufacture and
sell at profit. Large stocks, not to be easi.
ly disposed of, have accumulated. Under
these circumstances, in view of diminish
ing demand and falling prices the
English manufacturers insisted upon
a reduction of ten per cent. in wages or
the closing of the mills. The operatives de-
clined to submit to the cut.down, and the
lockout began. 1t is altogether probable
that the mill-owners preferred strike to a
continuance of labor at reduced wages, for the
cessation of production enables them to rid
themselves OF their accumulated stocks at ad-
vanced rates. They can easily wait the time
until their surplus goods are disposed of, and
then if necessary increase wages and set the
mills in operation again. But the operatives
cannot afford to wait. Idleness means to
them want aud distress. Ignoring the fact
OF the large stocks on hand they believed that
shutting down OF the mills would speedily
bring their employers to terms, aud that they
could repeat the experience of 1864. They
seem now to have perceived their mistake
and are very generally returning to work
at the reduced prices. There was, indeed,
no alternative. 1t was work or starvation {;
and they have wisely though tardiy come to
the conclusion that half loaf is better than
noloaf at all.

SECRETARY EvARTs takes the same
ground in relation to the fishery award as
did Senator Blaine, showing the injustice of
the decision in the manner in which it was
rendered under the treaty and the utter dis
proportion of the award which this Govern
ment is called upon to pay for the privileges
secured. Congress will very probably adopt
the suggestion of Mr.. Evarts in making an
appropriation to meet our obligations under
the treaty, at the same time calling the atten-
tion of the British Government to the nom
conformity OF the award to the facts of the
case. The Chairman of the Senate Commit
tee quite agrees with Mr.. Evarts that the
questions between the two countries are of
much more serious import than the present
money payment involved. 1t is very evident
that If the treaty did not require the award
to be paid before the middle of November
next the whole subject would be put over till
next session.
