The Recent Railroad Strike

The recent strike on the Atchison, To.
peka and Santa Fe Railroad has been very
disastrous in its effects on members of the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers and
other railroad employees belonging to
trades unions. Like the managers of the
Reading Railroad Company, the mana
gers of the Atchison. Topeka and Santa
Fe have decided not to employ men on
their road in the future who belong to
the Brotherhood or trades unions. The
success of both these road in securing good
and competent men who 10 not belong to
any union will undoubtedly have . whole
some effect on the union men employed on
other roads. and will deter them in the fu-
ture from hastily engaging in . strike, for
any such attempt would throw them out
of employment, and force the other roads
10 take the same step taken BY the above
named lines.
The Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe
Railroad now exacts the following de.
claration and conditions from oil those
employed on the line:
l. He solemnly declares, on his word of
honor, that he is not member of any re-
cret labor or trades union, association,
brotherhood or combination and,
2. So long as he remains in the service
Of the above company, he agrees not to
become a member OF any such union, as.
ISOLATION or brotherhood, ami that he will
not JOIN in any combined attempt TO coerce
or dictate to the said company in any man
ner; and,
s. He promises and agrees to conform
to and abide by all the rules and regula-
tions rs established by the said company,
by its proper officers and Representatives,
for the control and guidance of its en-
ployes, in an Obedient and cheerful man.
ner aud,
4. He agrees TO give ten days. notice to
the said company of an intention to leave
its service, unless such notice is waived by
the said company; and,
>. In the event of a failure on his part
to give such ten days notice unless waived
by the said company, he agrees to forfeit
to the said company any and all pay or
which may be due from the
said company for past services.

SPRING
And q rev Verdant Thoughts On
It.

Oh, Spring!
You hev cum agin.
How we love thee, sunny spring-oh,
spring
In the springtime the young mans fancy
lightly turns to love-Iove to get away
from work and 20 a-6shing.
Spring is the time when Nature puts on
her clothes-and she don't slip 'em on over
her head, nuther.
Sometimes We think We could wish 1t was
always spring; then n We remember the
watermelon, We amt 90 rotten sure about 1t.
Spring is good in its way. Elections get
ripe in spring. We always like to be
around when they cut an election or open
candidate.
There's more morality in Winter and the
ice three feet thick, than there is in Spring !;
but there amt half a much fun. And Its
fun that counts.
Some fellows can't see any poetry in Ma
ture and Spring, but We never failed to ap-
preciate ham sandwich and good Bourbon
at May party yet.
In the Spring the farmer sows his seed.
And the crow that sits mile of on dead
limb knows every hill of corn BY heart.
For rs ye SOW, 80 shall We reap.
We sowed in Spring once sowed patch
on our breeches. 1t groved int rate until
night, but when We went to shuck the load,
We found the patch and the drawers had all
proved together. That's the kind of .
Granger We was.
There amt the slightest doubt but that
Spring is the youngest time of the year.
Young lambs always come in Spring, and
gamble on the green.
Mary had lam in Spring.
Spring is the time to 60 fishing, and some
people would rather 60 fishing on Sunday
than praise the Lord. Get up right early
and praise the Lord before you dig your
worms.
We would not die in Spring time-iu
fact, we've looked the almanac over keer'
fully, and hev come to the conclusion that
If there's any dying got to be done, the 3''th
Of February is our day.
There is one wholesome vegetable that
gets mellow in Spring-its buck beer
Plant it deep, or it may get frost bit.
In the Spring April showers bring forth
May flowers. We're a May flower
xxx, one hundred pounds to the sack
Spring is the time when everybody buy,
new suit of clothes-we always buy ouI
new clothes in August, when you kin gil
ten yards of linen for dollar.
People should go abroad in Spring, some
out into the fieIds-out into the woods =
out to the beer garden and look at Nature
1t is good to look at, when its fresh and
runs all over the glass.
The circus gifts ripe in Spring, and the
organ grinders are in full bloom. The
organ grinder comes from Italy, but they
grow like native in this country.
Spring and youth is the time to serve the
Lord but if We hired fellow We would
rather have full grown man on the 2lsi
day Of June, and make him work from sur
to san even unto the fourth generation.
We could tell you a heap more abou,
Spring; but the fact is we've got pow
erful sight of knowledge to spread out in
this paper. and it won't do to nut too mnrt
Yes, reader, you must learn BY expert
ence When the middle of Joone comes
you will know all about Spring, when its tot
late.
But the above hints. may help you
through.
Cut 'em out.
They have saved whole families.

Pinchback,s Views.

Mr.. Pinchback has again risen, not this
time to explain or appeal but merely to
express an opinion; which is, that the solid
democratic south will continue until 1880,
but after that date must certainly fall to
pieces. The latter result he thinks will be
accomplished by an increased republican
vote'in the northwestern states, which will
encourage the colored voters in the
southern states to renew their allegiance
to the republican party. We cannot ex-
actly see the connection between cause and
effect, and are inclined to believe that
Pinchbaek is simply amusing himself at
the sexpense of his gullable political
friends But he accompanies the Joke
with bit of sarcastic truth concerning re-
construction. which these friends ought to
consider if they cannot enjoy;
1T was the intention of the managers
that the negro should constitute the rank
and file of the party only-do the voting
and be differed by white men. 1t never
entered their heads that the colored man
would want to represent himself. And
that was what worried Some of them. New
England is supposed to be the home of all
that is heightened and honorable: but for
all that her senators did not want an
octoroon in the senate, claiming and
exercising the privilege Of other gentle
men.
We are glad to see that at least one
American citizen of African descent has
found out the secret of republican affection
for his race. The colored folks are to do
the voting" and the white folks the Office
holding. Just so long as the former agree
to this arrangement, just so long they
may depend upon the support and pro-
lection Of the republican party. But
whenever and wherever they ask for a
share in the honors and emoluments OF
office, they find the support and protection
promptly withdrawn. In the south the
black republicans outnumbered the white
republicans hundred to one, yet how
often did the minority recognize the claims
| and reward the fidelity of the majority
When did carpet Dagger step out of The
path of political advancement to make
room for colored brother? Pinchback'
own case is an illustration. Ii Kellogg
Packard, and the rest OF the Louisiana car
pet-baggers had united their efforts in hi
behalf, he would undoubtedly have got hi
seat in the senate. He was beaten by. thu
intrigues of the very men for whom he haC
worked SO long and SO well. New England
prejudice against an ''octoroon" probably
had something to do with it, but tn
strongest hostile influence came from Ney
Orleans. The ''octoroon" was pulled
down so that white republican could ge
up.
1t is this manifest disposition to US
them as tools, mere political hewers 0
wood and drawers Of water, which ha
done more than anything else to alienat
the colored voters from the republican
party. They go over to the democrac
feeling that they cannot be treated wors
there, and are likely to be treated a grea
deal better.-aS Louis Redal6Iican.
