Englishmen Demanding Their


The English House Of Lords is very
conservative body. II is altogether too
conservative for the masses Of the Eng
fish people. There was a time when there
was a good deal Of respect felt for II. The
respect for il and for the aristOcratic class
Is on the decline. The English people de-
mand an extension Of their fran
chises. The House OF Commons
Is willing. but the House Of Lords says
no. The great demonstration in London
dav or two ago Of the working classes
meant that the masses would not suffer
the peers % bar their way 10 additional
privileges much longer. Wherever the
right to vote is allowed in Europe
in Germany. France, Italy-it
is enjoyed by double the per cent. Of the
population as in the British Islands.
What do the English people want! Well.
they want the franchise bill passed,
which. in England. Wales aud Scotland,
viii increase the number OF votes by p
900. 60. The number Of votes now
Is little over 3,000.000. or
course the peers oppose the
bill. It's full OF danger to the exclusive
privileges which they have enjoyed. It
means that the people are beginning to
understand their rights and intend to
have them. It means that other conces-
sfons will be demanded in the near future.
The peers must yield eventually. If they
are wise they will not wait to be forced.
Young william c. Rhinelander. who
shot LAWYER joan Drake a couple Of
weeks ago, in his New York Office, is very
much worried because his family are
having him examined for the purpose OF
determining whether or not he is insane.
He doesn't want TO be shut up in an asy-
Ium. but he does want to be tried for a
teloni0us assault on Drake. 1t is al
Legged that the movement to
put him in an asylum has
for its object not only to get him clear Of
the Indictment found against him for
shooting Drake, but also to bring about q
separation between him and his plebeian
wife. A New York paper relates that
several years ago another young man,
who is a scion Of a branch Of the Rhine
landers. married the beautiful daughter
Of an humble but respectable New Jersey
farmer. The fact that blue blood dld not
course through the veins Of the simple
and attractive country girl aroused
the ire Of the young mans rela-
tives. He lived with the girl for some
months, but legal proceedings were insti-
tuted, and the young man was sent 10 a
private asylum on the ground that be was
insane. Afterward influence was brought
10 bear upon his wife, and she was in
duced to sue for divorce. In a few months
after that the young man was released,
his reason having returned as soon as he
was divorced from his plebeian wife. 1t
seems from this that it is no new thing
for Rhinelanders 10 marry poor but beau
tifuI girls and 70 he shut up in an insane
asylum By their relatives until their
plebeian wives are got rid Of

THE Colorado Clipper is to be com
mended for its excellent clippings,
taken mainly from the editorial col
umns Of the HERALD. Its remarks on
them, however, are as thin as vaporized
water and possess the virtues of the old
woman's cotlee-very weak, but good
deal Of it. There is a sameness about
all its editorials that leave no doubt of
its consistency, for one reads just like
another. If it would avail itself of the
lIERALD's advice, it will set aside its
remarks on one paragraph from the
HERALD and stick it in after the next
one it copies, and by this means save
the expense of setting type and huge
quantity Of mental labor.

a Two-Hours' Battle Between Fifteen
Women.
In the building, 2G Artizan street, is
William Whites paper-box factory. In
,he room on the second floor of this fac
tory are employed fifteen females, rang
ing in age from Is to % years. Most OF
these girls stay at the factory during the
noon hour and eat their meals at their
benches. Last Saturday noon, af-
ter finishing their noon-day
meal, several of them went
TO the window and observed
the passers-by. Suddenly there was
seen to pass a girl against whom some
% the gazers had grudge. They began
10 call to the passing one. She looked,
and. in answer to their gestures, came
up the stairs. She was Immediately
surrounded and rOundly denounced by
the box girls. She did not take
kindly to this reception. One of the
shop girls struck ut the stranger;
she pulled the hair Of the pugiistically
Inclined. The crowd sprang on her AMI.
~ trice her hair was pulled down over
ner shoulders. She yelled with agony
and fought desperately as she backed
INTO the corner. The other girls, who
mad as yet taken no hand i'm the ARRAY,
ran to the spot, some siding with the as
sailants and others with the strange
girl. Then the fun commenced in
earnest. Every girl in the fight, and
thirteen of the fifteen were in il,
had her hair pulled down and her dress
clawed. Many scratches were visible on
the sweating faces After about five
minutes of this wild fight, a truce was
declared. But in the ondeavor to settle
matters, denominations were so fierce
that one girl, with a wild oath. grabbed
her neighbours hair, and cyan to
yank her around the room. Both
lighters were set upon again, and the
tight soon beggared description. The
girls were frenzied. They sworo and
yelled and cried and fought like very
demons. A young man, who is kind
of assistant foreman i'm the shop, tried to
stop the fight. He was thrown down
and jumped on without the least cere-
mony, and the fight continued. The
hands from other factories gathered on
the stairway and applauded, The super
intendent did not appear until the fight
was all over. It lasted in spasms from
shortly after 1890 o'clock until nearly 2.

MODERN FORAGlNG.

There is a world of magic hanging
around the little word "free" to the av-
erage citizen of this country. The boon
of being a "free-man," even with taxes
and limitations piled mountain high and
the Government run by bosses and
rings in the interest of capital and
against the poor man and laborer, is still
regarded as an inestimable boon!
Anything "free" catches. A "free"
ride ON a railway will tempt the surliest
recluse to the longest trip and reconcile
even the straightest-laced clergyman to
Sunday travel. A "free" lecture, a
species of enterprise that is avoided as
graveyard, when mixed up with pc
cuniary condition precedent, will fill
the most imposing array of empty
benches, while the Stree" lunch out
draws Corliss engine in any town on
the American continent.
Even "free" concert will draw
crowds who have no more music IN their
souls than Digger Indian and who, be-
fore they would give up nickel to hear
PATTI or NILSSON MARBLE, would see
those divine song birds banished for life
to Fort Worth.
In TACT wherever it is known there is a
commodity, of the nature of salvation
in that it is without money and without
price, there will the crowd be also. There
appears to be, indeed, a kind of "dead
beat propensity steadily on the growth
in this country, and salvation alone is
the article put up for the mere asking
that is forever going begging. Perhaps
1t is the horror of having afterwards to
contribute to the maintenance of the
church that causes such fighting shy
Of this greatest of all gifts.
1t is an Arctic day at least, with a pos.
sibility Of a contribution in the shaded
background, when anything with the
seductive prefix Of free goes begging
on this side the waters.
The desire to "dead beat" the public
collectively, is as strong in some quar-
ters as the disposition to prey upon pri-
vate capital and enterprise. There is,
Tor instance, the "Free-lance" trampline
upon public decency, public honesty
and public opinion. Then we hear even
yet Of the "Free-booter," who maintains
Tor others, at least, the uncomfortable
philosophy that might makes right, and
proceeds to lay the public and its con
stltuent elements under an enforced
contribution.
But it was reserved for Texas to pre-
sent the checklist elimination of this
"Ioraging" sentiment of modern Amer
lea. Here men, not content with free
privileges of an intimate variety and
with taxes down to bed rock, of their
own Unsuitable greed, demand that even
the children Of the State shall give them
a Gree" use of their school lands for a
long term of years to the end that a few
cattle kings may grow rich at the ex
pense of nineteen-twentieth of tn,
States population.
Cheek! Well, we should say so!
This is mcaner than eating Il Dutch
mans free lunch and refusing to bu,
even pony beer from him.

their allegiance to him, fully four-fifths
are recruits from the Republican ranks.
This estimate agrees with one made by
zen. Butler, and which he made public
at Chicago, believing this to be the real
situation. So far as Butler is concerned,
the Democratic leaders are not over
anxious at his course. They know that
should he decide to run as a rump can
dldate, he would not materially iniure
Cleveland's chances, but under certain
circumstances would enhance his pros
poets. Yet should he support the Dem.
ocratic ticket and be able to deliver his
Greenback Nationalist Workingmen
following, it would insure the success of
the Democratic party peradventure.

AN EXPLANATION ASKED FOR.

DALLAS, July 81 Editor HERALD. r.
The Fort Worth Gazette Of this morn
ing, in speaking Of free-grass candidates
for the Legislature, says: "There was Il
slight touch of the same thing in MIR.
ANDREWS nomination at Dallas Sat
urday," The people of Dallas and OF
Dallas county are almost Il unit for the
lease law. They do not want to support
any one for the Legislature who is in
favor of free-grass as is now being ad-
vocaied by the Gazette, and desire Mr..
ANDREWS TO state unequivocally and
without reservation, his position on this
question. This communication is writ
ten in the presence of several gentle
men whose course will be determined
by Mr.. ANDREWS answer.
CITIZENS or DALLAS CITY AND COUNTY.
AS this is a question that is likely to
attract tie attention of the next Legisla-
ture, it is but right and proper that Mr..
ANDREWS should state explicitly his
views on this subject, which of course
ho will do ut once IN before the CON
vention is held. The HERALD was IT.
formed, but from whom the information
was obtained it cannot now recall to
mind, that Mr.. ANDREWS was opposed
to free grass as now advocated by the
Republican party OF the State.
The Dallas daily herald. [volume] (Dallas, Tex.) 1873-1887, 1884-07-29

THE free-grass organs are exhibiting
a good deal of ill-temper over their dis
comtiture at the results of the conven-
tons now being held in the western and j
northwestern counties Of the State, and
naturally turn their batteries on the
Dallas HERALD as the prime cause of
their disappointment. The HERALD,
however, pursues the even tenor of its
way, never allowing its passions to get
the bi tier of it, and thus render itself
ridiculous. 1t feels that conscientious
serenity, which always attaches to
those who express honest sentiments
with reference to what they deem Just
and meritorious measures. 1t exhibits
no petulency from defeat, has nothing
harsh to say of journals differing with
it, never resorts to low slang and bill
lingsgate, but accords to all the right to
think and act as their judgments die
tate. If it has been the means of in
forming any one of the errors of free
grass, as advocated by the cat
tlemen and their organs, and
of the wrongs attempted
to be perpetrated upon the taxpayer and
the school children Of the State, it is con-
tent. 1t will always be found on the
side of the wronged and oppressed, even
if the wrongs are urged by the wealth
lest class Of men in the State. The
HERALD is true to itself, true to the city
Of Dallas, true to the State of Texas, and
true to the Taxpayers and children of the
State. II has no complaints to utter
against any one or any paper; will not
descent to personal abuse or spiteful re-
marks, but will continue on in that
course which has made ii respected
wherever it reaches, and its opinions
received with marked consideration
wherever ii is read, as is indeed indi-
Gated by the unlooked-for and satisfac-
tory returns from the cattle districts OF
the State.
