IL Is but consistent for them TO feel

TIM testimony against EN.SnERTF
CROOK and his ox-deputy, HARRIS, for
the murder of BLACK, is of a damaging
character. AZ this distance from the
scene, the HERALD cannot, of course, be
familiar with the details, but it does
seem that the evidence is of the most
conclusive character as to their guilt.
The fact stands out in bold relief that
BLACK was murdered in cold blood by
some one, at his homo, in Lamar county,
and in the presence of his wife and

IT is to be hoped for the well-being of
Ireland, that war between England
and Russia will not be inaugurated.
Should these two countries engage in
hostilities, the threats that have been
made by those who term themselves
Irish patriots, will induce the British
government to tighten its graspupon Ire
land, and restrict many of the few priv
ileges that country now enjoys. No one
believes that Russia could materially
aid the disaffected in Ireland in accom-
pllshing any decisive results on that
island, and should demonstrations be
made hostile to the government, they
would be met so promptly and deter
minedly that it would result disas-
trously to those engaging in them. The
Irish people will learn some day that
the only redress they can expect for the
wrongs they complain of must come
through parliamentary enactments.
They may chafe and become restless
under claws delay" but it is their only
hope of final amelioration from their
present condition of unrest and the
wrongs they are trying to remedy.

play this evening, which has lodged him
in jail. 1t seems II. De Boer, an uphol-

volver, Werner went TO De Beers
place of business, demanded his
money, and when 1t was not
forthcoming, drew down on De Boer
with the intention of blowing tho debt
out of his hide. Mrs. De BOer seeing
her husbands danger, uttered pierre
ing shrek which disconnected the

a chance TO get brick wall between
him and Werner. Bareheaded and in
his shirt sleeves De BOer ran up town
and found An officer, who went to the

The trouble between the railroad strik-
ers and the company is assuming alarm
ing proportions. Another meeting was
held last night, which was largely at
tended. A secret meeting was held af-
forwards. What TRANSFERRED is not posi-
lively known, further than that all
freight trains arriving here were
switched off into tho company's yards,
the fires from the engines were extin-
guished and the water drawn from the
boilers. Citizens generally arc much
exercised over the matter, and il is
probable a meeting viii he held and eff
forts made looking to an adjustment of
the differences existing between the
men and the company. Up to this time
no violence has been done, but there is
no telling what a day may bring forth.

The mechanics aud labOrers of all
kinds respectfully ask every working
man, regardless ofhis qualifications and
skill, to remain away from the Missouri
Pacific Railway company's shops.
This company has twice reduced
the wages of the men in the shops
under the plea that times were hard and
that IL was losing money. This the
men agreed to stand, though the wages
received were called starvation wages.
Now the company has again passed an
order to reduce wages ~? per cent,
at which price men cannot live,
and the mechanics and labOrers
in all departments have determined to
strike. An in order thatthey may be
successful, they take all men who have
any principal about them; who have
wives and children, and who desire to
see them happy and c0ntented; who
have tho welfare o. the labOrers at
heart, TO stay away until this matter il
