Those vho Imagine tina, the Domo.
ortro PARTY has bed r aplit within Itself,
or that vigorous democratic policy
viii not 10 pursued the coming uluier,
are hoping aealnst hope aud are doomed
IA serious disappointment. The onomias
of the administration have tried In popu-
lar thought Mt least to array all tho
great leaders against the president, and
predict either Is tight or an Indifference
on the part Of the Democratic leaders
that would have the effect OF stopping
legislation and reforms most needed ut
the present time. Particularly has this
boon the case with MEssRs. RAN
DALI and CARLISLE. They have
been reported at various times
with being In opposition to and
then again In close sympathy with the
administration The real fact Ia, both
M.ssRs. RANDALL and CARLISLE, the
leaders of the opposing wings OF the
Democracy, are In hearty accord with
tho administration, and propose, AARON
like, to hold up Its arms.
There IL much for the Democracy 10
do. The party was placed In power on
Its promise OF reform, and in response
TO the public faith that 1t
meant TO accomplish great things
and would accomplish them II
given the opportunity. That these
purposes are uppermost in the minds of
the leading Democrats Is manifest from
recent utterar res by Mr.. CARLISLE,
who probably has more TO say about a
Democratic pol cy, so far as the house OF
representatives Is concerned, than any
other man in the country. According
TO MIR. CARLISLE, the policy of tho
party next winter will be TO SNAKE
ton OF the navy and the erection ard
armament OF proper coast deienses; the
revival of our merchant marine and the
extension of our commercial relations
with other countries by a revision of
our revecae and navigation laws; the
preservation of the public lands for the
use of actual settlers, and the regulation
of Interstate commerce."
Thisis an elaborate policy, but If car
ried to a successful result will place the
Democracy in the very van of progress
and reform, and accomplish more for
the country at large than the entire
legislation of the past 25 years has ac-
complished. The enemies of these
measures and reforms will be tho enc
mics of the republic, and it is not, there
FORE, likely chat they will be many or
loud in opposition. Iu word it seems
that the Democracy is solid and deter
mined, and bent upon the Inauguration
of policy that will cover the party with
glory and bring to the nation added
prosperity and strength.

STRIKES, LABOR AND CAPITAL.


Throughout Pennsylvania, Ohio, West
Virginia and other sections of the east,
another great strike is being inaugu-
rated in the iron, nail and steel in dus-
tries. So far as now known some 1900 or
10000 men are now out of employment,
and mills have shut down representing
as many millions of capital as there are
men out of employment. 1t seems that a
certain association in Pittsburg adopted
and submitted to the manufacturers a
certain scale of wages which the latter
refused to acquiesce in, and the conse-
quence is seen in the closing of innu-
merable mills and the enforced idleness
and suffering of nearly 100000 people.
This is extremely unfortunate on all
sides. Not only will thess mill owners
and their laborers suffer, but trade at
large must feel the difficulties and de-
preston of the situation and become
embarrassed through sympathy. This
region, comprised by western Pennsyl-
vsnia and West Virginia and eastern
Ohio, is the very hot-bed of labor trou-
bles and strikes, and annually loses to
both labor and capital more money than
all other undesirable and Objectionable
features in the country's progress and
industry. The story of labor troubles
there is continued one and fall OF
heart-rending Incidents.
Both labor and capital are unques-
to blame. The latter is proba-
bly, tyrsnnicil and too grasping, while
the former is too powerfully dominated
by the trades unions and associations
which, in their way, are as autocratic

GRAPE CULTURE,

One OF the gro wing industries OF Texas
is grspe-growing. AS yet the Texas
grape has not reached that stage where
from without the addition of con-
siderable sugar, but experiments con-
stantly in progress give assur-
ance that neither France, Spain or
in our own country, California, will be
able to produce in few years better
grape for either raisin or wine than can
bs grown in Texas. In Spain some So
OOO,O 600 worth OF raisins and 100000
of wine are made annually,
and in France just the reverse,
about $5,OOO,OOO worth of wine
and S2,OOO,OOO worth of raisins. The
grape in both countries figures most
largely as an in dustry and means OF
support to the poor. In California
nearly 100000 people are directly and
indirectly engaged in grape culture.
Now, Texas is larger than Spain or
France or California and can raise as
fine grapes and make as many and as
excellent raisins and as good native
wine. 1t may in few years become a
great industry and give support
and wealth to many thousands
OF people. Yet in its infancy this grape
culture industry has vast possibilities
attaching to it. Shall it be encouraged
and vineyards cover the land or shall
it be choked in its infancy? This is q
question for prohibitionists and indeed
all classes of citizens to seriously dis
cuss and settle.
1t is notorious fact that drunkenness
in Spain or France, or other Wine
making countries is not near so great
as in those sections where whisky is
the prevailing drink. Wine and beer
drinking is unquestionably prefer
able to whisky drinking, and
those sections where either beer or
wine is the prevailing drink generally
show less intoxication than others, To
encourage these native wines and beer
is to encourage temperance, to say
nothing of he manufacture of raisins,
certainly ope of the most delicious
fruits. In discussing the question of
now assuming formidable
proportions in Texas, it will be well to
regard this matter of native wine, rails
ms and hops and malt raising and manu-
facture. If whisky is swept out some
thing must AXE its place. By all means
let 1t be the iicy grape and the light wine
of native m. nufacture, where thousands
of poor peoI obtain employmentin the
vineyards tnat grow purple under the
kisses of on Texas sun.

THERE is more wealth in Dallas than
in any other city in north Texas. All
it's banks are on the soundest basis and
can command unlimited amounts Of
capital. Its real state owners, many of
them, are, in tho true sense of the word,
wealthy. Its business men generally
have more money than they require in
their business. The people generally
are prosperous and prospecting. In
view of all these facts why is it that
Fort Worth, Marshall, Longview, San
Antonio, Tyler, Waco, Austin, Houston
and other trade centres subscribe money
sufficient to build railroads and make
other public Improvements, and those
who should be enterprising citizens
here state that times are too dull to
build railroads. 1t has been suggested
that railroad would be more benefit
to Dallas than an additional newspaper,
and money subscribed may be diverted
into wrong channel. Let all our PEG.
pie labor and subscribe literally to the
construction of more railroads and the
erection of additional manufactures.
