Fort Worth Gazette.
The capitalists, the workmen and the
tradesmen around the coke region OF
Pennsylvania are losing $500, 600 month
on account of the strike. The strike
| will hold on for three or four months, a
million OF more dollars will be lost, the
wOrkmen will sell everything they have
to sustain life, and then, on the verge of
J starvation, they will go to work at about
the same rate Of wages they were paid
when they struck. 1t will take them
! years to make good what they lost in a
few months. Yet, as long as the fools
predominant, such things must be.

All classes of labOrers can strike for
higher wages save the industrious, hon
est farmer. He must put up with what
ever railroad corporations, merchants,
bankers and money lenders see proper to
allow him. All trades and professions
have their rings and unions which Oper-
ate directly against the farming inter-
ests of the country, and yet the whole
human race is entirely dependent upon
the products of the soil for its very ex.
istence. Certainly the fostering hand OF
Government should be extended over
the agricultural element OF the land.

A HIGH license bill is now pending be-
fore the New York Legislature, and at
a meeting held in New York City last
week under the call of the Church Tenn
peranCe Society and Society for the
Prevention of Crime, the Rev. Howard
Crosby, the father Of the high license
bill, said among other things: "The
question is one oflaw for the multitude.
not one Of moral excellence for the indi-
yidual. ! can't make You teetOtalers by
law. We must regard the honest opin-
ions Of upright citizens. There are
three classes ofmen whose opinions we
must regard, those who think they have
a right TO make a hotel like their homes;
those who think they have right to
take their glass Of wine at restaurant,
and the lOwly who take their glass of
beer in the middle of the day at their
work. and it is no more to them than
cup of coffee to you. Our German cit
zens who take beer are among our best
citizens. If we adopt the high license
law we shall have with us all these three
classes OF good citizens. They are ready
to say, down with the grOggeries. There
are several amendments that ought TO
be adopted. One is to make the owner
of the property responsible"

The st. Louis Globe Democrat says:
"The closing Of the Mccormick Reaper
Works at Chicago, and the consequent
loss Of employment by 400 persons, is a
serious and deplorable affair from any
point of view. II also presents new
and significant feature In the problem of
capital and labor. Without stopping to
discuss the merits Of this particular
case, it is worth noting that after all has
been said and done, the employer still
has the privilege of stopping his bust
ness, and depriving his employees Of
work at any price or on any conditions
and he thus merely loses profits which
he is able to spare, while the employees
lose wages which are practically indis-
pensable to them. There is material
here fer sober thought"

OK TUESDAY, February l6, Mr.. Desi-
deriO Lagrange, the editor Of the Mon
terey Revista, the leading daily news
paper OF Northern Mexico, was arrested
and thrown into solitary confinement
without knowing the cause or who was
his accuser. Twen;y-fOur hours alter
wards he was taken before n Judge and
was allowed to choose an attorney and
learn the cause Of arrest, which was de-
Clared to be the publication Of a COmmu-
nication from little town near by, the
nature of which does not transpire. NO
bail was allowed, and on Saturday Mr..
ROmulo Rodriguez came forward and
acknowledged himself as the writer OF
the letter. and was also thrown into
prison. At last accounts they had APP
pealed to the Supreme Court, but in the
meantime languish in durance vile,
which means all those words can imply
in Mexico. The LIGHT simply makes a
mention of this as Mr.. Lagrange has
many warm friends in this city and
State, and also as pointer to the am
bilious young hot-blOOd5 who seek
field in which to work in the cause of re-
form. Go to Mexico, young man, write
scorcher on the high-handed depotism
of the authorities, and then rest While
behind the bars and ruminate on the
stupidity of men who can't distinguish
genius.
"ABOUT the jOllest of fellows says

veterans with legs and arms missing,
who draw pensions for the loss Of their
limbs and draw salaries as officials OF
the House besides. They are merry
lot, In spite of their misiortunes. Some
of them have lost an arm, some leg,
some an arm and leg, one of them both
arms and one both legs. Yet they are
full Of pranks and funny sayings
and dOings. Go by their doors any day
when they are not busy and you are
liable to find them chatting each other,
passing jokes back and forth, INDUCING
in the liveliest kind of sport among
themselves. Sometimes the fun grows
fast and furious, and the muscles and
crutches and wooden legs are brought
into play, and If there are few people
about you are liable to see n half dozen
of these manned fellows indulging in
regular rough-and-tumbe struggle on
the tiled floor of the Capitol, with
wooden legs and steel hands and crutehes
and stumps of arms and legs flying
about Unfortunately. They are II jolly
lot, these old MANNED heroes, and are
the warmest of friends among them
selves and the kindiest in feeling to-
ward their late opponents who never sit
