We came along to cross roads in
Alabama where colored Justice of
the Peace was about to open Court,
and it was proposed that we halt for
an hour or two and witness opera
tions. The case to come on was be-
tween two colored men, one of whom
charged the other with having stolen
a hoe. There were neither lawyers
nor jury, but the Judge called up the
plaintiff and said: "Mr Burrows,
how many witnesses has you got
dat Mr.. Bunker stole dat hoeY'
1.-TWO, sah." Mr.. Bunker, how many
witnesses has you got dat you never
took dat hoe, no where!" go, sah.''

WASHINGTON, May From pres

hours as a days work. The various
assemblies of Knights of Labor of
the building trades held meeting to-
day, at which arrangements for con-
Quoting the inevitable lookout were
made. They have ordered their
members to present themselves to
their employers tomorrow morning
as usual, and inform them that they
will work but eight hours day,
and if the proposition is not accepted
to refuse to go to work. They have
also ordered them to keep away from
saloons, and not to congregate on
the street corners. The police au-
thorities have perfected arrange

ourselves to the subject of a town

AT CHICAGO.


CHICAGO, May 2.-The $4,000 men
who had already struck in this city
for one cause or another were rein
forced yesterday by $4,000 more, and
the day was one of the greatest ex-
citement among all classes. Bust
ness in railroad and manufacturing
circles was virtually suspended, and
little was transacted in commercial
circles. The iron manufacturers,
with two exceptions, have refused
the demand of their men for eight
hours work with ten hours as has
nearly every large establishment in
the city. Although there was much
violent talk no outbreak occurred,
and the services of the reserve police
were not called into requisition.
Great mass meetings were held in
various sections of the city during
the day and evening, and the red
flag was conspicuously displayed.
AT GRAND RAPIDS.
Grand Rapids, Mich, May q
Yesterday about one hundred men
who wanted every one to observe q
holiday and work only eight hours
a day hereafter marched from place
to place, making their demands
known, and receiving recruits as they
marched along. Some carried book
beer banners. On arriving at Fuller
q Rice's mill, outside the city limits
they started to interfere with thu
workmen. One leader of the party
drew revolver and ordered every
one to stop work. There being hest
tation at the demand the procession
soon made break in a body driving
all hands from the mill. Quickly
they were met by clubs in the hands
of the mill workmen. This changed
the aspect of affairs, and the mol
took refuge behind some freight cars
and renewed the battle with stones
At this point the proprietors at
tempted to make the men withdraw
but they refused, and pitched bat
tie resulted. During the melee on'
man was hit in the abdomen with {
large stone and another was serious
ly injured. A perfect hail of stones
was showered upon the mill workman
by the mob. The police and Sher
ifs force was called out and quie
was restored. The employees profess
to be entirely satisfied, and say they

- During the entire public service of
Hon. w. D. Hill in Congress, lasting through
many years, no matter what Legislation was
introduced, his vote was always recorded in
the interest of the people he represented
When it came to question affecting their
welfare, he laid aside all political considera-
tions and looked solely to what would benefit
the people of his district. He has never
once been accused of voting on any public
measure contrary to his promises, or of be-
ing influenced by selfish motives, or connect
ed with jobbery of any kink. His hands are
clean. His record is unassailable. Those
that are displeased with his course are selfish
men who failed to influence him from the
plain path of public duty. Such assaults are
not effective. Public sentiment is getting
stronger every day in favor of men who can
be depended upon to perform their duties
fearlessly in the right. Mr.. Hill can we'll
allow the ISLANDERS of malicious enemies to
go unnoticed, for the people know they are
actuated by mean spirit. His opponents
having nothing against him that will bear
candid criticism, stand around with mop
stick and bucket of mud, and immagine
they are producing arguments. But the
friends of Mr.. Hill and the people of the
district are not in the least disturbed

q Cleveland never was a soldier; he
never was a patriot, and he does not know
how to sympathize with the Union.-Com-
mercidl Gazette.
Coming from the source it does, the above
is the most Colossal chunk of unadulterated
gall on record.
The man who wrote that is NJ. Halstead.
He was never in the army.
He never said or wrote a sincere word Of
praise for a soldier.
He was a carping, fsult-fnding, cowardly
stay-at-home.
Although over thirty years of age, he failed
to enlist.
He is the man who characterized Grant as
drunken loafer;
Whowanted Stanton's head bumped against
the wall.
And who wrote of the sainted Lincoln
that sit would be a godsend were some one
to kill him."
Now, the Telegram is not an ardent ad-
mirer of Cleveland, and is not rushing to his
defense, but is constrained to remark that
the cowardly Halstead's utterances that
Cleveland sis no soldier" and that he has
mo patriotism" is an exhibition of imper-
tinence refreshing to behold.-Cin. Telegram

Foraker's reform appointees about Cincin-
natl are sweet lot of drunken bummers.
Tom Young, of the Board of Public Affairs,
attended the meeting of his board last week
drunk, and in that condition made an argu-
ment for the reinstatement of man who
had been suspended for drunkenness while
on duty. Recently Bob Morgan of the Police
Board, got drunk and turned a preemptory
alarm for patrol wagon, located some five
miles away and near his home, to come to a
certain corner in the city where the "Royal
Nibs" was gloriously drunk and haul him
home. This is but sample of the snooze's

Breeches" is gathering around him for the
glorifcation of the Republican party and the

The Bryan Democrat truthfully saws:


Politically, Mr.. Boothman is thoroughly
radical Republican of the Blame variety
He has no thought in common with Demo-
Gratis, no sympathy with Democratic candi-
dates. 1t lis safe to say he never scratched a
ticket in favor of a Democratic candidate,
and judging from the tone of his speech ac-
cepting the nomination he does not expect,
if he even desires Democrats to scratch their
tickets this fall in his favor. He is Repub-
lican candidate for Congress, on .Republi-
can ticket, and if elected may be relied upon
to advocate and vote for only such measures
as may inure to the interest and benefit of
the Republican party.
Senator Morton said in speech at Bryan
once upon time, that "politics is business. I"
From that point of view Mr.. Boothman is
not now entitled to Democratic considera-
tion; ought not reasonably to expect Dem
ocratic votes. Mr.. Hill has not given entire
satisfaction to his Democratic constituents;
some of his recommendations to Office do
not meet with full party appreciation, and
his candidacy for fourth term causes some
dissatisfaction. But Mr.. Hill isa Democrat
On all party questions, in and out of Con-
gress, his speeches and votes have been in
the right direction, and he is in hearty accord
with the administration. In his place Mr..
Boothman's speeches and votes would have
been and will be, should opportunity offer in
opposition to Democrats and Democratic
principles. Democrats of the Sixth District
ought to constantly bear this fact in mind
and, with the old time Shibboleth Measures,
not men," rally as one man in support of
their candidate.

~ A vast domain of 70 miles wide and
$50 miles long of the richest farming land in
the world is located in Northern Montana.
This magnificent and wonderfully fertile
plain, larger than the whole State of Indiana,
is now given by the United States for the
exclusive occupancy of about 5000 Indians.
The tide OF eager immigration is piling up
on its border, and the United States Govern
ment should take down the barrier to its
occupation by farmers who will usefully
employ its virgin acres. The country al
large is impatient for the time when Uncle
Sam shall settle up with the Indians. Let's
find out how much we owe them, pay them
of and be done with it.-Cit. Post.

r No man should get mad because a
newspaper duns him for money. A dun is
not an impeachment of fthesubscriber's integ-
rity, but simply an outcropping of the
editors necessities. For instance a thousand
men owe man from one to four dollars. He
has to dun them to get money to pay his ex-
pences. Instead of getting mad because the
editor asks him for his honest dues, the sub
scriber should thank the editor for waiting so
patiently and pay him like gentleman.
