But you don't have to slay Jabber-
wock in order to chortle with Joy. You
can do that if you are robed and adorned
at once in one of those Fine Dress Over
coats which we are showing now, nota-
bly, in Kersey and plain Beaver.
We have them serge lined, with satin
sleeve lining. or full satin lining through
out.
No merchant tailoring shop turns out
more elegant garment than this. We
see to it also that the coat fits you per-
fectly, and as for price we save you 20 to
30 per cent. on merchant tailoring prices.
We do not, however, sell a $50 coat
for $40, nor $40 aggregation for
$l4. We do, in any event, sell at one
price below all competition, from the
simple fact that being manufacturers we
retail you the garment with only the
wholesalers profit.
No finer Christmas gift than one of
these fine coats!

Miles told the witness that Lord Colin and his
nurse alleged that Lady Colin had had mis-
carriage the witness at once pronounced the
statement an Infamous accusation, and said he
would withdraw from the case unless Lord Colin
retraeted the statement In reference to the
night the witness remained so long at Lady Col
ms bedside. he said he had administered opium
to her, and while waiting for the outcome fell
asleep IN an arm chair. 1t had been hospital
day, and he was very tired. Lord Colin awoke
him, but the suggestion that there was any i'm
propriety In the witness conduct was ground
less.
The counsel for General Butler, another of the
correspondents, said ne would not call the Gen
erat because he submitted that testimony
had been produced which criminated him.
The Judge said there was evidence against
him. He would say nothing regarding its
strength, but If General Butler was innocent he
ought to come to court and say So
The Duke of Marlboroueh's counsel submitted
that no testimony had been produced establish
ing the slightest impropriety between the Duke
and Lady Colin.
Chief Shaw's counsel appealed to the court TO
say whether bis client was not witness of truth
and honor.
General Buffers counsel denounced the stories
told by the servants regarding his client as alb
surd.
DR. Birds counsel contended that there was
but one witness to sustain the charge against his
client, and she was the malicious old woman,
Annie Duffy. No mans honor could be secure,
and the condition OF society would be intolerable
if such stories as those of Annie Duffy we're to
be believed without the strongest possible kind of
confederation
Mr.. Finley. counsel for Lord Colin Campbell,
contended that the case against his client had
been completely puverized. and declared that If
Lady Colin Campbell had been accessory to Lady
Miles in inventing the exploded charge
against Lord Colin, the fact should go to sub
sstantiate the charges against herself as proving
her capable of anything.

Proposed Election of Postmasters.

Washington Special in New York Evening Post
REPRESENTATIVE Grout, OF Vermont has intro
duced his bill to provide that the 80, O0fourth-
class postmasters of the country shall be elected
by the people, and he intends to press it so long
as he remains in Congress. 1t was introduced at
the last session, and adversely reported upon.
The bill requires these postmasters to keep an
open registry for the resident patrons of their Of
fees. and provides that whenever majority of
these patrons desire change, they shall notify
the Postmaster-gencra who shall appoint per-
son not a resident patron of the postofice, pre-
ferably comm issoner of the Circuit Court,
TO issue proclamation for meeting; that at
this meeting the candidates for the postofice
shall be balloted for in accordance with the re-
quirenlents of laws governing such matters and
the name shall be forwarded to the Postmaster
general who must appoint the person so select
ed. In case he shall decline to do so for any
reason in his own discretion the meeting shall
be notified, when another person shall be voted
for. Mr.. Grout thinks that some plan of this
sort would divorce the fourth-class postofiice
from politics, establish the principle of home
rule as to these Offices, and work substantial
reform in the public service.

morning appeared on the bench and announced

the Dow liquor law The opinion of majority

constitutional to ell intents and purposes, and
that all litigation arising therefrom in the coun-

ORGANIZATION AGAINST ORGAN
IZATTON

The manufacturers are organizing as
sociatlons TO protect themselves against
strikes. This is what everybody has
looked for. 1t is only an application OF
the principle of Fighting the devil with
fire." 1t Is a bad thing, for II is a declar-
alton Of war between capital and labor
but as other wars have led to better I'M
derstanding between the belligerents and
to more perfect peace, so may this end in
establishing better relations between en-
ployers and employed, and beget in both
greater respect for each other.
The plan OF the confederated capitalists
is simple. They win act together, on the
same principle as the trades unlonists
work together. When a strike occurs
among the workmen OF one Of the men,
bers, the others, through committee APP
pointed for that purpose, win investigate
the cause OF the strike, and If 1t is found
that the employer is blameless, they will
advance to his support while the strike
lasts. A common fund is TO be formed,
which shall be used, when necessary, to
assist a member in holding out against an
uniusti1able strike.
In such contest as this, the capital
lists, az employers, have every advantage.
Being few In number, their movements
can be controlled with a unanimity and
precision that the more numerous and
less disciplined labor organizations can
not Initiate. They have wealth outside
OF their mills, and can afford to lose the
interest on their capital while the work
men are consuming their small stores OF
savings or eNtingulshing the credit that
depends upon their labor. In case OF
strike now, the idle workmen are helped
along by contributions of those who work,
and they are able TO tide over spell of
lnproductlve idleness. Imagine strike
against member OF the employers or
5anization to be IN progress. Tho other
instead OF giving employment
% workmen who, out of their earnings,
support the strikers, shut down their
works or discharge the workmen, thus
'utting off all supplies. BY such action
he strike Is soon decided Men cannot
itarye.
When II comes to fight between man
ifacturers' organizations and labor organ
cations, the former have every point Of
advantage. They can hold their member
hip together without breaking, while the
hundred thousand workmen will have
divisions and dlssensions among them.
I may be, though, that better things will
iome of this threatened contest than war
between two classes whose every interest

ON TO BR0wNWOOD.
Dallas Preparing to Build n Railroad to
Brentwood via Cleburno.
Brentwood Bee.


The Dallas people seem to have at last
awakened, and are now considering the
Importance of building line from that
city to Brentwood by the way of Gle
burne. The route proposed is in every
way practical, and would be shorter
line to build than the one from Fort
Worth. II the Dallas people will build
this road II will give them an air line
from that city to the Colorado river, and
will secure for them the entire trade OF
the vast and fertile Southwest. This
road, in connection with the one now te-
ing built from Dallas via Greenville to
Paris, at which point connection is made
with the St. Louis & San Francisco road
will give the people Of this section
direct short line to Dallas, st. Louis and
the East. What the people of this Sec
ton want Is short line to the Northeast,
and, while the Fort Worth people are
hating, waiting and undecided, as it
were, whether to push the Brentwood
road or not, the golden opportunity is
presented to Dallas to get in its work.
our people will meet them half way, and
the frst road that reaches this part Of the
state Will reap harvest indeed. The
Dallas News OF the 18th says:
Another undertaking for Dallas is TO
build from Cleburne to Brentwood and
connect with the other branch of the San
Ia Fe. This would be great inducement
for the Atchison & Topeka making Its
main route via Dallas. If this is not done.
Fort Worth will surely build to Brown
wood, and 1t is reliably stated that move
is now on foot to build such line from
Fort Worth. If Dallas built from Gle
ourne to Brentwood, she would find
purchaser in the Atchison & Topeka. and
then Dallas would be the proper point
ior this road to converge her trains and
nave her machlne-shops. With the road
TO Decatur, the Trunk road would receive
an impetus to build, and this would be
another inducement for the Atchison &
Iopeka making Dallas its central and
governing point. We cannot sit still,
however, and see these things come to
pass without making an effort to bring
tnem ABOUT. 1t needs active work and
vigorous energy and use of means-not
IN bonuses, but in profitable investments.
lor they are schemes out of which money
can be made by the promoters.''
