To the People of Dawson and Sur
rounding Country.


Sometime in 1885 several gen
tlemen in Dawson determined to
organize a brass band for our lit
tie city, and enlisted in the enter
prise some of our best citizens.
They have succeeded, and are now
credit to the town They have
bought their instrument and paid
their teacher without asking aid
from the citizens. They are al
ways ready to give their aid and
furnish music to public and pri-
vate entertainments, and they are
entitled to, and should receive, en-
couragement from our people.
They have not up to the present
time, and do not intend to beg for
assistance in paying their teacher
and other necessary expenses.
But on Thursday night, the 11th
of March, they propose to give
an entertainment at Hart's Opera
House for the purpose of raising
funds to assist in defraying these
expenses. This entertainment
will consist of music and charades,
and will we'll be worth the price
Of admission. They are not beg
ging, but propose to give you val
ue received for your money. They
ask you all to patronize them;
give them a good house. Let
them feel that our people appre-
ciate their efforts and are willing
to encourage them in this lauda
BILE enterprise. Remember the
time-Thursday, the l1th instant,
and come, and bring all your
friends. Price Of admission, so
cents; reserved seats, Is cents;
children, half price.

THE AMBITIOUS KNIGHTS.
Leaders Desiring a Hand in National
Politics.
boston Post. !


There are ffty-three Knights Of Labor
lodges in the District of Columbia. Just at
present there is a struggle going on between
the radical and conservative elements In the
order here which bids fair to disrupt some
OF the lodges. There is determination on
the part OF one section to adopt extreme
measures, to boycott and strike on small
provocation, while the other element believes
that the higher aims Of the order ought to
be brought about by persuasion and arbtra-
tion. The fact that the siXty-siXth district
assembly is located at the national capital
makes some Of the more ambitious leaders
desirous of taking strong hand In national
politics. They are determined that either
third party shall be formed and all the
other Industrial orders be invited to Join 1t,
or that possession shall be taken of the. ma
chinery Of one OF the old parties and the obs
ieets OF the order achieved through fusion.
These latter propose to negotiate with the
Democratic party and endeavor to induce
the leaders to incorporate q plank In the
next national platform calling for govern
ment control OF the railroads and the tele-
graph. The negotiations that have thus
far gone forward have not been highly sue
cessful. The leaders OF both parties are
anxious to secure the votes OF the order,
but are slow to promise that the party plat
forms will adopt these principles. The
success OF the negotiations now going on
Will depend largely upon the outcome of
the factional fight within the order.

A New PoIIticnI Party.

The National View, which has long been
the leading greenback organ OF the country,
is about to become the center OF a new po-
itical movement which, under the name Of
he Industrial Union, may prove TO be OF
Importance. This organization, which will
have its headquarters in Washington, is to
have branches In all the states, aud will
absorb many OF the labor, trade and agri-
cultural unions.
The union is to be antagonistlc to both
the great parties. The demands OF the new
union are polyglot. In finance, the Indus
trial Union win represent the views of the
greenbackers The union Is anti-states,
rights, and favors paternal theory OF gov
ernment. 1t will support legislation to
prevent adulteration, and will favor legls-
lation TO regulate the interstate commerce.
This is the organization which, In Rich
mond, Va, district, has been powerful
enough to force Gen. Wise, sitting con
gresham, to decline denomination. The
leaders of this movement propose 10 ques-
ton all congressional candidates, and claim
that they WIN have eighty members In tho
next House.

The attention Of the police has been
called to the fact that there are many dis
reputable loafers, white and colored, mostly
boys just emerging from their teens, who
make night hideous In the immediate
vicinity Of Washington circle. In day
time respectable women are not safe In en-
tering the park, and nurses are subjected
to insult, or are made targets for the in
sultiDg talk or misbehavlor OF the loungers.
At night men, women, and children are
not only subjected to insults, but they are
actually in danger Of bodily injury at the
hands OF these rowdies. The police are not
quite as diligent as their instructions re-
quire, but aside from that 1t is well known
that the movements Of the policemen are
watched-the rowdies evade the officers,
and Immediately after the "guardians OF
the law" have passed through or near the
park the rowdies reappear from the oppo-
site side of the circle, and continue their
misbehavior without stint during the hour
or more that 1t takes the policemen to again
reach che park on their way around the
heat

the effect OF the extreme dullness, and to-
day amounted TO 1894, 500 only.

The Lime Kiln Club is colored club

on Eleventh street, near II. On Saturday
night there was an unusually large attend
ance Of members. The sideboard was laden
with bad whisky and sour beer. Instead Of

Wanted Back in Richmond.

1t was currently reported in Richmond on
Saturday last that Gen. 7, NJ. Logan's
Richmond and Danville railroad syndicate
that road, which is 1000 less than a con-
trolling interest. Mr.. Rockefeller, the
millionaire of Standard OH fame, is said to
be largely interested on Logan's side. The
general and his friends at one time owned
more than controlling interest In the
road, but several years ago they sold out.
The next annual meeting of the stock
holders will be held at Richmond In De-
cember, when 1t is reported proposition
VIII be made to increase the number of
shares Of stock from $4,000 to 100000 The
impression now is that whether the Logan
interest obtains controlling interest In the
road or not, an effort will be made to have
the offices recently removed to this city
carried back to Richmond again.

The Law of Libel.


The states Of the Union In respect to
criminal and other laws and their enforce
ment are foreign to each other, yet the edi-
tor OF the Springfield Republican was ar
rested and temporarily imprisoned in New
York for llbeling resident of that city In
his paper; the editor of the New York Sun
was arrested In this city on q charge of
criminal libel In the Sun, brought by
Philadelphian, and more recently the editor
of the Philadelphia Times was arrested In
New Orleans on account OF an article pub
llshed in this city and deemed libelous by
citizen of Louisiana. We have never heard
that the question Of jurisdiction was raised
In any Of these cases. lt'was assumed that
the chief editor Of paper "causes 1t to be
circulatedn wherever II goes aud is respon-
slble for its contents into whatever jurlsdlc-
tlon II comes. II certainly is not necessary
that he should carry the papers across the
line himself In order to fix his responsibility.
Were II not that we have the authority OF
"Citlzen" against us, we would have rea-
soned from these and other cases that Cut
ting committed an offense against citizen
OF Mexico within the territory of Mexico
when the libel got across the Rio Grande
through his instrumentality. Philadelphia

No Beer Makes the Patrons of the
Festival Discontented.


The Canstatter Volksfest Verein began
their festival Of three days duration yester-
day at Guethler's park. The place was
handsomely decorated for the occasion. On
the left side Of the entrance stood a fruit
column twenty-five feet high. Theopeuing
OF the festival was set for o'clock, but II
was long after that hour when Naecker's
orchestra began the overture, "Jolly Eel
lows" At first the crowd was slim, aud
what made many feel bad was that, after
the long walk from the cars to the park, no
beer could be had. There was plenty OF IL
at hand, but five policemen stood around,
and as long as they were present the over
heated people had TO take kindly TO lemon
ade ana ginger pop. "Dleser ist nicht
gut V' said n big, ad.shoudered Ger
man, elevatlng tumbler OF ginger pop
while his of eye gave "blue coat' an
awful glance.
"Vas is de masser nit der popf" said his
friend at his elbow.
"Och, beer ist vas vantn and he looked
as II the pop had caused revolution In his
insides. II the beer was missing, the pro-
gramme Of exercises made up for It's loss.
Prof. Hugo Kuerschner made good speech
In German, and II the Americans could not
laugh understandingly when their German
friends did, they had the best OF IL when IL
came Hon. Simon VOLTS turn TO make an
address Of welcome in English. The
speeches Of both gentlemen were excellent,
their words were aptly chosen, and made
good impressions. The Germanla Maenner-
chor sang well, as did also the saengerbund.
While the old folks enjoyed themselves IN
talking about the "Faderland and the
Harvest Festivan the young people had
their sports. The festival began we'll, aud
everybody present seemed pleased. THIS
morning the association has parade
through the principle streets. In the after
noon all manner Of games arc arranged for
the children. Concert and dancing music
will be prominent features on the pro.
gramme. At night the park will be brill
liantly illuminated. Prize bowling and
prize shooting are also included In the
sports. The festival closes tomorrow even
