The programme arranged is that the

merce street; down Commerce to Mill
tary plaza; around Military plaza and
back to Main plaza; across this plaza TO

ted.
A resolution was adopted, requesting

Angora Goat Meat.

A prominent Angors goat raiser has
been offered 3 cents per pound gross
weight by San Antonio butcher for all
fat goats, returning the pelts to the
raiser and deducting the weight. This
Is big price, considering that S5-pound
muttons and upwards will hardly bring
81 head, which is but trifle over 2
cents pound. The meat of the Angora
goat Is said to be very fine, and is being
appreciated at its true value, which is
no small item Of profit to those engaged
in the business.

PRIVILEGES TO THE FEW.

The dispatches state that the Senate
yesterday passed bill "to authorize the
Kansas City, Fort Scott & Gulf Railroad
to build railroad through Indian Terri
tory" The company is to build diago-
nally from Fort Smith to Arkansas City.
Kan, is to have and hold 200 feet either
side OF the track, and to have ten acres
every ten miles for depot and other pur-
poses. For this privilege the powerful
corporation is to pay $l5 Il mile OF pro-
jected roads, into the Treasury for the
benefit OF the Indians. While the Senate
virtually gives away franchise worth
millions to chosen few, the popular
branch OF Congress is trying to throw
open the Indian Territory, or the unoc-
cupled portions of it, to homestead and
other settlement. But nothing can be
done. All the bills, all the plans, all
propositions looking to the settlement
and occupation Of that magnificent
country will be antagonized by the corpor-
alton attorneys and lobbyists until they
have secured the pick OF the lands and
the right OF way. The Senate lends it.
self to this selfish form OF procedure, and
the lower branch oi Congress does moi
resent it. Now that the railroads have
secured the Senate's permission to 90 in
in advance, the House ought to lose nc
time in indorsing the consent. Then
there may be hope for homestesders and
| settlers.

THE COMING LABOR MEETING

\ special meeting OF the General As
sembly of the Knights OF Labor will be
held in Cleveland, Ohio, on the 25th inst
The object of the meeting is to determine
what the course of the Order will be
hereafter; to decide whether the wise
and temperate counsels OF Mr.. Powderly
or the violent course OF Martin Irons is to
be the rule in the future. AT that meeting
Mr.. Powderly proposes to place his resig-
nation at the disposal OF the representa-
tives OF the Order unless Trey approve his
course in the past and enact such laws as
will compel obedience to his commands
in the future. The Cleveland meeting
will, in fact, be the turning point in the
fortunes of the Order. Ii it decides to
proceed on the lines laid down by Mr..
Powderly, it will become great power
for good, and is likely to do very much
toward bringing about in course OF time
perfect agreement between capital and
labor to the permanent advantage OF
both. II it decides otherwise, it will
either become power for evil only or
will disintegrate and lose influence FOR
either good or evil Tie circular from
Mr.. Powderly, which was published in
the DEMOCRAT few days ago, has un-
usual significance at this juncture 1t
defines clearly the position of the Master
Workman, and the platform on
which the Order must place itself ii
it desires to retain him as its lead
ing spirit. Ii the Order places itself
squarely on that platform, its position
will be impregnable, for it is based on
justice to all and strict adherence to the
principles OF moderation and sobriety, and
appeals to reason instead OF brute force.
