A NEW MAN.

1t appears from a special dis
match to the Galveston News from
Waco, that Marion Irons, worthy
or unworthy member of the
Knights of Labor will be candI-
date for the Office of governor OF
the great state of Texas. It's said
in this special that Irons will be
the candidate OF the Farmers ALI
ance, the Knights of Labor and
the Prohlbitionists; this combina-
ton would certainly make q beau
tifuI mixture. The entire combi-
nation, if they had the time and
the opportunity, and the sPeetacles
could see in the people OF Texas a
giant monopoly. The monopoly
wonld or could be seen under every
bunch of wiregrass, in every clump
of crap-grass and IN every growing
community of cookie burrs in this
fine land of ours. Monopolies must
be sat down upon and Major Mar
tin Irons must be elected governor
ofTexas. Texas is one OF the largest
states IN the union; it has upwards
of two million inhabitants, d ma
iollty of whom are good and law
abiding citizens; they believe IN
equal and exact justice between
man and man, and if equal and ex.
act Justice is done Martin Irons or
no other agitator wall eyer be
elected governor of this state. Tho
day of agitation has passed and
reason will rule.

The sale of morphine by drug
gists is now unrestricted and any
one having the money to pay for
the drug can buy it. An Austin
druggists at the late convention Of
pharmacists in Dallas said the sale
of morphine had reached enormous
proportions. When the drug is so
easily obtained, victims to the NOR
phine habit are readily made, and
once made they are seldom set free,
except by death. 1t is suggested
that legislation be brought to bear
upon the traffic without delay.
The prohibitionlsts are so busy
fighting whiskey that they havn't
time to give thought to morphine,
which is ten times worse than
whiskey and has more victims.

THE ANARCHISTS.

The officials of the city of Ghica-
go are now being told by newspa-
pers outside of that city that had
they, the Chicago officials, needed
the advice of tho newspapers, out
side of their city, the recent anarch-
Ist outbreak would not have occur
ed. Perhaps not. For years the
anarchists have been holding open
meetings in Chicago, and their
speakers have been making incen-
diary speeches, which were from
time to time reported in the daily
papers. The people and the off,
Gals apprehendcd no harm, simply
regarding the speakers as harmless
cranks and seemingly believing
that was impossible that reasonable
men would attempt to carry out
the ideas of death and destruction
by dynamite bombs and fire arms.
The incendiaries had a large fol-
lowing and ample preparations had
been made for the riot which cul-
minated on Tuesday last. The
leaders of the movement arc cool,
deliberate and calculating scoun:
droIs who would cheerfully sacri-
flee the lives of their followers for
the temporary notoricty and tho
making of q living without follow
ing any lawful vocation. Such
men are dangerous IN any eommun-
ity and should no more be allowed
at largo than an equal number of
FGbid dogs, The leaders of the
Chicago riot haye been arrested
and will be tried for murder, with
every prospect of conviction. Say
leading lawyers ofthat city. Every
man OF the leaders should be hung,
and every man in whose possession
was found dynamite and arms
should be sent to the penitentlary
for a long term. Swift and sevoro
punishment may possibly baye a
depressing effect on them. The
same course should be pursued in
every largo city IN tho United
States, where the anarchists -four
ish, Socialism, communism and
the like are of foreign growth and
should be stamped in this coun-
try wherever they appear.

The St. Louis Railway Register
of the Sth inst. says the leaders Of
the railway strike have at last ad-
mitted what was apparent to every
one month ago, that the strike
was a failure. The men who have
thus been duped and led into leav-
ing good situations are the suffer
ers, for few of them will be able to
get work again. For two months
they have been idle and what they
have received from the funds sent
on for their benefit amounts to
very little. Of strikes in general
the Register says: "Thc lesson to
be learned is that strikes oily IN
jure those engaged in them. No
strike has ever yet accomplished
any real benefit to the working
man if tho books were balanced,
even when tho demands were con-
coded, the balance would be on the
wrong side of the ledger"

TIE KNIGHTS OF LABOR.


The recent strike on the Missouri
Pacific railway system having prov
cd 4 failure, and having also brouhgt
the Knights of Labor, as an organ
Ization, into bad reputo with the
general public, Mr.. T. V. Powder
ly, general master workman of the
organization, has issued 4 call for
n special meeting of order at Cleve-
land o., on the 25th INST. Tho OBJ
ject of the meeting is to roorganize
and to remedy the shortcomings of
tho order in the past. The truth
plainly stated is that the Knights
of Labor, rs an order, has grown
so rapidly as to get beyond con-
troll. 1t has become largo body
without a head, and every local
assembly has taken the RESPONSE
bility of striking and boycottrng at
Its own pleasure without consulting
headquarters. Tho sympathy OF the
public is strongly on the side of
the laboring man as opposed to
capital. Many of the capitalists of
the present time were working
men, or at all events poor men in
the past, and many oftho working
men of to-day will no doubt be
capitalists IN the future. Tho gem
cral public is in the long run al
ways Just, and its judgement may
be relied upon as being correct;
public opinion says that capital
has rights as we'll as labor, and
that in reality there is no war be-
tween the two. Capital and labor
arc mutually interested, because
without labor capital is useless,
and without capital labor can not
find employment. 1t must there
fore stand to reason that tho better
the understanding between capital
and labor the better 1t is for both
the capitalist and the working man.
The Knights of Labor by rcorgan-
izing and eliminating from the or
der the bad material that is in it
and correcting the mistakes of the
past, may regain public confidence
and esteem and become q mighty
power for good in the land. The
boycott will have to be banished
and strikes must only be resorted
to for cause, and a good cause must
be given to induce public sympa-
thy and whenever any cause has
public sympathy on its side it is
sure to win. Mr.. Powderly IN his
call uses these words of wisdom :
"In our dealings with laborers and
capitalists we must deal fairly and
justly by them and if we would
have equity done us we must do
equity to Others" Stripped of all
verbiagc it is simply the "Golden
Rule" which if everybody lived
up TO we would have model
world.
