county, will learn by the time the
election is over, that he bit off more
than he could well "chaw."
To go to San Marcos and fail to see

As time wears on, Judge Kone's
chances for reelection grow stronger
and more strong. In fact his popu-
larity with the people of Hays coun-
ty is almost universal, and the more
they think of it the more it becomes
evident that Judge Kone is exactly
the right man in the right place.
When you "consider the source" it
is difficult to see how any good man
could help blushing at praise from
that quarter, Or feel otherwise than
complimented by abuse.

Master Workman Powderly, after
making q strong appeal to the
Knights to stand together and aid
those, by their means, in the struggle
with capital, says:
Let us determine to have it go into
history that the men of 1856 struck
as grand blow for liberty as the
men of 1776. The men of 1776 broke
the power of monarchy and dethron-
ed the King, The power which they
wrestod from the hands of q king
was not so great rs that which is now
held by one man, who, through the
corrupt use of money, has brought
manufacturers and workmen to ruin.
The power of the king has passed
away. The power Of wealth is pass
ing away. 1t must now be dotermin-
cd whether man shall rule or whether
wealth shall rule.

The Prohibitionists are moving
forward with much apparent earnest
ness and zeal in some of the Eastern
and Middle States. In the South
the Temperance folks are mostly
contending for local option laws, and
in this they are succeeding we'll in
most places. The plan strikes the
public mind as open and fair, giving
every man chance, and submitting
to the will of the majority. In this
way there can be practical prohibi-
ton in one county or township and
not in another--in part of q State
and not in tho other. Thus the prin-
ciple can be tested by comparison.-

Lady Dixie, whose marriage to her husband

our readers bright and suggestive paper
which may be studied with profit, and the
companion article, 1.-THE Office of Litera-
ture," will be also cordially welcomed by

special attention may 0e called to "Emigra-

Christian futile writes to the American

lors in that Territory. He says il is there
fore "a good place for enterprising women
to emigrate TO-" Here they can vote, hold
Office, and enjoy the left-handed privilege of
serving as jurors" Upon which the Agri-
culturist comments as follows:

upon which he has entered. We are con.
stantly in receipt Of communication from

ry. asking us to aid them in q matrimonial
way. One in Walla Walla, not long ago
considerably enclosed five dollars in his let
ter, on the principle that no could not ex-
pect us to work for nothing. The Editor
having the matter in charge. was compelled
to express his inability to 'send on q WIFE"
inasmuch as he, had as yet found no time
to secure one for himself. However, we
have to say to our Walla Walla friend, and
to our other subscribers in Washington
Territory, that we shall take great pleasure
in keeping the attractions of their region
before our women readers. We know of
many splendid women who have gone to the
western coasts rs teachers, and in other ca
pacities, who now have lovely homes, and
growing families.
The american Ag4cnltu,7st does not ms
yet propose going into the matrimonial
agency business, but we shall always take
great pleasure in urging ladies of character,
constitution end education, to push for
Washington Territory and other regions in
the far West, where refined, honest women
are required to soften, ameliorate, and give
right tendencies to the civilization of the
country. We shall be glad to hear from
other subscribers, not only in Washington,
but in Oregon, Wyoming, Montana, and in
deed, the far West generally. There is no
reason why the splendid women of New
England and the Middle States should re-
main East while their sturdy brothers push
for the far West.
The Agriculturist should also have in
cluded the Southern States. This part of
Texas, at least, could contribut' large and
desirable quota to the proposed emigration.

The great switchmen's strike at
Chicago, which looked so threatening
yesterday noon, came to an end at
precisely 2:3S p. m. very abruptly,
and yet apparently to the satisfaction
of all concerned. There was no calls
for State troops, no Deputy Marshals
with Wholesalers, no fires, no fiery
proclamations, no arbitration, no any
thing except little conference and
common sense on the part of the rail
road officials and business men, and
all hands, union and non union re-
turned to work as though nothing
had happened. This is in strong
contrast to the wretched mismanage-
ment and bad blood of the st. Louis
strike. So much for the absence of
any Hoxie-Irons foolishness at the
