THE COMING CITY ELECTION.

AS the time draws near, we begin to
hear a good many inquiries made as to
whom we should elect for our city Off
GERS for another year. There seems to be
plenty of available candidates. But we
should remember this: Austin should
have good men, honest men, true men,
men who will look after her moral and
financial interests, jealousy guarding
every interest that will increase her pros
perity and growth. Give us such men,
and all will be well. Our city has pros
pered in the past, and we expect large
ly increased prosperity for her future.
Mayor French has done we'll, and custom
would give him second term without
opposition. The present aldermen are
all good business men; and nothing can
be said, in business way, against any of
the city officers.-except in the matter Of
high license; on this question they are
way behind the times. Now, If these
men care for re election, they must
take decided stand on this question. II
they do not do this, new ticket should
be put up which will sweep the field.

evening. D. A. McFadden, who was
chosen President of the meeting, in
treduced. Mr.. McCaughey, Of Min
neapolis, a representative of the Knights
of Labor organization, who addressed
the audience. His remarks were very
attentively listened to, and the speaker
was evidently very much in earnest.
Among many things said, Mr.. McCzughey
made the statement that there were 5000
unemployed men in Minneapolis this
winter. Many Of them had to receive
assistance, and the city had already
paid out $25, 900 fer their relief. In the

of employment Four-hfths of these
would work could they get work to do.
His picture of the women and children
workers in the factories Of Maine, Con
necticut and Massachusetts was truly
affecting, when we consider the very low
wages paid and the 10 long hours requlr-
ed for days work. His remedy was {
hours for days work, which would make
places for large number of additional
workmen. He also opposed the contract
prlson-laber system. He thought the
honest man ought not to be made to
compete with the labor of the criminal,
If convict labor is utilized by the state,
it should not be rented out at less than
going wages. He said the Knights OF
