Randall and Republican Allies.

WASHINGTON, Dec. lathe Ran
dali Democrats, who are very much at
sea as to their present tariff bearings,
were to have had a meeting last night
at the rooms of Mr.. McAdoo, in the
Riggs House, to outline their course in
the debate which will ensue when
Morrison calls up his bill the latter
part of this week. Late yesterday
afternoon, however, it was agreed to
postpone the meeting, in order to
allow their Republican allies nm OPP
portunity of deciding upon the policy
they are to adopt. The Republicans
accordingly he'd a conference last
evening al the rooms of Mr.. Hiscock,
in the Arlington Hotel, and agreed
upon plan of action, with which the
Randall Democrats will doubtless, as
usual. sec tit to fall into line at the con-
ference which they will hold to-mor-
row evening.

The Hitch Between Knights of Labor
and Trades Union Explained.

CHICAGO, Dec. 14.-Edw.rd Mulra-
ny. delegate from the Chicago Trade
and Labor Assembly to the recent
congress of Federated Trades at Co
lumbus, O., arrived home to-day. In
conversation with reporter Mr.. Null
rany said: "The action of the con-
gress relative to trades and unions and
the Knights Of Labor was especially
important in one result of our action,
that is that no Knights of Labor card
will be recognized by any trades UNI
ion represented at Columbus. This
means war, but we don't care. If a
man wants to work at union trade,
he must belong to union first and
can then go into everything else he
sees fit"

On the subject of manufacturing
enterprises the HERALD would remark
that the city which would gain the dis
tinction of manufacturing centre for
the great southwest need not wait for
the big foundries and extensive cotton
factories as beginners. Dallas should
continue to invest in and encourage ev-
ery industrial establishment, however
small il may seem at its inception,
which purposes to make up raw mate
rails grown here into useful and desir-
able articles which are extensively con-
sumcd by our people, but imported
from the east or north. A dozen OF
such man ufactories as starch mills
broom factories, fruit and vegetable
canneries, bottling works for making
pickles, catsups, ETC.; chair factories,
etc., would probably be worth as much
to tho city, and be as influential in in
ducing other and more extensive fac
tories. MS a half million dollar cotton

preserved from the product of Texas

other industrial establishment.

LADIES'"

Cultivation alone will not make la
dy of q vulgar woman, nor a gentlema n
of boOr. Innate vulgarity will mani :
fest itself in spite OF all forms of polite
ness and etiquette. To certain class
OF persons, indifference is the test of
high breeding. If you educate man
or woman to insensibility, he in their
view. is a gentleman. and she is lady.
A woman was one day brought be-
fore the Judge of a police court. She
said in her defence !:
''Me and another lady was a-having
a few words, and she called me hin :
dewidual, and ups with pail of wa
ter and chucked it all over her, and
that began the row between me and the
other lady"
Me and the other lady, indeed
The following notice was once put
up over the door of a show
''No lady or gentleman admitted in

'sOne hundred rats to be killed by

Restfu1 Prayer.

Prayer, says the Independent. is not
always petition. 1t is sometimes, and
ought to be oftener, thanksgiving. 1t
is sometimes confession. 1t is some
times alteration. 1t is often uttered
and unutterable communion. That is
a beautiful illustration of one phase of
prayer-the communion phase-which
is related of the little girl of a hard
worked and somewhat nervous clergy.
man who could only compose to advan-
tage whom he was absolutely alone and
undisturbed. One day he thoughtless-
" left his study door unlocked, aud his
little three year.old child softly opened
the door and came in. The minister
was disturbed, and little impatiently
lifted up his face to the face Of his child
and asked: -s e
"My child, what do you want ?"
''Nothing, papa"
"Then what did you come in here
for ?"
uSI UCCttuSc l. WduICu w No "AeA
YOU" And the little one sat down
quietly on the floor and said not a
word. Surely that Is form OF prayer
that we need to cultivate in this busy
day of ours. TO come into His pres
ence and wait before Him, wanting
nothing but to be with Him-how such
an hour, now and again would rest us !
Wehave q friend mot Christian, ,whc
leaves his business place down town,
now and again, especially when he is
being particularly burdened with care,
and rides up to the Catholic Cathedra !
on Fifth Avenue, where he sits down
for an hour, and then goes back to bus
mess. He says, sit is 50 quietl up
there, it rests and quiets me-" How
much more might we find sweet land
quiet resting-p'ace for our weary an d
and tired souls and bodies by just rest
ing in the Lord, sitting without petit
tion at his feet, or as John, leaning our
heads upon his bosom.
