A RELIABLE SOURCE.

The Vicksburg Herald, in It's ar
ticle on the TIMES, got a little mix
ed. az is usual, when it undertakes
to deal with Madison Parish affairs.
1t says, "it (the TINES complains

buying it, (the Hera!d.") No COM
plant was made, only surprise was
expressed that any one should
want the Herald except for late
water news which expression the
Herald complacently assumes to
be an admission Of its reliability as
to water news. No such admission
was made or thought of, and the
very issue of the Herald IN which
the article appears-bungles the wa
ter news as thoroughly as its most
ardent enemy could wish. To report
a 2 ft..4 tenths rise at Helena when
there was really fall of over a
foot. and brag on its value as dis
seminator Of reliable water news,
is certainly, a fine display OF merit.

off this-hing?
Newspapers are generally supported
by the people as we'll is they deserve
TO be. but III the cases of poorly con-

Which may be true, but in no
way applies to the TIMES, which is
neither a poorly conducted paper,

contrary, the TIMES has forced rec
ignition by solid ability, and IN

LABOR NOTES.

LABOR NOTES.
ST, LOUIS, April 22.-The .
Knights of Labor ordered out
the employees of the Missouri Car
d Foundry Co., 800 in number, be- .
cause the company refused 70 COM
ply with the demand ofthe knights,
than they should cease to furnish
repair material to the Missouri
Pacific and Iron Mountain Roads.
These roads being the Co.'S best
customers, the Vice-President of
the Co. said he would supply them
as long as he could. The Presi-
dent of the Co., said they would
try to run the works with new men,
failing this they would open their
now closed, works at Cambridge
CITY. Ind. If they can't run their
works there as they please, they
will 90 out of business. They will
not accede to demands like those
made by the Knights.
The Knights recognize the right
of employers to employ whom they
choose-in a horn.
! As the first excitement OF the
strike dies away, the cooler minds
begin to sec that all this bosh about
Jay Gould has really nothing to DO
with the question at issue. Abuse
of JAY Gould is a feature of the
strike, but the real question is the

J. B. Polk and company appeared last
night in the farefcal comedy, Mixed
Pickles" In a literary sense it is the thin
nest of Cruel. Regarded as provocative of
laughter it is success. for its situations are
most absurdly amusing. At times they
trespass upon the border land of propriety,
IN the satirical references to the supposed
hypocrisy of people who ought to be
models of virtue. In fact the whole piece
is series of practical Jokes upon bus
band and wife, involving also apparently a
minister. But the saving grace of the Last
act rescues the people of the play, clears up
all the supposed sins, and sets all the char
acters right with each other. The auditor
is throughout in the secret that the
whole thing is practical joke,
and this takes from the piece that
which might otherwise appear offensive
We should much like to see Mr. Polk in a
genuine, sterling comedy. He is a capital
comedian. His support is good, the
Hiram of Mr.. Melville being level with
Mr.. Folks effort The audience was kept
in roar of laughter, and with all sorts of
expressions about the thinness of the play,
nevertheless confessed to its mirth-provok-
ing character and laughed all the heartier
The piece will be given at > P. NJ. to-day, at
% and 80 cents admissions, and for the last
time tonight. Tomorrow night the sue
cessful PykeManfred opera company will
repeat The Mascot" singing it for the
last time. 1t is well given and ought to
draw for its last night full house.
