financial management that kept this
country afoat. A few years of demo-
cratic rule will convince them that
there are some brains outside Of the
republican party.

The labor trouble still continues.
At Fort Worth, Texas, there was an
outbreak on the 3rd inst. that ended in
a riot and the loss of several lives The
militia was called out to assist..the city
authorities. The strikers had turned a
switch and when the officers attempted
to close it so that trains could pass, the
strikers fired, and the officers returned
it. The attorney-general says that
since the authority of the state mas
been invoked, that trains must move
if it takes the whole military force of
the state to do it. What the outcome
will be, it is hard to predict.
