bridges have been burned, spikes
have been withdrawn and trains
derailed TO the great dctriment OF
commerce and travel, and the placing
OF life in great peril. Ii is said that
this condition of affairs has been
brought about by the organization
known rs the Knights of Labor and
that persons engaged in these lawless
deeds are members of that order.
Whether this is true or not il
is hardly creditable that this
order, or the best elements in il,
can countenance the violations of law
mentioned. Employees have the un-
questionable moral end legal right to
quit the service of their employers
whenever their employment is not
remunerative and satisfactory, provid-
ed such action does not violate
their contract; but when they quit
and sever their relations, it is
the duty of those quitting to
get out of the way and allow
any others who may wish to take the
service abandoned free to do so. In
timidation or interference is a gross
violation of the rights of freemen,
and cannot be tolerated in free gov.
ernment, Now, therefore, |, John
Ireland, Governor of Texas, do
hereby issue this, my proclamation.
warning all persons, whosoever they
may be, engaged in any of the said
unlawful acts that they are entailing
on themselves disaster and ruin, and
that offended and outraged Justice
may sooner or later overtake
and punish them unless they
promptly cease their lawlessness.
! do not undertake to say who these
lawless persons are, or who il right in
the controversy, but violations Of the
law and disregard for the rights of the
people cannot be justified or exercised.
! appeal to the law-abiding people
throughout the State to aid the civil |
officers in restoring order and in |
executing the laws, and in !
liscountenancing in 'very way this |
abnormal condition. | appeal to all |
,ivil officers, judges sherilIs, consta-
Dles and city officials to make use of |

GOV. MartIn,n ProcInmnr,on

TOPEKA, KAs., March 25.-Goy.
Martin issued a proclamation to-day,
addressed to the peace officers of the
State, reciting the evils existing under
the present railroad strike, and calling
upon them to protect property and
see that the commerce OF the State is
not interrupted by violence or lawless
acts, and TO apprehend any such Of
tenders.
The support OF citizens is invoked,
that the commerce of the State NAV
be resumed. All the lawful authority
of the State will be exerted to sup
port the local officers in the discharge
OF these injunctions, and all persons
are warned against obstructing the
railways.
In his proclamation the Governor
says the people are now in the third
week OF the greatest business disaster
that has ever befallen the State. The
interests of third Of its people are
involved, supplies of food and fuel are
cut off in many localities and the
business and industry of great masses
Of people are suspended. The strikers
he says, "may have grievances, but
this does not justify forcible stoppage
OF transportation. The State Legis.
lature, at its last session, passed law
with the object of arbitrating disputes
between employers and employees, and
the State can be relied on 10 protect
the rights of workingmen.

Representatives Clements TGa. and
Seney [Ohio] have submitted their
minority report from the Civil Ser
vice Committee on the question of
the repeal OF the law, taking positive
grounds in opposition to the law.
They say their most serious objection
to it is that it tends toward perma-
nent office-holding community utte.-
ly at variance with the American
spirit.

THE senate proposes to appropriate the

sufficient.

PARTIES desiring safe investment are
invited to examine the seven per cent

Farmers Trust Company. All papers in
connection with these loans are carefully

chimes than they can readily supply. One
of the first to see the merits of this invention
was our fellow townsman, Mr.. NJ. d. Gill
man. Since his first investment the stock
has rapidly appreciated, and promises soon
to reach its par value of ten per cent per
share. The saving by the use of the machine
is so large as to materially cheaper the cost
of the manufacture of clothing.

piano for about twelve years and can speak
of them only in the warmest terms of praise.
We have sold many hundreds of them in
this city and vicinity and in many parts of
New England and in every instance the
purchaser has been satisfied with his piano.
We have placed several hundred in our
renting stock and they stand the wear and
tear of the hard usage they get on being
rented here and there as well as any piano
we ever had in this stock. They are thor
oughly made, finely finished and stand in
tune excelently well. Yours truly, Oliver

THE bill introduced Wednesday to incor-
porate a savings bank and trust company
at st. Albans Is decidedly move in the
right direction. Such an institution is
almost an absolute necessity to the people
of Franklin county. 1t should be, and Is, a
matter of intense county and local pride.
1t should be unnecessary for the people of
the county to carry every dollar out OF the
county, as is the case in the absence OF any
institution of the kind proposed. There
is capital enough in the county to establish
a savings bank and ability and honesty
enough to conduct it satisfactorily and
properly.
THE Brattleboro Ph0nir has the following
good words for popular official; The
choice of Captain Coffey of Windsor for
doorkeeper of the house proves to be very
happy one-a fact which hardly need be
said. Captain Coffey knows everybody
his good offices are at everybody's service,
and he showed himself especially efficient
in managing without confusion the great
crowds which thronged the house on Tues
day and Wednesday. He is always happy
himself and makes everybody else feel
happy" We, in common with everyone
around the capitol, can cordially endorse
the above.
FOLLOWING Is an ABSTRACT OF tne trustee
bill introduced in the senate Tuesday by
Senator Wright: IF the amount of debt
or damages recovered by the plaintiff in
trustee process do not exceed ten dollars in
value, the trustee shall be discharged and
shall recover his costs against the plaintiff;
and provided in all cases when attachment
is made of wages for the personal labor and
services of the defendant, there shall be re-
served in the hand of the trustee the sum of
ten dollars and the plaintiff shall recover
only the amount in excess thereof" The
above provision in the bill is an excellent
one and hits exactly right. Give a poor
man a chance. They are not all dead beats.
In speaking of the visit of the committee
! on the reform school to Vergennes, the cur
rent issue of the Vergennes Vermonter says
"The visitors found every department of
the school in most excellent order, thanks
to the efficient management of Superintend-
ent Healey and wife. Mr.. Healey who is a
lawyer by profession, and a well educated
gentleman. was connected with this institu-
ton before it was removed from Waterbury,
has been connected with schools of like
character in the West, and has since been
an assistant in this school under w. G.
Fairbank so that his training and expert
ence make him well fitted for the position
he now occupies. He has the respect and
confidence of onr citizens, and all hope he
may continue in the Office for many years
The state could not have more diligent
worker or efficient officer"
