Clothing business in Dallas since two years IL some

Renhardt e. Co. who have brought about this result.

our intention to leave on our next pay day.

which we innocently committed in giving our

day, the end of our weekly engagement, and
then not repeating the notice on each follow
ing Thursday. The Thursday when we ought
to have given notice was the wedding day
and we were 10th to bring in disturbing
thought to mar the festivities. When we
tried to persuade Dame Bounce of the UNI
reasonableness of such exactions she arose
with all authority and declared no

At once she presented bill of some pounds
for breakages, of which we knew nothing, of
the escape of gas from an imperfect fixture,
and made many grieyous complaints, one of
which was too novel to be omitted here-us-
ing her own words-"I have been deceived

ever received either that of gentry girl or
milkmaid, and forgave her for being rab-

breath in enlightening her upon the superb
GRITTY of republican over an aristocratic
government. We were convinced that the
same spirit of oppression exercised over her
servants, who had not been paid for six
months, and who were abused if they dared
to press their claims, would trample upon
the rights of our children the moment their

THE DEsPoNDENT DEMOCRACY

If the Washington correspondent Of the
New York Herald reports correctly, good
many prominent Democrats are growing
very melancholy over the outlook for their
party under this administration.
"Our party"-candidly admits one Of these
prominent Democrats '-"has no leader
ship. | don't know what is to be the out
come of this session. A good part OF it is
already gone and nothing has been done, nor
is there promise of any systematic work.
There will be tariff bill reported next week,
and probably two appropriation bills during
the week, but there are no signs OF any
policy. doubt if the tariff bill will pass
both houses, the silver question seems to be
burked, and the party in the House is at
SKIES and seyens."
Another prominent Democrat admits
the same Generalization and lack Of unity
and leadership. SIT looks to me-" says he,
"as though, if we should get together in
caucus and lock the doors, common prudence
would lead the chairman to call in squad
of police to keep the peace No: our party
consists, as the old proverb says. of MANY
men of many minds"
Still another prominent Democrat reveals
a greater degree of evaporation and de-
spondency. 1.-THE thing" says he, (which
calls itself the Democratic party here is, as I
see it, only badly organized rapacity 1t
wants offices and plumber It will, in my be-
lief, slough off its honest and really Demo-
cratic members to 60 without them. 1t will
use the poor President as long as it can and
throw him overheard when it has squeezed
him."
If one goes among the rank and file he
finds the same gloomy views as to the future
prevailing. The Offices have been distrib-
uted so slowly, and there have been SO many
disappointed ones when appointments have
been made that the majority Of the workers
feel worse than they would had Mr.. Blaine
been elected instead Of Mr.. Cleveland Were
it not for hope of favors to come the NUT
terings which are now suppressed would
rise into roar of impotent rage.

Senator Colquitt is preparing bill to sup
press liquor selling in the District of
Columbia. 1t will be a local option measure

Representative Dingley's work on behalf of
American shipping deserves great praise, for
in a quiet way he has managed to pass bills

The Democrats who met at Congress Hall
last night appear to have been at logger
heads about the kind of a man to nominate
for Mayor. Some thoughta temperance man
would catch the most votes, while others
thought '.Liberal' stood the best chance of
winning. After they have had several more
conferences they will come to the conclusion
that candidate who is both temperance
man and liberal will best fill the bill. The
logical sequence of that conclusion will of
course be the nomination of John W. Deer
ing. Mr. Deering is understood to be lit
tie coy at present, but little wooing will
overcome his shyness.

But while that letter remains no amount of

while Mr. Pillsbury is doing his best to rid
himself of the odium of the count-out in

doing their best to convict him by showing
that the whole Democratic party endorsed it.

Another of the great generals of the civil
war has gone over to the majority Gen.
Winfield Scott Hancock died at Governors
Island yesterday after brief illness. Though
occupying less conspicuous position in the
great contest than Gen. Grant or Gen. Nc
Clellan, he is regarded, and justly, as one of
the great leaders of that era. The victory
on the field of Gettysburg was largely due to
his skill and valor, and his conduct on that
eventful day makes one of the brightest
pages in the annals of the great struggle In
1880 he was the Democratic candidate for the
Presidency, and though defeated he came
out of the contest enjoying the respect and
esteem of his fellow countrymen-of his
political adversaries as much as of his poll
teal friends. The people of a restored I'm

remembrance
The Portland daily press., 1886-02-10

An employer is undoubtedly acting within
his strict legal right when he discharges an
employee because the latter belongs to a
trades union. Nevertheless it is much to be
doubted if discharge for that reason and
that alone can be justified in the forum of
conscience. Capitalists form all sorts Of
combinations for protecting and advancing
their interests We have associations of
grocers, we have international unions of cigar
manufacturers, we have associations of iron
masters, and mine proprietors, we have pool
ing arrangements among railroad companies
And the design of all these combinations is in
some way to benefit the individuals and cor
porations which compose them. Moreover
we have combinations among professional
men. The lawyers combine and so do the
doctors, in order to keep up their fees.
Has the laboring man any less right to do
SO? Is it wrong for the spinner and weaver,
and miner, and cigar maker, and locomotive
engineer to combine to keep up their wages
and right for the doctor and lawyer to do the
same thing? Does a man ever discharge his
legal adviser or his physician because he has
combined with other members of his pro-
fession to keep up the rate of compensation?
Does man withdraw his patronage from a
grocer when he learns that the latter belongs
to combination that seeks to regulate the
sale of groceries? We never heard of such
a case Then why should an employer dis
charge an employee simply because the lat
ter belongs to an association whose purpose
is to keep up his wages and the wages of
men engaged in like work? Why should not
the same right that is freely accorded to the
capitalist and professional man be as freely
accorded to the laboring man?
The Portland daily press., 1886-02-10

There is apparently some prospect chat the
trouble at the Bates mill will be settled
shortly by compromise The contending
parties have been brought together and that
in itself is long step in the direction of a
settlement. A great majority Of the wasteful
contests between labor and capital could be
settled honorably to both sides by little
concession on the part of each.

A Lewiston gentleman writes to the PRESS
that the Knights of Labor have taken no
hand in the controversy between the agent

saying that a committee of the Knights OF
Labor called upon him and requested the re-
instatement of loom tixer Dalton.

FRENCH BRANDY.

"a little more grape, Nj. Girard, y
is what the French people must now
be saying to their Academy of
Sciences. Paris has municipal
laboratory to examine for adulter-
ations in food and drink, and, of
all products, French brandy has
been tried by the test and found
wanting. Between the years 1910
and 1850, seven-eighths of all the
alcohol distilled in France was made
from grape-juice. The annual pro-
duct then averaged $4,000, 900 gal
Ions. In 1888, about $4,000, 900
gallons of alcohol were distilled, but
less than 100000 gallons of it
was made from grapes. French
brandy" is now made (the greater
part of it) from grain, potatoes,
beet-root and molasses. Some of
the products are found to be charged
with dangerous acids and oils. The
report of the laboratory chief, NJ.
Girard, to the French Academy of
Sciences, is of considerable conse-
quence in this country, where con-
sumers have been taught to believe
that "French brandy is II synonym
for pure spirit from grape-juice. 1t
looks as though that fiction must
follow the foreign champagne and
olive oil delusions. - Philadelphia

A STRANGE EXPERIMENT.

The result of the experiments
that are being made to hybridize
wheat and rye are described in the
January Century. 1t is hoped to
produce plant that will yield a
wheat kernel on rye stalk, and
that will grow on lands that have
been worn out for wheat culture.
A plant has already been obtained
that promises to fulfill all these re-
ouirements. The stalk closely re-
sembles rye and the kernel wheat,
but the latter has not yet been pro-
duced in sufficient quantities to as
certain its Touring qualities.

he landed at Castle Garden with n

less than $50 in money as his sole
capital in the new world. He went
West-it was West then in Ohio-but
they now consider it the heart OF the
nation, especially when there is talk
of selecting President. He started
into peddling Lake Erie fish, got into
the grocery business, kept beer

went into the manufacture OF oat

similar luxuries. He is worth mil
