The Austin weekly statesman. (Austin, Tex.) 1883-1898, 1886-03-18


Howard then mounted his horse, which
was hitched near by, and left town.
The Waco Day gives the following which
has been adopted with a good effect in
other cities:
"The frequency of safe burglaries in
this city has suggested a novel idea to
Louis Newburg, who every night now,
sticks this sort of notice on his safe:
Don't break my safe; but just turn the
knob, it is OPEN But then Newburg don't
leave his cash balance in there all the
time"
The Age, speaking Of the good work
the evangelists are doing in Houston,
says: San Age reporter looked into the
Lyceum few minutes later and saw a
beautiful sight. There were fully hun
bred persons, many of them prominent
business men; young men and ladies, and
those whose heads we're frosted over with
age, all kneeling down in silent prayer,
after which number of them gave beauti-
full testimony of a conversion"
of our Austin Citizens:
'Mr. j. W. T. Loe was in town the fore
part of this week, in the interest of the
Knights of Labor. His business, he in
formed us, is merely that of an organizer.
We understand he organized an associa-
ton Tor whatever they call it) of the
knights at this place. Mr.. Loe was a
member of the sixteenth legislature, and
has been considerably known in political
circles We believe his headquarters are
at Austin"
The Labor Advocate, of Galveston, tie lis
| the knights that while labor organizations
, are necessary, yet they must place intel
ligent sober and honest men at the helm
to direct the movements of these organ
izations. 1t asks the question, have they
r such men at the helm? And in answering
, itself says, sit fears not" you have
placed your own and your family's happi-
ness in the hands of an executive commit
tee; do you recognize in that committee
men of superior intelligence to yourself?
The editor further exhorts them not tC

: thoughts he publishes, as he has the in
= terest of the laboring classes alone in his
heart when ne gives such advice. He also
makes this appeal:
"Iappeal to the conservative, intelligen
t members of all labor organizations to cal
0 halt. If powerless to do this, they stul
t tify themselves by belonging to the or

is the conservative member who receives

f traitor by members of the order an
: something worse by outsiders. The tim

e all organizations to protest against tn
violation of established laws. Do no
/ protest singly, but get together In bod
: AMI force attention, demand recognitio

state convention, but we wouldn't be ma
