EB HENDERSON.
The President Again Importuned to Provide
Place for Him.

The President gain Importuned to Provide
Place for Him.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 1l-It was ascertaned to-
night that just before ex-senator j. E. McDon-
aid left the city. yesterday afternoon, for Indian
apolis, he and Representative Matson waited up
the President in behalf of Eb Henderson for
an appointment They Gid not speak of anv
special position, but urged that he deserved
some kind of recognition at the hands of his
party. They impressed the President with Hen
derson's popularity and said the fact that ne had
not been given an appointment had undoubtedly
been a weak element for the administration at
the election last week. If Henderson was only
recognized with position worthy of his ability
and party services, they thought the party lines
would be closed and Indiana would roll up her
usual Democratic majority. If he is not recog-
nized the same results which have lately visited
the party at the polls in that State may be ex-
pected two years hence Mr.. Cleveland said he
would take the matter under advsementn He
took it under adyisement about eighteen months
ago.

taking any notice of them. If they would
name some man who had been improperly

by the Commission; but for his part he did not

GENERAL FOREIGN NEWS.
Mr.. Gladstone Writes a Letter Urging q Re-
union of the Liberal Party

LONDON Nov 1I-Mr Gladstone publishes a
letter inviting the Liberals to reunite He says:
AFTER reading the Marquis of Saisbury's speech,
it seems to me that we have arrived at the test
ing situation for all Liberals really
desiring Liberal union We have no right
to demand, when the government have produced
their plans, that they shall pursue an altered
course upon them but we have already toler-
ated long delay in the production of these
plans. The beginning of new delays in Febru-
ary will virtually be making indefinite the pro-
duction of the plans I am unable to under
stand how any body promoting or inviting such
delay can be said to desire the reunion of the
Liberal party"

Strikers Discouraged.

A Fort Worth special to the Express,
last night, says: The time given to the
strikers on the Texas and Pacific to re-
turn to work or suffer discharge, ex-
pired at 10 o'clock this morning. None
of the men went back. New forces are
being organized in every department,
ana the places of nearly all the strikers
have been supplied. The officials had
numerous applications for work which
were rejected. The freight office opened
to-day, and is receiving all shipments,
except live stock. The strikers are dis
couraged, and think the movement has
been badly handled.
The state executive board OF Knights
of Labor is here and will hold meeting
tonight to discuss means OF assisting
the strikers. Indications are now that
an effort will me made to inaugurate a
general strike on the Gould lines, which
Ia regarded as the only chance Of sue
cess.
A committee Of knights has furnished
the Daily Gazette with a statement of
the grievances for publication. 1t gives
as causes Of the strike:
Repeated violation Of the contract be-
tween the Gould system and Knights of
Labor, made at st. Louis, March 8,
1885.
Discharge of Employe Hall at Mar
shall, alleging that the cause was preju-
dice against the order.
Employment Of coOlie and convict
labor by the Texas and Pacific, and
lastly, demanding an increase in wages
in trackmen from Sl.l5 TO Sl.50pe day.

indications Of Trouble.

GALVESTON, March 4.-These are many
strong indications tonight that the la
Dor troubles on the Texas Pacific and
other lines in North Texas will be ex-
tended to this end and other South
Texas points within the next As hours.
d. II. Black. member of District Exeou-
tive Committee IS, Knights of Labor, ar
rived in the city this evening from Fort
Worth. He has been in secret confer
ence with the local assembly until Md
night. Other members Of the District
Executive Committee will arrive to-
morrow. 1t is thought that the local
knights will seize the opportunity while
Texas railroads are paralyZed, to enforce
the Mallory boycott against the Gulf,
Colorado and Santa Fe road and Missou-
ri Pacific, both OF which lines paid no at
tention to the order boycotting Mallory
freight. As the Santa Fe road handles
the bulk of the Mallory freight, it is
thought the first aggressive move will
be against that line. Local Knights
have made known no other grievance.
Their intentions are carefully concealed.
There is general fear of impending

SPRINGFIELD, Ohio, March 4.-EXCite-
ment in the labor situation is still in
tense. The prOprietors of the East
Street Reaper Works claim that only 3SS
men are out, but the men themselves
claim that that 800 are out. There is
no violence. If no settlement can be
reached, j. b. POwderly, Master Work
man of the Knights Of Labor, will be APP
pointed to act as arbitrator The dis
charged men have received many offers
Ofhelp from business men and others.
The men call on all wOTkmen to stay
away from Springfield until the difficult
ty is settled. The men are already talk
ing Of boycottlng and are in great
state Of excitement. Most of the men
discharged will be destitute in short
time. The proprietors of the other fac
tories refuse TO discharge the knights of
Labor men in their employ.

BIG FOOT PosToFFICE, Frio County,
Texas, February q, 1Ss6.-Permit citi-
zen to communicate his views through
your paper on a subject which ought to
interest many. 1t does not take the wis
dom of Solomon nor the eloguenoe of
Caesar to notice and give utterance TO
facts as they are and on affairs that are
drifting from bad to worse. 1t will take
honest and bold men, true to their dear
bought liberty, to themselves and to
their fellow-men and to the rising gen.
Grafton, to put down the brake and
check the down grade (descend) and re-
turn to former condition of this COM
monwealth and improve the financial
condition Of the Texas State Treaury.
Why shall we need so much more more
in proportion to our now assessed value
Of property and increase OF population
to run our State Governments. Is there
no way to diminish the expenses OF
criminal proceedings in felony cases E?
Is the grand jury system an expense
that could not be dispensed with or
modified. Should not terms in the peni-
Tertiary be extended and reform school
established for young criminals and va
grants to learn trades as well as needful
education, self-sustaining by proper
management? Virtues needs training I!
1t is not the work of one day nor the
capacity of one Individual to accomplish
such reform.
There were heroes in every age and
patriots In every generation who
brought changes at any cost. In this
generation Republican form Of Gov
eminent Reform Is all that is needed.
The masses. the tax-papers, have to urge
Reform. The peoples money ought to
be economically used, and they must
delegate honest, true and intelligent
men to bring about Reform, through
proper Legislation, and amending the
constitution. Admit illiterate to public
schools regardless Of age. Reform.

Piece Of information.

From railroad man this morning
LIGHT reporter was informed that the
Southern Pacific did not come to any
arrangement regarding the strike, and
the matter was not settled with the
Morgan line until after the delegate had
been sent from here, but when he ar
rived at his destination everything had
been satisfactorily settled. 1t was not
a Brotherhood affair, although members
Of the order had taken part in it on their
own responsibility, and contrary to the
laws OF the Brotherhood.
