THE WHITE BRIGADE.

Let them pirate about the bravery
OF the blue coats, or the gray,
And the glory, and the honor
OF the foremost in the fray,
There's none among the nations,
BE he Cossack, Briton, Hun,
The hero of Sadowa,
Or an Austerlitz well won,
That can equal me in grandeur,
Or boast the rare delight
That is mine when through the sunset
Creep the purple clouds of night,
And down upon the gioaming
Drops the veil of deep'ning shade,
AS hear the footsteps patter
OF my merry white brigade.
For I'm the greatest General
In all this land of fame
I'm not so very noted,
And don't boast a wondrous name
But I'll venture half my fortune,
Which is not so very large,
That in all the famous battles
There was never such q charge
As we make upon the pillows,
When the tricksy Sprite of Sleep
With the curved and silken lashes
OF my soldiers plays bo.peep!
They're not so great in numbers,
Nor so very great in power,
But they're worth hundred millions,
Or royal princess dover,
And ] often start in terror,
As my heart grows half afraid,

he will naturally join forces with any
other enemy who comes in sight. Yet
the alliance will be of sh 1T duration,
because the farmers interests require
speedy and uninterrupted railway
transportation. Moreover, i'm the long
run, he will find that to whatever ex-
tent the artisan class get more than a
fair share OF the aggregate earnings of
the nation 90 more than the share which
free competition would yield-it must
come out of agriculture. There is no
other source from which it csn come.
Still the farmer will probably side with
the organized labor" in the begin
ming.
If Receiver Brown yields to the de-
mands presented to him, he must begin
by asking the court, whose officer
he is, for permission to sign a paper
which is a virtual abdication of his
office. II Vice-President HoXie's
statement true-and it must be true
unless there has been some recent
change in the practice of law-no
yielding on his part would affect the
status of the Texas Pacific in any de-
gree. II would seem, therefore, that
no case could be imagined upon which
the supporters of law and order
could take a firmer stand, or where
the necessity of their doing so could
be more imperative, let the conse-
quences be what they may.

YELLOW.FEVER
On Board the Government Steamer
GalenR. al Key West.

CHICAGO, LII, March ia special
from Key West, Fla, says in connec-
ton with the arrival there of the
United States steamer Galena and the
the supposed filibuster, the City of
Mexico "There are several cases of
yellow-fever on board the Galena. The
commander of the Galena, G. w.
Chester, was approached to-day by
your correspondent, with reference to
the fever on shipboard and the fill
clustering expedition. The COM
mander displayed the following report,
which was submitted to the health
officer of Key West My attention
has been called TO a statement in New
York that there were fifteen cases of
yellowl(ever on the United States
steamer Galena. ] beg leave to deny,
emphatically, this statement, On ar
rival here we had but one case of that
disease, and he had been convalescent
since the 10Th ultimo, having taken
sick on the 9th ultimo. The captain
refused, most emphatically, to gay any
thing about the filibuster or the prison
ers on board the City of Mexico"
The special says the public opinion
is pretty evenly divided as to whether
the City of Mexico could be classed as
a filibuster Interviews with her
passengers are of a tenor which would
indicate that the vessel had no fire
arms on board, and that the few pas
sengers on board were simply bound
for Nicaragua TO obtain a peaccable
residence.

politics Too Much for Him .

A lady on Fifth avenue, New York
quickly summoned a doctor:
ooh, doctor, my husband is nearly
kead. He attended caucus las
night. He made four speeches, and
promised to be with his fellow-citizens
again to-day. But oh, doctor, he looks
nearly dead"
"Has he been in politics longY'
"No, only last year. He worked hard
for HJames McCaulay's election"
''He will get well, madam! He has
a stomach for any disease, if he worked

ton, is very exhausting, as is evident
from the great mortality which pre-.

The doctor uttered an incredulous
reply, when the Senator frankly told
him, in answer to an inquiry, that it

plished for him what the profession
had failed to do. Senator Bruce says
his friends are very much astonished
at this revelation of power. The Globe.

A Significant Hint

CHICAGO, ILL, March ia morn
ing paper says a significant hint of the
possibilities of the Gould line strike
was brought home to the Chicago So
cialists last night. Old DIR. Taylor was
haranguing a small crowd of the faith
full at the rendezvous, No. 81 West
Lake street. "What l expect within
four days." he said during his speech,
sis a regiment Of United States troops
running over the Missouri Pacific in
charge of Jay Gould's property"
"Well, if they do" shouted a young
Texan, who was visiting the meeting,
Gay Gould will have to build new
bridges and culverts. There won't be
any of the old road left" The senti-
ment was applauded to the echo as
having the proper ring in it.

GALVESTON, TEX, March ia spe-
cial to the Meas from Dallas, SAYS: Unit
ed States Marshal Jackman telegraphs
to Receiver Brown from Big Springs
that everything is quiet there and that
traffic is open. Twenty-Five mechanics
who were brought from New Orleans
were sent to Big Springs last night to
take the place of strikers. Freight
trains are now moving. Receiver
Brown received telegram last night
from the engineers on the 'T c." di-
vision of the Texas Pacific road stating
that they desired 10 correct the report
that they had refused to go out on their
engines, and declaring that they held
themselves in readiness to respond to
the orders of the receivers and were
not supporting the strikers. To this
welcome message Receiver Brown re.
piled, saying: 81 was prepared to re-
ceive Just such a manly, frank tele-
gram for have regarded you all the
time as entirely faithful to your duties
to the railway. You will not be COM
PEELED to relinquish your posts. You
shall have ample protection from the
United States Court through its mar
shals and deputies and through more
potent influence if it becomes neces-
sary."

THE RAILROAD STRIKES.
HOW THEY MAY BE PREVENTED
IN FUTURE.
BY the Government Taking Possess
sion Of all the Lines, and with
Them the Telegraph Lines.
To the Editors of the Appeal:

No matter what may be the result
of the present railroad strike, one
thing becomes daily more and more
evident; and that is that the Federal
Government should take possession of
the railroads and telegraph lines, and
operate them as it does the postal
system of the country. Far better that
than to permit one-third of the popu-
lation of the country, and millions of
dollars in all sorts of commerce, to be
daily interfered with at the will of
5000, 5000 or 10000 railroad employees.
whose chief grievance seems to be
that the superintendent of one of the
lines thought proper to discharge a
man whom he did not choose to en-
ploy any longer. Just think of the
clerks at Menken's, or Lowenstein's,
or both, taking the position that
neither of those firms should send any
goods out of their stores until Lowen-
stein should take back certain clerk
whom he had discharged. Has it
come to this, that a merchant or
foundryman all be compelled by his
employees to retain in his employment
any clerk or worker whom the other
employees shall say must be retained ?
Who would consent to do business of
any kind under such dictation
Would the APPEAL? There is but one
remedy for this. ! urged it in your
columns in December, 1884, and Jan
uary, 1885; and the reasons for its
adoption daily grow more seri
Gus and imperative. Let the gov
eminent take possession of the
railroads. That would end all strikes
so directly damaging the commerce of
the country. One significant fact is
evident-that the strikers never inter
fere with the mail trains, and it is be-
cause Uncle Sam is on board. This
discomfort must soon end, or ruin to
thousands of merchants will soon fol
low. If it should be adjusted in any
other way it will break out again UNI
der the stimulus OF passion.
The condition of matters about the
bridge at st. Louis proves that it
should belong to the government.
Who would put millions Of dollars in
a bridge across the river here if it may
be seized by mob and held at its
will?
And beyond all this lies still more
serious matter yet. Congress is spend
ing millions to improve this great river
of ours. For what? For the mud
and sand and water in it? No, no.
But it is to protect the commerce
which floats upon its bosom; COM
merce in which millions of our farm
ers, manufacturers, merchants are
deeply interested.
Will you tell me that Congress can
and should do this, and yet say that
it has no right to protect the far great
er and more valuable commerce on
our railroads? Has Congress the con-
stitutional right to protect this river
commerce against the devastations of
heavens angry floods Yes, yes. Then
has it no power to protect the railroad
commerce against the destruction of
mans angry passions?
Who can see where all this must
end? Who cannot see that the end
ing may soon be in the smoke of mus
kerry?

One Freight Train Moved at Little
Oek

LITTLE Rock, ARK, March 1.-THE
foreman of the Iron Mountain Rail-
road Company succeeded this morn
ing in sending out one freight train
with perishable local freight bound
south. A large crowd of strikers as
sembled and on the first attempt took
possession of the engine, ran it into a
side-track three miles south of this
city and "killed" it. But another en-
zine was found which took the train
out protected by Sheriff Worthen and
a posse, and accompanied by Superin-
tendent Whedon and Master Mechanic
Richardson. No personal violence
was offered, and at l o'clock all is
quiet.

LABOR NOTES.
A voluntary Advance,

PITTsBURG, Pa, March 1.-THE go
employees of Mcintosh, Hemphill &
Co., extensive foundrymen, have been
notified of an advance in their wages
of from to 10 per cent, to take effect
April 9Th. The action of the firm was
a surprise to the men. No demands
for an increase had been made. 1t is
expected that the other foundrymen
in this city will follow the example of
Mcintosh, Hemphill & Co. The
foundry trade is in a better condition
than for years.

Capitol Lands in the Texas Pan.
Handle.

AUSTIN, TEX, March 1l.-Col. Alb.
ner Taylor, of the Chicago syndicate
and Capitol Contractor, who is here
has made some interesting statements
concerning the capitol lands in the
Panhandle of Texas. He said that
the syndicate now has inclosed with
wire fences 500, 900 acres of these lands,
all lying North Of the Canadian river,
and during the coming year will in
close the entire three million acres
given for the erection of the State cap
itol. The syndicate now has upon its
inclosed lands 10000 head of cattle,
and during the coming year will in
crease the number largely. They are
spending 100000 per month improving
lands and are having flowing wells six
miles apart placed upon what's known
as the dry lands.

developments at this point. Every
thing is quiet here. One freight train
on the Frisco road passed here this

at this point are employing good men
as they apply. A train went out on
the Central branch last evening and
another will 60 out to-day No re-
sistance has been made. The men
have left the hops and grounds in
obedience to the company's orders.
