THE gusto with which an extraordinary
statement Is seized upon and paraded as
fact, when a little investigation would
show It's falsity, Is illustrated by the cur
rency Of an item noticed in the editorial
columns of our exchanges, asserting that
every Indian in the country costs the
government $4,000 year. a brief mathe-
NAUTICAL calculation will demonstrate that
II the goo, 1000 Indians in this country cost
the government $1,000 year each, the
total cost would reach s7s0,Ooo,000. AS

Of Dallas to cast aside all selfish purpose
and begin anew on this fair project.
Fort Worth is what IL is to-day because
Of It's unity Of purpose and concert Of
action. This city has never permitted
personal interests to outweigh
the public duty devolving on
all. Dallas should heed the
lesson Of this city's growth and now
assured greatness. Fort Worth has never
lost sight Of the great truth that in unity
only is there strength. Let Dallas profit
by the example. Our sister city owes it
to itself and 20 all this section TO make
the fair success. Every town and
neighborhood has direct interest in the
matter. Two displays at Dallas will be
two failures at Dallas and the failures
win be hurtful to this section.

pUBLfO DEMONSTRATIONS.

Public opinion is too powerful not to
] be valued at Its full worth by al people
who have sense. a popular demonstra-
tlon is the most pleasing way Of showing
approval, and TIE most effective way Of
showing dlsapproyal Of any political
action in England, and the same means Of
influencing feeling is coming into vogue
in this country.
When the president, at the pressing i'm
portunity Of Representative Willis,
appointed Mrs. Thompson postmlstress
at Louisville, the Democrats of that city
held hot indignation meeting and de-
nounced the appointment because Mrs.
Thompson, 1t was alleged, was not
good Democrat. Mr.. Willis was meta
phorically skinned alive, and II one could
judge from the speeches made st the
meeting, his support the next time he
offered for Office would be confined to
Mrs. Thompson herself. Every man, wo-
man and child in Louisville seemed to be
chiefly engaged in trouncing Mrs. Thomp.
son and Mr.. Willis.
Now the other side Is hayingits innings
and the indignant Democrats are sur
prised to find there are so many OF their
party supporting Mr.. Withstand swearing
that Mrs. Thompson is not Republican.
The Willis-Thompson party have held
counter indignation meeting, fully as large |
and spirited as the other, which passed |
commencing and sustaining
their representative. The orthodoxy OF
the opposition meeting was well enough
for by a member of the Demo-
cratic state executive committee, who
presided, and the chairman of the Demo
cratic congressional committee, who
spoke in support of Mr.. Willis. So far,
The affair seems TO be pretty fair stand
off between the two factions. They have
both held their meetings and shown that
hey command popular approval. The
Willis faction seem to have the best of
The fight so far, for they have the post

An editor of labor paper in the
East is refreshingly frank. He was
criticised for having two editorial articles
in his paper Of antagonlstlc views, and
to the charge of gross inconsistency he
replied "No, there is no consistency
in the two statements, that we can see.
The one Is the honest thought of the
editor OF the American Glass
worker, the other was written
for the hurrah element. The for
mer was written for those who think and
love right. In these columns we write as
we pie ase, and don't claim to be consist
ent. Progress, the utterance OF the high
est thought, is never consistent, The
same man wrote both articles, and won't
lie about 1t, either The one was what a
certain part of the people wanted, the
other what he himself thought and felt,
and believed 1t his duty to utter He
does not apologize, and is ready for your
mud and rodden eggs" We are to infer
that the editor does not look upon the
"hurrah elementn as the men who
"thlnk and love right" He has pretty
accurately got the measure OF that class
in Texas

THE senate committee on labor has de-
cided TO restore the rate Of wages in the
government printing Office that prevailed
during the war. A dollar viii buy twice
as much now as II would previous to 1870,
and the action Of the senate committee
Is equivalent to doubling the wages paid
then. This Is the same kind of dema-
gogry as the voting Of extravagant PEN
sions, as it makes the supporters of such
action "solid' with the labor voters atthe
cost Of the public treasury. The work
lngmen of the country ought to condemn
it, because it puts government employees
above the same class of workers in pri-
yate establishments.

who drew the draw-bar keys,
coupllng-pins and other distractions
were put in front of the wheels. One
striker picked up coupling-pin and was
about to throw 1t at brakeman, when
the conductor drew a revolver. The
crowd then rushed at the brakeman d
and some one hit him on the head, knock

ther attempt to move the train. This is
very peaceful method, and similar
scenes mark all the strikes.

THE ELECTORAL COUNT BILL

The proposed electoral law, known as
the Hoar bill, taking the name OF its
author in the senate, has been variously
amended in the house, and if the senate
concurs in the amendments it will become
a law, As it will go from the house to
the senate, its leading features may be
thus briefly stated:
In the states where tribunals have been
established for the settlement of contests
arisi u. of any disputed election, and
concerning the appointment of electors,
wherever such tribunal has given de-
cision respecting any disputed question
before it, that determination shall be con-
elusive. Where there is but one return
from state, the vote so returned shall
be counted. But where there are two
such state tribunals, each claiming author
ity to grant certificates to the electors,
the two houses of congress, acting sepa-
rately, shall determine what electoral votes
shall be counted. Where there is but
one state government and two sets of re-
turns contending for recognition, that
one shall be received and counted which
is supported by the governors certificate,
unless both houses, acting separately,
shall decide that such vote Is not the law
ful vote of the state.
1t is intended by this law to avoid the
dangers of disputed election, such as
that of ls7G-'77. But the proposed reme-
dy is very defective one. In case of dis
puted certificates, granted by rival state
authorities, the two houses, acting sepa-
rately, shall decide which one is to be
counted, by their concurrent vote. Sup
pose that the house is Democratic and the
senate Republican, and two sets of elect
ors present two sets of votes, each GER
titled by rival governors, and the result
of the election depends upon the counting
of one or the other of these votes, what
hope is there that the two houses will
concur in accepting one of them? The
senate will vote for the counting of the
Republican electoral votes and the house
OF the Democratic votes. III either sub |
mits to the other, 1t gives the election to
the opposite party. Under such condi-
tions there will be no agreement between
.he two houses, and the danger that 1t is
sought to avoid is not removed. Had the
proposed law been on the statute-books
n 1877, 1t would not have helped out of
he difficulties of the Louisiana contest.
u that case there were two sets of electo-
al votes, eacn certified by men pretend
ne TO be governor, The senate had
republican majority, and 1t never would
ave agreed to the counting Of the Demo-
ratio votes, for that would have elected
'ilden. The house was Democratic, and
ould not have been brought to accept
he Republican votes, for Hayes would
ave been elected by them. So that the
wv is no Improvement OF existing . ondi- !
ons, aud 1t might as well be dropped.
The best way of escaping trouble
