passed to the effect that Abilene needs
more railroads, and that they would pay

volunteer to build them, and in almost

The American workingman is not as
wise as his fellow worker in Great Brit
ain. There strikes now are of rare oc-
currence, and never without a sufficient
and real cause. This state of things has
been brought about by courts of arbitra-
ton and by rule rigidly enforced, that
no branch society dare strike without first
submitting their grievance to the central
committee, composed of workmen, who
decide on the dispute more on how it
would affect the trade generally, than on
the local bearings of the case.

COMING ELECTIONS, HARD ON BAcKBoNEs
The majesty of a state law ought to be
as much respected as the federal laws.

RATHER HAsTY, EVEN FOR TEXAS.

When an, undertaken in Texas hears one
man call another liar, he jumps behind

waiting for him.
No effort will be necessary to carry this
county for Ross. The people generally,
in the county, favor him, and his special
friends will see to it that he gets solid
delegation. Ross is good man, and the
Herald would as soon see him made gov
ernor as any man yet mentioned Green
vile Herald.
That's the way the press and the people
all over the state are beginning to talk
now, and if you don't want to get run
over, you had better begin to get out OF
the way of the procession now. Lord
amt it glorious, though! Governor Law.

The News, like many other papers and
capitalists are watching the Queen City OF
central Texas as she sweeps on in the
pathway of success. Every time she sets
down her dainty little feet they are placed
upon solid base before the next step il
taken. What conspired to make her grea
in her infancy was her railroad, leading tt
the gulf. Then came the compress, pub
lie schools, fine court house, good bridges
on her public roads, large oil mill, a fin,
system of water works, the T. d st. L. R
R., roller mill, ice factory, piles on pile
of brick and mortar, multitude of sole
business men, a splendid army of first
class farmers and stock raisers; all con
spired to make her what she is to-day, an,
the same energy and push will keep he
whirling forward in the race of success
! Manufactures will come and don't yo1
forget it.
