PASTE IN YOUR HAT.

Speaking of municipal governments
and the responsibility Of the people for
the character of such governments, the
Fort Worth Gazette referring to the ap-
preaching municipal election in that
city says:
"For the result of the municipal cleo
ton next month the people of Fort
Worth alone will be responsible. The
people have it in their power to make
their city government what they will.
and for all the good or all the i'll that
will follow the election the people alone
must be credited. The city has urgent
need of city government that will not
only be an honor to IT among outside
people, but that will possess the intelli-
gence and the patriotism requisite 10 q
wise leadership of the people Of the city
in their efforts to advance. The lncom-
ing mayor and aldermen will either i'm
pede or accelerate the city's progress,
and now, while it is not yet too late, the
people Of the city should give due heed
to the situation and decide whether
they wish to be for two years more q
by-word for Texas towns and menace
to investors, or whether they will have
q
hopes and the needs of Fort Worth"
Anent this extract, permit the follow
lowing suggestion for the benefit and
guidance of the taxpayers Of San Anto-
MO, and accept it as the LIGHTS legacy.
Cut out the above extract, substitute
San Antonio for Fort Worth in the text,
and paste 1t in your hat. Read it over
about once a week. Every time you
read it let the full force Of the meaning
flood your consciousness and creep pow
erfully through your hair. Read it, and
learn to kick yourself as party
responsible for the present condition of
our municipal affairs. Lie awake
nights and read it In the quietude of
your ewn chamber. Stand under the
glare of the electric light and read it as
you pace the streets and note their con-
dition. Read it on the plaza as you re-
fleet upon the desolste and deserted and
filthy and muddy and unimproved con-
dition of these public breathing places.
When you stumble through broken
sidewalk, or splash ankle deep in mud
trying to find crossing, take
OF your hat at the next gas
lamp and read the extract. Read
it until sense OF indignation shall
thrill your soul; indignation to think a
CITY could be so forgetful and negleotful
Of her own interests. Read 1t until you
shall be ashamed OF yourself as a citizen
for permitting such condition of things
to exist. Read it and swear by your
citizenship and manhood that so far as
in you lies you will not be responsible
for the continuation Of such a city
government as is now 80 justly and gen.
orally complained of and condemned.

BACKING UP MR.. ARTHUR.

There does not appear to be much
change In the strike situation. The at
tempt to involve other roads in the
strike Ia virtually abandoned, but the
war on Quincy goes on unrelentIngly.
The switchmen and engineers of other
roads will resume their places, but no
quarter will be given to Chicago, Bull
lington and Quincy engines, rolling
stock or freight. All the employees of
the trunk lines running into Chicago ap-
pear to be in hearty accord with the
stand taken by the Locomotive Brother
hood, rs indicated In the following reso-
luton of the general grievance commit
tee which represents these lines. These
resolutions as reported by the chairman
say:
1--WE, the advisory board, here assem-
bled, desire to express to p. M. Arthur.
our, grand chief engineer, that we have
implicit confidence in him as our chief
executive; further, that we are satisfied
that we express the sentiments of our
constituents when we say that we have
implicit faith in his honor and integrity,
and that the Brotherhood of Locomotive
Engineers has attained its present
standing by the manly course which he
has pursued; and further that we en-
dorse the stand taken by him in all mat
ters pertaining to the settlement OF
trouble on the Chicago. Burlington and
Quincy. and that we stand ready and
willing to assist him in his efforts to
maintain the dignity of the Brotherhood
on the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy
railroad, and also the Brotherhood at
large, against the action of the manage
ment Of the Chicago, Burlington and
Quincy system"
While the advisory committee at Chi
eagO is thus giving aid and comfort to
the strikers, the railway conductors seem
to be n the other camp. The morning

dispatches contain q copy Of the report
of the grand secretary Of one OF the
grand divisions of the railway conduo-
tors, which denounces the Locomotive
Engineers and Firemen as "HOlier
than thou" set and says fistfOotedly:
1.-The time has come when conductors
should In every instance oppose this or
ganizstion in Its demands OF railway
companies, because every time you aid
the engineers you injure your own stand
ing, prospect and remuneration"
How far this action Of the conductors
will act as boomerang cannot be Known
until the conductors themselves get into
straits. 1t is significant as showing that
the railway employees have their own
class divisions and jealousies; that all is
not serene In the various camps which
compose the grand army of railway
service; and, that the chances OF ultimate
success on the part Of any division
is greatly weakened by this lack OF har-
mony among the forces. This is even
worse than lack of harmony. 1t is rank
rebellion. This is genuine fire in the
rear, and it cannot but have very dis
heartening effect upon those who are
carrying on the fight for the Locomotive
Brotherhood. Still the end Is not yet.

Fall Styles for Children.

Smock dresses are among the prettiest
styles exhibited for children.
Children in one piece dresses frequently
wear little Empress frocks of red wool
which have full vest of black surah in.
serted in front.
The little red peasant cloaks made for
babies of & or are exact models of the
simple red circular worn by Red Riding
Hood in her dolorous adventures with the
wolf.
Coats for little children are made of shaggy
King Charles Beavers, with a fleece as warm
as spaniels winter coat; of smooth faced
beavers in dull aesthetic colors, and of plain
figured cloths.
The shaggy beaver cloths are made up for
todding babies and children of and G
years of age in grey, suede color and white
with trimmings of golden brown plush. The
favorite shape is double breasted coat
reaching nearly down to the ankle, with a
little shoulder cape trimmed with narrow
pyra nidal stripes of plush and bordered
with plush.
Tam O'Shanter caps and turbans for school
children are made of cloth, and are frequently
shlrred or caught in some irregular fancitul
way over the crown and finished with plain
rims, or rims of Astrican, or frs to match
the trimming of the cloak. STRING of ribbon
wide enough to protect the ears from the
cold are tied under the chin.
Children's hair is still cut in a Puritan bang
across the forehead without a Russian curve.
1t is left long on the temples in a fashion
which requires the art of IA thorough expert.
Young girls over II st IL wear a single braid
at the back, wi h the hair brushed off the
forehead or IN plain or curled bang as best
suits their face.
