National Union Labor Convention.

CIS CINNATI, OHIO, May Is The Union
Labor national convention met st 10 am.
with Permanent Chairman John Seitz Of
Ohio in the chair. The vice-chsirmau is
Sam Evans of Texas; the secretary, J. H .
R.ntel Of Illinois. Mr.. Seitz, in his
opening address, said the salvation of the
country depends on the success of the
labor movement. "We must stop"
he SAID, "putting III power our
enemies" He advised against too
much platform masking, and suggested
that only national topics should be dealt
with snd that they should be fairly met;
'for," said he, compromise would be
surrender"
L. q. Weller OF Iowa offered resolu-
ton declaring that all fusion n the past
had been destructive to the welfare OF
the labor reform movement and declar.
ing it should not be eountenspced with
either the Democratic or r. publican
party.
A telegram of greeting was received
from Texas saying 1--WE believe Texas is
safe"
Samuel Evans from the mmlttee Of
conference submitted proposition from
the United Labor section OF the oint
committee which in effec. wss what they
wished to have placed in the platform.
1t contained these declarations: 1--WE
declare it to be the true purpose of gov
ernme0t to maintain that sacred right of
property which gives to every man an
opportunity to employ his labor and to
Ell y its fruits; to prevent the strong
from expressing the weak and the IN
scrupulous from rcbbirg the honest,
ana to DO for the equal
benefit Of oil such things as
can be better done by organized society
than by individuals. We aim at the sboli-
ton of laws which give to any class of
citiz ems advantages, either judicial, in
dustrial, financial or p litical, which are
not equally shared by all. What we pro-
pose is not to disturb any man
or his title, but by S5olishing all
taxes on the fruits Of labor and
obtaining the revenue OF the government
by tax on land values exclusive OF i'm
provements to the benefit Of the owner Of
small homesteads, and 10 discourage the
holding of land 10 large quantities by
SPECTATORS" This was the proposition
to the committee on platform. The SEN
timent so far as indicated seemed IN
favorable to the pro OPPOSITION.
Brief addresses were then made by Mrs.
Severance aud Miss b. Monroe snd the
convention adjourned until p. m.

Captain W. E. Duncan, were unani-

meeting.
Be it resolved by the Democrats of Cass
county IN mass meeting assembled, that
we most cordially and emphatically in
dorse the administration Of President
Cleveland, and that in his effort to reform
the civil service of the country and his
abolition of useless offices he has our
hearty approval. His foreign ard domes-
tic policy, including his efforts to reduce
the surplus by tine reduction of duties on
the necessities OF life, we recognize as
thoroughly in accord with the best inter.
est of eur country.
The principles enumerated in his last
message, that taxation should be limited
to the sum necessary to economical ed-
mipisirstion Of the e vernment, and that
the taxes should be levied on the luxuries
rather than on the necessities of life, we
appreciate as sound doctrine.
2. Be it further resolved, that our del
egates to the convention in Fort Worth
be instructed that in their selection OF
delegates to the national convention they
cast their vote for men who are not only
in fsvor Of nominating MI. Cleveland but

On motion of W. W. Henderson the
folio wing amendment was unanimously
added to the resolutions:
Be it further resolved, that we heartily
endorse the administration of Governor

executive, Of whom every Texan should
be proud.

The roundup season has come in full
force, and the healthy add well m lunted
boys are out in goodly and lively gather
ings. The work in this section and south
east this spring has rather the lack OF
system of the years ago than the order
that has characterized the more recently.
But the understanding gets around over
the prairie somehow, and the work goes
on in good order. Winter losses are
showing to be very light, though the boys
who were riding at the time say that for
about ten days or two weeks, at the last

ing them, and killing the mothers and
branding the calves" snd g reward was
offered for the capture of any psrty guilty

OLD SAWS IN RHYME.
BY II. c. HODGE.

Too many irons don't keep in the lire
The laborers worthy indeed of his hire.
He is nobodys fool like two peas in a pod )
An honest man is the work noblest OF
God.
Sweet tooth in his head enough's good
as feast;
Business first, pleasure afterwards; last
but not least.
Anticipation is pleasanter than
Beauty is nine tailors make man.
You can't teach your grandmother how to
such eggs
Never chooser can one be who begs.
Fire a good servant is but a bad master;
Laughter is truly a poor persons plaster
Heavy weather It is when IT'S showing in
bed;
Your best foot put forward ; hit the nail
on the head
Fate has no feeling; what is done Is done; ;
And two heads are always much better
than one.
Lies travel SO fast that truth can't over
take EN-.
Don't put all your eggs in one basket TO
break 'em.
From Dan to Beershebs; don't hit man
down;
Uneasy the head lies that weareth crown.
Lazness is the true parent OF vice.
Lightning don't strike in one place over
twice.
Without rhyme or reason; honored more
in the breach
Than in observance he sticks like
leech.
The borrowers servant to lender; fear
lends
Him wings do not bite off your cake at
both ends.
Early to bed and early to rise
Makes a man healthy and wealthy and
wise.
At home begins charity; after the cake
The stomach ache cometh; do good for
goods sake.
Misery company likes bag OF wind;
Eels, getting used to it. like to be skin
ned.
The fools are not dead yet word to the
wise;
Beauty's a blossom closed mouths catch
no flies.
When the sun is in the west lazy folks
work the best;
A sin half forgiven is when it's confessed.
As the old rooster crows so the young
rooster learns;
Some folks never know water browns and
fire burns.
Charity covers a great many sins;
As fine as a fiddle; on needles and pins.
Young men for action, for council the old
All things that glitter by no means are
gold.

picked up the basket and started
from the store.
"But you forgot to pay me-" said
the clerk.
