Working The Workingmen.

Eiitor LIGHT.
1t is very amusing to see the num-
Der of workingmen's clubs that are
springing up week after week in this
city. The same old gang, with the
exception of one or two new faces that
have been added to it this year. This
is the old workingmen's club. but has
been transformed into a ''non-parti-
san, or striking club" for the pur-
pose of "bleeding" the poor candidates
running for office; the same identical
gang that existed four years ago.
How they succeeded is well known,
and the amount of good they did
themselves or the candidate is better
known.
You do not see their meetings at
tended as they We're four years ago.
No, because they know the men that
are at the head of it, and they have
got enough of "bulldozing" to last
them the balance of their lives. The
candidates can depend more upon the
silent vote of the workingman than
all the votes this gang can bring, or
influence, and will be less money out
of pocket when the contest is over.
They are not interested enough in the
welfare of the working class, but in
the welfare of, their own pockets.
They endeavOr to get as many sigma
lures as possible on their roll, and
then form themselves into conference
committee, bring this roll around in
their pockets and present it to the
candidate running for office and tell
him in the greatest confidence, 81

together This is done at time
when the doubtful ones are not
around, and must be done very slick.
The green candidate immedi-

satisfied that he has secured so many
votes, and the working influence Of

him the man in the moon.
This is done until the whole list Of
candidates are canvassed, with the
exception of the practical politician
whom they do not approach, because
they are too well posted and know
the gang too well. Respectfully,
A GENUINE WORKINGMAN.

Town Lot Boom.

Capt. H0sack informs our reporter
that his season of auction town
lot sales is opening, and following his
sale on the Denver, Texas and Fort
Worth railroad at Iowa Point, in
Wichita county, on October 10Th and
Goth, he will conduct a sale in No
vember on the San Antonio and
Arkansas Pass railroad at Skidmore,
and other sales will follow in our city
These sales always divide property
among the many, and thereby add
more life, interest and effort to build
up our country as well as our cities;
and it has been the captains good
fortune to conduct such sales at forty
one different places in our great state,

PrendegraStS Bombshell.

Reference has been made in these
columns editorially to the detection of
Mr.. A. G.. Prendegrast, chairman of the
democratic executive committee for
his judicial district, from the Mills
following, and his reasons for re-
fusing to support Mills: and these are
his reasons:
"After deliberation I have deter
mined to cast my vote for what 1 be-
lieve to be the best interest of my
country, and 1 have determined to
resign the said craftsmanship and
openly advocate the election of Col. E.
A. Jones, whom l regard as better
and at the request of Mr.. Jones'
ship of the independent democratic
committee. In this matter the party
lash has been used in vain agains t
me, as it has been against many
others, and it may be in their opinion
1 am very bad democrat; yet
81 have never been an ardent pro-
hibitionist and then violent anti
prohibitionist turncoat, as Colonel
Mills has been.
"Nor have I publicly denounced
other democrats who have been my
supporters because they differed
with me OH a question which the
democratic state convention declared
was no test of their democracy, as
Colonel Mills has dOne.n
~ have never been knownothing
and denounced democracy, as Col.
Mills has been and done.
~ have never been a wing and sup
ported it's doctrines against dem
Ocracy, as Colonel Mills has done.
~ have never been a greenbacker
and made greenback speeches, and
recanted for the sake of office, as has
been done for and by Colonel Mills.
81 have not been an Office holder
fifteen years and drawn about S75, 900
from my people, and then gone to an
other section of the country and made
speeches to the capitalists telling
them by the passage of my bill they
would make per cent more than they
now make under the law, thereby at
tempting to injure all and ruin some
of my people, as Col. Mills has done
in the wool question.
II am not in favor of legislation
that enriChes one section to the injury
of my own section and people, as Col.
Mills has done.
~ have always voted the demo-
cratic ticket unscratched, but in the
ensuing election ] shall substitute

New YORK, October 10.-The Times
says: Just as the big rate wars in the

breaks out among the railroads of the

some time. Yesterday there came
what amounted practically to an Off
cial announcement of it. The East
Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia COM
pany, backed by the controlling pow
ers of the Richmond Terminal COM
pany, comes to the front as aggressor.
The Georgia Central, the richest of all
the big southern roads, has
the other end of the fight,
and if the plans publicly proclaimed,
are carried out, there will be bitter
contest, and one that, continued, its
declared aims will involve perhaps,
the loss of millions of dollars. Briefly
told the East Tennessee, Virginia and
Georgia company promised to parallel
the Georgia Cent? road into Savan-
nah, and not this only, but are carry
ing the war to the bitter end. The
East Tennessee proposes to establish
line of its own of steamships to COM
pare with the Ocean Steamship COM
pany, running between Savannah
and New York. g,

What Do Farmers Think Oft?

Newark American.
If it was true, as claimed by the
free traders, that the Mills bill only
proposed a reduction of seven per
cent from the present tariff, it seems
unjust and unfair that it should make
the wool growers suffer the great bulk
of this reduction by taking all the
duty or protection from this product.
The reduction proposed by that bill
and the democratic platform is just
one hundred per cent. of the present
duty OH that staple and all cereals,
