Not Encouraging for the knights---
Trains Being Moved with New Men.
NEW YaRK, Aug. 1.-THE progress OF
the strike has not been IN any degree
encouraging to the men. The railroad
company has secured several hundred
new men, and trains are now moving,
although not with the same regularity
as heretofore. Some trouble has been
experienced with the strikers at differ
emf points along the line. AT Syracuse
the knights drove the new men from
the yards. and held possession until they
were finally dispersed by force OF
pinkerton men. Serious trouble was
expected at Albany. A large force of
PinkertGns was sent there but their
presence has not been needed. Vice
President Webb telegraphed the gov
ernor requesting him to call out the
militia, but this the latter refused to do
until there was need for them. The
knights depend on the Brotherhoods of
Firemen ard Engineers TO go out. Ii
the latter refuse to strike the fight Is
lost

A WAR ON THE KNIGHTS.

Acts or officials.
Eight Thousand Employees GO
Out, But New Men Take
Their Places.
Strikers Disheartsned by the Failure
Of Brotherhood Men to Join
Them.

NEW York, Aug. 9.--The strike Of
the employees on the New York Central
and Hudson River Railroad was begun
in earnest at 7:30 p. IN.
No one seems to know how the strike
was ordered or who gave the signal to
strike. j. j. Holland. member Of the
executive board OF the X. of L., denied
that lie had ordered or even that he
knew that strike had been ordered.
Several Of the strikers We're inter-
viewed on the matter, but declined to
talk further than to say that it would
prove to be the biggest strike before 1t
was over that the people in the East had
seen for some years.
The Central's Position.
Vice President Webb has given the
following circular TO the press: THE
position of the company is this: We
will select our own men, and we do not
propose that they viii be designated by
the Knights of Labor or its committees.
When men are dismissed we shall get
rid Of the inefficient, the most vicious
and those least In accord with our in
terests. When promotions are made we
will not be bound by the seniority rules
promulgated by the Knights of Labor
A due consideration will always be
given to the length Of service. but the
First and most important rule viii be the
qualification of the men for the place
sf the men have grievances the proper
officers viii be willing to grant hearings
md see that consideration is given, but
we will
Not Allow Outsiders to Intervene
or interfere between the employer and
the etnplnye. For this resfon alone /
refused to allow Mr.. Holland to discuss
any differences alleged to exist between
the company and its men and not for the
reason, as stated, that we object to our
employees being members of the labor
organizations. These are my views and
am satisfied that they are concurred
in and approved by every official of the
company, by its board of directors, and
by the gentlemen who are most inter-
ested in its securities. The strike is ILL
advised, cannot succeed aad we will put
1t down and maintain the position we
have taken.
Eight Thousand Men Out.
District Master Workman L. j. Lee
said that between here and Buffalo
there were about {. COO men out. Reports
received by him all along the line show
everything TO be in good condition. In
his opinion those men who have not
gone ont lean very strongly towards the
strikers.

Tennessee solves the Negro Question.

NAsHNITL LIE, Tenn, Aug. 9.-The first
election held in Tennessee since the
passage of the poll tax qualification bill
by the legislature in 1889 took place
Thursday for county officers, in all the
counties of the state. Negroes failed to
vote, and the Republican vote was the
smallest ever known. In several wards
in Nashville, thickly settled by blacks,
less than half dozen negroes voted.
The registration law and the poll tax
law practically disfranchises the colored
voter, as very few of them will qualify.

Away Very suddenly.
NANTUcKET BEACH, Mass, Aug. H.
John Boyle O'Reilly died suddedly at
his summer home early Sunday morning.
The cause of his death is supposed to
have been accidental poisoning, His
wife has been an invalid for several
years and be had, about l2 o'clock been
to see the family physician and gotten
some medicine for her. He had also
been suffering for some time with in-
solnnia. and remarked TO DIR. Litchfield
when he was leaving that III his wife
went to sleep he would also take sone-
thing and sec If he could not geta little
sleep. Mrs O'Reilly went to sleep and
about o'clock awoke and
Found Her Husband Missing.
She went down stairs and found him
lying ON the floor in an unconscious con-
dition. The doctor was immediately
called Upon arriving he found the
respiration was very weak, and Mr..
OReilly expired shortly after. A bottle
was found containing the medicine used
by Mrs. O'ReiAy, from which she had
taken brlt very little, but which was
nearly empty. 1t is supposed that Mr..
O'ReiIly took Il dose from it by mistake.
This would not have produced death.
and it is thonglit that he must also have
taken n dose of cllloral to make him
sleep. and that he took an overdose.

state OF New Mexico, and insist that ample
means shall be produced by taxation for
their support for period Of not less than
SIX months in the year, and We further
favor the comforting upon the voters OF
each school district the RIGHT to impose
additional taxes for such district Tor such
purposes, and we urge the election OF
members to the legislature who will favor
such measures,
We denounCc and condemn in the most
unqualified terms the slanderOus charge
of the Democracy that the native people
of this territory are mentally ard morally
disqualified for self government; on which
ground that party bases its chief objection
to the constitution.
We favor the protection OF laborers and
employees and the adoption of proper laws
securing to them liens for their services
and also establishing suitable courts OF
arbitration for the settlement Of differ
ences between employees and employers.
Resolved, That we recommend and
adopt as a designating device, to be print
ed on the face and at the head OF the
ticket or ballot of the Republican party
to be voted at the various polling places
in this territory at the general election, to
be held on the first Tuesday of November
next, the American flag; and that we re-
gard the action of the territorial Demo
cratic convention, recently held at Silver
City, in specially refusing to adopt the
same emblem, as characteristic OF the
history of the Democratic party ever since
1860.

LET THEM COME,

Commenting on the action Of the house
committee on territories providing for
sending commission down here this fall
to look over New Mexico and Arizona,
and into their fitness for statehood the
San Francisco Examiner, Democratic,
thinks ''it is quite likely that this action
may be followed by the admission Of New
Mexico at the winter session. The Re-
publicans in congress have committed
themselves 80 thoroughly to the admis-
sion of new states at the earliest pos
sible moment that they could hardly, for
very shame insist upon keeping out New
Mexico, with over 100000 inhabitants,
after letting in Idaho, with $4,000. But
,AA.izona will probably have to wait. The
fact that the census gave her only $1,000
people, taken in connection with her in
vincible habit of returning Democratic
majorities, will be reason enough for re-
fusing her application"
The Examiner is no doubt quite right
in its conclusions regarding New Mexico.
This territory and it's people have moth
ing to fear from the most rigid investiga-
ton of all her claims for statehood, and
the adoption of this pending constitution,
together with the favorable report this
committee can but make, assures our ad-
mission to the union before the year 1891

The people and voters of New Mexico
know fully well, that the present is Re-
publican administration, that the same
is friendly to them and their interests,
and that Republican delegate in the
very nature OF things will be shown more
favors, will have more influence with the
administration, and will be able to do
more good for New Mexico, than Dem
ocratic delegate possibly could therefore
the good people of New Mexico will serve
their own interests and will benefit them
selves by voting for and electing Mariana
S. Otero, who ia In all other respects also
most worthy, competent and fit, to rep
resent them in the SD congress OF the
United States.

THE AMENDED CONSTITUTION.

As originally framed the Index opposed
the constitution from principle. 1t could
see no reason why it should be so widely
different from other constitutions. With
the vital objections removed, as de-
scribed in these columns last week there
can be no good reason for continued
opposition save that boldly put forth by
a few, that the mass OF people in New
Mexico are untitled for statehood under
any kind of constitution. But those
continuing opposition do not take
that position, and simply con-
fine themselves to asserting the
amendments don't go far enough.
The Deming Headlight thinks the pro-
visions of the lerkins bill for bonding
school districts, etc, should have been
inserted in the amendments to the edu-
cational article. Can the Headlight find
such revisions in the constitution OF any
state? They are not to be found in the
constitutions of Wisconsin, Colorado, or
California yet in all those states school
districts can vote bonds for construction
of school houses, and they all have mag
nifcent school systems. The fact is, such
matters are purely legislative and should
not be embodied in rigid fundamental
law. If the people OF New Mexico, with
constitution fully as liberal, as is the
amended constitution, can not do as well
| for education as have the states named
the argument is not against the constitu
ton, but against the capacity of this peo
pie for intelligent self-government ant
statehood. Is the journal above quoteC
willing to admit the cnnrlnsinn@ ..4us
niger III the fence because the amend
ed bill of rights does not include civil as

ton, with slight exception that cuts NO
figure on the point raised by the Demo.
crat. The amended constitution gives
the honest newspaper every right en-
joyed by the press of Colorado under the
constitution OF that state. What more
can the Democrat ask?
The recent census shows the appor.
tionment in the constitution is perfectly
fair--a little to the advantage of the Dem
ocrats, if anything, and their opposition
on that score has diminished in volume.
Appointment of the supreme bench is
Objectionable. but not vital, as it is the
constitutional method of selection in some
states. This feature can be more readily
amended in the future than could the libel
and educational articles as originally
framed.
Now to the impartial mind it would
seem that objections to the constitution
and statehood should disappear, unless
there is something behind the directors
do not wish to put forth. That, however,
the Index does not understood. Should
this journal become convinced that the
people of New Mexico are not fitted fer
self government, even under good con-
stitution, it will say so openly. Aztec

cool million Of money, and all the arid
lands he lost the lands, thanks to the ef-
forts OF western senators, and some OF the
money he asked for WAS also kept back
by their efforts, but he secured far more
than he should have done. For topo-
graphical surveys alone congress has given
him 1925, 900, and has also allowed him
$40 900 for mapping his so-caled reservoir
sites. With this amount at his disposal
Powell will be able to fnlly maintain his
lobby until needed for another session
and at the same time hord of sickly
nephews, cousins and brOtherinlaws o.

SPEAKING of educational affairs, Tam
many, the great Democratic organization
at the head OF New York's government,
has just scored q point that the anti
educational wing OF the New Mexico
Democracy may well be proud OF. When
the New York public schools opened on
the LIST of the present month, there were
$4,000 clamorins school children sent
back to their homes because there was
not room for them in the citys public
schools. What showing OF official cor
ruption this constitutes when coupled
with the fact that Democratic Tammany
e1pends in New York yearly the vast
sum of s36,OOO,0O0 OH debts, official
salaries and political heelers.

TIE gang, now controlling the Demo-
cratic party, much to the disgust OF many
patriotic and good Democrats, will at
tempt the stuffing Of ballot boxes Oh cleo
ton day. The gang must be watched.
1t will, if it can, repeat its tactics Of the
Bernalllo county election in November,
1882, when it placed 900 fraudulent bal
lots where, it thought, they would do the
Democratic candidates the most good.
But the scheme did not work and was
upset by the courts after long and weary
some trial in which the iniquity and wick
edness OF the gang was concluslvely
proven. Beware and watch out; the peo
pie will have an honest election this time
and it will be had, regardless of conse
quences. This is neilher- Arta"S"' ~
STATEHOOD has benefited the people oil
the several new states immensely. The
people of the new states, regardless Of
party, would not return to a territorial
condition, if they could. They would
not change back under any circum-
stances. New Mexico will be benefited
likewise, when she takes her rightful
place among the sisterhood of states :;

citizens OF New Mexico, and help your
selves regardless of the winnings and

THE sea side resort correspondents, most
OF them presumed to be woman journal

ters this year to the great dailies OF the
country. The illustrations that accom-
pany them, too, are to say the least, sug'
gestive of the naughtiest naughtiness.
This class of Sunday literature seems to
have great favor with even some Of the
prude sheets of the country, but it lacks a
great deal OF being good moral reading for
the young folks OF a household.
