Eyes, there is more in a cue than
most people suppose" said Hy. Bow
man, the billiard expert, as he
chalked his cue, after having made a
brilliant play. "Now, look at this
tip" he continued, you see it is
rubbed down to sort of
point. And then it is not half as
large as the old style of tip.
1t seems strange how players were
against small tips years ago. 1 re-
member that [ myself used to want
the largest tip attainable. / was I'M
der the impression that the bigger the
tip the fuller the blow that could be
given the ball. Now / know better.
Look here. You see that owing to
the pyramidal shape of this tip a
blow can be given to the side of ball
and strike more surface than could be
touched by the old style. which is
perfectly fiat. When direct blow is
given only point can be touched
with either"
"What are the tips made ot?" quer-
led the reporter.
"The best are made in France.
They consist OF two DTS OF leather,
The foundation is solid, and of dark
color, and adaptable to being glued
20 the wood. The other is white and
of softer texture, that will take
chalk, and that can be shaped as de-
sired. No, they are not sent from the
shops ready for use unless ordered so
The tip is usually of much greater
diameter than Is the end of the cue
and this extra leather is rubbed of
with sand paper"
"What is the proper length of 6
cue?"
"The old style was feet long, bu
finally they were reduced to feet,
inches, but experts use shorter thar
that-about feet inches"
What are the advantages of tn,
, shorter ones?"
"Well, in the first place, there il
too much lumber to handle. No mat
ter how far one may want to reach
there are several inches at each enc

An arbitration law of nationalappli-
cation to railways, telegraph and ex-
press companies is very much needed.
If, as Vice-President Webb says, the
New York Central railway has 81, 00O,-
900 to spend in fighting out this
strike, it is plain that the strikers are
very heavily handicapped in this
struggle. Without entering into the
merits of the case, or siding with
either party, it is obviously true that
the speedy settlement of the strike Is
demanded in the interests of trade,
good government, labor and capital
The S2,0O0,0U0 squandered by the
Central road in this fight is a useless
expenditure, and benefits no one.
If congress has the right to regulate
traffic and prescribe proper rate for
freights, then it has the right to regu-
late wages and prescribe labor
schedule. IT must come to this, too,
in time, or government will be COM
pelltu W ldho luo railways VI VIC
country into its own hand.
The evils, arising from the Interrupt
tions of traffic and the dangers to So
ciety, trade, labor and government
from such large corporations 'exercis-
ing unlimited control over thousands
OF men, are too great to be courted.
Arbitration is a sensible, equitable,
civilized and safe method of settling
differences between corporations and
their laborers. This is particularly
so in the case of corporations enjoy
ing large concessions from the gov
eminent. Legal arbitration of all
difficulties arising between railway,
telegraph, telephone and express COM
panies and their employees is grow.

did not the reform labor alliance con-
vention make deliverance on this
subject? 1t would have been emil
nently proper for them to have done

tip. The weight is another important
feature. An ordinary player will use
any cue from IA to "a ounces in
weight, but Is ounces is the favorite
weight of experts. Ladies use much
lighter-say from Is to Is ounces"
"What kind of wood is mostly
used?"
"Oh, ash, hickory and maple are
used for the ordinary cue; but for
something fancy ebony, walnut, rose.
wood, cocobolo, amarynth or mahoga-
ny come into play. Now, take this
cue, made expressly for myself. The
butt is of solid ebony and the smaller
end of ash, but some are made with
pieces of different woods laid in. aud
often they are carved. A fancy cue
is to a billiard player what a
nice bow is to violinist, and you
would be surprised at the prices paid
for some. The cheapest are $4 a dozen,
but real nice, inlaid, joinred one is
worth $40. You can get anything Of
intermediate value you want. Most
experts and lovers of the game have
cues made to order and jointed so that
they may be taken along on jour-
ney. A great many Cincinnati men
have them.

THURSDAY, AUGUST q, 1890,
REPUBLICAN OPPORTUNITY.

The state republican convention,
which assemblies in this city two
weeks hence, will be the most impor-
tant meeting of that body that has
been held in many years. There has
come to the republican party, grow
ing out of peculiar conditions and diff
ferences in the democratic party, an
opportunity to make a place for itself
IN the confidence of the state, such as
has not come to it for long time. If
it be wise in meeting its responsible
ties, and firmly united to resist the
solicitations of men desiring office
concerning itself only to make
such declarations of state policy as
will commend themselves to the
sound aud deliberate judgment of the
citizens at large, and choosing such
men for its standard bearers as will
best represent the advancement of
the state, the purity of political life,
the dignity of individual character,
the wisdom of a large experience, and
the fullness of a we'll education and
ripened manhood; if the convention
does this, it will place itself in posi-
ton to recover great ground before
the next general election, in 1892, and
come into that campaign sure of
securing some seats in the state and
national legislatures.
In this convention the republican
party is put upon its good behavior,
to make tor Itself record. Its old
past in Texas is past; dead so far as
anything connected with this present
convention is concerned. This conven.
ton has no debts to pay remaining

THE STRfK

Il now appears as II the strike which,
Il Is understood. VIII begin today IN
earnest, VIII result IN a stubborn con-
test. The strike will involve the entire
Vanderbilt system, formidable OPP
ponent for the Knights Of Labor 10 con-
tend nth. Mr. Powderly has waited to
make sure of ms ground. sure of the
earnest cooperation OF his forces, be-
fore resorting 70 the extreme.
Out OF the l35, 900 men employed by
that system in the United States, 1t is
estimated that about 10000 are mem
hers Of the orders of Knights of Labor
and the Federation of Labor. If these
are united and determined they can
weld sn immense power, and make a
good fight.
The Toledo Blade briefly states the
matters at issue "a follows:
THE New York Central railroad
has discharged, At different times re-
Gently, q number OF individual en-
ployes.
These were all, or nearly all,
Knights OF Labor.
''3.-The Knights claim that these
men were simply discharged because
they were members of the order, and
active IN promoting its objects.
"4.-Vicc President Webb declares
that every man was discharged for what
seemed 20 the company good and suffi-
Gent cause and not one because he WAS
knight OF Labor.
"5.-Tbe Knights ask that the mat
ter % submitted 70 arbitration; that
an impartial board be selected to exam
inc the facts as % each discharge, and
decide whether the dismissal was on
good and sufficient grounds.
"6.-Nice President Webb declined
this. taxing the ground that the COM
pany, or any other employer, has the
right % dismiss any employee, and that
no outside person has any right TO re-
view or control such action"
Tbs real issue, however. IS found IN
the SIXTH proposition above, for, If the
knights OF Labor can demand that the
discharged man be told why ne Is dis
charged, they can also demand the
right to pass upon the suficiency OF the
cause assigned. Otherwise the knovl-
edge Of the cause would be useless.
The most frivolous cause might be as
signed, and. when assigned, would
fully answer the dsnsand Of the
Knights. So although Mr.. Powderly
says. We do not pretend to dictate
70 the company that It shall not dis
charge employees, bat IN ali fairness the
discharged man should he told Why he
a discharged. vet he Is really asking
the right 90 consider the cause when
assigned. Clearing The issue Of eli
vsrbisge Il i simply Can an employer
discharge an employs without reviev
or control by labor orgsnlzatlOnf The
public has not much natural sympathy
with the Vanderbilt railroad system.
and il has natural sympathy With the
employees
