THE FIRST BALE.
1t Struck Fort Worth Last FvenIng-D. II.
Dill OF BirdvIIle thu EnterpTising
Nan-His Intention.

Fort Worth's, in fact Tarrant couuty's
frat bale of cotton reached the market
at $50 o'clock last evening.
d. NJ. Dill is the enterprising and
energetic planter who produced it, and
he drove it in person to this city. He
resides on his farm about seven miles
east of Fort Worth, a mile south of
Birdville
The bale reached the city too late TO be
disposed of last evening, so was housed
at the McBryde wagon yard.
The cotton is OF good texture and free
from deleterious substances, and will
probably class good middliug. Mr.. Dill
has raised seven bales this year. He
says that in places the crop is somewhat
short, but on the whole it will make q
good showing, and the farmers will have
no reason to bemoan the result of their
operations for the year 1890.
1t is Mr.. Dhl's intention to present this
bale to the city, to make what disposition
of it seems best to tne authorities. This
morning he will place himself at the dis
posal of the officials to dispose of the
cotton as directed.

that. The two-thirds rule will come up
for discussion, and without doubt will
cause some pretty hot work. No effort
of course will be made to abrogate 1t +,
until Hogg's nomination shall have
taken place. Those opposed to 1t are
chatting the advisability of voting it
down Immediately after nominating the
head Of the ticket, or of allowing it to
prevail during the present convention,
and inserting plank IN the platform de-
claring that two-thirds rule is chest
nut, undemocratic and mischivous. The
discussion of either proposition is apt to
be pretty warm, and eloquence galore
will resound through the convention
hall on either side.
Workman appears to be in the lead for
treasurer, although Saddler's instructed
vote exceeds his by fourteen. Powerful
influence Is expected to pull Workman
through.
McGaughey has the inside track for
land commissioner, and Professor Hogg
appears to be gaining ground for super
lntendent Of public instruction.
A plank favoring the Austr allan bal
lot system, and one opposing the lease
law, will be proposed, and warmly con-
tested. In fact warm time in general
is anticipated.

MERE CHILD'S PLAY.

The strike on the New York Central
and other Vanderbilt lines was certainly
most ill-advised. It was declared sud-
denly and evidently without due consid-
GRAFTON by the local assembly. We have
the word of Mr.. Holland, member OF
the executive board for this. He states
his surprise at finding mention of the
strike in the morning papers after be
had been in consultation with the local
assembly on the day previous, when the
matter in dispute was under discussion.
The assembly lost its head and tele-
graphed the order that is to result most
GIsnstrously for all concerned.
The grievance omplained of was not
actual, but adopted. There was no
question of wages, or of unusual hours,
or arduous labor. Nothing of the sort.
1t was simply question of whether the
Central railroad had q right to employ
switchmen and trainmen who were not
knights of Labor. For insisting that
they had the strike was foolishly ordered,
the wheels of commerce blocked, in
finite damage done, the public discom-
moded, vexed and annoyed, and an
army of breadwinners thrown out of en-
ployment to go hungry tor many days
perhaps. In view of the failure of past
strikes that had better reasons than this
one back of them, the action of the local
assembly was most fatuous and foolish.
When there are half dozen men wait
ing for job, it is the height of folly
for the one man to throw up his place in
the vain hope that work must stop
until he shall be taken back on his own
terms. He simply butts his head
ag linst stone wall when he does SO. A
strike under such conditions is bound to
be a failure and none but children would
hink otherwise.

BLALNE' THINNING HAND.

The reception accorded by Republican
TO Blaine's scheme of reciprocity has
| upon the whole, been quite gratifying to
the secretary, while, on the other hand
it must have a contrary effect on the
| Reed Mckinley gang of tariff defender.
and slush fund providers. There is very
little, to be sure, in the specific article OF
reciprocity, or "friendly barter" pro-
mulgated by the Maine statesman, but
it initiates change from the everlasting
tariff, makes q breach in the Chinese
wall of tariff monopoly, and gives the
taX-ridden brethren q glimpse of ex
plus of products, all of which is rather
alluring and captiviting. If the half
and-half article of reciprocity, the some
what thin and deceptive species OF
"friendly barter'' offered by the secre-
tary be SO acceptable to Republicans
how much more so would il be il mad a
broader and more expansive? Three
Republican states have already publicly
commended the idea, and the Republican
press has smiled upon it quite generally
II they are so well pleased with half or
quarter loaf, what would they say l.
given the full loaf, or, what is bette r
still, the run of the bakery?
Such reflections as these most certainly
come to worry and harrass the minds of
the Harrison Reed Mckinley gang of fat
fryers and election manipulators at a
time when they are in the very act of re-
deeming their election promises to the
tariff barons. Blaine, too, must see his
advantage, and have his ideas of friendly
barter quickened and expanded by the
friendly acceptance accorded them
among the masses of his party. 1t is
hardly to be expected, therefore, if he
cherishes any political ambition, that he
will forego that advantage, and permit
the opposing gang to put him in hole by
the Juggling arts of the politician.
Blaine holds a winning hand if he
chooses to play it for all that 1t is worth,
and that he will do SO. now seems
probable.

Ark. was assassinated at his home last
week. Suspicion at the time fell upo n
DR.. Chisholm, q prominent citizen of
the same town, but sufficient proof was
not at hand to warrant an arrest. Dur

now in session at Lewisville, SUFFICIENT
evidence was adduced to warrant the ar
rest of Chisholm, and he was placed

is well-to-do, and has many friends. A

by his attorney, and arguments will be
heard on 1t at this place on Wednesday
next before Judge Mitchell.

The work of the convention begins to-
day. Whether 1t will be characterized
By harmony or not remains to be seen.
There viii probably be a contention over
the effort to insert commission plank in
the platform, but 1t will go in all the
same. That seems to be inevitable. OF
course Hogg's nomination is foregone
conclusion. There is no doubt about
