of the party to which the great majority
of them belong, the political state of af-
fairs is in the most tranquil and satisfac-
tory condition imaginable. 1t could not
be more SO. This of itself betokeas the
universal contentment that prevails
throughout the state. There are no bick-
erings, no broils or bad blood. Wher-
ever these are found, and the spirit OF
faction raises its head and utters its dis
cordant cries to influence and excite,
something is rotten; all Is not well. Are
there Eny such evidences OF discomfort or
bad management by the present admins
tration, as these unholy signs betoken!
Far from it. There is not state IN the
union, Republican or Democratic, that
can point to a cleaner or better ordered
administration than the imperial state of
Texas boasts. 1t is doubtful If there Is
one that parallels it in these particulars.
1t is certain that Kansas does not. Her
people are overwhelmed with debt, and
her farming lands blanketed with east
ern mortgages. Consequently, there
is discomfort loud aud olamorous.
There are warning factions rending and
caring each other. The state during
the campaign has been ravaged from
end to end by the jay orator and the
political shark, and pandemouium has
eigned supreme. Four separate factions
are warning savagely tor supremacy and
more regulations are smirched or
ruined there IN day than in Texas IN
year. Politically, the state is in vol
canic condition. Industrially, it is in a
worse condition still.
From all these disturbing and disquiet-
ing things, and from the block-of-five
corruption system in vogue in northern
states, Texas is happily exempt Tn
truth is the average Texan knows nothing
about the political corruption and shame
full Decentralization, the overheated strife
and brawling condition of politics in the
doubtful states. And just as the family,
in which concord and agreement dwell,
is "a more envable and desirable circle
than the one where untilial aud unbroch-
erly dIscorG reigns. So is the state
which, like Texas, conducts Its local af-
sairs in such a way as TO leave no room
or discomfort and deprives the brawling
politician and the factious intermedGler
of an opportunity to make trouble, SUI
perIor to the faction rent and politically
corrupt doubtful state.

The members of the Il. Z. o. E. nave
decided to erect q fine building as home
for the order in this city, to cost from
$50 900 TO $50 900, and yesterday sub
scriptiou paper to the stock necessary 10
erect the building was in circulation and
was literally signed. The committee
having the matter in charge will con-
tinue its laDors.
AN ARAIoRY PROTECTED.
Captain Ford and the enterprising
members of his company propose TO nave
a fine armory building erected in Fort
Worth if the citizens will aid them to
some extent. 1t is proposed to erect
handsome tbree-story building I5xlOU
feet to serve US an armory, gymnasium
and young mems club room. A number
OF prominent citizens have signifed their
Willingness to go into the arrangement,
and one citizen says he will take $4,000 of
the stock. Martin Casey has offered sub
stantial encouragement 20 the move
ment. No donations will be asked for

association had u very important meet
lug last night. NJ. G. Ellis, ]. p.
smith, r. \. Hatcher. p. Nj. White,
w. ]. Boaz, J. j. Massie Gui w. P.
Wilson were present. Extensive i'm
provement to the grounds and enlarged
facilities for the comfort and enjoy ment
of the membership are to be made just
as fast Us the money can be had for FUR
thering these things. About thirty of
the leading families of the city are inter-
ested, aud have generously put their
HaIi nj
Fort Worth's attractiveness, and it is to
be hoped that this number will be en-
larged until ut least 100 families are in
terested. While tue city at present
seems to take no interest in providing
places of resort and recreation for its
citizens, this effort of private citizens
will have the hearty Endorsement and CO.
operation of every friend of the city.
From $1,000 70 $40, 900 ought TO be spent
on the grounds this fall and winter, and
will be if our people take hold aud help
US they should.

with Canadian money, they had seen
more OF it of late than ever before.
Theodore Draz, cashier Of the Ger
man-Anerican bank, thought it rash
and unwarranted proceeding by the
other banks &c shut down on the Cana
dian coin. He says he advised them
against it, and, when the street car
company issued its declaration against
it, his bank offered to dispose OF all
Canadian coin at 81 cents. He
thought it an unjust advantage tina t
the retail merchants were taking, in ex-
acting discount Of five cents Oh every
25-cent piece, OF % per cent. Il deem
it an outrage to mulct the poor labOring
man who finds himself possessed. after
weeks hard work, with dOller in
Canadian quarters. Bleed him for 20
cents out of his pittance. which is his
all! You may say right out loud that
this bank will take Canadian coin from
its regular depOsitors, as it has al
ways done. and discount of 2 per
cent will be charged to outsiders. :"
Several other banks expressed them
selves against the Canadian coin. but
requested that they be not quoted. They
would advise that it be routed from the
market, and that people who would bet
ter preserve the independence OF our
own monetary emblem should swear al
legiance to the eagle and pay it the
grandeSt of homageS-to use it.
With the obstacle before the Canadian
currency its further thrift in this COM
munity is doubtful. The uncertainty
of its market value to the cities and
trader makes its handling hazardous
and Improbable. Henceforth. then, the
loyalty of the East and far West to the
standard coin of the United States
seems likely to manifest itself here
also.

KNIGHTS OF THE PLANE
Urged by w. Ii. Kliver to Organ
iZe for Protection.

Over 100 knights of the saw and jack
plane gathered last evening in the hall
of the carpenters and joiners' union,
Third and Exchange streets. The meet
ing was fer the purpose of discussing
the eight-hOur movement, and OF induc-
ing the members of the craft to thor
oughly organize. President Charles
Alden presided, and, after calling the
meeting to order, introduced Brother
w. ii. Kliver, of Chicago. In a
speech of an hour and half,
Mr.. Kiiver stated that the reduc-
ton of the hours of labor to eight per
day was the reasonable share of the pro-
ducers of the country in the nations

penters of the city to organize, as by
organization they could accomplish
what could not be hoped for otherwise.
The speaker related the condition of
affairs in Chicago when the carpenters
of that city were without organization
and drew comparison between that
time and the present, when the craft is
thoroughly organized and power. He
invited all who were not members of
the union to come up and enlist, and q
number responded. Mr.. Oliver an
nOunced that another meeting would be

WORTHY OF CONSIDERATION.
4 View onnosed TO That Taken by
the Industrial Uuion.

tHC "
The following brief conversation,
which took place yesterday morning be-
tween two gentlemen Of this city. may
be of interest to tho Sc who wonder
at the dull times now prevailing, and it
may possibly lead to efforts being made
in the right direction.
Mr.. Magraw-Why is it, Mr.. Young.
that business is SO slack this spring III
st. Paul?
Mr.. Young-You can hardly expect
to be always on the tOpmOst wave OF
business prosperity. Intervals of act.
witty and stagnation generally succeed
each other, but l think in this case the
cause is obvious.
Mr.. Magraw-You believe it is be-
cause we need more factories in the city,
suppose? :
Mr.. Young-On the contrary, it seems
are supported properly. New factories
here. or elsewhere. can hardly hope to
compete successfully with the well-es-
tablished manufactures further east
until the markets for their wares are
considerably widened. f
Mr.. MagraW.-Then you are not in ac-
cord with the sentiments expressed AT
the Industrial union. in the opinion that
our only hope consists in having more
factories located here?
Mr.. YOung-NO, it strikes me that
they have commenced at the wrong
place to apply remedy. Our cities
have outgrOwn the country. You must
remember that it is not simply the
growth of the population of st. Paul in
ten years, from about 10000 to more
than 100000, but Minnea polls has in
creased in like population; Duluth has
added, say 10000 to her population:
Superior City, 10000; Winona, 6,000 OF
5000 probably; Omaha, $1,000 to 10000,
and Sioux City a like number. Here
are from 425.00O to 100000 inhabitants
added to urban populations, not count
ing those of the numerous smaller cities
and villages. while the rural popula-
tons of Minnesota, the two Dakotas,
Nebraska and Montana have not in
creased In anything like these
proportions. What these cities
their efforts in trying to fill up the coun-
try. This will require much less capt.
tai than will be necessary to add to the
number of factories in their midst, and
will insure their healthy advancement.
70 increase your factories, until you
broaden the market for their wares.
seems to me fare more likely ultimately
to lead to disaster than benefit to the
cities.
Mr.. Magraw-Yes; but that is some
thing which would have to be done by
the state governments.
Mr.. YOung-On the contrary, it could
be done much more effectively and mex
penSlbly by private enterprise If prop
erly conducted. | believe that $4,000
OF. at most, 5000, used in this behalf.
would accomplish far more for this city
than the fanced million dollars which
the Industrial Union proposes to appro-
pirate in bringing manufactures here.
And, another thing, if you fill up the
country and create the market, the
factories will come of their own accord.
