Master Printers.

A meeting of Master printers has been
held to consider the demands for nine hours
for days work. and the other demands
formulated by the unions. The action taken
at these meetings will. it is believed,
tend to avert the threatened strike
by arriving at some sort of
u compromise. The Berlin printers union.
acting in concert with the unions of Leip-
zig, Hamburg. Mainz and other cities has
given employers a fortnight's notice that
if its demands are not conceded
general strike will be or
dered. Upon receipt of this notice the
employers took steps TO protect themselves
from the demands OF their employees. and
sent eDliSSarieS 10 Austria TO engage COM
positorS TO fill the vacancies in the event of
strike. Austrian printers commune
Gated this move on the part
of German employers to the unions.
and the Berlin union Immediately
took occasion TO prevent their scheme from
being carried out. An arrangement was
agreed upon by the German and Austrian
printers by which the latter made
u simultaneous demand upon their.
employers, and gave similar
notice of strike. In consequence of this
counter move the action of the employers
threatens to collapse. If the compromise
idea fails of success, the extraordinary
spectacle will Be presented of the whole
printing trade of Germany and Austria on
strike.

Public Debauchery.

The emperor recently sent to the ministry
of justice communication regarding the
growth of public debauchery in Berlin. and
pointing out the necessity that measures
be taken TO suppress it. This
communication induced excited ac-
tivity on the part of the police and
numerous arrests have been made of loose
women and their male companions. Houses
of doubtful repute are subjected to a close
supervision, and public morality has been
greatly promoted. At conference of the
Social Purity society of Dresden. lately
held. resolutions of protest We're adopted
against the governments liberation of i'm
purity.
The meeting also approved the emperor's
project for the suppression Of drunkenness,
bill TO which end will be among the first
matters considered by the reichstag at
its coming session. The demands
of several speakers that drink
shops should be closed on Sunday, were
heartily applauded, but the proposal that
the theaters be also closed on that day was
appreciated.

What the Republic Says of the Work of

Special to the Gazette.

Special to the Gazette
ST. LOUIS. Mo, Oct. 24-The Republic
to-day contained Il long and carefully pre-
pared statement of the condition of affairs
among the railroads of Texas us result Of
the commissions operations. The commits
sion is attempting to make all rates, both
local and through, within the state under
which railroads are expected to do bust
ness. This Is not the case with other state
commissions, with the exception. perhaps,
of the Georgia commission, which has the
power. under certain conditions, to lower or
raise the rates. Railroad men say there
are 10 diyidend-paying roads i'll Texas, and
worse than that there are few interest-pay-
ing roads in Texas. Perhaps the Southern
Pacific pays u dividend on its transcon-
tinental business, but with this exception
there are no diVidend-paying railroads with
in the borders of that great state.
Take the case of the St. Louis South
western company as an example. II last
Year paid ont half million more than il re-
celved. II paid no interest oil lis bonds
and no dividends and in this particular
case 1t cannot, therefore, be charged that
oVercapitallzation of the property has
caused failure to operate the same at 4
profit. No one will charge that road with
having squandered its money on expensive
betterments. or of. having operated it in an
extravagant manner, and what is true of
the Cotton Belt line" is true Of almost
every other road in Texas.
The Texas ana Pacific is just out of the
hands of receivers. The San Antonio and
Arkansas Pass, Houston East and West
Texas. Houston and Texas Central, and
international and Great Northern are still
in the receivers hands. The Gulf. Colorado
and Santa ke is in bad way financially.
and taken altogether it would seem
necessary and advisable that the very best
efforts of both state officers and railroad
officials should be exerted in order TO save

ton alone the reduction in the revenue of
the Texas roads amounts to about s., 000, 900.
Different companies in interest sent rep
resentatives TO Austin, Tex where they
appeared before the commissioners and
protested against such sweeping reduction,
which they stated was confiscatiou of their
property. IL has been the custom of rail
road companies 10 pay the cost of compress
ing cotton. which amounts TO about 50 cents
bale, and on making rates on cotton the
cost Of COMPRISING was always considered
part of the rate. When the freight agents
at the Austin meeting asked the commission
whether they would be compelled, under
this reduction, to pay the cost of compress
ing. it is said by railroad men that the

Bismarck and his followers to induce
Conservative support against the treaties
The recent success Of the Socialists in
eiecting their candidates for the landtag in
SaXony and Baden have alarmed the Con-
ServatiyeS and are generally giving rise to
fears of the rapid growth of socialism under
the tolerant emperor and his policy. Bis
marck's attitude towards commercial
treaties and upon labor questions has long
been known. His announced opposi
ton TO the government policy on these
matters occasions no surprise. but
the indications of his intentions to chal-
lenge the governments foreign policy aud
even to go 10 tine length of revealing Sc
crets existing between himself and
the emperor has alarmed both
his friends and the government
circles. The Hamburger Nachrichten Bis
marck's organ declares that the prince in
entering upon a parliamentary conflict will,
if he finds it necessary, reveal the
causes of the conflict between himself
and the emperor. A pamphlet written by
Lother Butcher, undoubtedly under the di-
rectlon of Bismarck has made its appear
ance. II abounds in complaints and
threats directed against the emperor
as altering Germsny's foreign policy to the
peril of the existence of the empire. What
tends to excite alarm in ministerial circles
regarding the princes scheming is the
knowledge of the ex-chancellor's having
chance of being plenipotentiary

sympathy of the Federal governments with
