THE RAILROAD STRIKERS.
Judge King Will Take Decisive Measures
at Yoakum.

SAN ANTONIO, Tex, Jan. 1.-THE
managers of the San Antonio and
Arkansas Pass railway this evening
started a freight train to Kerrville,
the first one that has moved on the
road since the beg ming of the strike
ten days ago. They state that tomor-
row freights will be started to the
gulf, and by the end of the
week they hope to have
the road in fairly good
fix. The defeat of the strikers and
the end of the strike is inevitable
unless the employees in the operating
departments of other roads refuse to
handle San Antonio and Arkansas
Pass freight. In that case the trout BILE
will be long lived and may involve
every road in the United States.
One of the remarkable features OF
the strike has arisen from the attitude
of the people of Yoakum. Believing
that the inhabitants of that town have
shown no disposition to protect the
property ofthe company Judge King,
in whose court the receivership is
vested, today ordered the master in
chancery to give him an estimate OF
cost removing the company's machine
shops from that point to San Antonio.
Judge King says that unless the cost
is excessive the shops will be moved.
This would mean the death OF
Yoakum, which is thriving, town OF
5000 people, almost wholly dependent
upon San Antonio and Arkansas Pass
money.

by the Young Mems Democratic as
ISOLATION with banquet. Invitations
were sent to many prominent Demo-
Gratis throughout the country. includ-
ing Ex-President Cleveland, from
whom the following was received:
"My dear sirs:-I have made an en-
gagement to celebrate Jackson day at
home with the New York Democratic
organization, and therefore, am I'M
able to accept your invitation to at
tend the dinner with the Young Mems
Democratic association of Philadel-
phia, in the celebration of the same
anniversary. hope the Democracy
of the country generally will observe
the day, and their observance will
serve to stimulate the real, genuine
Democratic sentiment which recog-
nizes the responsibility ofour party to
the people, and the duty we owe
those who have reposed confidence in
our professions.
We will thus be constrained to a
steady and persistent advocacy of the
principles which are conceded to be
only Democratic and prepared to re-
sist the temptation to attempt to win
party supremacy by support of
theories, challenged as to their Demo-
cratic character and certainly dan
gerous and distracting to the harmony
of our party. Temporary shifts and
reckless experiments are not in accord
with the nature and policy of true
Democracy. Its best hope and reliance
has always been and must continue
to be in constant adherence TO the
acknowledged principles and plain
and persistent presentation of those
principles to the intelligence and
thoughtfulness of the American peo
pie

Tho True Artist.

Henry Norman gives the following
instance of modest self estimate in the
case of man who is one Of the most
skillful and original artifcers in the
world, and whose works are everywhere
admired:
This ivory carver sat in his little room,
open to his little garden, chiseling upon
magnificent tusk, from which was
just emerging very graceful female
figure. The ivory he held between his
knees, and the tools were spread ont at
his side.
Glow long will this take your l

"About four months" he replied.
"And what is the proportion between
the value Of the material and the value
Of the labor in such work as this when
completedT'
~ paid $40 for this piece of ivory"
said he, and four months work, at $50
month, is $780,
And this man was estimating his work
at less than forty American dollars a
month"; His was the true artists tenn
permanent, for he was willing to accept
only what would supply him with the
necessaries of life, depending for his
actual reward on the joy of seeking to
do perfect work.
"Are you not very sorry sometimes,

that have been companions and part

A sugrestIon About plnners.

The next time You give q dinner give
good one. Do not feel that because
you can afford it your dinner must con-
sist of complex, mysterious, rich, indi-
gestible dishes. No one wants them.
All men hate them. When man goes
to restaurant he never orders such q
medley for himself. He never wishes
them on his own table. Few women
care for them, and not one person in fifty
can digest them with comfort. Al
though such dinners are very common
in New York, they are not given be-
cause we desire or respect them, but be-
cause we are rich and vulgar people
without the ability to realize our vul-
garity.
There are many people in this city,
and happily the class is growing, who
have the good taste and courage TO offer
a simpler dinner to their guests. Such
dinners can be as long and as dainty as
the most fastidious may desire, and they
are infinitely more satisfying. Try to
bear in mind that a dinner consisting of
complex and mysterious dishes is only a
development of American vulgarity.
When woman gives such dinner you
are correct in supposing that either her
own taste is vitiated and false or that
she does it because she thinks it "the
proper thing" In either case 1t indi-
Gates the presence of more money than
intelligence.--Life.
