Road Walk Out.


GALVESTON. Tex, Oct. 16.-The strike

agents of the Gulf, Colorado & Santa Fe
system is on. Promptly at O'Clock to.

T.. to Galveston, Temple to San Angelo,
Cleburne to Paris and Cleburne to

the struggle between the manage
ment of the road and this
branch OF the service commenced.
In the Santa Fe Office in this city
there appeared to be nothing unusual
happening. Operators who were OH

but no great excitement was apparent.
They were quietly waiting for the des-
ignated hour. When o'clock rolled
around they put Oh their coats, bundled

the office. AS they were going down
stairs they met night operators coming
on duty. Few words were necessary,
and with one accord the latter followed

tofore, with twelve hours to constitute
days work, and extra pay for over
time. Chiefs of departments, Order of
Railway Telegraphers, at Topeka. Chi
cago, Pueblo and Albuquerque have
been notified of the strike to prevent
the introduction of new men from other
quarters. The grievance committee
here is acting under the direction of
Grand Chief Thurston and Grand Coun-

officially indorsed and supported by the
order. The strikers will receive from
the order half-pay during the strike.
The operators are determined, and they
feel confident of winning.
ST. LOUIS, Oct. 16.-The adjustment
of the difficulties between the Missouri
Pacific and its telegraph operators will
either be completed tomorrow or
strike will occur. In discussing
the matter with a reporter Chief
Ramsey said: 1.-The matter has been
deferred until Monday, when we will
know definitely what our future course
will DE. We are asking for minimum
salary of $50 per month. Operators on
this system now get from $40 to S125 per
month. We want schedule of wa geS

Capt. Boutelle has an idea that Chris

"What do you suppose Christopher
Columbus thinks of the Democratic

THE BRITISH FLOODS.
They Do an Immense Damage to
Property.

LONDON, Oct. 16.-Reports OF dam age
by floods continue to some from many
different parts of Great Britain and
Ireland. The river Ayr. in Yorkshire,
has overfowed its banks, inundating
eighteen square miles in the district
of Ponterract. Many families were COM
PEELED by the flood Saturday to take
refuge in the upper stories of their
houses, from which they afterward were
rescued by boats. Dozens of houses un-
dermined by the water have collapsed
Many of the mines in the district are
flooded. The loss of stock is very great.
AT Castleforti, in YORKSHIRE, the sewers
burst under the strain of the great
volume of water rushing through
them and as result the streets were
flooded and became impossible. Bust
ness was, of course. suspended, and all
the public buildings were closed. The
Manchester u Sheffield railroad to Roth
eringham is covered with three feet of
water.
The floods in Yorkshire are the most
serious that have ever occurred in that
county in the memory of the oldest ill.,
habitant. Railway traffic has been com
pletely diverted. The damage to prop
erly is enormous.

King Behanzin is not quite so arrogant

The French have defeated the Da-

fact that most of the dead were found

shows the intrepidity of these fierce
warriors. 1t is apparent that we need

THE TARIFF ROBBERS
Have Too Much at Stake to Easily
Surrender the Contest


Surrender the Contest.
But, rely upon it, the design to col
lect an eXtravagant revenue and to
burden you with taxes beyond the
economical wants of the government is
not yet abandoned. The various inter
ests which have combined together to
impose heavy tariff and 10 produce an
overtiOWing treasury are too strong, and
have too much at stake to surrender the
contest. The corporations and wealthy
individuals who are engaged in
large manufacturing establishments.
desire a high tariff to increase their
gains. Designing politicians will sup
port it to conciliate their favor and to
obtain the means of profuse expendi-
ture. for the purpose of purchasing
some influence in other quarters; and,
since the people have decided that the
federal government cannot be permitted
to employ its income in internal i'm
prOyements, efforts will be made TO
seduce and mislead the citizens of the
several states by holding out to them
the deceitful prospect of benefits to be
derived from surplus revenue collected
by the general government and annu-
ally divided among the states. There is
but one safe rule, and that is to confine
the general government rIgidIy within
the sphere OF its appropriate duties. 1t
has no power to raise revenue or to
impose taxes, except for the purposes
enumerated in the constitution, and if
its income is found to exceed these
wants it should he forthwith reduced.

lightened.

MANY SERIOUSLY HURT
In Fight Between Roughs and

In q right between 1SOuS0S and
SaIvationists.
WYANDoTTE, Mich, Oct. 16.-In a
free fight here early this evening be-
tween Salvation Army detachment
and a gang of roughs five p ersons were
seriously injured, one of the III fatally.
The list of injured is as follows:
Carrie Lowe. lieutenant. cut on head
with brick and probably fatally hurt
Frank Hutchins, bystander, cut on face
and head; Henry Griffith, Salvation
Army member, stabbed in the thigh:
Joseph Peoples, Salvation Army men,
Der. broken arm and cut on head;
Tillie Gracev, all Onlooker, face
badly cut. For a long time there
has been ill-teeling between the,
tough clement and the Salvationists. AS
the army was marching along, with a
band playing and banners waving, some
one threw a brick at Lieut.. Lowe, fell
ing her to the earth. This was the sig
nal for general attack, and bricks,
stones, clubs and knives were freely
used on the panc-stricken army. The
latter made no attempt at defense, but
scattered as fast as possible. No arrests
have been made.

Scottish Rite Meeting.

WASHINGTON, Oct Is. = Delegates
from the Scottish Kite bodies of the
southern jurisdiction held a meeting in
this city under special call in anticipa-
ton of a meeting of the supreme
council, which takes place tomor-
row. The object of the meeting was to
discuss proposed reforms in the existing
statutes with the idea of presenting
their views to the supreme council in
the form of petition. The points dis
cussed were to abolish life tenure of
officers, provide for representative
form of government and reduction of
present excessive taxation. The SUI
preme council will be asked to make
these changes.

MACVEAGH,S CONyE RstON

1t is nothing to his credit that the Hon.
WAYNE MACVEAGH from 1854 to 1892
never voted for a Democrat for any Of
flee which in his judgment had any
serious political Significance but his
assertion to this effect is interesting as
a refutatlon of the Republican preten-
sion that Mr.. MACVEAGH has been a
mugWump for twelve years and voted
Tor CLEVELAND in 1884 and in 1882
1t really matters little whether Mr..
MACVEAGH'S conversion is of date
1892 or of date dozen years ago,
except that the fact that he can
not stomach now what he stood
with fortitude then indicates a graft
flying Improvement in his powers
of discrimination. Not all the credit.
however, can be thus given to MIR. MAC
VEAGH. While he has undoubtedly
progressed, the Republican party has as
individually refrigerated. He might even
be able to indorse now what he sane
toned dozen years ago, but that Would
not qualify him for continued allegiance
to the Republican party. He would
have to go far beyond that now. He
would have to indorse extravaganza.
corruption and favoritism in its COM
poslte climax, as approached by
the Republican party during the
last dozen years and reached only
under the administration of BEN
JAMIN HARRISON. Mr.. MACVEAGH.
according to his own assertion
in his Saturday night speech at Phila-
delphla, "voted for Mr.. HARRISON in
1888, but all his hopes have been disap-
pointed, and from that day to this the
conviction has been steadily growing on
his mind that the general tendency of
the Republican party was not only in
lmical to the best interests of the coun-
try. but that, unless checked, il was
sure to result in not only making the
poor poorer, but the rich more selfish
and corrupt, and therefore less patriotic.
he could not vote a second time for
HARRISON because of the buying of the
MCKINLEY bill by manufacturers and
the action Of the present administration
towards Chlii.''
On the whole, perhaps it is matter
OF some Importance that MIR. MAC
VEAGH's conversion is only of recent
date. 1t serves not only to indicate i'm
proved perspicacity and judgment on
his part. but it, in way, measures the
increased inability of the Republican
party TO command the support of men
who vote from reason and patriotism.
