Forming a Ladies' Club on the Heights
-"Smokers" Popular.
Yesterday brought the Hudson County
Wheelmen out in full force. Several of
the boys slipped on their uniforms, oiled
their wheels and started out on a run for
Newark. The roads, although frozen,
were in fine condition and the run was
greatly enjoyed.
The great success of the recent
''smoker" given by the Hudson County
Wheelmen has settled a new monthly
amusement in the minds of the Enter
tainment Committee. The boys want a
smoker once a month and they will
probably be held regularly until the OPEN
ing of the cycling season.
The outlook is that a ladies' cycling
club will be organized on the Heights by
the opening of the season. The Misses
Collerd have become expert cyclists and
are doing all in their power to arouse in
terest i'll this pastime among their lady
acquaintance. A club of at least twenty
ladies will be ready to go on run by the
first of May. 1t Is probable that the ladies
will not depend upon their gentlemen
friends to escort them on their runs in the
future.

THE HOMESTEAD FAILURE.

AS The STATESMAN predicted, the
workmen at the Carnegie mills have
lost the day. Such result was in
evitable from the first. The soldiers
have possession of the mills, and are
preparing to put in non-union work.
men. 1t would be worse than folly
to attempt resistance, and there is no
probability that they will make any
such attempt. The soldiers scorn-
fully reject any proposition for con-
ference, and the managers decline to
receive committee from the work
men. They are given to understand
that they are to be regarded as law
breakers for whom no terms are
suitable except unconditional surren-
der. To make matters worse,
the leaders are to be prosecuted, the
evidence which is TO convict them
being furnished by detectives who
were concealed in the mills during the
battle, with kodaks, which enabled
them to get pictures at various stages
of the battle. To such lengths has
monopoly gone in this country! The
generalization of this whole affair be-
comes evident through this circum-
stance. The Pinkertons were sent to
the mills with the deliberate design
to arouse mems passions and bring
about trouble, and the detectives with
kodaks were posted beforehand to Sc
cure the evidence needed against
he employees of the mills

THE DINKERTONS.

The Pinkerton question is plainly
stated by the Atlanta Constitution.
If a man has a right to employ an
army of 100 or 800 men, says the Con-
stitution, he has right to employ
10000 or 10000. There is practically
no limit to his power to compel the
world to accede to his demands. Send.
ing 300 Pinkertons to Homestead, with
instructions to shoot if need be, he
was just as guilty as though he had
hired a professional assassin to put
out of the way some man whom he
disliked. If he had done this last,
and his crime had been proven, he
would have been punished in all
probability, even though he were
Andrew Carnegie; but being Andrew
Carnegie, he hires his 800 assassins
instead of one, and sends them to do
his will without the slightest attempt
at any legal formality. If Carnegie
may do this, so may any other
man who has the money to
pay the expenses. Are we to see
America turned into stronghold
of such despotism as this?-a despot-
ism Of money, backed up by uniformed
thugs to carry out it's wishes? 1t is
time for the American people to do a
little thinking. If restraining hand
is not laid upon such men as Carnegie
the people will soon have to fight for
the mere right to live in America.
Down with Pinkertons everywhere!
Treat them and their masters as the
criminals they are and teach them
that feudal rights and armed bands
of retainers cannot flourish on Ameri-
can soil.
The Austin weekly statesman. (Austin, Tex.) 1883-1898, 1892-07-21

And yet, these work
men were in the right.
They had been given the alternative
OF reduction, which amounted to
robbery, or to see their places supplied
by scabs. They refused the former and
were locked out. Then the Pinkertons
came. And now, although the work
men have lost the day, they have
gained something's for the world. They
have aroused public sentiment into a
storm of Indignation against Carne-
gle in his Scotch castle and the party
that has created such power as his;
and they have started a feeling in
every state that will not rest until
every legislature shall put it out OF
the power of trusts and monopolies to
fight their battles with armed Pink
ertons. Taken altogether, this Home
stead failure may come to be consid-
cred the greatest success of modern
times.

CHARGE OF THE LIGHT BRIGADE.
One of the Cavalrymen Writes of That
Terrible Sacrifice of Life.

Terrible Sacrifice of Life.
Close in! close in! was the constant COM
mand of the squadron and troop officers as
the casualties made gaps in the ragged
line, but the order was scarcely needed, for
of their own instance, and as it seemed
mechanically, men and horses alike sought
to regain the touch.
We had not broken into the charging
pace when poor old John Lee, my right
hand man on the flank of the regiment,
was all but smashed by shell. He gave
pay arm twitch as with strange smile
on his worn old face he quietly said,
Domino! chum," and fell out of the sad
die. His old gray mare kept alongside Of
me for some distance, treading on and
tearing out her entrails as she galloped,
till at length she dropped with a strange
Shrek.
My comrade, Peter Marsh, was my left
hand man; next beyond him was Private
Dudley. The explosion of shell had
swept down four or five men on Dudley's
left, and heard him ask Marsh if he had
noticed what hole that d shell had
made" on his left front. Hold your foul
mouthed tongue" answered Peter,
swearing like BLACKBOARD when you
may be knocked into eternity next min.

Just then l got musket ball through
my right knee and another in the shin,
and my horse had three bullet wounds in
the neck. Man and horse were bleeding
so fast that Marsh begged me to fall out,
but would not, pointing out that in
few minutes we must be into them, and SO
l sent my spurs well home, and faced it
out with my comrades.
1t was about this time that Sergeant
Talbot had his head clean carried off by a
round shot. yet for about thirty yards fur.
Their the headless body kept the saddle, the
lance at the charge firmly gripped under
the right arm.

dents of the charge, but amid the crash OF

ALWAYS Fixed His Hair,

Judge Pratt was one of the most partic
ular judges we ever had on the bench. He
had long hair, and as he wore SLOUGH hal
his locks were disarranged frequently. A
lawyer would very often make the mistake
of addressing him before he was ready tc
open the case. Judge Pratt was very fond
of sitting down hard upon young practi
TONERS, and he had sat down with particu.
lar zest upon certain young southern
lawyer, who shall be nameless. Pratt liked
to fix his hair carefully with his fingers
before the court was declared open, and il
a lawyer tried to hasten matters Pratt
would say with intense severity, "Please
wait, sirl until have said, sir! that the
court sir! is ready to hear you, sirl"
On one occasion the young attorney, who
had come across on the Oakland boat and
was feeling fresh, said
II beg your pardon, sir, but you have
dropped your pocket comb, and am afraid
it will get away unless you claim it.

DALLAS, Tex, July 16.-The battle
has been fought, and Dallas county
declares for George Clark. He has
carried every ward in the city, which
gives him rs votes in the county con-
vention, Oak Cliff votes, Oaklawn 2
votes, Jewalls 2 and Lagoon l, making
" votes out of the 1852. Hogg swept
the county, carrying all the towns
outside of Dallas. In most of the
wards in the city the Clark vote was
nearly two to one. The Hogg men
bolted in the Second ward, which has
eleven votes, and will carry the
fight into the convention, which
meets next Tuesday. In the
Twelfth there was great disorder
and in that ward two sets of delegates
were elected. The Clark men claimed
to have large majority. The Hogg
men swear that Republicans and nom
residents were voted. The conserva-
tive Hogg men admit that Clark has
fairly won the county. The Fifth, the
labor ward, instructed for Golden and
went for Clark. The streets are
crowded with jubilant Clark men to-
night, and they are making Rome
howl. 1t looks like bolt next Tues

WILLIAMSON COUNTY AND THE
JUDICIAL CONVENTION.

In a spirit of perfect fairness THE
STATESMAN this morning publishes
the communication from Mr.. j. f,
Cooper giving the Williamson county
side of the late judicial convention
No one for moment questions Will
hanson county's right to adhere 10y
ally to the interests of her own candi-
date, but we fail to see how that can
alter the result as lawfully declared
by the majority of the judicial conven-
ton. The case seems to be this:
Travis county had thirteen votes in
structed for one man, Williamson
county had ten instructed for another.
1t was useless for tie minority TO try
to nominate its candidate, and the
majority could not secure the neces-
sary two-thirds. A compromise must
be effected. The minority wanted to
effect it by naming some third man,
the majority opposed this and favored
endorsing both candidates and turn
ing them loose. TO this the minority
objected, yet over their protest it was
done. When it was done by the ma
iority of the convention it became
the act of the convention and
upon its adjournment by the
same majority will, it became the
final act of the convention. The notice
given Travis by Williamson that its
delegates would in case of adjourn
ment remain in the hall and make
nomination has no weight in the
premises. They had an opportunity
then or any later date to meet and in
dorse Mr.. Cochran, but to put him be-
fore the people as the nominee OF the
judicial convention was outside and
beyond their power.
The STATESMAN is exceedingly
sorry that the case is as it is. Unity
and concord are so essential to the
be It Democratic success that it would
have been infinitely better for NOM
nation to have been made, and it
may yet turn out that this will have
to be done. If it shall come to this

and all the barges went ashore. An
unknown vessel went ashore five

Oily Lamps on Horse Car Seats.

Who has not noticed tbS conductors in
surface cars when the hour arrives for
lighting the car lamps? With what SUI
preme unconcern they take the oily lamps
from their places and calmly set them on
the cushions, intended for the passengers,
while they light them.
Naturally the seats where the lamps
have been are smeared with the oil, and
one does not like to think how many ex.
pensive dresses made of delicate stuffs
have been ruined by just such ineXcusable
carelessness
Then when it comes to the big lamp in
the middle of the car, the conductor, as
usual, puts it on the cushion and then
climbs up on the seat with both his dirty
feet in order to fix the lamp more securely
in it's place. One cannot help thinking
that the place to fix the lamps is at the
stables.-New York Herald.
