MUDDIED THEIR DRESSES.
Two Young Ladies Dumped Out Of
Cart Yesterday,


Two young ladies in beautiful
white dresses were driving in a
uice cart on South Flores street
yesterday and when they came
near the steam roller, which was
working in repairing said street..
their horse SHE'D at the queer look
ing machine and threw the young
ladies out. They fell into the soft
mud and batter made by wetting
and rolling the street, and their
beautiful dresses were completely
ruined. One young lady had
slight injury to her nose, but 9TH
erwise they were unhurt. A Next
can led the horse and cart home
for the ladies and they walked
home, In very much embarrassed
condition, owing to their ridiculous
plight.
Streets being repaired by the
steam roller, might, in order to
prevent recurrence of the many ac-
cidents caused by the roller fright
ening horses, be closed with rope
stretched across, while the roller is
working thereon.

They Were Too Fast.

The Big Six took it for granted that
the Republican Executive committee
would endorse their ticket and had a
meeting called for tonight at Convention
hall with the heading to the dodgers Of
"Noonan and the Big Six" A long list of
the dodgers and they were then distrib-
uted broadcast.
The scheme is a fake and can not
catch the friends of Judge Noonan.

The action OF the Republican Executive
committee was not only proper, but abso-

political mess.

Both the Reform" and big 6" tickets
are made up Of Democrats and Republi-
cans; an endorsement OF either one or the
other by the Republican committee, with
out any good reason for doing so, would
be diSreputable piece Of business.
Judge Noonan's friends are on both
tickets, at least such has been the ap-
pearance of things up to date; Judge
Noonan's friends and supporters expect
to make choice of their candidates for
local offices on both tickets.
The only thing to be gained by joint
party endorsement would be the claim to
use both Democratic and Republican tick
cts, it would not influence vote.
Judge Noonan's friends should be on
their guard. Under all these attempts at
getting up dissension will be found a
Houston plot. The great mass of the
people who will vote for Judge Noonan
must keep that end in view and watch
out.
1t is high time the form of the ballot for
the city precincts was decided on. Let
there be a spirit of fairness and justice
exercised in all the particulars Of the
election. The people will resent trickery
when they come to vote.

ASSERTION VS.. Logic.


1t is particularly noticeable of Re-
publican writers and speakers that
they seldom, if ever, present their par
tisan views in any form which can be
dignifed by the name of argument. 1t
is always assertion, assertion, backed
by an apparently inexhaustible fund
of high sounding, question-begging,
phrases, made use Of ON the principle
that IAN ounce Of assertion is worth
a pound of denial
Is it because they have no real argu-
ments. which can be backed by sound
logic to present? Or is it because they
believe the masses of the people to be
such fools that they cannot see
through their fiimsy makeshifts?
An attempt was made a day or two
ago by our Republican contemporary
to explain the remark made by ex-
President Harrison: "A cheap coat
makes a cheap man" AS usual the
explanation is a mass of assertion as
TO what he menat by it, and closes by
''supposdng, etc.
The facts are that, during the last
presidential campaign the Republicans

cratic logic, showing that tariff revi-

COMPULSORY ARBITRATION.

The subject of arbitration in labor
troubles has been much agitated of
late. That this is the best method of
setting disputes between employers and
their employees we think is beyond
question But the very essence of ar
bitration is submission to the decision
of the arbitrator. Without that it is
time wasted and the whole thing is
sham. Unless the parties litigant agree
to abide by the decision they might as
well not arbitrate.
Compulsory arbitration has become
a fad among a certain class Of re-
formers and some papers argue gravely
in favor of it. The very terms used
are a contradiction. How can arbitra-
ton be compulsory? Any method to
settle difficulty as soon as it becomes
compulsory ceases to be arbitration.
The bill introduced in Congress by
Mr.. Towney has this great fault. 1t
proposes to allow either party in a
labor controversy to apply to the dis
trict court, to require the opposite
party to show cause why the court
should not appoint board of arbitra-
ton to settle the matter The court,
by consent of both parties, may decide
the controversy. Or if they do not so
consent three disinterested persons
may be appointed by the court
and one each by the parties in dispute.
The decision is to have the effect of a
judgment.
If one of the parties does not con-
sent and will not appear to show why,
the compulsory appointment of a board
is not arbitration. 1t is legal compul-
sion of a pernicious and offensive char
acter. Then how would judgment be
enforced? If the decision was that the
employer whether a person or a cor
poration, must pay a certain rate of
wages, or reduce the hours of labor,
how could the compulsion be carried
out?
On the other hand, if the decision
went against the workmen, how could
they be compelled to go to work for
wages they refuse or for hours to
which they object? Arbitration is a
splendid thing but it must be volun-
tary or it is not arbitration And to
be effective the parties must be bound
in some effectual way, by mutual
agreement, to abide the decision of the
arbitrator. Compulsory arbitration
would be as impossible in practice as it
is contradictory in terms.

Some valuable advice. to beginners in
the art of essay-writing is given by
The Pal. Mall Gazette: so long as
you do not begin with definition, you
may begin anywhere. An abrupt be-
ginning is much admired, after the
fashion Of the clowns entry through
the chemists window Then whack at
your reader at once, hit him over the
head with the seusages, brisk him up
with the poker, tumble him into the
wheelbalrow, and SO carry him away
with you before he knows, where you
are. You can do what you like with
reader then, if you only keep him nice
ly on the move. AS long as you are
happy, your reader will be SO, too.
But ore law must be observed: an es-
say, like dog that wishes to please,
must have a lively tail; short but as
waggish as possible. Like rocket, an
essay goes only with fzzlcs and sparks
at the end of it. And know that to
stop writing is the secret Of writing an
essay: the essay that the public loves
dies young

sion would, without any decrease of
wages, reduce he cost af nanuflc,ur-
ed articles to the consumer; that is
that tariff revision would make things
cheaper and be benifscial to the masses
The Democrats used the word cheap
in the sense of inexpensive.
Being unable ITO successfully combat
this position with sound arguments the
ex-PresidenIt, Mckinley and other
champions of protectionism, made use
of such expressions as "a cheap coat
makes a cheap man. and ''eheapness
is akin to nastiness.' hoping in this
way to break down the Democratic
argument by attaching ito the wood
cheap" the meaning nasty" so that
.'cheapness'' would be undesirable.
If they did not mean it i'm this way,
then what did they mean? In any
event this is the most charitable view
that can be taken as to what they in
tended.
If, when Republican papers mention
this subject again, they will undertake
to explain for ex-Presfdent Harrison
on the ground that to reduce the cost
of manufactured articles, to the PEG
pie, is really undesirable, we should
like to hear what they have to say
But we have no reason to expect
much. They with doubtless make re-
newed assertions, which they cannot
prove, that the higher prices caused
by the tariff are maintained ito enable
us to enjoy the higher rate of wages
everywhere prevailing in this country
and end up their argument" by sup
posing things.
But if it is desirable to have cheaI
sugar as they intend, why is it no
equally desirable to have cheap cloaks
coats, hats and shoes. If a cheap GOA
makes a cheap man will not cheap su
gar make a cheap woman? And
nastiness, is am essential consequence
of cheapness why should Republican
want ito have anything cheap?

"a novel experiment" it is reported,
sis now being tried at Sycamore Ala.
where two brothers are operating ON a
5,OOO-acre tract of land. They employ
nanety-four whites and not a single
negro. They raise ell the food crops
necessary for the people and the stock

meat they need, but cotton is their
principal crop. But they do not ship
their cotton to northern markets to be

What is the cause of industrial dis

Commenting on Lawrence Grorl-

pose, the Denver Republican Rep.)
says:
Colectivism means the naturalization
of all Industries. Under it all workers
would be government employees There
could be no advance from one station
ITO another except by a system which
more or less closely would resemble
promotion in the army There could
be no Improvement in methods of
work or in the character of the imple-
nents and vehicles of industry which
did not receive the sanction of those
entrusted with authority to pass upon
such matters. In vain would private
enterprise turn to invention. There
would be but one purchaser, and that
would be THE government. There
would be no stimulus of competition
INTRODUCES improvements. Everything
would move in the ruit in which the es-
Establishment of colleotivism left it, and
the end of the century would find the
world where it stood at THE beginning.
CoIlectivism means the ousting out of
individuahsm, and THAT means the
eliminating of a leading force i'm the
advancement of human progress. A
strange thing is THAT many who advo-
cate collectivism or stete socialism are
those who have failed in the great race
