been seen of him since.

Plumbers Kick in New York.

NEW YORK, Jan. 9.-Work on
several buildings In course Of con-
struction In this city Is being con-
siderably retarded by a strike Of
union mechanics. The difficulty
originates from disagreement be-
tween the plumbers and employ
ing contractors. The disagreement
is over the wages paid to the
plum bers' assistants. The union
workers contend that, according to
the rules OF their organization,
these boys, who have been working
at the plumbing trade for more
than a year, are entitled to wages
OF S2.75 per day, 1t is claimed that
the contractors contrive to secure
labor at unjustly low figures by
paying these assistants only 81
per day. The standard wages OF
Plumbers in this city, according to
their claims, are 1915 per day, and
they urge that a graduated scale
should be maintained for their
protection.

WASHINGTON AND AUSTIN.
Notes of Proceedings in the State
and National Legislatures.


and National Legi slstures.
All reports as to cabinet ruptures
may be accepted as canards, though
there is a decided disagreement be-
tween Gresham and Norton over
the discriminating duties that are
disturbing trade relations with
Germany.
In the Senate there was spirit
ed discussion over the request for
Information concerning with
drawal Of ships from Hawaii, but
no conclusion was reached.
The later hours OF session were
taken up with eulogies on the late
senator from Georgia, Colquit.
There has been a good deal Of in
formal talk among senators over
the currency question and the
opinion gains ground that some
legislation will be attempted,
though several members are OPP
posed to any currency action this
session.
HOUSE.
Debate on currency bill was the
principal topic OF discussion and
the opponents OF the measure were
In force.
Sibley, Of Pennsylvania, Demo
craft made a savage attack upon
the bill, charging the president and
the party with having drifted away
from their mornings. He was fire.
quently applauded and as frequent
ly interrupted by members Of his
party who smarted under his ar
raignment. Cultivate, Of Ohio,
was particularly conspicuous for
his Interruptions, but he found
Sibley always ready with a reply
without committing himself to
answer the demand for names and
specifications. The House adjourn
ed before any action was taken.
Carlisle has no hope of any bill
that may pass the House passing
the Senate and so grows indiffer-
emit to the result. The terrible
ordeal to which the bill was sub
jected in the debate shows con.
clusively that it cannot be accept
ed as party measure.
AT AUSTIN.

after opening exercises and organ
ization. the,tollowing was adopted ::

NIGHT SCHOOLS.

The opening of the night schools next
Monday, for which Superintendent Powell
obtained permission from the board Of
trustees. is gratifying for two reasons:
First, that they will be opened; second,
that they will be opened early in the
season. They form a feature of our
school system, which is of especial benefi-
cence.
These schools accommodate a class of
children that, but for them, would he
compelled to go without teaching. News
boys, messengers and Others, who, by
stress of necessity. have 10 work in the
daytime and help TO keep the pot boiling at
home, make use of them. They serve
to brighten the life of many little one
whose mind would without their aid.
remain in the darkness of ignorance.
So beneficent is the operation Of these
schools that the system ought to be ex-
tended. as rapidly as the means at the dis
posal of the Commissioners permit, to all
sections of the city. and anplified as far
as possible. No money is better spent,
and no class of pupils appreciates more
fully the advantages of education than
they that after their days labor attend
the night school.

SPARE THE QUAIL.

With the advent of October the game
laws in many nearby sections are re-
laXed, and the beasts of the field and birds
of the air become legitimate prey. Sports
men are this season, however, confronted
with a distressing condition of affairs.
The severe weather of last winter prac-
ucaIly exterminated in this latitude the
noblest of Eastern game birds-the quail.
Snow drifts and arctic temperature accom-
plished what years of shooting could not
have done, and unless sport is tempered
this season with its truest element, the
quail will be a thing of the past. The leg
islatures of adjacent States have turned
a deaf ear to the appeals of sportsmen,
and it behooves everyone who claims a
right to that title to remedy this negli-
gence. Spare the quail yourself, and
seek TO have others do SO. Farmers should
post their lands and rigidly enforce the
trespass la ws, and with cooperation the
noble bob White" may yet sound his
call from field and thicket, and furnish
royal sport to lovers of the gun.

BROWN TO CULBERSON.

These are great days for battles royal
between State governments, urged on by
la w-ahiding citizens, and men who bang
each others faces and bodies. backed by
those who take either a pecuniary or an
''intellcctual'' interest in such brutal
exhibitions.
While Gov. Culberson, of Texas, is
struggling to prevent the Corbett-Fitzsini-
mons mill. and the Texan legislature is
in extra session to assist or thwart him,
Gov. Brown, of Kentucky, has issued a
proclamation declaring that he will call
out the militia of the State, If necessary.
to prevent prize fight advertised to take
place at Louisville Friday night This
must be cheering message to Gov. Gull
berson, aud it will undoubtedly have some
moral effect upon the Texas legislature.
All eyes are turned to-day toward the
little capital city of Austin. where the
legislature is assembled for the most re-
nIarkable purpose for which a Iaw-mak king
body was ever called together. 1t must
either prohibit or permit prize fighting be-
fUre it disperses. There appears. strangely
enough, to be some doubt in regard 10 its
course. and the doubt is strengthened when
one reads that large delegation of bust
ness nIen from Dallas are lobbying i'll
favor of the sporting element.
The spectacle is an astounding one for
the close of this nineteenth century of
progress in civilization. 1t remains TO
be seen whether the Texas legislature is
as prone toward institutions of barba risni
as District of Columbia grand jury.

THAT MHIPPING POST IuRY

To add a word upon a subject about
which too much cannot be said in a con-
demnatory way, one is led to wonder if
the grand jury and the judge who recon-
mended the establishment of the whip
ping post at the Nations Capital consid-
cred for a moment before they pronounced
themselves what the rest of the world
wonld have to say about 1t.
At this seat of government we cannot
elevate our noses in the air, assume posi-
ton exalted above all criticism, and say to
other cities and capitals aud critics that
If they will mind their business we will
mind ours. We are more than any other
city amenable to national criticism.
We can conceive of n density of intel
lect, a Grass misundersta nding of the
causes of crime, its prevention and pun
ishment, by methods which will best
advance the interests OF society, that
would lead to brilliant and final conclu
sion in favor of the whipping post as
great educator. There are plenty of intel
lects of that sort.
But what shall be said OF the mental
caliber of men who would not hesitate
10 urge the establishment OF the whipping
post for the simple reason that such rec
ommendation must bring the govern

AGAINST GRADE CROSSINGS.

Scranton, Pennsylvania, has jury which
appreciates at its proper criminal value
the railroad grade crossing. These wise

verdict of upwards of $4,000 damages in
favor of Mrs. Mary Roberts, whose hus-
band was killed by a train when driving
over an unprotected grade crossing.
While State and National legislatures re-

ohe public whose lives are endangered are
