ABOUT CLOSING At I O'CLOCK.
MERCHANTS ORGANIZING TO STOP
WORK EARLIER THAN USUAL.
STRONG PUBLIC SENTIMENT SUP
PORTING THE PLAN TO GIVE
THE TIRED CLERKS REST AFTER
SEVEN O'CLOCK - PROBABLY
THAT RULE WILL CARRY.

A question OF great interest to at
least two classes and their
salesmen-now being discussed is
whether the stores shall close at Z
o'clock. Nearly II not quite all the
prominent merchants are very willing
and anxious that the rule OF closing
at o'clock be observed. They say it
gives them needed rest and that their
employees are fresher and better fitted
for the next days work,
Two prominent Main street clothiers
have been urging others TO take this
step. Mr.. Washer OF Washer Bros,
said that 1t might have been mentioned
to his brother, but that he had not
heard OF the proposed change in the
hour of closing Other merchants said
there was strong public sentiment
IN favor of allowing their clerks the
rest such change would give, and
that they would heartily support the
plan.
Fort Worth is the only city OF any
size In Texas In which the above rule
Is not followed. There are few cities
In the United States like it In this re-
spect. There is indeed, as one mer-
chant remarked. support Of public

and that stopping at is nothing but
right.
one prominent Main street clothler
said his firm would be willing to close
at the year around, as is done in
many cities If he could yet others To

that they were not agitating this, how

Secretary Walter Gresham was one OF
the :ow HurcCsgcs In American politics
OF the gospel OF Dissent. Democracy
Is essentially positive, and 1t Is trait
OF people under Republican institutions
to be lovers OF partlsanshlp. In his
earlier days Gresham was a hot par
tisan and hcro-worshipper. having
been Jointly a leader with ContlIng
Of tho famous 500, who presented an
unbrokcn front FOR Grant for q third
term. His own presidential aspirations

which he afterwards claimed as his
homo. That state warmly supported
his candidacy for president. but he was
overshadowcd by the favored son
OF the doubtful state OF the
Hoosiers. His ehagrin at the
triumph OF his personal rival
was not concealed, and his dosertion to
the Cleveland cause was always nttrlb-
uted by the Republican press to per-
sonal plquo, lie never acknowledged
allegiance to the Democratic party, and
at the time he entered the cabinet 1t
was matter of common discussion
whether he should be elasscd with the
Republicans. Democrats or PopnlistH.
The nearest parallel to the position
OF the dead secretary is that OF Mr..
Chamberlain OF Birmingham. who is a
Liberal in principle and Conservative
In action. His success. however.
springs from conditions vitality different
from those which environ American In
stitutions. Mr. Greshnm's prominence
came wholly from personal favor and
appointiyo position. lilo would never
have been n popular leader. and as long
as the MASSES Of the people continue to
think Independently the machine ideas
in government for which he stood Will
never make much Roadway III this
country.
