THE RED HAND.

New York, Nov. 6.-The Herald this
morning says that the New York anar-
chists held a post-election meeting and
it was decided to tolerate" or give the
Republicans a trial. A warning was
written in Greek, and sent to the Re-
publican leaders. The following Is
translation:
"Take care you don't rejoice too much
in your hour Of victory Be just in all
things. Do not crush the workingman.
L. is bad time Qor that.) Keep your
solemn pledges, or the revolution will
follow. A violent death to the traitor.
THE RED HAND"
Copies were sent to Mork Hanna,
Thomas C. Plat, Chairman Hackett, Of
the Republican state committee, Chaun-
cey M. Depew, Senator Quay, Warner
Miller, and Frederick S. Gibbs, national
committeeman.

The important fact in this conneo-

The important fact in this cOnneo.
tion is that the constitutional amend.
ment does not make any exception in
the caseof the foreigners who have al.
ready voted. These are cut on quite
as much as those who have never at
tempted to exercise the function OF
citizenship.and the curious fact Is that
the amendment was carried in the
portions OF the state in which large
part of the vote Is made up of men
who will not be permitted to vote at
the next election. 1t will also have
the effect OF increasing the number OF
men who have taken out their second
papers and so become full-fledged citi-
ZenS. These must be taken out three
months before the next election, and
q great many will neglect or fail to
take them out until it Is too late.
The cOEs .itutiOnal anne ndment
must first be acted upon by the legis-
lature to become operative and the
matter will probably be taken up early
In the session.
There are great many good, honest
men in Minnesota, who, il the Repub.
lican party submitted an amendment
to the Constitution to their votes, pro-
viding that they should be themselves
hung, would cheerfully vote for it, ii
it only had the stamp of the G. o. P.
upon it. In fact, they have been vot-
ing right along for propositions nearly
Injurious to themselves as hanging.
1t is terrible thing to think OF the
absolute dominion which prejudice
has over some minds. We toiled and
latored in 1857, 1858 and 1859 to con-
vert men, in the then territory or
state OF Minnesota, from Democracy
to Republicanism; and it was like
drawing their back-teeth to get the m
to believe that slavery was not estab-
lished by God Himself, and that 1t
was not sacriiege to oppose it. And
some Of the same men whom we had
trouble then to convert would ride us
on rail If we sought to release them
from a new set of prejudices, just as
ridiculous as those which once led
them to believe that human slavery
was right and God-ordained. It is a
funny world and enough to make a
philosopher laugh till his sides are
sore. to observe the antics Of the hui
man idiots.

NEEDS ATTENTION.

The city council should at its Monday
night meeting pass an ordinance apprO-
priating sufficient amount of money to
build new city calaboose and get rid
of the dog kennel that the city is now
using to stow prisoners away in. The
present calaboose is nothing more nor
less than a sweat-bOx. not fit for dog
to be confined in. and the idea of putting
human beings in it to swelter these hot
nights is inhuman. The council should
take immediate steps to have new city
Gala bOose built. and the sooner they do
it the better it will be for everybody. The
citizens living in the neighborhood of the
calaboose are worried half to death these
nights by having the prisoners cry con-
tinually for water and air. The city faith
crs should take some immediate steps for
relief.

JUSTICE JOHNSON.

viii Raney and John Hines, young
white men arrested by the police Satur-
day on charge of theft of gold and
silver watch and ii pair of pants from
Daniel Ramsdale were arraigned before
Justice johnson yesterday, and waving
examination, they went to Jail. Young
Raney is son of Mr.. Raney, who run a
store many years on West Sixth street
near the Shoal creek bridge, and was
reared in this city. Raney's father moved
from here about two years ago to Arizona,
and young Raney reports he died about
six months ago.
These men, it is alleged, entered Rams
dale's room during his absence and stole
the articles named. When arrested
Raney had on his person the silver watch
and on his way to the police station en-
deavored to get rid of it, but a small boy
saw him and reported to the officer who
had him in charge and the watch was
recovered. Hines confessed he took the
watch, which he found lying on Rams
dale's bed. Raney says Hines gave him
the watch and that he did not know it
was stolen property.

A BASEBALL SUGGESTION

Anent the meeting of the baseball
league in this city next Monday, upon
which occasion it is thought that some eff
fort will be made to divide the present
series of games into two divisions, a fan
yesterday suggested that the fans of Aus
tin get together with the directors of the
present team and make arrangements
looking to strengthening the team in its
outfield. and getting it in condition to
start off the second series at the head and
staying there. This is good sugges-
ton, and it is hoped that if two series are
started that Austin will not only lead the
second but that she will win enough ball
during the present series to come out
leader this time also.

day at the court house and he reported
that corn was suffering in his neighbour
hood. With Il good rain within four or
five days, he said, 1--WE will make plenty of
corn, but it can't stand it any longer than
that. Cotton doesn't seem to be suffer
ing much
Attorney Andy Houston was seen and
he said: 81 think both cotton and corn
are suffering for rain about Del Vale,
but there are those who differ with me.

POSTPONED BY THE COM
MITTEE.
POSTPONED FROM JUNE II TOJULY |
This Step Made Necessary by Reason of
the Fact That the Monument Will
Not Be Ready for dwelling by
June II.

There was meeting of the state monu-
ment committee of the Texas State Fire
mems association held here yesterday
morning for the purpose of taking some
action in The matter of postpuning their
convention until some other date than
June II. The necessity of this move
mcnt is that the monument will not be
ready for unwilling by June II, and rs
this is one of the principal features of the
meeting, it was deemed wise to postpone
the meeting until some time when the
monument would be ready. After Il
lengthy discussion of the matter, the
meeting was finally postponed from June
II to July l per the following order of
the president:
Austin, Tex, June 8, 1896.

people will be within the city limits of

entertain them. The calendar of events

THE HANCOCK OPERA.

While there is very little being said
on the subject at present, work on the
Hancock opera house is steadily pro-
crossing and large force of men are
rapidly pushing the work to completion.
Up to the present time the dressing rooms
at the rear of the building have about
been completed and the roofing for the
stage will be constructed probably next
week. The frame of the stage is now
being constructed and will be ready for
flooring in the near future. The walls
of the stage and the cross walls of the
building will be run up very soon and
some of them are even now IN course OF
construction. The entire work on the
building is progressing very satisfactory.

1t was very unfortunate affair, as

They also show the folly of playing the

THE FACTS.
Amos Hunter is a farmer and he lives
and farms in Hunters Bend. where he
and his family have home.
Some days ago friend of his informed
him that negro with whom he had had
trouble was 'toting'" gun and swore
he was going to kill him (Hunter) on
sight.
Tuesday night Hunter and one or two
other negroes were seated on the gallery
at his home enjoying the balmy night
breeze that sweeps over the river and
Hunter expecting trouble. had his gun
convenient and handy.
1t was entirely too convenient and
handy for Alonzo Jackson.
Hunter and his friends, talking on the
gallery were suddenly surprised by a
man stepping out in front of them with
a gun in his hands, and at the same time
giving the command, "Throw up your
hands!"
Quick as n fash Hunter grabbed that
handy gun and fired at the man. who
tumblcd to the ground and expired in
q short time with a bullet through his
body.
Hunter and the others went to him.
and they were Mortified to find it was

Subsequently they learned that Jack
son had borrowed gun few days ago
from a neighbor and he was on his way
taking it back to its owner. He. had to
pass Hunters house, and seeing him and
