For years "The Democrat" has
advocated a tribunal of arbitra.
tion for all disagreements between
labor and capital, We mean by
this a prompt settlement of all diff
ferences that would insure justice
to all parties. AS a usual thing
laboring men are willing to submit
their grievances to arbitration, If
such means were resorted to in the
settlement of strikes there would
be less suffering among the labor
ing classes, less inconvenience to
the public and the corporations
concerned would enjoy the public
confidence to a greater extent

A Sensible Girl.

A New York paper has found a
sensible girl. A correspondent de-
scribes her thus: At our hotel was
a beautiful girl, educated, clever

ever he was sober enough to do so,
and all of us felt very anxious lest
his attractive manners and lavish
display of wealth should win the
girl, One evening late she came
into my room, and setting herself
among the pillows of the couch,
said: John proposed to me to-
night, went down on his knees, said

Beware of a Cough.

A cough is not a disease but a
symptom. Consumption and bron-
chitis, which are the most danger
Gus and fatal diseases, have for
their first indication a persistent
cough, and if properly treated as
soon as this cough appears, are
easily cured. Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy has proven wonderfully
successful, and gained its wide rep
utation and extensive sale by its
success in curing the diseases which
cause coughing, If it is not bene-
fetal it will not cost you a cent.

The Hillsboro Reflector very cor
rectly says that the worst blow that
place can strike against the trusts
is to get as many small factories as
possible, and a large one or two if
she can. When a place becomes a
producer she is no longer dependent
and can defy the trusts. In this
way Texas, as warm as she is, can
freeze out the trusts, because they
can't prevail over independent peo.
