Thb Amalgamated Association of
Steel workers 1s in session at
Pittsburgh, Pa. It is stated that
the committee on the good of the
order will unanimously recom-
iIfr mend the association to decline the
■ proposition to join the Knights of
Labor.
S A ClbVboand speoial to Chicago
says the local' leaders of the
Kaigbta of Labor regard the end
of the order in its present form as
a. • a

will be of its own weight, being
composed of elements that cannot

Ah Austin Statesman reporter
last Monday interviewed Abner
Tayler and J. V. FarwelJ, of the
Capital syndicato. Col. Taylor
says they took tho contract to
build the capital for tho lands on
speculation and that at the present
time lands adjoining the capitol
lands can bo bought in open mar-
ket at from 50 to 70 cents an aero,
and that the capitol cannot be sold
now for half what the building is
going to cost; that the only hope
of the syndicate is in a future in-
crease in price. The syndicate
now has 7000 head of cattle on the
land and by January 1st next they
will have the entire track under
fence. This statement is contrary
to the general beliof, which is that
the capitol syndicate will make
more fhan one hundred per cent
clear on every dollar put into the
new capitol.
The New York Sun prints a let-
ter from Cleveland, Ohio, tho
writer of which says that the radi-
cals triumped over the conserva-
tive element in tho Knights of
Labor. The election of additional
members to the general executive
committee is regarded as a defoat
of Powderly and a victory lor the
Martin Irons wing. The Sun which
has been friendly to the Knights of
Labor now says that the Knights
have satisfied their enemies. The
beginning of the end of the groat
order is now reached.
The Fort Worth Gazette says
that Ross is a political acrobat of
tho first class. Ho turns flip-flaps
to suit his audience; he is a free
grasser in the grass sections and a
lease law man in the settlements
where farmers are opposed to freo
grass. Tho Gazette says it is a
friend to Gen. Ross personally, but
is opposed to him practically; it
advises him to practice flops a little
more in private before he appears
in public as a professional turner
of flip-flops.
It is currently reported in Aus-
tin that the Knights of Labor, said
to be 1700 strong in Travis county
and tho Farmers' alliance proposo
to put a ticket in tho fiold if tho
nominees of the Democratic county
convention do not suit them. One
of the legislature candidates signed
tho endorsement of Gould and
Hoxie's action during the lato
strike and it would seem that the
Knights proposo to boycott him as
a candidate.
Credit Compared With Cash.
Milam County Democrat.
The credit system is one'ofthe
greatest ovils of our times, to the
purchaser as well as the merchant.
The purchaser is always induced to
buy more than is needed and is
constantly harrassed by a load of
debt.
The credit eystem encourages
him to extravagant and reckless
habits, which often lead him to
final ruin. Ho has to pay from 10
to 15 percent, more for what he
buys on a crodit than those who
buy for cash. The merchant who
does businesss on credit faros no
better. He never gets his money
when it is needed and frequently
has to borrow froift tho banker to
meet his liabilities and keep his
business going, his capital being
locked up in accounts good and
bail. If credit-is given at all in a
retail house it ought not to be for
a period longer than thirty or six-
ty days, which is considered equal
to cash. The merchant who sells
his goods oil long credit to every-
body who comes along will finally
have to succumb unless ho has un-
limited resources. A prudent mer-
chant who does a credit business
must necessarily make allowances
for bad debts in calculating his
profits upon his goods. The result
is that honest men help to pay the
debts of the dishonest ones. Of
course there are exceptional cases
whore accounts huve boon made lor
convenience sake, but as a general
rule the cash system is tho best lor
everybody.
"Am I not very red, George?"
asked Miss Fuss and feather, after
putting traces of the paintbrush on
her cheeks. ''No, but I think you
are very green," replied the sensi-
ble fellow. And he wasn't color
blind by any means.
