Denison. Tex., Aug. 5.—During
the past eighteen months, if not two
years, the railway shops in this city
have been run on the nine-hour labor
system. Under order from headquar-
ters the old ten-hour standard was re-
sumed yesterday morning. In view of
the fact that much uneasiness has been
felt here on aeoount of an announce-
ment that a general reduction would
be made in every department of the

The political Mrs. Grundy is a
phantom conjured by the apprehension
of a politician of what he supposes to
be the opinion of the people or of a
party. The Inevitable result of the
apprehension is to regard that general
opinion as mean and unintelligent, so
that the politician is often trying to
oonform to a standard that he despises.
Instead of asking what does the jHiblic
advantage require and wbat ought to
be done, he wonders what he can do
that will alienate the least vote*.
Statesmanship he says, consist* in
doing what you can, not what yov
would. __
Brought to Grief.
Vernon, Tex.. Aug. 1.—Quito a
sensation was created here late Thurs-
day evening by the arrest and attempt-
ed suicide ofJ F. Thompson, one of
uciao Vi x*
the teachers attending the normal
school. Thompson is a brother of a
leading merchant of this place and
came hero last spring with his wife
from Missouri. He was pleasant arid
affable and made a host of friends who
were shocked on learning that a requi-
sition hod been received from Hogg to
hold Thompson for the Missouri
authorities on tho charge of grand
larceny, and that in anticipation of
arrest be had taken a quantity of ar-
senic. Physicians were at once sum-
moned and for several hours they
worked faithfully and at a- late houi
Thursday night ho was resting easy

western district of Arkansas, left yes-
