I T IS COM IS(i.
It may not !»<• any consolation
to our people to know that nearly
all the world is in as had a condi-
tion financially a.id commercially
as we are.
I ill t such is the ease. And the
leading minds of the world are
trying to think out a remedy.
The whole world, or the most
civili/ed part of it at least, is
grabbing f'"' JJT">Id. and there not
being gold enough to go round, nf
course the scramble becomes ani-
mated. and as is the case with any-
thing else the price of gold goes
up, or what means the same thing
the price of other things goes |
down when compared with gold. |
Strange to say some of the most
pronounced advocates of the sin-
gle gold standard are Iteginning to
turn to silver as the remedy. Hal-
four, the conservative leader in
the British commons, Chaplain, an
ex-British minister, the president
of the Bank of France—perhaps
the strongest financial institution!
iu the world—Senator Lodge of >
Massachusetts, Tom Keed ami a1
ho^t of other gold men. have re-
cently declared that the only rem-
edy for this universal depression
t i restore silver to its place as
is a full money metal.
But the administration of the
1 nited States still holds tirm
against it. Vet Mr. Cleveland's
frirnds claim he is in favor of sil
ver. However, when public men
have views on a great question
like this they generally let it l>e
known.
Mr. < la!«•-, of A ab.una. a very
clos • friend of the president, said
the other day iu an interview:
' I Iwlieve, as I have always
siid. that Mr. Cleveland isafrielid
o. silver. I know lie is, for he
has told me so. T he mistake he
has made lias Keen that lie has
kept his views to himself and has
not let the people know just where
he has stood and where he now
stands.''
But whether he is or not, the
American people are and he can
not long keep them from putting
their views in force in the way of
legislation. His opinion on that
question ought not to be given
any greater weight than is allowed
to other public men. In fact the
record is against him.
After he was elected the first
time, and bef re he was inaugur-
ate*,', he wrote a letter to Speaker
Carlisle in which he predicted
direful consequences to the coun-
try if the coinage of silver was not
stopped at once. But it went for
more than six years and the "dire
consequences" did not come until
after it was stopped.
Be that as it may, silver coin
age is coining either with or with-
out his assistance, and with it
prosperity will return.

THE SILVER MEN.
Those democrats in the senate
who opposed the president oil sil-
ver legislation were abused hy a
lot of cuckoos who would swear
black is white if Mr. Cleveland
should say so. They declared
that tariff reform was the main
thing and that the president must
t>e sustained. We are proud to
say that not a single one of those
democrats who stood out against
unconditional repeal of the Sher-
man law are fighting tariff reform.
But on the contrary several of the
gold bug senators who made so
much noise alxmt sustaining the
president are thwarting every ef-
fort at tariff reform. One of the
president's strongest champions
iu that tight has been caught
speculating in sugar stocks while
voting to raise the duty on it.
Even Secretary Carlisle linds it
necessary to go before a senate
committee and explain his actions
in regard to the sugar trust.
During all this time every silver
democrat is standing firm for tariff
reduction.
We don't wan't to hear any
more aliout silver lunatics and
traitors.
Who cares for lore If one may love?
In that the rapture Ilea.
What recks a heart that It be won
If It may win the prize?
There is no heart which stays at home.
Contented to be .ought.
But, ever restless, seeks to win
The heart where love Is fought.
Yet hearts are not all conqueror*.
Sometimes a doubting one
la overcome, and as a slave
Its aftercouree la run.
The heart thus conquered may submit
And seldom will rebel.
But dreams of triumph comc to It
Contentment to dispel.
How oft In story and in aoug
We read of those w ho die
For those they love! They take no thought
Of other reason why.
But Is there in the crown of love
Great sacrifice, this g«m
Of martyrdom—that any die
For those who most love them?

A Toss From Almost a Stranger.
Tho man about town who is alwayw
nodding to people ancl making himself
tigrecable even to comparative strangors
had a little experience tho other day
which goes to prove that politeness and
civility sometimes pay iu a financial
as well as a social sense. He was stand-
ing in the railroad station in Baltimore,
waiting fur tho train to New York,
when ho uotieod a man who kept glanc-
ing at him. Every time he looked in
tho direction of the stranger he noticed
that his eyes wero turned toward hint.
Strolling over that way, he bowed to
the stranger.
"1 beg your pardon," be said, "but 1
thought you recognized me. "
"I beg yours," said the stranger. "I
thought i recognized you, but I am not
sure now. "

Hainan Labor at (ireat Altitudes.
Investigation among the workmen on
the Peruvian Central railroad has
bn ught some curious facts to light con-
cerning the capabilities of men to labor
in rarefied atmosphere. The line starts
at Lima, in latitude 12 degrees, and the
highest point reached by the road is at
the tunnel of Galeria, which is 15,645
feet above sea level. From deductions
made by the investigators, it appears
that the men were able to perform •
fair "sea level" day's work at any place
along the route where the altitude was
not greater than 8,000 or 10,000 feet, , u>. llrc authorizeJ to anilounce Krank

GIVES IT UP.
Henry Watterson has at last

ClcVfland. lfc says lie is still for
him and if we go down in defeat
he will l»e one of the body ^uard
of the party and will faithfully,
thougli broken heartedly, escort
the chieftain to the rear. The
Courier-Journal speaks of his fatal
error in trying to force civil ser
vice reform. Then it says:
The admirable tariff message of
1S.S7, delayed two (years too long,
made some amends; but, unhap-
pily, Mr. Cleveland had no sooner
I done this one act of his public ca-
j reer, to which lie was thereafter
to owe all of his political conse-
quence and fortune, than he be-
came frightened at the spectre he
hid called up, and ever since he
has tried to discredit himself and
I destroy his party by substituting
for a great and noble principle,
simple and commanding in charac-
ter, a series of cowardly evasions
and misleading compromises. The
j result we behold mi the chaos to
j which the all-conquering legions
{of 18!)2 are brought in 1891.
in the McLennan primaries Lan-
hatn received '1~> 1votes, Keagan
giving Lauham 1151 plural-
! ity over the old man. The signifi-
cant part of it was that Lanhani
j beat Keagan in the county pre-
cincts, where Hogg had a large
majority two years ago. Clark did
not carry the county by over 300,
yet Lanham had lira. This shows
that the bitter ravings of a few or-
gans can not turn the people like
sheep to Keagan.

this are miniature ships about two
inches long, representing in the a^gre- j

; day, according to the average rate of
j speed of the vessel, the dummy is moved
in her course so that anyone looking up ;
| at the wall can tell exactly where every
vessel is, or rather ought to be, at tho i
I moment. Of course storms or accidents
may vary the actual and supposed posi-
\ tioii, but when things go right with the
vessel the owners are apt to get a cable J
announcing the arrival of the ship at

j ing to the dummy, she ought to have
reached it—New York Mail and Ex- i

her people.
Texas is a cosmopolitan state,
j but native Americans predornin-
{ ate. The negro population of the
state is small compared to other
southern states and the "race
problem" cuts no figure here. The
state is settled largely with immi-
grants from different parts of the
Union, those from the southern
and western states predominating.
laws.
The laws of Texas are made for
her own people and are the most
liberal, equitable and just any-
where.
homestead laws
Are the most liberal, and her col-
lection laws the moat lenient to be
found in any state in the Union.
These laws not only provide
against misfortune, but give the
family a guarantee against waste-
ful extravagance and bad manage-
ment on the part of the husband.
The following extracts from the
aomjtltnHnn will givp. a.n idea
of the protection which the state
throws around a family:
''Art. 17, Sec. 49. The legisla-
ture shall have power, and it shall
be its duty, to protect by law from
forced sale a certain portion of the
j personal property of all heads of
j families, and also of unmarried
adults, male and female.
".>< c. 50.—The homestead of a
family shall be and is hereby pro-
tected from forced sale for pay-
ment of all debts except for the
purchase of money, the taxes due
thereon, or for work and material
used in constructing improve-
ments there on, and in this last
case only when the work and ma-
terial aie contracted for in writ-
ting, with the consent of the wife
given in the same manner as is
required in making a sale and
conveyance of the homestead; nor
shall the owner, if a married man,
sell the homestead without the
c( nseut of the wife given in such
manner as may be prescribed by
law.
"No mortgage trust, deed or
other lien on the homestead shall
ever be valid, except for the pur-
chase money thereof, improve-
ments made thereon Jas hereinbe-
fore provided, whether such mort-
gage or trust deed or other lien
-hall have been created by the hus-
•and alone or together with his
vife: and all pretended sales of
he homestead involving any con-
lit ion of defeasance shall be void.
"Sec. 51. The homestead not in a
town or city, shall consist of not
more than 200 acres of laud, w hich
may l>e in one or more parcels,
with the improvements thereon;
the homestead in a city, town or
village shall consist of a lot or
lots not to exceed in value *5000
at the time of their designation as
a homestead without reference to
the value of any improvements
thereon. ***«?>
THE WAGES
of the laboring man, whether mar-
ried or not, are as sacred as the
household.
Section 28 of Art. 16 of the con
stitution reads: "No current
wages for personal service shall
ever be subject to garnishment."
The statutes exempt the follow-
ing personal property from forced
sale:
"All household and kitchen fur-
niture. All implements of hus
bandry. All tools, apparatus and
books belonging to any trade or
profession. The family library
and all family portraits and pic-
tures. Five milk cows and their
calves. Two yoke of work oxen,
with necessary yokes and chains.
Two horses and one wagon. One
carriage or buggy. One gun.
Twenty head of sheep. All sad-
dles, bridles and harness necessary
for use of the family. All pro-
visions and forage on hand for
TAXATION
Is light, our state ad valorum tax
is now 15 cents on the £100, and
our state sc hool lax is 12'- cents
on the .*100. County taxes do not
often reach 50 cent son the £100.
cooke county.
Cooke is one of the northern tier
of counties and is separated from
the beautiful Indian Territory on
the north by Ked river.
It is a splendid farming section
and is also well adapted to stock-
raising
The soil of the count\ is about
equally divided black waxey, san-
dy and red sandy. About one-
half the county is timl>er and the
balance prairie with streams run-
ning through it, on which can l>e
found excellent timlx-r and water.
Ked river borders the county on
the north for sixty miles.
Elm fork of the Trinity, Clear
creek and other streams tlow
through it.
The county has an area of 933
square miles, equal to 597,120
acres.
It had iu 1890 a population of
24,G02.
It now has a population of per-
haps 30,000.
The assessed value of property
in 1893 was $7,909,050.
land.
Improved lands are worth from
£10 to £50 per acre.
Our lands produce a greater va-
riety of crops than can be found in
almost any other county. They
have the rare advantage of bring-
ing both wheat and cotton crops—
something not found in many
places.
EDUCATION.
We have ninety public schools
in the county outside the city of
Gainesville—eighty-six white and
four colored. These schools run
on an average of six month each
year.
roads.
Good roads reach into every sec-
tion of the county and substantial
bridges span all streams.
railroads,
The Missouri, Kansas & Texas
railroad runs through the county
from east to west and the great
Santa Fe system runs through
from north to south.
A road 1r surveyed and -will soon
be built from Gainesville north-
east to the coal mines at McAles-
ter, I. T.
GAINESVILLE,
The county site, is located on the
Elm fork of the Trinity, six milew
south of Ked river. It has a popu-
lation of about 10,000, and is a
busy, hustling, growing place. It
has eleven churches, six splendid
brick school houses, two good
flouring mills, an ice factory, an
iron foundry, the shops of the
Santa Fe railroad, a cotton com-
press, a broom factory, soap fac-
tory, cotton seed oil mills,
pressed brick works turning
ont splendid brick, four
newspapers, three banks with a
capital and surplus of £050,000,
and various other enterprises.
It is a live place and men with
money or muscle can do no better
than to cast their lots here.
We have just received a very
large line of the Thompson glove-
fitting corsets in all styles and to
lit any lady.
