COKE 0>' CLARK.
What The Senior Texas Senator Said
At Waco.
The following is a portion of Sena-'
tor Coke's address at Waco on the
4tri inst.:
tiie «kadi7ated inco.mk tax.
The second point of attack by
Judge Clark was the plank recom-
mending the adoption of a graduated
income tax. We arc now taxed un-
der a protective tariff and one of you
who has seven children pays more
taxes to the federal government than
Jay Gould. The income tax com-1
pelled men to pay taxes in proportion
to their ability to pay. Don't you
believe in it? 1 do. Equal rights
to all and special privileges to none.
That's the income tax. Let the man |
who's got the stuff pay the tax.
state ranks.
Judge Clark's third objection was
to the demand for the incorporation
of state banks. Senator Coke had
always believed that the government
of the United States should stamp
and coin all the money we have. It
was a fact, however, that we could
not have any money in the south.
He pointed to the quantities of cot-
ton, corn, wheat, oats, cattle, horses
and other products of the south, and
said in spite of these we could get no
money in the south without paying
6, 8 and 10 per cent, and renewiug
every,six months, compounding the
interest, while money was going
sometimes at 1 per cent, and the oth-
er day as low as j par cent on call in
New York.
The money was congested in New
York under the operation of the na-
tional banks, while in the south and
west we could not get enough of the
life-s«viug fluid to prevent periodical
commercial paralysis. We need not
fear state banks in the issue of wild-
cat curi¡ency. We were a long ways
ahead of that time, and yet under
the operation of state banks the es-
tablishment of points of redemption,
prevented concentration of so much
money in the east.
This plank wa& put in the platform
by a convention whose heart was in
union with the pulsations in the
bosom of the people who have a way
of their own of letting their wants
be known. Still it was only a recom-
lendatioo, and If they did not want
iey cool d let it along. The sena>-
tor read section H of the national
platform demanding the repeal of
the prohibitory tax of ten per cent on
the issue of state banks.
Don't you see that? 1 tell you the
people got their hands in on that
platform. They put their marks on
it. The toovs couldn't have bolted
because that wasn't in the national
platform.
MVMUMK K'S UKl lSSION.
Senator Coke paid his respects to
Judge McCorinick's decision in great
chuuks of vigorous English. He had
made speeches in Texas ten years ago
advocating a railroad commission
and has always favored it. A great
deal of stress was being laid on a lit-
tle temporary injunction granted by
a United States distiict judge. I'll
tell you, a cow pen full of little two-
by-four United States district judges
can't stop the people from regulating
the railroads.
The people of Texas will say to
Judge McCormick that it will take
mors than one Judge McCormick to
rob the people of Texas of their
birth-right. He congratulated the
people of Texas on the grand tight
they had made in the primaries.
He commended to the people of
Waco plank sixteen in the state plat-
form on the subject of municipal
bonds. Scan the platform well.
There might be something in it which
it would be policy to leave out, but
there was not one that did not stick
close to the people. Democrats dif-
fered, but settled their differences
inside the family and then went
forth to do battle against the com-
mon enemy.
THE SILVElt QUESTION.
The democratic party of Texas had
spoken out on the tariff issue when
the national platform straddled all
over the question, and after the
adoption of the silver plank at Chi-
cago and it has been digested, a bill
had been introduced in congress,
drawn on the* lines of the plank
adopted at Houston, and every mem-
ber of the Texas delegation had
• voted for it, had gone home to his
people and received their endorse-
ment.
He was severe on those democrats
who had gone between the two con-
ventions at Houston and had tlnally
gotten lost in the fog. All these bolt-
ing people claimed they were for
Cleveland. In Alabama there was a
throat to throat fight, in Tennessee
it was neck and neck, and in North
Carolina the national ticket was in
danger. These people in Texas were
wafting over the world good will to
bolters. The party had a tight here
with the republican, bolters and
third party people: watch where the
shots were coming from and where
directed, and see if you ever catch a
Clark man tifing into third party peo-
ple or republicans.
We have .leffersonian third party
people, .leffersonian democratic bolt-
ers and .leffersonian Cuneyites all
making lots of noise, but when
voting time came the democratic
party would brush them away and
say: "Get out of the way, you have
been fooling around here long
enough."
He paid his respects in conclusion
to the third party and Weaver and
to the force bill and protective tariff.
Killed at Church.
Stephenville, Tex., Sep. 5.—Sat-
urday night Will Kwing who had
gone to church in Flat Creek in the
northwestern part of this county was
assassinated as he was entering the
church door.
It seems that Ewing was surround-
ed by a crowd at the church door
when some one pushed his way
through the crowd and placing a pis-
tol to his back tired, killing him in-
stantly.
The assassin passed out through
the crowd and made his escape,
though there were a number of men
around, and many of them could
have put their hands on the assassin.
No one attempted to arrest him, nor
was he recogni/.ed.
The county attorney and deputy
sheriff went out, but there are no new
developments made and no ar-
rests. This occurred about twenty
miles northwest of Stephenville.

Items Prom Lambert.
Lambert, Texas, Sept. 4.—As I
never see anything in your valuable
paper from this place 1 thought I
would try and give you a few dots.
Lambert is seven miles west of
Weatherford, on the Texas & Pacific
railroad. We have a postoftice and
receive quite a lot of mail matter,
as there are a great many people re-
ceive their mail here.
This is also a good farming ceun-
try, and our people seem to be pros-
perous and contented. Crops are
good. 1 don't hear any complaint of |
boll worms, but prospects are very
good for a fall crop of leaf worms, as
there is a new growth putting on.
which is tine bait for them.
The camp meeting at Shady Grove,
which started on the 25th of August,
is still going on. It is conducted by
Ilev. E. J. Maxwell. There has been
several conversions and a number of
names have been added to the
church, and we trust that a good
deal of lasting good has been done.
There has been a great deal of interest
taken all along. I have noticed sev-
eral parties here from Weatherford.
Rev. Mr. Boone preached several fine
sermons. He seems to be a good in-
structor in religious matters. Come
•again, Brother Boone.
This was to have been a big day at
old Shady in religious affairs, but
from present prospects everything
will be a failure. It has been rain-
ing all day, and is still raining. It
makes everything very inconvenient
for those camping at the grounds.
Among those in camp are Jas. D.
Reynolds and family, Wm. Usher and
family, A. W. Bowlandand wife, and
last but not least. Mrs. C. Wither-
spoon, familiarly known as Aunt
Cordie. She has a large arbor and
and is headquarters for the Rev.
Brethren.
Bob.
Saturday's Runaway.
Last Saturday, while Walter John-
son and Kinny Davis were delivering
furniture on Franklin street, a dog
scared their horse and came very near
having a serious accident. The horse
turned the wagon about several times,
throwing Walter and Kinny out and
then pulled out for the city, but was
overtaken near the Mineral Wells
depot by a negro, who jumped in the
back end ofthe wagon and stopped the
horse before much damage was done.
He then drove up to the store and
turned him over to Mr. Davis.
