The senate is now doing business at
Quays stand
The presidents influence what littl8
there was of it was sadly battered in
tbe row with Quay
Ik time of peace prepare for war is
emphasized by the czar of Russia who
during the German emperors visit or-
dered half a million of rifles from
France
Ireland Is again threatened with fam-
ine The potato blight is over tbe land
andthe Inhabitants are likely te reap tbQ
frulj of that folly which relies on one
food crop
The force bill may not be dead but it
has been so unmercifully beaten slugged
and stabbed that nil tbe skill of all the
surgeons alive including Dr Harrison
cannot save it
A variety show or two will supply
every demand of the town and Fort
Worth does not wish to have one on
every corner This city does not aspire
to become a variety show center
A max ns hardheaded as Dr Harrison
could stanA an extraordinary amount ot
softening ot tbe brain before death would
ensue In fact an attack of paresis
would be a benefit instead of an Injury to
him
Dr Harrison failed to visit the 1
oottage as usual Saturday nlgbt last
Fact is he had a row on hand and could
not leavo Washington He that tights
and runs away cannot hope to down
Boss Quay
Wrathy Hoar having relieved hig
troubled breast and vented his spleen on
the rascally Democrats now feels muoh
better An excess ot bile Is a cbronlo
and dangerous malady among Now
Euglanders
Governor Hill is getting a roasting
from certain Influential newspapers for
allowing the Finkerton rowdies to remain
in New York state Governor Hill is a
politician and as such looks out for
number one
= = = = = =
Does Dr Harrison believe tbat tbe
Lord willed tbe death ot the force bill
If be does we suppose the thWght
Of It will prevent his going out behind
the woodshed to drop a tear of sorrow
over the fated corpse
Republican organs that abused Dem
ocrats for being in the way of majority
rule now rail at Quay for a like
reason forgetting tbat Quay hag done a
pcrfeotly legitimate thing in converting
majority into a minority
The first hospitality extended to the
Kaiser after landing in the Czars do-
minion was an offer of bread and salt
which he of course sampled with rare
pleasure Little kindnesses like that go
a great way with some people
It Is said that tho editorial staff of tbe
Now Yorkilail and Express derive much
satisfaction from the knowledge that all
Editor Shepherds editorial bear tho
strawberry mark for he will allow no
one to edit them not even on thesly
The friends ot Professor Kelly the
base ball artist and descendants of the
blue law tramers have presented this
publio benefactor with a handsome resi-
dence at Southingham a suburb of Bos-
ton How John Sullivan Is to be honored
remains to be seen
It 1 matter of great gratification to
know that the boycott ot tbe Southera
farmers against tbo jute trust has reduced
the price of jute bagging from fifteen
cents to which figure the trust had
pushed its plundering demand to fire
and threequarter cents with slow sales
at that The success ot the boycott Is due
to tho use ot cotton bagging as u substi-
tute for juto This is one ense in wnloh
tbe greed and rapacity of tbe thieving
trust overreached itself and brought
about Its own defeat
Henry Watterson still summering
in the mountains ot Tennessee writes a-
very entertaining criticism of Tolstois
Kreutzer Sonata which he condemns
as demoralizing and debauchlnglt would
be interesting to know precisely what he
thinks of Dr Harrisons devotion to tbe
force bill
Senator Evarts whose flashes ot
silence on the tariff bill have been as
notable as they have been welcome
moved a postponement ot that subject to
give the superheated New Euglanders
more time in which to relieve their
stuffed bosoms of tbe perilous stuff that
weighed upon their hearts
The row In the Republican camp Is a-
very picturesque and bizarre affair
The result of it will be that Dr Har-
rison the creature of Quay will bo
soused in tbe muiligatawmy by that
astute and depraved rascal for interfering
iu a contemptible job from which re-
gard for his high oCoe should have kept
him clear
A New Haven divine would have the
marriage license law amendod so as to
require each applicant to have the in
dorsement ot some reliable person If
the law requiring tbe indorser to meet
the obligation when the prinoipal fails
would hold good in this tbe amendment
could not be considered a bar to matri-
mony

to the ugly habit which her manholes

No one cares to sojourn in a townno mat-

There is a league ot citizens in Chicago
against treating The members each
wear a brouze badge shaped like a olover
leaf with the words AntiTreatlng
League As a strlotly temperance
measure this has few superiors it is fre-
quently the Inability to say no that

tom Is often inconvenient and always ex
pensive
On Saturday next final honors will be
paid the remains ot Ericsson the distin-
guished inventor of the Monitor The
United States steamer Baltimore sets
out on that day to convoy tbe body to
Sweden bis native land there to rest
with bis fathers In 1853 Ericsson con-
structed the famous calorio engino In
18G4 he offered the plan ot a turret vessel
to Napoleon III and in 1861 built for
the United States the celebrated Ironclad
Monitor
The strict enforcement of the temper-
ance rule on many of the railway
makes taking a drink somewhat hazar
udos to the trusted employee Tbe
superintendent of a New York railway

It makes the New Euglanders how
with rage and fury to see their political
supremacy passing over to Pennsylvania
Let them comfort themselves with tbe
thought that Pennsylvania too will
have to give it up before a great while
When the South and West get togetber
as tbey will before long they will show

ment was not ordained expressly for tbe

The young man Webb who is noting
manager of tbe New York Central and

fuses to arbitrate with tbe strikers Is
only thirtyfive years old and was no

THE FIBBT FAMILY BOLTERS
The South Carolina lmDrogllo Is exolt
mg considerable comment In tbe news-
papers throughout the entire country
The revolt ot tbe First Families is looked
npon as a mean and contemptible piece
0f business and wholly inexcusable
Tbo situation is slightly different from
tbat pictured in The Gazette a few days
ago but in no sense better Tbe con-
vention held on the 13th was called for
the purpose of deciding tbe manner of
choosing delegates to another convention
to be held September 10 The manner
heretofore has been by county conven-
tions but tho F F s apprehending de-
feat called for primary election
which the Tillmanites voted down
by a fivesixths majority Thereupon tbe
straightouUvwalked out and held a
convention of their own Only five
counties were represented In tha bolt
while the balanoe of the state followed
Tillman
Tbo stralghtonts were fairly and
overwhelmingly defeated and shduld
Lave abided the result That is the rule of
Democracy Tbe majority rales especi-
ally when it is as great as sS to one
The only answer mode Is that Tillman Is
yrr
ademagogue What of that Are not
most politicians more or less tainted with
domsgoguerr That is no sufficient an-
swer He Is backed by nn overwhelming
majority caring less for tbe election of
Tillman perhaps than for tbe ousting
of a gang of aristocrats that imagine
themselves divinely entitled to rule
The spoils ot office are not tbo hereditary
perquisites ot anybody or any class in
this country Tbere is no principle of
Democraoy better established than tbat
and that is the principle that underlie3
tbe uprising of tbe people in the Pal-
metto state Tbelr stand is for equal
rights to all and special favors to none
We know very little about the personal
and political oharaoter of Tillman but
imagine that his popularity is deserved
and that it will remain so until he does
something to forfeit it He is probably
not a Chesterfield but that Is no crime
Too much Chesterfleldianism is what ails
South Carolina They want down there
a little of the sense and rugged honesty
of Davey Crookettand Sam Houston
FUMSTOX8 FOLLY
Farmer Funston is a howling pa-
triot representing or rather purporting
to represent a section of Kansas jay-
hawkers in congress The farnrer
has barely sense enough coupled with
tbe requisite impudence and assurance
to indulce freely in the sort of politica
blather and buncombe about the tariff
prohibition and tho grandeur of the g
o p that takes with tbe cranks and
dupes who fanoy themselves represented
by him m Reeds caucus chamber He
Is a grotesque caricature of a statesman
a sort of cross between Dogberry nnd
Pecksniff as empty ns a gourd of every-
thing but sound and fury and as devoid
of hsalthy political convictions as he is
of brains or knowledge But as brains
and convictions would be a disqualifica-
tion lu a Kansns congressman the
farmer who has been several years
in congress fills the bill very acceptably
and provided he rattles around in his
chair now and then nnd makes a holy
show of himself In tbe house may count
on several years more of publio llfo In
congress
TuoJorraer a day or two aco wired his
statesmanlike views on tbe meat Inspec-
tion bill Being chairman of the com-
mittee on ngriculturo Reed had to reo
ognize him for a speech on a bill reported
from bis own committee Ot course it
was a foolish speech but as abler men
than Funston are making foolish
speeches In congross he too should be
given a show
The objeot of the bill he said was to
remove the pretense among foreigners
tbat our meat products were unhealthy
The cause of pretense being thus re-
moved r they would have to open their
ports to our meat As a result mlll
ons npon millions of gold would flow in
upon us to relieve tbe embarrassed con-
dition ot all classes of industry
That is a very pretty picture to be
sure But does not this sapient
farmer know that the cry in Ger-
many France and England tbat our
meat is unhealthy is only a pretense
and that so long as tbey choose to fight
us with pretenses bills aimed at tbe
pretense only can or will avail nothing
The origin or cause of their pretenses Is
our Chinese tariff Alleged unhealthy
meat is only the occasion of it If the
objection to our meat Is to be removed it
mutt be by abolishing thn foolish restric-
tions on European products Funston
would bar the door against them and
then whimper nnd whine because tbey
dont throw wide open their doors to us
If protection Is such a blessing to us
why is it not tbe same to them If their
opportunities injure us why may not
ours Injure them Why are we not flat-
tered even by seeing France England
and Germany following our example in
selfproteotlon It they should let down
tbe bars and repudiate tbo polloy of pro
tectlon would not that be a condemna-
tion most telling against our adherence
to It If Funston had any sense be
would see that bis meat Inspeotion bill Is
vain senseless and absurd and worthy
only of the waste basket The retalia-
tory policy of the Europeans can not be
checkmated or prevented by any such
fiddlefaddle legislation as that when tbe
McKlnley bill raising the tariff wall
higher still stares them in the face
Funstonism may be all right in Kansas
but It is mighty sorry truck in Europe

In a carefully prepared paper read betor8
the sanitary convention atTIcksburg the pro-
ceedings ot which are just published Dr
Baker secretary stata board ot health gave
official statistics and evidence which he sum-
marized as follows
The record of the great saving of human life
and health In Michigan in recent years is one
to which it seems to me the itate and local
boards ot health In Michigan can Justly point
with pride It Is a record of the savlngot over
100 lives per year from smallpox 100 lives per
year saved from death by scarlet fever and
nearly COO Uvea per year saved from death by
diptheria an aggregate ot 1100 lives per year
or three lives per day saved from these three
diseases This is a record which we ask to have
examined and which we are willing to hive
compared with that of the mm whomade two
blades of grass grow where only one grew be-
fore Tho reoords and process of reasoning
by which the above conclusions were
reaahed are too voluminous for Insertion
here bnt anyone desiring to sea thetn
can do so by calling on the undersigned
The tabulated record extends from 1869
to 1881 Tbese reports show tbe relative
prevalence of sickness from enoh impor-
tant disease in each month and each
year and from snch disease compared
with otber diseoses They thus show the
relative danger from each disease com-
pared with other diseases and compared

A SWORN STATEMENT
In Begrd to tie Eecent Fence Catting in
Taylor County
Baibd Tex Aug U 1390
Editor Gaiette
In Tub Gazette Aucust 1G I notice
tbat Tub Gazette correspondent at Abi-
lene has become quite talkative concern-
ing our discussion of tbe recent fenoe
cutting in Taylor county Among other
of his ridiculous statements he has the
gall to say that twothirds of the fence
cut wus in Callahan county but I have
no doubt that tbo readers of Tub Ga-
zette notice that all he has said was
simply assertions drawn from his fertile
Imagination as he does not present a
particle of proof on the subjeot and be
calls upon me for the proof tbat I pro-
posed to furnish and in answer I hand
bim a sworn statement of Mr Oscar P
Jones one of the owners of the Jones
Hearn pasture tbat was cut Mr Jones
is a young man ot unquestioned integ-
rity and knows well what be is talking
about I asked in my last tbat this con-
troversy be ended by a simple sworn
statement of the surveyor of Taylor
county knowing as I did that be sur-
veyed the land in tbe Jones Hearn
pasture three or four months ago and
was paid for bis service by those young
men Now tbat same surveyor puts up
the pitiful story that he is not able to
hire a conveyance to go down and re-
survey tbe land iut would gladly do so
and furnish tbe desired affidavit it I will
pay expenses Now just to show to tbe
readers how thin this is I am authorized to
say that if be will go down with his in-
struments and show tbat a slnete twelve
inches of tbe cut fence uf either of the
two pastures under discussion was
in Callahan county his expenses
will not only be paid nnd bis work
paid for but If be can get Instruments
enough in tbe state to show that suoh is
the case he shall bare SSOO in gold to
show our appreciation for bis valuable
services but tbo readers of The Gazette
will see that be will not call for tbe
money Tbls is fair enough and I dare
him to accept the proposition Mr Rad
ford wants me to hush and I dont
blame him for If a fellow has no faots
to back him he feels at a loss to know
what to say when be knows that tbe
other fellow Is loaded Yes there are a
few rooks scattered over the small county
of Callahan In fact possessing as she
does In her borders some of tbe most
magnificent building stone to be found
in tbe state this is one of her principal
industries shipping stone for building
and other purposes while all tbo people
here look as though tbey get plenty to
eat and all seem to be In very good con-
dition Callahan county Is very rooky
to bear Radford toll It now but while it
is remembered that Taylor has the ban-
ner it is also a fact tbat Callahan county
captured the second prize at tbe state
fair last fall and when Radford wants
to use Callahan county and her products
to help along the boom of the Abilene
country then she is a daqdy Tho
Abilene correspondent tor The Gazette
had the audacity to call the attention ot
tbe world to the wonderful success of the
oulture of tbe Mission grape last year
and he called attention to tbe vineyard
of Capt W J Maltby wbioh is very
fine and in Callahan county twelve
miles southeast from Baira but be pub-
lished It ns being in the Abilene
country With this document I pro-
pose to bring my remarks to a close as I
see no further room for argument
Now Radford come down to tho Cal-
lahan county fair September 25 26 and
27 and I will see that you nnd your
family are admitted free at tbe cate
and you can stop with me and by
tbat time wo bope to have tapped my
subterranean lake on Mount Airy and
we will go in bathing and drink some ot
tbat lifegiving water from the foun-
tains and we can rest our weary bones
on some of those small rocks about tbe
size of Taylor county and then wo can
keep cool Frank Dorset Cor
At the request of Mr Dorsey I hand
blm a description of land surveyed by
Mr Thomas tbe surveyor of Taylor
county I got Mr Thomas to do this
surveying beoause it was entirely in Tay-

There is no doubting the signs of tho
times Fort Worth is to be tbe busiest
happiest and most prosperous city in the
country this year The movement in
real circles has begun a month ahead
of the time expected Shrewd men ot
money see that now Is the time to buy
nnd they aro buying The present week
has witnessed several heavy lran ctions
amounting In four days to over 250000
Nearly all tbe money Invested comes
from tbe outside Men who plant tbelr
money here see tbat property is cheap
realize that a steady and handsome ad-
vance will come and are accordingly
anxious to get in on the ground lioor as
quickly as possible Tbe olty builders
are at work and ccstly piles of stone
brick and iron co up on al sides Now Is
tbe accepted time for Fort Worth
Every enterprise must be pushed every
worthy project fostered The city
fathers headed by Mayor Smith must
set the example and publio Improve-
ments on a scale commensurate with the
future greatness of this city must
be inaugurated No weak kneed
counselors must be listened to
If a million dollars should
be expended in giving this city what sho
needs in tho way of a city hall school
bouses fire balls waterworks etc let
It be speut with a princely hand but let
tbe city get value received Fort Worth
has 22500000 of assessable values
next year she should havn 30000000
then why wait to mnkothese improve-
ments Let tbe hammer ot tbe stone-
cutter the trowel of the mason the
saw and batohet of tbe carpenter make
sweetest muslo in Fort Worth Lot the
smoke from a score of factory chimneys
nscerfd the upper atmosphere as signs
that below hundreds of busy brains and
deft bands are at work Now is tbe no
cepted time to build a city out of tbe
town of Fort Worthi Build the Albu-
querque extend the Fort Worth and Rio
Grande secure the Denver shops get

grand Spring Palaco of 1891 and do all
things for Fort Worth and In six months
we will know no rival The time has
oome and with twelve leaders of nerve
and money tbe people will take advan-
tage of the time
AN IRON CENTER
Fort Worth can become tho ono great
Iron manufacturing city of Texas if sho
so wills it W A H Miller of Llano
and F R Malone ofJSan Saba are lu the
city in the interest of their cities strivinu
to seoure tbe immediate extension of the
Fort Worth and Rio Grnnde to those
towns and to ths rich mineral lands ot the
counties iu which the two cities bre lo-
cated Tbe gentlemen have been in con-
sultation with Col Smith and other citi-
zens and feel considerably encouraged
Tho development of tbe Iron fields of
Llano and the connection of Fort Worth
with Llano by tbe extension of tbe Rio
Grnnde would make tbls city a great
Iron manufacturing center the Pitts
burg uf the 8outh Chicago which has
immense iron rolling mills brings her
coke and iron from points a thousand
miles apart and at Chicago the work is
done that gives employment to thousands
of men What Fort Worth and her peo-
ple can do to bring about the building of
the road should be done nnd then
furnaces foundries rolling mills and
everything else necessary to handle tbe
Iron should be established here

a taij of TWO CITIES
The following X > tter Addressed to tho
Chamber of Commerce Will Malts
Interesting Keadlnz
To the Chamber ot Commerce ot the City o
Fort Worth
A tale of two cities is old but it Is
applicable to the following history ot
Kansas City and Fort Worth city may
profit thereby
Kansas City boomed some years ago
as we all know She had all tbe natural
advantages to be wished for and Eastern
capitalists were not slow to perceive tbe
chance ot making profitable Investments
and tbey invested tbey and their Kan-
sas City agents bought lots and sold
them built houses an J sold them got
up additions parks heights etc and
sold lots there and built bouses there
and as long as tho mechanics necessary
to build these houses were employed and
had money to pay rest with houses were
in demand but the real estate agents
boomers tbe capitalists the
banks tbe board ot trade neglected to
provide tbe people that would perma-
nently stay In the oily and occupy
those houses tbat is neg-
lected to get manufacturers and
their mechanics and other employes
producers of we9ltb and consumers of
everything necessary to life The na-
tural consequence as many mechan-
ics foretold It was that Kansas City tor
tbe last two years has been and for sev-
eral years will be to use a homely
phrase In tbe consomme alias soap
It is true thatne jp pers invited one
and all manufacturers to come and lo-
cate in tbe young giant of tbe West and
some quite a number infect did so
but the Kansas City people were too
shortsighted to see the necessity of em
v
ploying their home mechanics rather
than to tend their money East the me-
chanics hundreds aye thousands left
tbe olty for other fields their em-
ployers the manufacturers are either
working at a loss a few bonds to keep a
going or have abandoned tbelr plants in
disgust and thousands ot bouses ara
placarded for rent m Kansas City
where ten were advertised three
years ago What distrusted tbo man-
ufacturers and what forced them to dis-
charge the mechanics whom tbey pos-
sibly bad induced to come to Kansas
City was simply this
When a flue residence twenty to 75000
dollars was to be built say by a man
owning a lot ot real estate he did not
reason to himself In this wise Now
then every mechanic employed
in this city represents an average of five
individuals that consume in dry goods
shoes groceries etc the whole of bis
wages and maybe that mechanic will
buy a lot and build a bouse then It Is
my policy to get all my work done right
here at all eyentslt It does not cost
me more tban to get tbe Chicago or St
Louis firms to do it No he did not so
reason and impress his ideas on bis arch-
itect but ho allowed his Interior work to
be captured by tbe smooth tongued sales-
men of Meyer or Andrews or Phlllpps
et al all Chicago Qrins who repre-
sented that tbe Kansas City mechanics
were no cood Nine times out of ten the
local men were not even given tbe privi-
lege of looking at or bidding on the
plans The wood mantels were bought
ready made tbe stair walnscotlngs
carvings etc were shipped tn from tbe
East on one residence for instance
515000 were thus sent to employ tbe me-
chanics of Chicago whereas in Kansas
City that money would haye kept ten
wood workers busy one year or twenty
for six months
The batiks when fitting up or making
changes in their outfits could never Una
Kansas City men to do tha work could
not find their names In tho directory
until after tbe work was done aud then
these circular would come iu by the
dozen to tbe manufacturers of bank and
store fixtures saving wo want you to
deposit your surplus cash with us One
baas spent 9750 In anew outfit an-
other S7000 but not one cent went Into
local mechanics pockets And so on
through tbe whole list of hanks Tim
course was simply suiildal for Andrews
and other firms had not even an office in
town spent not a cent in the city
whereas the local mechanic whojo
wages ore tbe life nnd blood of a citys
local trade and prosperity were foneJ
to seek work elsewhere Gentlemen I
nm afraid I tire you If you want to
hear from me tbe logical deductions as
far as they beor on Fort Worth I will
