The Agricultural Department edited
by Professor Stella recently introduced

Texas farmers and contains matter each
issue more than worth the price of the

As an advertising medium tbe Weekly
Gazette is incomparably superior to any

Fost Wobth Tex Aug 211K
A convention of delegates from trade
and manufacturing organizationsmunic
ipalities and people interested in devel
oping tbe manufacturing and mercantile
interests of Texas has been called to
meet in Fort Worth on September 24
IS90 for tho purpose of devising ways
and moans to induce capital to seek our
state and accomplish this object
Tbe advantage to acoruo to the people
of Texas by haviug our raw material
found in endless quantity In this state
manufactured Into merchantable com
modities must be patent to every mind
that has given the subject careful con
sideration Manufacturers are disposed
to come to our state capitalists are fa
vorably disposed but there has been no
united action to place before them the
facts about our resources and the vast
field open to them and wholesale mer
chants This convention is called to
meet the demand made upon tbe state
It is proposed to have Eastern and
Northern manufacturers and capitalists
present at our deliberations Governor
Ross has Repressed a willingness to co
operate in tbe mntter
To this end you are cordially invited
and requested to send one or more dele
gates from your organization munici
pality or county to this convention
Efforts will be made to arrange with the
railway companies for reduced rates to
delegates aud others who attend As
the time is short we respectfully urge
immediate action and request that you
send to the secretary of the Fort Worth
chamber of commerce tbe names of
those selected to represent you in tbe
convention

Among those killed by the late disaster

tioner of medicine in this country
Vue Republicans of Texas are organ
izing for the ray Thats right 1
proves that they are free to organize and
puts to shame tbe liars who deny the ex
istence of political freedom in Texas
As the spokesman and tool of the
arch bulldozer Reed is it any wonder
that Cannon is in bad odor with tbe bal
ance or tbe brethren
Empty honors would be an appro
priate legend for the monument Editor
Shepard insists will be built even if it is
decided to remove Gen Grants remains
to Arlington
All that a few Republican congress
men lack is John L Sullivans muscle to
enforco their arguments and ideas
With that what thundering statesmen
they would be
Since Republican supremacy in the
House is merely a question of superiority
In muscle and vulgarity Boss Reed
would better adjourn and return to the
Klttery navy yards
The Noble Old Republicans in con
gress should not indulge plantation
manners Such blackguardism as
that witnessed in tbe house Wednesday i
° disgrace to tbe country
What a pity it is that Col Elliott
Shepard is not In congress now As a
defender of Roed nnd Cannon he could
got all the lighting ho wants withou
going outside of his own party for it
When Mr Joseph Cannon said that
under tbe grace of God no other busi
ness should be transacted by the House
until tbe lard bill was disposed of was j
bo or was be not guilty of filibustering
If Joe Vulgarity Cannon wishes to
maintain his supremacy as Republican
leader in the House he should rjrovido
himself with a pair of bras knucks or a
trusty sixsbooter Tbe brethren seem
to have it in for him
J L B Emporia Kan Yes there
are more than tour national banks in
Fort Worth otherwise this citys clear

say for only four banks You can
learn the names of the other banks by
referenoe to a bank direotory
You cannot make a silk purse out of a

GodI no Southern congressman ever
proved to be such a blackguard as
Cannon of Illinois has shown himself to

Tariff McKinley has been renomina

conditions and furnish arguments for
malcontents Hungry men and fashion
able women are llkoly to lead in extrav
agancies that will wreck good govern
ment
The farmers reserve their fence mend
ing until tbe winter days but politicians
And wire pulling so destructive of their
bounds as to requiro tbeir attention
much earlier For this reason it is propb
osied tbat congress will make short work
ot tbe McKinly tariff bill and that Mr
Reed in about a week will discontinue
until next December bis peoullar babit
of counting absentees present
In todays Gazette Is republished
from the Dallas News a protest against
Master Campbells report from tbe re
ceivers of the International railroad Tho
recivers say the advertising they have
been paying for was contracted by the
Texas pool when the International wns a
member of the pool Tbe Galveston
Nuws having donled making any con
tract with the pool there is an issue ot
veracity now between tbe Galveston
paper and tbe receivers
Just at this date tbe Republican party
seems to lack tbat union in which is
strength aud that peace which the mouu
mentless leader so feelingly urged
Quay and Autocrat Reed are not smok
ing the calumet and tbe infection
spreads Now it is tbe Garfield club
which is rent because in a division of
spoils after the late presidential eleotion
certain members were overlooked
Great is office and we want tbe profit Is

state fail under the ban
IX THE NINTH DISTRICT
The Democrats of tho Ninth congres
sional district did well in nominating
unanimously Roger Q Mills for reeleo
tlon to congress Mr Mills Is one of the
foremost men in publio life today His
able and consoientious work In the bouse
has given him a name and fame second
to no one In his party as a defender o
tbe rights of the people against tbe ag
gression of monopoly and the centraliza
tion of power As a statesman he leads
his party in the house and as a com
moner and orator before the peoplejho i3
unrivaled He Is worthy of every honor
his district can confer upon him Texas
aad tho country at large are honored by
such men
The following paragraph and jumble
of words is taken from the report of the

THE HOUSE
The row in the house Wednesday was
the most Interesting event that has taken
place in tbat body for some time Since
tho passage through that body of the
force bill nothing worthy ot mention has
been done there beyond quarreling and
growling over private pension bills and
other such petty matters The eufoiced
detention of members who want to go
home and tbe tyrannous rule of Reedi
Cannon Co has had Its natural effeo
on tbeir followers As a leader on tbe
floor Cannon is a coarse gross and vul
gar bully who has earned the dislike of
Republicans as well as Democrats En
forcing the orders of Reed it could not
be well otherwise So when Mason a
Republican from his own state de
nounced him after bis obscene
reply to a Democrat MoAdoo as a d d
liar a scoundrel and a tramp it is prob
able that he echoed to some extent the
sentiments of a number of Republicans
who have had to submit in silence to tbe
contemptuous snubbing which they have
endured for months at the hands of Reed
and bis spokesman Cannon When Wil
son as obscure follow from the state ot
Washington came to the support of Can
non another Republican Beckwith of
New Jersey mounted Wilsons frame
instantly as if to do him up The ser
geantatarms with the aid of frlend8
separated the combatants and put an
end to tbe melee
A cry will doubtless go np from party
organs calling upon congress to adjourn
and go homo Tbat is certainly what it
ought to do and should have done some
time aeo But what a pity It would be
to adjourn now when Rpeds bear garden
is getting to be so interesting What a
jolly spectacle it is to see tbe God and
morality patriots of the party of great
moral ideas clapper clawing and de
nouncing eaoh other raking the slums
and gutters for epithets and language
vile enough to express their sentiments
towards each other while scrambling
and fighting over plundering and corrupt
jobs
SEXATOR DAVIS MAKES A KICK
Senator Davis of Minnesota a Repub
lican of course has not voted once if we
remember correctly for any of tbe
amendments to tbe McKinley bill pro
posed or voted for by Plumb and other
Western senators In every instance be
has trained with tbe East following In
the footsteps of Allison of Iowa
Strangely enough this protectionist
from the West made some very damaging
statements Wednesday concerning the
bill which as an entirety he considered
a wisely devised measure Heap
pears to be greatly smitten with Blaine1
reciprocity elixir and would if he
could inject large quantities of It
Into tbe bill He would have tbe
tariff on sugar and would put a duty on
coffee to trade with ditto wool
hides rubber cocoa cabinet woods
eto Any trade tbat could be made in
tbe way of enlarging the markets south
of us for farm prodnots where there 1
no snob market he favored strongly
All buncombe
He represents a wheatgrowing dis
trict and was therefore an enemy to
the tariff on binding twine controlled by
the rapacious twine trust Binding
twine shonld be fre In his opinion
which of course Is correct bnt not one
whit more so than the Demooratlo claim
tbat divers other things of more gen
eral rite than binding twine should be
freeBut
But the most surprising admission
made by Mr Davis Is that th
protective polioy shonld not be
limited to the home market Ameri
cans said he cannot forever live and
crow rich off of one another Is that
so We havo heard otherwise The
policy which Davis has bsen a supporter

of for yean was based on tho postulate
tbat tbe people could be enriobed by tax
ation For tbat avowed purpose the
taxing power of tbe government has been
used faithfully since the war
But that is not all He Bays further In
tbo same Hue that tbe home market is
so completely possessed tbat in a conflict
of Interests every principle of protection
has been in mnny instances selfthwart
ingand contradictory Tbatdeolaration
s a trifle obscuro but probably means
that tbe tariff fosters trusts and com
bines which are thereby enabled to con
trol tbe homo market and permit such
reduction in prices as competition and
improved methods nnd machinery would
naturally and inevitably cause Such Is
his meaning wo take It of complete
possession of the home market Again
s he right but ridiculously contradic
tory of himself in stating at tbo outset
tbat tbo bill which perpetuates to trusts
and combines tbe complete possession
of the home market is in Its general
aspect and as an entirety a wisely de
vised bill What arrant nonsense
that is How can n measure tbat
thwarts and makes oontradlotory every
principle of protection be wisely de
vised
What a grotesque and ludicrous ex
hibition a Republican makes who tries to
play for the gallery and tbe dress circle
at tbe same time Davis is a dema
gogue who knows and admits that the
tariff Is a humbug and an injustice but
lacks the courage to break with the ma
obine Like raunv others of his breth
ren he has a backbone of putty
LOST FAITH IN HEED

5 O P
Correspondence of the Garette
Washington Aug 25 Tom Reed is
mad Why Because tbe senate ha3
wisely decided to let the election bill
slide for this session at least No bet
ter example is needed to show Reeds
intense partisanship and his desperate
methods to attaiu bis purpose than his
action in the matter of tbe election bill
after that measure had been laid over
by the senate He actually endeavored
to get Republicans in tbe bouse to pledge
themselves to defeat the tariff bill if
the Lodge hill was dropped One of
the men to whom Reed made this prop
osition is on the ways nnd means com
mittee and was a staunch friend of Reed
He was astonished at this revelation of
Reeds despenttion and recklessness
nudsnid afterwards that tbe speaker
bad ceased to ben safe man Ho bad
gone altogether too far in this matter
as be bad la many others aud was no
longer worthy of tbe confldence which
republicans reposed in him Tbe
knowledge ot what Reed has attempted
to do has made the friends ot the tariff
bill hotly indignant and they declare
that be has got all be ever will get from
tbe Republican party
Amos J Cummings has peculiar ad
vantages as a member ot congress for
obtaining good stories and bis last let
ter to the New York Sun contalus the
following anecdotes which are speoially
pertinent to Texas
Some time ago a Democrat received a
clipping from a Texas paper It alleged
that Roger Q Mills in one o bis
speeches out there had said that if
Speaker Reed was in hell he would count
tbe Democrats in tbe bouse to make a
quorum A Democratic member showed
the slip to tbe speaker With grave
dignity Mr Reed replied Mr Mills
Is right Why shouldnt I count them
If thjy werent there theyd be oa the
wayOne
One of the ablest men in tbe house is
Judge David B Culberson of Texas
Tbere is nothing showy about bim He is
a quiet dignified man with a heavy
brow broad shoulders and great Intel
lectual capacity Occasionally be visits
tbe cloakroom Tbe other day he en
tered it while several Demooratio mem
bers were commenting upon tbe havoo
made by the Farmers Alliance In tbe
South Information had just been re
ceived of a well known congressman
seeking a renominating He bad done
everything that could be done to placate
tbe Alliance early in tbe season He
had joined it and swallowed its sub
treasury scheme Ho even went a step
further He introduced a bill as far
ahead of the subtreasury scheme in ex
travagance as that scheme Is ahead of
the strongest protective tariff It was
all in vain The Alliance ran over him
and left blm crying bloody murder
His case remarked tbe judge
reminds me of a story ot a man I once
knew in Texas He was riding over a
road behind a yoke of oxen He sat in
tho forward end of the cart upon a pile
of boxes As tho wheel dropped into a
rut tbe pile toppled He lost bis bal
ance and fell outot tbe cart He was
afraid tbat the wheel would run over
him and he loudly shouted Whoa
before he struck the ground It was too
late The wheel did go over htm But
this was not all He shouted Wboal
so loud and long that the oxen stopped
and backed the cart Tbe wheel went
over blm a second time
A GEAND AKJ1Y MAN
One of the Leading Uembrrs ot tbat Body In
Texas Relates Ferns Incidents of Bis
Trip to tbe North
Mr D S Brown bas returned from
the North whither he went with other
members of the Texas department ot the
Grand Army of tbe Republio to attend
the national encampment at Boston
Unfortunately for blm owing to an at
tack of sickness he was not able to con
tinue his journey but fortunately for
the cause of Texas immigration ho was
compelled to He over In Pennsylvania
where between Pittsburg and Philadel
phia he spent a couple of weeks spread
ing tbe glories of the state ot his adop
tion among the tillers of tba soil ot that
country
Mr Brown besides being a leading
member ot the Grand Army In Texas if
also one of the leaders of tbe Republican
party In Tarrant county Up to the re
cent county Republican convention he
held the position ot chairman of the
county executive commute In the
Grand Army be Is past post commander
past senior vice department commander
and present assistant inspeotorgeneral
of the department of Texas He Is an
Ohloan by birth but has lived In Texas
for eighteen years Tbe people among
whom he circulated la ths North are
Pennsylvania Dutch of strongest Repub
lican proclivities
Mr Brown aays I never sawn peo
ple so much interested in any subject in
my life as those folks were when I would
talk Texas to them Tbey are all well
todo people own their own farms and
have saved considerable money But a
new generation is at hand and the pa
rents are casting about to locate tbeir
sons Only recently tbe Immigration
agent bas penetrated these isolated com
munities with bis advertising matter
and tbe people have only just awakened
to the possibility that there may be a
land outside ot Pennsylvania Tbo
Northwest has dome more advertising
tbere than Texas bas but the farmers
were all anxious to bear about this state
They could scarcely believe what I told
them about our soil and climate When
I told them how cheap they could buy
better land in Texas than trut they til in
Pennsylvania tbey were astounded Tbey
could not understand how liui exFederal
soldier a Northerner and a Republican
could get along in Texas tor eiirlileeu
years and come out alive I showed them
tbe call for tbo Republican state conven
tion an San Antoino That surprised
them They had an idea that tbe Re
publicans lu this state were squelched
entirely au d not allowed to bold con
ventions I told them tbat every man
had his liberty in Texas that Texas is
not what they had known her twenty
years ago Then tbey wanted to know
how tbe Democrats always rolled up tbat
big majority in the state if tbe Repub
licans were allowed free expressiou I
told them it was because tbe white people
here all stick together which is a fact
I am conlldent the immigration
agent could reap a rich harvest in that
country If he worked it properly But
be would have to go out into tbe country
away from tbe bis cities and talk long
and loud and distribute good literature
Tbe farmers there read anything labeled
Texas with avidity I Hud The Gazette
a great immigration Inducer they
never supposed Texas could produce
such a paper
In the neighborhood of Altoona be
tween Pittsburg and Philadelphia I
have no doubt a thousand immigrants
could be got with little trouble and they
would brlug money with them Each
family would have from S3000 to 150000
with which to buy aud improve farm
lands

Correspondence of the Garelte

much friction between tbe Farmers

largely to each being interested in sepa

No heavy losses have been sustained but
tbe annoynnces bave been great and tbe

severely dealt with

Answering tho allegations n said re
port 1 As to the discrimination

und in fuot no unjust discriminations as
