should continue to pay tribute to
foreign and eastern manufacturers, and
forever remain "hewer OF wood and
drawer OF water" 20 the manufacture
ing industries OF remote states and
foreign countries. The feasibility OF
manufacturing in the south
has been fully and satisfactorily de-
monstra,e-i in Georgia, South Carolina
aud Mississippi, where the experiment
has been tried. Southern looms have
produced rs acceptable product, and
paid better dividend than those of
New England. The cost OF transpor-
tation Of the raw material to the mills
and the manufactured products TO the
consumer of itself furnishes a
handsome profit, and one that will
enable southern manufacturers to
compete with those of the east in any
market. Texas furnishes large
portion of the staple product and a
fine market for manufactured goods,
and the profit Others are making should
be kept within its borders. Texas should
lead off in this as in other enterprises
and Fort Worth might as well taxa

ringing into effect the law of LEVERAGE

bringing into effect the law of leverage,
and the action on the rear axle of the
ear causes the whole to move forward.
This leverage comes into action when
ever there is any resistance, such as
starting car loaded with passengers,
going up grade or running overa stone
or other obstruction. 1t is claimed
that with such u starter locomotive
weighing five hundred pounds less
than the car, will start it with ease.
The differential starter has been tried
upon railway in thiscity with satisfac-
tory results, and has been approved by
the Franklin Institute. 1t is estimated
that the use of the new car-motor.
which is now being built, will reduce
the cost of running street car per day
from $40 to Sl2, including the conduc-
tor and driver. Phitadeiphia Record.

The Late Strike.

The GAZETTE appears before the
public this morning in its usual form,
filed with the news, foreign and do
nestle, local and general. The inter-
nal troubles in its Office occurring be-
tween the management and the Fort
Worth Typographical Union have
been amicably adjusted to the satisfac-
ton of the company and we trust to
the union. The cases have been
filled principally by non-union
printers who responded to the call
for compositors. Under the terms of
the adjustment with the union IL few
ofthe former resident employees of the
company, members of the union.
have been given employment at the
former wages paid, and the Office be-
comes non-union in it's manage
ment, officials and rules. The
company regrets the late occur.
renee most sincerely, and trusts
and believes that it will never occur
again. In assuming the control and
management of its business, in its own
way, the company offers its course in
the past as guarantee thatit will be
fair, liberal and generous in tn.

St. Valentines Dax.

A few days hence ii will be remarked:
About this time of the year the birds
choose their mates and thence prob
ably came the custom of young men
and maideus choosing valentines for
special loving friends about the same
date. st. Valentines day has been eel
ebrated for years and years, but the
beauty of the custom IL sadly distorted
In these days. 1t was originally in
augurated by collection of
young people putting into a re.
ceptacie lot of little bill
lets which were drawn out
as in the lottery style, the
care being taken that each should
draw one of the opposite sex. The
person thus drawn becomes ones val
entine. TO what this lottery leads
cannot always be told. 1t sometimes
resulted in n permanent engagement
but frequently ended differently. The
custom Is followed, more at present
for the purpose OF showing personal
dislilSes and contempt than any other
thing, and the ends are not more sue
cessful than the means are disgusting
The comic pictures which Illustrate
these means now fill the show win
dows of all the shops and are
sold NJ II remarkable cheap

clerks and carriers an opportunity TO
exercise their prowess and TO relieve
themselves of n burden of oaths. BY

mentalism, which formerly pervaded
all these mementoes of that saintcd

christian should hovor around the

A WALKING MOT OR.
An Invention Desig ned to Supersede
Horse Power FOR Street Cars.

Another factor has appeared in the
attempts to cheaper the cost of running
street cars, and thus proportionately
reduce the rates of fare. This time it
is motor invented by b. C.. Pole, an
engineer of large experience in the
service Of the United States government.
The motor does not employ steam, and

weight easily carried by the street
rails now in use. The force is derived
from an Otto or similar class of gas
engine, into which coal-gas is fed from
tank or resevor. After its injection
into the engine, 1t is exploded, and this
explosion operating upon series of
pumps or valves, sets in motion the
machinery. In the first place there
are two fluid cylinders, so arranged as
TO bring the pressure in the fluid upon
y foot, which goes down upon the oobble
stones between the tracks, making n
step OF three feet two inches in length.
and every time this grip-lilIe device,
iitted with teeth and nicely adjusted
for securing purchase or hold, makes a
step the moter is propelled or pushed
forward four feet and two inches, the
step to be decreased or increased bv
regulation from the engineer. The
foot Is padded with rubber, which riyes

Immediately over the top of the foot

cylinders connecting with the feet by
n swinging shaft. Upon these feet
they bear n pressure of five hundred
pounds. The action ofthe air and tl,lid

when the power of propulsion by the
latter has been expended the former
lltts the feet, and the counter action of
the hydraulic cylinders takes them
forward for the next backward OF pro-
polling movement.
The operation OF the machinery is
described to be as simple as the move
ment of an elevator. The whole is
regulated by a sliding handle, which
can DE understood after five minutes
instructions. In describing the new
invention toa reporter the engineer
stated that the principle upon which
motion was to be obtained was exactly

OF the motor wheels. The engine is
steered by the two front wheels, and h

slruction by which, should il run OF

covered what he terms the (iiflerential
car starter which is a new art of pro-
puislon ny leverage. IL consists Of n
wheel within wheel. The bael,
axle OF the car terminates in two small
wheels, running upon theinside of the

largest wheels are operated by small
friction wheels, the contact between
them, being upon the upper and outer
periphery of the larger wheels. When

Is not this greenback business simply kept up

THE peoples property rights, for which they
have given the franchises, in these corporations

Plenty OF men will build railroads or construct

as part owners, have the right to examine the
business conduct of the corporations and inform
themselves to what the just compensation is.
