the District of Columbia to the national
mt Chicago. But since that
eloquent nominating speech in 1876 a
change has come over the spirit of Col.
Ingersoll's dreams. He IL still among
the scoiiers and carnal minded as to
things religious, but he does not walk
in the Blaine procession nowadays.
And Ingersoll wanted to be n delegate,
us we have said. He went into the
muck and miro of the Washington
primaries and came out badly dis

him and they scooped him, by setting
the negro Carson after him. Carson

The Renuhlioan County Meetingl

The Republican County Meetings.
The Republicans, in most of the
counties Of this state, had meetings
Saturday and selected delegates from
each county TO the state convention Of
their party, which is to meet In this
city next week. AS rule these meet
ings appear to have been harmonious
enough, save at Galveston and Dallas,
where there ID always II ruInpus ON
such occasions. 1t Is almost too early
yet to venture an estimate as to the
preference of the state convention for
the presidential nomination. The
only data we have az basis In making
up such an estimate is the complexion
of the delegations accredited by the
several counties TO the state cOnven-
tlon. Bnt enough may be cleaned
from the dispatches sent us from vari-
GUS points throughout the state to
show that great many Arthur men
are coming 10 Fort Worth; that u
goodly number Of Blaine's admirers
will be here; that Senator Edmunds
will not DO without his friends, anc
that Republicans whoswear by Loga,
will be few and far between. The Ar
thur element undoubtedly predomi
mates, which Is natural and shows thu
the patronage machine has got In II
work. Next to Arthur, and yer,
close, too, Ia the Blaine crowd. An
putting all the facts we have together
1t looks very much us though thes
delegates will give expression To thei
sentiments by selecting a set OF Al

Gillespie Blaine as second choice. w

The history Of Fort Worth has been
a history Of triumphs. She has never
attempted anything she did not accom-.
plish, and she has never felt the need
of anything that she did not set out to
accomplish. 1t is this aggressiveness
of action and determination of pur-
pose that have Justly given her the rep

| in Texas A review OF the events of
the past year gives an exhibit of prog
ress equalled by no city of the size of
Fort Worth in the United States. The
lack of proper and adequate water
supply first demanded remedy, and,
sustained by the city's guarantees,
private enterprise constructed here the
finest water-works system in the state.
Our streets were composed OF the vir-
gin mud OF the prairies. The city voted
and issued its bonds, and with the
J money from their sale graded and
i macadamized all the principal streets
{ OF the city, making them as firm and
3 passahle rs granite beds. The health
: of our people next demanded atten-
8 ton, and sanitarians advised the
!, construction of drainage system. In
II response TO this demand, more
y bonds We're issued, and
@ sewers We're made through the centra
II streets, atlording an escape for refus,
Ie and deleterious matter. BY an almos
X unanimous vote the city's schools wer
N taken in hand, and several extensiv

An Egyptian Custom.

1t is stated that the ancient
Egyptians" when they feasted al
ways had a skeleton at the table
with them. This was for the pur-
pose of reminding them that even
in the midst of mirth and revelry
death was apt to come. Let him
come when he will and he is
unwelcome. The Egyptians sought
to teach that all should prepare
for the grin monster and be ready
to follow him, let him call when he
would. The lesson can we'll be
remembered to-day All should
live prepared to die atany moment,
and all should learn now while in
the full enjoyment of wealth and
its pleasures that Peruna is the
greatest remedy in the world for
the diseases to which flesh is heir.
1t can be procured at any drug
store. Ask your druggist for
Peruna, the great tonic.
