more extensively than at any previous
time in its history-not excepting the

How Our visitors Are Impressed

The Odd Fellows who are with us
this week are impressed with Fort
Worth-the size of the town, its re-
sources, prosperity, energy and gen.
eral get-up-and-git. Many of them
say they are delighted. Some of the
visitors have been here before now,
but more of them are making their
first visit. These latter are like the
Queen Of Sheba, who went TO bask in
King Soiomon's wisdom and view the
riches of his kingdom. They had
heard Of Fort Worth before they came
everybody has-but like the Sheban
queen they look around them and say
the half had not been told them. 1t
is thus with all visitors TO our city.
They cannot but be impressed with
the evidences of enterprise, intelli-
gence, culture and thrift that greet
them on every hand.

Hancock, the Superb. Contributes.

HANCOCK, Tue superb, Contributes.
Even Gen. Hancock, who recently
spent a day at San Antonio and then
sped through Texas as fast as steam
could carry him, has felt it incumbent
TO contribute to fence-cutting litera-
ture. He tells reporter in New York:
Texas is mt present seriously disturbed by
the fence question. There are those who in
sist that all lands owned by the government
or by private parties shall be fenced, while
others as strenuously oppose It. Much feel.
Tag has already been shown ON both sides,
and l should not be surprised at any time TO
hear that II was the cause OF an actual out
break, us | underst and that number OF
Andholdcrs have provided their employees
with arms TO defend and maintain the rights
belonging to them.
Hancock is n military man, and
this is what military men would call a
'stragetical" position. 1t is about as
lucid and instructive as his position,
four years ago, upon the tariff question.
And yet, with the lights that were be-
fore him, we do not know that the
general could have spoken more frank
ly than he did-noL about the tariff.
but fence-cutting. When he comes
again we trust he will be enabled to
the efficacy Of the remedies
provided by Texas TO deal with the
evil whose multifarious aspects so
puzzled him.

The Other Happr Family.

The two political parties in Texas
constitute, each, n happy family. The
Democracy having no real opposition
in state contests can only find amuse-
ment by personal antagonisms that
often become more bitter and acrimo-
nious than any between men of oppo-
sing politics. The Republicans cannot
find much to laugh over in the Demo-
cratic strife within the party be-
cause they, too, make up a happy
family whose objective point is the an
swer to Web Flanagan's immortal in
terrogatOry. Just now both families
are i'll state of feTment. The GA
zEITE, day by day, tells of the Demo-
cratic doings and .undoings, but hav-
ing strong interest in its numerous
Republican constituency endeavors 10
keep up with the boys in both
happy families. The conventions
of both parties will soon be called, the
Republican convention, probably, soon
after Judge Buckley returns from
Washington, and the GAZETTE invites
both parties to meet in Fort Worth.
We are unparalleled here, and our
people are more occupied building up
city of 10000 people than in politics.
Neither convention would find n po-
litical lobby in Fort Worth. Recalling
MIR. Flanagan's famous question at
Chicago, 1t will probably stand in the
way of his being the next United
States marshal in the Galveston dis
trlct. That question was a leading
one, and it was very indiscreet
in Web to put it Mt the time
and place he did. Now his friends
doubtless think it would be asking too
much of Arthur at this juncture to
appoint to Office the ever-memorable
Web Flanagan; and doubtless, too,
Web will see himself the impropriety
Of the thing and while he is in Wash
ington do all he can for his friend
John G.. Tracy. Indeed, Mr.. Tracy is
the GAzErrE's prediction, as il is
probable Mr.. Phillips, the present mar
shal, will not ask reappointment,
and his term expires on the 10Th ul.
timo. The GAZETTE is almost afraid
to venture guess on the judgeship. 1t
isunderstood that Ochiltree wants Sa-
bin that Judge Buckley has endorsed
Mr.. Chambers, but will be satisfied
with any good Republican other than
Sabin; the old timers of the party
want Evans and outsiders, generally.
want either Ogden of San Antonio or
Hermann OF Fort Worth. The two
happy families of Texas are, each, busy
with Its own affairs and pay little at
tention to the other. AS Web did say
what are we here for?n And both
families are seeking the answer to the
untimely question.

take 1t for granted, until proof TO tne

by the startling assertion? Not the
administration, for the people of Texas
know that the ex.governor's state
ment will not stand when confronted
with the cold logic Of facts and figures
Men who have been in Texas since 1871
are not TO be misled and prejudiced by
such wanton assertions. II Governor
Roberts really believes what he Is re-
ported as saying OF the Ireland admin
istration, then his memory is falling
him, or he does not keep up with cur
rent events. If he talks thus for poll
cy, knowing the recklessness Of ms
words, he is a very foolish and unreli-
able old man. These are plain words,
but what less may be said and do the
subject justice? The real friends OF the
ex-governor will be 10th to believe that
he has been quoted correctly. They
will find qualification in an authorita-
tive and prompt denial that he has
thus impugned, through the state gov
eminent, the competency and trust
worthiness of the Democratic party TO
govern. If he does not do this he must
evoke criticisms which he
will not be able, indulgent as Demo-
Gratis are with him, to withstand. Ii
he is silent, conjecture, seeking the
most charitable solution of this sudden
will perhaps find it in that
calculated senilityr of which the peo-
pie of Texas have heard ere now. The
News will remember the term; it coin
ed it, for the especial benefit of the
governor who was Mr.. Ireland's I'M
mediate predecessor.
