Catarrl1 Cured

Catarrh is very prevalent disease, with
distressing and offensive symptoms. Hoods
Sarsaparilla gives ready relief and speedy
cure, from the fact it acts through the blood
and thus reaches every part of the system.
"I suffered with catarrh fifteen years. Took
Hoods Sarsaparilla and am not troubled any
with catarrn. and my general health is much
better" I. W. LILLIs, Postal Clerk Chicago
s. st. Louis Railroad.
"I suffered with catarrh or years; tried
many wonderful cures, inhalers, etc., spend
ingnearly one hundred dollars without benefit,
I tried Hoods Sarsaparilla, and was greatly
inl1roved." NJ. A. ABBEY. Worcester, Mass
Hoods Sarsaparilla is characterized by
three peculiarities: 1st, the combination Of
remedial agents; I'd, the proportion; Sd, the
process of securing the active medicinal
qualities. The result is medicine of unusual
strength, effecting cures hitherto unknown.

The defeat of the Morrison bill was as

WILL the Fort Worth GAZETTE please re-
member that the COW Interests are not the

that paper talks one would suppose that our
whole population engage in nothing but
branding calves and milking cows. This
eternal catter about the rights OF the cow
man 20 use public property without paying
therefor, is getting past the monotonous
point and reaching that stage where his IN
forests will be Jeopardlzed by II. The man
with the hoe has the principle strongly In
him that "enough of good thing is enough
and too much Is disagreeable,"

Don't fret. The man with the hoe
is aggressive. Where cotton, corn
or wheat will grow, there, soon OF
late, the man with the hoe will labor
and find profit. II you are in a hurry

lease system and advocate free grass.
A herd law is the bette noir of the
"man with the hoe" in Texas.

Due to Senator Coke.

A Chicago exchange tells that the
defeat of the iniquitous pleuro-pneu-
monia bill is due to the persistent hos
tility and steady opposition of Senator
Coke. He began to interpose objec-
tions to the bill and devise measures
for its defeat the very day it was pre-
sented in the senate and sought to be
forced through instantly and without
consideration. John Sherman's terror
lest Texas cattle diseases desolated
Ohio seemed to be pitiful. Senator
Coke did not give way to the madness
of the moment and only sought to
temporize. He wanted cooling time
for Sherman and the rest. He saw
that they proposed by exclusion OF
Texas cattle from Missouri and Chi
cago from early spring till late in the
fall, Texas cattle owners would be
ruined and little ring control the
trade abs olutely. 1t is true that there
are rarely more than twenty or thirty
senators at any time in their seats
Senator Coke wished the whole body
to understand this proposition affect
ing Texas cattle and he repeated hi
speech or made several on the same
subject on several successive days
Finally, the whole senate became in
terested in the question and Coke
, amendment virtually killing the prop
osition of the spectators to the exten
that Texas was affected by it, wa

The Prohibitionists.

The prohibitionists promise to make
their influence felt in Texas in the
coming election. They will not be at
all likely to control the legislature to be
elected this fall, but if they are united
in support of the plan that has been
proposed for them, there can be no
doubt of the election of fair num-
Der of members 10y their votes,
who will stand committed to the for
tunes of the prohibitionists upon ques-
tons affecting the liquor traffic. They
contemplate thorough organization,
and will lend their influence and cast
their votes for those legislative candi-
dates who pledge themselves, if elected,
to vote for the submission of constitu-
tional amendment prohibiting the
liquor traffic in Texas. Where there
is closely contested district the influ-
ence of the prohibitionists, if they do
not allow other issues to divide their
vote, will be sufficient to determine
the election, and where their support
can assure success there will be no
difficulty in obtaining pledges from
one of the candidates. Evidently the
prohibitionists feel strongly encour-
aged, and there may be surprise in
store for those who look upon their
movement as an idle diversion. The
feeling against the alcoholic evil is
deep and strong, and outside the large
towns it will find expression in sig
nificant vote. The convention of pro-
Eibitionists recently in session in Paris
numbered among its delegates some OF
the best and most earnest men in the
state, and II they commit themselves to
the task of securing n legislature that
will submit prohibition amendment,
they will not dissipate their efforts in
impracticable schemes. They have q
full right to engage in the work of re-
form-as much, indeed, as the oppos
ing interest has to thwart the reform.
atory movement. Their endeavor will
not be totally in vain; for, while moi
promising present success, it will com.
mand respect and enable them to make
fair terms for the future. There are
too many important questions com
manding the attention of the Nine
tenth legislature to allow it to con.
sumo time in the discussion of the
economy of the liquor traffic, and we
do not look for the submission of a con.
, stitutional amendment. But there is
: promise that the next legislature will
contain more friends of prohibition
than the present one.

THE Fort Worth GAZETTE is urging every
county, through its county delegates a. con-

TuE.GAzErrE's attempt TO force them on the
people.-Corsicana Courier.
"Do not legitimately belong to politi.

subjects of legislation. The Courier,
like all the herd-law organs, wants to
close the mouths of the people in order
that the legislature may do its will re-
CARELESS of popular opinion. Where is
the "demagoguery" in wanting the
people to express their wishes on grave
changes? Is there not "demagoguery"
rather in Wishing to silence the voice
of the people and leaving the legisla'
ture free to act as it may wish or as il
may be influenced to act by extrane'
