parties, by mutual consent, have
issue Mt all in this canvass.
And, as a matter of fact, it is not be-
ing discussed at all by either party.
In proof of this statement | give you
the testimony of one of the leading or
gans of the Democratic party in Texas.
i read you an extract from the Fort
Worth GAZETTE of September 3:
A PAISruL SILENCE AS TO THE TAuIFF.
Both par les IN this campaign shrink from
discussion OF the tatin question by tscit con
sent that seems to have Deen laid over for tu-
ture action. Politicians are afraid of 1t. II
II were put forward the present alignment Of
parties by sections could not be maintained,
and breaking up OF forces as organized
would so disconcert the leaders as to endan-
ger their continuance in Office. They could
not, in the face Of such danger, allow the IN
PRODUCTION Of perilous iactoras the tarltl,
and by common consent II has been put IN
the background, 10 be Kept oHt of sight until
the offices are all nlleu.
Honest confession is good for the
soul, and | give THE GAZETTE credit
of being not only the most liberal but
the most honest newspaper in the
state 1t frankly comedies the fact
that there is now really no issue left
between the Democrats and Republic
cans in this canvass, except the offices.
| And it might have added, which
will, that the only discussion going on
between these parties is one of crimi-
nation and reCrimination. The Dem
ocrats accuse Blaine of receiving
brides while in office, and prove it by
| his Mulligan letters. The Republic
cans in turn accuse Cleveland of being
a libertine, and he knowing they
would prove has openly confessed it,
So the standard-bearers of these two
great parties now stand before the
country convicted as violators of law
and public offenders. And the people
are expected to choose between these
two evils. In order that they may
choose the less evil of the two the mat.

A RAILROAD SMAsH.UP.
In Which Fifteen or Twenty Laborers
Lose Their Lives.

A west-bound freight train collided
with gravel train on the Baltimore and
Ohio railroad, one mile east of Connells-
vile, and number OF laborers, yariously
estimated at from twelve to twenty, were
killed and many injured. Both trains were
going at high speed and came together with
terrible crash. The engines remained on
the track and telescoped each other into the
smoKe-stack, but the heavy tenders
jumped into the air and fell, the freight
tender upon Its engine and the gravel train
tender back upon the first car in the rear of
it. Here was scene of death. Six men
were killed outright in this car and four
others we're fastened down by broken tim
bers and were roasted to death, the car
catching fire from an overturned stove, and
could comprehend the awful situation Of
their shrieking companions.
The wreck itself was CHASTITY sight. The
tender of the freight engine stood thirty
feet in the air at the side of the iron car
that was burned. There could be seen sit
ting amid the glowing embers, twisted iron
rods and dead ashes, three grinning skele-
tons, one sitting bolt upright, apparently
peering into the flames that had smothered
out his life as we'll as those Of his compan-
ions.
When the wreck was cleared away it was
discovered that twelve persons had been
injured and fourteen more missing. The
bodies of ten of those missing were recov-
cred. The others are supposed to have
been completely consumed. OF those re.
covered only two were partially identified.
The others were burned shapeless.
The verdict of the corners jury is to the
effect that the collision was due to the care
lessness of train dis patcber Gilbert Lewis.

THE REPUBLICAN CONVENTION.
A Circular Issued Relating to Tickets of
Admission.

Chairman Sabin has issued a circu
lar to the effect that tickets of admission to
the republican national convention will
have coupons for. each probable session.
Each ticket will be numbered and allotted
to particular seat. No provision is made
for weekly newspapers. The daily papers
are amply cared for under charge of John
C. New. Tickets for delegates, alternates
and general admission will be turned over
to the national committee at Chicago on the
51st of May. The members Of the national
committee from each state and territory
will have charge of the tickets for his state
or territory aud distribute the same to the
delegates. Thus the delegates will have
the final distribution of the tickets and are
the proper and only persons to whom ap-
plication should be made.

The Age Of the Newspaper.
Boston Courier.


Public attention is absorbed by the
newspaper; and it is to the periodical
press press that the literary man owes
both his salvation and his ruin. The
large class of people who read simply
to Kill time, satisfy all literary cravings
by drinking at the streams, clear or
muddy, as the case may be, of their
pet newspapers; and even the lighter
class of stories appeal to them but sell
dom unless served up in long columns
and sent through the postoffice. 1t is
emphatically the age of the newspaper,
and both author and preacher are rap
idly finding themselves reduced to the
choice between working for the period
ical press and abandoning the field al
together. Of course, there are striking
exceptions, but in the main this seems
to us to be about the sense and SUBJ
stance of the whole matter. Literary
men are as we'll off as ever, but they
must adapt their methods of work to
the times in which they live.

GOVERNMENT LANDS.
Report on the Bill Submitted from the
House Committee

The report submitted to accompany
the bill reported from the house committee
on public lands, providing for the repeal
Of the presumption and timber culture laws
and an amendment to the homestead law.
says: Under the presumption, homestead
and timber culture laws, as they now stand,
a person may become the owner of 4S0
acres of the public domain, 100 acres under
each. This is too large an amount of land
for any person to acquire in this
manner: The policy Of the govern
ment should be to furnish as many
of our citizens with comfortable homes
as long in the future as possible, and 100
acres is sufficient for this purpose. By Civ
ing this amount it will not be many years
until all the public domain will be taken up.
The presumption law was passed in 1S41,
the homestead law in 1852 and the timber
culture act in 1878. When the homestead
act was enacted, the presumption law
should have been repeated. The timber
culture law should never have been passed.
We have, therefore, provided for the re-
peal of the presumption and timber culture
acts and an amendment to the homestead
law.

by stranger from those OF gorgeous
bull. So unerring is John in his dem.
onstration, that the residents of that
locality rely upon him as their barome-
ter, and he never fails to acquaint them
with pending meteorological changes.
He wears mems coarse clothing, after
manner peculiar to himself. He can
not be induced to use suspenders. He
is frequently presented with those use
full appendages to males toilet, but it
matters not how bright and gaudy the
colors may be, John will tear the sus-
penders up and ornament his neck,
arms and legs with the pieces. He
keeps his pantaloons in place by con-
stantly holding them up by the band in
front. When one hand is tired he
catches fresh grip with the other and
struts around his dismal quarters with
all the pomp and circumstance of a
prize bull at an agricultural fair. He
sleeps upon small cot in one corner of
his cell, having for his bed fellows a
number of tin cans, bones and brick
bats. He never removes his panta-
looms, and nothing can induce him to
wear shoes. He is rugged, healthy
creature, with body like bull and a
voice like Kansas. cyclone.
The mans history is sad one. His
mother, a very pleasant and intelligent
woman, was one day crossing field
not far fro m their home few months
prior to Johns birth. A vicious bull
was pastured in the field, and when he
caught sight of Mrs. Haines he came
plunglng toward her at full tilt, snort
ing angrily. The terribly afrighted
woman ran with all speed to the near
est fence, and succeeded in getting on
the other side of it before the bull,
which was close in her wake, could
harm her. The shock was a terrible
one, and Mrs. Haines suffered for days
from nervous prostration. The terri
BILE effects of that fright were i'm
pressed upon her unborn child, and
when he was ushered into the world
the poor mother found that her off
spring partook more of the nature of a
bull than that of human being. Her
grief over this misfortune was pitiable,
and for almost thirty years her life was
embittered by a contemplation of the
hideous child. When the wretched
woman died John was removed to the
infirmary, and has been confined there
ever since.

Nebraska, nominated Allen G.. Thurman.
On the informal ballot Butler received 124,

THE LADY OF TEARS.

Through valley, and hamlet and CITY,
Wherever humanity dwells,
With heart full of infinite pity,
Abreast that with sympathy swells,
sac walks, In her beauty immortal
Each household grows sad as she nears,
But she crosses at length every portal,
The mystical Lady Of Tears.
II never this vision of sorrow
Has Swallowed your life In the past,
You Will meet her / know, serve to-mor-
row,
She visits all hearthstones at last.
To house and cottage and palace,
TO servant and king, she appears,
And offers the gall OF her chalice--
The unwelcome Lady of Tears.
But in midnight, lone hearts that are ach.
ing
With the agonized numbness Of grief,
Are saved from the torture of breaking
BY her bitter.sweet draugh. of relief.
Ob, then do ali graces enfold her
Like goddess she looks and appears,
And the eyes overflow that behold her,
The beautiful Lady of Tears.
Though she turns to lamenting all laughter,
Though she gives us despair for delight,
Life holds new meaning thereafter
For those who bat greet her Alright.
They stretch out their hands to each other,
For sorrow smiles, and endears,
The children Of our tender mother
The sweet blessed Lady of Tears.
