The yonng Democracy and the
young Republicans of the Mississippi
valley are wide awake on this ques-
tion of cheap transportation, and
they have their eyes upon their rep
resentatives in Congress. And to
these representative in Congress let
me say if you have not breadth of
comprehension and depth of politi-
cal discernment to view this trans
portation question broadly, nation
ally, then you have already been
weighed in the balance and found
wanting. If you are so short-sighted
that you can not see beyond the mar
row confines of your district, then
your political days. are numbered,
and you need not peer far into the
future to see your political carcass
dangling at the wheel of the car of
progress. This question of cheap
transportation is one of those great,
economic questions which overleap
State and party lines with the force
of a religious conviction. Zap
plause.
The young Democracy and the
young Republicans of the Mississippi
valley will not follow the valley of
any party which does not pursue
steadily and steadfastly the solution
Of the question of cheap transporta-
tion. TApplause.l Party lines are
now so blurred that we see party
leaders with microscopes in their
hands straining their eyes to discern
them. With this condition of affairs
it is plain that that party which offers
the most substantial fruits meet unto
repentance ON this river improve
ment question will name and elect
the President in 1884. Applause.
All of that long and brilliant array
Of river improvement conventions
from 1916 up to 1881 were mere in
stitutes, designed to furnish inform-
alton to our Congressman and to i'm
press upon them the Importance of
the subject. We have been for this
third of century hopeful M:
nority. Ours has been the part of
the petitioner, the prayer, the i'm
plorer. The readiustment of the
political forces of this nation under
the tenth census has transferred the
center of power and population to
the Mississippi valley. We have
heretofore wrestled with this subjec
and with Congress in prayer. We
are now upon our feet and should as
sert our power. We, the people of
the Mississippi valley, are now the
United States of America. We hold
the purse and shall soon WELD the
sword of the nation. Why not say
to Congress ''We come not here to
petition and pray. Ours is another
mission. We come here in the name
of twenty-eight and half million,
the sovereign majority of the people
of the United States, to instruct the
Representatives and Senators from
the Mississippi valley states to stand
up in their places and vote for the
millions required to improve our
great Western rivers" Great ap-
plause.

the city water-works, and the ordinary
pressure OF the water on the cylinder
Is sufficient to hoist the heaviest loads

this country, both in the manner of
motive power and its popularity of
construction. The cylinder acts as an
engine fed at one end with the water.

FoRr WORTH, Tx, Sept. y, 1881.

NJ Thomson.
FORT WORTH, Tx, Sept y. 1884,.
To the Editor Of the Gazette:
In your issue Of the 18th inst. you
deprecated the organization Of the Law
and Order party said it was unneces-
sary, etc. Again this morning you re-
turn TO the subject. Both you and
your correspondent seem TO impugn
the motives of some ofthat party. Now
will you allow me TO replSg
That Fort Worth Is better or worse
than other places Is not an issue. But
that evils, vice and crime so abound In
Fort Worth as to justify all good citi.
Gems In organizing resistance, In aid Of
the law and it's officers, is indisputable.
In proof Of this let every man call on
his own observation and experience.
Look at our jail, and the records Of our
criminal courts. Do these manifest
the prevalence Of law and order
Count your gambling dens and the
hordes OF gamblers, tFamps and pros
titutes on the streets. Go down any
of your principal streets ON Sunday
and see how many saloons are open.
How often do you hear OF murders,
robberies and other crimes where
suck characters are tolerated?
Why Is 1t. Mr.. Editor, that our pos
tive statutes against gambling, Sun
day saloons, etc, cannot DO executed
You may say public opinion does not
demand 1t. Why not? Who has been
forming and controlling it for some
time without let or hindrance? The
press? Yes. Has the press unisrnly
drawn clear line between vice and
crime on the one hand and virtue and
morality on the other? Has the press
done its duty TO its readers
by holding up the right,
denounclng the wrong in all cases? Is
not such your duty? You aim to form,
direct and lead public opinion. What
Is 10 be your standard, II you will not
uphold virtue and put down vice?
Would you have q heightened public
opinion In the country founded on
virtue aud morality, or one 80 mixed
with vlciousness as TO defy even the
laws OF the land and the officers elected
to execute them? flour public opinion,
AZ formed by the press, does not de-
mand the enforcement of the laws,
who can complain If good citizens
come up to help in the good work?
But you seem very sensitive when
we 20 further and speak of impro-
prleties. How can you expect to form
a good, wholesome public opinion
without taclling gross improprieties
Can you, in this country, hope for
anything good, any security under
law, without first putting down law
lessness and vice and crime, and ss-
tablishing virtue and morality In their
stead? These latter are the very foun-
dalton and bAsls on which alone
law can be sustained Vice and
crime are necessarily enemies of all
that Is good and true. Policy men,
traders, politicians and editors may
try TO straddle the issues between ms
rality and immortality, virtue and
vice; but the true man, the states
man, the friend of good government
and good society will make no such
The times in which we
live demand meA of brain and nerve
and sound morals. Weak kneed men
with go-easy morals and uncertain
principles are unequal to the present
