The lines Of the present State administra-
ton do not seem to have fallen into pleasant
places, and the press Of the State generally
are inquiring into the cause. The fence cut.
ting business has been very much like a
small boy rolling snow ball. With every
days work unchecked, 1t grew larger and
stronger. until the business Of the entire
western portion Of Texas have become
Psralayzed and the laws set at defiance.
Machine politics are good for politicians only.

February 6. Captain o. B. Boyd, of the
Eighth cavalry, United States army, will de-
liver his interesting lecture on the great Kiowa
Indian chief, weeping Weasel" and his
pilgrimage to tho cities Of the white man.
The lecture will be followed BY promenade
concert and dance, and, no doubt, will prove
most enjoyable affair. The proceeds of the
lecture arc to 60 towards furnishing the new
Masonic hall OF the city, md should be lib
orally attended, as ii will amply repay all.

TWO STRINGS TO HIS BOW.
Carter Harrison Scheming for the Vice
Presidency, in Default of which
He Would be Governor.
Especial Telegram to the Globe.


CHICAGO. Feb. 24.-The Tribune has the
following special from Washington: Carter
Harrison has a new ambition. The discovery
of this fact by the Illinois Democrats has not
tended to increase the harmony among them
Carter Harrison did very much more when
here than to extend the hospitalities of the
city to the convention and to offer to chalk
the hats OF the national committee men. He
consulted with some persons, whom he
thought were confidential friends, as to the
expediency of endeavoring to secure the
Democratic nomination for vice president,
and these confidential Democratic friends
have asked Morrison what he thinks
about it. He does not think well
of it. The fact that Carter Harrison, who
the old Tilden crowd say never had been
known as a stalwart Tilden man, in his ad-
dress to the national committee yesterday,
stated that Tilden was Illinois only candid
ate, and if he would not run that Illinois had
no candidate, but was for the field was re-
ceived with hot indignation by Morrison's s
friends when they heard it, for they say they
have in their possession letter written re-
Gently by Carter Harrison to some one in the
state, in which he declared that he favors the
nomination of Morrison for president
Accordingly they fail to see how it
could be that Illinois would have
no candidate. The mystery was
not revealed to them until Harrison's conf
dences were whispered about this morning
Carter's plan as revealed here, is this: He
desires that the Democratic party in Illinois
shall hold two state conventions-one to elect
delegates to the national convention and the
second to nominate the state ticket, and that
the second shall he held after July 8, the day
of the meeting Of the national convention.
Carter Harrison has told John Oberly, of the
state central committee, that he would not
accept the nomination for governor unless
they could have two conventions. His purpose
is to try his chances for the vice presidency
at the national convention. The mayors
ambition has that extent. It is not pro-
gramme which commends itself to the Nor
rison men. One of them very earnestly de-
clined. Carter Harrison cannot play with
the Democracy in that way and he will not
be candidate for goveanor either and if any
man receives any recognition at the national
convention it will be Bill Morrison as the
presidential nominate.

At less than the same goods can be purchased
by any dealer in the country. Every article in
the house a speciality, and an undeniable bar
gain. The people are realizing the fact that
competition in prices is suicidal to those svho
undertake it. They are given the benefit of
prices that could be given in no other way save
through failure in business. The creditors are
the sufferers, and the people are the gamers
thereby. Every article has been marked at a
price that will surely sell them.
