Tho prospeotiye Commissioners


The showing made by Texas at the
New Orleans exposition will depend
very largely upon the personnel of the
chief commissioner and his salaried as
sistants. The honorary commission
ers will be, measurably, figure-heads
Some of them will not give the matter
days thought after the reception of
their credentials. Many of them will
not go to New Orleans at all, or, if
they do, it will be simply as a matter
of pleasure. What liz done, in the way
of organizing creditable exhibit,
must be the work of the gentlemen
who draw the meager compensation
fixed by the Legislature. The appoint
ment of the chief commissioner and
eleven assistants is vested in the gov
ernor, and it is to be hoped he will
choose wisely. If it is desired
to compliment distinguished cit
liens by naming them n commission
err, the executive has the honorary list
10 draw on. lie can thuS dispose of
twenty compliments to as many men.
But the chief and his sularied aids
will need to be, first of all, gentlemen
who clearly comprehend the import
ance of the movement-all that is in
yolved. They should be good workers,
with organizing ability and enthusi-
astic in the matter. In fact they must
of necessity be enthusiastic, 10 enlist
their aid at all, for the small amount
of 500. The report has been set afloat
that the governor will distribute these
places among his political friends.
The rumor no doubt is entirely gratuit-
Gus, like many others floating around
of late. But if the governor wants
good work done for Texas it will be-
hoove him To pick men peculiarly fit
ted for these places, and see to it that
there is not even a suspicion Of axe
grinding. There is too much at stake
to do otherwise.

Mai, K. NJ, VanZandt.

1t has come TO the knowledge of the
GAZETTE that Major X. NJ. Van
Zandt is in the mouths of some pretty
active citizens as candidate for may
or; or, rather we should say he is
talked of for mayor, since his candida
cy would be a mere form. The GA
zETTE does not understand that this
mention of Major VanZandt is in
the nature of opposition TO Mayor
Smith-but rather the result of u con-
fidence that the present mayor will
decline "a reelection and a public anx-
iety TO put In his place man equally
competent to head the city govern
ment. 1t is no small compliment to a
city 80 young as Fort Worth that such
a man as Peter Smith heads its mum.

him with such man rs X. NJ, Van
Iandt would be an earnest of the deter
mination of our people t" put their best
foot forward" during this tran
sition period from the conditions of a
town into the proportions of city.
II Is well known that Peter Smith had
no time to be mayor of Fort Worth,
and yet he served--and the city is all
the better for it. II is freely admitted
that X. NJ. VanZandt has no time to
be mayor of Fort Worth, and yet Just
such man is needed to perpetuate
and extend the good work inaugu-
rated. Now, more than ever, there
should be the best material In all the
offices Of the city. Major VanHandt
has no superior in administrative aud
executive ability in the city no man
Is actuated BY more rigid honesty or
higher sense Of honor. While
IL may not be said Of
him alone, yet with him as
mayor, the taxpayers of Fort Worth
would kaop that no jobbery in govern
ment would prevail, and that his
broad catholic views would prevent n
narrow contracted municipal .spirit.
The GAZETTE has II from the gentle
men alluded to, that Maj. VanZandt
had never been approached on the sub
ject but that they depend upon his
devotion to the city to yield TO solicit
la'''n which can mean only good to

Major VanIandt candidate for
mayor, the possibilities ola free race
wiil be avoided and that Fort Worth
should not now be subjected to such
dramas: Some gentlemen further say

The Trutb Of History

From advance sheets OF Thurow Weeds
memoirs Is published professed letter
bearing date 1850. from Judah T. Benjamin
then United states sena,or.elect from Louis
lana, TO the British eonsulgeneral in New
York, seeking TO enter into negotiation for n
return OF the Southern states to their allegi-
ance to the British crown, an object which
he declares 10 have been frequently discussed
at private gatherings Of distinguished South,
ern mFn. He ludicrously adds that he had
frequently heard these gentlemen address
one another by titles, presumably of no
bllity.
For two weeks the above item has
been going the rounds of the Norther n
and Eastern press. IL originated in
New York, where one Mr.. Barnes is
editing Weeds memoirs, preparatory
TO their publication. Fortunately for
the truth Of history and the vindica-
ton OF the common-sense of the South,
Mr.. judah z. Benjamin Is living yet.
This story reached him about week
ago and he promptly cabled to New
York, from London, an indignant and
emphatic denial Of the story, in toto.
Every Southern man of note, who was
participant in the events immedi-
ately preceding the war, is well aware
that such policy as ThurIow Weed
describes was not suggested, discussed
or even thought OF. A conredera-
tlon OF Southern states was the ideal
nation dreamed Of and hoped for by
Southern leaders, and, back of them.
Southern people. Mr.. Weed appears
to have been unfortunate In his mem.
cries. He professed TO tell the only
true story of the disappearance and
fate Of Morgan, the recreant Free Mn
son. But members Of that order who
may be fairly presumed to have pos.
session OF the actual facts connected
with that mysterious episode declare
that Mr.. Weeds story was purely sen.
sntional.

Preparipr for the Grand Effort


Judge Sabin and Representativ,
Ochlltree have about formulated the
bill which is TO be introduced in con
gress in aid of deep water at Galveston.
II will be held in allegiance until the
citizens committee from Galveston
reaches the national capital, and short
ly afterward, no doubt, presented by
some member of the Texas delegation.
We have read the measure rs pub
lished in the Galveston News, aud 1t
appears TO be comprehensive and care
fully drawn. Presumably it has been
submitted to and received the ipdorse-
ment of the senators and representa-
tives from this state, who are all
friendly to the movement. How it
will fare, when laun ched at congress,
is purely matter of conjecture. The
GAZETTE is apprehensive that the time
is not suspicious for request of such
magnitude. Too many congressman,
we fear, do not possess anything like
an adequate conception Of the semi
national Importance of the proposed
work. They will have to be educated.
if we may use the term, up TO prop
er appreciation of the vast interests
involved. But there is nothing like
trying, and the sooner the better. The
citizens committee from Galveston
will leave for Washington the latter
part of this week, and it may be said
they carry with them the hearty SYM
pathy of the state in their undertake
ing. Public opinion is unified as to
deep water at Galveston.

Rather be Honest than an Organ.


The quadrangular fight between the
Galveston News, Houston Post, Fort
Worth GAZETTE and Governor Ire
land is one of the most interesting af-
fairs of the day. The News is fight
ing all three of them. The Post is
lighting the News and would like to
fight the GAZETTE and claim the dis
tinction of being the Ireland organ
alone, but the GAZETTE wants TO be
called an Ireland organ. The position
OF the GAZETTE, however, is very
trying one. OF course il Peter Smith
Is candidate for governor L. will be
compelled to support him. When the
alleged News-Flournoy-H Huntington
Smith combination was first made
public the GAZETTE was actually in a
painful position, but since that lacks
confirmation 1t is relieved. The
stronghold of the News lies in the
ability of its Austin reporters. The
stronghold of the GAZETTE is its hon
esty of purpose. The strength of the
Post is in the recognition accorded it
of being the administration organ.
Tho strength of Ireland depends on
the result of the extra session.
