Having passed rowing life by sea

status of the Caucasian and African
races may be Of sufficient interest to
merit place In the columns of your
valuable sheet.
When mere child I was stationed
on the west coast of Africa, and there
l saw the horrors of the slave trade,
as originally founded by British mer-
chants, and followed up by New
England capital and men. AS u mat
ter of course, this gave me O bias
against the entire institution of slavery

on the subject. But having spent sew
eral months in Texas, where / am told
the negroes are more civil than In
most Southern states, have come to
the conclusion that II / had them ALI
on men-of-war for one year | could
make them as civil and respectful as
they are In the North. / ask, why is
1t that an ex-slave Is so perfectly I'M

and eleven senators. The remainder
of the state, with but little, u any,
more population, has fifty-seven rep.
resentatives and twenty senators to
take care of its interests.
Ifno action Is taken by She state
legislature for reapnortionment untl'
1900, and the same ratio of increase Is
maintained, North and West Texas
will have population of two millions
represented by eleven members In the
senate and thirty-seven in the house.
The sense of fairness in every man
will be shocked at the contemplation
of such fragrant injustice to the peo-

it.
uSectionaljsmn is not to be con-
sidered in correcting this wrong. There
is no sectionalism in doing just act.
If sectionalism exists at all In Texas,
it is kept up by those who would deny
to another portion Of the state her
proper influence in state affairs. The
incontrovertible fact is, that certain
parts of the state have far oustripped
others in the growth of population, so
much that the apportionment of legis.
lative representatives which was fair
enough four years ago is now unequal
and oppressive, and demands readjust'

must be a state census, to be taken In

RELIGION IN FORT WORTH
Views OF a visitor--Seen As Others See
Us--Churches VS.. Saloons.

FORT WORM, May 81.
To the Editor of the Gazette.
There is one thing above all that l
have seen in Fort Worth that struck
me as indicative of the rapid growth of
the city. 1t also disappointed me very
much. This was the apparent external
disregard of religious appearances,
evinced by the-I might almost say
novels or shanties In which religious
services are carried on. To
u visitor, like myself, who came here
lured by the wonderful tales of the
growth of your city, which l found to
be true, 1t appeared horrible that amid
all the wealth and improvement, so lit
tie had been done towards making the
house of God attractive, or even COM
Portable. To any religious.minded
man or woman, 1t is shocking
TO see all the gaud and gilt
ter of the saloons, and the paltry
internal tittlngs-up of the poor church
buildings. Yet have had pointed out
to me on the streets Col. "So-and-so.n
Maj. "This-or-that," and Mr.. The
other-man,n and SO on, as men who
sands, all made within the last six or
eight years. Each of these men could
well give thousand or two toward
helping the building of tabernacle to
the great Lord who has so kindly
allowed them to accumulate,
with so little exertion, such vast
amounts in so short time. / wonder
| If these gentlemen ever think that
l Y,ra ht IN Il In IA
their accumulation of sudden wealth
/ wonder If their wives, who | hope
are all God-fearing women, have ever
called their husbands attention to
this subject and asked them to loan a
little to the Lord? / wonder if these
good men and women have ever
thought that the inducement OF
an elegant church and comfortable
furnishings will draw people to wor.
ship, while ill-kept shanties have an
opposite tendency? / wonder if these
same good fathers and mothers have
ever applied this thought to the ten
dency of their children to go to glitter.
ing palaces of sin instead of the SLOW.
emily houses of religion on the holy
Sabbath? OF what avail is all theil
money if their children go to the
bad Is there parent
here who would not give his all rather
than zee his boy drunken, Sabbath
breaking rowdy? Yet so long as there
is no place of worship that will attract
the fancy of the young, so long viii
the fascination of the saloon outweigh
the church in point of attendance
The Lord has been very good to For
Worth and her people. Has this city
ever evinced desire to repay TIN
Lord? VisIToR.
