The many friends uf Mrs. II Agnes Bomls wife
of W. W. Bems of Boston, and daughter Of the late
DR.. Chas CLARK Of T0wnshend, were panied TO learn
Of her sudden death. She had endohred herself 10 all
who knew her iu her native town, ana a large circle
at her late home, by her faithful and conscientious
devotion 20 every duty, and her constant readiness to
do good whenever opportunity offered. without os-
tcnaton, she was efcient in good works, and ready
with hopeful encouraging words. But she shone the
baightest in her own home. Her funeral was largely
attended by her neghbors and friends, bringing with
them many graceful tributes to her memory. There
were choicest flowers in great prOfuson, among them
several rare and beautiful pieces, which atested in
degree the regard and esteem In which she was
held by those who knew her best And by every act
Of kindness in their power, aud in expression Of deep
sorrow manifested by all, did they show forth their
grief and their sympathy for the husband and three
little children left discOn ISOLATE.

THE MEXICAN VETERAN PENSION
was 90 absurdly and eXtravagantly
amended by the Republicans in their
mad effort to bribe voters for Blaine,
that the stanchest friends of the orig
inal measure were forced TO vote
against 1t. The pension system, If this
senate bill pass the house, becomes n
simple device by which one half the
people toll to support the cther half in
idleness. To secure q pension is a mat
ter OF proof and not of fact; of hard
swindiing and not of service rendered
the country. Politicians have WED
with one another in concocting
generous pension bills. Of course, the
authors never dreamed that the bills
would become laws. Most of them
died in committee rooms and others
were voted down; but the repre- senta-
tives of the protected classes have be-
come exceedingly anxiods TO have
preteXt for the maintenance of the
war tariff. IL we must pay $500, 000. 900
annually TO pensioners tariff rates
cannot be lesseued, and N order to pay
ay-snIAinrg and panSinf I,f
vast sum, the people w,uld pay the
protected industries no less than
thousand millions annually. The
we pay the mill and mine aud bank
is the catspaw used by the monkey,
chestnuts out of the fire.
Therefore, it happens that the bill
which passed the Republican senate
must die in the Democratic house.
The Democracy represents the people;
Republicanisn the projected nobility.
The old soldiers themselves compre-
bend the issue. Discussion has done
the country infinite service and this
demagogism of the majority of the
senate will fail of its purpose. If these
Republican leaders sought to do right,
and serve the masses, why do they not
accede to the Democratic proposition
to equalize pensions and give all sol
diers the same rewards and honors for
the same disabilitie? Why give
wounded officers more than wounded |
men? Glass legislation distin-
cuisines every page and act |
of Republican congressional ac-
ton and the cannon people
unless they would have the republic
destroyed by body of men falsely
terming themselves Republicans
will make a Statesman and philoso-
pher and true Republican, like Thur
man, the next president of the United
States.
Fort Worth daily gazette. (Fort Worth, Tex.) 1882-1891, 1884-07-01
THE GAZETTE: FORT WORTH TEXAS TUESDAY JULY.

Worth cannot view with complacency
any policy in dealing with that section
which does not have for its end and OBJ
ject the attraction of actual settlement,
and THE GAZETTE as a Fort Worth
enterprise is vitality concerned in all
that affects the West for good OF bad.
In yet another particular The GA
zETTE is more directly interested in
the growth of population in the west
ern counties. Population brings rail-
roads and railroads build up towns
and make towns. The circulation of
daily paper is almost wholly confined
to railroad towns which are accessible
expeditiously by rail, and such road
as the Fort Worth & Denver, IL
completed and its branches run out ms
projected, would add to THE Ga
zETrE's circulation by not less than
1000 within year. This is suf-
ficient reason, If no other existed, for
the attitude of THE GAZETTE in oppo-
sitiotl w tic iettsc ~ stClli.
Men who can see no motive for any
act but the personal advantage that is
TO accrue from 1t, can estimate these
facts and see cause powerful enough
to induce The GAZETTE to favor
policy which shall be best for the
West. THE GAZETTE is more de-
dendent on Fort Worth and the
West than on the Texas In
vestment company, for without the
West Fort Worth could not exist, and
without Fort Worth there would be
no GAZETTE. The lease law IL an
enemy of the development of the West,
and therefore THE GAZETTE is opposed
to 1t.
If selfish argument is needed to
satisfy the lease-law subjects, this is
one. 1t will possibly he
to that class to learn that |
THE GAZETTE has yet another, and
we think. better, reason for being OPP.
posed to n lease law; aud that reason is,
that IA lease law is against the best in-
terest Of the entire state, without re-
gard to section.
