Soldiers Reunion.

BEATRICE, Neb, Aug. s, 1885.
MEssRs. EDIToRs:-I wish to note
through the columns of your paper, to my
many friends and readers of the FREE
TRADER, that the seventh annual reunion
Of the soldiers and sailors of Nebraska and
Kansas will be held here at Beatrice, from
the It'll to the 18th OF September. All are
cordially invited, and grand opportunity
is given to see our fine country and beau
tful town. Big preparations arc being
made for an immense crowd of people
from all parts of the east and west, north
and south.
Gage county is enjoying fine crop this
season. Harvesting and stacking is all
through with. Corn will be an immense
crop here, and the wild grass will be good
also; not many apples, yet the Concord
grape is doing finely. The potato crop
will be large and of good quality. Stock
of all kinds are in fine condition. Plenty
of rain and hot weather. j. l.. LOCKE.

GERS OF towns and cities have been found
in collision with these bands, and as u
reward for their support (either active or
passiyc) have become sharcrs in the
spoils. These things have proven dctrl-
mental to the best interests of Texas,
and especially to the cities where they
occur. Railway cities, where large num-
bers OF strangers get off and on the trains,
afford opportunities for such work,
which makes them the most inviting fields.
We believe that as rule the officers of
Dallas as well as our own city have been
on the alert in looking after these ras-
Gals. We trust that our police officers
will rodoublc their efforts in this direc-
ton, because the credit of Fort Worth is
involved In the matter.

The announcement made in special
from Washington which appeared in
yesterdays GAZETTE, that no rupture
had taken place between President
Cleveland and Mr. Tlden, will be no
surprise to those who understand the pc.
litical history of the two men. Indeed,
there is striking similarity between the
policy and craftsmanship of the two men.
The same reasons which elected Mr.. Til
den governor of New York in 1874
prompted the people of the same state to
elect Mr.. Cleveland in 1882. The great
reform movement which Mr.. Tildcn
headed in that state while governor,
made him the most available man in the
Democratic party In 1876 for presi-
dent, and he was elected upon
the question of reform The nccdful
reforms which Cleveland effected while
governor of New York, made him the
available man in the Democratic party in
1884, and 1t was mainly his record as a
rciormcr in his state that elected him
president at the late national contest.
These fncts are matters of history. SO
we see striking similarity between the
craftsmanship of the two men, which
led to the same results in the political
history of both Then what could give
rise to a cause Of estrangement between
themI The two are in harmony upon the
great questions of the day Mr. Tilden,
is standing upon the verge of the grave,
without political aspirations, and with
ample wealth to make the remainder OF
his life one of ease, while Mr.. Cleveland,
who has not yet reached the meridian of
life, holds the first Office in the greatest
mtion on earth. In one We have grand
life just ending, and in the other, Il grand
future is spread out before him, such as
few men in the nation have had in the
past. Then it would he strange indeed
If two such men rs Tildcn and Cleveland
could become estranged at this time.

Replying to the charge that he was hos
tile to the circulation of silver dollars,
and was using his official authority TO
keep silver locked up In the treasury,
United States Treasurer Jordan saws:
1--WE are using our utmost to get the silver
dollars out of the vaults OF the treasury The
government has offered to pay transportation
for the COIN and II the people want the money
In this shape all they have to do Is to send for
1t. So far from hndcrlng the circulation Of the
silver dollar, the effort of the department is to
soc how many of them can, under the most ia
Norablc facilities, be put outside the treasury.
To this end every one and two dollar note has
been called in from the sub treasures, and not
one viii be issued for months This is the
season of the year when the circulation of the
silver dollar can have It's falrest test. From
now until December the demand for money
of small denomination will be the greatest
The country needs all the money it has
to be put in circulation, and soon the fail
trade and the movement of cotton and
corn to market will require volume of
purchasing medium at least double that
which has been used for the business of
the summer months. Any effort, there
fore, to push the great store of silver
coin into circulation Is commcndable.
There are laid up in the treasury vaults
millions of silver dollars, which do not
circulate because banks refuse TO handle
them In large sums, As long as they re-
main out of circulation they are so much
dead wealth.
However desirable it may be to force
these silver dollars into circulation, moth.
ing is gained by the withdrawal of the
one aud two-dollar legal-tender notes.
This merely creates void which it is
hoped will be filled by silver dollars. But
by how much are we better off when we
shall have withdrawn the legal-tcndcr
notes and substituted silver? The one
and two.dollar notes now in circulation
aggregate 100000 silver dollars, and
If they are called in and $4,000, 900 silver
dollars issued TO take their place, the
volume OF circulating medium is not in.
creased, and what is gained? We have
simply substituted n bulky, cumbersome
silver dollar fora paper dollar of equal
value, and one much more suitable for
handling and transportation.

KIND WORDS

From Our Confreres of the State Press.
The Fort Worth GAzErTE failed to
make its appearance on Sunday morning
last, 1t having been seized the night be-
fore by the sheriff for debt. II looks sad
that 1t who told us, in sprightly vein, the
daily good and bad of humanity should
be stricken down at the high meridian of
its usefulness. But this sadness is some
what mcllowcd by the belief, formed
from past observation, that The GAZETTE
Is like unto the cat that had nine lives.
And we sincerely hope that The GAzErrE
has not reached the ninth life.-rDcnton
Monitor August -.
The Fort Worth GAZETTE will be re-
surrectcd tomorrow morning, and will

wish that 1t may he revived again. If TuE

rotunda of the custom house began adj

asked, as this your signaturc?" Bust

atlantis handed him papers to sign. He
nodded his head and they nodded in re-
turn, and that completed the oath. This
almost equals the facility with which they

second the active and more potent cause.
may build city by making 1t a trade
center, but where we find both causes
working In harmony together, the growth
will be much more rapid, and we may
here cite the cities Of Chicago, st. Louis,
Kansas City, and other places In the
great Northwest, in yerihcation of this
fact. Especially is this the case in
the growth of Chicago, which was
not only fortunate in the way
of natural advantages, but at
the same time emnently so
with respect TO these active forces and
instrumentalities which never fail to sur
mount all obstacles in the great battle of
progress. Admitting the truth of these
principles or rules which govern all mate
rial development, the people of Fort
Worth have much reason TO feel hopeful
as to the future OF this city. First, be-
cause our natural advantages make 1t not
only possible but highly probable that we
may become great trade center for the
entire territory of Northwest Texas.
Second, because the past rapid growth
of the city proves beyond ques-
ton that we possess all the en-
terprise, vim and force to enable
her people to bring into active
use all the agencies and instrumcntalitlcs
In aid of our natural advantages. We
find on studying the history of the growth
of the great cities of the Northwest, that
the active forces which aided most rapidly
In their growth, were railways and man
ufactories. Chicago and st. Louis Sc
cured these, and have become great trade
centers and large cities. The vast terri
tory which has for years been filling up
with population of industrious tillers of
the soil, has become vast field from
which these cities draw their trade over
numerous lines of railway, which radiate
in all directions from these common cen
tiers. Fort Worth has made brave start
In the way OF securing railways; but
we need others still, until the vast
territory to the northwest OF us
is brought near and made tributary,
so that when the rich lands shall have
been converted into fruitful fields, we
may justly lay claim TO their trade, and
bring 1t here to II common center. But
cities, in order to place themselves in
position 10 claim the trade of a given sec
ton of country, the people of such cities
must place themselves in Il position to
supply the demands of such sections of
country rs may be made tributary to it.
In order to fully meet these demands,
must be built up. Let the
citizens of Fort Worth look
well to this matter, because IL must, and
will become an important factor in the
future growth and prosperity of the city,
