FoR ASSOCIATE JUSTICE.

The candidate presented by TarrOnt
county for associate justice Of the SUI
preme court is one eminently deserving
the high honor for which he was 80 en-
Enthusiastically Endorsed by the Democratic
convention. A gentleman Of studlous
habits and of pre.eminently a judicial
cast OF mind, Mr.. Hyde Jennings is pc
culiarly lifted for the position of associate
justice of the supreme court, and the
Democratic party of the state will confer
merlted distinction and insure to the PEG.
pie Just Judge in presenting him for
popular acceptance. Without disparage
ment OF any gentleman named from other
sections to the same place, THE GAZETTE
does not believe that Mr.. Jennings will
suffer by comparison with any OF them,
and that none would discharge the i'm
portant duties OF the responsible position
with more exact justice and clearer per-
ceptlon Of the law and equity than the
candidate offered by Tarrant county to
the people

Tx platform Of the Democratic psrty
in Tarrant Is complete Endorsement OF
all the policies advocated by TnK Ca
zETrE. Men who question the principles
advocated by this paper do but srraign
the Democracy OF the county. Men may
come and men may go; but principles go

THERE is not a more indefensible and
hurtful tax than that on imported cotton
ties. 1t fixes upon the people Of eleven
states cruel and grlevous burden for the
sole purpose of enriching few iron man
ufacturers in Plttsburg. 1t goes far to-
ward Gripping an industry that produces
annually two hundred and forty millions
OF dollars worth of raw material, and that
furnishes the basis OF other Industries in
volylng lnnumeTable other millions. 1t
Is not surprising that Mr.. Randall should
favor this tax-nay, endeavor to increase
II as he has done In his proposed revenue
bill, Mr.. Randall is, in pursuing that
course, simply considering his own inter
est and that of his Republican patrons.
But why congressman representing New
Orleans-the great cotton mart of the
United States; city whose commerce
and prosperity depend so largely on the
cotton crop-why these congressman
should vote with Mr.. Randall TO harm
their own people and contract their own
trade, is a conundrum we have never
been able to solve.

Miss Folsom Weather than Mr.. Cleve-
land.
From a BNfaIo Times.


The public are at liberty to gossip until they
are fully satisfied regarding the FOlsoms and
the coming marriage of President Cleveland
but no one need lose sleep because of the pow
erty of the family. The FOlsoms have for
many years ranked among the wealthy and
influential people Of western New ork. The
father of Miss Frances Folsom, the late Oscar
Folsom was not prudent man in financial
matters, and died poor, but he was the excep-
ton in large family. Benjamin Folsom, the
Buffalo attorney, who is now in Europe with
Miss Folsom, has already inherited quarter
of million dollars, and will doubtless receive
large addition to this fortune from the estate
of his father and other relatives. The
senior Benjamin Folsom was for a
quarter of q century or more a resi-
dent of Attica, n. Y. where he made
a large fortune as a railroad contractor.
Western investments rendered him a million
aire, or nearly so, and Benjamin Folsom, Jr.,
receives at least one-half of the estate. He
is q bachelor of quiet, though refined tastes,
and the present European trip is being made
largely at his expense. The father of the la
mented Oscar Folsom is still alive. HIS
wealth is about half a million, and Miss
Frances Folsom is one of his heirs. The pop
ular young lady Will be rich in her own right
in a few years. In fact she and her widowed
mother already enjoy portion OF the wealth
which Col. John b. Folsom has willed to her.
Miss Frances Folsom is already the virtual
pOssessOr Of a larger estate than Mr.. CleNe-
land has ever been able to accumulate,

When dawn in tints of rose and gold
DAYS glorious promises unfold;

hear that Gathering guinea hen.
And when, oh incense breathing morn,
Thy CHEEKY meal to me IS borne,
I'd be at peace with gods and men
But for that cackling guinea hen.
When would read some book most dear
The printed thoughts cannot hear,
/ cannot hear he dinner gong
But can hear thy ceaseless song.
All songs of dreamy afternoon,
With girls and birds and books in tune,
Thou drown'st in notes more harsh than sin
With thine eternal senseless din.
And then at evenings holy hour
cannot feel the sacred power
OF better thoughts on wings divin2,
For that distractlng squack of thine.
And when I fly at last to bed
To pillow bless my throbbing head.
Ere / can thank the silent night
hear thee clamoring with alright,
All day, all night, all other time,
With reason none. with less of rhyme,
Thy squaWksquawk wearies me--sO then,
Take this-"Bang! bang !-'squawk! "-

A Tale of CAnvasDaoks.

from JNc Iutt df0tt ud2ett6s
Mr.. Bateman was passionately fond OF can
vasback duck, which he imported into Eng
land. The canyasbaek was to be the piece de
resistance OF this particular Sunday feast OF
which MIR. Irving spoke. For DAYS before MIR.
Bateman had spent hours In close confabula-
lions with the cook respecting the prepara-
ton of the birds. The evening came. The
guests were sharp set. They had hors
d'puvres in plenty TO increase their zest for
the ducks. Al last the great moment arrived.
Horror on horror!!. Instead OF being hot and
frizZy-(that is the word Mr.. lrving used)-
the canvasbacke were cold and habby. From
that moment the spirits of the guests fell, and
fell from boiling point TO zero. They quaiied
bumper after bumper. and drank bottle after
bottle. or no avail. The horrible miscarriage
OF the canvasbacks weighed on host and
guests. They bade each other adieu tear
fully, and went home 10 their wives or their
lodgings, Time went on. and whenever Mr.
Irving met Mr. Bateman he always tried to
discover the reason OF the great canvasback
hascO. But without await Mr.. Bateman
was always silent on the subject. One day
the two men met at the club. "Bateman,
have you heard the newsY' asked MIR. Irving
in a sepulchrai tone OF voice 10 his host oi
that memorable sunday night. mo, what is
itY" "Thc cooks dead" replied Mr.. Irving.
more mournfully than ever. "Then I'm id
glad OF It," replied Mr.. Bateman. "Whyg"
exclaimed the other, rather shocked. ''He
cooked those canvasbacks over gas" And
Mr.. Bateman marched on never 10 recur 30
the subject again.
