Tartar and Soda, by the soluble phosphate of
lime and soda, the very nutritive value of
bread. and the bone-producing elements of

1t is certainly the best and most healthy
bread-raising preparation ever offered to the
public, and every mother that has the health
of her children at heart should use no other.

the right to control the railroads, which
carried with it the right to control the

to develop that fact, and he wanted 10
hear no more OF the uncOnsIitutiOnality
Of the bill. The bill was passed very
nearly AS il WIS reported by the com
mittee, the vote standing A TO III its
favor. This matter has been hanging
fire n long time, and this disposition OF
it in the Senate is In accordance with
the wishes OF the people again and again
expressed in State platforms and party
| declarations. For the interests OF the
commerce of the country it is sincerely
10 be hoped that the bill will speedily
become law.
TnE action so far taken by the Cen
eral Conference of the Methodist Epis-

strong conservative feeling in that body
and few changes are likely to be made.
Tux ministerial crisis continues and

The Grain Committee have left for st.

The facts ELECTED have been two; the
strike paralyzed all labor and business,
and WAS caused by the order Of the Ex-
ecutive Board Of the X. of l.. The tes-
timony OF knights Of Labor, In innumer-
able instances, was that they struck be-

convention capital to suit the occasion.
The reports of the meeting Of labOrlng
men at Mckinney, TO secure represen-
tatiOn in the County Convention, were
doctored by the correspondent OF the
Dallas Morning News to suit the
schemers. 1t will be in order to expect
all kinds OF reports concerning meetings
OF workingmen and farmers from now
on. That the intention OF the old ring
sters is to throw dust In the eyes Of the
people and blind them to the true
strength OF this granger-wOrkingmen's
movement is only too apparent. The
dodge is too transparent. The people
are not to be deceived this fall, and the
part that the working people OF Texas
are going to take in politics from now
on will not be to play second fiddle for
the political dance at the mere instance
of some SHARP Alick OF correspondent.

The St Louis Globe is hard
ly as consistent in its utterances on great
moral questions rs such a professed ex-
ponent OF great moral ideas should be.
When 1t denounces violence among labor
ers as the sum of all yillainies, and then
glorifles lynch law rs the means Of sup
pressing horse stealing, 1t hardly main
tains its claim as the great Christian
daily of st. Louis. The teacher whom
the Christian world has united In accept
ing as authority has said that man is
much better than sheep, but it may be
the st. Louis mouthpiece of Christianity
does not consider that the human ap-
praisement rates as high as a horse, I'M
less, perhaps, 1t has black skin. The
Democrat will either have to reconstruct
its theology, or its appreciation of human
rights and wrongs, or its endorsement of
lynohing as remedy for horse stealing
one Of the three.
GALVESTON gets the conve ntion, and
poor San Antonio did not have a single
vote. What has the Times been doing
to Itself that the Democracy, Of which
1t is the faithful and supposed to- be
accepted exponent, should treat 1t thusIy.
The Fort Worth Gazette calls upon
the Democracy to organize, as the dems-
gogue is abroad in the land. The old
cry Of carpet-bag is heard and the fool
killer is called on In vain. The Democ-
racy OF Texas will have abundant cause
for squirming before the grangers and
workingmen lose their grip. The I'M
broken Democratic succession has
worked Its sweet will with poor, patient
Texas-squandered its lands. inaugur-

the freedom of the press, introduced
convict labor, and cannot bs saved from
