A PESsIMIsT VIEW.

The Fort Worth Gazette, whose ability
is unquestioned, and which stands in the
very front rank of journalism in the
southwest. continues to intimate that the re
is danger to the democracy lurking in tie
Knights of Labor and Farmers alliance
organizations in this state. Doubt
less the Gazette bases its
views on the local action,
and local action only, of these societies in
Tarrant, Collin and one or two other
counties in which separate tickets, based
on these organizations, were put out.
In this case it will not do to depart from
a we'll known rule OF logic, that what APP
plies to part cannot be held to apply to
the whole Ifsome local lodges of knights
of Labor have joined in with 4
localized section of the Alliance, and
enunciated ticket certainly not in con
formity with the democrats, it does not
follow this is to be a general policy adopt
contrary the, declarations of leading and
representative members of both orders
have all along been that they are absolute
ly non-political. A short time ago
prominent organizer of the Alliance
in this state asserted his organization had
no political object.
Even supposing, as the Gazette asserts,
the two orders in Texas have desire to
enter the political arena in the present
campaign, why should the great
body of either especially those
who are citizens of the
stlte-be antagonistc to the democracy:
Where is the citizen of Texas, be he an
Alliance man or Knight of Labor, whose
interest does not lie with the democratic
party of the state? Are they not all inter
ested in tariff reduction, and in the great
issues on which the party in Texas
has aligned itself! Why should
they, therefore, array themselves
in open opposition to the democratic
party of Texas, or, as some have limited,
secretly conspired to destroy the party
from within, after having gained access
to its councils as spies in a military camp!
Why should the Knights or the Alliance
seek to oppose or destroy party which is
essentially fighting for their interests as
citizens of Texas? To affirm that such is
the fact would be to put the members of
both orders down in the list of those who
cannot comprehend their own interests,
and knowing, have not the courage or the
capacity to espouse and defend. We sim
cerely hope the Gazette may be mistaken
in this instance, while doing it the justice
to say it is seldom mistaken.

The MARKETS.
FINANCIAL & COMMERCIAL

AUSTIN, June 15.-The last seven days have
witnessed a continued improvement in the general
improvement in the trade OF the city, instead of a
decline, as is usual at this period of the year The
improvement may be considered due to the i'm
provement in crop prospects, consequent of the
late rains.
A feature of the week is the decline in the wool
business, the season being about closing.

Mr.. Holmes, tho engineer Of the
water works at Hornse;l, England hns
adopted an ingenious arrangement for
tiltering and purifying the water supplied
by the company there. The process is
thus described by The Sanitary World;
The water Is pumped from a bore whose
bottom is on a level with the surface Of
tho Mere. the water being obtained from
tho chalk Formerly it was far from
satisfactory, and forMed such n scale
upon the boilers that Il materially af-
fccted their workings, Mr.. Holmes Set
himself the task of remcdying this state
Of things The water has always been
pumped into n tank, aud supplied thence
to the town. Mr.. Holmes llad q wooden
tank formed inside tho larger one, and he
50 spread out tho water pumped upward
that II descended into the wooden tank
in the form Of rain, The air, getting 10
tho water as It descended, oxidizei It,
and, Of course, made II purcr. Inside
this wooden tank several smaller tanl;v
wT0 constructed. through which all the
water passed. The sides Of the smaller
tanks we've made Of prepared linen, and
Os the water passed through them they
caught M tic impurities which Il held in
suspension As the water flowed from
the upper tank into the lower, from
which the town Is supplied, Il %as sent
rippling over gravel, which further I'M.

trivance Is admirably adaptel for the

". r, Som,er, of Fort Worth, Tex,
has u maidstone that has been used over
100 times aid with success. It has a
history, In ts4S Capt. Wilson, Of Ala.
bama, killed n white deer. and, knowing
the Indian theory, looked in its stomach
and there found q stone as large as a
goose egg that resembed petrified
sponge, This was the maidstone. The
Indian theory is that the white deer Is
more susceptible to vegetable poisons
taken into the stomach when eaten with
grass than other animals. To preserve
the life Of the animal, nature has placed
in the stomach this porous stone, which
absorbs the poison, neutralizes it and
saves the dCer's life. The stone, applied
to a bite into which poison has been IN.
jected, at once draIsit out, and when
rs pores are filed drops on. Being
soaked in milk, the stone Is made puro
again and ready for another application.
