MOUNTSTUART.
Lord Bute's Magnificent New Palace Near
Kothesay.


Kothesay.
The rebuilding of Mountstuart, Lord
Bute's palace, near Rothesay. has been
completed. and it is one of the most
magnificent mansions in Great Britain.
The house covers an acre. and is in the
medieval Gothic style of the thirteenth
century. The walls, turrets and bal
comics are built of stone brought from
quarry in ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS. In the
center is an immense tower one hum
dred and twenty feet high, with wide
balcony all around the top.
The great hall is constructed entirely
of alabaster and the rarest marbles, with
columns and gallery: and the grand
staircase is also of marble brought from
Sicily and Carrara The drawing rooms
are paneled with walnut and beautifully
decorated. and so are the dining-rooms,
the largest of which accommodates
eighty guests. The ceilings and
.chimney-pieces of all these rooms are
most artistic. and so also are the win
dows. the work of which are extremely
elaborate. There are three immense
libraries and a billard-room, all with
carved stone tireplaces of antique de-
sign.
In one wing are Turkish and swim
ming baths, and there are large con-
servatories and a private chapel. The
whole house is heated by hot.water
pipes and lighted throughout by incan-
descent lamps. In the gallery will be
hung the famous Luton Hod collection
of pictures which have recently been
exhibited at Bethnal Green. Glasgow
and Manchester. The building. decor
ating and furnishing of this place have
cost nearly million.-London World.

Porter. the author Of this Voice OF
Labor. y upon the utterances OF the $4,000
workmen, as to its "showlng that there
EXISTS among the trades and labor
organizations OF this country whole
some sentiment on the tariff question"
Is All nbosh - as far as the generality
of the question is concerned. He no
doubt is a protectlonist, for he has been
trained In a school of that kind and
NAV he he Is honest In his belief. A
high protective tariff is against the prin-
ciples of the majority of the Knights OF
Labor. But, You say Mr.. Powderly is a
strenuous high protective man. on,
yes, should suppose that he wae, living
and having lived in high protective
region all his life. These ideas have
been inculcated from childhood
but that does not keep him
from enforcing laws which he IS
elected 10 enforce, or UNFOLDING laws and
principles which he is elected to uphold,
any NOR than 1t would keep w. j. Swain
from enforcing the lease law just because
he voted against it, and because he did
not believe It was for the best. Then
you quote few extracts from a speech
OF T. v. Powderly, grand master work
man OF the Knights of Labor, in which
be declared his tariff principles In 1888.
Well, he may be Democrat, too, for
some OF the strongest Democrats In the
United States are Knights Of Labor, and
vice versa. will not quote the extracts
Of Mr.. powderly's speech, as you have
already printed them, but THE GAZETTE
goes on TO say that "these quotations
from the Voice Of Labor SO fortify the as
sertlon Of THE GAZETTE that the Knights
of Labor and their general master are a
protectionist organization az To make
further proof superhuous." Then, after
designating the place oil the birth as the
very hot-bed of protection, THE GAZETTE
asks Now, with these things understood,
Will the farmers OF Texas be msde dupes
Of? answer, no sir! they will not, I'M
less they listen to such things and believe
such things as THE GAZETTE has written
heretofore, and may write again, about
the Knights Of Labor and Farmers ALI
ance. AS already written The GAZETTE
would like to get up row between the
Knights and alliance, for the principles
of cooperation upheld by them do not
look enough like Capitalization TO suit the
ideas of It's editor. AS for general news,
THE GAZETTE is decidedly the best paper
In Texas, but as to knowing anything
about the general distribution OF the
Voice ofLabor 1t is off, entirely off.

frankly by that gentleman; aud, TO un-
biased minds, there is nothing In them.
The young lady whom he gave employment
TO was the daughter OF an old ond poor
man, and no kin to Mr., Swain. He gave
her work because there was work to do,
and she wanted TO do II In order to earn
an honest support. When the work was
through with the young lady's wages

trump up something better than the
charge of nepotism they had better quit.
Waxahaohie Mirror
Charges against Col. Swain, which
were trumped up III the interest Of Ross,
have disappeared like chaff before Jones
county breeze. An Investigation of the
charges preferred by ex-Comptroller
Brown was made by one of the editorial
STAFF Of the Fort Worth GAZETTE. It was
developed by the investigation that NAL
ice and desire to injure Swain was all
that the charges contained. SO far from
iniuring him, 1t will only be of material
assistance. The man who Is unjustly
and wrongfully treated or accused, re-
ceives vast amount Of sympathy from
Northwest Texas, and the Brown attack
has made Swain ten friends where 1t has
created one enemy. He will receive the
nomination for governor on the first bal

TIE @. a. r. IN POLITICS.

An incident recently occurred In Wash
ington to show that Northern politician
sometimes has the pluck to rebuke the
pension beggdfs, 1t also shows the vim.
dictiveness Of the pension beggars toward
all who stand between them and the treas
ury, and explains why congressman from
the North are so timid about voting
against pension bills.
The G. A. r. sent delegation to
Washington to see Congressman MorIi-
son and enlist his influence In behalf of
some new plan to take hundred OF
Two millions from the treasury. The
great revenue reiormer was found, and
Gen, Somebody-or.other unknown away
from home) began on him in long, sci
speech, pointing out the wearlsome
services and sufferings of the pa.
triots, and asking him to vote for
the pension bill. Morrison told
the committee that there was little hope
for pension legislation this session, as
the calendars were already oyercrowded,
and gave them to understand that he was
not very enthusiastic in favor Of their
bill. Thereupon they left in great rage,
and have already begun campaign to
beat Morrison next fall, The entire
power Of the G. A, II. win be exerted to
influence every possible voter in Nor
rlson's district to vote against him, and
the contest win probably take on ne
tional air.
What effect such warfare upon him
viii have upon Mr.. Morrisou's canvass
we do not know, but It Is disgraceful
that an honest representative OF the
people cannot oppose such grabs without
having the army Of graobers aud their
friends dogeing him. It will be s,illmore
dIsgraceiul II he Is defeated by the opposi-
ton Of such people. The danger is that
many reputable soldiers who belong to
the G., A, Il. will act against Morrison in
the belief that he has insulted their order,
They may not themselves be IN favor OF
ptomiscuous pensloning of everybody
who was drafted or sent substitute TO
the war, aud on direct issue between
Morrison and the pension-beggars they
would not be Influenced against him by

Texas is not alone as e sufferer from

the country indicate that the wheat crop
is cut short in some Of the great wheat
growing states by lack Of rain. Dry hot
winds have prevailed 10 Dakota aud Min
ncsota, scorching and whitening the
growing wheat In those states. The
drought Is also severely felt in wiseon

wheat aud oats viii make but a shor'

the wheat crop OF that state will not be
above II, 900, 900 bushels, about one.thirc
Of full yield. Missouri Is the only one
Of tine leading wheat-producing states
that promises full Yield, though Che
damage in Illinois Is not great.
In addition to this damage from
drought, insects are preying upon the
growing crops In Iowa, Illinois, Michi
gan, Indiana, Ohio and Kansas. In
Southern Illinois the chinch-bugs are

reported from isolated localities In
several states.

wheat in the country, and exporters and
