Sghst a Schoolrnste of Garfield Thinks

FORT WORTH, TEN March "A, lass.
To the Editor of the Gazette.
"As to himself he would say that the
nomination and election of Grover Cleve-
land has made the pretenstons of an
American citizen to the presidency re-
spectacle. There was no man in this
country whose ignorance WAS so pro-
fund, whose obsCurity so impenetrsble,
whose antecedents so graded, that he
mad not right to aspire TO the presi-
dental nomination by the Democratic
party.n
The above is the language of Senator
Ingalls, of Kansas, spat out in the Sen
ate chamber of the United States without
the least provocation, and is direct in
suit to the President and every American
citizen who csst his vote for MIR. Cleve-
land.
Such language from John James, If
made outside of and detached from the
dignity of the seat he is permitted to oc-
cupy, would have but little significance
or weight, and more especially so with
those who know the mar. But made by
e Senator and in the Senate, 1t goes out
to the world with something Of official
sanction and is misleading.
The Republican press OF the bloody shirt
stripe have made pufball Of John James
and wrought up his always oyer-strGlned
estimate of himself until ne now believes
he is "trooly" q great man. His great
ness, however, in the estimate OF those
who know him best, consists Of an ever
ready disrrhp4 of low down vtuperS-
tons. He is never "costive" in the use
of language. He controls at will the
power to discharge more inuento,
more nsmby-psmby stuff, more of the
pus of diseased thought, more Of the ex-
creserces Of pUtrid mind, more Of the
slush of untrutb, more Of the scabs Of in
decency, and more of the slime, filth and
gangrene and dead issues than any man
now living. In thig, ard this only, John
james is truly great. II.

The Sugar TAX.
Philadelpnla Record.

The sugar tax is one Of the least op-
pressive OF the tariff taxes, for the reason
that seven eighths OF it goes into The fed
eral treasury and is applied TO the ex-
peuses OF government which, in any
event, the taxpayer is compelled to bear.
The taxes which sre most gIievous sre
those, like the steel rail tax, which cost
the taxpayers many millions of dollars,
but which do not 90 into the public treas
ury or aid in the payment of public debts
or expenses. But the danger OF
protective taxation is notably illustrated
by the advantage that has been taken Of
the sugar tox by the Sugar Trust in order
to fleece the consumers Of sugar. It has
been estimated that the advance in prices
effected by the operations Of the Sugar
Trust will sid TO the cost of this neces-
ssry article $4,000, 600 year. OF course,
s repeal Of the duty On refined sugar
would break down the price to the Euro
pean rate Nice grsnulsted sugar sells ID
London for about cents pound.

A Word for John sherman.

AURORA, TEN, March Is, 1883.
To the Editor of the Gazette.
noticed in your issue of March ~ an
article headed "John Sherman's Conspir-

there is difference between committee
and convention, as follows:
DALLAS, TEX, March 1S.-It seems that ia
clerical error in the printed circular calling the
committee to meet in Dallas on the 9th inst
created the Impression that the committee had
voted to hold the convention in Dallas. Thisis
mistake. The call is simply for meeting Of
he Democratic Executive Committee of thirty
one, no vote having been taken as to prefer
ence for place of holding either convention

Litchfeld (Ill.) News,

Miss Anna Gopher, who went to Fort
Worth, Tex, some weeks ago, retprHed
home last night and is an Enthusiastic
admirer OF Texas, Fort Worth in particu-
lar. She is lavish in her praise Of the
climate, the water, and the energy and
pluck of the people. In returning home
she took in Kipgman. Kan, and was IN
fortunate enough to meet the recent cy-
clone that tore that little city up from
center to circumference, and says, "don't
stop.in Kansas, but go on to Texas if you
must leave Illinois. Texas is first choice,
Illinois next, but Kansas never. Her de-
scription Of the cyclones work st King
man is graphic, and we are certain that
little escaped her that could be SEEN by
the human eye, ard her mind retsins vivid
recollections of it all. She is much I'M
proved by her visit.

Chicago Herald.

AS in 1877, the railroads have fallen to
fighting. Brakemen and swiichmen will
be asked to make good the losses incurred
in the present competition for freight,
and when the brakemen and switchmen
shall make trouble, the states will call
out their militia to compel such sn ad-
justment of the difficulty as shall permit
earnings on the basis of "fxed charges"
and wars. T2ere is reason to believe
that this particular competition-or
"war," as railroad competition is always
cslled-will give sufficient excuse to the
advocates Of pooling to enable them to
form the beginning Of the forthcoming
railway trust. AS in Standard
Oh, il will not be necessary
for all the railroads to belong to
