mand congressional action the issue might
lave a far-reaching effect upon the his
tory of the republic.
Good ROADS-

Every farmer and every merchant in
Tarrant county has vital interest in the
construction of roadways that will serve
their purpose in all sorts of weather.
That rains should PROVE an embargo upon
trade and travel in a county like Tarrant
is sad reflection upon its business sense.
In bad weather the farmer cannot per-
form work in the field; but if the roads
were passable he could attend to those
matters away from home, to which he
must give attention when roads permit,
and at a season when he could do needed
work at home. Good roadWays are to
the farm what railroads and rivers are
to the town, and have CORES
ponding effect in land values
and on the prices of everything pro-
duced on the farm. Good roads are
clvIIlzers and educators and enable the
farmer to overcome the isolation which
most stands in the way of his progress to
better condition.
A call has been issued for county
SOiN VI all anu
of Tarrant county, to meet at the court
house in Fort Worth, on Saturday, De-
cember %, 1888, at II O'Clock, to con-
slider the question of public roads, and to
formulate petition to the legislature to
enact law by which counties
can issue bonds for the purpose
of improving our county roads.
This county convention should represent
every precinct in Tarrant. 1t will not
only formulate its own views on the sub
Ject of good roads, but, perhaps, select
delegates to the state convention to be
held at Dallas on the 9TH prox. This
question concerns every citizen of the
country and should receive at least from
all sections the attention of a representa-
tive attendance ON the convention at Fort
Worth on Saturday, the 10Th inst.

Sidney Dillon hair is as white as

Frauds North and south.
Chicago Herald.


What is the meaning of all this clatter
about the South? The popular majority
for Cleveland in the so-called Southern
states is but 100 GOO more than the popu-
lar majority for Harrison in the so-caIled
Northern states. There is not as much
evidence of intimidation and fraud at the
election in the South Us there is in the
North. There is every reason to believe
that the vote in Georgia, for example, or
i'll Kentucky, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia
and many other Southern states
was less influenced by bribery and
intimidation than was the vote in In
diana and New York. Yet for month
past the mouthpieces of the victorious
party have kepl up such racket over
Southern frauds and Southern methods
as might lead the ignorant and thought
less to suppose that something afro ious
had happened III a section, where half u
dozen states were saved 10 the Democracy
by only the narr0weSt margins.
The real reason for all this may ba
found i'll the fear of exposure of the cor
ruptionS ut the North. With sufficient
Indignation aroused over imaginary
frauds at the South, IL is calculated that
the Northern stomach will be able to
stand any amount of deviltry on the part
of Dudley and Quay.

4 GOOD UORE.


Behold what little fire kindleth! One
year ago THE GAZETTE began an immi-
grafton agitation and plea for low rail-
road excursion rates to Texas. Not all
was done in Texas that was hoped for,
and yet that interstate convention recently
held ut Montgomery was direct outcome
of the agitation in Texas. And to-day
the newspapers of the whole Union are
noting the effort of the South in this di-
rection. The little fire started in Fort
Worth is blazing now to the benefit of all
the South and, therefore, of all the
Union. THE GAZETTE is prond of the re-
suits of the work suggested TO it in a
conversation with john Howard ON ex-
cursion rates to Texas. And yet there
be a few WHO think THE GAZETTE works
only for Fort Worth.

Grace troubles'' in Mississippi; rage
troubles in Tennessee; race troubles i'll
South Carolina; and all since the tri-
umph of Republicanism. 1t will be a
blessed day for the negro when he learns
that he is not "a ward of the nation; ; ;
that under no political sway will he have
''forty acres and q mule' given to him
out of confscated property of
white men, and that the sooner
he begins TO look to his
own individuality rather than to any
party, the sooner will come his progress
TO a higher paine Republcapism freed
the negro but subjected him to a parti-
san dependence that has retarded his prog
ress. Republicanism no longer holds out
fantastic prospects TO the negro and in
this has done much for him. When the
negro thoroughly learns to depend upon
himself only he viii advance at speed
surprising to himself.
'-The negro is free, and when he learns
how to be free he will realize all the
benefits of freedom, and he will never
learn how to be free as long as he expects
some special benefit to himself from the
success of any political party.

WoRKlNGMEN'S CLUBS.
An Address on Capitalization and Federation
Delivered by Well known Chi:
cago Agitator.

CHICAGO, I'LL, Dec. lS.-It is learned
that secret meeting of the Central La
Dor Union and Trades Assembly had,
Sunday night, Albert Currilin, a well
known agitator, deliver an address on
Capitalization and federation advocating
the federation plan, which he said has
been adopted by the International
Union - ''ln this SYSTEM he said,
"the laborers are organized in little
groups of from five to twenty members or
more. Then there is not so much danger
from spies. Little groups do not arouse
suspicion and cannot be watched and
cannot be hindered by the police. In
case of 4 conflict with capitalists the lit
tie but numerous groups can act more
successfully and cause more damage
to the enemy without running
great risk of detection. The police have
pervaded our public meetings. This
arouses Indignation among the working
men aud causes them to Join our societies
more numerously. 1t is now the best
time TO spread agitation over the town.
The spring election is coming and the
wOrkmen take more interest ut this time
of the year than usually. We can bring
1hCiii AiiuSh eHsl0i Iu5ObhVi lu'tH at any
other. We would therefore suggest
the organization OF workingmen s
ward clubs. This should be done
not only i'll Chicago, but
in all the suburban towns. We should
begin the great task at once. We will
be able to control the greater part of the
workingmen, and in q case of conflict
with capital, which may come in the
near future, they viii be ready to accom-
plish the social revolution.
Mir. ,Gurrilin made this as a motion.
1t was &1opted unanimously, and the or
ganizatfon of ward clubs will be begun
Immediately.

to. the construction it cap be built for
about one-third the cost Of the ordinary
steam fire engine. A very important
consideration is that, like all motors, it
starts up Immediately under full speed /.
1t is safer and easier of control. 1t is
noiseless and much more economical.
That this last point is true is perfectly
evident. The expense for fuel for the
present engine in use is considerable, By
tapping the wires overhead fuel is pro-
vided gratis. The above advantages are
claimed by the inventor and many of
them seem important, and if the claims
can be spbstautiated, the invention will
soon be in universal use.

The Remarkable Story Told by COlOyed wosgs

JERSEY CITY, n. J., Dec. 14.-Physi-
clans are interested in the case of Julia
Cisco, a middle-aged colored woman
whose skin has turned white. She is a
widow woman and resides in Rock street,
near Summit avenue, Jersey City
Heights. Three years ago Warden Os-
horne of the city hospital called at her
home to remove sick man and had
conversation with Mrs. Cisco, who, he
says, was then as black as the average
negro. She visited the city hospital yes
terday with her grandson, who was sick,
and Warden Osborne failed to recognize
her, and when she recalled their CONVEX
sation three years ago, it was difficult to
conyince him that the colored woman he
, then met and the white woman who stood
sbefore him We're Identical. Mr.. Osborne
asked the woman to tell him about the
change of her skin. With marked ne
gro accent, she then told this story: ,ai

ELECTRICAL FIRE ENGINES.
Professor Wheeler's Greatest Application Of
Observation-Disclosures of the New Method.
Commercial Bulletin.

About the most recent Invention for the
application of electricity is Professor
Wheeler's electrical fire engine. 1t is
intended to be worked by the current of
any of the overhead electric light wires
The principal difference in the invention
to the ordinary steam fire engine is that
the power is obtained from motor in
stead of the steam chest. Each of the
new engines will carry a reel of some 500
feet of insulated fine copper wires, bound
together cable fashion, so as to equal in
strength No. wire for the transmits
sion of the current. AS by this method
the engine can be placed anywi1e, as
the wires overhead can be tapEdnny-
where, the engine will be placeE narer
the fire than by the old methSl$ sPhe
powerful current OF an arc light sffreswin
not be required, that of the oHa1arE in
caudescent circuit being OF uAcfsn t pos
tential TO run the motor ~
The advantages claiIsd for thi4Saew
method are many. In xhe A1stsaa4Ee it,
is much lighter, and mich greafer need
can therefore be attained. Again ,6&iQ3s::
