John Howard, Esq, o: AID for Texas, oouthern
Hotel City:
MY DEAR SIR sm fully aware how
great an interest you lake in everything,
which has for It's ooj sct the welfare End
advancement Of your adopted state,
Texas; ior that reason beg to csll your
attention to the Importance Of presenting
her claims to recognition through the
medium OF the proposed dlsplay Of her
v2ried resources ct our exposition this
seas n, September to October 20 prox.,
SIS now contemplated, ss full snd com
plete as possible, for which have given
your stste ample space.
Ihave carefully noted the methods you
have adopted, and the Eeforts you are
making, to bring your state to the front
where she properly belongs. l believe
you have done and are doing all that any
man can do to further her Interests, and
take pleasure in saying, that If the citi-
L9ns and authorities OF Texas give you
the practical support which you unques-
tionsbly deserve, the next five years will
see such step forward towards q higher
and graD6er civihzati as will astonish
her people. This cannot be accomplished
however, without earnest, active and INTEL
igent work on the part CT al these inter.
eated TO that end. l can conceive no
better opportunity than to make an eX-
hibit Of her varied and valuable resources
st cur exposition. Side by side with
o.her states and territories, Intelligent
comparison can be made, and an oppor-
tunity be afforded the Thousands who at
tend on exposition, to judge for them
selves, Of the Inducements Texas has to
offer 10 all those who may contemplate
their home In the west, besides interest
ing capital in the development of your
state.
The Exposition management on behalf
OF St. Louis and her citlzens, extends TO
Texas and her people cordisl welcome
to come to her. The opportunity is At
forded you on the most liberal scale to
secure the advantages which an iltelli-
gent and comprehensive exhibit of your
products will undoubtedly possess. 1
am glad to see that your great state is
waking up and recognizing her possibili-
ties. Inaction or Indifference can snd will
destroy all the good which has been sc
complished hitherto; on the other hand,
loysl, organized effort will re-
suit in incslculable bsneht.
There can be no middle course. You
must either advance or retrograde. 1
think know the people of the southwest
sufficiently well TO sEy which course Hill
be pursued.
For yourself AID your work have
nothing but kind words and hearty sym
pathy, and from what already know of
both believe the best interests Of Texas
are safe in your hands. You will do snd
are dong your share; the responsibility,
in case of failure, from want Of practical
corporation from her citizsns must rest
upon them alone. Yours truly,
J H. JOHNSTON, Secretary.

WASHINGTON, Jane 11.-Many members
of congress are going to the Chicago con
vention. Representatives Henderson
ana Gear, of Iowa, left Saturday night
TO be on the ground early in the inter
est of Senator Allison. Maj. Mckinley,
of Ohio, will leave for his home Wednes-
day night. Mr.. Butterworth will go to
Cincinnati the same night, and both

ing so much missionary work for
Judge Gresham, will leave here Wednes.
day. Senator Farwell and possibly other
Illinoisans will probably leave for Chi
cago at the same time. The New Eng
land delegates will meet at Boston and go
to Chicago together. Senator Hoar, Rep
resentative BouteIle, and other members
from New England, will go to Boston
and join their delegations. TIE SEN
ate will probably adjourn from
Thursday until Monday to give
the republican members of that
body chance to go, and the business OF
the upper chamber will be so arranged
for the following week that nothing
which arouses strong objection will be
considered. Enough republican mem
bers of the house viii be left here to see
that the democrats do not take advantage
of the absence of many members to pass
the Mills tariff bill without proper con
sideration.

EN-RoUTE TO THE CONVENTION.

Oregon Jubilant That She is no Longer a Part
of the 'tRowdy West Gives her Delegates a
Grand Send Off,
PORTLAND, Ore, June 1.-THE Oregon
delegation to the republican national
convention left this city for Chicago last
night in body. They were accompan-
led by thousands of people to the depot
and as the train moved out deafening
cheers rang out through the air that
could tie heard miles away. They
were rendered perfect ovation
along their line of march through the
city and some of them were literally
peited with bouquets and flowers. They
wore q Joviai cast of countenance as
they boarded the train, and their constit-
uents say they expect to see them looking
even more smiling and happy on their
return as great political conventions are
beginning to realize the fact that
there is no such thing any longer in the
topography of the country as the s'rowdy
west" and even Oregon can lay equal claim
with older states TO presidential recogni-
ton and its equitable share of political
patronage and favors. The delegation
has resolved to make its voice heard and
Its influence felt in the convention.

Leonetti Cipriani Born in America of Italian
Parents and Reared here Seized and Held
by the Italian Army.
BALTIMORE, June Sit has been an
nounced by cable that Leonetti Cipriani
grand son of Mary Worthington, of Bal
tinaore county who left Baltimore few
weeks ago to look after the settle
ment of the estate OF his
father count Cirnani, of the
Italian army who died recently in Italy
was placed under surveillance on his ar
rival at Leghorn upon the ground that
he was a subject of the italian govern
ment and liable to be impressed into
the italian army as his father was sub
ject of the Italian government and that
he (Leonetti) never having been natural
lied as an American citizen, was also a
subject of that government.
Mr.. Cipriana was born in Baltimore
and has lived in Maryland all his life.
His attorney is IN consultation with the
department OF state at Washington en-
deavoring to secure the interposition of
the United States government to secure
his release. The Italian authorities claim
that nothing short of actually renounc-
ing his allegiance to the italian govern
ment and being naturalized as citizen
of the United States is sufficient TO re-
lease him from being subject of the
italian government.

PRESIDENTIAL BEES RUNNING.
OpiniOns.of the Agitat0rs Think

0piniOns.of the Agitators-IowaianS Think the
Fight Narrowing Down to Three Men,
CHICAGO, jane 1.-THE Representatives
of five presidential booms are in this city
tonight. Ayers and AlI1son's agents
who were first on the ground were rein
forced early by Sherman's proxy, and to-
night spokesman for Harrison was
added. Politicians from abroad are max
ing the acquaintance of Judge Gresham,
who resides at the Palmer
house. His supporters held an
open meeting tonight and number of
speeches were made. At Allisons head
quarters quite group Of Iowaians J. S.
CIarkson, chairman of the Iowa delega-
ton and member of the national re-
publican committee express the opinion
that the contest over the nomination was
narrowing down to three men one of
them being Senator Allison. It is being
generally recognized in the east, he said,
that Allison is a candidate standing for
the principle of protection in the north
west as against the new line in the party
led by powerful party newspapers set up
for tariff reform. He will
have great strength in the country
west of the Mississippi. He has strength
in the south and a great deal of strength
in Connecticut, Rhode Island, Maine and
Vermont. I believe the undertone at
present is stronger toward Allison than it
is conceded that his candidacy is without
antsgonisn and that he will be able to
command the full party vote in every
state"
Senator Harrison's interests are being
looked af ter by Charles E. Griffin, the In
diana secretary of state. He said: Thur
mans nomination is a play into the
hands of Harrison. It makes Indiana
more than ever a doubtful state. The
people of Indiana want Harrison. They
are not hostile to Gresham but Harrison
is their choice and every delegate
is pledged to his support, just as long as
there is chance to win him.
VS.. Cappellar, chairman of the re-
publican state committee of Ohio
champions the cause of Sherman. He says:
"We do not put Sherman forward
because Thurman is to be feared
but because he is the strongest man in
the field. AS for Thurman his nomin-
alton is not strong one in Ohio"
Frank J. Hecker and George Fl. Hop
kins are here in the interest of Alger.
They were iubiIant over the
expressions of Patrick Egan
and other Irish Americans favoring
AIger in preference TO Gresham. HecLer
limited that others surprises were
in store. As nearly as could
be judged by surface indi
cations the AIger agent hoped to di-
vide the Gresham phalanx in Illinois hy
capturing a portion of the old support
ers of Logan.

servattyes Are Not.
BERLIN, June 9.-The fall of Herr Won
Puttkamer, vice president of The Prus-
sian ministerial council and Prus-
sian minister of the interior has caused
immense jubiIation in the radical camp.
Herr Richter, in the Freisinnige ascribes
his downfall directly to his speech
in the landstag, and closes his exult-
ant article with the exclamation: 'Long
live the Kaiser; may God preserve his
strength. IF he does so, many other
things in Prussia and Russia also will
improve" Satisfaction is expressed by
the government party from
the Kaisers yielding to
Prince Bismark's representation that
it would never do to veto the quin-
quinnial parliament to furnish radical
opposition as pretext to boasi that the
Kaiser had sided with it against his own
cabinet and the conservative majority is
dampened by the prospect of an imperial
rescript.
The Cologne Gazette and other govern
ment organs urge the emperor against

AS TO SALOON KEEPERS.

One thing can be said for saloon keep
ers as a class. It is, that whenever NUM-
cipal or state enactments bar them out of
business, they usually submit with good
grace. The Philadelphia Times, speak
ing of the effects of the license law in
that city, says:
The four thousand saloon keepers who
closed up their bars quietly on Thursday
night and went out of business in con-
formity with the provisions of the new
high license law are deserving of com
mendation. It is incumbent on all citi-
zens to obey the laws that are duly en-
acted, but the result OF the license de-
cisions has borne with unusual hardship
on this class of citizens, many of whom
have lost their only means of livelihood
and must begin the world anew. While
the 1udlcious enforcement of the law will
doubtless prove great public benefit it
must not be forgotten that this benefit
has been obtained at a great sacrifice to
the four Thousand who have been follow
ing the calling of saloon keepers and who
failed 20 secure license under the new law.
The quiet, orderly manner in which
many of them laid down the only otrcu-
patton of which they had any practical
knowledge speaks volumes for the in
grained respect which American citizens,
native and naturaIized, acquire for the
law. Even when it brings to them the
loss of a livelihood they accept its dictum
in manly and straightforward manner
which all should recogn iZe and ap-
preciate.

ton from the general association of con-
gregational churches of Illinois, protest
ing against the recent order of the COM
missioner of Indian affairs forbidding the
use of the vernacular in Indian schools.

interfering with missionary work be
promptly countermauded.
