taxed bondholder, appreciate. L remem-
Der how proud Of my country was when
our bonds touched par in London. They
crept beyond, to a premium, and the
labor Of the country which carried the
load, as the camel carries sugar while he
feeds on thistles, omitted NO emotion
OF patriotic pride, and still wrought
IS early and SIS late to pay taxes
to pay bonds representing the
phenomenal prices, and discounts
and premiums which fertilizsd the orgsn-
lied and protected interests Of this coun-
try. Certainly the yeomanry OF the
country had earned 8 respite. They had
fought war to successful issue; had re-
stored the public credit and were still
paying taxes to produce an annual sur
plus Of millions over the public needs of
the government. A merciful man is mer-
ciful to his beast, and surely govern
ment should not be less to its citizens.
They had been like the spoon which
but gets none itself, and had not
grumoJed. To force from them an IN
necessary tax to produce surplus
for which the government had no use was
the reverse of sound policy. Both par
ties had said so, and, after the fashion OF
politicians, each had laid the blame upon
the other, and each had asked the coun-
try TO believe that it alone would apply
the remedy. But both failed, and looked
on, insensible to the danger, while un-
necessary taxation withdrew from the
people and from the arteries of commerce
and the active enterprises Of the country
a surplus larger every year than the total
federal revenues were IN 1860. The
country had its arteries cut and
WAS bleeding to death, while the poll
ticians berated each other for not ap,
plying q styptic, and Mr.. Blaine was
loftily lecturing the newspapers upon the
use that might be made Of the blood.
Upon such scene issued the President,
to remind the unfsithtul of their promises
dishonored, and the greedy of the danger
of eating their seed wheat to the jeopardy
OF future harvests.
Both parties were pledged TO reduce
tariff taxation down to the actual needs
Of the government. Confronted with this
promise, Mr.. Blaine replies that the way
to reduce the surplus is to spend it, and
his party affects to discover that when IL
comes to reducing taxation Americans
want free pipe and glass"

GARLAND, TEX, Feb. 2S.-The name Of
Garland as the name of town is s new
one to the people of Texas. Il is the
self-same place which once boosted snt
dotted on the name of Duck Creek. The
town of Embree is situated to the south
of Garland about 400 yards, as the crow
dies. The town of Embree is thorn II
the side of Garland, or vice versa. Boil
towns have beel at war for the past twelI {
months, the possession Of the pos.offic
being the object and prize which eacf
town desired to hold. Embree had shoIi
respite and was honored by the postofict
being named in unison with the town

ing the pesky thing moved down hard by
their own bailiwick. It is needless to
say that this made the people Of Garland
happy. They were jubilant, and COZ.
gratulations and handshakiDgs were the
order OF the day. Cannons were
not fired, because they had
none, but dollars worth OF
sky rockets were fired, lighting up the
inky blackness Of the night with brilliant
flames, which caused the people of En-
b-ee to stand looking on with wonder snd
establishment, exclaiming: "Dunder snd
bitten! They have taken our darling
away from us. Let US pray that they may
tenderly care for her."

things have happened in "thess dggin's"
and il would be no surprise to your cor
respondent If portable postoffics WAS or
dered for these twin, though very quar-
relsome towns. Both sides ere deter
mined to carry their point, and st present
it appears to the wsyfarirg mai that the
trouble over the prize is far from adjust

s1d all that is needed to make them grow
and flourish is capital. Moneyed men are
needed to push them on.

the Embree Enterprise and The other the
Garland News. Both are good papers,
well pstroniz ed by the merchants Of their
respective towns. The simple fact that
two papers can exist in q community
where ordinarily one could hardly live
shows the vim snd spirit Of these people.

BLAINE AND TIE TaRLFF.

Discussing Mr.. Blaine and the tariff in
the North American Review for March,
John P. Irish says: "Mr. Blaine admits
the prosperity and uniform secretion. of
wealth which followed the tariff in 1916,
but ascribes them to the discovery Of
gold In California and the Crimean war.
But he makes Of the tariff of 1862 the
Alsddin's lamp which is alone responsible
for what wealth has been created since,
crediting nothing to the measureless con-
sumption during the war and the
profits of double discounts given
to manufacturers and contractors, which,
with high prices and high interest added,
al reappeared in bonds representing
the national debt, to be paid by the labor
of the country. That burden was cheer
fully taken up and SO calamity carried
that the taxpaying people had the pleasure
of seeing the bonds, owned by the non

TIE mSOUTHERN GIL. ~

One of Mrs. Langtry's troupe Miss
Issacs of st. Louis-is quite wrsthy. She
was dismissed recently from the troupe
on account of her refusal to play s part
assigned her, and she writes the New York
Herald that she is q "brave, courageous
southern girl" who will "defend her
honor" She means war, and says:
"And If this Mrs. Laugtry will continue
to send me her reporters, telling me she
has bought the Chicago newspaper men,
and her attacks continue their abusive
opinions of me, why will horsewhip
tout ID sacra cagnail, Lsngtry included.
Please excuse the swearing, but then it's
In French" 1t might not be amiss to OBJ
serve that Miss Issacs is very poor sort
Of q southern girl. Southern girls do
not parade themselves In newspapers. II
southern girls honor needs defense,
there are thousands Of southern men
ready to defend 1t. Miss Isascs says she

In our railroad columns this morning
will be noted q cut designed by the Tar
rant County immigration Society. It is
unique in conception and suggestive Of
the powerful IL fiuences which are making
of Fort Worth the great city Of Texas.
Upon 8 pyramid of railroad trunks is
Fort Worth's grip, and glance at the

a BLOODY PAGE.

Yesterday was red letter day in the
history of Texas journalism. There was
q record of crime and vice and wicked
ness seldom seen. THE GAZETTE con-
tanned an account of train robbery in
Arkansas, where two men robbed the ex-
press car and made away with several
thousand dollars. These social events
are becoming SO common that people pay
little attention to them. 1t might be
asked how man on the inside of a car
can be overpowdered by two men on the
outside of car, or scared into surrender
ing, but no matter. The arrest Of Bea-
son, the supposed Gainesville murderer.
revives one of the most horrible crimes
ever perpetrsted. The lynching Of
young Forsythe for the murder Of
the treasurer Of Panola county
was another incident where crime was
punished with crime, and where the pen
atty of violating the laws Of God and man
was paid with second violation of these
same laws. The Wichita Falls tragedy,
the slaughter of seven negroes in Whar-
ton county, the poisoning Of family in
San Antonio and frAtricide in Ten
nessee made up one of the most horrible
chapters ever issued in one day. There
must be something in the atmosphere. It
is seldom that cluster of crimes Of such
atrocity can be found.

until it is lost to view, while here and there
is gaping rent that tells of death wound
received by one of the cembatants. A thou
sand yards distant the Little Rebel is sinking.
A shot has gone through her machinery and
torn deep hole in her side, through which
the water is pouring in torrent Conmo-
dere Montgomery (who had changed his flag
from the Van Dorm to the Little Rebel early
in the action because the former contained
100000 pounds of powder, and was prac-
tlcally out Of the fight had recklessly run
alongside Federal gunboat, hoping to disable
her, but in few moments finds his craft
going down, and with the crew he jumps into
the river and swims to the Arkansas
shore. 1t is a running fight for miles. The
Thompson lodges on the river bank, and,
an exploding shell igniting her magazine,
she Is blown into fragments. The Bragg and
Sumter, although run ashore, are captured.
The Van Dorm, with her valuable cargo of
stores taken from Fort Pillow, and trans
port similarly loaded, alone escape. The
Confederate fleet is annihilated. The Fed
eral squadron now come to anchor, small
boats begin to ply back and forth; the trans
ports steam up to their landings: whistles
blow their hallelujahs; the men cheer; the
stars and stripes wave over forty different
decks, and in an hour Or two the two regi-
ments of an Indiana brigade, under COM
mand of Col. G. N. Fitch, take possession of
Memphis" The Confederate loss in this bat
tie was estimated to be 100 killed and
wounded, and about $50 captured. On the
Union side. Col. Ellet received wound in
the leg from which he subsequently died, and
three men on the Carondelet were injured.
