HEED THE WARNINGS.

An Austin special of late date contains
this bit of news:
A gentleman from Milan county says politi-
cal matters there were never before SO mixed
and confused. There Is chance OF Demo-
cratic split, between Democrats who favor and
those who oppose prohibition. While these
factions are warming up, the Union Labor asi-
ta.ors are at work and the Republicans are
watching to take advantage Of the dissensions
of their adversaries.
THE GAZETTE spoke Of the above as
"news." and 1t is, to some people. But
there are many who Will not be surprised
to read 1t. The situation in Milan coun-
ty is not exceptional or isolated, by
any means. In Q number OF Texas
counties the same state Of d-
fairs esther exists or Is threatened. And

Republicans and the Tariff.

The Republicans in Congress are begin
ming to realize the existence Of fatal di-
visions in their own ranks on the tariff
question. There are more Republicans
who would oppose Judge Kelly's pro-
gramme Of repeating the whisky tax than
there are Democrats who would support
so desperate fiscal policy. Whilst the
Republican leaders remain without a
policy Of revenue reduction, many west
ern Republicans will support the Mills
bill rather than have no bill at all. In
this situation the prospect Of the Mills
bill in the House grow brighter every
day. The Senate has never yet defeated
tariff bill.

NO CAUSE FOR ALARM.

Mr.. w. X. Farmer, VINO mas gained
some notoriety in Texas as labor sgita-
tor, speaking at Farmers Alliance and
Knights of Labor eetlngs, has broken
out afresh. He is enlisted now in what
is known as the Union Labor party. 1t Is
surmised that Mr.. Farmer has the Coz.
gressional bee in his bonnet; that he is
willing to measure strength with Hon.
"Buck" Kilgore, who, as Democrat. is
proving himsel! an able representative Of
one Of tho East Texas Congressional dis
tricts. Be this as 1t may, Mr.. Farmers
recent speech to Union Labor meeting
at Longview is indubitable evidence that
he has some kind Of racket to work
Any man who will get up and inveigle
against government such as we have in
this country, and declare that 1t is an
enemy of the people, to be conquered or
suppressed; who will eulogize Spies,
Parsons, Eagle and Lingg, comparing
them to Jesus Christ and George
Wsshington-has either a racket to work
or he is fanatic, not very dangerous
one, perhaps, but fanatic. Unless Mr..
Farmer is grossly misrepresented his
speech at Longview was an Endorsement
of anarchy, as q means Of promoting re-
form, snd on the other hand plea for
strong, paternal government, vested
with powers that would appal even the
boldest advocates of Capitalization. 1t is
queer times We have fallen upon in Texas,
when such doctrines as these are pro-
claimed from the rostrum at public meet
ings. 1t is q consoling reflection, how
ever, that almost any man can get an
audience in this country; the more start
ling his doctrines, the more people flock
to hear him. But many audiences are
attracted on the same principle that
would drawe crowd to see monkey
climb pole. Curiosity and love Of
sport, something to beguile the
passing hour, are the controlling
considerations. Mr.. Farmer will
find listeners wherever he goes,
but he cannot Undue the masses of the
pc, pie in this state with wild and lawless
ideas that threaten stable civil govern
ment and the disruption Of society. The
people may feel certain degree Of unrest
over the situation; they may believe that
our governmental system needs revision;
that reforms are needed. And some OF
them may walk out OF the Democratic
party in the Elusive belief that the po-
Iitical Canaan is to be found in the Union
Labor camp. But the masses have con-
servatism, patriotism and common sense.
They are not to be frightened by lurid
pictures or infamed by equally lurid ap-
peals to passion and class prejudice. Mr..
Farmer may work out his special aims,
whstever they be. Or II he is really, as
he understands patriotism, patriot. who
would fain benefit his fellowmen, then he
may satisfy himself that he is serving
God and his country. But people who
want social order, and who do not
fear or hate our government
who have faith in the American
people-may pursue the even tenor of
their way as usual, taking care to vote
the straight Democratic ticket, and all
will be well. Mr.. Farmer cannot upset
the settled order Of things or convulse

THE TEXAS RAILROAD POOL.

Judge Townes' decision, at Austin, II
the suit brought by Attorney General
Hogg against the Texas Traffic Associa.
ton, popularity known O. "the pool" de.
clsres that the articles or the association
tend to create Monopoly, are in violation
of law and public policy, and therefore
void. The court granted the injunction
prayed lor by the Attorney General. This
decision does not create any great
amount of surprise, for m st people who
have given the matter careful attention
had reached the conclusion that such
would be the result. It is to be doubted
If the railroad people themselves expect
ed a decision in their favor. THE GA
zETTE has regarded 1T as an un-
fortunate blunder on the part Of
the Traffic Association that this
matter was permitted to go into the
courts. Whether the pool was legal or
illegal combination, giving the roads the
benefit of all the doubts, til: know very
well that such mbinstion was re-
garded with disfaYor and suspicion
by nearly all the people OF the state. Even
the business element, which was relied
on by the pool managers to give an ex-
preston rather favorable to the pools
workings, was found to be divided on the
subject. As many and as influential
firms oppose as sustain 1t. Outside the
mercantile class-or the per cent. thereof
favorable to the system-there WAS al
most an absolute lack Of commentator
or sympathy. In word the great body
of the people Of Texas are opposed to
it. Public sentiment is stronger, some
times, than organic or statutory law and
waving all. other considerations 1t
is to be doubted II any man or set of
men can successfully combat public
opinion. In the long run all the odds are
against the man or institution that essays
a combat. The railroads would have
acted wisely in accepting the situation
and dissolving the pool, without being
forced to do SO by the combined force of
public opinion and law. Such policy
would have been appreciated by the
people and accepted as an evidence that
the railroads doing business in Texas
were DESTROYS Of working in harmony with
the people, imbued with respect and con-
sideration for public opinion, and willing
to take their chances in legitimate, bust
ness way, as other people and institutions
do. This is the course THE GAZETTE
would have been glad to see pursued by
the roads, for THE GAZETTE is the friend
of the railroads. 1t recognizes their
wonderful utility, how indispensable
they are, how their interests
are identical with those Of
the public. 1t would gladly see the most
cordial relations, the greatest degree OF
confidence existing between the people
and the railroads, each mutually helpful
to the other. The case goes now to the
Supreme court, for the railroads, 1t seems,
are determined to fight 1t out. Since the
contest is on it is, perhaps, just as well
to have 1t pursued to inslity and settled
for good and all, but it is contest that
might have been avoided

Hawaiian Views.

Mr.. j. A. GOnsalves, the photographer
has just returned from two weeks
trip on Hawaii, during which he visited
the Volcano and took number of views.
A visit to his studio on Fort street will
show that he has not been idle while
away. 1t is difficult to fully describe
all the views, but there are ii few that
deserve special mention. The first is
Kawaihae Landing, with large canoe
In the foreground. There are several
fine views of Hilo-one taken from the
beach, showing the main street; two
others of the bridge, which are really ex-
cellent The Rainbow Falls were taken
from two different positions, both of
which are realistic. There are two
pretty views OF the road to the Volcano
from Hilo, showing the most beautiful
foliage. Large ferns are prominent
features in these two pictures. We
almost forgot to mention the views of
Cocoanut Island, near Hilo. Mr.. Con
salves took the island from several diff
ferent positions, but there is one which
makes most charming picture. It is
most delightful bit of scenery. At the
Volcano several views were taken of the
burning lake and of the large hills of
lava. The inside of the parlor at the
Volcano House was photographed, show
ing the cosy open fireplace, rocking
chairs, cabinet organ, etc. Even the
pictures on the wall can be recognized.
This picture should be of interest to
those who have visited the Volcano
House.
The above does not include one-half of
the views taken by Mr.. Gonsalves.
Copies are for sale at his studio on Fort
street at reasonable rates.

duties, and was rendered a reception i.
The following is from Chelsea paper:
REV. f. w. Merrill, the new rector
of st. Luke's Episcopal Church, was
given reception in the Sunday-school
rooms last Tuesday evening, at which a
large number of parishioners were pres
ent and made his acquaintance. All
around the walls was draped blue and
white lawn, the festoons knotted with
bouquets of handsome flowers. Mr..
James S. Challis was master of cere-
monies, but as the affair was purely in
formal, there was little for him to do ex-
cept make the visitors acquainted with
Mr.. Merrill. A little entertainment was
given, including a violin solo by Miss
Lillian Williams, after which light re-
freshments were served Mr. Merrill is
a native of Concord, N. H. He studied
at the college in Waukesha, Wisconsin,
and afterwards went as missionary to
Honolulu, Sandwich Islands. He after
wards went to Australia, where he
labored for about nine years, preaching
last at Adelaide, South Australia. He
married a young English lady in Homo
lulu, where she still remains, not caring
to come to this cold climate until an
other summer Mr. Marrill'S cordial
and pleasing manners have already
made him popular. In the short time
he has been in Chelsea he has officiated
at marriage, funeral and baptism, at
holy communion and all the various
church services. He will have rooms
for the present at the City Hotel"
