For You, YoUNG MAN-Philosopher
Thos. ?. Monfort, of Pittsburg, Kansas,
Democrat and Kansas City, Mo, QNt6
fame, is at it again, this time on brand
new paper the Independence Democrat,
published at independence, No, and in
the issue before us we find the following
advice to young men. lie says:
Young man, do not sit down ard wait
for the turn of the tide to drift you into
prominence and wealth. Take hold of the
helm with your own hands and guide your
self in whatever direction you wish to go.
What if you must pull against the tide
very often? Do it cheefuily, bravely,
manfullv But very few Of those who
have achieved great things did so by
chance perhaps none. Their success was
the result of long years Of ceaseless efforts
to rise above the conditions and surround
ings antagonistic to the attainment OF their
objects and to their development and prog
reSs. None but those who have dGuntless
hearts and wills of iron can hope to reach
beyond the ordinary walls Of life. If you
have desire to he SOmPthing-sOmebody
more than a common plodder, go to work
with heart and hand, soul and brain 10 &C
complish that end. Others have done this
why not YOU? Greatness is achieved a:
we'll AS Inherited, more often the former
! When we look at the wonderful progTeS:
! the world has made we are ready TO assert
that whatever human imagination car
/ reach, human effort will finally attain.

SFREET SCENE IN RtO URANDE CITY.
sey. county judge Of Starr county. or the

startling and sensational than the other.
They ali demand troops immediately. and
convey the impression, in plain words, that
Anarchy runs riot on the border. and that
tho lives of American citizens ia that section
are in imminent peril.
This extraordinary and sensational state
Of affairs had its origin in the fatal encounter
which took place in Rio Grande city last
Saturday between Catrino f. Cara. editor
Of El Commercials Mcxicano. aud United
States Revenue Officer Victor Sebrec. In
tho fight Sebrec shot and killed Cara, who
was very popular all along the Rio Grandc,
and rs a result the Mexicans rose in revolt
and endeavored to lynch Sebrce The Texas
officials, however, saved him for tho tino
being from the fury of the mob, and wired
Governor Ross as follows:
"Great riot is raging here. Armed men
are parading the Streets Send state rangers
or call on United States troops ut Fort Ring
gold"
This dispatch was followed by another
from Mr.. I. w. Kennedy, member of tho
legislature, as follows:
"Send all the available troops you can. and
at once. Armed Mexicsns ara in control OF
the city and the county"
Similar messages OF CONSERVATION kept
coming, the last one reading as follows: "a
fight has just taken place between two Mexi-
cans md one American, one Mexican killed
The Mexicans now demand the American TO
he delivered to them. Riot prevented by
placing the American under arrest"
Another telegram reads: "Over l50 armed
Mexicans are attempting to lynch Sebree.
Send rangers at once. The riot continues
Rio Grande city is eighty miles from the
nearest railroad station, and it is extremely
difficult to reach. Governor Ross has, not
withstanding, ordered the entire ranger force
of Texas to proceed with all possible haste to
the scene Of the battle, rs tho massacre OF
Texas citizens is feared. The Mexicans out
NUMBER ten to one, tho white citizens in that
section, and there is no telling to What ex-
cesses they will resort, especially as they
have no difficulty in escaping to Mexico IL it
suits them. Governor Ross has also tele-
grapbed all the sheriffs of all the counties on
the border, or contiguous to it, to proceed by
forced marches to the troubled district, and
take armed posses along with them. Ho
likewise telegraphed to the San Antonio
rifles, to the Belknap rifles and the famous
Houston Light guard to hold themselves in
readiness to march ut n moments notice.
II is believed there will be II general mas
sacre OF Texas citizens unless the United
States troops from Fort Rnggold come to
their rescue. The event is likely to lead to
an International complication and should a
massacre occur swift and wholesale retribu-
ton y certain to follow. Governor Ross
says the situation is extremely grave, and
the absence of advices for several hours gives
rise to the worst fears.
