THE WEEKLY GAZETTE FORT WORTH FRIDAY. MARCH

wss the principal topic Of conversation
among the Democrats st the capitol
TIE features OF the bill had graz
uAlly become known as it wss in pro-
cess Of preparation by the commh ZEE and
therefore it excited no surprise. The
general opinion OF the Democrats WAS
tJat the bill was as good q measure as
could have been prepared BY the COM.
miltee. but it win undoubtedly be great
iy modified in the House before it stands
any chance of passing that body.
Chairman Mills, when asked for mis-
opinion Of the bill as presented to the
committee, said the bill was
carefully and conscienuously prepared.
all of tue Democrats on the committee

THE MILLS TARIFF BILL
Speaker OarI1sls ssys It Ought 10 b
Passed.

Speaker Oarl1sls Ssys IL Ought 10 be
Passed.
WICHITA, KAN, M7rch Hon. John
G. Carlisle who is in the city attending
the bedside Of a sick son said to-day,
"The Mills tariff bill is very conseyva-
tive measure and ought to be passed. The
financial and industrial situation would
have justified much more radical meas
ure bat there are always so many differ
ences of opinion about details that 1t Is
impossible to do exactly what ought to be
done. This bill hiss been prepared with
grest care and I know that It has been the
purpose OF its trainers to deal fsirlY and
hberelly with any interest affected by it.
There las been no feeling of hostility to
capital Or labor employed in manufsctur-
ing industries and the bill if passed will
not hurt them. Wool, fSx, hemp,
julie, dyestGfs, and many other raw ma
tsrisls are placed upon the free list, and
this will largely reduce the cost OF pro-
duction without Producing the wages of
lRber. The consumer will taus be en-
shled 70 get cheaper goods, while
the manufacturer viii realize ample
profits and the lsborer will continue to
receive the same or higher wages.
I think the bill will pass substantially as
reported. If it be defeated the Demo
cratic party will appeal to the people on
this question st the next election, and q
Congress will be chosen that will reduce
the revenue much more than Is now pro-
noged

morning at O'Clock George h. Bostick,
& Burlington bridge foreman, fatally shot
in the right temple John Roxy, brother.
hood striking engineer. To avoid lynch
ing Bostick Was taken to LYnneus, where
he is now under arrest. He states that
he was sworn in as deputy sheriff, and
was in charge of an engine that had just
arrived from the east at Brookfeld, that
Roxy and others approached the engine
and endesVored to take charge Of it. An
altercstion ensued and Roxy drew pis-
tol, and when he refused to put 1t up he
(Bostick) shot him. Bcstick claims to
nave been warm friend of Roxy, and says
that q short time before the shooting
they were laughing SID joking together.
Roxy will die. Bostick expects to be taken
to Kansas City in few hours. There is
intense excitement in Brookfeld. Forty
armed deputies leave here soon for
Brookheld. The opinion is that BosticB
became frightened, and shot without suf-
ficient provocstion. The facts show, how
ever that his life was in danger. This Is
the third act of violence at Brookfield this
week.
: Sheriff Denbo was at BrooKfeld, and
his presence no doubt saved very Sc
rious riot.

He Expects Enough Republican Votes to
Ohset tho RandalliteB.
NEW YORK, March "A Washington
special TO the Herald says: Chsirman
Mill is much pleased with the outcome
Of his work and that Of his Democratic
colleagues. Mr.. Mills said yesterday to
your correspondent that he believed the
bill was so conservative and fair in Char
acter that it would command 9 majority
in the House Of Representatives. He sd-
mits that the fourteen Democrats of the
Randall school will probably vote sgsils
the measure, two from Pennsylvania,
two from New Jersey, four from OHIO,
four from Louisiana and two from Cali
fornla. He expects, however, that their
votes will be Offset 10y those Of at least
eight or ten Republicans, mostly from
the northwest.
MIR. Mills continued: "G think the bill
will pass by 8 slender majority. l said
that the aggregate reductions PROPOSED
by the bill were about $50, 100000. We
intend, however, to reenact old packages
clause providing for duty on PACKAGES
which was omitted from the tsrif act OF
1882. This clause, as you are aware,
does not lay q special tax on packages OF
different kinds, but merely provides that
the value Of the goods and the duty be
assessed upon them accordingly. This
will add from 30, 000, 900 to $40, 000,0 900 to
the revenue, SO that the net reduction
proposed by the bill will not exceed S45,-
600, 600. think the opinion of the major-
lty of our committee Is that the revenue
of the government should be reduced not
less than so, oO0,Oo We have therefore
left 1926, 100000 to be disposed Of by
changes in the internal revenue taxation

that jay Gould Is Interested in its accom-

purchased shout the mouth of the Btazos.
During the past thirty days thousands
of acres of land along both

from the mouth have been purchased
These lands, IL is said, have been bought

Gould to extend the Columbia tap the

STREET IMPROVEMENT.
Benefit of Timely Repairs on Broke
Places.


Places.
Engineer King is reported to be busily
engaged in repairing the streets. This is
timely work, and if broken places in
every street of the city could be llled
with river gravel before this day closes,
it would be sll the better for the streets.
TIE GAZETTE claims no patent right on
the knowledge of the value Of prompt re-
psi,s. Ii is not only evident to every
citizen, but the need of it is being dis
cussed by Them. The streets have
been made the pride of the city
both at public snd priVa Q
expense, and the city fathers owe it to
the people TO msintain Whist the people
have established. No niggsrdly allow
GLce should be given Mr.. King, but efforts
Commensurate with the importance and
benefits Of the 'FCrk should be made,
Twenty-Five men lsboriDg for three
days en- street repsir would
lsboring twenty five days, and fifty men
working two days would be better than
two men working fifty days. Promptness
is I'll important in this matter, and the
question is not one OF the number Of days
to be devoted to the work, but rather of
the number Of men needed to repair the
streets in the pIomptest manner.
Tie mission of city government is TO pro-
vide for the public needs Of the city, and
the thorougAfares OF Fort Worth should
take high rank in the consideration by the
city fathers Of the public needs. Engineer
King should have all the means necessary
to the work Of street repair.

sistance of tho law to govern their

 "This bill, ifenacted into law, will per. init land claimants of every degree to present claims manufactured to order for large bodies of tbe public domain, and claim recognition without undergoing investigations as to whether their claims can be locatedbya preliminary survey. They can require hearing and their papers must be accepted as genuine with out examination. They want the Sur veyor-G General to except their papers as genuine-ask no questions, and deter mine nothing except what they set forth as proper and legitimate. This would be the condition of things if this bill becomes law. My experience is that,it is almost impossible to obtain from either Spanish or Mexican archives documents that are of vital importance. The Gov ernment of Madrid has no interest Tn having justice done this Government in regard to the title of lands ceded by the treaties. The archives appear in loose and disjointed condition, subject to the depreciation of schemers in the interest of these stupendous frauds on the Gov. ernment. The manufacture of fraudu-
 
 lent papers, having all the appearance oi antiquity to Conform to the requisite period and date necessary, is a regular business in Madrid and the City of Mex ico, and it is only question of fnancia ability to obtain all the papers necessar, to give the semblance of validity to the most fraudulent grants of our public domain. This Senate bill should no become law. It is not what it purport: to be, and is evidently designed in tn, interest of dishonest men and lane thieves"

 WASHINGTON, Feb. I.-Senator Coke presented memorial signed by mercantile men of Fl Paso, Texas, representing the ex- tensive amount of smuggling between border towns in Mexico and those of the United States, under the Mexican free zone, and asking that reciprocal treaty be entered into with Mexico in order to prevent such snug gling.
 Senator Morgan remarked that if Congress would pass law to carry into effect the pro- visions of the treaty with Mexico, which was ratified two or three years ago, the purpose of the memorial would be substantially accom- plished.
 Senator Coke coincided in opinion, and added that nothing could help the commerce of this country with Mexico more than the execution and enforcement of that treaty. The memorial was referred to the committee on foreign relations.

MINING CAMP NUIsANcEs.

There is much complaint in Idaho and Montana of class of blackmailers in the various mining towns and camps, who will allow no important sale of min- ing property to proceed unless they are bought off; otherwise they interfere with the proposed sale in every possible way. They decry the mine as an ore producer, assert that it will not prove permanent, or hint that there will be trouble in re gard to the title. As the reputation of mine is about as tender as that of a woman, mere hint is often enough to break off sale. It is not only in Mon. tana and Idaho that such men are to be found. They hang about all mining camps and come to the front whenever a big sale is to be consumated. Unless their mouths ar6closed with a golden seal, there is nothing too bad for them to say of a mining property that IS about to be disposed of for large sum. In the early days of the Comstock good deal of this dirty work was seen.
 Besides the regular blackmailers, there is in every camp class of envious per sons who have mining claims on which they have for years been incubating, merely doing "holding york;" who can not endure to see men of capital come into their camp and open negotiations for any other property than their own. These men will get around and interfere to break up sale, hoping to dispose of claim owned by themselves if they can alarm the would.be purchasers in regard to the mine for which they are negotia- ting. The result generally is that the men of capital either become frightened or disgusted, and folding their tent like the Arab, steal away. Another nuisance in mining camp is the class who come to the front the moment a rich strike i: made in mine. Then they rush in witt a capped up claim of some kind to tht property. Itis either on the extentior of a vein they are working or is or ground located by them at some time The fellows will allow men to hole peaceable possession of piece of mining ground and expend on it coin and labc for years without saying a word, bu
 when big strike is made they are al noisy and ravenous as coyotes.-Virginii Enterprise.
