THE OHIO State journal asks: sought
not the man, whether white, black or
yellow, buIldczer or bulldozed, who Is
so shifiless that he cannot afford to pay
Is to 1s cents for muslin sufficient to
make him shirt be condemned to 60 to
and fro upon the earth shirtless, till he
sinks into dishonored grave 2" So, so,
that's the theory, is it People that
cannot afford to pay high prices for
necessities In order TO make manufactur-
ers rich should go without the necessities.
Well, that may be good Republican pro-
lection doctrine, but 1t is not the ki.d
that suits the majority Of the voters Of
this great country, and so you will find
when the vote is counted in November.

THE Senate sent committee to New
York to investigate the charges sgainst
the management Of the custom house.
One witness, Republican, had been re-
Gently discharged. Senator Blackburn
asked him il he didn't think a service OF
three years under Democratic admins
tration was about all he ought to expect.
He said it was. And the country will
agree with him. There is no better way
to reform the civil service than to grsdu-
ally turn out Republicans and turn in
Democrats. And there is NO reason,
either, why the turning process should
be 30 very, very gradual.

Mr.. BLAINE does himself cred { as Q

To question his sincerity In declining TO

permit my name in any eceat to come be-

harmony il not material, It might be bet
ter to hold the convention outside Texas;
il Texas unity Is essential, the convention
should be held in Texas.
A deep water movement without an ad-
justment Of Texas differences would be .
repetition OF congressional failures in the
same direction, and those states which
have An interest in common With Texas
should insist upon such adjustment
before entering into any movement in
behalf Of people who have never vet in
augurated united EFFORT in their OWL
behalf.
II may be repeated that Q deep water
convention ct Denver without previous
adjustment Of Texas differences would
have but o1e Of two results. Such Den
yer convention would either eford for
eign field for the display Of Texas wran-
Cling, or, it would give voice to Q
preference for some Texas point that
would intensity the feeling in Texas, and
thus prove worse than failure. The at
titude Of Texas Congressman or this sub
ject should be warning to all
VINO want deep water for Texas,
for that attitude is the expression of
Texas differences, and no public effort
can be inaugursted with promise Of
success until those diff srences :re hsr-
monized b. the people OF Texas them
selves. The people OF this state at this
time seem to be IL . mood favorable to
some adjustment of their differences.
And ii is more than probable that Fort
Worth convention would be fol-
lowed by another st Denver,
especially II the people of COL
orsdo and other northwestern states
should send representations to Fort
Worth, as their presence would tend to
show our people the rapidly extending
need which has heretofore been Of pecul-
iarly local character.
The great body Of the people Of Texas
want deep water, they care not where on
the coast; they want movement lnaugu-
rated, they care not where to secure deep
water; but they also know that any move
ment to be successful must be preceded
by uniHcation Of the Texas demand,
and the proper place to unity Texas &C.
ton Is in Texas.

Deep water Convention,

The question OF deep water port on
the Texas COST, is one in which al citi-
zens, not only Of this state, but Of Colo.
RADIO, New Mexico and the states and
territories to the west Of Us, are pro-
foundlY interested.
Recently, q call was put forth by the
merchants and business men CT Fort
Worth, published elsewhere in this issue,
inviting The CT izsns Of all sections inter
ested, to meet Ia that city on July 10.
prcximo, "to discuss the advantages Of
the various harbors and to provide ways
and means to accomplish the work Ct Sc
curing deep water at the most available
point"
Dalias, trus to her Jealous greed In all
matters where Fort Worth Is concerned,
at once Sss about to Aeutralizs the good
effects Of the movement, snd to that ,efH
issued 8 call for similar meeting to con-
vene IN Denver, Col, on the same date.
But the citizens of Denver are apparently
sctuated by different motive from that
which controls the average Dsllasite,
and generously valves any claims she
may have preferred in favor Of Fort
Worth. =
The Denver Republican, theI leading
journal Of that city, thus speaks OF the
matter:
A convention has been called by the citizens
Of Fort Worth to meet In that. city on July 10 y
is year, to cons ider the subject Of construct
There s has. during The past few weeks, been
mere or less talk about similar convention to
assemble In this ,ity. No definite steps have
been taken in regard to It by the
maze to hold Two conventions, and as the Fort
Worth people have already acted NO call should
be issued for convention In this place.
After dwelling upon the advantages Of
Denver as q proper place for the holding
of the convention, the Republican adds !:
However, Fort Worth has already called the
convention. anu It would be better 70 hold Il
ing over the selection of meeting plaos. Dem
yer would cordially welcome all who might
attend II this place were selec'ed But the
and It should be discussed In the most friendly
spirit. For this reason we shou d advocate
holding the convention In Fort Worth II the
peopleo Of that city were to refuse to withdraw
their claim in favor OF Denver.
This is both magnsnimous and gener-
ous upon the part of the people Of Den
var. but despite their action the citizens
of Dallas persist in advocating the hold
ing of the convention at Denver, while the
Board Of Trade of Dallas have taken 1t
upon themselves to formally send out in
vitations to the people Of this state TO
meet at Denver!
Texas has direct end vital interest In
this matter far exceeding that Of aug
other state or territory, and it is proper
that she should take the initiative in the
movement looking to its accomplishment.
And peculiarly proper is it that the move.
ment should be insugursted in Fort
Worth, q city whose people are the best
representatives and highest type of that
progress and energy and liberality that
has made the Texas Of to-day.

A DEEP-WATER CONVENTION.

Il DEEP-WA1Eh CON VEN IION.
No one in Texas is opposed to deep
water convention at Denver, but such coz
vention should be called and held under
auspices that would make its action po-
tent factor In the solution of the problem.
A Deliver convention should not be pri-
mary convention, but convention whose
voice would call to action all the forces
the enlistment Of which are essential to
success.
Texas is more vitality interested in deep
water on the Texas coast than any other
state in the Union, and Texas is swayed
BY conflicting interests and divergent
views. II concert OF action and unity Of
purpose on the part Of Texas is condi-
ton precedent to successful deep. water
movement, no man can deny that this
hsrmonization can best be attained at
home, and should be accomplished prior
to the participation by Texas in any other
interstate convention held outside the bor-
ders of the state. II concert OF action On
the part OF Texas is ministerial, and il
the people of other states can secure
deep water for Texas Independent Of
concerted action ON the part Of this state,
then, perhaps, Denver convention
could be at once primary and final in Its
character and mission.
Considering solely the success OF the
movement, 1t cannot be denied that the
question Of locality for deep water con-
vention depends upon the necessity for
Texas unity in such movement. II Texas

Farmer and FREQ Wool.
Philadelp hia. Eer ord.

1t has been rumored that Senator Hoar,
as we'll IS Representative Long, is desir-
Gus of quitting political life in order to
disport himselfin more eongenial occu-
patton. These distinguished gentlemen
would not be missed II the people Of Mas
sschusetts should send In their place two
more farmers. like Farmer Russell, who,
on Wednesday,, made second telling
speech in favor OF tariff reform. Being .
sheep grower himself, aud representing .
constituency largely engaged In
wooden manufacture, Mr.. Russell's
argument had double per.
tinency. He showed the absurdity Of the
claim sendwiched into the resolutions Of
the Pennsylvania Republican platform
that 1000; 600 persons were dependent
upon wool growing, when the whole an.
nusl product Was only worth $4,000, 900.
The price Of wool, he declared, was de-
pendent on the demand Of the wooden
manufacturers. Wool was the only great
agricultural product which had no export
value; the price, therefore, depended
upon the prosperity OF the men in
this country who bought and
used it. Wool growing and wool
manufacturing fourished together or Ian
guished together. At present they were
lsuguishing together; while the rags that
dropped from beggars' backs were %orked
over by shoddy mills into clothing for
wo, kingmen. No fully civilized nation
taxes wool except protectiOn-ridden
Spain. Mr.. Russell declared that wool
would advance in price In iess than year
IL 1t should be placed on the free list; and
he said that the Lowell Carpet Company,
which had recently suspended operations
because 1t could not stand the tarlf tax
or it's raw material, would resume If the
Mills bill should become law.
Talk of this kind from Mr.. Russell drew
the fire Of the protectionists; but he
proved able to take care Of himself in out
and thrust debate. And the subsequen,
declaration Of Mr.. Fitch, Republican
member from New York, that the people
bf his district had elected him to Con-
gress mainly because his Democratic
opponent had voted against the consid-
Grafton of the Morrison bill added to the
protectionist discontinue.
Altogether, Wednesday was red
letter day for the tariff refoSmers in Con
gress.

DEEP WATER CONVENTION.

Citizens of Colorado. New Mexico and

msnd, q convention has been called to
meet on July 10 in this city. Following is
