THE ELECTION TUESDAY.

Fort Worth hiss much reason to CON
graduate itself over the result Of the mu
nicipal election Tuesday. Nine alder
men were elected, and they are all good
men. Fry in the First ward, NIcks and
H.ymaker In the Second, Tatum and
Trippett In the Fourth, Barr in the
Filth and Mulkey in the Sixth
are perhaps known to every citizen.
Jackson In the Third aud Mes IN the
Fit b are not SO generally known, but
they are good men and will perform their
aldermapic duties with consc ieutious re-
gard to the best interests Of the city.
Mayor Broiles will enter upon his Sec
ond term with good Council, and upon
them he may depend for support in every
laudable effort to advance the common
good. That he will avail himself of the
opportunity to do all In the power of
government to push
the city forward in the race
is the hope and expectation
OF al the people, and now that he has
good Council behind him the people have
+. right to anticipate 8 literal fulf lment
OF every pledge he has given to promote
the general welfare.
The election has had its dissppoint-
ments, but Fort Worth has no time to
waste in regrets. TIE duty of all-of the
Mayor, Of the Council aud of the
oeople-is TO look for ward, not backward
In the present and futur is the field for
Fort Worth effort, not in the past, and
hose who are sadly sailing over salty
waters should remember that there is
work for every brain and hand in Fort
Worth to do, and put on smiling face
or the labor st hand.

OUR TWO NEW OUTLETS.


Returning to Fort Worth are citizens
who have been on an excursion to Den
yer over the great Panhandle route, the
new outlet that opens up to Fort Worth
trade the territory accessible to 500 miles
of this road on Texas soil. AS these re.
turnicg excursionists leave the cars OF
the Fort Worth and Denver they hear the
welcome given another new outlet for
Fort Worth trade, the S. Louis, Arksn-
sas and Texas, that penetrates the rich
territory to the northeast known as the
Phrallelogram.
To the northwest from Fort Worth goes
the Fort Worth and Denver, and to the
northeast from For Worth goes the
"Cotton Belt" The former trAverses q
great cattle aud grain section, to which
must 60 large part of the immigration
thai is now seeking Texas. 1t is coun-
try of rare fertility,of bracing climate and
health. The great Panhandle will
pour wealth into the Golfers of Fort
Worth, the terminus OF the only great
Panhandle route.
The Cotton Belt runs from Fort Worth
northeast through section unsurpassed
in the state for agricultural productive
ness, and q section thickly populated
In the Para Telegram are msuy pros
porous cities and towns which all vel
come Fort Worth to q direct connection.
They were our friends before, aud now
hey will be both friends and near neigh

trade will find welcome at Plano,
Greenville, Pi.tsburg, Sulphur Spri' gs,
Mount Pleasant, Commerce and
the numerous other thriving business
centers Of the PArallelogrsm, and the re-
suit will be growth to Fort Worth and
pre- d. to It's patrons.
Fortune is smiling graciously on the
brave young city row, and among all the
agencies that will work to its advance
ment, none will be more powerful than
the two new roads, the Fort Worth and
Denver and the "Cotton Belt"

THE WAYS AND MEANS REPORT.
The report of the Democratic members
of the ways and mesps committee on the
tariff bill formulated by them is veIy
clear and forcible document, Masking an
elaborate and comprehensive statement
OF the objects Of the bill and of the means
By which they are to be attained. Re-
ferring 10 the existence of Treasury
surplus the report says:
There are two ways iy which this excessive
accumulation u ay be prevented. We may re-
duce tsxadon to the level of expenditures and
leave In the pockets people all moneys not
needeo for public purposes. or we msy raise
ex enditures to the height of taxation, seek
Ing out n W and useless obi cts of appropria-
tion on which O lavi- the greet and growing
revenues, not nee ed for any legit mate wants
OF the pubic service. II we adopt he
latter course these very objects
of useless ex endituTes will gather
upon Congress in such increasing numbers and
with such growing demands as TO fssten upon
the government permanent and unchapge-
able policy of extravagant and reckless appro-
prtations. This poiicy once adopted VIII not
only breed corruption In public lite and de-
m .ral,zation in private life. but viii compel. in
periols OF depression, an increased rate OF tax
alton for he p -ople or an increase OF bonded
debt for the government. There Is but one
safe course. and that Is TO renucs taxation to
the necessary requirements of an honest, ec1-
Romical ano enc emit administration Of govern
ment.
The report then proceeds TO show how
this result is to be accomplished, keeping
carefully sin view at all times the inter-
ests of the manufacturer, the laborer, the
producer and the consumer" II shows
where the burdens Of taxation press most
grievously, and points out where 1t can

Barrels are row being made of hard

Barrels are row being made of hard
and soft wood, each alternate steye being
of the soft variety and slightly thicker
than the bard wood steve. The
edges of the slaves are cut square,
and, when placed together to form the
barrel, the outsIdes are even and there is
q v shaped crack between each stive from
top to bottom. In this arrangement The
operrtion of driving the hoops forces
the edges of The hard slaves
into the soft ones until the cracks are
closed, ana the extra thickness of the
ls,ter causes its inner edges to lap over
these Of the hard Woo sttyes, thus
making the joint doubly secure.
