Yesterday was moOnshiners' day in the House,
and Mr.. Cowles, of North Carolina scored
great hit. Mr.. Randalrs pet measure, the re-
peal OF internal revenue taxes, was. by deci-
sive vote, sent to the committee ON appropria-
tons, instead of the ways and means commit
tee, Its legitimate reference, and where the
bill introduced in duplicate by a dozen differ
ent members, has been sent only to be pigeon
holed indefinitely. The appropriations COM
mlttee Is likely to make a prompt report in
favor Of the bill, when the fun will begin in
the House. The republicans can hardly give
1t a party vote, the tariff bill in the Senate
Is not predicated on Mr.. Randalrs proposition
to free tobacco and whisky. Yet it was claimed
for 1t yesterday that there was a majority OF
nifty In the House i'll favor Of the Cowles bill.
A similar bill freeing tobacco failed to excite
such sanguine hopes of passage.

The intellectuals and morals of the electoral
college were unclogged yesterday. and the in
stitution graduated a precise result precisely az
was expected two months ago. Gen. Harrison
received the 233 votes of twenty states, Mr..
Cleveland the 16s votes of eighteen states and
the former may now go into history as Presi-
dent Of the United States. 1t is worth stopping
to note that Gen. Harrison carried no southern
state, while his opponent carried but two
northern states. 1t is also interesting to OBJ
serve in passing that with the republican COL
umn unchanged outside of New York. the adj
mission of three new states, as now proposed.
would deprive the Empire state of its pivotal
advantage in the next national convention

FORT WORTH has gone into the
business of advertising Northwest
Texas and she will fill the Panhandle
with settlers that will enrich North
west Texas in ten years and pay
tribute million year to Fort Worth
trade. There is no monkey business
about the Fort. The newspapers will

will flow until its streams shall fer
tilize all lands. Cash must be forth
coming, and Fort Worth will not
move until she has the sinnews of
war. That Panhandle can be made
the granary Of Texas, and it will not
be the fault of Fort Worth and Den
yer If it is not so made.
