Spring Palace Closed.
Brazos Pilot.

The great Texas karpOrama has closed,
and the only Spring Palace in the world,
the greatest exhibit of industrial and
agricultural pursuits ever seen is at an
end. The Fort Worth GAZETTE says:
Despite the Vaccinations of the envious,
the unjust discrimination by certain rail-
roads and the frequent rains unusual at
such time of the year, although neither
Harrison nor Diaz attended, although
Talmage was kept at home by his sick
family, the first Spring Palace
that the world has ever known
was financially and otherwise a
brilliant success. Secretary Post states
that the attendance has been more than
one hundred thousand, an average Of
more than three thousand per day. This
Palace was constructed under greater
difficulties than any enterprise which has
ever been completed. In the first place
the money necessary for the capital stock
had to be raised, and when one considers
that the stockholders put their money
into it with no idea OF ever receiving a
cent dividend, but simply to benefit
Texas and Fort Worth, the average bust
ness man Is struck with amazement. It
has been frequently said by strangers
from the East, when they heard that the
Palace mad been constructed by private
enterprise, "what infinite faith the
people of Fort Worth have IN their
city. - Then when the money was
secured, designers, decorators and ar
lists had to be sent for from all parts of
the nation, as such work had never been
done in the state before Even these
were not able TO complete the Palace in
the time required, and the noble ladies
of ~ RI hc 4
agreed to decorate the upper floor which
when completed was the most magnif-
cent part of the Palace. What these Ia
dies endured, what sacrifices they made
to be present and work day after day for
weeks, no one but those who had hand
in the labor really understands or can
appreciate. The Palace to-day is
monument TO those noble, self-sacrifc-
ing, enteTprising ladies.

THE tariff battle still goes on among those
who would hide the money famine conspiracy of
the money rings of the world.-[Cleburne Trib-

The "money famine'' is never felt by
the manufacturers who are protected,
but by the laborer in whose name pro-
lection Is maintained. With such blind
leaders as the Geeenback relics, the peo-
pie can never learn the truth of what
hurts them.

work. Tt is written in a lively vein
and abounds in incident; the portrayal
of occurrences in the life of soldier
has spicy flavor and the grosser ele-
ment that too often pervades sketches of
camp life is thoroughly eliminated.

in the Northwestern territories in the

are especially interesting. as they oc-

Abraham Lincoln said. we were making

transpired in and around Jacksboro,
where If was purposed ct one time to es-
tablish a post This plan was finally
abandoned; not, however, till some very
substantial building had been done. In
those flush times Jacksboro must have
presented a very different appearance
than in these piping times of peace. The
author says that from 1868 until 1878
over half a million of Uncle Sam 5
money was disbursed at that point.

GENTLEMEN-In this mornings issue you
make the assertion that the Cramer murder was
committed in Massachusetts,. Now, Mr.. Ed
itor, the people of Massachusetts are not any
too sanity, not excluding John L. Sullivan, but
the Cramer murder was committed at New Ha-

The correspondent is right, of course.
THE GAZETTE was intent on comparison
of North and South, and was inatteutive
in its haste to the exact locality in New
England, from which section emanates
so much newspaper criticism of Southern
affairs. The beautiful girl was murdered
in Connecticut, as THE GAZETTE remem-
bers well, and Connecticut viii serve the

The Texas Spring Palace closed last
Thursday, to be reopened in year.
After witnessing what can be done in the
limited time the projectors of this grand
enterprise had at their disposal, it is
barely possible to imagine its magnitude
in the spring of 1890. Many people were
in doubt as to its success, and, in the ab-
sence of better information, supposed 4
to be money-making scheme on TIC
part of Fort Worth capitalists. These
doubts have been dispelled, and all who
ha We seen this grand display of Texas
products are unanimous in the verdict that
it has done and will do more toward the
development of our state than all previous
efforts combined. Our county should
take a lesson for the future by the expe-
rience of the past, and let us have Hill
county represented there for what she is
the leading agricultural county Of
Texas. Our little case of black soil
there was q wonder to all from the East,
and some were heard to suggest that it
was mixed with charcoal before shipping.

what we can do, and we need have no

Bob LOWRY, governor of Mississippi,
is in earnest. His effort to prevent the
Sullivan Kilrain mill counts not the
cost in money or troops, and already he
has offered a reward of $1,000 for the
arrest and delivery of Sullivan and Kill
rain to the sheriff of the county in which
they may fight, if they succeed in cir
cumventing him.

Hogg desired to be governor he would
not seek or accept nomination unless if

to voting the people are moro powerful
than the corporations, or the big papers,

During the civil war, the Federal
soldiers suffered severely at times for
want OF fresh vegetables, and the Sani-
tary Commission made it part OF its
business to supply the lack. Appeals
for anti-scorbutics, such as potatoes
and onions, were sent far and near, and
finally came to be spoken of, familiar
ly, as "scurvy circulars, The re-
sponse was immediate and hearty, and
soon the agents of the Commission

three potatoes and an onion. How
welcome they were may be Judged from
the fact that, after eating them, the
troops were eXhilcrated very much as
if they had been taking stimulants.
A German Lieutenant came into the
Commission depot at Nashville.
"Do you keep sauer-kraut for the
soldiers?" he asked.
The attendant pointed to an open
barrel. The Lieutenant grasped some
OF the precious preparation, and gazcd
at it with moistcning eyes.
