The Merohants, convention.
Austin Statesman.

During the Spring Palace the Fort
Worth GAZETTE was almost Yenomous in
Its censure of certain railroads that had
treated its city and exhibition most
shamefully in the matter of transporta-
ton to visitors. And it was imagined by
the thoughtless that such resentment
would cling to that journal in its future
treatment of railroads. But not so is it
with the press. No power in the land is
so long-sufering and kind. No agency
does so much for its county, city and
state, and none with such eduanimity
bears affront, and for the good of its
cause endures, without multiplied COM
plant, all wrongs. So it has been with
THE GAZETTE. At the time of the rail-
road outrage in its city it bristled ali
over with resentment and struck back
most telling blows. But that is a thing
Of the past, and another subject is up for
comment, and THE GAZETTE SAYS:
The discussion at Dallas should be with view
to arrive at facts and the cause OF the evil OF
which the people complain. Diatrfbes against
soulless corporations VIII neither be seemiy in a
people who are making every endeayor to in
crease the number OF such corporations In the
state, nor productive OF practical good.
This has to do with the merchants con-
vention to meet next Monday and discuss
the freight charges to and in Texas. Is
not the advice given conservative, sound
and full OF wise conclusions? Generali-
ties, nor fulsome condemnation of cumu-
lative abuse can avail anything. The
merchants approach a most intricate
question, and its Importance demands it
be handled in a cool and dispassionate
manner if it is to be solved correctly.
THE GAZETTE has spoken word of warn
ing we would second, and the merchants
would do well to act favorably upon.

Can speak Only in Praise.
Cameron Herald.

The Lampassas correspondent to the
Fort Worth GAZETTE stated that Judge X.
b. Saunders of Bolton in his excellent
address before the recent reunion of ex-
Confederates at that place alluded TO
Stonewall Jackson in no mplimentary
terms. Others who heard the address
tell different story, aud allege that the
speaker has been done an injustice. In
his speech Judge Saunders said that one
of the highest tributes ever paid to man
was paid to Jackson, in that when news
was received in England that he was
even wounded Confederate securities
deprecated 80 per cent. Jackson can not
be spoken of either as d man or soldier
except in terms of highest praise.
Friends and generous foes vie in this.

NORTH IND SOUTH.

The persistency with which Northern
papers speak of the acquittal of Mellow
as Indicative of the cheap price at which
life is held in the South, is unfortunate
for the section in which they are pub
lished. It is unfortunate because it re-
murders, even in proportion to the popu-
lation, are committed in the North than
in the South. 1t is more unfortun ate in
that it recalls to mind many particular
murders, startling, cold blooded, das-
tardly, which have taken place in that
would-be immaculate portion of the
country and for which nobody has ever
been made to suffer.
Let us see.
Capt. Dawson went to see DR.. Mellow
to expostulate with him about an intrigue
he was carrying on with French maid
in Capt. Dawson IS house. Mellow killed
Dawson-shot him in the back, if you
please-and was acquitted. How wildly
this tragedy and its farcicaI ending recalls
one which occurred in justic-loving Penn
sylvania few years ago. Capt. Dukes
having ruined the daughter of promi-
nent citizen in the town in which he
lived, the father called to demand what
repa ration was in his power, and Dukes
foully murdered him. Dukes was in
dlcted, his case came to trial, and he
was acquitted. The son of the murdered
man afterwards killed Dukes-murdered
him the Northern papers would say,
had it occurred in the Southland he was
acquitted.
Another case.
in sanity Massachusetts, Jennie Cra-
mer, beautiful young girl of respectable
parentage, was ruined by two or three
wealthy young rakes, who murdered her
to hide the evidence of their viIeness.
They were indicted. tried and acquitted.
Another yet
In Republican Iowa DR.. Hadden was
openly murdered on the streets of Sioux
City because he raised his voice against
an open and high-handed infraction of
u. |
Still another.
In one of the small river towns of Ohio, |
about two years ago, Rev. DR.. Northrup
dared to raise his voice against the pro-
ceedings of the saloon interest of the |
town, and his life paid the penalty. His
are still unwhtpt of justice.
And the defendants in these cases did |
not have to choose Jury of ignorant ne
groes to aid in accomplishing those tray
estes upon Justice
The feebleness of the law in the large
cities of the North has become a national
disgrace and national sorrow. In Chi
cago murder after murder takes place,
and the law is not only unable to punish
them, but in a recent case it has been
found necessary to make arrests among
the officers of the law. In Cincinnati
few years ago, so VIGOROUSLY was the gal
lows cheated of every victim who had
money to pay attorney g fees, that mob
the courthouse, sought to bat
Ter down the jail, and would even have
hung some of the criminal lawyers
out that they left the city. And yet
have not been more plentiful
ince, though murders have been just as
numerous.
In New York, in Boston, in PhiIadel-
,hia, in Brooklyn, in Pittsburg-every-
Fhere over the North-it has become al

JAMES PoYN, that delightful English
writer of novels and essays, says there
is a tendency in these days TO educate
young people beyond their wits. This
examining the memory with cut and
dried facts is not of much account. after
all; with the encyclopedia and gazetteer
in easy reach it is not of SO much conse-
.quence what a person knows, but
rather, has he any ideas, and what can
he do? Lots of people know enough,
but they can't do much, and they have
no ideas whatever.

SOME PERTINENT LNTERROGA-
TORIES


Is the ability and willingness of Texas
railroads to make special rate out of
Texas, while unable or unwilling TO OBJ
tain special rates for bringing people to
Texas, due to the managers or to the
owners of the Texas roads? If to the
owners, what interest have they in one
town more than another of the state5 If
to the managers, what interest have they
in one town more than in another? Why
was Galveston paper enabled to say
that, but for the drill, local affair, the
Spring Palace, a state affair, would not
have received the aid it did from Texas
roads? When a rate was finally made
from st. Louis to the Texas Spring Palace
at Fort Worth why was the same special
rate made to Dallas, where there was no
attraction? Why include Dallas in the
rate more than Paris, Denison, Sher-
man, Waco, GreenviIle, Denton, Austin,
San Antonio and other Texas towns?
WHY?

ing since there is no statute in that stare
against prize fighting. In New York it
is criminal offense for any person to
leave the state TO engage in a prize fight,
and we presume that there is a similar
statute in Maryland. But there is no in
dication that any attempt win be made
TO enforce the law in either case.
All OF which is very curious.

MARY ANDERSON has decided, after a
conference with her physicians, not to
appear on the stage again until October
1890, Mary seems meantime to have

a glorious blue grass girl, fair, free and
democratic. Now she seems to banker
after ROYALTY and all that sort Of thing.

SAVING WOOD.

There are many kinds OF exercise
Some love to play at ball,
The school boy oft his kite high flies.
With some. tits billiards all;
There are games for each and ev'ry one,
But be 1t understood,
For right down solid, lastln fun,
There's naught like saving wood;
So push and draw
The old buck saw,
Thro' good hard seasoned wood.
The "grand old man" may swing his ak
The cyclist spin his wheel.
Pedestrians, on thick saw dust tracks.
May go 1t, toe and heel;
Prize fighters may punch sand in bags
Such exercise is good;
But I, whene'er my spirit flags,
Just tackle seasoned wood;
Ipush and draw
The old buck saw,
Thro' seasoned maple wood.
I love TO see the saw-dust fiy,
And blocks in straight rows laid,
And If the old saw "pinches,"
Rub taller on the blade;
Gymnasiums do very well,
And dnmbbells are quite good;
III want to feel my biceps swell
tackle seasoned wood;
1 push and draw
The old buck saw,
Thro' good hard seasoned wood.

seven of us left, all brothers. Oue of my

Another was drowned in a well. A fourth
