TRUNK LINES LEILL WIN.

The assertion that forms the above
| headline may make some people tired +,
but there is and always has been q
method in THE GAZETTE IS persistency.
THE GAZETTE is here to work for Fort
Worth according to It's own Judgment of
how that work can best be performed
and without regard to the criticisms of
others, who may, for ought THE GAZETTE
knows to the contrary, be actuated by
hostility to the towns progress
which they may be too polite to
openly proclaim. Spasmodic effort rarely
wins any success; persistency as rarely
fails to achieve it. THE GAZETTE from
its first issue devoted itself to the up
building of Fort Worth, and in that
cause it has been; is now, and ever will
be persistent; and if any one grows tired
he can remove to Dallas, where morning
newspapers do not weary people with per-
sistency in behalf of the town.
The mistake with few people in Fort
Worth is that made by thousands of peo-
pie in the state-they imagine that all the
world knows as much about them as they
know of themselves. The density of the
popular ignorance concerning Texas and
Fort Worth is the one thing to which TIE
GAZETTE persistentIy addresses itself,
fully believing that when the world comes
TO know. the capabilities and possibilities
of this state the result win be far beyond
the expectations of our most enthusiastic
workers. Every train into Texas brings
some man ignorant of this state and city;
therefore, THE GAZETTE persists in tel
ling of both, The effect of such persist
ency was seen in the manner in which
Fort Worth attained its reputation as the
great railroad center of Texas. The
town had the roads, but no one ont
side the city knew it until THE GAZETTE
began its publication of that now famous
remark of the state engineer OF railroads,
that

KERRVILLE.
A Resort for Invalids-The Moving Spirit Of
the County, His Numerous
Enterprises.
Correspondence Of 90 Garette.

Corresp ondence ofthe Gazette.
KERRvILLE, TEX, Jan POI am here
at the end of my journey, having
travelled overland over four hundred
miles to get here. Here is 8 nice little
city among the hills on the Guadalupe
river, a stream about two or three times
as wide as our Clear Fork. It's valley
here is about one-half mile wide, rich
! lime IOam land with some black sand
This place is getting to be the great resort
for the invalid and many are here TO
winter. Among the number is the ae-
complished Mrs. r f. Beckham of Fort
Worth, who seems to be rapidly recover
ing and il is believed that she viii soon be
restored To home and family hale and
hearty Certainly the scenery is beauti-
full the atmosphere pure and the clear wa
tiers of the river blue and sparkling filed
with nice fish. The river here is about
three hundred feet from bank to bank,
but of course is not so wide with water.
The good houses of the town are made Of
white limestone. When taken from the
quarry it is soft and easily fitted for use,
but quickly hardens very hard. Under
the microscope the porousness of the
stone could be seen-innumerable shells,
very small but plainly visible, no sand in
it. 1t makes a handsome house. / saw
the blocks as they were dressed for the
Schreiner bank-about one foot square
and three to four feet long, and they
seemed as if planed, they were so
smooth
This town was founded by Capt.
Schreiner, a German, and he is the life
of the town and county too. He has
large trade from the west, with about
fifteen clerks in his general merchandise
store, and his trade reminded me of Fort
Worth s good time, from rs to 49,
Schreiner s store, with stock OF SIS 900
to $500 900, is immense. His
roller mill is driven by water
on the Guadalupe, turbine wheel.
His main ranch is about so 900 acres in
closed, besides many smaller ones. His
bank does all banking and exchange for
the whole county. Ia all public enter
prises he is first and foremost, very
busy, useful, kind, rich and hard work.
man.
Invalids and the sick from the North,
as well as pleasure seekers, can find leis-
ure, rest, ease and comfort here. Game
and fish are abundant. l saw veuison
hams sell on the streets for 40 cents a
pair, and the forequarters for Is
cents apiece. These are common
prices. What delicious, tender meat,
and so cheap, for the sick or well. The
altitude is high and our Texas cities can
send their people here for cool summers.
We are stirred up over the prospect of
early work on the Forth Worth and Rio
Grande, aud are delighted to have an
outlet to North Texas cities and the whole
North by it. am off for home to-day.

IN ANSWER to a correspondent: fThe
kingdom of Samoa is constituted of a
number of islands of the Polynesian
group in the South seas. They are i'm
portant as a coaling station, and are di-
rectly in the track of steamers plying be-
tween San Francisco and Australia. They
and the Hawaiian islands divide this
track into three nearly equal portions,
the Hawaiian group constituting the first
and the Samoan the second stopping
point on the journey from San Fran
cisco. The United States has coaling
station and some commercial rights at
Samoa. Great Britain is more interested
than this country, and Germany is cred
tied with a desire to punish England.

The Revocation in Steel Making.
Atlanta Constitution.


Our correspondence from Springfield
Ohio, foreshadows an industrial revolu-
ton of vast Importance to the South !.
Bessemer steel has heretofore been made
in immense establishments but by a new
process SO 900 worth of machinery viii
convert 100 tons of pig iron into steel in a
day. If the new process does all that is
claimed for it, steel making will be
transferred to the furnaces and win fol-
low them where they can most profitably
be operated-that means to the South. It
is conceded that no country on earth Of
fers for the manufacture of iron such
advantages as the Piedmont region.
With converters within the limits OF a few
days profits, the steel industry must
come South, and come speedily.
This revolution does not depend on the
new invention alone. The basic process
which can be employed with no greater
outlay, and is adapted to Southern ores,
is controlled by the Bessemer company
who have smothered 1t IN order to delay
as long as possible the inevitable transfer
of steel making TO the South. Their
patent expires in four years and the cir
cumstanees viii not admit of renewal.
They have retired the process, and the
basic steel used in this country has to be
imported from Germany -Four years
hence the basic process viii begin its rev.

Hare's Bill.
Chicago HerBld.

Congressman Hare has offered a bill
fixing the representation in congress I'M
der the next census at one member for
every 500 200 population. This would
reduce the number of Representatives to
100, and it might be as beneficial re-
duction to the country as an equal re-
duction of the tariff. The fewer our
congressman the better we viii be on.

THE Southern Republicans who have
been elected to the next congress are
likely to prove the most vigilant agitators
OF sectional issues. Their plan, as out
lined by one of their number to an inter-
viewer recently, seems to be to unseat
every Southern Democratic congressman
for whose place a contestant can be
found, creating Republican majorities in
congress for defeated aspirants. To
manipulate this pretty scheme, Houk of
Tennessee, of unsavory memory, is de-
sired at the head of the elections COM
mittee. Fortunately, whenever the
South is called upon to explain the size
and persistency of its Democratic majori-
ties, the Southern Republican hobs up
serenely to render the explanation un-
necessary

THE resignation of State Senator Doug
lass of Grayson to assume charge of the
Rusk penitentiary creates vacancy in
the senatorial district composed of Gray
son and Cook counties. What is the
matter with Davis of Gainesville for the
place? He has been missed from Texas
politics since he quit the senate. The
barb of his honest satire would greatly
enliven the situation and expose many a
fraud.

IVY NOT .SHERIEF- lSNITH2

If the South is to be given a place in Gen.
Harrisons cabinet-which is nothing but just
and proper-Sheriff Smith of Birmingham, Ala.
would be the man. The Tribune is not familiar
with the shade of his politics. But it knows that
he can be relied upon to do his duty in an emer-
geucy, however grave. What most ails the
South is a dangerously common lack of regard
for the supreme law of the land. There is moth
ing the matter with Sheriff Smith in this respect.
He has shown that he knows how to enforce the
law. Put it in the cabinet and the South viii
understand what it means, and the whole coun-
try will applaud whatever may be the
politics of the man. The country is in need of
more public officials of his calber, and the peo-
pie would like to see such man promoted to a
more responsible station and broader fields of
activity. No appointment would be more popu-
lar than that of Sheriff Smith to place in the
next cabinet Minneapolis Tribune.
THE GAZETTE moves to amend the
above suggestion by naming Sheriff Smith
of Birmingham for United States marshal
under Harrison for Illinois, Indiana and
Ohio Those states would give him a
field commensurate with his ability for
maintaining law, although it might be
rough on the White Caps, who seem to be
so popular north of the Ohio river.
