there can be no possibility of previous
engagements. -

other day, in the course of the de-
bate in congress over the Smalls-Elliott
contest, that he was willing to see a file
of United States troops at every polling
place in Massachusetts,. When the troops
are sent to Massachusetts to protect mill
hands from intimidation, it viii be time
to send them to South Carolina to
protect negroes from intimidation.
For the sake of republican in

that the day is far distant when the

TARRANT has a representative who
knows when the people have enough.
He knows Texas has railroads enough,
and he votes to place railroads in the
hands Of men who know nothing about
railroads and to thus discourage invest
ments Of capital in Texas railroads. He
knows Texas has good permanent road
ways enough, and he opposes the raising
of money by bonds to construct
more roads. He knows Texas has all
the trees it wants and he votes against an
''Arbor Day;'' an arbor day costs no
one anything and places no one under
any sort of obligation, but what's the
use of planting trees in a prairie country?
There must be some one at Austin TO OPP
pose things, and the representative of
Tarrant has his hand on the brakes. Do
not let her go, Gallagher.

but with the year 100, the second with
the year 200, the nineteenth with the year
1900-just as your first 500 ends with

ends with 200. Some people absolutely

where the body was suspended and recog-
niZed it as that of d. II Smith, a negro
from Forest City, Ark, who has been to

dence that indicated the hanging was
done by two citizens of Oaktabee county
and one from Lowndie. The three are
men of good standing in their communl-
ties. More witnesses Will be examined

ENTERPRISLNG TOWN BUILDERS.
For ways that are dark and tricks that
are vain the highest premium, so far as
Texas is concerned, belongs to some en-
terprising citizens of city not a thou
sand miles from Fort Worth.
A few weeks ago it was announced that
Bishop Key of the Methodist Episcopal
church South was coming to Texas to
find home, and that he had selected
Fort Worth as place of residence. I'm
mediately after this publication a
move was inaugurated IN certain
city of this state, the ostensible OBJ
iect of which was to induce
another member Of the Episcopal college
to locate in that city. The popularity of
this move appears from the fact that so
far as the Texas public knew the bishop
to whom this petition was addressed had
no thought of coming to Texas, and that
it was known i'll church circles that
Bishop Key had been agreed upon by the
bishops themselves as the one to take up
his residence in Texas.
The Methodists of Fort Worth and
throughout the state had determined to
prepare home for the expected church
dignitary which would be in keeping with
the high Office he holds. a letter recently
received from him in this city expresses
his appreciation of this purpose,
but declines To permit 1t to be
carried into execution. He will
reach Fort Worth in May or June. THE
GAZETTE does not understand that this
wanton insult of one ofrthe chief officers
of a great church was authorized or en-
couraged by the local church organiza-
ton of the city in which was evolved this
brilliant scheme to attain the ends
of jealousy 1t is said to have
originated with the promoters of
a real estate speculation who seem to
think that their property will deterIorate
in value if Fort Worth is in any way
brought into public notice. It is to be
should think it necessary to interfere
with the affairs of Texas Methodism.
The intrusion will no doubt be Sharply
resented by people who are not accus-
toned to making their church interests
subservient to town rivalries.
THE GAZETTE has remarked heretofore
that there are ways and means of build
ing up town. The quarantine method
is one way, the policy that instigated
gross discourtesy to Texas MethodIsm is
another, and there are still others. The
people of Fort Worth view the situation
with complacency and whenever it be-
comes necessary, as a dernier resort,
they may adopt the quarantine and its
conoomitant policies

WILSON g TRIAL.
Special to the Gazette.


Special to the Gazette.
DALLAS, TEX. Feb. 22.-Albert VIII
son was on trial to-day charged with
shooting Mrs. Ella Tomlin, nee Miss Ella
Franklin.
The facts of this case are that Tomlin
and Miss Franklin were married on the
night of December II, 1888. Following
out the custom of the country the event
was celebrated with the usual
charivari, in which the young people of
the community participated. About IL
o clock, after all had retired on the night
of the wedding, party entered the
bridal chamber and yanked the bride out
of bed. The screams Oh the lady brought
TO her rescue friends from the adjoining
rooms and they aided in the eiectment of
the defendant, Wilson, wh0,s it is al
legged, was the intruder. A few moments
after Wilson left the premises a shot was
fired from the outside. The ball passed
through window light and struck the
bride in the left side, creating a painful
though not dangerous wound.
Wilson was a sutton for the lady's
hand, and when he learned of the sue
cess of TOmlin he told the young lady
that she must not marry Tomlin and at
tempted to brighten her by threats to kill
her in case she married Tomlin This
fact, coupled with the fact of Wilson
forcing his way into the bridal chamber,
led to his arrest on the charge of doing
the shooting.
Marriage license was issued to-day to
Louis E. Guedry and Matte Robertson,
and to Fritz Goodman and Rosa Hauser.
NJ. II. Loudon filed suit against J.

limited circulation THE GAZETTE prints
the above provision which has finally
caught The public attention and is being
much discussed. The people may
now all read and judge for them
selves the effect of the enactment
of such provision relating to contracts.
The question is, what company or cor

that reserves the right to revoke such
contracts at any time? The possibilities
and effect involved in this organic proyi-
sion deserve sober consideration.

Will Take the Job.
Waco Day

The Houston Post says it is absurd to
think that men competent to manage the
affails of he railways of Texas can be
had for $4,000 year. The Post is mis-
taken if it refers to the members of the
proposed railroad commission. The
woods are full of satriots who can be had
for half that salary, entirely competent to
manage the 10 900 miles of railway in
Texas without winking. The railroads,
it is true, pay their managers from $40, >
600 TO SIS 900 a year, and each company
keeps several high-priced officers in its
employ, but this is done merely to squan-
der money, as everybody knows, or ought
to know. Three broken down politicians,
at say $4,000 a year for the lot, could do
the work better, but as the railroads re-
fuse to see it in that light the legislature
proposes to step in and show them how to
manage their own business.

Country Roads.
Chicago Herald.

1t has been estimated that by far the
greater cost of labor involved in the
transportation of the crops may be
charged to that short passage
over the country roads lying
between the farm and the
depot The highway called the railroad
is superb. The turnpike remains in its
primitive state.
Efforts, therefore, directed toward the
lettering OF the road between the farm
and the railway station win be wisely in
spiFed. The people are but lately ar
rived at the knowledge that one railroad :,
rather than two, three or four,
is TO be wished for. The
Pacific roads at Omaha divide
their passengers and freight among no
less than five waiting trains, though one
would carry all. The people OF Iowa

The Baltimore Herald discussing the
awakened interest among capitalists and
home-seekers of the North and East in
things Southern, urges Maryland to take
active efforts TO reap its share of the BEN
effts of the coming boom - of the South:
Such movement ought TO be inaugurated in
Maryland. The state is suffering in the matter
OF agricultural development. not from the quality
nor value of her lands, but because thousands OF
acres are lying idle or only indifferently culti-
waited, An organized effort to inform those seek
ing homes relative TO the advantages offered in
Maryland would certainly bring purchasers for
these lands and place the agricultural interests of
the state on firm and enduring basis.
Texas has greater reason than any other
Southern state to make concerted eff
fort, representing the capital and the la
Dor, the Industrial, agricultural and
mercantile interests to start the tide of a
heavy immigration in this direction. 1t
is by a comparison of what it is with what
it ought to be, wholly undeveloped.
Whatever discourages Texas developments
should be discomtenanced; whatever
promotes it should be encouraged.
Within ten years from to-day Texas may
have 200 600 people, or 3 900 200, just
as the people and the legislature may
prefer.
