70 RISK COUNTY

The level-headed Fort Worth GAZETTE puts II
this way: 'eWith deep water on the coast iron
furnaces in Marion, Rusk, Cherokee and Llano,
coal mines in the northwest, good roads in all
the counties, and land law to promote immi-
grafton, Texas would boom at a rate that would
give it power and influence second to no state in
the Union twelve years hence. - We do not
think the day far distant when there win be an
iron furnace in the southern part of this county.
When the coal question is settled the furnaces
will GOMEZ usk County News.
Capital is required to build furnaces IN
Texas. During the month of June next
there will be in attendance on the Texas
Spring Palace at Fort Worth not less
than so 900 people from distant states.
If Rusk county win get up an exhibit of
iron to be displayed at this Texas Spring
Palace, the capabilities of that county
will be seen by men who are seeking in
vestments in iron fields. Let the News
organize this movement in Rusk and have
a committee of its people appointed to
prepare it, and the hopes of Rusk viii be
nearer fruition than ever before.

IN THE effort to make personal prop
erty bear its just share of the tax burden
the Ohio legislature proposes to have the
assessors actually administer the oath
Thomas G.. Sherman IN recent address
before a legislative committee of that
state, gave some instructive figures rela-
tive to the disappearance of movable tax
able wealth. In the state at large 11S ,2S6
watches were listed for taxation in 1882;
while in 1887 the number had fallen to
ia ,63l. Comparing the county OF
Hamilton, Cincinnati, with the agricul-
tural county of Geauga, the number of
watches in the former decreased from
$3.50 to 1863 in that time.

A MODEL VALENTINE.

Choose valentine of spotless white,
Something simply and sensibly made,
Not too beautiful nor excessively bright,
Too delicate beauty must quickly fade,
1t need not sing great love song,
The heart will tell it If true and strong.
Not the pearly lily. nor brilliant rose;
Their beauty fades, leaves droop in time;
But one whose heart in beauty glows,
And cheering smiles make her fair, sublime,
Not flower that blooms and dies in day,
But whose beauty of heart blooms and lives for
aye.
Let her eyes look out as forget-me-nots, true,
Though they may be black, or brown, or gray,
Or dark as pansies, whose thoughts are for you,
They are perfect, when love flies not away,
So let her eyes be faithful and true
As pansies, whose thoughts are but for you.
Let it be of material firm and strong;
To bear the weight of Hfe's sorrow and care;
But tender and shrinking gainst sin and wrong,
Immutable to vice snare;
Your guide to excellence through life,
Choose such valentine for your wife.
Il Edith De Vine Talbot.

A BARREL TRAGEDY.
How the Mutilated Remains of q Woman Were

How the Mutilated Remains OF a Woman Were
Found on a Chicago Street
CHICAGO, ILL, Feb. 13.-On Butter
field street between 239 and $40 in a
sec ton of the city which is thickly in
habited couple of policemen this morn
ing found in the middle of the road a
barrel that had evidently fallen out of a
wagon during the night On examination
they found it contained the mutilated
remains of woman in an advanced stage
of decomposition The feet had been
severed from the body. In an old bloody
apron and shawl were the yiscera. The
hair of the woman was matted with blood
and lay in confusion over the trunkless
head The trunk was chopped into
pieces. The fragments were taken to
the morgue.
When the remains were removed from
the barrel at the morgue card dropped
out showing that the body had been given
to one Of the medical colleges at the
county hospital. The fragments after
dissection doubtless either dropped off
the wagon while being taken out OF the
city for burial or were deposited there by
the expressman to save himself the
trouble Of carting them away.

OF the location of Bishop Key in this
city the Atlanta Constitution says: s'The
Fort Worth GAZETTE announces that
Bishop Joseph L. Key viii make his res
idence in Fort Worth. The bishop VIII
leave Georgia for his new home in few
days. The Constitution speaks for all
Georgia Methodists and a great number
of our best people, not Methodists, in
congratulating Texas upon gaining so
true and good man as Bishop Key. We
regret his departure; his long, able and
useful service of his Master in Georgia
has endeared him to our people. We
part from him with regret and wish him
many years of usefulness in his new
home.
tBishop Key has seen more actual pas
toral service than any bishop of his
church. Excepting one year in the
agency of Emory college, Bishop Keys
entire ministry has been passed in actual
ministerial and pastoral work. He has,
Atlanta and Rome excepted, been pastor
in every leading city of the state, and in
every charge he has succeeded in building
up the church and doing only good to the
people. In practical wisdom and thor

Washington Critic.

Representative Kilgore of Texas, in his
speech Monday on the city postoffice bill +,
said: "Besides, take it that an addi-
tional clause ought to be put in this bill
and all Others providing for public i'm
provements in Washington. There has
never been, to my knowledge, "a public
improvement prosecuted in this city
which did not wind up with a scandal
more or less disgraceful. There should
be provision in the bill, if this purchase
is to be made, for the appointment of a
congressional committee with authority
to SIT in vacation and to send for persons
and papers to investigate the scandal
which must inevitably grow out of this
transaction
We nominate Mr.. c. Buckley Ki1gore
of Texas as chairman of that committee
and call for his credentials.

War is Coming.
Foreign Press

Lord Wolseley took this view of the
future in making an address at Birming-
ham: ''Those who study the map of
Europe at the present moment and the
condition of things in Europe must feel
that there is hanging over MS war cloud
greater than any which has hung over
Europe before. 1t means that when it
bursts-and burst it will as surely as the
sun will rise to-morrow-it means not, as
in former days, contest between two
highly trained armies, but war Of ex-
tinction, of devastation, between great
armed nations whose populations are
armed and trained to fight. -

DISCUSSING Judge Brewers decision in
the Iowa courts, in the matter of an ap-
plication for an injunction against the
Iowa State Railroad commission rates,
the weekly circular of Henry Clews &
Co. says:
The principle of this decision is that the rail-
roads must submit to the Iowa commissioners
schedule until they have satisfactorily proved
the rates thus established unremunerative.
Judge Brewer explicitly states that he thinks the
courts should await the test of experience, and
on this ground even refuses a temporary in
junction against the Iowa state commission
rates. From the tenor of his remarks,
it is to be inferred that an in
junction restraining the Iowa commissioners
viii be granted when the rates have been proved
Improbable; but meanwhile serious losses in
earnings, and even bankruptcy, threaten some
of the weaker, over-capitalized corporations. It
is possible for the roads to carry their case to the
supreme court of the United States; yet even
here several years must elapse before any de-
cision can be reached, and redress would be
probably gained quicker by demonstrating more
effectually the effects of such unreasonable in
reference before the Iowa courts. The grangers
were subjected to a sharp attack, owing to these
developments; and, unfortunately, are likely to
be Disseminated against by both investors and
spectators until some genuine change for the
better takes place. 1t is high time that the
people of Iowa awoke to the seriousness of the
situation and wrested the law-making powers
from the control of ignorant demagogues.
Foreign capital viii not only be driven out, but
the business interests of the state itself viii in
eyitably be the chief sufferer in the end.

THE RACE QUESTION.
Remark by Gov. Lee-H Trouble Comes From
the Agitation. Let Il Come

the Agitation, Let It Come
RICHMOND, VA, Feb. I0.-Anuding
to the comments on his recent interview
on the race question By some Northern
papers, Governor Lee to-day said:
tSSome of the Northerners don t under
stand nor appreciate the full scope OF this
question as il concerns the south We
are friendly to the negro, but social
equality among whites and blacks is out
of the question No intelligent white
man Of reputation in the South will think
of such a thing. One New YORK paper
assumes that the Southern negroes do not
desire such a condition of affairs.
Why, Langston, the colOred candidate for
congress, in his recent speeches in South
Carolina, was quite pronounced on this
subject The counting of the cOloTed
vote in states and cities where the race is
in the majority simply means a DONNA
ton of such community by the eolOred
people, and that would force ali the
whites to sell their property and go else
where. Such an unfortunate condition
of things could not benefit the balance
of the Union There is no way
to meet this grave question
but by the local governments
themselves. 1 do not believe that Gen.
Harrison thinks any Federal legislation
can meet this emergency. If he does he
viii soon find out his mistake. Harrison
is a strict partisan, but don t believe he
has any idea that he can force upon the
South any legislation that would not be
melted out TO the North -
Auditor Ruffin, who was present, SAID:
''I believe that trouble will grow out of
this race question. -
Gwen, - rejoined the governor, eff it
must come, let it come.

these necessities, and it is safe to say

A PHILADELPHIA judge has just laid
down some law concerning those who
ride in street cars. passenger ten
dered S. bill in payment of his fare.
The conductor could not change 1t, and
after an alteration put the passenger off
the car. The passenger brought suit
for assault and battery against the con-
duetor. In his charge to the jury the
judge said: 'fWhen a passenger gets on
a street car it is his duty to pay his 5
cents fare, and if he cannot pay it, it is
his duty to get off, and if he
does not get off, the conductor
has a right to use as much force as is
necessary to put him off. Any man who
has a 500 bill, if the rule were other
wise, might ride around in street cars for
the balance of his life without paying
fare. Under these instructions the
jury acquitted the conductor. The rail-
road companies of Philadelphia are said
to be greatly pleased with the result of
the suit. They say that they have lost Il
large number of fares simply because
passengers persisted in handing conduc-
tors bills of so large an amount that they
were unable to break them.
