Fort Worth and a worlds Fair.
Denison Herald


What is the matter with Fort Worth? The
time was when it would have been insisting that
the worlds fair should be held there.
We trust it has lost none OF its old-time enter
prise Paris News.
One reason for Fort Worth 8 success in
her enterprises heretofore is found in the
fact that she has not grasped after the
unattanable. She has made some long
reaches, it is true, but she considered the
length of her arm and seldom missed her
calculation. The men who are at the
head of Fort Worth enterprise are sensi-
bic men and know as well as does
the Paris News that to even think
of the world IS fair in Fort Worth would
be preposterous She could handle
state fair creditably and an interstate
fair possibly, but her capability to handle
big things must have a limit. Having
the foresight TO see this, she draws the
line at this point and very wisely lays no
clam 20 the worlds fair in competition
with New York, Chicago, Philadelphia
and st. Louis. That's ''what is the
matter with Fort Worth. - Fort Worth
is plucky she has accomplished wonders
in the past and is capable of grand posi-
bilities in the future, but just at present
she is not ready to take hold of a world IS
fair.

HoustOn's Debt.

There is some feeling in Houston Tex. :,
on account of the hesitation of Northern
capital to become interested there, while
other inland Texas cities, prominently
Fort Worth, Dallas and DenisOn, are at
tracing much attention. Houston has
ample facilities for almost all kinds of
manufacturing, and it has puzzled its
people to account for the manner in
which it has been neglected. It seems
that the city has reputation as a repu-
diatOT of its obligations, which reputa-
ton has caused Boston capitalists to pass
1t by. a prominent Texan, Mr.. T j
Hurley, interested in the industrial de-
yelopment in his state, and well known
in Boston, gives us this explanation of
the troubles: Immediately after the
close of the civil war, and dur
ing the reconstruction period,
Houston fell under the sway of political
adventures, both white and black, and
among other evils this administration of
the city's affairs issued mortgage for
several hundred thousand dollars upon 4
market building worth about one hun
dred thousand, at very high rate Of in
terest, which bonds were placed here at
a low figure. When the property owning
and tax paying citizens regained control
of municipal affairs, they at first refused
to honor these bonds, but later funded
them and paid the interest on the new
issue with invariabIe regularity. Mr.
Hurley adds that Houston is thriving,
go-ahead city, and it feels keenly the
stigma placed upon its name and its
credit as the result of the maladmin-
istration of city affairs by
non-taxpaying political adventures
in the dark days following the
end of the war. AS Boston has so much
interest in Southern develo pment, and is
finding the same profitable field for in
vestment, it is but simple justice to give
the facts in this case Maj. Smith of
Houston makes this statement of the
city 5 financial condition. 81 emphati-
cally deny as incorrect the impression
that the city of Houston is d repudiator
of her obligations. She has compromised
all, or nearly all, of her bonded debt
into B and per cent. interest bearing
bonds, and the interest thereon is paid
promptly on the first day of January and
July of each year The floating debt of
the city is only about $500, and $500 of
this is on bridge lately completed.
repeat. the city of Houston has nerve
repudiated a single dollar Of her obliga-
lions.

THE EMPEROR OF CHINA.
His Absolute Power and Tremendous Bespon-
sibilities.

sibilities.
London Saturday Review.
He is exempt, it is true, from the dan
ger of assassination, except possibly by
poison; but not only is he the ultimate
referee on all subjects connected
with government from 800, ZOO ZOO
people singularly liable to colossal
disasters from famine, flood, earth
quake and epidemics, and liable
also for all their submissiveness to the
maddest bursts of insurrectionary fury;
not only has he to satisfy these millions
as if they were in some sense a divine
being, and to control them without a
standing army; not only has he to resist
permanent menace of invasion from the
north and intermittent threats of in
vasion by the coast; not only has he to
control huge civil service, the most cor
rupt in the world, and the one in which
the great men are the most powerful, but
he has to remember that he is Mantcheou
emperor, and to maintain the ascend
ancy of his house and clan against mil
lions upon millions of subjects, who,
deep as is their reverence for his office,
have never forgotten that the dynasty is
a dynasty of lntruders. FOut with the
Tartarl' is the cry for which every en-
peror of China listens, and there are
men in the empire with whom he must
deal cautiously, because they attract
Chinese as opposed to Tartar royalty.
To hold such position might strain
the abilities of the ablest, and the En-
press Tsze CHI has so held it that the
throne was never so powerful; that overt
insurreotion had disappeared; that the
want of another to describe Chinese con-
tent with themselves-is distinctly
higher than ever; that a treasury which
was the morass of debt and fraud raises
money at per cent. and pays the interest
like a European state; that the militia
has developed into a dangerous though
slow moving army; that the power of
the Mussulu1an secretaries - 900 900 of
them, have been pulverized; that the
Mussulman kingdom of Kashgar has been
made a Chinese province, filed with
Chinese peasants; that Russia has beeE
driven back from Kuldja and France ar
rested in Tonquin, and that Chinese am
bassadors are treated throughout Europe
as the representatives of one Of the great
powers of the worlds power not to be
neglected much less affronted, without
the grayest reason.
China is more solid and eontented at
home and UNNECESSARILY more powerful
abroad than when the empress, a lady,
probably with crippled feet who has
never since girlhOod been outside the
park wall of the palace in Pekin, took up
the jade sceptre, which she has welded
through a generation with so firm
and skilled a hand! And yet Europe
has known nothing Of her, not even
her name. That, in this era of communi-
cation, when every newspaper knows
everything, and news even from China
arrives instantaneously, where corre-
spondents are as numerous as languages,
and the far East is not only watched
through a microscope, but swept of its
treasures with a smalI-tooth comb, is
surely a strange fact.

Work for the Press of the South.

Baltimore Manufacturers Record.
The Manufacturers Record believes
that the South cannot afford to allow the
jute culture question to go unsolved any
longer. In addition to the article in an
other column from the pen of an ex-
tensive cultivator of vegetable fiber, we
have received q letter from the assistant
secrtary of agriculture, Mr.. Edwin VIII
Its. In this letter Mr., Willis says:
''This department has taken great
interest in the manufacture Of fibers in
the past, and has been encouraged
recently by the manifest interest in the
subject throughout the country. There
is no doubt that the South can produce
jute in large aad paying quantities if
capitalists can be induced to invest in its
culture and manufacture. 1t looks as
though we are on the eve of fiber revo-
luton, including flax, jute and ramie.
Machines are being invented that are
solving the question Of manipulation and
manufacture. Just to what extent the
government shall further experiments is
a question that must be submitted to
congress. If congress at its next session
shall recognize the Importance of such
step, and viii give Us the appropriation
for it, we would most heartily take up
the subject aud solve the jute question. -
Here, then, is grand opportunity for
the press of the South to do some good

DR.. Brown-sequard's Elixir of Life.

DR.. William A. Hammond in North American
Review for September.
The first information received in this
country of DR.. Brown-Sequard s re-
searches was through a telegram to a
New York newspaper, conveying such
Imperfect details, however, that the
writer was disposed to question either
the authenticity of the report or DR..
BrOWn-Sequard' mental equilibrium.
1t was apparently stated that various
glands of the body were used in his ex-
periments, and that DR.. Brown-Sequard
had suddenly become a very much
younger man than he had been. Further
information, however, showed the exact
nature of his experiments and OF the
claims which he had set up in their be-
half. The writer therefore determined
to examine into the matter for
himself, and as the result of
his investigation he is enabled to
give, in such genera terms as are suita-
bic for q secular Journal like the North
American Review, a confirmation of DR..
Brown-SeQuard s statements, so far as
his researches have extended. And not
only this, but he has apparently shown
that muscular rheumatism of long stand
ing has been entirely relieved after a
single injection of the juice in question.
He has been careful to state, and he still
so declares, that all the experiments up
to this time are not sufficient to establish
the claims of this glandular juice as an
alleviator of old age or q cure of any dis
ease whatever. The whole matter is yet
in its experimental stage, and it will
there remain until the subject has been
examined INTO by many physicians under
different circumstances, and q general
coincidence of opinion obtained.
Now, DR.. Brown equard
did not go blindly to work with
his experiments, for every lntelli-
gent physician knows the relation which
exists between the glands in question and
the mental and physical condition of the
animal to which they belong. There is
much a-priori reasoning to support the
conclusions at which he has arrived.
They are not based upon empiTicism, but
are rational Investigations carried out
with intelligence, Whether or not he
has made auyHpparent addition to our
means of assuaging the infrmities of old
age or of curing disease, time alone can
show. But those physicians. who de-
nounce honest investigation in this or
any other direction are unworthy of the
profession to which they belong, and
should be relegated to some limbo where
they can enjoy their self-satIsfaction
without coming in contact with their
more energetic brethren.

The Policy OF the Republican Party

Speaker Carlisle in the August Forum.
To tax the people heavily for the pur-
pose of perpetuating this restrictive Re-
publican policy, and then to use the rev.
enue derived from such taxation to sub
sidiZe corporations engaged in the for
eign carrying trade, Is manifestly so alb
surd and unjust that it cannot be de-
Tended upon any rational ground except
that of a generous disposition upon the
part of members of congress to give away
other people IS money. Yet this is Just
what the Republican party now proposes
to do, and Senator Morrill, proclaims it
without seeming to be aware of the alb
