Capt. Thomas Pierce, one Of thestaunch
builders Of Pueblo, Colo, who has made
a mint of money there and at Colorado
Springs in the livery business, was shown
over Santa Fe yesterday By his friend,
A. 7. Grigg, the furniture man, and some
thing Of hustler himself. Mr.. Pierce
says he doesn't see what's to keep Santa
Fe from making the most beautiful city
in the Rocky mountains outside OF Den
yer, and thinks the climatic advantages
here are such, if properly advertised, as
to attract thousands Of visitors every
summer. He says Colorado Springs can t
begin to cope with us from q climatic
standpoint, and hints that he and a par
ty of his friends having an eye to bust
ness will soon be here TO see what can
be done toward getting hold of some
Santa Fe realty. He represents an ele-
ment of western push that Santa Fe can
afford to welcome.

SAN Francisco, June 3O.-A special
from Truekee says: That certain sub
stances have an attraction for gold was
publicly demonstrated to-day in the pres
ence of large number OF prominent citi-
zens. A. W. Chellis, inventor OF an cleo
trical mineral ball, having been challenged
to prove that the attraction of his ball for
the precious metals could be mathemati-
cally demonstrated, placed gold in one
pan of the scales; balanced it, and hold
ing the ball near the pan containing the
gold, caused the scales to defect.
He proved that the attraction of the ball
equaled one grain for each $40 of gold.
Small particles of gold, gold dust and gold
leaf flew to the ball as iron filings will to
magnet.
The Truckee Republican tonight an
nounces that for the first time in the his
tory of the world it has been shown that
gold has magnet the same as iron.

The closing exercises Of the school at
Galisteo were held on Saturday evening.
The! exercises consisted of recitations,
songs and. dialogues, and the manner in
which they were performed shows a
great improvement in the matter of edu-
cation in that place where until two years
ago there had been no school of any kind.
The school has been maintained by pri-
vate contribution for the last two years,
and has been under the care of Mr.. j. NJ.

for the debate. not to go out of the
present schools for a debater. Your
correspondent is reliably informed that
Mr.. J. c. Wells has not been in the
Savoy school for two years. But the
Sam Houstons raised no objections.
His strongest point was: elf the niggers
were sent to Africa the Republicans
would lose their power at the ballot
box. This remark was loudly cheered,
and gave the small boy a chance to
whistle and scream and wake up many
sleepy head.
Mr.. G. W. Truett, OF the Sam Hous-
ton society, was then introduced to close
the negative side of the question. Quite
an amusing scene was Internationally
represented here, Just rs Mr.. Miller
stated 81 Will now introduce to you
Mr.. G. W. Truett,' big burly colored
man servant appeared in front of Mr..
Miller with a pitcher of water for the ia
BILE, and this interruption brought down
the house in grand style. Hats were
thrown up, handkerchiefs waived, etc.
But Mr.. Truett soon made his appear
ance and took the most of this cheering
to himself, but the most ok it belonged
to the colored individual. Mr.. Truett
opened with very cutting remarks at his
opponents, tore their arguments up
in grand style and made very strong
argument on the negative side that even
the best friends of the affirmative side
shook their heads with disappointment
and sorrow and whispered 81 am afraid
we are gone.'' And sure enough they
went. At the conclusion of Mr.. Truett's
argument the applause was fairly deaf
ening by parties of both sides of the Ques-
ton. The judges rendered their decision,
which read, two negative and one affirm
alive.
The best of feeling prevailed through
out and all felt that the judges could not
have done otherwise than they did.
The music rendered on this occasion by
the Pickens brothers and their sister,
Mrs. Evans, was superfne, though
many did not appreciate it, for it was
too fine for them. The selections, how
ever, were rather old, such as, 'Nearer,
My God, to Thee 1.-the Mockiug
Bird" and "Home, Sweet Home,''
which selections the Messrs. Pickens
played on the same stage last winter in
response to some of their friends.

WHITEwRIGHT. TEX, April 19.-As
stated in THE GAZETTE, great interest was
manifested in the debate between two
members of the Platonian society of
Savoy college and two OF the Sam Hous-
ton society of Grayson college last night.
A special train Of three coaches well filed
arrived here from Bells at p. m. and
returned at y o'clock. The Sam Hous-
ton society had made arrangements to
furnish supper to about seventy-flve or
eighty OF the pupils and friends of the
Savoy college, but owing TO their late
arrival this was dispensed with, and as
soon as the pupils were furnished with
complimentary tickets for admission they
were escorted by the Whitewright cornet
band to the beautiful hall of Grayson
college. AS soon as the rush was over
and the house crowded the drop curtain
rolled up. The faculties Of both COL
leges were seated on the stage, with
three judges, namely: Hon. Judge
BTamlette of Bonham. the selection of
the Platonlan society; Professor James
Adamson, county school superintendent
of Grayson county, and the choice of
the Sam Houston society, and
Rev. MIR. Riddle of Sulphur Springs,
who was the unanimous choice Of both
other judges. They made a fine looking
trio.
Professor Butler of Grayson college
stepped to the front and announced the
entertainment would open with violin
and piano selection, by the Piokens
brothers and Mrs. h. G. Evans. Then
Mr.. B. W. Miller, president Of the Sam
Houston society, was introduced, and de-
Evered very spicy address of welcome.
Mr.. A. T. West, president of the Pla-
tonian society, was then introduced, and
responded to the address of welcome.
Musio-Violin and piano.
The discussion was then in order.
Question" Resolved, that the negro
should be removed to Africa, in peace if
we can, by force if we must. -
Mr.. j. b. Thompson of the Platonian
society was introduced on the affirmative
side of the question and made fair talk.
He spoke in fast, low monotone, and
the cry of louder was heard more than
ouce in the back part of the hall.
Mr.. E. N. Williamson of the Sam
Houston society, was then introduced on
the negative side, and his oratorical,
clear voice elected much interest. He
made quite hit, and caught his audi
ence by storms of applause. This was
considered the strongest argument OF the
evening.
Music as before.
MIR. J. C. Wells of the Platonian So
ciety was then introduced to close the |
affirmative side of the question, though |
contrary to the understanding of both |
societies, which understanding was pro- |
posed by the Piatonans when arranging

money for such scheme. 1t strikes me that

Editor Tiad5cator:
was i'll to hear the Alliance speech in the
courthouse last Monday. / did not get to
hear it all OF what.I did hear, some was
good theory, but | cannot see how the part
especially directed to the sub-treasurv could
do Us farmers any good. In the first place it
would take millions Of dollars to build the
storage houses and millions to pay the thou
sands of officers or storekeepers. WE'LL who
will pay this money into the treasury; would
not the farmer have to pay his good share?
Then when Uncle Sam builds lie does it in an
expensive style, and what a horde OF honest
men will have to have something to do hand
ling all this money as government officials,
and, while money is not sticky, still fingers
are oftened inclined that WY and quite a
large amount would stick to he official fin
gers Then a host Of political tricksteis, would
be OH hand to get positions as storelseepers
and money CLERKS, all OF whom would be
woi kers and voters to strang hen the party
who gives them bread and meat or rather
mGney {hoodle it might b calieD. Talk
about wi .skey watchers! They woald not be
a patching to the farmer ST. i, keepers and
clerks, ana what would be the benefit? We,
the farmers, would borrow II the money and
get to specuiating or spend it one way and
another-the interest being 50 iow-and when
it is to be paid we would he just as bad of OF
worse. And it would not he long till OnT
lands would have To bs sold Or belong to the

Any farmer or prat bicai man who will con-
slider this matter, unless he has hopes of get
ting soft place by it,, viii certainly see the
impractiag biiity of such wild scl,aHie. Now

DICTATOR.

FREDERICKSBURG, V A. DEC. ..
The flood Of industrial development which
is pervading Virginia, has begun pouring
its life giving waters into this beautiful,
quiet nook. / use the word quiet mainly
from past ignorance, thesame ignorance that
you will find in ninety-lline out OF a hun
bred of other Virginians. The fact is that
as people we have not travelled much, land
we are as ignorant Of what is III the small
ler towns Of our State as if they were loca
ted in Alaska. We accept at second hand
certain phrases about Virginia cities and ig-
norantly adopt theln-such, for example, as
this or that town is FINISHED town OF q
'.dead' town OF some other equally damag-
ing phrase. And with the repetition of the
phrase, the idea grows, and the material in
justice to the town keeps pace with it. Let
me sum up i'll moment what [ saw in
driving over this ''quiet'7 town this morn
ing. Remember it has only about five
thousand inhabitants.
