GOVERNOR FORAKER and the other noto
rious northern republican politicians who
have during recent p%olitlca! campaigns come
to Virginia TO Instruct her farmers how to
vote, have invariably and necessarily re-
iterated the assertion that protection bene-
fits farmers by stimulating manufactures
and thereby afording q home market for
farmers products. Well, of all the States
Ia the Union, Massachusetts,, for its size, hes
the most manufactures, and is consequently
most protected. The farmers of that State,
therefore, should have the best home mar.
kct for their products, and be in prosperous
condition. But that the exact reverse is the
case wss asserted by ore of the speakers at
the meeting of the Massachusetts farmers
association in Boston last week, who de-
scribed the condition of the farmers of his
State as any thing else than prosperous,
and "a due in great part to the tariff system,
by which the farmers are plundered for the
profit of protected manufacturers,

TEXAS MUSIC TEACHERS.
ried Out at Galveston-Some superb
RenditiOns.

Special to the Gazette.
GALVESTON, TEX, June 26.-The
Texas music teachers association met al
8 a. IN. IN Turner's hall. The pro-
gramme for this meeting was changed,
owing to the non-appearance of Pro-
fessor Eoler.
The following papers were read and ably
discussed by members generally: Nor
NAL Music Schools, by Professor Brown;
Reasons for Using Text Books in Study
ing Rudiments, by Mrs. c. A. Bujac;
music clubs as fosters of education, by
Mrs. Averill, and supplementary paper
on the same subject by Mrs. Hamlet.
With the exception of the rendition of
Fluer Des Alps, by Miss Traynham, the
balance of the time was consumed by
Professor Horace Clark's recital. He
rendered the following: Sonata, in D
minor, No. ., Beethoven; Ada
gio Allegretto, Bird as Proph-
ct, Schuman; Eur Guitarre,
Hitler. Elgie, op. %, No. Z, Cohpin;
Tarantella, G Flat, Moszkowski; Der
Schalk, Franz Llszt; Polonaise, +.
Major, List. Professor Clark distIngu-
ished himself and captured the audience
by his excellent rendition of each num-
Der, and proved himself worthy of the
title of pianist. His technique shading
and expression were faultless, and his
general Interpretation of pieces rendered
was simply perfect.
In the afternoon session DR.. F. E.
Hodges of Galveston, read an interesting
paper on the Voice and Throat. -
Miss Buckingham of Houston followe d
with paper on the physical Benefits
of the OvertaXed System, - which she
treated in such a clever and comprehen-
siVe manner as to elicit the closest atten-
ton of the association. These papers
evoked general and intelligent
discussion, which was interspersed with
musical gems contributed by Miss Clara
Reaville, the gifted young pianist, who
rendered her selections in a very artistic
manner. Miss Buckingham, Miss Jones,
and Hamill also gave fine exhibitions of
their skill as cultured musicians.
Professor c. Munich, contest of New
York, gave a very interesting practical
illustration of voice method that was
greatly enjoyed by the audience.
The association then adjourned until
9 a. m. tomorrow.
Tonight they were edited by literary
and musical extravaganza at the opera
house by the Galveston musical soci-
cites.

THE THREATENED UPRISING.
Leader-Twelve Men in Custody on
the American Side.

Special to the Gazette.
LAREDO, Ten. June GA detail of
the Third regiment of Mexican cavalry
which went up the river last Tuesday
night, returned TO New Laredo yesterday
morning. They have evidently had some
trouble with the revolutionists, and va
rious rumors are current in regard to the
affair, but no definite report can be OBJ
tanned as they will give no information
to outsiders as to what transpired while
they were up the river. They brought
in one prisoner with them. Major An
nastacia Garcia, who went out in charge
of the troops, was brought in last night
in dying condition from heat and over
exertion. He dieu last night and was
buried with military honors this morn
ing.
The authorities have succeeded in cap
turing five more of the revolutionists and
have twelve men in custody. Their ex-
animation on charge of violating the
United States neutrality laws will be
held next Saturday before Commissioner
S. I. Foster. Their leader, Ruiz San
doval. was offered bail at $4,000, the re-
mainder at $1,000 each, failing to. give

ADVERTISE TEXAS.
How 1t Can Be Accomplished at the G. A. B..
Eneampment at Boston.

WICHITA FALLS, TEX, June 21.-In
he News of Sunday last note with in
terest and pleasure a few suggestions
from Capt. Geo. A. Knight of Dallas :.
He is right. Texas should be well repre-
sented at the meeting of theGrsud Army
at Boston this summer. A world of
good can be accomplished at Boston by
doing as knight suggests, viz, trent q
good room at first-class hotel for Texas
headquarters, and have there good
supply of printed information on
Texas
Allow me to suggest to friend Knight
that he also have nice collection of
Texas products to sandwich in with
the "printer's ink. - The products
will help to carry the printed matter.
Either will beat nothing, but both will
make the Eastern "yanks' and others
who don t know Texas-a good meal.
It will help convince them that we don t
s'wear horns down here and that we
raise something besides ''hades.' -
Speaking Of horns, again let me sug-
gest that the Texas Grand Army boys
leLve the horns ut home this trip. 1
would much prefer to see them take
along sheaf OF wheat or ear of corn-if
not the genuine article, have the wheal
and, corn painted on banner.
1t will bear horns as q draw
ing card. If they must have horns to
represent Texas, take short ones. Give
down East people to understand that
Texas is keeping up with the procession
as well or better Than many other states.
Pardon me for offering so many sug-

gessions, but you know my failing.
will talk and criticise. cts my nature
to do so and its well I live in free
America, - where we are blessed with
that privilege.
Yes, Knight is right about California
being represented Ut the meetings of the
Grand Army, and you might add that
the people and railroads of that state Sci
dom miss an opportunity to advertise
their state. They not only attend the
Grand Army meetings but all other
gatherings and large conventions. They
were well represented at both the nation
al Democratic and Republican eonven-
tions at st. Louis and Chicago.
AS We were at Columbus, Ohio, two
years ago during the Grand Army en-
campment, we know well how they
worked that crowd for California. They
had three carloads of California fruits,
vegetables, grains, woods, minerals,
ETC.. and carload of first class printed
matter was distributed on that occasion.
They did a great work for their state,
but not more than can be done for Texas
at Boston if we Texans will make the eff
fort. Why not have Texas well repre-
sented at Boston.
Two carloads of Texas products-min-
erals, woods, ETC.. with abundance OF
facts and figures, placed in good public
hall at Boston during the Grand Army
encampment, would be the means of
turning great many people and large
amount of capital to Texas and no doubt
the railroads of Texas would be glad to
meet the people half way in this work.
My word for it, it will pay both people
md railroads better than all this COM
mission and anti-commissiou talk we are
now having. Yours for Texas,

WASHINGTON. June 26.-Spsaker Reed
dons his flannel shirt and silk sash and
burning heat, he is ready for it, and is
not going to be driven from his position.
This is comfort to him and hint to his
followers. They may all be expected to
come out in flannel shirts and sashes
before long.
Mr.. Reed is very happy over his suo-
cess in the management of the Federal
election bill, having stifled about all the
open opposition to it on the Republican
side of the house. A vote will be taken
in the house Tuesday next, and there
now appears no sound reason for the be-
lief that the bill will not get nearly all
the votes on the Republican side. No
one will be more surprised than the
Democratic leaders if the bill does not
pass with good majority. Nor are the
Democrats as confident of assistance
from Republicans to defeat the bill in
the senate as they were few days ago.
Silver Republicans in the senate are I'M
der obligations to the Democrats for their
support in securing the free coinage
amendment to the silver bill, but there
is some uncertainty about their readiness
TO repay the obligation. So much has
been said about bargain between them
and Democrats for favors they may be
very reluctant to do anything that will
carry out such bargain. 1t is just as
possible that certain senators who are
honestly opposed to the Federal election
scheme may refrain from voting against
1t, because of fear of subjecting them
selves to criticism, and Democrats may
actually lose votes rather than gain by
their action on the silver bill. A good
many Democrats fear this may be the
result, and are not entirely confident
that the bill may not become law. Mr.,
Hemphill. who is head of the minority
committee OF the house having the matter
in charge, says while he it confident the
bill could not pass the senate if
senators all voted according TO their
convictions, he did not feel assured By
the present situation. He thought
southern Democrats had more to hope
for from the fact that certain senators
from the Republican side might not
think it to their party advantage for
such law to go into effect. He did not
rely much on the gratitude of silver men.
In spite of the fears of Democrats, how
ever, it is quite possible that the bill will
be killed in the senate by long
speeches.
