THE KAISER AND COERCION.


Kaiser wilhelm declared the other
night in an address delivered at Breslau
that he opposed state coercion. This
declaration is in line with the liberal
policy adopted by him sometime ago to-
wards the Socialists of the empire. in
declining TO have renewed the proscrip-
tive laws against them soon TO expire by
Limitation. He evidently feels that
coercion and repressive measures have
had some share in producing or aug
menting the spread of Socialism in the
empire, and that the more rigidly those
laws have been executed, the more en-
Uttered have the Socialists become.
Always, the effort to compel man by
force to alter his opinions political or
religious, or to accommodate these
opinions to a standard prepared by
another, results in making a bigot, an
defense of the prescribed opinions. A
man convinced by force against his will
is all the more convinced that he is right,
and the other wrong. Left to the free
exercise of his faculties and the opera
ton of healthful influences on his mind,
he will much sooner correct his own
mistakes than another can do it for him.
Probably the kaiser is actuated by such
views as these in his new departure and
mode of dealing with the Socialists.
Once they discover that the emperor is
will grow, and with it desire to CO.
operate with him in accomplishing the
reforms contemplated by both.

A CALL
For a Convention of Texans Interested In
Developing the Manufacturing and Ner-
camille Interests of the State.

FORT WORTH CHAMBER OF CoMMERcE)
SECRETARY OFFICE. 7
Fort WORTH, Tex, Aug. Il, 1880.
A convention of delegates from trade
and manufacturing organizations, munio-
qualities and people interested in devel-
oping the manufacturing and mercantile
interests of Texas has been called to
meet in Fort Worth on September "a +,
1890, for the purpose of devising ways
and means to induce capital to seek our
state and accomplish this object.
The advantage to accrue to the people
of Texas by having our raw material,
found in endless quantity In this state,
manufactured into merchantable COM
modities must be patent to every mind
that has given the subject careful con-
sideration. Manufacturers are disposed
to come to our state, capitalists are ia
vorably disposed, but there has been no
united action to place before them the
facts about our resources and the vast
field open TO them and wholesale mer-
chants. This convention Is called to
meet the demand made upon the state.
1t Is proposed to have Eastern and
Northern manufacturers and capitalists
present at our deliberations. Governor
Ross has expressed a willingness to CO.
operate in the matter.
To this end you are cordially invited
and requested to send one or more dele
gates from your organization, munich
pality or county to this convention.
Efforts will be made to arrange with the
railway companies for reduced rates to
delegates and others who attend. AS
the time is short we respectfully urge
immediate action and request that you
send to the secretary of the Fort Worth
chamber of commerce the names of
those selected to represent you IN the
convention.

CONGRESSIONAL.
The Senate Passes Eighty Private PEN
sion Bills in Thirty Minutes.
The Bill Authorizing a Railroad Through Fort
Clark Military Reservation Also Passes.
Virginia Contested Election Cases.
Il. CONGRESS.
SENATE.


WASHINGTON, sept. 1.-THE house
bill authorizing the construction of q
railway through the Fort Clark military
reservation in Texas was reported and
passed.
The senate proceeded to the considera-
ton (for one houE of bills on the cal
endar :unobjected to. and several were
passed. At the expiration of the hour
the senate resumed consideration of the
state bill to establish a United States
land court and to provide for the settle
ment of private land claims in the states
of Nevada, Colorado, Wyoming and in
the territories of New Mexico, Arizona
and Utah.
After long discussion the bill was laid
aside without action.
Mr.. Plumb offered resolution to re-
commit the house bankruptcy bill to the
judiciary committee with instructions to
amend it so as to provide for q system of
voluntary bankruptcy only, and to re-
port it back amended at the earliest
practicable moment. He gave notice
that he would ask a conference on the
resolution Tomorrow.
Private pension bills on the calendar
were then taken up and eighty of them
were passed in thirty minutes. The SEN
ate then adjourned.
HOUSE.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 17.-Mr. Haughen
of Wisconsin demanded the regular
order, being the Langston- Venable con-
tested election case, but Mr.. Payson of
Illinois interposed with conference re-
hn
After debate the house decided not to con-
slider conference report. Mr.. Haughen
then called up the election case against
which Mfr. O'Ferran raised question of
consideration.
Mr.. Cheadle of Indiana opposed the
majority resolution, and declared that
the Republicans of the house could not
afford to vote Venable out and Langston
in. The Fourth district of Virginia was
reliably Republican and 1t had been car
ried by the Democrats, not because OF
the popularity of Cleveland or the I'M
popularity Of Harrison, but because of
the Republican division. 1t was per-
fectly plain and natural, the statement
of fact that the Republican party in that
district had been beaten solely by reason
of the irreconcilable differences in the
Republican party. 1t had been race
division, with all that such division could
Timply in the South. He said that he
could not under his oath, and with his
knowledge of the case vote to seat the
contestee, and he hoped for the good
name of the house and for the good name
of the great party to which he belonged,
that there would be enough Republicans
voting with him to retain Venable in his
seat. When Mr. .Cheadle concluded he was
greeted with applause by the Democrats.
The case then went over till tomorrow.
Mr.. Haughen said he would call the
previous question at 2 O'Clock to-
morrow.
The speaker announced his signature
to the river and harbor bill, and house
took recess, the evening session to be
for the consideration of bills reported by
the committee on military affairs.

The Cause of the Late Squeeze.


AS to the causes of the weakness in
the stock market, there is but the one
most important explanation, viz: That
it is an apprehension of what may be +,
rather than any realization of anything
else. The money would be tight any
how, even if the new tariff would not go
into effect, because there has been an
unusual demand for money ali over the
country for earlier moving of crops and
for the prosecution of larger industrial
enterprises than usual, and especially at
speculation in grain, which, ever since
the bad news about crops, has been alb
sorbing speculative capital, and espe-
cially in the West.
But the immediate thing, which in
the situation has the most effect to unset
tie the confidence and makes all the
money lenders refuse TO lend except they
have unusual inducements, is the appre-
hension that there is going to be crisis
In connection with the withdrawal of
goods from United States bonded ware
houses in order to escape advance in
tariff. 1t does not make much difference
that the amount which the importers
would have to pay If they withdrew their
goods by November l is exaggerated.
1t probably is exaggerated; but by one
means or another, the people have got it
fixed in their minds that unless longer
time is given for goods to remain in
bond, there will be a crisis.

THE st. Louis Globe-Democrat notes
the circumstance that there are S45, 600, :
600 more in circulation now than at this
time year ago, and cites the fact as
proof that the treasury is not responsible
for the present stringency in money
But for Harrison's bungling and in
capable administration, and the botch-
work done in congress, there would be
no stringency. The recklessness and
profiigacy with which the surplus and
government revenue have been scattered
abroad, have put money enough IN cir
culation, but the politico-legislative
tricks and schemes of Harrison, Reed :,
Mckinley s. Co., have oounteracted
the wholesome tendency, and inspired
lack of confidence in business cirles.

cal bomb on the nerves of DR.. Harri-
son and the other friends of the
force bill? Can these gentlemen
in the face of such an arraignment of the
negro, have the audacity TO still persist
in the political savagery of subjectiug the
white people of the South to the rule and
domlnanoy of the negro, or of giving the
latter the power to elect twenty-five or
thirty congressman? What have the
Reeds, Lodges, ct al, TO say now of the
political rights of the poor, down-trod-
den negro? Will they continue to dis
gust the public with their hypoeritical
mouthings and sentimental SOLDERING
over his fate? We shall see.

THE LILY WHITE BOMB,

The manifesto or address to the Re-
publicans of Texas issued by provision
al state executive committee through its
secretary, Max Urw,tz, proclaiming that
it is no longer possible for the white Re-
publicans of the state to submit to the
insulting and humiliating dominancy of
the negro leaders and their ignorant,
corrupt and purchasable followers, and
that all political fellowship between
white and black Republicans in the state
should at once cease, and each faction
seek salvation in its own way independ-
emily of the other, is remarkable doc
political skies. It is the most
sweeping denunciation of the colored
brother as q patriot and political factor
that has emanated from Republican
sources since his emancipation. The re-
sources of Webster's unabridged were
well nigh exhausted in search of adjec-
tives to depict the degraded and Disgrace
full political character of the negro, and
to outline the brutal, shameful and arro-
CANT manner in which he employed the
force of mum bers to lord it over the min
party councils to submit to the barbarous
rule of an ignorant and degraded political
horde.
The time had come, said this notable
address, "to meet the terrible and
gigantic evils of negro domination in our
state, etc. How meet them? By
organizing white mans party,
and putting forth at once state
ticket to be voted for this fall. Cuney's
ticket nominated at San Antonio is to be
entirely ignored, and a white mans
ticket substituted in its stead. Such is
the elimination of the differences so
palpable in the late convention between
the lily whites and the blacks. The
manifesto, which bears evidence of being
deliberately and maturely considered,
proclsims an open and determined re-
volt against the Senegambian, that is,
against his control Of state politics.
Care is taken to say in the manifesto,
"emphatically, too, that while it is
proposed to exclude the negro from the
primaries. s'we do not intend to
depriye him of his right of suf-
frage, or any other right of
citizenship guaranteed him by the
constitution of the United states.' Of
course not. They only mean that the
negro shall have no voice in making
tickets, in selecting candidates for
office, or in operating party machinery.
Although largely in the majority, num-
bers shall not count, and the negroes
must content themselves with voting for
white Republicans, or not at all, or else,
vote for Democrats. Voting ia the
utmost limit Of the political franchise to
be allowed them. IT'S so in Kansas and
every ether Northern state. Why should
it not be so in Texes? Why, indeed7
Well now. the next question is, what

THE WEEKLY GAZETTE.

The constantly growing circulation of
the Weekly GAZETTE is evidence that the
effort to furnish first-class paper de-
voted to the interests of the people is be-
ing appreciated.
The Weekly GAZETTE is a twelve-page
paper, containing a summary of the news
OF the world for each week, and is filled
with choice literature and miscellaneous
reading matter, which must prove in
struotive and entertaining to the young
as well as to the old.
The Agricultural Department, edited
by Professor STEELE, recently introduced,
commends the Weekly GAZETTE to all
Texas farmers and contains matter each
issue more than worth the price of the
paper:
AS an advertising medium the Weekly
GAZETTE is incomparably superior TO any
published in the Southwest, and offers
unequalled facilities to all who wish to
reach the people of Texas.

"wILL ALLEN, - she who wrote "Agin
the Mountins,' has raised quite q
storm about her ears by late article re-
lating to class of people she has I'M
earthed in Hancock county, Tenn. This
isolated corner wasvirtually unexplored
until this plhcky little woman visited it
and described the ways of the inhabit-
ants. These, she says, are locally known
as Malungeons, and are mongrel peo-
pie usually believed to be the offsprings
of union of Cherokees and runaway
negroes. These people neither toll, nor
spin, know nothing of work, live hard
and are very sharp traders. The result
of the dispute is that considerable verira-
BILE history as we'll as traditional lore is
seeing the light. and Miss Dromgoole
seems to have proved her case, thar in
the heart of the country there is Pc
cullar people of whose existence the ma
jority were ignorant.

Manchester Trade Review.

MANCHESTER, Eng, Sept. 1.-THE
Guardian in its review of Yesterday IS
market says: There was q moderate
business for several of the markets, but
there was little doing for India and
China. Prices were generally steady i,
though occasionally manufactures are
easier. The position of producers. es-
pecially spinners, is decidedly improved
regarding the margin. Despite the eff
forts to break prices founded on decline
on cotton, the market is remarkably
firm. Yarn is very quiet. There was u
little more inquiry for bundles for ex-
port, but offers were rarely acceptable.
Cloth was quiet but steady. Inquiry for
India and China is increasing somewhat.
Best printers and other finishing cloth 8
were quiet but firm. Common grades
were freely offered, though there was
less pressure to sell. Good heavy goods
were steady. Lower grades were fairly
steady, although the demand was in
active,

BERLIN, Sept. 1.-THE explain
atoms put forth by the Berlin Post and
other more or less official organs in re-
gard to the notice restoring the East
African slave trade are so foggy as to
entirely fail to support the object of
justifying the measures complained of.
The true 1nwardness of Africa is not
unders TODD at Berlin, even by the colo
NAL office. 1t is considered possible the
officials of the coast may have Numbered
and gone further than warranted through
misinterpretation of their instructions.
The probability is that the intention of
the government was to simply assure the
Arabs that the new rulers of the country
would not meddle with such domestic
slavery as they found existing, though
they would not sanction slave traffic as
whole. 1t will be remembered even the
famous Christian soldier Gordon admitted
the necessity of permitting domestic
slavery under the present conditions of
African society.

The KOMAN IN THE CASE

All Europe is stirred by the first chap
ter in the expose of the Boulangist plot
to overthrow the French republic in the
interest of the Royalists. AS usual in all
such cases in France, q womun cut q
very prominent figure in the affair. In
the Boulanger episode, the Duchess
Dues, who gave Boulanger 5000, 900
francs to accomplish the grand coup, was
the woman in the case. The organ of
the lingo general denies any plot to at
tack the government, and declares that
the money was given to him because the
duchess loved him-which in French
means that she was his mistress. In ad-
dition to the statement of the duchess
comes the Royalist organ correspondence
which declares that Boulanger was sub
sidized by the Royalists. The evidence
seems to preponderate against the gen.
eral, and to prove that the fiery ardor
which he displayed some three years ago
in favor of new constitution was only q
cloak for the Infamous designs OF the
revolutionist and the traitor.
