southern Negro VS.. western Hog.

WASHINGTON, April BY request the
house committee on agriculture reported
for hearing the lard compound bill and
the Butterworth anticipation bill, both of
which have been reported to the house
with favorable recommendations. On
the first named bill Messrs. A. Graves
representing the Georgia agricultural
association, and j Pennoyer Jones, rep
resenting the colored farmers and plant
ers of Arkansas, both colored men, made
arguments against its passage. MIR
Graves, in addition to arguments already
presented, pleaded for protection OF the
cotton seed industry against the imposi-
tions of burdens contained in the bill on
the ground that it had contributed more
than anything else to improve the condi-
tlon of the colored farmer and laborer of
the South. To pass this bill, he asserted,
would be the entering of wedge which
when driven home would separate
the colored people from the Republican
party. In the course of his argument on
Fort Worth daily gazette. (Fort Worth, Tex.) 1882-1891, 1890-04-10

the bill Mir. Jones said: eff cotton seed
oil must be taxed, why not tax the
Western hog? Why break down one in
dustry Of the country that an
other industry should be pro-
reoted. The Republican party is
committed to the policy OF protection
of American industry. 1t is so enun-
ciated in its platforms, and to its music
1t has marched to victory. II the late
canvass settled one thing on principle it
was protection. But that protection was
upon the broad lines dictated by COM
nonsense, to-wit: Protection to Amer
lean industries, American mechanics
and American labor, against foreign
manufacturers, foreign mechanics aud
foreign pauper labor. The taxing Of
one American industry to protect an
other will be resented by the great mass
of our people and hurI any party from
power that insanely attempts It. So far as
the Democratic party is concerned it Is
committed to free trade. 1t claims to be
in favor of lessening taxes and reducing
tariff. If there is anything in their pro-
LESSONS or in the principles laid down in
their late platform, then we cou-
fidently look TO them to de-
feat this most pernicious measure.
How they oan do otherwise and be true
to their creed as laid down by their
leaders is a matter that surprises and
surpasSes us. Gentlemen of the commit
tee, this bill stripped of all disguises re-
solves itself into this condition-Western
hog against Southern negro-which
will win? There is no other phase
of industry. There are supposed
to be over 200 oil mills mostly located at
the South. They employ somewhere in
the neighborhood of IS, 900 persons.
More than three-fourths of this great
number of employees are colOred men.
1t would be safe to say that there are at
least three persons who rely
upon each of these rs, 900 persons
for their support and living from this
enterprise. The wages paid to these peo-
pie aggregate IS 500 900 at the least cal
culation. The passage of this bill would
close up many of these mills and per-
chance throw thousands of dependent
people out of employment, and entail
hardship and want upon people who are
the least able to stand it-and all this to
protect the Western hog.

WASHINGTON, April 9.-Representa-
tive Randall has experienced another re-
lapse and, after passing bad night, his
condition this morning is much worse
than it was yesterday.

condition of his patient is very serious,
although he says Mr.. Randall is slightly
better to-day than he was last night.
There was a freer flow OF pus from the

had healthier appearance. But this
does not indicate an improvement in the
patient 3 condition.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, April 9.-The grain

served notice to-day upoR ell members
OF the call board and others interested,
that it was their intention to close all

tire from business. Mr.. Golsan said on

GALVESTON ALARMED.
Ruins of Yesterdays Ffre-A Dressed
Beef Contract
Special to the Gazette.

CpcC4dl W IuG ddZeGbGs
GALVESTON, TEX, April 9.--The
blowing off of cylinder head in the
National oil company's mill, corner of
Eighteenth street and Strand, at about
O'Clock tonight, caused a general
alarm of fire to be sounded. If anything
happened in the absence of the engineer,
the fireman was instructed to give three
short blasts of the whistle to call him.
Tonight when the cylinder head blew
off he became demoralized and instead
OF giving three short blasts continued
to blow, thoroughly arousing the whole
city and causing the fire department to
turn out in precipitous haste.
The ruins of the Texas standard oil
mills are being closely watched by por-
ton of the fire department, and despite
the fact that almost a constant stream of
water is playing on the flames, they fire.
quently break forth IN a threatening
manner. The secretary OF the company
states that it will be impossible to give
the actual loss or insurance until to-
morrow, when statement will be made.
1t Is stated on excellent authority that
a contract has been entered into between
the Columbus meat and ice company and
George Dobson, representative OF an
English syndicate, whereby the former
agrees to deliver 600 tons of dressed beef
to the latter at this port every fortnight
in good condition for expectation to Eng

ceived by the postmaster here few days
ago signed Mason inclosing q dime
and two unaddressed sealed envel-
opes with a request that the postma ster

These letters were written by Frederick
Kimhall. who short time ago held the
position of teller in the Peopl e's
Savings bank of Worcester, AMI who fed
with q large number of valuable

dodge TO put his wife and friends on the
wrong scent as to his whereabouts. To-
day the postmaster received a telegram
from F. A. Gaskill, district attorney Of
Massachusetts, inquiring where the let
tiers were posted that had been forwarded
to Montreal, as this would enable them
to trace the fugitive. Assistant Post
master Emery says the post mark on the
envelope is not legfble, and that the let
tiers came in with the Boston mail, and
was from one of the New England states.

Special to the Gazette.
OKLAHOMA, L. T., April 9.-Late last
night as Claude Richardson, a prominent
lumber dealer in this CITY was passing
his fathers residence en- route TO his
own home he discovered a man prowlinG
around the premises. He asked him
what he was doing there. The fellow
made no reply but advanced threaten
ingly toward him and attempted to grasp
him. Richardson Sprang back
and fred at the fellow, the
ball entering his forehead and coming
out at the back OF his head. He fell,
mortally wounded, and 1t was then dis
covered that he was colored soldier
named James Robinson, belonging TO the
hospital corps stationed at the military
camps here. He was taken to the
hospital and died at O'Clock
this morning. He never spoke
word from the time he was
shot. Il was developed that he was
keeping company with the oOlored cook
at Young Richardson g fathers, and
was pacing up and down the street
awaiting tor her to complete her labors.
She had been detained later than usual,
thus accounting for the latenesS or the
hour. Robinson has been a soldier for
over twenty years, and was on
six months furlough when he
met his death. He will be buried to-
morrow with military hOnOrs. Richard
son is IN the charge OF 6 deputy United
States marshal, and his preliminary
hearing will be had as soon as the district
attorney can arrive from Kansas. Owing
TO the absence of the police protection
and the defenseless condition of the city,
the citizens are forced to extreme vigil
anoe, yet such results are deplorable.

The South Wants a Navy Yard, but will Hardly
Get It-Congressman Randall Not EI-

Good News for the Fort.

ETecjel TO the Gazette.
WASHINGTON, April 9.-Hurrah for
Fort Worth, it will get fine public
building at cost of 500 600, if not
more. To-day Messrs. Burbridge and
Smith appeared before the house COM
mittee on public buildings and grounds
and made arguments in favor of the pro-
posed new building for Fort Worth.
They submitted sketches of the postal
and revenue receipts, gave an interest
ing description of the city and its won
derful railroad interests, manufactures
and public spirit. The committee were
so impressed with their statements and
the previous statements of Judge Abbott,
who has worked necessarily for the
passage of this measure, that they au-
thorized a favorable report to-day on his
bill, amending it, however, by appro-
priating 500, 900 instead of $3.50, 900, as
introduced.
This insures the passage of the bill, for
the house is well disposed toward public
building legislation and has already voted
$40, 900, 000 for the purpose. This is a
great step forward, and Judge Abbott
and Messrs. Burbridge and Smith are to
be congratulated for their successful
efforts.

AFTER SENATOR wALCoTT.

The latter gentlemen hope to secure
the attendance of Senator Walcott of
Colorado at the opening OF the Spring
Palace. Walcott is good speaker and
a good fellow, and it would be good
thing for Fort Worth il he will accept
the tender made. He has many friends
in Texas and is well posted on the needs
and interests of the state. 1t
was hoped that Senator Allison
ceath hEdnduced TO go, but his engage
IsfeflBSS and public duties here forbid.
The advance guard of Fort Worth will
return to Texas conscious that their trip
has been fruitful of good results. They
will leave here this week and are enthu-
siastic over the success thus far met with.
Judge Abbott has shown them every at
tention and has aided their efforts in
every way.

MEXICAN RECIPROCITY.

The ways and means committee is not
considering the proposition said to have
come from Blaine providing an amend
ment TO the tariff that certain imports
from Mexico, Central America and
South America shall be admitted free of
duty in consideration of exports from
the United States. Such q proposition
was made to the Republican members of
the committee, but they thought this
matter was a projecL for a treaty
and not 4 tariff bill, and they re-
fused to consider it. The president,
secretary Blaine and Speaker Reed had
conference, to whom the latter told the
executive that he (Reed) would not be
held accountable for the provisions of the
tariff bill, but he knew no reciprocity
could be put into that measure. The
party pilots, however, understood that
treaties are being negotiated
and the senate foreign relations commit
tee has been informed that such a treaty
with Mexico is now abont completed.
