culture of Texas that the Imagination
can handle. It was Texas from the
ground floor 10 the dome. It had won
and justly a place in the affections of
Texans and was always alluded to with
pride and admiration. Probably 100,-
900 Texans-men. women ana children
had looked at its grand proportions and
walked through its halls aud towers, gaz-
ing admlringly at the wonderful exhibits
and the ingenuity that was supreme on
every hand. And the Palace was known
throughout the United States. Repre-
sentative men and women from nearly
every state had visited it, admired it and
gone home with revelatiou--a reVela-
ton of the resources, capabilities and
advantages of Texas. There are To-day
millions of dollars invested in Texas that
would not be here had the Palace never
been reared in Fort Worth. It was of
and for Texas, and all the state came
within its benifcent influence. Finally
it was an illustration of the pluck and
patriotism of sister city-Fort Worth
and from that standpoint alone 1t de-
served admire Lion. Il was grand con-
ception and no wonder the Fort Worth
people felt proud of it. It is state loss
and whether the Palace Is ever rebuilt or
not there is not ono of the thousands
who saw it can forget it. 1t will be q
memory we shall ali be glad to cherish.

REBUILD THE PALACE

The Spring Palace will DE rebuilt. It
| should be rebuilt. No better reason
need be given than that it should. Only
| two years in existence, 1t did more te
place the great state of Texas before tho
nation in her true light, than all other
agencies. besides. It was not merely
| marvelously successful advertising
scheme for the state at large. That
feature if it was but mere
accident or concomitant of the
central and vastly more important
idea that it should stand forth in all its
beauty as an actual, tangible, visible
representation of Texas and all her
varied resources OF mine, field and fac
tory. It should typify Texas greatness
in its multitudinons form. That it did
SO, and for the first time in its history
furnished the entire nation with a charm
ing, captivating picture OF the state as
she actually is, and fastened all eyes
upon her, has been demonstrated ia
thousand different ways. 1t was
not a thing of beauty merely
for the imaginative visitor to rave
over as he has frequently done,
and to represent in various poetic forms,
or for the idealistio or idle looker-on to
admire and talk about. 1t was Texas in
miniature, and as such had become
associated everywhere in the thoughts of
hn nj rrlO
of the state which it typified SO well.
That such association should be Kept up,
thai the glory and benefits of 1t should
be perpetual, goes without saying.
Not only should the Palace be rebuilt,
but it should be done in more substan-
tial and permanent form than at first.
The original idea, to-w.., that the Pal
ace should be constructed of Texas stone,
marble and iron, should be carried out
and the new structure erected upon the
ashes OF the old, be made in reality, not
only handsomer, but more durable
and fitting emblem of Texas than was the
old structure. The materials of it can be
gathered from the various counties
Of the state excelling in natural pro-
duets. The pillars can be got from
Llano, Cherokee and iron producing
counties, granite from Burnett aud 9TH
ers in which it abounds, and so on. 1t
is useless to think of erecting another
wooden structure. People could only be
got TO look at it through telescope. No
one, we know, does think of it. 1t is
now for the directors and the enterprls-
ing people of Fort Worth to see to it that
a grander Palace than any they had hith-
erto thought of should replace the old
one, and that it should be made of stone
and iron, as originally contemplated.

A SEVEN COUNTY COMBINE.

Hon. George Clark with the only other
patriots and pure Democrats met in Dali
las Saturday and from the meeting was
evolved that "purer formation" for
which the CD. News has so long pined.
The Dallas convention was small, but
it was recherche, not much more than q
BAKERS dozen of gentlemen answering to
the call to the uncovered.
The signers to the call on Judge Cook,
outside of few Dallas men unknown
outside of the Three Forks, were
George Clark railroad attorney;
Bryan Barry, ex-railroad attorney;
o. T. Holt, railroad attorney;
Seth Shepard, railroad attorney;
NJ. c. Harris, monopolist,
And one or two others.
The call upon Judge Cook virtually
reads out of the Democratic party all
men who do not deny the right of regu-
lation through a commission. The sign
ers to the call, representing seven out Of
240 counties in Texas, virtually declare
themselves to be the only hope of the
country, and they appointed an exeou-
tive committee in each district, pre-
sumabIy in place of the executive COM
mittees now looking after Democratic
interests in the political vineyard. Bryan
T. Barry was elected chairman
and general manager of the cam
paign. AS Mr.. Barry, ever since
his defeat for the romination for
lieutenant-governor, has been convinced
that the party has departed from the
faith of his fathers, he will no doubt
give all his time to the defeat of the
commission amendment and of any man
for governor who is honestly in favor
of the amendment. From his remarks,
as printed in the News, the new chair.
man of the new party of political saints
will deyelop into Bogardus kicker and
call all commission advocates bad names,
politically. He says that men, though
they insist on being Democrats, must
be "kicked eut,'' of which farmers
and laboring men will take due heed.
The entire strength of this 'new
party" In Texas. judging from the In
temperate speech of its chairman, will
not gather votes enough to elect q justice
of the peace, much less TO tie up Demo-
cratic state convention.
There were some peculiar ciroum-
stances attending that Dallas seven
county state convention, to-wit: The
secret circular calling Halls friends to
meet at Dallas at the same time and
plaza as the anti-commissionists and the
accidental presence Of Col. Bonner. The
meeting itself was peculisr-it encour-
aged Mr.. Hall, professed commission
list, to stay in the rece and yet nomi-
mated Cook. It smiled on Col. Bon
ner, but decided that it would not
do to nominate a railroad re-
ceiver who was in favor of
rsilroad commission. IS this would be
called crushing the growler. -

A DAY SET APART.
A Call to Provide for the Relief of Our Be-
loved Presidents Family.

a Call to Provide for the Relief of Our Be-
loved Presidents Family.
We would call the people OF Fort
Worth attention to the fact that, by q
preconcerted arrangement inaugurated
by Governor Ross and other ex- Confeder-
ates in Texas, to-day, the Sd dav of
June, the same being Mr.. DAVIS birth
day, is set apart as day on which all
Texans are asked TO take stock in the
JEFF Davis land company, Tor the relief
of the family of our beloved president.
We hope that Fort Worth will sustain on
that day her proud record for patriotism
and liberality.
Let every Confederate IN Fort Worth
subscribe for at least one share of said
stock to-day, and thus demon
strate that we need have no fears when
we are compelled to "pass over the
river" The stock was made at $40
share, in order that each one might at
least be able TO take one share of the
same.
We should feel just pride in the mat
ter, for while the great leaders of the
North in that bloody and unhappy strug-
gle, have rich and powerful govern
ment to take care of and provide for
their loved ones when they are called
hence, our leaders must leave theirs to
the care and keeping of their comrades.
We feel that as long es virtue is re-
speoted and self-sacrifcing devotion to
principle Is loved and admired by peo-
pie, our loved ones are in safe hands.
For no bond is more enduring than that
of love.
The subscription papers will be left
to-day with Capt. NJ. B. Lloyd at
the First national bank; K. NJ. VanZendt
at the Fort Worth national bank, and E.
W. Taylor ut the Merchants national
bank, where everyone can subscribe for
such an amount OF stock Rs they desire
to take. This is an appeal to the affeo-
lions of our comrades, and no subscrip-
ton paper will be sent around. Respect
fully.

No Right to Ask.
New York Dramatic Mirror.


We believe that those actresses who,
yielding to the opportunities of the
newspaper syndicate enterprise, consent
to discuss the private relations of the pso-
pie of the stage, forget their duty and the
dignity of their calling. Tbs object of the
syndicate in seeking such statements is
merely to crafty an impertinent public
curiosity.
Articles from burlesque, comic opera
and ''society'' star notorieties, on the
virtue of actresses or the temptations of
the stage, are to be expected, since such
women seize every opportunity for seour-
ing free advertisement; but there is no
good reason why reputable members of
the profession should appear beside them
in print, discussing questions that are
not the business of the press or of the
reading public.
The recent remarks of Madame Mod
ieska, when approached by a syndicate
reporter with series of heterogeneous
respecting the moral atmosphere of the
stage, should be read and pondered.
''With the virtue OF actors and actress
whatever TO do. It is only with what
they do on the stage that we should con-
Germ ourselves. Their private lives
should be private. Where we should
look for a good example from them is on
the stage. A pure conception of the
part is what should be demanded. We
have no right to ask whether the actor
or actress is yirtuous. -

The Spring Palace Calamity.
A,.t;1 Ckafauuoa,


The people of all Texas JOIN in one uni
versal expression of sympathy with Fort
Worth in the loss of her idol, her Spring
Palace building. The people of that
city in embarking in such an enterprise
had shown a confidence in the future of
Fort Worth and of Texas that merited
the utmost limit of success. The Palace
was an artistic gem. OF unique design
it was an epitome of Texas products. It
was one of the best advertisements Texas
ever had, and its value to the state can
not easily be estimated. AS a state we
are under obligations to the pluck and
energy OF the people of Fort Worth.
A miraculous, providential intervene
ton prevented loss of life such as
might have been expected from the char
aoter of the building and its Ornamental
ton. That so few persons were manned
or killed is truly inexplieable, and one
lesson has been taught should Fort
Worth decide, undaunted by this catas-
trophe, to open another Palace in the
future; that is, that the building should
have only one story, and be honey
combed with exits. The pecuniary loss
by this FIRE was prodigous, over and
above any insurance. and it is certainly
to be hoped such returns at the gate dur
ing this season were reaped IS TO cut the
net loss to a smzll figure. The men who
shouldered the responsibility OF the sue
cess OF the Palace in this time Of their
embarrassment have the solioitous SYM
patty of the entire state.

THIS "didn 't-know-it-was-load ed"
business is becoming too common, and
there seems but one way to stop it. Let
1t be made a crime for one person to
point a loaded or unloaded weapon at an-
other, no matter what the Intention of
the person pointing the weapon may be.
This is rather radical remedy, but after
o few men have been made to pay for
their pIayfulness and their desire to scare
wife or friend, brother or sister, by
term in prison, there will be noticeable
decrease in the number of deaths from
the 'unloaded" gun or pistol.

Dallas and the Cook apostles located
their (anti-commission) headquarters at
the same place, presumably in separate
rooms.
1t Is very unfortunate for a disposition
ate canvass that so many leaders of the
opposition to the commission amendment
are prominent railroad attorneys, and il
the public mind does not become infismed
at the aggressive attitude of these rail-
road employees, it win be due more to the
forbearance and patriotism of the people
than to the discretion of men so closely
allied with the interest they declare to be
above regulation through commission.

says 1 have a greennbaok record, so he
was informed. address you personally
as an old time friend, and ask you to
correct report. 1 never, in thought,
word or deed, took stock or had the least
sympathy with the greenback heresy.
On the other hand / fought it with the
same earnestness 1 am now battling
against railway regulation by commits
sion. The first political speech 1 ever
made and campaign engaged in was in
Burnet county, several years ago. 1
supported Col. Seth Shepard against Col.

for congress. In proof Of which refer
you to H L. Bentley at Abilene, Tex,

cause you and as newspaper men differ

The editor of the Walla Walla Journal

over full soul on that subject in these
words and phrases:
The basest fraud on earth is agrIcul-
ture. The deadliest lgnis fatuus that
ever glittered to beguile and dazzle to
betray is agriculture. We speak with
feeling on this subject, and we've been
glittered and beguiled and dazzled and
deceived by the same arch deceiver. She
had promised US bees and they few away
after putting head on US; promised US
early potatoes, and the drouth has
withered them. She has promised cher
ries; the curculio has stung them; they
contain living things uncomely to the eye
and unsavory to the taste. She has
promised us strawberries, and the young
chickens have devoured them. We were
IN the sheep business and hard winter
closed down on us, and the lambs died in
the shell. No wonder that Cam killed

Special to the Gazette.
LAREDO, Tex. June 2.-This morning
at 10 o'clock, just as the dynamo at tho
electric street car line started up, a
horse driven to an ice wagon came in
contact with copper wire which had
been thrown over the current wire by
lineman of the electric works of the car
line. In an instant he was knocked
down by the current of electricity
and fell directly upon the wire.
The driver seized hold of the wlrs
to pull 1t from the PROSTATE horse when
he received a severe shock and dropped
it. The horse was dead in less than min.
ute. The instrument at the power house
registered at the time only 30
volts. This is the first accident tat has
ever happened IN the city from the effect
of electricity.

Haynes Heroism.

The heroism of the Englishman Hayne
who lost his life in ths Spring Palace
fire challenges the most profound adj
miration. He appears to have acted
purely from motives of philanthropy +,
and none but the nobiest, highest, in
centives could have prompted him to
throw himself into the very jaws of the
fiery demon whose red tongue had
reached, most in a second. to the roof
of the building. 1t must have been with
consciousness that he was himself facing
horrid death that he coolly and with
astonishing courage helped to save help
less women and children.

Political "horse sense'' should
prompt railroad attorneys to be less con-
spieuous in their opposition to the
commission amendment. Surely they
are entitled to their opinions, and no
man would deny them: but 1t should be
plain to the dulIest brain that when q
fight against commission regulation is led
and managed by men in the employ Of
railroads, it tends to inlame the public
mind and embitter the contest.

its destruction is the loss of Texas.

wonderful exposition of the history, the
