ANOTHER MARE,S NEST.

Some anonymous cable citiZen' prints
a screed III the D. C. News affirming the
proposition that the proposed railway
commission amendment will not amend
for the reason that it runs counter to ar
ticle of the constitution, which separ-
ates the powers of government into legis-
lative, executive and judicial depart
ments. The editor of our esteemed con-
temporary snatches at the bubble and
tries to make the most of it. The amend
ment els a farce, preposterous, tricky
and imperative, and so on. II Is very
strange that the editor who roars now so
valiautly over another's discovery had
not himself hit upon 1t long ago. Why
did not George Clark, or Bryan Barry,
or Judge Cook see the fatal defect in
time to use it to some purpose? How is
it that such an important and obvious
defect was hidden from those keen-eyed
gentlemen to be discovered by some OBJ
scure liable citizen' of anonymous
fame?
Truth is the discovery is fake pure and
simple. 1t is fraud and a humbug
that could not deceive a two hours old
calf. 1t is based on the silly supposition
that the amendment provides for a COM
mission clothed with legislative, execu-
tive and judicial powers, when not even
the word commission appears in the
amendment, nor any other form of ex-
preston for that idea. President Light
foot of the Texas bar association in the
paper read before the association at
Galveston some two weeks ago showed
concluslvely from supreme court de-
cisions that the action of railway COM
mission is subject to the jurisdiction Of
the courts. The proposed amendment
does not create commission. 1t merely
authorizes the legislature to adopt such
means as 1t may deem advisable "to
prevent abuses and discrimlnatious' by
the railroads. That and nothing more.
The News should stick to "paternal-
ism'' in fighting the commission. It Is
fake also, but capable of much more
sound and fury than the mare g nest last
uncovered.

SEVERE STORM
A Wall is Blown Over, Killing four People,
Fatally iniuring Three-0thers seri-
ously Hurt.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Aug. 22.-Dur-
ing a heavy storm which prevailed in
this vicinity about 7 o'clock yesterday
afternoon. the southern wall OF stable
and car shed. occupying the square
bounded by Twelfth and Sixteenth
streets and Tenth and Eleventh street,
of the passenger railway compauv's, was
blown down carrying a portion of the
roof with it aud smashing q number OF
cars. Four persons were killed outright,
three more so dangerously injured TINT
they are not expected to recover. Three
others were more or less seriously In
jured and one is missing, probably dead.
The following were killed: August
Paul, driver; Mrs. August Paul, his
wife; Charles Severn, conductor; Charles
Fisher, driver.
Injured: Henry Jaooby, conductor,
scalp wound; Charles Brown, aged nine
teen years. passenger, both arms and legs
broken; James ]. Martin. driver, back
crushed and hurt internally; Henry
Trodwetter, stablemau, was struck by
flying debris; son of August Paul, arm
broken and injured internally; an IN
known boy struck by tlmbers.
OF the injured, Jacoby, Martin and
Brown are so badly hurt that their re-
coyery is considered very doubtful.
John s. Christie, aged eighteen years,
horse changer, is believed to have been
killed. The storm which caused this
disaster began about 6:45 CLOCK in the
evening. Thunder and lightning was
very severe and rain fell in torrents.

MR. MILLS ON RECIPROCITY.
Mr.. Blaine All Right, Only he Don't Go Far

Mr.. Blaine All Right, Only he Don't Go Far
Enough.
Pittsburg Dispatch.
Congressman Roger Q. Mills was one
of the many passengers on the Eastern
express last evening. He Is generally
affable to newspaper men, but some
times has cranky spell. Last evening
he was good natured, and talked freely.
Mr.. Mills is for Cleveland for presi-
dent, as he has always been, and he
thinks Governor Campbell of Ohio, is a
rising young man, and would make q
good vice. president. He prefers him to
Boies, the Iowa man, who was Endorsed
by the state Democrats for the position.
Mr.. Mills thinks the ticket will be Cleve-
land aud Campbell, and that they will be
elected on free trade platform. On
his favorite theme Mr.. Mills said:
eyes, see that Mr.. Blaine il coming
around to our way of thinking; but he
doesn't go far enough. Reciprocity with
South America is all right, but what we
need is free trade with Europe. Our
trade with South America is not more
than $40. 900 200 per year, while with
Europe it would be $500 ZOO, 900. But
the American workinRmen are reading
and thinking for themselves. The me-
chauics in New England realize they
made o mistake as they voted, and they
now favor the admission of raw material
free, and why not? Silks and linens,
for example, and articles of that kind
that we can't manufacture here, should
be imported free of all duty. The Ameri-
can people are taxed beyond all reason,
and the farmers in particular are the
sufferers. is there any wonder that they
are organizing aud complaining all over
the country? If we had free trade with
England we could sell many of our
agricultural i'm IMPLEMENTS in that country.
Even il English wages are lower than the
American, we can still make these I'm
plements for less than they can, and the
farmers would have an opportunity to
get rid of their products at good profit
and 90 into the markets of the world and
buy what they need without being taxed
heavily for 1t. The time Is near at hand
when free trade Is bound to prevail in
this country, and the next election will
show that the people believe in this doc
trine.

MAYOR SMITH has vetoed the resolu-
tion granting permission to run a variety
theater corner Second and Main streets.
In this Mayor Smith has acted for the
best interests of the city. 1t certainly
cannot ravorably impress men seeking
homes and investments TO see variety
theaters scattered all over the town.
Fort Worth is not variety theater CEN
ter, and should not be made so by the
city council. The women and children
of the city should not be driven entirely
from the use OF the streets, and some
thoroughfares should be reserved for
other business that. that of variety thea
ters. The variety theater may have Its
place in the economy of city life, but
surely the principal streets of the city
should not~ devoted to such amuse-
ments.

VIII be Well Represented.

Col. A. NJ. Carter of Fort Worth, wa -
yesterday nominated for state senator
from the district composed of Tarrant,
Wise, Jack and Parker counties. Col.
Carter lie an able man, and with Swayne
in the lower house, Fort Worth will be
well represented in the legislature. What
Is Dallas doing in this direction? Dallas
county should send its best men to the
next legislature. Several months ago
the Times Herald proposed that the
Democracy OF Dallas county nominate
Col. John Bookhout as one of the two
mem beers from Dallas county; that they
accept no refusal, but nominate him by
reclamation III such way he could not
refuse. The suggestion has met most
hearty response from the people, and to-
day John Bookhout is looked to Us one of
the men to represent this county in the
next legislature. He possesses the abIl-
ity, the confidence OF the people, fidelity
TO the interests OF the people, and Is in
every way marked as the man who will
fill the bill and the man whom the people
of the city and many from the country
want. With a strong man from the
country like Jas. Rowland or II. H.
Smith. Dallas would be ably and faith
fully represented in the next legislature.
The Times Herald trusts that neither of
the gentlemen will refuse to allow his
name used, and that Bookhout and one
of the other two will be nominated.

obstiracy OF the opponents of Mr.. Cars
well in keeping Mr.. Stephens before the
convention. when they plainly saw he
had no hope of securing nomination,
and Mr.. Carswell lacked less than one
vote of having the requisite two-thirds
majority. Jack county could have
changed the result, but she, in the face
of the fact that Wise county has time
and again helped her elect her men,
voted soldly against Mr.. Carswell.
Tarrant, with the exception OF one man,
stood solidly with Wise county until Mr..
Carswell's name was withdrawn, and
then she placed Hon. A. NJ. Carter be-
fore the convention, and with the help
of Wise county secured him the nomina-
ton. Tarrant county has the thanks of
Wise for her loyalty TO our candidate,
ana for Jack county there Is laid up q
score of reckoning that in the years to
come will be amply repaid.

CROCKETT, Tex. Aug. 20, 1890.
To the Gazette.
VIII THE GAZETTE kindly state that
while 1 am grateful to be found worthy
of public trust by any portion of my fell
low citizens I must respectfully decline
to become a candidate for county attor-
ney of Tarrant county or other official
position. Ihave so stated in reply TO a
number of communications received
urging the use of my name for various
positions on the ticket nominated last
Saturday. I do not underestimate the
importance of the office. Tarrant county
being separate judicial district, to be
county attorney OF the county Is TO be
district attorney Of the Seventeenth ju-
dical district, a fact overlooked by some
In other portions Of the state. The po-
sition is therefore both honorable and
lucrative. Even were disposed TO be-
come o candidate would be prevented
by physical impediment from doing JUS
tice either TO my friends or myself.
Respectfully, l.. N. COOPER.

THE decision of the Farmers Alliance
in session at Dallas to make no formal
Endorsement of the sub-treasury bill such
as would commit the Alliance TO 1t as q
campaign issue is very wise and sensible.
The posrponement of definite action for
acquaintance with the provisions of the
bill, and for fuller discussion OF them
in all their bearings. There is already
wisdom of it, and we are sure that, when
fully informed about it, there will be
very few farmers that would touch it
with forty foot pole.

THE New York Mail and Express has
tie following with reference to q GENTLE
man who has large interests in Fort
Worth, and corroborates THE GAZETTE g
Denver special of some weeks ago:
There is q rumor abroad here in the East shat
the next governor of Colorado will be the Hon
H. B. Chamberlain of Denver. Mr.. Chamber
lain is pretty certain to get the gubernatorial
nomination at the coming Republican state con-
yention, and the Republican nomination in Col
orado is equivalent to election. The party in
Colorado could not select better or more rep
resentative man. Mr.. Chamberlain is one of
the largest real estate owners in the state, and
is prominently identified with many important
commercial and business enterprises. More
than all. he is man of spotless character and
broad intelligence, aud thoroughly in sympathy
with the best and highest interests OF the
people. THE Centennial state will honor itself
by electing such man to office.

THRIFT, THRIFT, HoRAT1o

Indian Commissioner Morgan is, not
excepting John Wanamaker himself, or
the president even, the most pious and
godly man connected with our Sunday
school administration. But good and
holy as this sanity Christian gentleman
ia he cannot escape calumny. 1t is now
alleged against him that he made his
wife his private secretary at salary of
$500 per year, and what Is worse yet,
charges her travelling expenses when
ever she goes to Uncle Sam. Whether
this godly gentlem an has provided for
any others of his relatives We are not
informed. But, il he has, we see no
good reason for placing him In the Dill
Tory of public contempt when we remem-
Der that DR.. Harrison has fixed all his
kith and kin in good warm berths, and
Pension Conn issioner Raum is operat-
ing the pension mill largely in the inter-
est of himself and sons, aud his friends.
The policy of this administration is to
look out for number one, to make hay
while the sun shines. Harrison is doing
it; Wanamaker is dong it; Raum ditto,
and so on down from the highest TO the
lowest. The patriot having an oppor-
tunity, that does not "make his Jack'

WOMAN SUFFRAGE IN MISSISSIPPI.

WOMAN SUFFRAGE IN MISSISSIPPI.
Woman suffrage as q remedy for, or q
solution of the franchise question In Mis-
sissippi, is something new under the sun
or ut least has that appearances. The
question of woman suffrage, or polltica,
equality between the sexes, is not IN
itself new by any means, but the sugges-
ton of it as key to the knotty and vex-
atious problem of the franchise in a stare
threatened by negro domination, is
novel, though perhaps not surprising.
The proposition has been sprung upon
the constitutional convention now In ses-
SION in Mississippi, and appears to meet
with favor. The principal and obvious
feature of it Is, an educational and prop
erty qualification. The object in view,
of course, Is to enfranchise the greatest
number of white women, and the fewest
number of black women possible. The
proposition was referred TO the commit
tee on franchise for further considers
ton.
II Is an experiment, of course, that
may or may not aid in extricating
the white minority in that state from the
awkward and troublesome situation in
which they End themselves. II It should
fail, they would be in worse box still,
owing to the almost insuperable difficulty
of getting rid OF constitutional amend

AS THE patriots about Washington are
lining their pockets well with the spoils
of the pension Office, it IL perhaps all
right for Secretary Noble to give the
starving brethren in Oklahoma chance
to get up to the public crib. While the
footing is going on, let the needy have q
share of it. With good pension the
Oklahoma farmer can snap his fingers at
fortune. Crops or no crops he is happy
all the same. thanks to his fidelity to the
flag and an appropriation.

Fall River Mills.

FALL RIVER, MASS, Aug. 22.-Al-
though the mills have been running only
four days. and several are now shut
down, it is agreed that the sixty hours
curtailment has only been an aggrava-
ton to the market, and that print cloth
manufacturing cannot be continued long
on existing conditions. Some OF the mill
men argue that help should now share in
tha hard struggle, and cut down of
wages is talked of. The Progressive
weavers' association last night Endorsed
the efforts of manufacturers to curtail
production, and suggested another
week g stoppage.

Nails Him to the Masthead.

The Constitution nails the senatorial
nominee to its political masthead, and
indorses A. NJ. Carter as good material
and a prospective senator of great power
and usefulness. He is made of the stern
est metal, AID his position on the leading
Democratic issues in Texas is squarely
up to the standard set by the state con-
vention. 1t is nevertheless one OF the
reserved rights of losers to accuse the
winners, ana while Mr.. Carter is entirely
acceptable as the nominee, the sweet
pleasure of denouncing the methods OF
the ward politicians in Fort Worth is o
privilege if not duty.

A convention of delegates from trade
ana manufacturing organizations, munic-
qualities and people interested In devel-
oping the manufacturing and mercantile
interests of Texas has been called to
meet in Fort Worth on September 81,
1890, for the purpose of devisiug 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 aud 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 willingness 30 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 Il the

A new American Line of Steamers from
Liverpool

Liverpool Post, August 5.
A new line of steamers will be founded
this month under the title of "The Texas
Line OF Steamers, - the first sailing OF

trade with Texas, New Mexico and Ari-
IONA, aud to foster the increasing BUSH
ness via Galveston to the republic of
Mexico. The trade with Mexico has
lately been very largely developed by
the settled government existing in that
republic, owing to the wise and en-
lighted policy of the president and his
administration. All classes of goods
will be taken on through bills Of lading to
all points in Mexico OIL low through rates,
and by the quickest routes, as this line of
steamers will be worked in conjunction
with the several Texan and Mexican
railroads. After dIscharging at Calves
ton, the respective steamers will be
loaded with cotton for Liverpool and
ports on the continent of Europe.
The second sailing of the Texan line of
steamers will take place on the LIST of
September, and the sailings will be kept
up at regular Intervals by the following
vessels, which will form the fleet:
Alfalfa, 2429 tons; AMETHYST, 1857 tons;
