statements No doubt it tickled the
audience which listened to him. But
reading calmly the report of it we can
not see that he contributed anything to
the solution Of the problem which he
began by declaring insoluble.
The Caucasian race is masterful, dom
iuant and jealous Of the purity Of its
blood 1t has the brains and the cOur-
age to rule, and it will not tolerate the
rule nor admit the mixture OF other
races. The negro race is mild. submis-
siye. clannlsh. gregari0us, gathering by

elements of the problem. IL differs in
nothing. except, perhaps, in concise
ness and p0sitivcness Of statement. from
that made hundred times by Southern

The tenth annual meeting Of the Ma

this body has not very much in the
way of practical results TO show for
its ten years Of work. 1t does report.
and doubtless truthfully, very great
increase Of public interest in the sub
iect, but of this interest the league it,
self is much more a consequence than
a cause. The subject is the most im-
p0rtant of many subjects upon which
uniformity Of legislation is urgent
ly desirable, and cannot be had be-
cause they are subjects prohibited
to the National Legislature, and
also to any concerted action by the Leg
islatures of the States. The diversity
that has had such evil consequences
can scarcely be due to a diversity of
local opinion, and it might be possible
for a body of sufficient authority to TO-
commend q law that would be adopted
in many States and finally perhaps in
all. If all the Protestant churches
were to unite upon such a project of

enactment would be very good. The

are Its intentions, hardly carries weight
enough for this purpose.

IT NIGHT HAVE BEEN.

One of the strangest things in Fort Worth's
history. which, by the way, is full Of bri liant
achievements, is its failure to build the Albu-
querque railroad. II is the key that would I'M
lock to her vast stores Of wealth, With would
be ever increasing. ever enlarging, as the de-
velopment OF the magnificent country through
which it would run progressed And yet she
sits supinely il not blindly and lets the oppor-

distant day, she must mournfully chant those
''saddest words of tongue or pen, 1T might
have been. might have been mistress OF this
grand, beautiful and rich territory, realm ht
for any queen. VIII she arouse and claim her
own or will she forfeit her title to valor and
bravery and let tn us1rper wrest frou her her

Many causes have combined to prevent
the building of the Fort Worth and Albu-
querque but the principal cause is man .
selhshness. Too many people have
wanted TO build it and too many have
not wanted 1t built.
Five great railroads look with disfaVor
on another road TO the Northwest, ana
the selfish interest of these roads ha'
found direct or indirect method to pre-
vent. On the other hand, too many
have wanted to build the road, and men
protesting to be for Fort Worth have
stood in the way of Fort Worth and thus,
practically, have been enemies of Fort
Worth.
Unless Fort Worth can arouse itself to
act for itself, to trust none who are not
for Fort Worth first, last aud all the
time, aud to turn deaf ear to all who
oppose openly or covertly, the public an
nouncement should be made that no

any other station on their lines, and
come of which have great deal less in

A CALL
For Convention OF Texans Interested in
Developing the Manufacturing and Mer-
camille interests Of the state.

SECRETARY OFFICE.
FoET WORTH, Tex, Aug. q, 1880. }
A convention of delegates from trade
ana manufacturing organizations, muaic-
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 merchautsble 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 20 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 aud others who attend. As
the time is short we respectfully urge
immediate action aud 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.

THEY KNOW WHAT TITS.

Perhaps the reason why the Missouri,
Kansas and Texas railroad people "do
not view with any apparent concern, " the
adoption of railroad commission in this
state, Will be found in the circumstance
that both the receivers of that road, Mr..
Cross and Mr.. Eddye, reside in Kansas,
whers railroad commission has existed
since 1879, and where more miles OF rail-
road have been built than in any other
state in the Union, in the last Ave years.
Unlike our Texas slarmists, those gen.
tlemen do not look upon a railroad COM
mission as horrid ogre or Internal gor-
gon. They know what 1t Is, and could
give some of their fool friends few val
liable pointers about it if it we're thought
worth while.

WOMAN SUFFRAGE IN MISSLS-

The professional woman suffrsgists
who have sought for years in vain to
gain recognition, and secure desired leg
islation from Northern or Western states,
should turn their attention to Mississippi
where the prospects for political equal
ity are far more fattering than in any
northern state. The franchise commit
tee of the state constitutional convention
has reported III favor of woman suffrage,
and the prospect of its adoption by the
convention is said to be excellent.
Doubtless Susan B. Anthony and her CO.
adjutors will be greatly surprised at find
ing that woman suffrage should spring
up spontaneously, and attain to the full
ness and ripeness of maturity in a few
weeks, in q section of the country into
which they had never gone, or sowed the
seeds of their peculiar doctrine. But
curious and surprising as it may seem
such a cousummation appears to be quite

TARIFF LOGIC.

Here is glor ious and a fair sample OF
tariff logic. When Senator Mcpherson
argued the other day in favor of remov-
ing the tariff on salt, Senator Blair, tie
bowling fakir from New Hampshire pro-
tested, and said that "uuder the opera
ton OF the tariff the price of salt had
been reduced to one twenty-fifth of what
it was in Bentou's time," and that
therefore the tariff should be continued
on it. And this plous old fraud wants
us TO swallow such rot a. that, when we
all know that if the tariff reduced the
price of salt one twenty fifth, instead of
twenty four twenty-fifths as he says. he
and every salt maker in America would
be bowling to put salt on the free list.
But as long as there are go many guilt
BILE patriots in the county Blair can well
afford to play the hypocrite and i'm
