GROVER CLEVELAND never speaks
without saying something. he is
Democrat. but when he talks all good
men Of every party give their attention
and approval There is no disputing the
terse and homely truths Of his speeches
and letters. The only comment the
organs Of the industry of protection can
make is that Cleveland utters platitudes.
Being asked what effect reform in the
tariff would have. Cleveland said:
Honest government would profit by Il,
and 80 would every worthy cause which
depends upon honest and not upon cor
rupt methods for success The franchise
is not debauched in the interest Of good
laws and honest government 1t is by
those who have special interest to subserve
at the peoples expense and not by those
whose interests are in common with the
masses that the ballot is corrupted.

The revolutionary methods of parlia-

Reed are the immediate cause of the
trouble. The attempt to conduct impor-

government of the legislative body is
something new and untried in our ma

PHILADELPHIA. Monday. Feb. 3, 1890
The distinction which we
are trying to emphasize be-
tween Oriental Silks and the
common limitations is having
effect. If Philadelphians are
deceived this season it will
probably be their own fault.
But care is needed. The real
and imitation are often mixed
in the same lines, and unless
you are watchful you may
draw a blank. Other houses
than ours have the genuine
goods and sell them with per-
feet honesty-but not all.
Some days since we told you
that our first lot of Chinese
and India Silks were ready; to-
day some thirty-odd more
styles make the assortment
more complete, and still more
are coming. Prices rs cents
to SAYS. Also plain colored
Shanghai Silks in the shades of
the period. 81. FL inches
wide.
Silks of another needed sort.

More than thirty shades made
to our special order, and care
fully selected; III and % inches,
$3.50. There is something
special about this lot, and the
color 50 special that you cannot
find them otherwheres than
here.

TEXAS MILLS AND FACTORIES.

A saw and plauiug mill is being erected
at Lodi, Marion county.
The Constitution says that Weather,
ford will organize a 500, 900 cotton mill
company this fall and winter.
Nearly all the machinery and material
for the csr-wheel factory OF the Lone
Star iron company at Jefferson arrived
last week, and work is now going ahead
rapidly. The whole business will be In
full operation in a very short time.
The mill question, says the Seymour
Sun, must not be lost sight Of during all
this excitement over the arrival of the
railroad, the $40 200 college and other
enterprises, but must be acted on before
another harvest rolls around. That
would be q big feather in our cap, II we
could secure a good mill and elevator.
Let the board of trade, atits next meet
ing, discuss the mill question.
SAN ANGELO, Sept. %. -Four gins

More Trouble Looked For.

The Kansas City Times says: "As the
first of October draws near there are
several dark clouds gathering above the
railroad world that bid fair to develop
into a good-sized freight rate cyclone by
the time the new agreement goes into
effect. 1t is openly charged IN railroad
circles that several lines are engaged in
an indiscriminate cutting of rates be-
tween this city and St. Louis as well as
to the West.
1.-The Burlington is said to be leading
in the work, while the Santa Fe is good
second. Among the principal articles
that the cut Is made on are sewer and
drain pipes, large quantities of which are
beng shipped to Salt Lake CITY and Og-
den. The claim has been made that I'M
der the new agreement, which goes into
effect ctober l, Utah points are LETT
out-in fact, that the Mormon territory
will be an open battle ground, ana the
roads mentioned are evidently taking
time by The forelock and getting what
they can before the matter is brought to
test.

Trouble ON the Iackey Lines.


TERRE HAUTE, IND. Sept. 25.-Some
time ago federation was formed by

ton to make q demand for increased paw
and give the company five days to con-
slider it, but yesterday, learning that
Sears had been discharged, the men de-
cided to strike at once. A demand was
made on the company for his reins tate
ment and for an increase of pay, about
Is per cent. The company's officers re-
piled that the matter would have 10 De

NEW YORK, Sept. 25.-In its issue this
week the Engineering News Will publish
n map and statistics showing the progress
and prospects of railway construction IN
the states of Missouri, Kansas, Texas,
Arkansas, Louisiana and the Indian Ter
ritory. Statistics show in these states
524 miles of track laid since January l,
l4O7 miles under construction, 26O6 miles
under survey and 503l projected, with
fair prospects of construction. These
figures show considerable increase over
those covering the same period of 1889.
one of the most noticeable features of
the statistics is the large amount of work
being done independent of large COM
panies.
