CREDIrABLE LEGISLATION.

The speaker next referred to the open
ing of Oklahoma md the admission of the
new states. He cited further as creditable
legislation of this congress, the measure to
relieve the stress on the supreme court; al
so the bankruptcy bill, the meat inspection
bill and the lard bill. Every bill present
ed by organized labor had been passed,
and state control over license had been pre-
served by action of the house after the
package decision. The mails had been
closed to lotteries. and before the end of
this congress the speaker expected pas
sage of the tonnage bill. Then Mr.. Reed
continued thus:
Every inch of our progress has been
contested 10y the opposition. Highway
robbery of time has been abolished; petty
larceny has not Only strong, vigorous
public sentiment pre- railing among all the
constituencies will ever do that. Bat in
closing what have had to say it would
not be lust to rest the claims of the house
upon even the catalogue of its great deeds.
What the house has shown the country
that any house can do is worth prince 5
ransom. Henceforth promise cannot be ex-
cused except by performance.
"Henceforth great measures cannot be
lost and nobody know what has come or
them Party responsibility has begun, and
with it also the responsibility of the, peo-
pie, for they can no longer elect demo-
cratic house and hope that the minority
will neutralize their action. or republl-
can house without beng sure that it will
keep its pledge. If We have broken the
precedence of another hundred years, no
bier than the last, wherein responsibility
will wait on power, and wherein the peo-
ole. with full knowledge that their servants
can act. will choose those who will worthily
carry out tbe'r will

Quarters at the Union Depot in
This City.

Yesterday there arrived in this city via
the Santa Fe railroad a carload Of sam
pie products of the Pecan Colorado
Concho country, in charge of Mr.. P. D.
Gay, banker and leading citizen of
Ballinger.
The samples will be at once unloaded
and placed in position on the west side of
the platform at the Union depot in the
small building formerly used by the
Union news company.
The Southwest Texas immigration as
ISOLATION, which is the originator of this
exhibit, have given substantial evidence
that they mean business and deserve en-
enlargement and aid from those In POSI-
ton to extend them. The collection of
sample products Of the agricultural,
mining, stock groWing and other inter-
ests and industries of Southwest
Texas Is elaborate and extensive, and
placed in so conspicuous place as in the
building mentioned is bound to attract
attention and benefit the section which
it is designed to advertise. A competent
man of artistic decorative taste, Mr..
Tilghman Graham of Fort Worth, who
lent much aid and gave many valuable
suggestions in the decorating of the
Spring Palace, has been secured to at
tend to the proper placing of the ex
hibits.
The immigration association has also
placed orders in Fort Worth for nearly
$1,000 worth of advertising to be worked
in connection with the exhibit.
The business-like method in which
this project has been worked up has Gre
ated some talk of more extensive en-
terprise of an immigration advertise
ment character, which includes other
parts of the state besides the southwest
ern parts, and steps will az once be
taken to put the movement on foot.

A CALL
For a Convention of Texans Interested in
Developing the Manufacturing and Mer-
camille interests of the State.

Fort WORTH CHAMBER OF COMMERcE)
SECRETARY OFFICE.
FoRT WORTH, TEX, Aug. Il, 1880.
A convention of delegates from trade
and manufacturing organizations, munio-
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 merchantable COM
modities must be patent to every mind
that has given the subject careful con-
siderstion. 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 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 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 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 IN the
convention.

sessing him of his wife just as he kills
the man whom he charges with robbing
him of his money or property. But
what of the woman right to attention
and fidelity and kind treatment, the
woman s pride mortified by husbands
infidelity and wicked courses, the wo-
man S suffering from neglect and IN
difference?
And whether wanton or craving the
attention and love promised and denied
by the husband) the toUe acts adriSedly,
There are few me n bold enough to invade
the privacy of home without invitation.
The wife has not the excuse of the maid
ems ignorance. With the wife Is no
weakness OF blind faith in man-to the
wife can be made no promises Of honor.
She acts advisedlY, and in nine cases out
of ten upon her Is the responsibility for
that for which the man is killed.
If offenses against the pride of man are
to be made the basis for exceptions to
the law against murder, then frame the
exceptions into the law that all may
read and understand alike.

ERA1LE IT INTO LAW

If there is any exception to the rule
"thou shalt not KILL" it should be
| framed into law.
From what power does a husband de-
rive authority TO kill man who is sus-
| pected or guilty of adultery with wife?
| man vote himself guiltless who violates
law and assumes to himself the preroga-
tive of judge and executioner2
If wife is guilty of adultery she is a
wanton-does the law against murder
except the slayer of the companion of
wanton? If wife is suspected of adul-
terry does the law against murder en-
power the husband to convict the wife
and brand her with shame by executing
personal vengeance upon the man sus-
pected of being her companion?
If the law against murder makes ex-
ceptions, then frame the exceptions into
law, that all may read the law alike and
that each may not construe the exoep-
tions for himself.
O06 man aSsuues lue rig Ut 10 stay an
other who has discharged him;
Another assumes the right to slay the
man who has robbed him st cards or in
speculation;
Another assumes the right to slay the
man who ISLANDERS him or his family;
Another assumes the right to sley the
man who steals the affections of his afi-
ance6 and marries her;
And SO on, through the long bloody
chapter of exceptions left open to the
construction of each man for himself.
In nine cases out of ten mans wife
is as he makes her. In nine cases out of
ten wife's wrong-doing results from a
husbands wrong-doing. Woman's ma
ture is essentially loyal, and disloyaIty
is the exception; in nine cases out of ten
q woman's disloyslty is the result of the
mans course and treatment. It is
mans pride, and not his virtue or love
that claims the right to murder. His
pride is in his possession, and ne kills
the man whom he charges with dispos-

TIE WEEKLY GAZETTE.

The constantly growing circulation of
the Weekly GAZETTE is evidence that the
effort to furnish first-class paper de-
voted TO the interests of the people is be-
ing appreciated.
The Weekly GAZETTE is a twelve-page
paper, containing a summary of the news
of the world for each week, and is filled
with choice literature and miscellaneous
reading matter, which must prove in
structive and entertaining to the young
as well as to the old.
The Agricultural Department, edited
by Professor STEELE, recently introduced,
commends the Weekly GAZETTE to all
Texas farmers and contains matter each
issue more than worth the price of the
paper.
AS an advertising medium the Weekly
GAZETTE is incomparably superior to any
published in the Southwest, and offers
unequalled facilities TO all who wish to
reach the people of Texas.

A DELEGATION of North Carolina
negroes, appointed by a colored state
convention visited the president the other
day bearing a budget of complaints
against the white Republican bosses of
the state who hogged everything worth
having, and gave the negroes nothing.
We read that the good DR.. Har rison
listened patiently to the statemen OF
their case, and then expressed hypo-
critical sorrow for their hapless political
fate, but declared that he could do moth
ing for them. He couldn't, eh? Who
has the distribution of the loaves and
fishes in that state, he or the man in the
moon? Has he not as much power to
give an office to a negro, as to white
Republican? What vapId and tiresome
humbug DR.. Harrison is.

THERE is law to encourage the plant
ing of trees, and the growth of forests
There is also another law, tariff law,
that gives a considerable premium for
the destruction of forests. This latter, is
for the sole benefit of the lumber kings
of Minnesota and Wisconsin. These two
regulations are squsrely contradictory
but what of that? Do they not illustrate
the genius of the Republican party in
legislsting so as to please, and hood
wink all sorts of people.

NEW OFFICES CREATED THIS SEES

NE " OFFICES CREATED THIS SEES
SION OF CONGRESS-.
The Plumb amendment to the tariff
bill adopted Tuesday, creating a customs
commission of five high salaried officials,
and making fat places for a few more
earnest patriots eager TO serve their
country, calls to mind the remarkable
Industry and activity of the present ses-
sion of congress in creating new offices.
AS shown by Congressman Dockery q
speech in the house September 2, the
total number of them is llGI at an
annual cost of 81 1856, 1888. These figures
are official and indisputable, and show,
as we said, that congress has not been
idle. Is it any wonder that Reed and his
band of treasury raiders desired to be
unhampered in the enactment of ''needed
leglslauon?" From this statement of
naked facts, this addition to the civil
service rolls of more than 100 salaried
officials, we learn some at least of the
controlling motives prompting the arbi-
trary and despotio government of the
house. Such has been the marvellous
activity of this, the first session of the
Fifty-irst congress. During the corre-
spending session of the Fiftieth congress,
when the Democrats controlled the
house, the number of offices created were
altogether 23O, at an annual cost of
$3.50, 767. If the Democrats had been
more patriotic and less concerned about
boarding and skimping, they too might
have made very credtable record in the
matter of scattering the surplus where it
would do the most good. But alasl
and new tangled brand of patriotism.

THE Hoosier Rep ublican state conven-
ton indorses the dead and condemned
Lodge bill, although the Republican
convention of Texas declined to notice
the fraud. 1t was only the other day
that the Hoosier governor had to sue the
state for his salary, and yet these miser-
able beggars would like to place their
hobnailed shoes on the necks of South
srners for no other reason than to graf

honest and pay their debts before de-

THE latest report of the agricultural
bureau shows q decline in the general
average condition of the cotton Drop,
owing TO an excess OF moisture and the
presence in places of the boil worm.
Dry weather in Central and Western
Texas has reduced the general average
to So. %, traction only below the aver
age of September year ago. The con-
dition of the corn crop is placed at 7O.I,
the lowest since 1881, and of wheat at
1875. 1t will be seen that of the three
great crops, cotton is by far the best,
coming well up to the general average of
good years, while wheat and corn, the
Staples of the West and Northwest, ar
both poor. AS there is no tariff on cot
ton, this discouraging fact will doubtless
puzzle Uncle Jerry Rusk nightly.

THE GAZETTE has done some very good

not do it all. If THE GAZETTE booms
"other Counties at intervals in its

either not large enough or enterprislng
enough to contribute more than one
half the advertising in THE GAZETTE.
This paper has been doing its share for
eight years in behalf of Fort Worth and

into the Golfers of THE GAZETTE all the
