nothing against the determination of
Reed and his cohorts TO force the Mo-
KInley measure through the house. The
edict has gone forth that it must become
& law, and law 1t will become unless
enough righteous legislators besides Nc
Kinley can be found in the Republican
sodom to prevent the iniquity of its en-
actment.
without intending It, Mr.. Butterworth
has done the cause of tariff reform and
the Democratic party a great service.
His Republican colleagues, recognizing
this fact, have already begun to charge
him with making the speech TO get even
with Mckinley, of whose increasing
strength with his party he is envious.
Be this as it may, Democrats will not
fail TO make good use of Mr.. Butter
worth S speech. 1t will be added to the
Democratic campaign literature and
scattered broadcast over the country.
The people will read it and 1t will be
fruitful of great and lasting results for
tariff reform, and will be used with tell
ing effect in the campaign Of 1892.

A NoN-FARIIsAN MOVEMENT.


:. WACO TEX. May ia movement
of much Importance has its inception in
this city, and its.purpQses are clearly set
forth in the following:
We, the undersigned, hereby agree to
form campaign club, to be known as
"the business club, of Waco" The
object of said organization ehall be to
cultivate more intimate relationsbetween
the business and all other Glasses; to dis
cuss proposed measures government,
as neighbors and friends and not
as partisans; to advance the cause
of good government ard the pros
perity and security of every citl-
zen by advocating such measures as will
tend 10 promote the advancement of our
state and to oppose with firmness all
measures that will .retard its develop
ment OF threaten the stability of invest
ments, and especially 10 oppose the
adoption of the proposed amendment to
the constitution authorizing railroad
commission, believing that. Such measure
is unwise, unnecessary and IN Art9rican.
We believe that every man has a fight to
manage his own property in his own
way, subject to the general law of the
land, and that an attempt to take from
the owners of railroad property this right
and to invest the control of their prop
erty in strangers, to be selected on &C
count Of their hostility to railroads, will
stop the wheels of progress in our state,
arrest development, unsettle business,
destroy values and tend to bring ruin
upon our people.
We pledge ourselves each to the other
to work for the defeat of said amend
ment, and call upon the business men of
the state to organize and unite with US in
accomplishing this object.

BUTTERWORTH'S SPEECH.

The monotonous flow of tariff talks in
congress was broken the other day by
Ben Buttsrworth of Ohio, who rose up
among his Republican brethren and,
amid applause from the Democratic
Side of the house, proceeded, 3 10
the establishment aud CONSERVATION
of Reed and his csucus-bound
cohorts, to show what miserable
thing OF "Bhreds and patches' Mir. Nc
RInley is endeavoriug to palm of on the
country as a tariff revision and tariff
reduction measure.
His speech, forceful in its logic and
pitiless in its dissection OF the Mckinley
fraud, fell like a lightning bolt from
clear sky. The discomgture of the Re-
publioans and the wrath of Reed can
better be imagined than described, as
they listened to Batterworth IS bold utter
ances, interrupted ever and anon by the
cheers of delighted Democrats.

The Village and Country Surrounding Popu-
lated by an EnterprIsing PsOpla-A Death.
Correspondence of the Gazette.
FLOYD, TEX, May I7.-Floyd is a nice little
village in the western edge Of Hunt county ON
the railroad running from Jefferson to McKin-
ney, and is in the center of one OF the finest sec
tions Of black lands there is in the state, and
the entire country for miles in every direction is
a solid farm, and more thrifty, self-reliant set
of farmers cannot be found in Texas or any
other country. We are having fine weather now
and the farmers are surely making use of it. All
are through planting cotton, and about all the
corn has been worked over since the rain, and
nice shower in o few days would be benefit
The small grain crop is short. But very little
wheat was planted, and the oats crop being
killed there was not more than half crop of il
planted over but it now looks well and bids fair
for fine yield. The fruit crop was thought to
be killed, but it is now thought that about half
crop still remains on the trees. The CITY is still
improving despite the last two crop years. The
citizens of Floyd and community are making
active preparations for the erection of a $1,000
school building, and the Masonic fraternity are
uniting with them and viii the
upper story of the building for hall purposes.
And our farmers are not the kind that sit around
and complain of the hard times and too much
rain, etc, but work with vim in their fields
when they can work, and when its too wet for
them to work there, they come with their teams
and scrapers and assist in grading up the
streets, building sidewalks, etc., and fix so
their children can get to school and their wives
to church; and we are also blowing up the
church and school yards and setting it in Ber-
muda grass and instead of vacant lots, school
grounds etc remaining burr patches, as they
have been, they will soon be coated over with
the beautiful green grass, which not only adds
much to the appearance Of the place, but lifts
us from the sticky mud and gives US a chance to
get around comfortably without dragging
around in the slusn. And instead of the chill
dren having to stay in doors at recess and play
time, they can get ont on tine grass and take
their exercises without having their feet loaded
down with mud.

TEXAS has long been in need of jour-
nal of the character and scope of the
Manufacturers Record of Baltimore,
and the monthly New Southwest started
by MIR. Green is just the publication
needed. The New Southwest is devoted
TO the manufacturing, mercantile and
immigration interests of the great South
west, of which Texas is so large part.
Mr.. Green has sold an interest in the
New Southwest to Mr.. W. S. Decker,
the live, enterprising Panhandle news
paper. man and boomer, to whom has
been intrusted the managing editorship,
while Mr.. Green will manage the busi-
ness end. This is strong combination.
Mr.. Decker is full of energy, and is q
firm believer in the future OF Texas. The
New Southwest will record the progress
of Texas in mine, factory and field, and
will be largely circulated in the North
and East, where it will do ths most good.
With Mr.. Decker at the editorial head,
the New Southwest will be q faithful,
vigilant reflex of Texas, and his work
will show in the growth of the state. e.

GOVERNMENT AS BUSINESS MANAGER

GOVERNMENT AS A BUSINESS MANAGER.
CD. News Editorial, May 16.
The formation of business clubs in
Texas, after the example of the one that
took the initiative at Waco some days
ago, is a movement that has not COM
menced too soon. Under the cIrcum@
stances It is as natural as it seems oppor-
tune. The more specific object of these
clubs is to oppose the commission amend
ment as q measure designed to invest the
control of railroad property in an arbi-
trary agency, hostile to she interests of its
owners, and as consequently calcu-
lated to retard the development of the
state by exciting alarm for the security
of investments. In the broadcast and
cleRrest business view, however, the
platform of these clubs most commends
itself to consideration in this brief utter
ance: eve believe that every man has
the right to manage his own property in
his own way, subject to the general law
OF the land.'' Here We have briefly
worded tenet in which may be condensed
the whole philosophy of business in its
proper relations TO government and
as to its proper uses for gov
eminent. The average man of bus
iness, after invoking, it may be,
all tue special providences of legis-
lative quaekery and trying the charms OF
every fetish of government paternalism,
must come back at last to the homely
common sense of the old French mer-
chant, who was asked By the minister Of
finance what he thought the government
could and should do IN the interest of
commerce. 'sLet us alone-leave US to
manage our own affairs, was all bis
answer. But there is spirit abroad.
affecting more or less men of all parties
and all classes, which abhors the idea OF
ia-goEernment comprehensive and strong
only for the protection OF citizens in their
rights OF property, Of person and of
industrial pursuit. 1t is spirit
that Graves with constantly sharpening
appetite for more and more government
interference with the business interests
and domestic affairs OF the people. For
those who are given up to the indictments
and fascinations OF this spirit such
measure as the transfer of the control
and management of railroad Investments
from private owners to plenary conn
