oLARKSoN, S CRY OF EEAR.


Democrats ought to be well pleased
! with Headsman Clarkson's speech at
the Americas club banque. in Pittsburg.
| 1t is refreshing reading and word of en-
| enlargement from an unexpected quar-
| ter. 1t is also an admission, coming
practically from the White House. that
Republican supremacy is in peril, and
that the Republican leaders, like the
coon up the tree, are badly scared.
Clarkson who is keen and close OBJ
server, has been reading the signs OF the
times with view to forecasting the fut-
ure. He has discovered that which fills
him with alarm, and his Pittsburg speech
is nothing more or less than cry of fear,
raised in the midst of the reveling and
rejoicing of those too blind to see, read
or interpret, the handwriting on the
wall. He has discovered an impending
danger, threatening Republican success
and imperiling Republican supremacy,
and he has sounded this note of warning
in the hope that the danger may yet be
averted.
The discovery which Clarkson has
made is that the Democratic party has
"in a marvellous manner, been strength
ening its lines in the newspaper or the
magazine - that whereas the Demo-
cratic party did not formerly "care as
much as the Republican party for the
newspaper and the magazine" It has
latterly beaten the Republican party at
its own game. That "in the large cities
of the East they have captured nearly
all the magazines aud illustrated pa
pers.'' That "the reinforced Demo-
cratic press is startling thing for the
Republican party to face That "a in
New York city l, 400 900 aopies of daily
newspapers are printed daily Less than
200, 200 of them are Republican. - That
Gin Boston the papers of greatest circu-
lation are also Democratic. - That "the
same is true OF nearly every large city in
the country. - That Democracy has
also pressed its oonauests to the agricul-
tural press, and in the last three or four
years many of the farmers papers in the
West have become advocates Of free
trade" And, finally, that it is time
for the Republican party ''to take notice
OF what the opposition party Is doing by
increasing and Strengthening its press. -
These are gratifying admissions to
come from one who, in common with the
orators and editors of bis party, has been
given to repeating the shelf-worn stock
in-trade assert ton that the Democratic
party is the party of ignorance and iIlit-
erscy, and that as soon as its members
began reading they would cease to be
Democrats.
Mr.. Clarkson's figures show conclu-
siVely that the Democrat is the man who
reads. and that if ignorance and preju-
dice h ave an abiding place anywhere It is
in the Republican party, and among
those members OF IT who are so narrow
minded, aud bigoted as to depend for
knowledge and information concerning
great public questions upon an enslaved
partisan press.
His speech Is confession that RepubII-

THE SPRING PALACE.

San Antonio Times: Fort Worth will
soon be flooded with interested visitors
from all sections of the South, West and
North, to behold the wonders of the
Spring Palace. Fort Worth is q bright
and progressive city, aud San Antonio
sends her word, through the Times, that
this portion of imperial Texas will do its
quota in assisting to swell the crowds and
MAINTAIN the interest that is to come.
There are many things to be gained
for Texas through the Spring Palace ex-
hibit, and a number of lessons to be
learned by residents of the state. The
beautiful, artistic and ingenious arrange
ment of the 'ffruits of the soil, the
orchard the garden, the farm, the for
est, the mines, the streams, - to bor-
row from the "What Is It's circular now
being dist ributed, will gain for Texas
better name than she has before known.
The lesson that the Spring Palace is to
teach will be that of prompting other
cities in the Southwest to- go and do like
wise.'
Fort Worth IS enterprising citizens de-
serve no little praise foFStheir cO-opers-
ton and intelligent methods. They are
also entitled to success Of the most pro-
nounced character, and they are already
assured of that. The papers of Fort
Worth will noe be allowed to mOnopolize
the work of informing the outside world
of the grand exhibits, for other state pa
pers will make extraordinary efforts to
share the privilege and honor. Every
daily in the state should send at least
one representative there to herald to its
readers full accounts OF the big Spring
Palace, and then every reader of the pa
per should send his copy to an Eastern or
Northern friend or acquaintance. By
this means vast good can be accomplished.
In assisting Fort Worth to make an IN
qualified success of her annual display of
all there is in Texas, San Antonio and
the Times will do so without any further
hope OF reward than the mere expecta-
ton OF pushing this state and her wonder
full advantages further to the front.
That which helps Fort Worth viii help
Dallas, Galveston, San Antonio and
other cities, and. in thus cooperating
with each other Texas as q whole wiz
receive new impetus which must event.
ually result in unbounded advantage.
The railroads should not be forgotten
for their liberality. They have willingly
reduced the round trip to one fare
omethiag that is not usually conceded.
One and one-ffth are the ordinary fig-
ures, but during the Spriug Palace sea-
son they have done all that could be
reasonably expected Of Sem.
There Is every prospect that Fort
Worth will be able TO handle the great
crowds with perfect order, fact that
will be more than appreciated by Wis
itors,

cans who have been reading the truth
concerning the tariff and the other great
issues Of the hour, are turning Demo-
Gratis, and that the only way to prevent
the disintegration of the Republican par
ty is to keep Democratic reading out of
the bands Of Republicans.
Headsman Clarkson has sounded his
cry of alarm too late. The last cam
paign was an intellectual and an educa-
tive one, and the coming campaign will,
as Clarkson says, ''be fought in the
arena OF discussion and in the newspaper
press. - Il "will be largely q newspa-
per campaign, and it has already
begun
With the great papers of the country
in their Democratic control, advocating
with zeal, earnestness and ability the
cause of truth, right and justice, such
Republicans as Clarkson may well feel
concerned for the future, and may we'll
feel doubtful about the outcome of the
approaching campaign. Democrats, on
the other hand. are facing that future
with hope, for they see in the alarm of
the Republicans an indication that in
1892, the party that has the press of the
country back Of it will win, and that the
verdict Of an informed people will be
against tariff robbery and the further
plundering of the tax payers of the land
in the name of law.

NO SOLUTION REACHED.

To the mind of the Northern philan-
thropist there was no idea attaching to
the enslavement of the negro more re-
pugnsnt than that they were regarde
in slaveholding states as chattel to be
bought and sold, moved at will, all
family and other ties discovered without
a thought Of wish. Unstinted eloquence
OF the most fiery type was poured out
against these wrongs until Its torrents
rushed with such mighty force that the
letters of slavery were removed, and the
| negro became q man endowed with ali
the rights of citizenship. Now by
philanthropist who revives the chatter
idea. By deportation he would sum-
marily settle the race question, without
any lntimation from the negro, as a
race, that such a radical move is desired
by them. This thought nowhere ap-
pears in any of the arguments urged by
Stanley and others, or in the plans
that, if carried out, would take the
negro, accustomed as he Is to all the
luxuries attendant upon high degree
OF civilization, and plant him in the
explored may be well adapted to the
wants of the negro, and may,
as he SAYS, remind him of
the cotton and rice plantations
where he has been reared, but has it
been shown thar the negro since his
emancipation has manifested any partio-
ular fondness for plantation life? Does
he not prefer the town, although to live
In 1t subjects him to dependence upon the
white man and places his family in sur
roundings that engender disease and are
causing mortality among them that is
attracting the attention of the intelligent
men of his own race? Then do these
theorists ignore the fact that the negro
has ties common to all menu His patriotism
may not yet be strongly defined, but
love of locality love of ease, delight In
the beauty that accompanies culture, he

manifested a spirit Of hardihood that is
essential to the pioneer. The men who
peopled New Eugland's rocky shores,
who penetrated. untrodden forests and
drove before them aboriginal tribes were /
made of sterner stuff than is the esse-
loving negro. {. Colonization !, that Is
wanting in an animus which persecution
Or pursuitot wealth fails to nourish, is of
feeble growth. and when finally dissev-
cred from its sources of nutrition
dies. The wilds of Africa that Stanley
depicts as rich IN all that is necessary to
support life, may yet be peopled. but
when the time arrives It will not be by
people sent out and fostered by senti-
mentalism, but by those having within
them the elements to sustain independent
existence, to brave danger and endure
privation, that in days to come their
posterity may enjoy the independence
they have so hardly won and do so
thoroughly appreciate.

Benton, young married man living
about six miles west of Louisville, was
shot and instantly killed about 8 o'clock
last night, near his home, by one
G. w. Tuck. Your reporter could
learn nothing about the cause
OF the killing. Rumor says they
had been to Denton and had some words
at Hickory creek and that Tuck whipped
on ahead and went home, which ia near
where Benton lives, got his revolver,
went back, met Benton, who was in a
buggy with DR.. Hlet, and killed him as
above stated. Benton came from Ten
nessee and had been III Texas Two or
three years. He leaves q wife and two
small children. Report says Benton was
"a good, industrious man. But little is
known of Tuck, only that he has had
several difficulties before. He Is at

DENTON, TEX, May 6.-Thomas Ben
ton, who resided twelve miles south of
this place, was shot and killed yester-
day evening by G. W. Tuck. who lives
in the same neighborhood. Both parties
had been at Denton during the day and
were under the influence of liquor, end
on their way home, in company with
others, got into a difficulty which was.
as it was supposed, amicably settled and
forgotten but after the party had passed
Tuck's house and Tuck had stopped
and left his horse, it seems that Benton
and another one OF the party, who was
drinking, got into difficulty, and while
the difficulty was in progress Tuck came
up with pistol and taking part in the
broil, shot Benton in the heart, killing
him instantly. Benton was about twen-
ty-four years old and had wife and two
children, whom he leaves in destitute
circumstances. Tuck is about forty
years old, aud also has a family. He
did not leave the scene Immediately, but
stayed around part of the night, but
would not be arrested by the citizens
present. Ofacers left here this morning
for the purpose of apprehending him If
possible.

1t is not TO the credit of Fort Worth
that thirty-two votes should have been
cast for Dallas at the Bowie Immigration
convention against thirty for this
city. The vote should have Deen unanl-
nous, or nearly SO. Had action been
prompter on the part of Fort Worth; had
the present board of trade organization
been formed month ago to work for
our city's welfare, there would have
been no Bowie convention, because the
Northwestern counties would have been
offered such inducements as 10 lead them
to select Fort Worth as their headquar-
tiers without considering any other city's
offers. We do not claim the Northwest
as ours by right. We do claim that there
is such an affinity OF interest between
Fort Worth and the Western and North
western counties that they can be better
served by having their headquarters in
this city than at any other point. That
is all. A majority of the delegates to
the Bowie convention took the same view
of the case, aud that is why Fort Worth
was selected. Our natural advantages

If it was proper and for the best interests

nearest large railroad center, should be
selected as the place. We do not believe

is practicable, and that each county will
