While father bends


Weak with the weight Of years,
His trembling voice with giadness
His dim eyes filed with tears.
To both the greatest pleasure
The year brings on its way
. Is this, the glad home coming
Upon Thanksgiving day.
Once more the rooms re-echo
From kitchen, stairs and hall,
The sound Of old-time voices,
And merry dinner call:
While many sweet grandchildren
With laughter light and gay,
Come pressing round the table.
This glad Thanksgiving day.
So come, We sons and daughters,
From restless city strife;
Come, ere you lose your relish
For the quiet joys Of life;
Come back, We rowing children,
From prairies far and wide,
AND cluster round the hearth stone
Once more at even-tide.
Take up the song of CHILDHOOD
And sing il DER again;
Forget that We are matrOns,
Or business loving men.
And il your eyes grow misty,
Rejoice that it is so;
A heart sincerely tender
Is the purest one to know.
Remember, with your loved ones
Lies lamp doth feebly burn;
Your parents may not linger
To greet late return.
Forget them not, though patient
Oh. come now while you may
Praise God-rejoice together
On this Thanksgiving day.

TIE UNVARNtsHED.
Why the Panhandle and Northwest Texas are
Not in Love with the Metropolis"
wAsHBURN, TEX, May 9, 1890.

To the Gazette.
The people of Washburn are proud of
the fact that the delegates at the Bowie
convention selected Fort Worth instead
of Dallas as the Panhandle headquarters.
While they have nothing especially
against Dallas they have nothing for her.
During the last four years and especially
during our awful drouth, Dallas had not
word OF friendship or encourage
ment for the Northwest. She WAS
looking after and catering more especially
to the wants of Weather districts. But
now since we have made such wonderful
success in agricultural pursuits aud DEM
onstrated the fact that there is no better
or surer farming country in Texas than
ours, and since we are becoming able to
take care of ourselves Dallas Is quite
willing to come in and be ''God father''
to this grand country, not for the love
they have for US, but simply for what
she may be able to gain by being our
ally. On the other hand, Fort Worth
has been our friend from the start. She
was for the Northwest when there was
only handful of people. She encour-
aged the people who came and worked to
get others here. She had faith IN the
country, and was not afraid to say so.
When we had reverses, which we did
have, she was with US, and during our
prosperity she is still the same. So We
cannot go back on her. We are too
closely connected, in fact have been
raised together, and the average
frontiersmen know thsir friends, and are
not easily pulled of By some jumped-up
or pretended friendship from others.
Washburn will have q delegate at the
convention, and we think every town in
the Panhandle country should have, for
we certainly have grand chance TO adj
vertise our country now with but little
expense. G. T. OLIVER.

THE WOMEN GOT MAD.
The Female officers Of the Town of Edgson,
KAs., Resign in Huff Because the
Men Criticise Them.
Special to the Gazette.


KANSAS CITY, Mo. May 1.-THE Ia
dies who were recently elected officers of
Edgron, Kan. have already wearfed of
the new found honors. They want to let
go so bad they all resigned yesterday,
and say the men can run things in
the future. The whole trouble arose
from the fact that the men have been
SO free to criticize the ladies on each and
every official action that the poor dears
have thrown down their reins in huff
and declare that the men are too
mean to be governed by respectable
people. At the meeting of the city
council last night the fun began
when it was reported that
men who were Taxpayers refused
to allow certain innovations to be pro-
ceeded with in the order of the city
council. The ladies began their Access
sion to power by ordering the streets all
cleared and sidewalks laid all over town.
Hard cider joints were closed and there
was general shaking up of dry bones.
When the report was made the ladies
were first mad, and then they took
refuge in that feminine source of COM
fort, good cry, and then the ball was
started by the mayor, Mrs. W. II.
Kelly, saying she would have nothing
more to do with the thing, and she re-
signed and left the council chamber. She
was followed by Mrs. Thomas Greer, po-
lice Judge, and there was scram-
Bile between Mesdames Mat Ross
Rolla Holdin, a. C. Brown and Stew
art, the members of the council. to see
which could get in her resignation first.
The result is that there is not an officer
IN the town now, and
special election has been called
to be held on the 18th of May
to fill the vacancies. A majority OF the
men, however, are opposed to the ladies
resigning, and say they will re-elect the
old officers and show them that they are
ready to endorse their action toward i'm
proving the town. morals.

LONDON, May 12.-There was a nota-
BILE gathering of free traders at the Cob
den club to-day, the occasion being the
presentation of an address to Thomas
Baily Potter, Gladstone member of par
lament for Rochdale. Potter for several
years occupied the position of honorable
treasurer of the club, and Is recognized
as one of the highest authorities on
tariff matters in England. The address
was presented by Gladstone, who in part
of his speech, referred to anti Chinese
legislation in the United States. Owing
to the ambiguity of legislation on the
Chinese question, he said, it was not al
together clear whether the American
government taxed Chinese who entered,
or barred them all out. Anyway he
thought that the Chinese were to
be dreaded more for their virtues
than their vices, which he had not be-
lleved to- be so extensive or fragrant as to
warrant the grounds taken. In an in
terview subsequently Mr.. Potter de-
clared it to be his conviction that the
tariff question would again be the issue
in the presidential campaign in 1892 when
the free traders or tariff reformers would
ii all probability be successful.
HENRY NJ. STANLEY
is given to an exhibition of ilI-temper
which disclosed in his character an ele-
ment of egotism which threatens to in
crease the number of his enemies If
allowed to remain undisturbed. Just
now he is complaining of the oowardice
of public men and the press of England
in not taking an aggressive position
against Germany in Africa
at his behest and is in
clined to belittle the intellectual
qualities Of those who do not agree with
him in the matter of England g imme-
date dominion of the lake and other
desirable portions of the interior. He
admits, however, that there is plenty of
room in Africa for both Germany
and England, but thinks an
English railway should be con-
structed at once to- connect
the lakes. and place that re-
gion beyond the possibility of
occupation by other powers. Such
railway he asserts would open the inte-
rior to trade, the value OF which can
scarcely be estimated. He expresses ad-
mirstion for Maj. Wiessman, but is dis
inclined TO speak of Emin or of his new
expedition. Throughout the interview
in which Stanley expressed himself as
above, he referred to himself as an En-
glishman.
