NEW ENGLAND LOGIC.

Senator Reagan dared a few days ago in
the senate to complain of the evident un-
fairness with which the senate treated
the South in fixing the new schedule Of
duties under the Mckinley bill, contrast
ing the clauses giving the Northwest free
binding Irvine and the South taxed cot
ton bagging and ties. Such a criticism
ought to appear to the ordinary individ-
ual as at least allowable, if not just and
merited. But Senator Blair of New
Hampshire thought otherwise, and in a
spirited reply rebuked the Texas senator
for finding fault with anything done by
q government that mercifully spared his
life.
That is fair sample of New England
logic. What connection or analogy
there was between Senator Reagan's
tariff criticism and his Confederate
record 1t is impossible to conceive.
There was none, of course, aud Blair
knew it very well. When Reagan ven
tured the assertion that there was I'M
fairness in the placing of those duties,
Tertuffe retorted, "What II there is?
Are you not pardoned traitor who owe
your life to the mercy of the govern
ment? Instead Of imputing unfairness
to the majority of this body you should
be breathing prayers of thankfulness
that you were not long ago hanged like q
dog.'' Such is the New England style
of knock down argument, aud such the
spirit of fellowship, charity and Godli-
ness dominating the soul of this pious old
fraud, this odious hypoorite and insulting
bigot.
He complains that Southerners are not
loyal, don't love the flag and appreciate
the Union as they should. If il were
true, which it Is not, would it be Won
derful, when Southern senators are con-
tinually being subjected to brutal /taunts
and insults from malignant and hoary
headed witch burners. whose upturned
eyes, and lips dripping with unctious
Goodness, mask the soul shriveling
hatred that burns within them? How
can there be q union of hearts with such
reptiles as Blair?

The Question of Good Roads.
Terrell Register.

4errSll hcBlSlGT
If there Ia anything which concerns the
interests of the farmers on which they
are more than usually shortsighted 1t is
the question of roads. AS o rule the
average farmer is content to pillow
through mud, bump over stones and
gullies and toll up rugged hills IN order
to haul a scanty load to market rather
than have slightly increased burden of
taxes to improve the highways. A bad
road is equivalent to a double distance,
and good road is often as great boon
as good crop. The farmer understands
well enough the cost of transportation
when he comes to deal directly with rail-
roads and has to pay the money out of
his pocket; but he does not always con-
slider that important part which consists
from his farm TO the nearest market or
shipping point. This is by no means an
lrconsiderable item in the cost. The
farmer who has to haul his produce for
any distance over bad roads in bad
weather loses much more in the wear and
breakage of his vehicles, the injury to
his stock, the loss OF time and the in
creased amount Of labor made necessary
than would be his share of u sufficient
increase OF taxes to put his highways in
perfect condition. Good roads mean for
him be tier facilities for market, in
creased value of his product and of his
farm, less labor and worry aud more
leisure and contentment.

Acute Pneumonia.
Special to the Gazette.
NEW YORK, Sept. 17.-Fannie Daven-
port, the well-known actress, is serl-
ously Ill. She Is suffering from pueumo-
mia and has been confined to her bed at
the Westminster hotel for ten days. A
week ago Miss Davenport's condition
was critical, indeed. Her chances of
life were about equally divided. Her
nearest friends were sent for and they
relieved each other in keeping watch at
her bedside. The sufferings of Miss
Davenport since September 10 have been
constant and acute. She has been I'M
able to take nourishment except in
liquid form. Since the day she was at
tackled with the disease Miss Daven-
ports temperature has been over I02
deg. On Monday last it rose to ITO.
This morning it was 103. The normal
temperature is Sl15. Few people W re
aware that Miss Davenport was in New
York. The fact of her serious illness
was religiously guarded as secret from
all but her most intimate friends.

THE CH4NBER OF CO1fJEPCE.

THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE.
The chamber of commerce is the nu-
cleus for every movement calculated to
benefit Fort Worth and its people.
Every one with interests in the city to be
advanced by its progress has vital con-
Germ in the workings of the chamber, and
yet with over 80 200 population there are
only seventy-flve mem bers of the cham
Der of commerce. There should be l75
members. Too many of the people of this
city have INDUCED in the selfish habit of
permitting the few to do those things
which are intended for the general good,
and Fort Worth never will become what
is possible to it until all those who have
interests here put their shoulders to the
wheel. A few men in the past have
done all that has been done, but their
to what might have been had all the peo-
pie performed their share in the work.
1t is not too late for Fort Worth to arouse
itself to action; it is not too late for men
who have been enriched by the efforts of
others to "chip i'm and aid IN the adj
vancement of the city.
What Fort Worth has done is as moth
ing to what Fort Worth could do if all its
people should work, each according to
to his interest in the growth of the city.
The chamber of commerce should be
f,,t, hoo
in store for Fort Worth.

Support Home Mediums.

GAINESVILLE, lex, Sept. II, 1890.
To the Gazette.
Your answer TO the communication
signed "Merchant in to-day's issue is
we'll founded, and indorses my sentiments
and those of many others too modest 10
speak out. The failure of "merchants'
ana other property holders in Fort Worth
10 support advertising mediums original
ing In that city has caused them to either
discontinue publication or accept liberal
offers from the city of Dallas to move
outfits, lock, stock and barrel, to the
metropolis, notably the Texas Railroad
Gazetteer and the New Southwest. Be-
sides these the Livestock Journal has
standing offer of guarantee 10 move
their plant TO the same city, and Fort
Worth subscribes in advertising to that
journal after hard canyassing, only per
cent. of the amount guaranteed by Dali
las.
If the amount paid out foolishly to
such schemes as Frank Leslie (the grand
son of his grandfather) and his partner,
Mr.. Arkell, of the Judge publishing
company, who blacKguards the South
every chance he gets, Texas could fur
nish seeking investors with a first-class
medium of information, and do for itself
what Alabama and Georgia have done
for themselves.
AS long as Fort Worth business men
expect new men to come in aud blow the
town up for them and get no returns,
either in thanks or money, Dallas will
continue to grow, and your city will con-
time TO call for business houses, resi-
dences and first-cass business men.
Where is all that enterprise we hear SO
much of? NEW CONFER.

Rutherford Erroneous.
Special to the Gazette.
WACO, TEX, Sept. lot seems as
though the impression has gone abroad
that DR.. W. L. Barker, the health ply
stefan for the city of Waco, had been de-
posed by DR.. Rutherford. Such is not
the case, however. DR.. Rutherford, as
was his right and duty, appointed an as
sistant with headquarters in Waco, and
he only takes charge of the inspection of
the disease that called for his appoint
ment. To counterfeit any false impress
sions, the city council last night passed
the following resolutions:
Resolved, that the city council of the
city of Waco has full confidence IN the
skill, courage and integrity of DR.. w. L.
Barker, the city health physician, and
merely acquiesces in to the transfer of
the pest business to the state as a matter
of public policy, and we do not hold DR..
Barker any further responsible except as
called upon by the mayor.

of some mischIevous wretch or wretches
on mischief bent, who had piled up
boxes and barrels and touch ed 1t of with

perpetrators could have been found there
would have been first-class lynching to
report. But SO far no clue has been OBJ
tanned as to the guilty parties.

RHODES MACKN1GHT, writing for the
New York Star, concludes a paper on
'JournaIism as TradeD in these words:

THE character OF the newspaper man of to-
day is largely differen. from that of his proto-
type OF even decade ago. Bohemianism is up
on It's last legs, and the modern journalist has
little to distinguish him from his fellowmen.
This may be due largely to the recruiting of the
ranks from college bred men. Whatever the
comes a new estimation of the craft upon the
part of the public.
To the young man of intelligence. fzity Of
purpose and progressiveness the tield OF journal-
ism offers great opportunities; the rewards are
above the ordinary, and the training is veri-
tally school OF life. But the requirements are
correspondingly high, and it is the one profes-
sion of all others in which mediocrity is never
successful.
