FORT WORTH, Tex, June 8, 1880.
Editor Gazette.
If any one thing more than another
has endeared THE GAZETTE in the hearts
of the people of Texas it is the spirit of
fairness that has uniformly character
lied its differences in the discussion of
questions of public import. This feature
candor and sincerity, and has caused it
to exercise an influence with its readers
which few papers enjoy. Persons have
come to regard its utterances as truthful
and unbiased, and it is with deep regret
that l notice an inclination to depart
from this high standard that has won for
it place at the head of Texas papers.
In your editorial of this date under the
caption of "a Seven County Combine, -
you give expression to thoughts that are
unworthy of so great journal, and are
more IN eonsonance with the frothings of
irresponsible and uninf1uential seVen-by-
nine papers.
The call upon Judge Cook to be come
candidate for governor may have ema-
mated from the citizens of only seven
counties, but they represent just seven
more counties than called upon Mr.. Hogg
to become q candidate. The men who
signed the call are men who are dis
tinguished for their learning, statesman
ship and love for Texas. Many of them
have been honored in the past by the
state of Texas, and all of them are wor-
thy of honor and esteem, and are not
proper subjects for the keen shaft of rid
icule.
II the fact that some of them are now,
or have been in the past ''railroad at
torneys' is to disqualify them from an
expression Of opinion upon the most Inn
portant question that has ever been be-
fore the people of Texas, what is to be-
come of the bright and shining lights in
the councils of the "Hogg and commits
sion'' men? T. J. Brown is an ex-raIl-
road attorney, and even in the Fort
Worth crowd, OF two of the leading
lights, one is an ex-railroad attorney,
and another railroad attorney at this
time, If 1 mistake not. If being "rail-
road Attorney is to ostraoise men from
engaging in the discussion on the one
side why not on the other? In my judg-
ment, Mr.. Editor, there should be no
distinctions of class, and no one debarred
from an expression Of opinion because of
his occupation and employment. Your
appeal to the Farmers and laboring
msnh to rush into the breach and save
the country, may recoil so ae day when
least expected. Your own good judg-
ment, Mr.. Editor, will tell you that It is
easier to SOW the wind than reap the
whirlWind. ANTI COMMISSION.

The Business Men viii Make Demand for
Free and Raw Materials.
Special to the Gazette.
PHILADELPHIA, Pa, June 2.-The in
dications are that there will be an ont
pouring of representative business men
at the mass meeting to be held III Wal
nut street thester tomorrow afternoon
when Philadelphia demand for tree
raw materials Will be voiced in vigor-
GUS protest that will be made against the
passage of the Mckinley tariff bill. The
meeting will not be political affair. 1t
will be eonduo ed solely by the business
men, many of whom are Republicans
who voted for Harrison in 1883, but who
now realize the fallaey of the position
which their party has taken on this grave
subject. The application for tickets in
dictates the prospective presence of rep
resentatIves of nearly every industry in
the city. An opportunity is seldom pre-
sented when such distinguished speakers
can be obtained for such an occasion.
The list includes Representatives Roger

ARRANGEMENTS have been made for
summer normal at Bowie. Montague
county. This point at which to hold the
summer normal is peculiarly convenient
for students in the Panhandle. The cir
cular sent to The GAZETTE Estates that
accommodation has been secured for 100
teachers at the extremely cheap rate of
$40 per month. The work seems to have
been most carefully laid out, and as Is
said in the circular no teachers can hope
for success in their vocation who do not
keep pace with the progress constantly
going on in their field of labor. The
faculty have secured able lecturers, and
earnestly request teachers of the Nine
teenth senatorial district to give their
hearty cooperation in the work.

INVITATIONS have been sent out for q
grand opening ball in the new hotel at
Rusk, Tex. on the 10th Of June. The
proceeds of the ball are to be used for the
benefit Of the Confederate home at Aus
tin. This is likely TO prove a most aus
picious opening for q new enterprise
and there is no one that will not wish
business success to the management of
this hotel, who inaugurate their work by
giving pleasure and bestowing charity
THE GAZETTE regrets that to the busy
man in newspaper work such pleasure IS
almost interdicted.

THE GAZETTE acknowledges the recep-
ton of an invitation to be present ut a
banquet that will be given to-day at the
city of Abilene in honor OF the sheriffs of
Texas now convened in that city. This
honor is rendered the body of visitors by
the citizens and the progressive commit
tee of the city who have the matter in
charge. That it will be a delightful
occasion admits no question, and when
the bumper is emptied to absent friends
THE GAZETTE hopes to be remembered.

THE warm weather admonishes the
partisans who are saving the country
IN Texas to keep cool. Texas can and
should discuss the commission amend
ment without rancor and without crimi-
nation and recrimination. Tive ntY-five
other states, Democratic, Republican
and doubtful, have actually adopted
commission regulation without anarchy ,
without danger to the personal liberty Of
the people of those states, without ruin
to the railroad interests of those states,
and without invective, and without as
persIon of motives. Cannot SO brave q
people as Texans do the same?

iIF THE opinions expressed in many
newspapers by judges and lawyers on
the "originsl package" decision are any
criterion, the supreme court of the
United States is not free from suspi-
cion of caprioiousness. A supreme judge
ascending the bench is presumed to lay
aside all thought of popular sentiment,
while IN fact he does nothing of the
kind. He may have no need for knee
hinges as far as holding office is con-
cerned, but he is still man and amen
able to many considerations that move
human nature.

A HAPPY EVENT.

| Commencement Exercises of Trinity Hall
the First Baptist Church.
The first commencement exercises of

of the city. On the platform were
seated Rev. DR.. J Morgan Wells, the
graduate, Miss Bessie Gross, the princi-
pal of Trinity hall Miss A. G. ConklinS,
| and Thomas J. Hurley president of the
board of directors. In the rear were

The musical numbers were all well
rendered, and those by the pupils of the
al fol 4trlv M
lent instruction. The essay of Miss
Bessie Gross, the graduate, on the sub
jeet, 'fwhere Lies the Power" was q
well-consldered, beautifully written
treatise, aud was read gracefully and
distinctly by the fair young graduate.
Miss Gross is from Illinois, and was in
duced to come to Texas to attend school
by the high reputation of Miss Conkling
as teacher of young ladies'.
The diploma given Miss Gross
was presented by Hon. Thomas
J. Hurley, president of the
board Of directors of the school. Mr..
Hurley delivered a short address, full
of happy thoughts and graceful illusions
befltting the occasion, wishing for Miss
Gross life's career equal in brilliancy to
that after school days, and Astounding in
good advice to the undergraduates OF the
school. Mr.. Hurley finished his remarks
by advising Miss Gross to so home and
see her friends, then take the first train
back to Texas, marry hustler and grow
up with the countYr.
Trinity hall was established last year
by Miss Conkling as O school for the
higher education of young ladies,
and has had to contend
with many of those obstacles met with at
the start by similar institutions; but SO
well has been its guidance, 80 intelligent
its direction. that the close of the first
year finds it upon firm footing, with
hosts of friends TO aid it in its career OF
usefulness.
The corps of teachers embraces able
instructors in all branches, and the chief
aim is to make the course given thorough
and practical.
the board of directors is composed of
the following well known gentlemen:
John r. Hoxie, A. T. Byers, w. F.
Lake, B. B. Paddock, T. B. Burbridge,

THERE is q general protest against re-
plying to some of the questions put by
the census taker, who commenced his
work on Monday. The refusal by con-
gress to amend the schedule, and the
authorizing by the secretary of the inte-
rior of correspondents to send out notice
that any citizen who ventures to refuse
to answer questions concerning disease
and indebtedness will be punished, makes
truth telling difficult, if it does not offer
q premium on lying.

Mr.. FITCH of the Knickerbocksr Ice
company of New York af1rms that not q
single cake of ice was cut on the Hudson
river last winter, and that this season is
the first in forty years that the company
has not started with old ice. The dan
ger from ''ice bugs' does not exist this
year, but long bills are likely to counter
act any special comfort to be derived
from the promised immunity.

A Serious Loss.
Denver Republican

The destruction of the Texas Spring
Palace at Fort Worth was very serious
loss TO the people of Northern Texas
apart from the value of the property
consumed by the fire. The exhibits de-
stroyed undoubtedly included many the
value of which could not be measured by
dollars and cents. Fortunately the ex-
position was near its close and so the
fire will not deprive Fort Worth, and
Northern Texas in general, of the benefit
of the exposition as such to the extent
that it would have done if the disaster
had occurred q few weeks earlier.
