WHAT BEAUTY.
4 Grand Fountain ia Fort North, aud 1t
History.

History.
The very expensive and elegant new
soda fountain which has been recently
placed in the Fort Worth Pharmacy Co. =,
corner of Fifth and Main streets, was
upon Yesterday christened the Spring
Palace fountain by Gen. Cameron in the
presence of a large number of witnesses.
The reason that Gen. Cameron gave for
naming this elegant new fountain the
Spring Palace is that, like the Spring
Palace, 1t was progressive, and repre-
scented Fort Worth of the future rather
than Fort Worth of to-day. In the
happy remarks made by Gen. Cameron
upon this occasion, he said: "Every
man and woman of culture and good
taste that looks upon this fountain, will
say, it is grand; it is unique; it Is reals
it is beautiful; it is mRgnificent;@tkls
wonderful; it is charming; it is HleasaEit
It is cooling; it is refTesRIng% it is
aesthetic; it is harmless ~ Stsseffect upon
both body and mintisSss
The Spring 6ssce fountain has
twenty fqtF syrup faucets, a capacity
for 5e9 po6nds of ice, and when run to
ltssheignt employs two attendants behind
the counter, and at the counter twenty
persons can be served at once without
any crowding. This fountain has a his
tory that will not be uninteresting to the
readers to the Evening Mail. Soda foun-
talns are American Institutions. There
are none in Europe. MIR. james W.
Tufts, the great Boston manufacturer of
soda fountains and the architect and
builder of the Spring Palace fountain,
about year ago commenced the build
ing of three huge and elegant soda foun-
tains, all of the same design, one Of
which 1t was his purpose to run in Lon
don, Paris and Berlin at his own expense,
and by these exhibitions to make for
eign market for his fountains. Early in
February of this year the Fort Worth
Pharmacy Co. opened CORE
pondence with Mr.. Tufts of Boston, the
object of which was to have him build
soda fountain for them of surprising size
and excellence. But Mr.. Tufts replied he
could not finish such fountain az they
desired in less than six months, but he
had three all alike he was about to ship
TO Europe, and recommended that MIR.
Smailwood come to Boston to see them,
and II he liked the pattern he could pro-
duce at as early time as possible q
counterpart. 1t was then suggested ~
Mr.. Tufts TO ship the London fountain to
London, the Paris fountain to Paris, and
TO sell the Pharmacy company the Berlin
fountain; that the Germans were so
habituated to beer drinking that it was
doubtful if be would make a success in
Berlin. The end was Mr.. Tufts took
that view Of the matter, and at large
price sold the Pharmacy company the
Spring Palace nee Berlin fountain.

fountain at the Fort Worth Pharmacy

CATTLE EATES.
The Alton Makes Another Cut and Sets

The Alton Makes Another Cut and Sets
other Roads on Their Ends.
As a rate cutter the Chicago and Alton road, of
1ate has eCualtcd the record made by the Iowa
legislature: but it can be said in favor of the Al
ton that she has been provoked to it by the IN
derhsnded work Of competing lines, that could
not hold their own On the square, The Alton
first started the war OF retaliation by putting
down the rate on cattle from Missouri river
points to Chicago and st. Louis, and to the road
Cattlemeu. Of .TeSas are indebted for the present
reduced charges The next cut announced by
the Alton was That on lumber; and now she
comes with ano i-es cut IN cattle rates that IS
raising merry sheol among all the railroads ana
II was announced last Monday from Chicago
that the Alton road had resolved TO make still
greRter reduction n cattle rates, but the char
acteEof tie reduCtiCn1gas not made clear. The
4 Iton has been claiming for some time that cat
tie rates are beius, manipulated by its c0mpeti-
tors by tl!sPayp Snt OF mileage and the payment
of commissions. TO meet this competition it
now announces that on and after April 20 it will
make an allowance OF one and one-half cents per
mile on stock loaded Ia cars belonging TO the
Chicago and Alton read. This reduction wall
amount 60 $50 q car between Kansas City and
Chicago.
Between East ST. Louis OF Higbee and Chicago,
Between Kansas City and St. Louis, $3.50
car.
Between Kansas CITY and Alton, "a. 80 a car.
Between Kansas City and Joliet, Sc. 20 car.
Between East St. Louis and Joliet, So. 50 q car.
by TINS arrangement the tarlu over connecting
lines need not be disturbed, and rates win still
be figured as heretofore and an allowance of
one and . half cents per mile deducted before
the freight bill Is collected. The notice has
already been served on the Southwestern freight
association to this effect, which means praCti-
cal Reduction OF 2 per cent on existing rates,
This is The first instance on record where COM
paDy has openly announced that it would pay
directly TO shippers mileage on the ordinary cars
owned by the ICaCs> Such rebates have often
been granted secretly, but the Alton now puts
the reduction directly into the tariff heets.

Slippers Of Cattle Make Complaint
Against the Central.
The Alton Makes Another Slash Into Cattle
Rates; hicago Roads Give spring
Iaiace Rates General News.

Shippers Of cattle along the line of the Texas
Central road are complaining on account Of the
position taken by that line in regard to cattle
shipments. 1t is claimed by shippers in the
Southern part OF She state that up to the first
of last year cattle could be shipped over the
Central road on through bills of lading via any
line the shippers saw proper to select. Last
year, howey ct, the Central adopted tactics
that have been q source Of considerable annoy
Rnce, and refused to issue through bills of
laGing except the cattle were shipped via
the Frisco route. It IS understood that the
same policy is 20 be pursued this year; and if
shipper wishestO ship from Marlin to Chicago
via the Central and Missouri, Kansas and Texas,
he VIII have to have his cattle rebilled at Deni-
son or ut whatever point they leave the Central
road. If, however, The shiT per VIII agree that
his cattle can so over the Frisco. the Central
viii issue thTouah bills TO the point Of destina-
tiOn. As stated, cattle shippers are sore over
this matter and threaten to have the matter
tested in tie courts Of the state, or viii bring
the matter before the interstate commerce COM
mission.

a. GO ana Preminm-

The Southern Pacific has not won many
friends among the cattlemen of late days-in
fact Just the reverse is true. This resulted
from the OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES manner
in which the road treated shippers and it in
6uced cattlemen to, as far as they could, with
draw their patronage from the line, The
Southern Pacific is now trying to win back the
COWBOYS. and loses no opportunity to do some
little thing that it is thought will have good
effect The last act OF this kind is just made
pUbIic and consists of waving the 10 per cent.
premium charged all cattle shipped in palace or
stable cars. This was announced on the I'd inst,
and is effective at once.

Paying Political Debts

The Republican party has practically
bankrupted the country. They entered
into the emoluments of Office with some
thing like one hundred million dollars
in the treasury of the United States.
Since that time they have not only
squandered that sum but they have
landed the country in debt. This money
was paid out in pensions to the Grand
Army veterans, not because of their
loyalty, but because it was thought
they would cast their ballots for the
candidates presented by the Republican
party. In other words they i'm
agined the vote Of the soldiers
could be purchased with the money
flched from the people by an oppressive
high tariff Not only were they expect
ing to profit from this source, but it was
building up monopolies and trusts which
in turn would contribute their thou
sands and tens of thousands to Repub-
lican campaign funds. Was ever party
so bold and so infamous as to levy a tax
on the people for the purpose of provid-
ing for campaign funds for political
party? 1t is time this should come to an
end. The Democratic party proposes it
shall come to an end. 1t proposes that
the people of Ohio shall stop contribut-
ing to the campaign fund of political
party. The Democratic party of Ohio pro-
poses that each party shall furnish its own
money for political campaigns. 1t pro-
| poses that each tub shall stand on its
own bottom. 1t will put stop to that
system of taxation which allows the
| party benefited to contribute money for
campaign purposes at the expenseof the
people, and this will end the damnation
of the Republican party when fully car

The Mckinley Bill is young as yet,
but already it has demonstrated that it
has lusty grip, that it can set its teeth
hard upon the workingman's dollar and
let go only after it has bitten piece
out. Dealers in clothing and cloths are
marking up their wares. Queensware
houses see before them the necessity for
taking similar step. Tobacco, which
so eminent Protectionist as Blaine, of
Maine, declared a necessity, is higher.
The pots and pans of the kitchen ad-
vance in price. Cutlery is higher. The
laboring man has to stand the advance.
All of US have to stand it, as far as that
goes, but it falls harder where the ad-

OUR DUTY
In the Coming N0vem-
Der Election Stated
In Plain Language That
None Can Mistake or
Misinterpret.
No Ohio Democrat Should Scratch
Single Democratic Candidate.
Local Victories Over the State Means
Thad. Cromley's Election.

The duty of every Democrat in the
State of Ohio is perfectly p!Hin. When
on election day he goes to the polls he
should vote for every man on the ticket
without any exception. Senator In
gals, one of the Republican idols, says
that the meanest Republican is better
than the best Democrat Senator Hoar
says he wants to see file of Union
soldiers at and around. every ballot-box.
Census Supervisor Porter has gone into
Democratic States and purposely reduc-
ed the count of the population for the
purpose of euchering the Democrats out
of Congressman here and there and no
steps have been taken and no stone left
unturned to disfranchise Democrats in
all the States of the Union. Every Re-
publican candidate. before the people
this fall, whether on the State, Congress
sional, district or county ticket is pledg-
ed to the support of the men who
have been Matching all these outrages
against the people. When Republican
candidate asks your vote in a local cleo
ton ascertain if he intends to vote for
the men who are supporting the big,
burly Reed, who stole the seats of doz-
en- Democratic Congressman, and who
are urging the iniquitous Force bill on
the country to rob the Southern people
of their rights, as we'll as to annoy and
embarrass Northern Democrats. Don't
vote for any Republican who upholds
the outrages perpetrated by the Repub-
lican Congress. Rest assured that Re-
publicans are not voting for Democrats.
Their policy is to get all the Democrat
ic votes possible and then make no re-
turn. If there ever was a time when
the Democratic party should stand to-
gether man to man, shoulder to shoul-
der, that time is now. In unity there is
strength, but in division there is dan
ger and disaster. No Democrat should
scatter his fire. Let it be turned upon
the common enemy. Let every Demo-
crat in Ohio come out to the polls this
fall. Let him vote for every man on his
local ticket and it will swell the Demo
cratic vote of the State into great VIC
tory for Thad Crom1ey in November
united and enthusiastic victory in the
different counties in Ohio mean much in
November and more next year. The
Democrats have Ohio almost in their
grasp. All that is needed is a long pull,
a strong pull and the Buckeye State will
permanently swing into the column Of
Democratic commonwealth.

THE Providence Journal is a great
Republican paper of New England, and
yet speaking of Tyrant Reeds Congress,
it says:
The conservative citizen may we'll
look askance at the National balance
sheet as it is to be when the work of the
Fifty-frst Congress shows its results.
The appropriations by this business
body amount to 1852, ,939,956, a grand
total of forty millions greater than that
appropriated by the Congress preceding,
and if the Republican party proposes to
appeal to the public at large on any
such record it is easy to anticipate the
public response. The Fifty-frst Con-
gress is a business Congress, perhaps, as
Speaker Reed has remarked in effect,
but that signifies little of good, for so is
the highway robber who relieves you of
your watch and pocket-book business
man. One aggravated trouble with Mr..
Reeds Congress has been the transac-
tion of certain business which the
country can very i'll afford.

DAN R1 IAN, the Republican Secretary
of State, is finding serious fault with
the Demo cratic press for criticizing his
official CO uduct. He would have the
public bell, ave that he is being abused,
and that De u1ocrats are making per-
sonal fight on him. Such is not the
case. The Demo Gratis find no fault with
him as. a man and citizen, but they
find fa1T t with his administration. He
is runnip on his record. If that record
can not i q discussed, is is better to abol-
ish elect ions altogether and elect Dan
for life. Has it come to that pass in
this coun try when public official can
not be crt ticized for his actions without
raising tia cry that he is being abused:
No Democ rat finds fault with Dan Ryan
as man. They do find fault with his
record. T. hey think he has been too ex
pensive, be cause he cost the people SO,

did before.
