Montague must be preparing for a
boom, judging by the way he is stock
ing up his Mammoth and One-Price
Cash Stores. BY purchasing his goods
i'm such large quantities he naturally
gets much lower prices. He guaran-
tees good goods in all the departments
of his extensive establishments mt
prices that absolutely astonish other
merchants in the valley, some of them
going so far as to say that Montague
retails his goods as low as they buy
them at wholesale. The careful buyer
invariably goes to Montague's.

HALL IN THE SWIM.
Land Commissioner Hall Announces for Gov
ernor-County Taxes Settled-Lock
McDaniels Accepts.

Special to the Gazette.
AUSTIN, TEX, May 14.-Lock Mo-
Daniels of Grimes county has written q
letter to Governor Ross thanking him for
the nomination as commissioner of the
World IS fair, and saying he will accept
if appointed.
The following counties settled their
taxes to-day: Comal, Erath and Bee
The last named did the remarkable thing
of settling all its taxes except twelve
twelve poll taxes.
The sensation of the day, and yet
one not unexpected, was the announce
ment of Hon. R. NJ. Hail, present land
commissioner, for governor. 1t was
the general opinion in political circles
here that Mr.. Hall has contemplated
this step for some time. and that his
declination to run for re-
election to his present Office was in por-
removed = Mr.. Hall was seen by
your reporter this afternoon, and said
he was in tho race. He says he has been
urged by letters from various parts of
the state, but declined to make the race
so long as Throckmorton was in the
field. In q few days Hail will prepare
an address containing his platform.
Suffice it here to say that he is for rail-
road regulation, which he believes
to be the best for the interest
of the people, and that a commission
is the proper and inevitable agent for the
regulation. Hall says he makes the race
in the Interest of Texas and the Demo-
cratic party, which has in its hands the
destiues of the state. To the Democracy
he says he appeals, and not to the waver-
ing, inconstant elements on the outside.
1t is predicted by politicians here that in
few days Mcdonald will withdraw :,
leaving the race to Hail and Hogg.

There is a part of housekeeping that
merits more of the personal attention of
the housekeeper than 1t usually receives
"a part that adds or detracts from the
comfort of the entire household, and not
infrequently affects the good health OF
the family. Reference is made to leav-
ing the selection of table supplies to the
butcher and the green grocer instead OF
TO the purchaser and consumer.
A lady was once heard to say, "when
l was married did not know ham from
q shoulder. And how many who are
married know tenderloin from sirloin or
the meat of hindquarter from that of
the forequarter?
You say that you always order por-
terhouse steak? Are you sure that
you know what constitutes a por7,
terhouse steak? Can you distinguish be-
tween it and q tenderloin, or do you
know whether you ever get an honest cut
of either? Oh, yes, you NAV pay for
one or the other. The butcher knows
how TO charge as well as to cut and
to weigh, and he is never the victim of
his own generosity. The truth is the
modern order system, while 1t is very
convenient, and sometimes it would be

WASHINGTON, May 16.-Mr. Springer OF Illi-
nois had some amusement with the Republicans
n the house this morning. Rising with a copy
OF the New York Evening Post in hand and
reading extracts from its Pittsburg special dis
patch of yesterday about the effects of Butter =

QUAY's HANDIwoRK.
1t Is very generally understood here that a
change of front on the part of the government
which gave the case against James Campbell
and others to defendants was brought about by
Senator Quay, who has interested himself &C
lively in Campbell's behalf II the whole story
could be told, Attorney General Miller would
unquestionably be able to throw some interest
ing light on this affair, as it was with him that
Quay had his conferences on the subject.
Secretary Window was probably as surprised
man as any in Washington to-day on reading
the news Of Campbell's escape, for he expected
a different outcome, and was honestly trying to
enforce law against contract labor. Campbell s
lively share IN the Republican campai gn OF
1888 is believed to DO what saved him.

Special to the Gazette.
WASHINGTON, May l6.-The house was treated
to another sensation to- day, only second to that
sprung by Butterworth. in a speech by Repre-
sentative Henderson (Republican) from Iowa,
one OF the most fiery, dashing orators on the Re-
publican side. He bore down upon his party
of the tariff or lamp chimneys. He threw him
self into the fight with the same vigor that char
acterized his charges into the enemy's ranks
when the ''old soldier" question was before the
house.
Messrs. Bayne of Pennsylvania and Payne of
New York tried to silelce him, but in vain.
Chairman Mckinley, not having his commit
tee clerk, Maj. Carson, beside him at the time
to furnish him with points, did not venture to
open his mouth in opposition to Henderson.
Fort Worth weekly gazette. [volume] (Fort Worth, Tex.) 1882-1891, 1890-05-22

One Of the comical incidents of the tariff de-
bate occurred this morning when Chairman Nc
Kinley submitted lot of amendments, consist
ing chiefly of corrections and clerical errors.
Many of these corrections change from capitals
to lower initials. or vice versa. This is, OF
course, absurd, as such changes are not called
for in the manuscript text of the bill, which is
what the house is supposed to have before it.
As matter of fact the clerk Of the house has on
under strict rule. That man in congress as
long as Mr.. Mckinley, and got into so exalted
position, should be led into the blunder OF recog
nizing printed copy as the bill before the house
has caused good deal Of comment on the floor
and in the galleries.

On the Anxious Seat.

Special TO the Gazette.
WAsHINGroN, May Southern congressman
are thinking great deal Of the new factor that
will have to be taken into account IN the game
of politics, the Farmers Alliance. It is said to
be annoying the Georgia and Alabama represen- =
tatives most of all. Ths Alliance in the
latter state is making an aggressive
fight to capture seven of the ten congressions
seats. As regards Texas the organization has
not shown its hand SO fully, but indications
warrant the belief that in the near future it will
throw down the gauntlet and ayow IT'S purpose
OF sending some Alliance men TO Washington.
The Texas delegation have received the Alliance
catechism, and it is understood that Mills is pre-
pairing a reply to their questions That VIII soon
be printed. It Is believed that he viii take
about the same ground that Mr.. Oates OF Ala
bama did when replying to the same questions
in direct Issue with several Of the Allan ce's pet
schemes. @. w. Macune, who once ran an
Alliance organ at Dallas, is editing paper here
Of the same sort and isvery active as chairman OF
the national legislative committee in trying to i'm
press his ideas on congress- He appeared before
the house committee on ways and means, with
quite an argument in favor OF the sub-treasury
and crop warehouse schemes, ana seemed to be
proceeding finely, till Roswell p. Flower OF New
York opened fire on them with lot OF shrewd
questions that rather staggered Macune' he
bungled his answers and got badly mixed up be-
fore taking his seat, as Flower put questions
that he evidently had not anticipated. Not
few members, however, who stand in awe Of tBss
Alliance, were well pleased that the busineksof
cross-examination devolved on somebod8Sise.
Mr.. cULBERsoN's SPEECH
on the relations of the tariff system to agF5eul-
ture, and incidentally review OF the aforesaid
sub-treasury proposition, is attracting a COP
siderable amount of attention, and has beep
highly spoken of here. y
FAIR COMMISSIONERS. ~
President Harrison will name the eight COM
missioners atlarge to the Worlds fair at Chi
cago some day next week. Probably no appi-
cant for place as commissioner had as heavy
Endorsements as John 7. Dickinson of Texas,
but in the meantime Mr.. Dickinson received
notice of his appointment as state
commissioner by Governor Ross. 1t is con-
sidered that the governor Of Texas could not
have made a more fitting selection. The ap-
pointee is young man of splendid ability and
recognized talent in the exposition business.
Had he not received q state appointment he
would almost certainly have been named COM
missioner at large. Mr.. Dickinson will leave
for Chicago next week. and there is hardly
doubt but that he will be chosen to some posi-
ton of high Importance in connection with the
world S fair,
