but appointed bv judges, who
hold their positions for life,
and would endanger the peace
and good order of communities without
affordiug the 81 ghiest protection to a
single elector. The people, in my judg-
ment, do not need Federal interference
in the elections of the states. There has
nothing taken place IN any part OF the
South to Justify the exercise OF the
DOUBTFUL POWER OF CONGRESS
to regulate our elections. 1t is a policy
of force and partlsauship. The mere
recital of the details of the proposed
measure is sufficient TO make them mex
cusable. Federal supervisors in
every election district. strangers
TO the people. vested with authority
10 override the certificates OF local OFF,
Gals and the governors of the states,
constitute the framework of the pro-
posed iniquity. The sacred right OF
representation is made TO depend upon
the integrity OF partisan officers having
no responsibility to the people. The
tendence Of such legislation would
PROVOKE CONFLICT
between Federal and state officials, and
race prejudices would be eugendered at
the South. Federalism never before as
sumed so extreme an attitude, and polit-
zeal power was never before proposed to
be more basely prostituted TO partisan
Interested. This farce bill is a Vicious
attack upon the Republican form sof
government, and ought not to prevail.
Those who affect to think that the oeo-
pie don I understand this issue and are
not aroused 10 its Importance, mistakes
the signs of the times and the character
ami temper of American people.
In conversation with Mr.. Mckinley on
the train to-day be told me il vas the in
tentisn of the present Republican con-
gress to pass the force bill before lis expi-
ration, no matter which party
was successful in the coming
congressional elections. If they do not
carry the next election you can rest as
sured they will not pass the bill. In con-
clusion the governor said that Mckinley,
the apostle of high protective tariff and
unjust taxation vi no seeks vindication of
his course in the last congress,
should go into some other state and run
there in q congressional district which
contains interests which he has labored
so successfully to serve, and not ask the
support of q constituency which he has

and that is exactly what this amendment
means. We want roads over which the
| farmer can haul four or five bales of cot
| ton with two mules, and do IL easier than
| he now hauls two bales. We will say
| that the average farmes raises twelve
| bales of cotton, at two bales to the trip
he must make six trips to get bis cotton
TO market, but with a good road be could
bring it at three trips, thus saving three
days for himself and his team, which at
SO a day would be So saved in this one
item, to say nothing of the fact that his
wagon, harness and team would last
twice as long, and this calculation holds
good In everything else as well as hauling
his cotton.
The fact is that every farmer in the
country, be he eyer so small is taxed
every year more than 500 by having TO
travel and haul over bad roads, then
how important is it that every farmer
should turn out and vote for this amend
ment, and thus try to relieve himself of
this enormous tax.
And II is not only the farmer that Is
Interested but the merchant, the stock
man, the dairyman, the mechanic and
every other person who ever uses roads
or anything that is hauled over
them is interested in this ques-
tion. The citizens of Travis county
have spent several thousand dollars
this year in building and repairing few
of the main roads that lead out from
Austin, the work is good and valuable as
far as 1t goes, but II is only commenced;
it should be carried to the limits of the
county, every direction, until Travis
county would become famous for its fine
roads.
We hope that enough has been done TO
cause every voter in the county TO want
TO see the good work continued. We
hope TO see a solid and unanimous vote
for this amendment.

That Road Amendment.
Austin Globe.

We wish to keep it continually before
the public that there is TO be submitted
TO them at the coming election an amend
ment providing for each county that de-
sires TO Issue bonds for the building of
good, permanent wagon roads, to do so.
And strange TO say there is In some parts
of the state strong opposition to this
amendment.
We regard this amendment as of vastly
more Importance than the one known as
the commission amendment, for It is
really of far grsater value to the coun-
try. and elects vastly more people.
Few people seem TO calculate the great.

Senator blackburn Seriously Injured.

LOUISVILLE, KY. Oct. 23.-Near YER

S. Blackburn was returning home from
driving his horse became frightened and
running away upset the buggy. The
senator WAS thrown violently to the
ground and lay motlonless for some time.
He was picked up and carried TO his
home where doctors were sent for. 1t
was found upon examination that his
collar bone was broken, his shoulder
crushed, and his was otherwise severely
injured. The doctors do not think it will
result fatally, but he will Us confined to
his bed for some time. All his appoint

up. They have reason to think that
some hidden hand, some occult agency
is quietly at work, manipulating party
machinery adversely to the popular
interests, and that their suspicious
should be bla zoned forth, and timly
warning given the people TO
buckle on their armor once
more, and conquer such another victory
at the polls as that won in the couven-
ton. How far they may be warranted
in their suspicious, let each decide for
himself. The facts concerning the alters-
tion and mutilation of the ticket are as
stated, and do not indicate on
the part of those responsible for
il, steadfastly loyal purpose to observe
the behests of party. There is an evil
dent purpose to mis!sad the voter, and
gain as many ballots as possible against
the commission. The people ought to
know these things, and be apprised of
their duty in going TO the polls on
election day, and giving such a majority
for the commission rs will overwhelm
the ants, aud compel the Legislature TO
carry out the popular wish. The people
have only their votes with which
TO oppose the tireless cunning
of their adversarles, and if
those rates are mol forthcoming III
sufficient numbers, they may find too
late that they have been tricked out of
their game. Let them turn out and
vote, not only for the commission
amendment, but for the road tax amend
ment as we'll. Both are needed and can
be had only by due diligence on the part
of those who will reap the benefit of
them.

PIERRE, S. D., Oct. 23.-Over 1000
civilized Indians from the Crow, Creek
and Yankton agencies passed through
here yesterday returning from Standing
Rock, where they went some time ago
principally to persuade their more bar
barous brethren that there WAS nothing

They report that the excitement still con-
tnues, but is abating somewhat, for the
reason that the authorities have used
stringent means by arresting the leaders

McGreror Observer

The farmers Of Texas have q new and
paying industry opened mp to them by
the Fort Worth pork paekery. No more
corn need to be sold for fifteen and
twenty cents as is often the case. There
Is no state in the Union where hogs are
as little subject to disease, or where pork
can be produced at less cost. Now that
the question of ready market is settled,
let US raise hogs. How many car loads

The day Of cheap watches has passed. The
country is flooded with them. THE GAZETTE,
abreast with the times, has resolved that every
one OF its subscribers shall have placed within
his reach watch of the best kind made-one
that he will be proud to wear and have comfort
in using.
Time was when the stop-watch with the split
second hand, used for timing horses on race
tracks, cost many hundred dollars and could be
afforded by only few. Time was when a gold
case OF sufficient thickness to protect watch
was out OF the range OF possibilities OF nearly all
men. The decrease in the cost OF manufacture
OF movements and the invention OF three sheet
NOW brings both these within the means of
many, and almost to the price which is charged
by swindlers for the gold washed limitations
and brass counterfeits of common watches. The
genuine ''gold-filed'' or Reinforced cases.
patented and made only by half q dozen manu-
facturers. are the same for use and wear solid
gold cases and may be so considered and treated.

LONDON, Oct. 24.-The Jack-the Ripper
scare has again caused sensation among
the police and residents OF the South
Hampstead locality. Tonight in a
secluded part of that neighborhood
passers by were shocked by finding in an obscure
alley the dead body Of a woman, whose head
had been nearly severed, while her body showed
evidence of kicks and bruises, in themselves
sufic ent to cause dea'h. While up to the
present time knowledge has been obtained
to who the victim was, il seems very evil
dent she was a woman of low repule,
and this was sufficient to start the cry
that Jack, the Ripper had been at work
again. The police actively began operations in
search for the murderer, but thus far ar
rests have been made.
