FROM present appearances grain ele-
vators will follow the course OF oil re-
fineries. match factories. salt works,
and breweries. and fall into the hands
of trust. Already English syndicates
have obtained options on all the ele-
vators in several cities having large
grain trade. A combination TO secure
the ownership or control OF all
the elevators in a city will result in
raising the charges for storage. A
monopoly is created for the purpose Of
preventing competition and ofttimes
larger pay for poorer service, and il
rarely fails OF reaching the end for
which it was designed.

OK several western roads as much
money is received for carrying grain
rs for all other articles. 1t is anoma-
lous that railroad should provide
buildings for storing the other articles
it carries but neglects to provide
buildings for storing grain. ALI the
great trunk lines leading to the sea-
board have elevators at their eastern
termini, and all the trouble we have
here is obviated. The managers OF
some western roads say the companies
cannot own or control elevators be-
cause shippers and receivers Of grain
will ask for free storage. On this
principle they might decline TO carry
passengers because some people ask
for free passes.

Platform and Resolutions

Adopted by the Republican State
Convention held at Virginia City,
Nevada, September 4th 1890.
The record of the Republican party
is its best platform.
No political party in human history
has taken such advanced positions
for the equality of races, none has so
welded the administration of author
ity to the needs of business, none has so
managed the affairs of State as to
encourage the development and settle
ment of a continent, none has elevat-
ed a nation and so contributed to the
comfort and happiness of man, none
has so honestly and economically car
ried on the routine duties of office.
In all things it has been the direct
opposite of the Democratic party.
Grand in its ambitions and impulses,
firm and reSolute in its consistency,
strong in its devotion to principle, it
is now, as it mas been from its berth,
the Representatives Of all that is best
and noblest in its own country and
hope and promise of better future
for the human race.
Its battles for human rights, its pre-
servation of the Union, its abolition
of slavery, its protection to labor, its
elevation of manufacturers, its uphold
ing of the national credit, its efforts
in behalf of honest financial methots,
its homestead system. and its devotion
to popular education have made for it
the greatest record of any political or
ganization this or any other country
ever had.
The names of its heroes are legion,
and the deeds of Fremont, Lincoln,
Grant and Garfield will shrine like
electric lights on the pages of history.

THE Washington Star says that s'the unusual
dimensions assumed by the Southern trade in
New York this fall is credited by The wholesale
portation. due to the war between some of the
Southern steamship lines and the SouJhwes tern
railway companies, and the high rates
and promise OF a large cotton crop.
All reports concur in showing improve
ment in the Southern business situation. There
is some difficulty in reconciling this fact with
the undoubted dissatisfaction among thu
planters that has given rise to the sudden and
overwhelming Farmers Alliance movement.
The real explanation may consist in something
like this statement: The farmers in some states
and the city boomers in other portions of that
section are making money. Other people are
either not advancing or re retrograding. AS 3
general statement, however, it is likely there is
prosperity where the people have adjusted
themselves to new conditions, and stringency
where they have not. -
Lex talionis is somstimes a most eff
cient corrective OF abuses. If railroad
officials went on strike the situation
might be quite as serious. If there should
be combine of Railroad employers and
closing down of what they control, an
archy would run riot. Yet what Is the
difference whether the head or the hands
stop the machine that grinds out bread2

patronage the Suez canal was built, and
the effort made to bring under civilized
rule the land Of the Pharsohs, called the
Soudan. Immense loans were made and
projects entered upon that eventually
swamped Ismail in an ocean of indebted
ness. England interfered to protec,
British creditors of the khedive. The
upshot of it was that Ismail was deposed
and Tewtik, his son, made nominal
khedive, under an English protectorate.
Ismail was allowed an income on which
he lived in luxury until some time ago
he visited Constantinople, and his friend,
the sultan, who has in all probability

vogue among orientals. in all save his
extravaganza and profigacy Ismail was

A CALL
For Convention OF Texans Interested in
Developing the Manufacturing and Mer-
camille Interests of the State.

Fort WORTH CHAMBER OF COMMERCE.
SECRETARY 8 OFFICE.
FoRT WORTH, Tex, Aug. n, 1880. }
A convention of delegates from trade
ana manufacturing organizations, munio-
qualities and people interested in devel-
oping the manufacturing and mercantile
interests of Texas has been called to
meet in Fort Worth on September "a =,
1890, for the purpose of devising ways
and means TO induce capital to seek our
state and accom- plish this object.
The advantage TO accrue to the people
of Texas by having our raw material,
found in endless quantity IN this state,
manufactured into merchantable COM
mOditieS must be patent to every mind
that has given the subject careful con-
sideration. Manufacturers are disposed
to come to our state, capitalists are ia
vorably disposed, but there has been no
united action TO place before them the
facts about our resources and the vast
field open to them and wholesale mer-
chants. This convention Is called to
meet the demand made upon the state.
1t is proposed to have Eastern and
Northern manufacturers and capitalists
present at our deliberations. Governor
Ross has expressed q willingness to CO.
operate in the matter.
To this end you are cordially invited
and requested TO send one or more dele
gates from your organization, munich
pality or county to this convention.
Efforts viii be made to arrange with the
railway companies for reduced rates to
delegates and others who attend. As
the time is short we respectfully urge
immediate action and request thut you
send to the secretary of the Fort Worth
chamber of commerce the numes of
those selected to represent you IN the
convention.

. ,SMUTTY SMTSER.

Another bomb exploded In Republican
ranks. Congressman Cooper's resolu-
| tion calling for the dismissal of Repre-
| sentative Smyser from the Raum investl-
| eating committee directs attention once
more to the inherent rottenness of the
majority party in the house. No one
had any faith in the honesty of the pur-
pose forced upon the speaker of inresti-
eating the corruptions in the pension of
fee. From the beginning it was looked
upon as q cold blooded plan to white
wash the commissioner. No one sup
posed for a moment that the arch knave
of the house would harm his friend, the
knave of the pension bureau, unless
there WAS some personal or party advan-
tage in SO doing, which did not appear.
But If any one was credulous enough
to suppose that the investigation was not
q fake, the fact that Smyser, one of the
committee named by Reed, is a stock
holder in Raum g refrigerator company
is enough to dispel the Illusion. Reed
denies, of course, any knowledge OF the
fact, and regrets that an interested party
was put upon the committee. But moth
ing in Reed s character or reputation
requires US 20 believe or put any faith
whatever in his explanations, or profess
sions OF regret over the appointment.
1t is possible of course, that he was
ton ,f hn nINa
between Raum and Smyser, but the
appointment of the latter gentleman on
the investigating committee has fear
fully suspicious appearance, and if it
was not knowingly made, was most
remarkable coincidence.
But if Reed was gulltless what is to be
said of smyser? Wac he too ignorant of
his partnership with Raum in the refrig-
orator swindle-for it was said some time
ago that the refrigerator was a bogus
contraptiou-or had he merely for
gotten the circumstance of his
connection with it? What excuse can
his friends make for him2 He admitted
that he is q partner of Raum's by
promptly resigning his place on the COM |
mlttee as soon as the exposure Of the fact
is made.
or course 1t is needless to say
that no honorable man would have done ,
as this smutty Smyser did. II he was
not a corrupt rascal, he would never
have allowed Reed to put him on the in
vestigating committee. This disgracefuI
affair throws additional light upon tn.
pant in the house under the demoralizlug
rule of Reed, Cannon s Co.
