ABOUT FORT WORTH.

Trying to Do-Notes Of
Progress.
FACTS AND FIGURES.

FACTS AND fIVVhESs
THE GAZETTE has taken occasion to
tell its readers that Fort Worth was the
most prosperous city in Texas; that there
was more wealth her per capita than In
any city In the state and that more peo-
pie owned homes here than elsewhere.
1t has also shown that Fort Worth had
the largest per oentage Of white popula-
tion shown by any Texas city. Now
comes the 1880 manual of investments =.

THE lily white Republicans of Texas
have had taste of the medicine given
by their party to the white people of the
South from 1865 to 1874, and they write
and feel as Caucasians ever do when
dominated by inferiority. What God
Almighty has stamped upon the brain
and heart, and hair and skin, no pollt-
ical party can effacs. The Caucasian
cannot be subordlnated to an inferior
race, and the lily white Republicans of
Texas do but assert the claim of superb

NOT SECTIONAL.

The National Alliance at Ocala took
later occasion to give still more formal
shape to its antagonism to sectlonalism
as manifested in the force bill and
measures of that sort. The only OBJ
jecror seems to have been Mr.. WAR
DELL, Of South Dakota, who has as
piratiOns to go to the senate by means of
the Alliance. He did not indicate per-
sonal opposition to the declaration, but
was timid over the Republican attacks
it would afford pretext for. The oh :.
lection was inconsiderate, as the politi-
cal future of the Alliance will be very
considerably shaped by the antagonism
of the Republican party. If it has any
sympathetic cords extending into that
organization the excuse for its exist
ence becomes reduced to meager pro-
portions. The declaration of objects
set forth leads directly away from
the Republican party. The organs of
the latter have been busy getting
the Ocala range, and are now
as hostile in spirit as they are to the
Democratic party. In fact, they insist
that the Democrats and ConfederateS
are in the Alliance saddle and its path
leads towards the Democratic camp.
They call upon the men who have gone
from them into the new political party
to look to Florida ana not allow them
selves to become 1.-The tools of Southern
bourbons." That shows intense alarm,
and that they have only the methods of
party prejudice and sectional traditions
to operate with. One Of the good re-
suits OF the Alliance movement will be
to give more independence and freedom
of thought. 1t is a good sign when
voters look beyond mere names and
knnsu tuhat they are voting for 1t *

ity voter divides his ballot one and half
votes to each of his party candidates.
In such cases, if there is but one minor
ity party, all the candidates are elected,
the result being virtually decided by
the nominating convention. Where
they are more equally divided, each
party puts up two candidates and the
tickets are printed one and half votes
for each name. The smaller parties
plump their three votes for single
man, and if they have more than one
fourth of the total poll, elect him. This
is the way the farmers organization in
that state has elected three members of
the lower house and hold the balance of
power on joint ballot, although not able
to elect 4 senator. The experience in
that state has been that no party has
ever been able to elect ali the three
members. which would take over three
fourths of the vote. Every district has
had one Republican and one Democrat,
and the third member has been of the ma
jority party. Neither party has ever
had two-thirds majority in the legis-
lature, and that is virtually impossible
i'll the present division of parties in that
state, but the representation in the pop
ular branch has been in close ratio to
the general strength of the parties.
There has not in the twenty years been
any serious effort to change the system,
which may be taken as evidence that it
gives fair satisfaction to the voters.
Under the present apportionment in
this state there are tifty-four legislative
districts, with one senator in each, but
curious disregard of any uniformity
in the ratios of the two houses. There
are seventeen of the districts that have
but one representative, while others
have two, three. and even four. The
minority plan could not be applied we'll
to districts having less than three mem-
bers. 1t may be. favorable time for
its consideration in this state, as the out
look for parties is good deal mixed.
