MCD0UGAlLS' SHEEP DIP.

McDougalls' non.polsOnous sheep dip and
cattle dressing, scab specific and insect eX-
terminator on sheep, cattle, horses, dogs,
poultry, etc, has been used with great success
In this county for several years. 1t instantly
eXterminates all ticks, lice and maggOts; is
the only true specific for scab and finely
stimulates the growth of the fleece, making
its use very profitable. When used at II
special strength ii also waterproofs the ficeces,
thus atforling the animals great protection
from cold and wet. In the United States,
Great Britain and many places abroad it is
now generally adopted-having to large
extent displaced the use of tobacco, arsenic,
lime and sulphur, and poisonous mixtures.
1t has important advantages over such dress
ings and is more certain in its action. For

United States Senator W. F. Sanders of
Montana, who is now here, is exceptionally
well informed on mining. He lives at
Helena, and tells much that adds signif-
canoe to the discovery.
1T is true" he said yesterday, ''that the
English gentlemen have taken hold of the
property. Il was first brought to their at
tentiou through E. V. Smaley, but the
ground was largely worked over first for
gold. The diggings lie on both sides Of the
mission, and comprise several old placer
bars once known as Eldorado bar. AS far
back as twenty years ago sapphires and
rubies were found here. Several diamonds
have also been found and they were very
good ones. too.
1T is only in recent years that the sap
phires and rubies have been found in large
numbers. They are now very pl ntiful,
and believe, as the dispatch states, that
outside of South Africa there is nothing to
compare with this field in the quantity and
quality of the product.

ONE result of the election is that IL
brings Mr. Mckinley prominently to
the front as the Republican candidate
for president in 1892. He won his fight
in Ohio as the leader of the party on
the Mckinley tariff bill, and logical
sequence of this is, that with the Re-
publican party indorsing, as it will at
its next convention, protection, Kc-
Kinley should be the candidate. 1t is
a fact well known to those who attended
the last Republican convention that
Mckinley could have been nominated
at any time if he would have consented
to play the same role that James A.
Garfield did. He was the leader OF the
Ohio delegation just as Garfield was IN
1880. and time and again, during the
protracted fight which lasted nearly
week. Mckinley was begged to allow
his name to go before the convention
and assured that if he did SO he would
be nominated. The writer OF thl:
article was present on more than one
occasion when this occurred.

THE IRISH RIOTS.

1t is anything in the world but cred
liable to the memory of Parnen that
his friends in Ireland should counte-
nance, if indeed they do not encourage.
the unseemly and disgraceful rioting
carried on in the name of the dead
statesman. According to the startling
statements made publicly by John Dill
lon this week at the city OF Waterford,
the very men who are now melting mob
violence against the McCarthyites
offered him the leadership OF the Irish
party when Gladstone refused to recog-
nize Parnell as any longer fit to be its
leader. If this be true, and there is no
good reason to doubt it, Redmond and
his Parnellite friends are now playing
q very shutting and cowardly role.
What is all this rioting and cracking
of heads about? A mere sentiment.
Fort Worth gazette. [volume] (Fort Worth, Tex.) 1891-1898, 1891-11-10

Fealty to the memory OF dead leader,
and not loyalty TO a cause that might
possibly profit by it, prompts the Weld
ing of the backthorns in manner so
promiscuous. It is not in the interest
of any cause, for the cause in which
Parnell gained his fame, that's parlla-
mentary and constitutional agitation
ofthe home rule question, is now in safe
keeping with the McCarthyites, who
represent whatever OF responsibility
there is in the island. The rioters
comprise the blackguard and bum
element of the cities. This Is IN the
main the class that is hurrahing for
Parnell. 1t is also the c-ass when,
early in his career, opposed his consti-
tutlonal and peaceful methods OF agita-
ton, preferring to bully England into
compliance with their wishes by lib
eral use of dynamite, and the shooting
of landlords. 1t is now the irony OF
fate that these fellows whom Parnell
brought into subsection through the
Land League, and other similar Or
carnations, are now doing all they can
in his name to embarrass the very
cause which Parnell built up, and In
whose interest he, and not Secretary
Balfour, reduced them to peaceful. and
law-abiding citizens.
The rioting Parnellites are chiefly
the old rufianly, dynamiting gangs OF
the cities. The McCarthyites repre-
sent the people OF Ireland and thei'
cause. The Parnellites have neither
cause nor leader, and are without
responsibility, even in numbers. 1t Is
easy enough to make a choice between
| them.

JOBBiNG SCHEME FOOLED.
Clever Attempt to Manipulate Wall Street
Discovered in Time.


NEW York. Nov. 9.-Before the rumor
respecting change for the worse in the
condition of Jay Gould got circulation on
Wall street Yesterday the brokers had mys-
FERROUS talk ABOUT possible failures OF banks
in Chicago. Banking houses here sent DIS
patches of inquiry to Chicago and received
replies emphatically de wing that any
trouble existed. The general opinion was
that the bears had started the stories IN
p1lrsuance of a campaign against stock val
ues. taking advantage of he unquiet eau ed
bv the Developments in Boston. This theory
was supported by the discovery OF an anon
ynous attack upon the credit of the First
national bank of Chicago, an institution as
secure. in the opinion OF bankers, as the
Chemical bank of this city. Inc strength
of the Chicago bank warrants the use OF Its
name in exposing desplcable olachinall, or
something worse.
Wednesdays mail brought number of
hank presidents of this city a typewriter
letter dated Washington, November 2, stat
ing in substance THAT the First national
| bank of Chicago will (would) be closed this
week" The letters were carried on spe-
| cial delivery stamps and might have been
| forwarded by a messenger on election day
! and then mailed so as to arrive here
| Wednesday morning in time, il the scheme
| succeeded, to affect the stock market. Inc
| tvpe-writteu letters had a place cut out
| where the signature should be, and 1t Is
| supposed that the wretches who concocted
it originally intended to put some name al
| the end of the letter, but feared afterward
that this might lead to detection. Bankers
| here paid little attention to the anonymous
sheets because of the absurdity OF the at,
tack made on the Chicago institution. II
| was not until Yesterdays rumors about
| "possible troubler in Chicago became cur
rent that the anonymous communication
was recalled by the men who had received
it. and then it was evident that stock ma
nipulation probably had hand in the at
| fair. There were then some decided e1
pressions of the Infamous character of the
transaction and the disseminators OF the
outrageous communica tons may be fount
out in consequence of the feeling aroused

Governor Hogg's earnest efforts to ut
terlv squelch mob law in Texas viii be zeal
ousiy supported by every true and loyal
Democrat When that incubus is success
fully removed, it is to be hoped that his eX-

ergies along the line OF general moral and
political rectitude, but will then proceed 10
discriminate some of the lesser evils that
run riot over our beloved state. Pistol
carrying. gambling, considerable political
corruption and San Antonio's Sunday law
unto herself should all come in for large
and well directed charge of the governor
well directed reformation cannon. The MOD
law proclamations are having good effect

power came directly under our personal OBJ
srryation a few days since in county IN

committed one of the most heinoUs and vile
crimes known 10 humanity, and sweeping
uudercurrent of mob law was abroad III the
country, but cooler heads suggested GOV
ernor Hogg's wrath, as it would be directed
against them. and it worked like charm.

stances is positively inevitable Let the

TAXING PETER FOR PAUL's BENEFIT

Our esteemed, though atrabilious,
pinv-woods contemporary, the Crockett
Courier, is quite angry with The GA
zETTE, because The GAZETTE does not
agree with the Courier, or the editor
of the Courier, on the alien land law
ouestion-nor on several other ques-
tions, as far as that goes-so the
Courier is worked up to a state OF
mind that is painful to see.
The editor OF the Courier calls at
tention to the fact that Tarrant county
gets more from the distribution OF the
school fund than it pays to that fund
lust as does the county which the
editor of the Courier honors with his
presence. THE GAZETTE does not
understand that the relative position
or conditions o. Tarrant and Houston
counties have anything to do with the
matter. We must make the com
| harrison between West Texas, OF which
Tarrant is part, and East Texas, Of
which Houston county is part. Then
it will be found that West Texas pays
in more to the school fund than it getS
from that fund, while East Texas, in
GLIDING the habitat OF the editorla
sponsor of the Courier, gets more from
that fund than it pays in. In othel
words, the West pays taxes to a com
mon fund. while the East draws upor
this fund for the education of it
Children large majority OF then
being negro children, whose parent
pay no taxes. That is all that I'LL
GAZETTE has asserted and it is vel
borne out by the facts. 1t shows tina
East Texas, as whole, exacts tribut
from the counties OF West Texas TO
educational purposes, as Rome exacte
tribute from its provinces to feed it
wealth and strength.

THE victory in New York assumes
larger proportions. Mr.. Flower car
ried the state by over forty-three thou
sand majority, Notwithstanding the
fact that his vote in New York city was
not as large by some thousands as the
vote for Hill. OF course the Republic
cans claim that this was fight on
state issues. They seem to forget that
while ex-President Cleveland aud Gov
ernor Hill were speaking from plat
forms in New York city on national is
sues, they were speaking to the whole
state, for their speeches were printed in
full and thousands of them dissent
mated in every section. The fight
was on national issues and, as ex-presi-
dent Cleveland justly said, is an in
dorsement of the Democratic idea in
regard to reform in the tariff.
