INDIANA POLITICs.

Mr.. T W Sargent, interested in coal
mines in Aurora, Ind, was seen by What
Not yesterday and stated that Indiana was
sick Of the gentleman who utterly failed to
grace his grandfather's hat He said: If
Mr. Harrison is reuominated he will be de-
feated in Indiana if the proper men are put
a. the lead of the Democratic ticket
What-Not-"Who do you think will make
q strong Democratic fight in Indiana2"
Mr. Sargent-"Wel, it makes very little
difference who is nominated for president
Indiana will vote for wooden man if Gov
ernor Gray is on the ticket for vice-presi-
dent. Gray is regarded by his fellow citi-
zens as the only American citizen who is
mentally equal to Thomas A. Hendricks,
and there is no doubt but that ne can carry
Indiana with whoOp."
Naturalization do the people of In
diana look upon Cleveland"
Mr.. Sargent-"Previous to his silver let
ter he was prime favorite; but the Demo
cratic plat form must contain free silver
plank in order 10 secure the shifting Indiana
vote, which amounts 20 about 10000 votes,
and am Of the opinion that wisdom would
prornnt me nomination of some other MN
say Hill or Campbell. However Gray
can carry Indiana on any kind of plat
form, and he - now spoken Of in every
section OF the stair as a candidate for vice
president. notwithstanding the fact that no
remark ms ever been made 70 him that
would lead TO this impression"

II. B. Gamble. representing the Philadel-
phia Shoe and Leather Facts, Il journal de-
voted to the leather industry of the United
States, is in Fort Worth. He states that
he has travelled all over the South and finds
the finest soil in Texas. While he thinks
Texas has j very bright future, he said that
the people Of South Carolina We're, in his
opinion, the most courteous, hospital and
chiralrous people in the world. They
lack, - he said, the progress and enter
prise Of the people of Texas; but with all
their slothfulneSS they are grand people
the highest type Of American citizenship"
Referring TO Texas, he said: Your state
is too large, and predict that it will not be
many years until It will be cut up into four
states. The country is filing up rapidly,
and the people Of the eastern and southern
portions of the state will soon find that their
interest are at variance with the people of
the northern and western portions of the
state This will breed discomfort, which
will eventually end in division. However,
think this will be Of advantage TO your
people. OF course, it will increase the ey-
pense Of the state governments but each
section can then legislate without wrangle,
your people Will be more contented, and
your power in national affairs viii be
greatly augmented. Texas is now the
largest state in she Union, and presents a
magnificent spectacle; but it will be i'm
possible to assimulate the Inultifarious in
forests through one state government"

A PERMANENT advance OF even half
4 cent pound in cattle will make the
business profitable. and SO much of an
advance appears to be guaranteed,
with great probability that it be
twice as much. II we suppose that the
business has been conducted at mar
gin that left no profit, but only let the
cattlemen out without loss, a half a
cent advance would mean that much
gain ana profit of So on a thousand
pound steer. Last year Texas sold
probably million cattle. \ profit Of,
say, $3.50, on each OF million head Of
cattle means 50, 800, 600 surplus in the
pockets Of our cattle raiserS. Even
that would raise a little boom.

the Lack Of social relations. Mr.. Bow
ems scheme is TO acquaint that immense
market, the profit OF which is now
reaped by foreign nations, with our
products by means Of floating exposi-
ton. The idea is TO send samples Of
our goods TO those cities that are now
so little acquainted with this country's
products, and do it now when trade
there is comparatively undeveloped.
The facts that confront business man
will prejudice him in favor Of the
scheme. Advertising has been reduced
to science, and whatever attracts and
pays must be not only unique but COM
prehensive. Mr.. Bowen's idea has that
merit, and would be especially valuable
at this time, when the Columbian expo
sition is just in front, as an avant
courier Of that grand object lesson.
This country has the manufacturing ca
pacity TO place the 81 per cent OF i'm
ports in Brazil instead OF the per
cent as at present. The money and the
brains are in the country. The one
thing necessary is thorough acquaint-
ance of the Latin states with our prices
and products. Mr. Bowen's scheme is
attractive and comparatively inexpen-
sive, as well as practical and to the

Speaking of the race for mayor in Chi
caso, Mr.. Charles Workman, who is traV-
cling in Texas for his health, after favor
ably referring to Texas and predicting for
the state bright future, said: Garter
Harrison is very popular man in Chicago
and l am OF the opinion that he will defeat
Mr.. Cregier, the regular nominee, who has
given the people u very poor adminiStra-
ton. This contest is raging with such
ferceness on account Of the Worlds fair,
as ;he business men desire TO elect Il man
who can rule the city with credit when the
fair comes of. The mayor OF Chicago has
over two thousand positions 10 I'LL, ranging
il salaries from $50 to 5000 per month, and
there IS machine in the city that is ambi-
tious to control these Offices. Under Cregier
the machine had absolute sway; but Carter
Harrison is an independent, fearless kind
of man and has antagonizsd the machine
for some time. This makes g neat little
row between the Democratic factions, and
the business men, in order to secure good
mayor during the fair, took advantage Of
the split to enter Elmer WashbUrn in the
race. While am q Republican, l favor
Washburn, because think he is q su-
perior man; but / really think that Carter
Harrison Will be elected, and he has proven
by his past record that he is an able man"

CATION by him.

Hon. Daniel Dougherty was presented on

in the archbishop's residence.
There is now in the possession Of John
Deery Of Dubuque, Iowa, an oil painting

It was recently found among the debris in
the ruined palace of the bishops at an
ancient Spanish mission near Santa Fe, \.
NJ. In the center is the figure OF the
Savior, bearing the cross, Around are
massed crowd of figures Roman soldiers,
weeping women and apostles. Prominent
in the left cluster stands St Veronica, who
is holding the napkin On which is faint
impression of the Savior's face. The
grouping is said by critics TO be entirely
original. The coloring is deep and rich,
and scarcely faded by time. The painting
is undoubtedly hundreds of years old and is
believed to be by one Of the old Italian
masters.

THE action Of the Italian govern
ment in recalling their minister, Baron
Fava seems nasty and ill-advised. The
supreme court OF the United States by
a recent decision has declared that
state courts are empowered to adjust
cases involving a violation Of law
within the state, and it would therefore
seem that when foreign power expects
the Federal government to take action
upon matters within the jurisdiction of
the state before the local courts have
concluded their work any act on the
part Of such government is not only
premature, but shows lack OF knowl-
edge Of the genius Of this government.

THE SOUTH AMERICAN TRADE.

In general way the reading public
are aware Of the immense market that
lies south of the Gull OF Mexico and the
Rio Grande, but only those who are
specially interested realize TO what an
extremely limited extent the United
States supplies that demand. The mar
ket IS measured by nearly 100000, 900,
while our exports to South America in
1883 were less than $50, 100000 and at
the same time our imports from there
reached So, 100000. Only per cent Of
Argentines imports and s per cent Of
Brazil's come from this country, which
is potentially the greatest manufacture
ing nation on the globe. These coun-
tries are Just opening up, and the mag
nifcent trade that will result, it has
been said, belongs to u.s." Perhaps
the most unique scheme that has been
suggested for the purpose OF attracting
the Central and South American buyers
to our wares is that of George 6. Bowen,
who is not unknown to the business
men OF this city. The scheme is the
result Of logical reasoning from exist
ing circumstances, and the lack of COM
mercial relations is rightly charged to

SOMEBODY MUST BACK DOWN.

BY the received rules OF the law be-
tween nations, the withdrawal Of an
ambassador or G representative minis
ter Of one country from another is re-
garded as an evidence OF such I'm
friendly feeling as to be equivalent,
almost, to a declaration Of war. The
ambassador is the pledge of friendship,
and his withdrawal or recall is official
notice that friendly relations are no
longer desired. Though this is not an
actual entrance upon hostilities, war is
the logical result, if the diplomacy Of
the two nations at variance cannot
pretty quickly explain the cause OF dis
pute and come to q better under
standing.
This is why the officials and diplo-
mats at Washington are so much dis
turbed at the withdrawal OF the Italian
minister. Its meaning is, that the
Italian government is not satisfied with
the action of this government in deal
ing with the New Orleans iynchers,
and no longer wishes to stand in
friendly relations with the United
States, unless prompter action is taken
to punish the men who lynched the
Italian assassins.
AS the national government has
nothing to do with the punishment of
these men, it is not in q position to sat-
isfy the Italian government, even II it
wished to do so; and the New Orleans
authorities, if they do anything at all
in the matter, cannot bring the leaders
of the mob to trial for year or more,
if delay is insisted on by the defense.
In this posture OF affairs, King Hum
bert must get down off his high horse,
or trouble is likely to ensue.

PEACE DECLARED,

6la cents per pound for L.. 10 luLs,d cents.
for l9. pounds, - cents f1r pounds and
~ cents for 81 pounds, has been
accepted. Those are the maximum prices
and competition may reduce them. II IS
thought that this means the sale in advance
of bagging for 1T IsLst oEr-half of The
cotton crop Heretofore farmers have
obcyed the Alliance. although il caused
them to buy cotton basEiur ii over q
dollar per bale extra cost. Row tia. the
price of jute bagging IS reduced, The Al
lance men viii accept i. The cUrdage
company represents all but one Of the ute
bagging factories in the trust two years
ago. the factory left cut said to be Localized
at Charleston. The action of the Alliance
leaves the farmers free to buy cotton bag
Eing if they prefer. but is iu.u is cheaper,
but few of them, it is believed, will buy
cotton bagging.

The recorded transfers yesterday show
that number of buyers are in the market
and although the purchases made are not
very heavy they indicate that people are
buying home sites and find Fort Worth
property good investment. A number OF
residences are being erected in all quar-
tiers of the city, but many more could be
built 10 advantage. The building and loan
associations are doing good work in this di-
rection. The youngest association, the
Builders loan and savings, which has
been in operation seven months with $780,
600 paid up stock, has already built four
teen houses and is making monthly loans.
All the older associations are doing well.
The money being saved By orr people

over 81 600 600. The building associations
