These, it will be seen, are merely
the millionaires; the wealthy men
whose capital falls a little short of
the million are not represented. Now
who are these men? With three or
possibly four exceptions, they are
known as millionaires. They repre-
sent only money. They have nothing
else to recommend them-nelther
craftsmanship or executive ability.
Their voices are rarely heard in de-
bate. They have furthered no i'm

4 Religious Riot.

ATHENS, May IA dispatch from Dante,
capital of the Ionian island of that name,
brings news of serious religious riot
which has taken place there. To-day was
observed by Greek Christians as Greek
Good Friday, and part of the ceremonies OF
the day consisted of q procession of Chris
tians who marched through the principal
streets. The processionists, however, were
never content with peaceful demonstration,
and when they neared the quarter of Dante
which is known as the Hebrew quarter the
Christians practically besieged that section
of the town, In order to guard against
such an occurrence a Gordon of soldiers had
been drawn around the Hebrew quarters,
and upon refusal Of the Christians to retire
in peace the soldiers fired on them, killing
and wounding several people. The Chris
tians, the dispatch adds, are now pillaging
the houses of the Hebrews at Dante, and
threaten to burn the Jewish quarter of the
town. 1t is supposed that the disturbances
at Dante have their origin in the disturb
ance which recently occurred ii Corfu.

Parliamentary Tilt.

LONDON, May 1.-The debate on the
governments Irish land purchase bill was
continued in the house of commons to-day
Several members of the Irish party which
acknowledged Mccarthy Us leader. con-
tiIued to discuss the proposed amendments
TO the bill. After they had carried on their
discussion for some little time ParneIl arose
from his seat, and addressing his remarks
10 the Irish members, advised them, in
view of the conciiiatory attitude of the GOV
eminent, to contine their debate to the im<
portant points of the measure in order that
the bill might pass the house more quickly
In response to Parnell's advice, Timothy
Healy, who is one of Parnell's bitterest
political opponents, retorted that Parnel
had been repudiated as representing Ire
land, and he declared that he would not be
guided by any direction given by Parnell.
Fitzgerald replying to Healy said that
Irishmen still recognized Parnell as their
representative and that they would never
be guided by Sexton or Healy.
After this little encounter had been con-
Guided, Parnell said that he Was quite in
different to what Healy might say. He,
however, must state what he thought was
best for Ireland with no regard as to
whether his statements eXasperated Healy
or not.
This interchange of views between OPP
posing Irish members created quite Il lively
scene in the house and brought cheering
and counter cheering from the supporters
of the members as they freely expressed
their opinions for or against Parnel as the
Irish leader

REALTY AND BUILDING.
THE CERTAINTY OF GOOD CROPS

The Outlook for Texas and Fort Worth
Bright-EGorts to Secure Encamp-
ment Grounds-Transfers,

Two well known real estate operators
who are in constant communication with
the East, said yesterday that the one thing
needed to cause activity in real estate was
the assurance of good crops. and both said
that thirty days would determine what
the crop would be. At present there IS
every reason to believe that the splendid
crops now growing will be harvested.
There is not sign of anything to cut the
crop of wheat, oats and other small grain
short. In addition TO this fat cattle will be
on the market in June. There are the best
of grounds TO believe that millions of dol

the next few months 10 move the crops in
Texas. In addition TO the immediate
benefit from fine crops is the immigra-

After years OF prominence before the
American people, during which she has
won the admiration and the love OF
that people. her most devoted friends
are now compelled to admit that the
peerless intellect and brilliant mind Of
this famous woman are now shrouded
in the darkness Of the black pail of pos
sibly hopeless insanity. For years she
has worked, and struggled, until over
taxed nature gave way and the brilliant
woman has sunk to the level of poor,
chattering maniac behind iron bars.
Ii is to be hoped that the present
phase Of the malady may be its
worst;that the observation of such won
derful talents is only temporary and
that rest and quiet will restore the shat
tered nerves and sooth the fierce fires
that now rage in the aching brain, but
that these shadows should rest, even
for little while, upon a woman, who
alone and unaided, by sheer force Of
talent and intellect has forced her way
into the foremost ranks of the leading
minds of the day, seems an act OF in
justice on the part of an inscrutable
providence.
The burden of her woe can be traced
back to the fierce storm OF criticism
and ridicule which beat upon her when
she adopted the stage as her profession.
Added to this the infamous treatment ac-
corded her by the Republican national
committee in the last presidential cam
paign, and the reason for the descent
into the darkness of insanity is plainly
apparent. No matter what may be the
personal opinions Of individuals as to
her grievances, the deepest sympathy
must be felt for the wonderfully gifted
woman through whose brain the black
shadows are drifting, obscuring the
shining talents and rendering the
heretofore strong, self-reliant woman a
weak, pitiable creature.
Friends should see that the woman is
given the best of care and attention.
Money should not be an object. The
great, generous heart Of the American
people throbs responsive to her suffer-
ings and Il shower OF gold will be forth
coming if it be needed. Anna Dickin-
sons work is not ended. She is the
living example of what any woman in
this broad land can do. Her example
has been shining light to thousands
of women suddenly thrown upon their
own resources. For their sake, for the
good that she may hereafter be able to
do, ii is to be hoped that the All Mer-
ciful Ruler Of the universe will vouch-
safe to her the boon OF restored reason
and bouyant health and that she may
again be her own pure. brave, heroic
self. ready to resume her labors for
the benefit of humanity.

AT THE FORKS OF THE ROAD.

The Waco meeting OF the Alliance
adopted, among others, this resolution:
1--WE, the undersigned do hereby pledge
ourselves on our sacred honor as men to
work for the promotion OF the above princl-
pies. with the view that they be incor-
porated into the law of the land; and
further agree to support no man for Office
who will not pledge himself, if elected, to
carry out these principles =
The ''above principles" referred to
were the enunciation OF principles
made in the Ocala platform. One Of
them reads thus:
eve demand that the government shall
establish sub-treasuries or repositories in
the several states, which snail loan money
direct to the people at a low rate Of interest,
not TO exceed per cent per annun, on non
perishable products and also upon real
estate, with proper limitations upon the
quantity of land and amount Of money"
It was the sense OF the leaders at the
Waco meeting that it was inadvisable
to go into an Independent third party
movement, but that the better plan was
TO endeavor TO reach their ends through
the Democratic party.
TO do these things, the Alliance
must get control of the Democratic
organization, by outyoting the Demo
Gratis in their primary meetings. They
must have Il majority Of delegates i'll
the state convention and make the
party platform conform to the Ocala
platform and the sub-treasury declara-
ton. This they have so clearly pledged
themselves to that they cannot shift
out of it.
But in order to take part in Demo
cratic meeting, they must bind them
selves 10 abide by the action OF the
party and support its nominee.
And this pledge they cannot give,
for they have already agreed that they
will support no man for Office who
will not pledge himself, if elected" to
carry out the demands of the Ocala
platform, sub-treasury and all.
1t looks like the Alliance politicians
have got themselves in a fix. They
will not go off in a third party: they
are still Democrats. They cannot
take part in Democratic convention,
being irrevocably committed to
scheme that the Democratic party will
not approve, and they have obligated
themselves TO support no Democrat
who does not fall in with their plans.
They are GOOD Democrats if the Demo-
cratic party abandons its principles
and comes over to them.
But if the Democrats wont do that,
what are they going to do about ii?

not. Senator Reagan has accepted and for
warded his resignation of his seat in con-
gress to Vice-President Morton and notified
his colleague, Coke, and will begin his COM
mission duties on the 10th of June. From
his letter of acceptance we extract the fol-
lowing:
Il make the sacrifice o. inclination and of
pecuniarv reward because the people OF Texas
nave SO long and SO often honored me that
feel it TO be my duty to serve in whatever ca
pacity it may be thought I can do most for
them in return"
Senator Reagan is man of principle
with thorough knowledge of the transpor-
tation question, acquainted with the needs
| OF the state and possessed of the peoples
confidence, he may be relied on TO do his
part toward keeping the commission
straight on the track" Commissioner
Foster is not so well known, but is spoken
OF as an able and fearless man, and well
fitted for the Office Bolton Reporter.
On the 25th Governor Hogg made public
his appointments for two of the railroad
commissioners. They are J. II. Reagan
and L. L. Foster. He also appointed Hor-
ace Chiffon OF Tyler to I'LL the vacancy in
the United States senate caused by the
resignation OF Reagan. The Alliance want
him to appoint S. D. \. Duncan OF Dallas
as the third commissioner; but 1t is more
than likely he will as usual ignore their
wishes Be!den Monitor.
In Governor Hogg's letter TO Senator
Reagan, urging him TO accept the position
of railroad commissioner he used this
clincher which may or may not mean that
the senator would be the governors sue
cessor: If you do so, feel confident that
the people Of this state will add to their
gratitude their deepest and everlasting
affection for ~ Paris Daily News.
Reagan has proven his patriotism by re-
signing his seat in the United States senate
to undertake the laborious, difficult and less
remunerative task of solving the tranSpor-
tatiOn problem in Texas, as 4 member of
the state railway commission. Reagan is
now an old man, and the Banners only fear
is that his physical strength and endurance
may not be sufficient for the work. Green
vile Banner.
There can be no question as TO Senator
Reagan's fitness for the position of railway
commissioner. There is perhaps no man in
teal railroad managers, who is more thor
oughly posted and more ably educated on
railroads and the subject of transportation
than John II. Reagan. This subject has
been the study of his life. He is, in real
ity, the father of the interstate commerce
bill and other railroad legislation that
shows his wisdom and familiarity with the
subject of transportation. Governor Hogg
displayed great foresight in placing Sena-
tor Reagan at the head OF the commission.
The letter of Senator Reagan on the SUBJ
ject is full of patriotism and shows IN IN
selfish devotion to the people of Texas, who
have so long honored him with their sup
port Waco News.

An Explosion.

PARIS, May lit is now raining here. All
was quiet until about noon, when there was
a scene of great excitement in the vicinity
of Rueberry. The cause of the tumult was
loud explosion, which broke windows all
around the locality mentioned. The streets,
happily, We're deserted at the time OF the
explosion, and consequently nobody was in
jured. No one seems to be able to explain
the motive for the explosion, which is said
TO have been caused by a bomb, or by dyna-
mite cartridges. With this exception, re-
ports received at the prefecture of the po-
lice from all other parts of Paris indicate
that the day is passing quietly. The court
yard of the Chateau Dellau barracks is
filled with cavalry waiting for the word to
mount and rally forth upon the disturbers
of the peace. Stores along boulevards are
open and all is serene in the main thorough
fares. Dispatches received from provinces
report state of general quiet.

larly to the ladies' reception committee,
also the following:
Resolved, that we accord to the press and
reporters our hearty approval and appre-
citation of the faithful manner in which the
proceedings of this association have been
reported.''
The above has ring very different from
the utterance of the Farmers Alliance
meeting respecting the press and reporters,
and yet the same papers were re-
ferred TO. That patient industry, which
reporters continually manifest was eXer-
cised with the Farmers Alliance in no less
degree than with the doctors. Reporters
OF the Farmers Alliance had no chairs TO
sit in, the table was crowed by persons who
were not concerned with the business, and
every conceivable embarrassment and him
drance was offered.
The doctors, with characteristic polite
ness, made smooth the way. overlooked the
faults and gave kind expressions.
Delegates to the American medical asso-
citation reported were: Drs. Wilkes,
Walker, Barker. Carhart and Minnock.

authorized to fill out the Texas representa-
lion.

under the auspices Of the Confederate
Veterans association of Miller county,

thousand people turned out to the cere-
monies. Maj. y. II. Sewer, an ex-Con-
federate, a member of the present Arkansas
legislature, and the man who introduced
the bill (now law into that body TO pen
sion disabled Confederate soldiers, was the
orator of the day. His address was an
eloquent and appropriate effort. and
was heartily applauded. He paid high
tribute 10 the Confederate soldiers, living
and dead, and also to the women Of the
South for the part they took in the lost
cause. He vigorously defended the Con-
federates against the charge of being
traitors and rebels, but declared the South
had accepted the results of the war in good
faith and that the Union was now as much
loved by the Southern people as by the
people of any other section of the country.
United States Senator Jones was eX-
pected to speak, but was unable to be pres
ent.
