REALTY AND BUILDING.
AN EASY WAY TO INCREASE OUR
POPULATION.
Many Prominent Citizens Join the Cham
Der of Commerce-New Committee
on cturins-Transfers.

There IS more than one man in Fort
Worth today who comes from the North to
look out for investments. These men see
what many Fort Worth people see. and
that is that real estate has reached rock
bottom figures, and that this is the time to
buy Outsiders realize even better than
sanguine home people do that Fort Worth
Will continue to grow and that il will be
big city. The addition of 10000 people to
our population would extend our confines
far beyond where they are to-day. and the
addition OF y, 900 people would make North
Fort Worth and Arlington Heights pop
ul0uS. while It would increase the number
Of our business houses at least p per cent
The things that will bring this population
are here and would alone add the 10000 20
our population in time. but there are many
otner things that could be done by the cit
Zens OF Fort Worth that would bring adj
diJiOnal population much sooner, il the
and Child can do something to build up
Fort Worth. If the men OF Fort
Worth would buy Fort Worth made
clothes, shoes and shirts, and smoke
Fort Worth made cigars they would add
hundreds to the population IN twelve mouths
If the ladies OF Fort Worth would buy
everything they can buy In Fort Worth
the crackers, brooms, lard, hams. blankets.
furniture, dresses, etc.-they would add
hundreds to the population of Fort Worth.
If the children would ask for and buy moth
ing but Fort Worth candy and chewing
gum they would add scores tC the pOpula-
lion in twelve months. This action on the
part Of our people would not only give labor
10 many who are already here, but would
bring others who would be needed in the
factories we already have. There are
broom factories here. yet Fort Worth buys
hundreds Of dozens of brooms made in the
North. Fort Worth spends from 81, 000 10
$50 0o0 annually for shirts, out nearly all of
this money goes East. If onc-haif the
.rade for the one article of shirts was done
with home people it would Civ employ
ment TO forty people every day in the year
Ii men who smoke scent cigars would buy
Fort Worth made goods al least 100 cigar
makers would ne kept busy every day in
the year. To DO this requires no capital, il
simply requires that our citizens say to the
merchants, we want F'ortNorth made goods
and viii take no others. The people of
Fort Worth have it in their power to III
crease the population of this city very ma
terially and in the most natural way posi-
bic. and without the cost of an additional
dollar, in fact it would be the most pro
nounced economy.

The officials Of the board of trade are
watching the methods of inquiry of the
United States immigration commissioners.
1t is believed that the inquiry will result in
the appointment of American inspectors at

English government Officers will be in

TO secure reforms for regulating the tide of

that there is 70 necessity for special

THE TENNESSEE AGREEMENT.

The truce agreed upon between the
governor of Tennessee and the Brice-
vile miners guarantees peace until the
legislature can be got together to re-
peal the obnoxious convict lease law.
The governor will get the legislature in
session as soon as he can and demand
of them repeal OF the law. This ar
rangement is possibly the best that
could be entered into in the circum-
stances, and it promises the most salts
factory settlement of the veXed convict
labor question. By the terms agreed
upon the governor is enabled without
bloodshed to maintain the raw. That
law, though bad one, could not be
violated without also violating the
faith of the state, and as a matter Of
principle it had to be sustained.
But what if the legislature, after
being convoked, shall fail to give the
des ired and expected relief by repeal
ing the law? \ horse may be led TO
water, but he cannot be made to drink
The governor may call the legislature
together in special session, but he
cannot compel them to any action. His
part as member Of the Legislative de-
partment is only negative part. He
can veto and defeat L law that he dis
approves Of, but he cannot have any
part in the enactment OF such laws as
he desires. In calling a special SEES
sion he exhausts his power. f the leg
stature refuses to repeal the convict
law, the governor will have carried
out his part OF the bargain, but the
miners will be no better off. and. then

THE LAST STRAW.
ParnelI Politically Buried by
Dillon and O'Brien.
HE Is NO LONGER AN ISSUE.
VIII Soon Dwindie Down TO a Leader of a
Faction of the old Fenian 1Tspe--Ens-
land AFRAID of Alien Paupers.
Some Grounds for 1t.


TCopyr!ghted by the Associated Press1
LONDON, July 31.-Messrs. Dillon and
O'Brieus reputation of Parnell, though !!
fOregone conclusion, has profoundly de
pressed the Parnellites, who relied upon the
belief that both would suspend public pro-
nouncement Parnell sought, through
private communications made on the eve
of their release, to resume negotiations,
but neither responded to these secret over
lures. Parnell hoped until the last moment
Yesterday that he would entangle them in
maneuvers for reunion. Their prompt, de-
cisiVe declarations as soon as they were
outside the prison doors, and their refusal
to listen to any advances from
the Parnelites, fell like death-blow. The
factions last flicker of hope went out when
Lord Mayo of Dublin and other devoted
Parnelites yainly tried 10 induce
O'Brien, who was supposed to be
more ductie than MIR. Dillon, TO
reconsider his position; O'Brlen b!untly
declined renewal of the Cologne negotia-
tions Of any approach thereto. When the
attitude of the released leaders became
definitely known, the chief Dublin
Parnellites held a meeting privately and
had Il warm time disputing over
the course they should take. Intimation
reached them OF the dcsertiOn of the party
organs in Dublin and Belfast and several
members of the Parnellite committee with
drew, leaving the steadfast adherents TO
pass a resolution denouncing Dillon aud
OBricn and urging Parnel not TO
yield To-day Parnen tclegraphed to the
committee that the detection on every side
would not make him alter his course
hairs breadth. He proposed on Sunday to
speak at Thurles, the strongest eccle-
siastical center in Ireland, probably
anew to hurl defiance at the bishops
and TO prophesy success for his future
efforts He asked his friends to fill up the
gaps left in the committee by deserters.
Another directorate is forming, aspiring to
found daily paper on the Parnell pence
principle One Dublin evening organ
remaining faithful appeals to the
party 10 rally and not to sue
cumb at this stage of the
fight. But the truth now penetrating the
stoutest Parnellite hearts is that their case
is nigh extinct, and that it viii be
useless to continue the struggle. If con-
tinued it will no longer have a CON
stitutional charter. The position of
the league sections now adhering to
Parnell points to a revision OF faction of
the Fenian type 1t is safe 10 predict that
Parneli will soon appeal for support for
revolutionary partisans at home and abroad.

A NEW DEPAETURE.

A new departure in English politics
was foreshadowed the other day in q
speech made by Prime Minister Sails
bury before the United club. 1t ap-
peared in the proposition TO extend the
electoral suffrage to women, and was
received by both club and country with
surprise. England, like the United
States, has had for years her woman's
rights agitators, and their propositions
for an extension of the suffrage have
for years been brought to the attention
Of parliament in one form or another,
only to be rejected. Never before has
any prime minister or either Of the two
great parties of the realm adopted that
question as a political issue. Hence
the surprise that it should meet with
favor at the hands of Tory minister,
when it is well known that the Tory
party has been the traditional defender
of the kingly prerogative and opposed
to what are known as popular rights
and privileges.
But Salisbury finds himself in a
doubtful position, and is evidently
willing TO take another step in the d.
reclion of Liberalism, to play the role
of Disraeli. who. under similar embar-
RAISING surroundings. stole the cloth
ing of the Liberals when in swimming.
His idea is TO limit manhood suf-
frage by taking the franchise from the
illiterate voter, and bestowing it on
women. This latter will be done so as
to bring 10 the Tory party the vote OF
that class OF women who are known to
be in sympathy with it. Salisbury
idea is not womanhOod suffrage. for
that would leave matters practically
where they are now. He is. there
fore, actusted less by the principle OF

THE CAUSE OF 1T.

According to Ex-Governor st John Kan
Sas consumes yearly but one gill of liquor
10 each person. while tie average cOnsump-
ton in New York state is twenty-five gal
| Ions. and in Pennsylvania over twenty gal
Ions. Yet the latter states have money to
lend in abundance, while in Eansas the
taxes en- scarcely be collected. The
Apostle of Prohibition should search else
where for his horrible examples Phila-
dclphia Record.
Both of these statements may be
true: New York and Pennsylvania may
drink hundred times as much whisky
and beer as Kansas. and may have
money to lend while Kansas IS Dor
rover: and yet there is not necessarily
any connection between them. If the
Record means TO say that in conse-
quence OF the people OF New York
drinking twenty-five gallons Of liquors
per head they are prosperous, while
the people OF Kansas are poor as a re-
suit of drinking only one gill apiece, it
makes an assertion that it can get no
backing for.
The people of New York and Penn
sylvania are wealthy because they are
chiefly engaged in business that the
government protects from competition,
and the people Of Kansas are poor be-
cause they have TO buy OF those New
York and Pennsylvania fellows.
Laws enacted by the government
give the manufacturers OF New York
and Pennsylvania a monopoly of the
home market. They add to the cost of
production the margin of protection
given by the protective tariff, and sell
ing at this large profit they lay up
money to lend. No protective laws can
give fictitious profits to the Kansas
agriculmrist. He must sell his. wheat
and corn in competition with the world,
and take what he can get.
These are the reasons why New York
is lending money and Kansas is bor-
rowing. The consumption OF liquors
has nothing to do with it.

SPANISH RECIPROCITY.
Diplomatic Correspondence in Regard to

Promise to the Minister.

Washington, July 31-The Spanish re-
ciprocity treaty and diplomatic correspon-
dence in regard to it were made public to-
day. The correspondence preceding the
PRONUNCIATION of the treaty was begun by
Secretary Blaine, who in letter bear
ing date OF January 3, 1891, transmitted
a copy of the existing tariff law to Senior
Suarez Guanes, Spanish minister, and re-
quested that the attention of his govern
ment be called to it, with a view to adjust
ment of the commercial relations between
the two countries on a permanent basis of
reciprocity profitable alike TO both In the
course of the cores pondence following this

these millions Of bugs have died by the

Conservatives Revolt.

The government training colleges bin, by
which it is practically proposed to endow
two large Catholic colleges in Dublin and
one very minor Protestant college,
has caused a revolt in the Conservative
ranks. However just in principle, the bill
has so raised sectarian iealouSies that il
threatens to protract the session and even
to endanger the position Of the ministry
Balfour, however, skillfulIy resorted to a
plan to provide capital for the colleges from
the funds at the disposal Of the Irish educa-
ton board. The bill therefore can be post
poned.

four states are representative of the
four quarters of the Union. Maryland

the South and Southern feeling more
strongly, perhaps, than any other
state. Ohio is the easternmost of the

between the East and the West. Iowa
stands for the great West. the most
progressive, alert and sympathetic part
Of the Union. When these four states.

the thing than BY the evident politica

the thing than by the evident political
is the proposition advanced in answer
to any popular demand such as 10 war
rant or force upon the government the
necessity Of declaring itself. There is
no such demand, unless it be from the
Primrose league of women. who, since
Salisbury's accession 10 power, have
contributed greatly to his support. It
is meant to counterfeit, II possible,
the tendency to manhood suffrage, and
equalize the advantages which the
Liberals are reaping from an extension
of the suffrage among male voters.
The proposition, therefore, contem-
plates cutting down OF the suffrage
among men and an extension of it
among women. II that is safe and
practical politics, the wisdom OF it has
yet to be tested. 1t is always easy
enough, and quite popular to extend
the electoral franchise, but to restrict
or narrow it is quite different and far
more difficult thing to do. The prime
minister may strengthen the hands OF
his party by granting certain class OF
women called ladies" over there the
right to vote, but it will be only tenn
porary makeshift. Either the fran
chise viii have ultimately to be taken
from them or extended to women gem
