| Despite the protestations of peace which
| are heard on all sides the relations between
| the government at Berlin and St. Peters
| burg remain strained The suppression of
| German subscriptions to the new Russian
| loan Is resented by NJ. Vishnegradski, Rus
sian minister of finance, who looks upon it
as a trick of Chancellor Won Capriyi who
VishnegradSh says first induced Berlin
bankers TO believe thathe favored the issue
| and maneuvered for its abandonment. Men
delssOhns & Warschaur, who hold a large
proportion of the issue, have been advised
from st. Petersburg that they will
continue TO be the responsible members of
the syndicate negotiating the loan. In View
of the present state of feeling of the
French people they adhere to their con-
tract willingly, expecting to realize con-
siderable sum on the rising of the price of
the bonds due to the eager absorption
of the issue by French investors. The
press attacks upon the loan extend to Rus
sian stocks generally, calling to mind
period a few years ago when the banks and
bourses tabooed crything Russian. Then
the Argentine and other foreign loans
filled the vacuum left by the with
drawal of Russian securities. Now
according to the bourse report the way is
being cleared for large operations IN Amer
lean shares of various kinds.
Regarding the cars presence in Berlin
the journals who are obliged to record
the event have no agreeable anticipation
Of their duty. The precautions which
have been taken to prevent any but officials
approaching the car are so strict that even
the authorized representatives of the press
will be kept at distance. The journalists
who were allowed access to the railroad
station last week when the car was hurry
ing through Berlin on his way to Moscow
were locked up in a waiting room and only
got glimpse of his majesty through a win
dow as he alighted from the train and
was greeted by Prince Leopold, who
was doing the honors in the absence of the
emperor. They had to await patiently for
an hour while the car devoured
sandwiches and drank cup after cup of tea,
after which they saw him depart. His
capacity for eating appears to be accom-
panied by capacity for drinking, each
cup of tea being plentifuily mixed with
rum instead of milk

THE STANF0RDS.
New Developments Increase the Amount
Involved IN Their Fraudulent
Transactions.

PARIS. Ill, Oct. 3.-New developments
make the bank wrecking of Stanford Bros.
at Chrisman worse. About month
ago the bank building was burned
and the Stanfords opened for
business the next morning on the east side
of the square. They went to a few of their
largest depositors and told them their safe
was so hot that they could not
open it without destroying every
thing it contained, and asked these
parties to give them their notes FOR $4,000
for thirty DAYS, and they could
get them discounted and go
ahead with their business. For
accommodation, three of these notes were
given for $1,000 each and others were given
amounting to $4,000 in all The
Stanfords got the money on
these notes. Ii the signers
of these notes are compelled 10 pay it will
break them up 1t has been kept secret I'M
It'll to-day. This will make the Stanfords'
liabilities over 5000, 900. The safe was opened
by al expert and all it contained was small
coin to the amount of so. The grand jury
returned fifteen indictments for forgery,
embezzlement and obtaining money under
false pretenses and larceny The county
Will offer reward of 800 for the capture

BUILDING CITIES.

Cities are not built on cash basis.
No man can indorse extravaganza in
the details Of municipal government,
but those who would convert hamlets
into towns and towns into cities must
expend money, and that money must
be expended in advance. Fort Worth
did not pay cash for its streets and
other public Improvements, made
eight years ago, but those improve
ments brought people and capital to
the city, and in the growth and aug
mented values thus secured there were
large profits on the investment, and
Fort Worth has reason for self
graduation that wisdom guided the
municipal government in providing
Improvements that would attract popu-
lation and capital. Had Fort Worth,
eight years ago, waited for the money
in hand with which to secure needed
improvements they would never have
been secured,
No large city can be built without an
adequate water supply. The water
works provided for a population of TO-
900 are insufficient for 10000. The
question of method of water supply is
one of detail and The GAZETTE now
advocates or opposes no particular
method, urging only that if Fort
Worth expects or desires to add
appreciably to its present population it
must, in some way, increase its public
water supply to an extent commen-
surate with such expectations and de-
sires. The cistern or the water wagon
may answer the needs of the farm or
the village, but both combined fail to
supply the city. The question of the
location of the water supply is, also,
one of detail, to be determined by those
empowered to investigate and decide.
The method of supply and the location
of supply THE GAZETTE now would
not discuss-the main question being
shall we make public water supply
for more people or for less number of
people? the present supply being made
quate to the needs of the present popu-
lation of the city. The question is not
one to be determined by clamor or by
discussion Of the number of policemen
or other city employees. The question
is one vital to the health, the welfare
and the progress of the city OF Fort
Worth and should be dispassionately
weighed. The solution OF it will de-
pend upon the resolve OF Fort Worth
to go forward or to stand still, if not
retrogade.
And this statement may be accepted
as an AXIOM in city building. Cities
are not built on cash basis, and some
gentlemen who are now fattening on
rents on city basis would be inan-
cially lean and hungry had Fort Worth,
eight years ago, waited for the cash in
hand to inaugurate improvements that
resulted in converting a village into a
town, and making their property more
valuable.

THE OHIO CAMPAIGN.

Ever since the war, whenever the
party lines were drawn tight, Ohio
went Republican. In off years the
Democrats frequently prevailed. For
many years she has had one Demo-
cratic senator ,as she has now. The fact
that this is an off year is one point in
favor of Campbell. Another is the total
failure of the wool tariff as increased
in the Mckinley bill, to even keep up,
to say nothing of advancing, the price
of wool. Ohio being one of the fore
most wool growing states in the Union.
protection had large following among
the wool growers OF the Western
Reserve. If they have the slightest
glimmering OF reason they ought to see
that the tariff is positive injury in
stead of a benefit to them. Their de-
pleted purses ought to teach them that,
if nothing else will. They had asked for
an increase of the duty on wool, and
they got it. It made them happy, and
their love for Mckinley and protection
famed up anew. But, when the new
tariff went into effect. the price of wool,
instead Of rising as they had expected,
began to fall, and has not yet, perhaps,
reached bottom. This was terrible
setback, not only to the wool growers,
but to Mr.. Mckinley and the
defenders of protection generally.
Disgust and dissatisfaction set in
and the politicians have been at their
wits end to explain the awkward mis-
hap. If they could have done so with
safety, they would have said to the
people ''the result of the increased
wool tariff is perfectly natural. We
have all along said that the effect OF
the tariff is to reduce the price of
whatever it touches, and here is an ex-
ample of it" But they did not dare to
say SO. 1t was not opportune. There
are times when Republican orators and
organs use that argument as glitter
ing generality, but in concrete case
like the wool tariff it was clearly mis-
chievous. So they have had to slosh
around and trump up charges of boy
cooting and the like against the New
England wool manufacturers, who pre-
fer to pay the tariff on foreign wool to
paying fancy prices for Ohio wool.
This wool tariff fiasco is a most trou-
blesome impeachment in MeKinley's
way. He tried to evade it and the
tariff altogether by making free silver
coinage the issue, but Campbell took
up the tariff and was pulverizing it at
such rate on the stump that McKin-
ley was forced to drop the money ques-
tion and fly to the defense of his abom-
nation. AT this distance it is hard to
predict the result of the campaign, but
if there be any virtue in reason and
arguments, Campbell will win.

AN ERA OF PROGRESS.

The strides that. democratic feeling
is making in England is hardly under
stood until some event occurs, such a:
the holding of the great congress Of
Liberalists at Newcastle, or the ex.
posure of royal proaigacy in the BAG
carat trial. The ''divine right OF
kings" is scoffed at by workingmen in
blouses. The nobility are criticised
and condemned by the same standard
OF judgment that is put to the case OF
men and women of plebeian blood. The
hereditary house oflords is complained
OF as clog upon progress, and worse
than useless part OF the scheme OF gov
eminent.
One OF the loudest applauded utter
ances made in the Newcastle congress
a body of 5000 delegates. representing
100000 citizens of voting age-w as
that directed against the house of lords.
Sir Wilfrid Lawson, publicist whose
reputation has gone far beyond the
British Isles, declared that there was
no use to try mending the house of
lords - relief from the abuses that
sprang from it could come only by its
adjustment.
With the ancient and hereditary bull
warks of patrician power swept away by
! the beating waves Of popular discon-
tent, there would be but little to COM
plain of in the kingly figurehead that
wears the crown. The rule OF the peo-
pie would be far more absolute than
when the Commonwealth fouriShed
under Cromwell, without the name or
appearance OF royalty.
The proposition to pay members Of
parliament a salary OF $500 year
about SI5O0-was another display of
feeling from the commonalty, showing
that the great middle class has the bits
between its teeth. Members of parlia-
ment get no pay. Only those men,
therefore, who are SO fortunate as to
have incomes from invested capital can
take part in national legislation. The
poor man who depends upon the earn
ings of his labor for a living is barred,
for SO soon as he enters parliament his
source OF livelihood is cut off and he is
left without the means of living. a
salary of $500 year is small enough,
but it will enable an economical patriot
to live, and that seems to be all that
they are asking for.
The signs are that the Twentieth
century will dawn upon a republic
directing the destinies OF THAT nation
that has acknowledge the sway OF the
Plantagenets, the Tudors, the Stuarts
and the Guelphs-a republic that in
very truth rules by divine right, for
the voice Of the people is the voice OF
God

The question of state banks of issue
is likely to receive more attention than
some local inanciers of Texas seem dis
posed to accord it. Mr.. Michael d.
Harter, member OF congress from Ohio.
who for the last twenty-five years has
been a private banker, as well as
large manufacturer, and who, there
fore, has studied these questions from
the point OF view both of the borrower
and of the lender, has for many years
been at work upon plan which he
now gives to the world as solution of
both of these problems. He would al

The Fort Worth GAZETTE calls on Gov

needed to be done, the alien land law may
have its fangs extracted. Would The GA

against that of a majority of the Legislature

THE GAZETTE urges Especial session
because it is demanded by justice to
the Western hall of the state, and be-
cause thousands of Texas people are
threatened with bankruptcy by the
operation Of the Gossett alien land

cruel law will be amended by "a special
session because its ruinous effect is

Two or three months ago, if a popu-
lar vote had been taken upon the ques-
ton. we believe the people OF Texas
would have sustained the alien land
law, Gossett iniquity and all, Since
then intelligent discussion has done
its work. and the popular vote would
be largely against it, if submitted to
the people now. As time goes on the
feeling against the working of the law
is widening and intensifying. A year
hence, the politician who defends the
Gossett amendment to the law will not
be heard in q popular gathering-or if
he is, that will be the last heard of
him. The people sometimes make
mistakes, but they find it out and
rectify them when they get a chance.
