The Senator Can Attend TO His Work
Other Gossip.
Your correspondent passed the after
noon with Senator VOORHEES,, and can say
that the story sent out by an ambitious
scribe is true in but one particular-the
senator is suffering from rheumatism, af-
fecting his leg and foot. He has no heart
trouble, and keeps his room because OF
the pain caused by walking and inability
to wear a shoe. but should any matter OF
importance require his presence In the
senate he would be able to 90 there any
day.
The white house people deny that Har-
rison has cabled New to return TO this
country and accept the position OF Secre-
tary of the treasury.
The Hon. George w. Cooper has ac-
cumuIated a large supply OF solid shot,
and he proposes to fire it at HARRISON S

Senator Hearst's condition is more un-
favorable than at any time during the last

had depressing effect upon him, and the
fact that he is growing weaker Is apparent

THE PROGRAM.
A Hard Week Of Business In Both Houses
Of Congress.


The two branches of congress have made
rapid progress during the last week in the
transaction of public business, but there
is a general disposition at the capital to do
even more work daily henceforward. The
lengthening of the legislative day
In the senate is expected to re-
suit IN final action before the 4th of
March not only upon all the annual ap-
preparation bills but also upon a long
list of measures selected by 1.-THE repub-
iican caucus for advancement because OF
their public importance. So the work in
the senate will probably be devoted to the
consideration Of the appropriation bills
made ready in time for action and such
measures upon the caucus program as
can be reached. The naval APP
preparation bill, il is said, will
be called up tomorrow. after final action is
reached on the eight-hour bill, and the

CHASING A WILD GOOSE.

A Dutchman has sued the govern
ment of the United States for the value
Of 1926, 900 worth Of Confederate bonds
tha he bought when the Confederacy
was doing business. He will probably
gain some notoriety, but that is about
all he will get in the way of satisfac-
ton.
To speak more exactly, the suit is
not against the United States, but
against James G. Blaine as secretary of
the United States. The United States
cannot be sued, except by its own con-
sent, which must be obtained through
congress, and the consent of that body
is not likely to be given for such pur-
pose as that of endeavoring to hold this
government responsible for the bonds
issued by the Confederate government.
But suppose such consent granted,
how is the plaintiff going to proceed?
The only tribunal that can enter
tain such suit is the supreme court of
the United States. That forum &C.
knowledges no higher law than that
laid down in the constitution of the
United States. When, therefore, the
amendment to the United States con-
stitution is pleaded, which directs that
neither the United States or any state
shall assume or pay any debt or obliga-
ton incurred or paid in aid of insurrec-
ton or rebellion against the United
States, or any claim for the loss or
emancipation of any slave; but that all
such debts, obligations and claims shall
be held illegal and void,n how shall the
supreme court give Judgment for the
plaintiff in this case, who demands pay
ment from the United States for debt
incurred by the Confederate states?
The Southern states do not wish to
see the Confederate war debt paid. 1t
would take more out of their pockets
than it would put in them, for the
bonds issued, such of them as have not
been used to kindle fires, are held in
foreign hands, and recognition of
their validity would add enormously to
our national debt and increase the
taxes, which the Southern people, in
common with other taxpayers OF the
country, would have to pay.

GOOD ROADS.

BY order of the commissioners court
| there will be an election held at the several
voting precincts in Tarrant county on
November 3, 1891. to determine whether or
not there shall be levied a road and bridge
tax of Is cents ON the 800, as provided by
| the amendment of 1889 to the constitution of
the state of Texas. This August IL, 1891. w.
d. Harris, County Judge of Tarrant county,
Tex.
The people of Tarrant county are to
say, on the 3rd day of November,
whether they are willing to pay for a
good system of roads throughout the
county.
1t has been said that Fort Worth
must carry this proposition by a
large majority to overcome the
looked-for adverse majority in the
country precincts. THEGAzETTE does
not believe, and will not believe
until the returns are in to prove
it, that the people of TarraHt county out
side of Fort Worth are not willing to
add a little to their tax for the sake Of
having good roads.
lit BCOplC WIZ llNC LII lilC CouIlI
the farmers who have cotton or other
produce to market, are the people who
use the roads. Theirs are the teams that
suffer on account of poor roads. They
are the people who haul three bales
to a load when, with good roads, they
might haul five. 1t is no uncommon
thing to see eight and ten bales of cot
ton hauled in wagon from the square
to the cotton compress over the streets
Of Fort Worth-a load which would
call for at least three trips of the wagon
from the farm to Fort Worth, or three
wagons and teams to haul them all in
one trip. We do not expect to see the
county roads put in as good condition
IS are the streets of Fort Worth, but
they can be made so much better than
they now are that they will save half
the labor of hauling that is now i'm
posed upon the farmer in marketing
his crop. 1t is the farmer who will be
the chief beneficiary, not the citizens
OF Fort Worth.
Ii the Taxpayers OF Fort Worth can
stand the additional burden of Is cents
on the 500, the country people cannot
complain of it. The city taxpayer is
now paying si.15 on the s100more than
is paid outside the city limits, and on a
valuation far in excess Of the county
valuation.
THE GAZETTE believes the PROPOSE
ton will carry, and that the majority
for it in the country precincts will be
larger than in the city, because it is so
manifestly to the interest of the coun-
try that good roads should be built.

Always p Market.

All Texas papers are advising farmers to raise
more hogs and less cotton. Hogs for home use
Is all right, but to False them for profit won t
do, There is no market for them. and even If
there was, the price offered would be so low
that it would not pay. Every farmer should
raise his own meat. and when ne learns the pro-
cess of properly curing it as they do in Mis-
souri, and other states. then he will have struck
the keynote OF success. TeXas-made bacon IS a
poor article and Will rot compare with North
ern cured meats,-l Reas an Herald.
If the Texas farmers would but raise
enough bacon for their own use it would be
big thing for them and for Texas, and it
will be several years before we can possibly
see even that much DONE But why does
the Herald say there is no market for hogs?
The Fort Worth pacliing-house would buy
from one thousand to two thousand day if
it could get them, and it could not then fill
its orders. Look you what a market it has
for its product in Texas, without going to
the farms. Texas has urban population
of 50O,0 900 at the least, enough TO furnish
purchasers for 1000 hogs day. Now, if
every farmer in Texas would raise hogs
enough to make his own bacon, and enough
besides to furnish this packng-house, they
would keep in the state several millions of
dollars that annually go to other states for
this very necessary product. There is no bet
ter market in Texas for anything than for
hogs, and no more profitable crop grows.

yocate of debts, mortgages and imitation, is
hereby informed that every member Of the
Aegislature from the West, Panhandle, Cen

offenders on Times.
And the Lord will forgive them, for
they knew not what they did. Neither
the men who enacted the law, the gov

sfect of the law until the cheap money
which the law prevented began to leave

knew what the effect OF the law would
be, that he knew it would drive money
from Texas, and work all the harm the

will dispute this, but nevertheless it is a
Good navigation in the lakes and Red
river just now would be worth millions to
all this part of Texas, but we hardly expect
to live to see the necessary appropriation
made by congress, and we must content
ourselves with the usual eight months in

Galveston beats Iexas out of any more ap-
preparations for long, long time [Jeffer-
son Jimplecute.
Velasco now has deep water at the mouth
of the Brazos river. This will not only
make Velasco the city of all that country
west of the Mississippi river and east OF
the Rocky mountains, but it will be great
boom for all Texas and the great South
west. Texas has been working for deep
water twenty years, and now she has it.
Texas is the Empire state for factories,
packing houses, and in fact will be the En-
pire state of the United States. Texas has
always had everything to make her the En-
pire state except deep water; now she has
that, and that is enough said. All Texas
should rejoice.
Deep water was demanded few years
since by the people Of the South and West,
and the effects of that demand are plainly
to be seen. Galveston is at work with

heretofore drifted north and east win come

and every citizen in Texas will feel the
glorious benefit. Great is Texas, and great
are her people.-lSherman Register.

thonght that harmony would exist in the
order all over the stale and that the men,
bers would willingly lend themselves to
the earnest work of strengthening and
building up the order in accordance with
its constitution and declarations of pur-
poses. 1t was not long, however, before it
was manifest that considerable minority
was in favor of. and openly advocating,
separate political action, notwithstanding
the forbidding clause in the organic law.
Believing that harmony might prevail after
the state election, no action was taken at
:his office before that event. The smoke
of that battle has cleared away and there
still seems to be determination on the
part of this minority to rush headlong into
a political party and drag the order along
with it. They are able, in some counties,
to commit the organization to their policy.
In others the order is as strongly opposed
to it.
In this divided condition of the order the
Farmers Home Journal does not believe
that any paper can be the true official or
gan of the Union and unless there was rea-
sonable hope Of having united order it de-
clines to occupy the position longer. No
paper can consistently represent both fac
tions.
BY this we do not intend to convey the
idea that this shall not be true Alliance
paper-advocating such measures as may
appear to be reasonable and just, and such
means to carry these measures as may give
reasonable promise of success. The Farm
er's Home journal need not bring testi-
mony, other than its more than twenty-five
years record, of its friendship for farmers
and its fidelity to their interests, nor of its
unfriendliness to political deadheads, of all
parties, who would use farmers as step
stone to their selfish schemes. Our col
umns will still contain newsy Alliance mat
ter from all over the country and all official
matter submitted by state authority.

The Fort Worth GAZETTE Endorses the
reading out OF Cole because he believes in
the Sub-treasury scheme In 1882 the Demo-
cratic state convention declared against free
grass. In 1854 there were a good many free
grass men in the convention, and nobody
sought to exclude them. Suppose they mad
been excluded, wouldn't THE GAZETTE have
thought it an outrage!-Waco Day.
1.-THE Day is little out of the way as
to dates, but that makes no difference
as to the relevancy or irrelevancy of its
comparison of the free-grass demand of
1884 with the sub-treasury demand of
1891.
Ii the free-grass Democrats had had
a separate and distinct party organiza-
ton, as the sub-treasury Alliance men
have; if, through this partisan organi-
cation, they had opposed and beaten
regularly nominated Democratic candi-
dates, as the sub-treasury Alliance par
tisans have done: if they had held a
national convention and formulated a
demand for free-grass legislation, as
the sub-treasury Alliance followers
have demanded legislation for the es-
tablishment Of sub-treasuries; if they
had held state convention and pledged
themselves to support no man for any
Office who would not commit himself in
favor of free grass, as the sub-treasury
men have pledged themselves to oppose
every man who will not commit himself
to the sub-treasury demand-then,
under such circumstances, The GA
zETTE would not have regarded it as
an outrage if the regular Democrats
had refused to allow such free-grassers
to remain on the county executive
committees, or to participate in party
conventions or primaries.
But inasmuch as the free-grassers in
1884 did none Of these things, and mas
much as they acquiesced in the decision
of the Democratic convention, the
Days comparison is entirely out of
place, and has nothing to do with the
case under consideration now.
