The leading article IS by the liberal and
learned prelate, Cardinal Gibbons, and the
tenor of the article will certainly impress
an unbiased reader with the feeling that
wealth brings its obligations, and that every
man thus possessing is the Lords steward.

the pulling questions 1T present agitating
the social world are to be found in the four

Meeting Mr. A L. Allen of New York,
What-NOt found him very much interested
in the Dagos' doings and prepared to cast
his vote against foreign immigration. He
said: You and l live in this country
tweuty-one years before we are regarded as
citizens; but these foreigners come into our
country, remain o few years and set them
selves up as reformers. This abominable
Malta is one of their most progressive re-
forms, and yet Italy has the nerve to de-
mand indemnity from the United States on
account OF the infinite dedication arising
from the the operation of this band Of
assassins. Now, l am against this foreign
element You may call me know-noth-
ingist or anything you like; but l think
that congress should repeal the immigra-
ton laws and clear our country of these
galley slaves, murderers and Italian bandits
that come TO this country to rob, plumber,
black1nail and murder American citizens.
these Italians, who have abiured
their native country and sworn
allegience TO the United States, will prance
around to these indignation meetings and
deuounce the government they have sworn
TO protect from foreign invasion with their
lives. In any other country but free
America this would be high treason and
such contemplate citizenship would be
swept from the country. These men have
no more right 10 hold indignation meetings,
in which threats are breathed out against
the government, that is protecting their
lives and property, on account Of an Illegal

Cen. Joe Johnston was lieutenant en-
gagged in the war with the Florida Indians
in 1888. He had been sent under escort Of
Il party OF infantry and sailors to make a
survey or reconnaissance Of region around
a lake. The party fell into an ambuscade
and nearly all its officers were killed or dis
abed at the first fire Johnston took com
mand, subdued the panic, and conducted
the retreat. = ball struck him in the fore
head and ranged backward, grazing the
skull the whole distance. The uniform
worn by Johnston on this occasion was
long preserved by a friend as curiosity,
being perforated by thirty bullets.

What-Not recently button-h Ned Mr.. J.
c. German, prominent merchant OF Aus
tin and a member of the firm of A l.. Tea
garden & Co., and questioned him in regard
to the dam at Austin. He said I'VE are
going 10 have one of the finest dams in
America. 1t will cost $1,000 900, and the
city has issued bonds to the extent OF ST.
400, 900 for the purpose Of constructing the
dam. building q railroad and sidings for the
mills, and for al electric light and water
works plant sufficiently large to supply the
needs of city of 100000 inhabitants. All
of the bids for the work are lower than the
estimated cost of the engineers, and our
people feel confident Of building u city. The
dam will be sixty-fve feet high, constructed
OF solid granite, and a race will be dug
around the foot of the mountains. The
water will have the power OF lS0O horse
power, and it is estimated that over hun
bred manufactures and mills can be run.
The city will retain the owership Of the
dam and rent water privileges to the mill
owners. I understand that two
Eastern syndicates have applied for
the right to erect WOODEN and cotton mills,
and the council will experience no difficulty
in securing the mills. After the dam Is
constructed it will spread pool of water
thirty-fye miles long and deep enough to
float the largest steamer. Besides this dam
/ understand that move is on foot to eX-
tend the road from Austin to Burnett to
Llano, and this will undoubtedly bring the
iron ore Of Llano and the granite Of Bur-
net to Austin as the market. This will re-
suit in the erection OF iron works in Aus
tin. 1t is true that coke is an item in the
manufacture of iron, but l feel satisfied
that the discovery Of coal in E,rath county,
and the probable development of other
mines will bring cheap fuel However,
there is sufficient timber around Llano to
manufacture charcoal iron, and Austin be-
ing the nearest point to Llano. we conf
IDENTIFY look forward to handling q consider
able amount of the Llano iron. Consider
ing he construction of the dam and the
granite field at our door, Austin has a
bright future; and I also think that the
Llano iron ore will build nice town at that

A QUESTION WITHOUT AN ANSWER

Clifford Bartlett, an eminent lawyer
of New York. with powerful social con-
ncctions and brilliant prospects, and
with wife of unusual mental and per-
soma euiowments, has yielded TO the
seductive charms Of D young widow
and fled with her to the remoteness Of
no one knows where. Bat first he went
70 Montana, anu there made applica
ton for and obtained divorce from
his wife, whose first knowledge Of his
doings was conveyed TO her by brief
letter from him, with copy Of the de-
cree. And in the meantime he had
made of with the widow.
Gotham society stands amazed, and
asks itself what made this man do this?
He had wealth, and was honored. He
had political ambition, which his peo-
pie were ready to crafty at his asking.
BE was thought to be happy in his
home lie, where he had everything to
give him happiness. And yet,
he threw away his family love, tram
pied upon am bition, welcomed dis
honor, and turned aside to hopeless
future with the woman whom he pre-
terred to all these. Why did he do it?
Well, the question may be answered
when We know why King David, the
favored OF God, turned aside from the
way OF righteousness to murder the
man whose wife he coveted, and why
Anthony threw away the dominion Of
the world and his own life for the
wanton pleasures Of his Egyptian mis-
tress-when we understand these
things, the conduct Of Lawyer Bartlett
of New York, and of other men in
whose footsteps he has trod, will not
appear SO inexplicable.

the chief fault the prisoners had to find

the chief fault the prisoners had to find
with their fare was that there we're not
enough rats to satisfy them.
Dr. John Wyeth Of New York is the
author of the article, and he relates, in
a very temperate style, his own expert
ence, which was the experience OF the
other Confederate captives confined in
Camp Morton from 1863 to 1855. The
prison camp had formerly been fair
ground. and the stalls for stock were
converted into quarters for the prison
ers by making shelves OF four tiers in
the pens for them to sleep on. The
planks inclosfng these pens had shrunk
until there were great cracks between
them and snow and rain blew in upon
the prisoners. They were allowed one
blanket, and no other bedding, and this
was their only protection against the
cold when the Thermometer registered
20 degrees below zero. A number OF
the men were frozen to death. ION
several occasions shots were fired into
the barracks al night, and some OF the
prisoners were killed while asleep.
Men were shot or beaten II they did not
get out OF the way readily enough or
cease talking when an officer came
around.
~ know from personal observation.
says Dr.. Wyeth, that many
OF my comrades died from star
walton. He himself paid fifteen
cents for an ear Of corn to eat, when the
whole country around them was corn
field. This was one Of their luxuries,
and soon it was cut of, and they were
not allowed to purchase anything to
eat. Hunger drove the poor wretches
to devOur the refuse that was sent out
in swiil buckets from the kitchen.
The entire ration for one day was not
enough for a single meal "All the
rats that could be caught were eaten,
and woe to the dog that ventured on
our territory. One fat canine was capt
ured by my messmates and was cOnsid-
cred a feast. 1t was boiled and then
baked"
In the light Of these revelations, An
Jacksonville does not seem to have been
so bad a place. after all. The scarcity
Of food there was with reason, for there
was no food to be had, and Confederate
soldiers in the field were almost as bad
oil, but at Camp Morton nothing OF
that kind can be brought as an excuse,
for the country was full of corn and
meat.
In spite OF the indignation OF the
Grand Army of the Republic. we hope
the full history of this side of the war
will be published. Let the truth be
indicated. Somebody will try some
day to write an impartial history OF the
conflict between the states, and the
collection of facts bearing on the prison
life of that episode will supply him
with good material for a chapter.

the prosperity of Fort Worth is due to the
