The Fort Worth Convention.
Farmers World.

In this issue of the World we print the
official call for the Alliance conference to be
held in Fort Worth Friday and Saturday,
July 10 and H. This will be one of the
most important Alliance meetings ever
held in this state, and coming as it does at
a time when action is demanded TO preserve
that order to the people in its purity, it
means great deal The purposes of the
call cannot be misunderstood. They are
brief and pointed. The Alliance people of
Texas should attend this important meeting
and hear the 'sother side" of the sub-treas-
ury scheme discussed. Great issues are in
volved in this measure and it should be
carefully studied, and no person is pre-
pared to arrive at an opinion without fully
and impartially viewing it from all sides.
Attend the meeting.

There appeared an article in your issue of
last Sunday that does the people of Denton
great injustice by stating that the majority
of our citizens think Bob Stevens is inno-
cent of the charge of arson, while the re-
verse are the facts in the case. Our people
are satisfied that the burning of the east
side of the square here was the result of a
conspiracy, and that if Stevens did not APP
ply the torch he knows full well who did
and is an accomplice. Very truly

SAN ANTONIO, TEX, July 1.-The effects
of the alien land law are already severely
felt here. Mr.. Chandler, representing the

was to last until an authoritative interpreta-
ton of the law would be obtained, or until
it was repealed or amended.
Francis Smith & Co., representing three

write you few lines to give yOu the
feeling Of the Peoples party in this part
Of the state. We feel greatly encouraged
over the result Of the election and mot o
man thinks Of going back to either Of
the old parties, for all Of our people are
educated and they cannot be induced 20
leave us and join the reciprocity party OK
any other Republican sldeshOw, but are
going ahead in the right direction. We
polled sixty-fve votes here last year and
20S this, and the Republicans made
very bitter fight against us here. 1t took
the entire force to down US, but they will
not be able 70 do itagaln.
see the Republicans are scared and
havoarranged to form RepublicaDclubs in
every township in the state. Out here they
call them reciprocity clubs" to mislead
the uneducated oftheir persuasion. They
see tho chances are very unfavorable for
them to carry the state next fall and they
seem to understand the situation thor"
oughly and are hard at work. Now ell
the people have to do is TO not waste any
time but head them of at every point
They cannot meet us In open debate, but
must work quietly and undeRhanded.
What we most need In this part Of the
state is q paper to give the working men
! the facts which they do not get through
any of our papers here. We hsvn't q
single organ to help US out. II we make
"a fight at all 1t must be at great dis
advantage by personal solicitation, which
means loss Of time and unnecessary ex-
'pense. II we had well edited paper
here it would put Us In the lead In the
near future and such paper would be
well patronized. While this part OF the
state is not so densely populated, We
have an intelligent thinking people, who
would fully appreciate an ably edited
paper in their behalf. OF course we get
anumber of such papers from the out
side, but locally they do not I'LL the bill,
as our local affairs are OF as much In
terest to most Of the people as national
or state affairs are. We are not going TO
let up working, but will have q paper
in the near future. With best wishes for
the success of the cause, am very re-
spectfully yours, II. Fl. ARTz.

Kind Words Always Best.

Fannie lived in large city, and
while she had been taught to be
kind to poor, unfortunate people, she
was unlike some little girls, tor she
remembered what she had been
taught. One day she saw on the
street poorly dressed Irish girl,
with a homely face, looking anxious
ly at the houses. Every person to
whom she spoke either shook their
head, or did not tronble themselves
to do that. When she reached Fan
ME, she asked, politely, "Can you
tell me where number S74 is, miss?"
"Let me see," said Fannie, bright
ly. "This is number 10. tits long
way to S74, and you have to turn
twice; but am going nearly there,
and will show you"
Fannie thinks she never will forget
the happy look which made the face
of her companion almost pretty,
when she said, Indeed, l do thank
We, miss, an | wish that every folks
