REALTY AND BUILDING.

Purchase Spinning Machinery for
the Fort Worth Mill

Yesterday being Z legal holiday, business
was partially suspended and about one-half
the population took IA outing. \ number
of people visited the different Industrial in
situations of the city and the suburban ad-
Uitions. To the man who viii drive over
the city and carefully note the improve
ments, It IS plain that Fort Worth IS i'm
proving so!idly and steadily. The charac-
ter of residences going up is of high
grade. several Of those in course Of con-

ar better showing in the investigation

far better showing in the investigation
than they have.
AS for the attempt to injure the gov
ernor, that was the most preposterous
failure OF all. Nothing more puerile
and ridiculous has happened since the
fight on Hogg first began. 1t has not
only not injured him, but did not come
within 100 miles of him. But that is not
all. It has insured his reelection next
year. At this hour the governor is with
the people stronger than at any
time since his election. He has
abundant cause to feel grateful to War
wick and his Eeutenants in the investi-
CATION. They have done him a greater
service than lay in the power Of his
friends even. He should at least pray
devoutly for them. for the good they
are constantly doing hin-the Lord
knows they need praying for. His
prayer should be, Father, forgive
them, for they know not what they
do"
As for the result OF the Investigation,
everybody anticipates what the verdict
of the committee will be. The whole
thing has been such q farce, that no
room is left for the most disappointed
to cry, sWhite-wash."

EnIarg!ns the Cotton MIL

On Monday morning Mr.. George Taylor
manager of the cotton mill, and one or mora
Of the gentlemen associated with him, leave
for the East on important business con-
nected with this Fort Worth enterprise.
The mill with its 10 looms has been wely-
ing cloth for some time, and has a demand
for its product for some months TO come.
The gentlemen 90 East 10 buy spinning ma
chinery, and II will be but short time until
the cotton used il making cloth will be
spun right here. This will make Z local
demand Tor our cotton, and will also give
employment 10 number of hands. While
in Massachusetts the gentlemen Will en-
ploy number of people to come 10 Fort
Worth and work in the mill here. The
Fort Worth cotton mill is one of the sue
cessful enterprises that viii work hand in
hand with the packery, the cracker factory,
the brewery. the iron works, the tannery
and the rolling mill in building up IsYs
Worth. Il IS expected that 500 hands viii
be employed at the mill before many months
have gone

MAYOR SMITH contends that under
the charter the council has no au-
thority to order sn election for the
aldermen from the new wards. Con-
ceding that this view OF the law is cor
rect, there is prospect OF a fine muddle
in city affairs, if the council overrides
Ills veto and goes on in the way it has
marked out. Suppose the new men,
bers admitted to the council. Suppose
question OF importance up for con-
sideratiOn, which is carried by the de-
Gliding vote of one or more of the new
aldermen, as, for instance. the issuing
of bonds. In this case the validity OF
the bonds would depend upon the
legality of the ordinance authorizing
them. If that ordinance was put
through by votes OF members as to
whom there is Il question OF their
right to vote, can those bonds be sold?
The purchaser would take risk, and
men with money don't have to take
risks, these days. There is too much
OF a demand for cash without risk.

WHAT THE DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM
DENANDED.

The notion exists amongst those
who favor the alien land law that it
is just what what the last state Demo-
cratic platform pledged the party to.
That is very great mistake. Nothing
OF the kind appears in the platform.
One of the five or six propositions enun-
ciated by Governor Hogg in his Rusk
speech was that declaring against the
| absorption of wide areas of land within
the state by corporations. That prop
osition was made the seventh plank in
the platform adopted at San Antonio,
| which is as follows:
eve demand that the constitutional
provision that 'perpetuities and mOnop-
lies are contrary to the genius OF free
government be respected and obeyed
in all particulars, and especially by the
enactment of law that will prohibit
the further operation of land corpora
tons, and requiring those now holding
the possession or title OF lands to dis
pose of same within such reasonable
time as Will not impair vested rights,
and that the policy of selling the pub
lie lands to actual settlers only be
strictly enforced"
Such is the language of the platform
on the subject of lands. 1t is all that
is said or demanded on that subject.
There is not word in any of the ten
planks OF the platform concerning alien
ownership. As usual, the legislature
ignored the platform and enacted
law that nobody, entitled as the con-
vention was to a respectful hearing,
had asked for.
Governor Hogg urged the enactment
Of law that would break up and pre-
vent land corporations. The conven-
ton adopted the idea and declared
that perpetuities in land are contrary
to the genius OF free government,
and demanding a law ''that will pro-
hibit the further operation of land
corporations, and require those now
holding the possession or title Of lands
to dispose OF the same within such
reasonable time as will not impair
vested rights"
1t is clear, therefore, that the alien
law is entirely different from the thing
proposed by Gen. Hogg, or demanded
by the San Antonio convention. 1t is
not what either wanted, not.what they
had right to expect from the legisla-
ture. 1t is reasonable to suppose that
the convention, as well as Gen. Hogg,
regarded land corporations as more
inimical to the general welfare than
alien ownership. They had good reason
for thinking so. For if corporate
ownership Of land be prohibited,
that in effect ends alien owner
ship, for when aliens invest in
large bodies of land, they do so in
syndicates, and not singly, except in
isolated cases. In giving the people
law for which there had been no de-
mand, the legislature made one mis-
take. Another was in the framing OF
the act, which was so awkwardly done
as to vitiate or cloud land titles. And
third was the ignoring of a specific
party pledge without cause. The thing
given was but a shadow, poor, dis
torted substitute for that promised. Let
the legislature be called together and
the blunder corrected.

The alien land law was an oversight.
THE GAZETTE will never believe that
this law was the deliberate act of the
Twenty-second Legislature. That body
was intelligent and patriotic, and it is
doubtful if this terrible blow At Texas
progress was read or heard by one
fifth of the members. The people are
opposed to alien landlordism. but the
legislature never intended to drive out
$50, 900 of capital in expelling the
Duke of Sutherland.

THE FARCE ENDED.

The farce at Galveston is ended. 1t
was poor political dodge from the be-
ginning. Politics and personal ambi-
ton, intermixed with disappointment
and political hatred. were at the bot
tom of it. They, and not the purity
of the judicial ermine or the good Of
the people, were the ruling motives
that prompted the investigation. Ger
tain politicians in Tyler, where politi-
clans are as plentiful as flies in sum-
mer kitchen, wanted to kill off Judge
McCord and damage two or three 9th
ers so as TO gain leeway for themselves.
Waco wanted to make a drive at the
governor, and if possible damage his
political chances for reelection. The
disappointed and disgruntled politi-
clans Of the two towns got together
and sailed in 10 sling mud right and
left.
The testimony on both sides has been
heard. Every scrap of evidence that
was susceptible Of an ugly interpreta-
ton was raked up against AIcCord, the
receivers and their attorneys. Moth
ing it seems was omitted that could be
given a questionable look. The com
plainants went so far even as to confess
that had the Judge listened favorably to
their opportunities, and given them
what they asked of him, they would
have had no cause of grievance against
the receivership. The truth OF the
matter is, Judge McCord has made g
