A MAEIA WARNING.

Parkerson, Leader of the New Orleans
Nigilantes, Threatened With Death-The
Grand Jury to Investigate the Riot and
is Specially Charged by Judge Marr.
New ORLEANS, March IS. w. s.
Parkerson has received the following
note, purporting to come from a mem
ber of the Malta society: "You doomed
man and God Amity can't save you. We
have il sworn. Our comrades you MUIR
dered and we kill you and you family
You will be poison. The styleto will do
for the wrest."
The grand jury met Tuesday with all
its members present. Judge Mari pre-
sented the special charge given below
on the riot, and the jury is now investi-
eating. The leaders will probably be
indicted. Here is the charge:

NAVIGATING THE AIR.
Good Reasons for Relieving That IL Can
Re Accomplished.


Good Reasons for Relieving That II Can
Bo Accomplished.
Recent experiments in Pittsburgh and
Chicago have stimulated interest in the
question whether it is possible for man
to navigate the air by mechanical con-
trivance. A balloon, as we all know, is
hardly more than very dangerous
plaything, although balloons have been
effectively used for military and mete-
geological observations. But balloon
is nothing but gas bag, at the mercy
of every breath OF wind, and is as un-
controllable as a saw-log in a cataract.
Notwithstanding the discouragements
and disasters that have attended bal
looming, however, there is strong hope,
even in scientific minds, that aerial
navigation may be within the compass
of human ingenuity.
There are apparently only two prob
lens in the question, and one of these
was practically solved more than hun
dred years ago by the Montgolfier
brothers, French paper makers. The
first problem, manifestly, is to sustain
yourself in the air, and the secoLd to go
In any desired direction regardless of
wind or weather. The balloon accomp-
fishes the first part, but the second part
has puzzled the brains OF inventors for
many years.
No device has yet been exhibited
with the means of propelling and guild
ing an air ship as steamers are managed
at sea. Inventors keep up public in
terest in the subject by assurances from
time to time that aerial transit lines are
about to be established, but the future
tense never stops long enough for the
present to overtake it.
1t must be admitted, however, that
there is much cause for encouragement
in the experiments made within the
last few years. A French inventor has
sailed over Paris with an air ship ap-
parently under good control, and very
encouraging experiments have been
made in our own country.
Nitrogen gas for buoyancy and elec-
tricity for propulsion are apparently the
means to which we must look for the
realization of the dream of aerial navi.
CATION. We know that nitrogen gas can
be made twelve times lighter than atmos-
| pheric air. The extreme lightness OF
this gas was discovered by an English
man named Cavendish, who published a
small volume called Different Kinds OF
Air" The perusal of this book gave
the Montgolfiers the idea of confining a
substance lighter than air in bag and
sending it sllyward, although their ex-
periments were made with fire balloons
and heated air.
A balloon sixty feet in diameter, filed
with nitrogen gas, has lifting capacity
of nearly eight tons. If an apparatus
can be made that will weigh, for exam.
pie, not more than two tons, it follows
that it can take sllyward pretty fair
railway carload of people-about forty,
If they don't average more than 1OC
pounds each. Then, If the balloon were
long and pointed, so as to encounter the
least possible resistance from the air,
and then propelled by electric power
well, even we might wait good while
TO hear an aerial guard announce;

FEELING ABROAD
IN REGARD TO THE PASSAGE OF
THE ALIEN LAND LAW.
Companies Organized for Looming Money
in Texas Must suspend Business
and Go to Other Fields.
LONDON. July Il, 1891.

LONDON, July Il, 1891.
Editor Fort Worth Gazette.
The feeling engendered here by the sur
reptitiOuS passage OF the alien land law Is
that the manner of its passage indicates
that it could not have been passed with 4
manly, open discussion of its merits by the
legislature. and that the authors of 1t
therefore are doomed to Shelfdom IN the
next election.
Companies organized here for doing
financial business in that growing state
must suspend business there and 60 10
other fields 10 invest their money.
Can it be true that Texas bankers, who
in years past have been able to get is per
cent per annum for money. are pining for a
return of those happy days for themf Bor-
rowerS in those days with cattle at double
the price of the last five years could better
afford to pay Is per cent then than to pay 5
per cent now, as charged oy English land
and mortgage companies.
All new and growing states can afford to
pay large interest for the use of money in
developing farms, and thus they attract
capital to them. This law cffectually multi
fics this benefcent law of supply and de
mand, and puts Texas upon its own capital
alone to develop its vast agricultural wealth.
Is this wise for 4 great state like Texas
l am glad to notice that the great news
papers of the state are all against the folly
OF irving 10 ONGr-rlle Cue ITtGlleS VI lL4C
United States with Great Britain, as well
as its own constitutional law.
This IS as it should be until narrow
minded craftsmanship is driven from the
greatest state in the Union, no more to re
turn.
Whoever thinks that Texas is too good
for anyone but Texans, should remember
that Houston and his Spartan band Of 500,
who conquered Texas from Mexico, were
all sliens from other states, and perhaps
some of them owed allegiance to Great
Britain. Anyway, the blood of the Anglo
Saxon race won that territory from Span
ish blood. and should therefore be open to
settlement from anyone who can claim kill
ship with WaShingtOn'S ancestors.
The great public improvements, which
are making Texas fit to be part of the
United States of America, have been mostly
built by foreign capital, and have driven out
the Indians to make room for the Anglo
Saxon race.
Can II be possible. that with untold mil
lions of rich acres still in their native state,
that legislators of Texas knew what they
were about when they indicated by law that
they wanted no more foreign capital to as
sist in the further development of an EN-
pire still in its infancy!
The invitation to foreign capital for such
a benificent purpose should be rs open, free
and broad as the magnificent territory
within its domain.

informed that his language was being mis-
construed. He explained before the ALI

that he did not mean to convey the idea that
because man was a renter he was not rs
good as landholder, but that it was the
fruits Of vicious legislation; that it in
poverished the people so that they all can
not own land and that they were tramps in

A PEOPLES MONEY.
The Opinion of a Voter and Producer on
the Money Circulation Question.
Editor OF the Gazette.


In order to have Z satisfactory money for
ordinary circulation, il is necessary that the
amount OF money in circulation be kept in
exact and unchanging ratio to the popula-
ton. This is simple justice between debtor
and creditor, for all recognize that initiation
Of the circulation makes the dollar repre-
sent less value, and hence makes debt pay
ing easier. while the contraction of the cur
rency has the opposite effect.
But, existing contracts and foreign eX-
changes disregarded, it would not make a
particle of difference how much money was
in circulation for 500 divided into 1000 le-
gal tender parts would exactly equal 81 di-
vided into 1000 legal tender parts for all
money purposes, the general circulation be
ing 100 times less in the latter case. The
prices of all exchangeable matter would be
simply scaled down 100 times and l cent
would do the work and afford the same
means OF value that 81 would in the higher
scale.
This proposition being self-evident the
cry of more money" is the political shib-
boleth of the debtors against the creditors,
of the South and West against the plethoric
East. Now if we regard as unjust the
scaling down of prices since the war by a
contracting currency when every debt con-
tracted during high prices is paid many
times over with contracted currency now

About six months ago a livery man did

the suffering Of the horses which We're

cigarettes, drinks whisky and beer and
swears like pirate. The soldiers and COW
boys are fast educating him into every sort
of depravity, while the Indians on the res

will stay with the white man ami learn his

foregoes that pleasure.
