WIDEN THE SCOPE.

The San Antonio Express makes the fol-
lowing sensible suggestion: The railroad
advertising contracts of the Galveston and
Dallas News have attracted universal at
tention throughout the state. and elected
much discussion of the question of press
subsidization and its extent. In discussing
railroad matters, the subsidized press has
been n favorite theme with most of the op-
ponents of the railway corporations, and
now that the matter has been given so much
prominence through the case of the News,
il would be a good idea to have the legisla-
tive committee in session at Galveston
widen its scope of investigation a little and
ascertain what amounts of money have
been paid during the past few years to pa
pers for the purpose of influencing their
utterances, and to whom paid. The Elk
press understands that Mr.. Waldo is to ap-
pear before the committee, and for ten or
twelve years past at least he has been in u
position to know all about such matters
Let Mr. Waldo be Intercepted on this sub
ject. Let us know all the facts, if every
general railroad official in the state
has to be summoned before the COM
mittee. The bearing it would have
on the International and Great Northern
receivership case would justify the COM
mittee into going into the inquiry And
when MIR Waldo is called let him also state
how much he paid other newspapers for
advertising the various railroads in the
state, and how it was paid And when the
committee finishes with Mr. Waldo let it
call B. B. Paddock, and Morgan Jones, and
c. F. Meek, and let the full and exact
truth be known about the press of the state
and its connection with the railroads. This
can all be brought in as easily and with as
much propriety as what has already been
put in evidence Waco Day.
The Express and the Day are right
the press as whole is upon trial. Let
ali the truth come out for the sake of
the truth and of the press. What
about railroad advertisements in other
newspapers than the Galveston-Dallas
News?
Did the railroads in meeting assem-
bled in New Orleans pass resolution
to raise fund for any other paper than
the News?
Did the railways make Jumping
contract" with any other paper than
the News for advertising?
Did the New. Orleans meeting of
Texas railroads raise fund to be dis
bursed where it would do the most
good against railroad legislation?
Widen the scope.

the sub-treasury. If that is not despot-
ism, what is it? If it is not bigoted po-
litical intolerance, what is it? What
right has Mr.. Polk to cram political
creed of his own down the threats of
those Alliance members that cannot
swallow it without gagging? Has he
authority to call for the resignation of
all officers of the national Alliance
that do not agree with his radical no.
tions of finance? If so, Mr. Polk is the
Alliance, the embodiment OF its power
and authority, and the rest are only
puppets to jump when he pulls the
string.
We have been accustomed of late TO
regard Speaker Reed as the most IL
lustrious type of the political boss, but
he will have to step aside for the North
Carolina Boanerges. if that gentleman
be as arrogant and domineering as he
seems to be-
In this state the Alliance leaders, or
some of them, displayed a similar
despotic disposition towards those of the
rank and file that disapproved of the
sub-treasury, and the result Is the or
gan;zation is rent in twain. There is
schism, division and bad blood. Let
Mr.. Polk continue that autocratic
policy and the national Alliance will
divide as it has done in Texas.

The Alien Land Law Again.

Editor Gazette.
1t was stated in an interview reported in
the columns of your valuable paper that
discussed the alien land law prior to its
passage at Austin, and interposed no OBJ
iections. Now, in order to set myself right
on this question, take the liberty of pub
fishing the following letter just received
this morning, which I think will make the
matter clear:
OFFICE OF WOODS & GossETT, LAWYERS,
KAUFMAN. TEX, June q, 1891.
Mr. c. 81. Silliman, Fort Worth, Tex.
DEAR SIR-Replying to yours of the 25th
instant, | regret to say that am unable to
furnish you with a copy of the original
draft of the alien land bill
The law as it passed was a substitute
house bill, prepared by a subcommittee. of
which was chairman, and was reported in
lieu of three original bills on the same sub
lect. 1 introduced one of the three original
bills, but have not copy of it, nor of the
substitute bill that passed
IT there is any further information which
] can give, advise me, and it will afford me
pleasure to respond. Yours truly.
M. FL. GossETT.
= In speaking of the law, 1 supposed was
discussing one of the three original bills,
and not the substitute which passed The
original bill which saw did not interfere
with the taking of security on real estate in
the remoteSt degree, except that it con-
tanned provision which required the COM
pany to dispose of such land within ten
years, a very reasonable provision, to which
no one could object. 1t seems, however,
that substitute was prepared and rushed
through the Legislature the day before adj
journment. ] doubt if this substitute was
ever printed before its passage or seriously
considered by the members of the legisla-
ture. Respectfully, c. FL. SILLIMAN.

REALTY AND BUILDING.
SETTLE TARRANT COUNTY AND
HELP FORT WORTH.
The Rain Will be of Great Benefit to This
Section-The Catholic Church
Building-Transfers.

The rain yesterday interfered with trad
ing, but that can easily be hefne when it is
known that thousands of dollars of benefit
will accrue to Fort Worth and Tarrant
county as a result of the blessed rain. 1t is
the Judgment of the best farmers that a
bountiful crop of corn Is low assured be-
yond peradventure and cotton has been
vastly benefited. Vegetables and fruit have
also been helped. Good crops mean much
for the real estate owner in many ways ap-
parent to all.
There were two deeds fled for record
yesterday which indicate that Bishop
Brennan is preparing to make the loan of
SIS, 900, which money will be used in push
ing the work on ST. Patrick's Catholic
church in this city. The deeds in question
are from the Bishops at Galveston to
Bishop Brennan of this diocese. 1t is I'M
derstood that arrangements for the loan
have been made The expenditure of S25.-
900 at this time in dressing the stone for
this church will give employment to 4 num-
Der of skilled stone cutters and stone ma
sons.

GAR POLK.

As member of the national Alliance
legislative committee, President Hall
of the Missouri Alliance has given dire
offense to President Polk of the ma
tional Alliance. Since his appointment
said, Mr.. Hall has combatted the sub
treasury idea. as he had a right to do.
His reason and common sense tell him
that the idea is wild and visionary, if
not worse. He has never assented to
it. and was opposed to it when placed
upon the committee. Now Gar Polk
advises him. as we are told, that he
must either resign his place on the
committee or else cease opposition 10

CITIZENS of Dallas are beginning to

CITIZENS of Dallas are beginning to
spend their Sundays in Fort Worth.
The fine churches. the splendid street
car service, the delightful baths of the
natatorium and the glorious breezes
attract them. If Fort Worth could
offer these people and the general
public hotel accommodations, ample
and attractive, more good would come
to the town than any man has yet be-
lieved could come. 1t would pay Fort
Worth to build fine hotel and give it
TO some man who would furnish and
run it in first-class style.

A Fine OpDortunity.

There is no man in Fort Worth who will
dispute the proposition that an increase in
the producing population of Tarrant
county will add to the prosperity of our re-
tail merchants and enhance the value of
Fort Worth real estate. This city to-day
gives market for much more wheat. oats
and corn than the county produces. Few,
If any, counties in Texas have richer soil
than this, but there are scores OF sections of
land within the county which are not cult
waited. 1t would not be Il difficult matter to
put 10. 900 people in this county i'll the next
two years. People who would add hun
dreds of thousands of dollars in real
wealth. Some time ago The GAZETTE
made mention of the efforts of President
Morgan Jones of the Wichita Valley road
to put people along the line of that road.
He has appointed Mr. NJ. G. Machet as i'm
migration agent, and that gentleman has
gone to work with a will He seeks TO To-
cate French Catholic farmers in this por
ton of the state. He has the
Gallagher and many other dignitaries
of the Catholic church and will bring the
best class of immigrants. Tarrant county
could induce him to devote some of his eff
forts to filling up his own county. The
Catholics Of this city, the French citizens of
Fort Worth and the railroads of this county
can all help in this work A factory en-
ploying 200 men is great thing for this
city, but a greater thing would be the loca
ton of 5000 to 10, 900 people within radius
of ten Or fifteen miles of this city who
would trade with US and help us build up
the waste places. Every real estate agent
in this city and every merchant in this city
is interested in this matter AS the first
result of Mr.. Machet's efforts a gentleman
who represents twenty-five people arrived
in Fort Worth last night to accompany
Mr.. Machet to Archer county to buy land
Put 100, 900 people in Tarrant county out
side of Fort Worth, and what could Fort
Worth not hope for in the near future!
People give value to real estate.

l saw and designed the difference be-
tween ''everybody's gold and silver and
everybodys gold and silver coins. - but for
the sake of brevity said nothing in that
connection about its apparent effect on your
financial creed but further down l amended
the apparent oversight and its seeming
damage to your creed by suggesting that
the government receive all the gold and
silver bullion and give certificates in ex-
change for it, which could go into circula-
ton. This would give the same relief as
coming all the gold and silver as fast as it
came, and the certificates would bear the
government fiat and rest on real wealth at
the same time.
Whenever greater amount of coin
should be needed the government could
order an increase of the output of the mint
but such increase of coin would cause no
increase in circulation for the circulation
will have been already increased by issuing
the certificates, and they will be redeemed
in coin ON demand.
As you acknowledge the certificates of
the government for the gold and silver are
virtually the same thing as the coins. you
will probably not object to my amendment
to your creed. B.
