WORLDS FAIR WORK.
An Enthusiastic Meeting Held in Houston

HOUSTON, Tex, Oct. 12.-The first
enthusiastic impetus to Worlds Fair
work in South Texas was given the
movement in this city tonight in the
nature of a mammoth Worlds Fair
mass meeting, held at the large City
Hall where able and enthusiastic
speeches were delivered by
Thos. J. Hurley, president, and
D. d. Bryan, secretary Of the
Texas Worlds Fair Association; the
two chief officers of the state organi-
cation, both of whom are doing eX-
cellent and efficient work in arousing
an interest throughout Texas in the
Worlds Fair work. President Hur-
lev and Secretary Bryan are
now engaged in patriotic canvass
of southern Texas, and some very
good results are expected as a result
of their present campaign.
Henley has wonderful fund of in
formation, regarding the proposed
magnitude of the grand fair and
he detailed it in most inter-
esting way. The assessment against
this city for the Worlds fair fund is
about $1,000, and from the enthusiasm
now aroused the local committee an
ticipate no trouble in raising this
amount. Houston is the native city

FROM Fort Worth also comes the
cry that the schools are overcrowded,
and the scholastic population has in
creased too rapidly for the accommo-
dations. Nearly every city in the
state is suffering from the same trou-
bic. This shows the rate at which i'm
migration is pouring into Texas. The
builders of school houses, instead OF
building for present needs, should
take the states growth into considera'
ton and save money by being little
more liberal.

The snake editor of the Memphis
Appeal wrote up the
fashion notes recently, and though he
missed some minor technicalities, he
made himself understood. This is
one of the notes: "The winter hat
which the ladies will appear in soor
is curiosity. 1t is made of wire and
beads, and weighs IS pennyweights,
1t is the size of a hardshell crab, and
the shape of sore finger. The in

have been exhausted in it's conception.

THE REIGN or JOBBERY.

The Philadelphia Record says;
s"That a mansion on Fifth avenue,
New York, which caught fire on Thurs
day last should in fifteen minutes
have been Quilted from floor to roof is
significant commentary on the
methods of modern house-building IN
which only ornament and display are
sought, while ordinary precautions
against danger are neglected on the
theory that inflammable conditions
could not exist in a mansion the
builders of hundred years ago knew
nothing of modern improvements; Dut
they wrought in what Emerson calls
"a sad sincerity"
The above is significant comment
on the methods of building, winch
make it possible for such swift and
sudden destruction to sweep through
a house. The cause of it lies not so
much in the attempt at display as in
the fact that 'tiobbery" and fraud are
more widespread than they used to
be. Many magniticentpublic build
ing, costing many thousands of dol
lars, is mere" Buddenseik job, " shod-
dy in material and workmanship.
Let it once catch fire, and in half an
hour it is consumed, and the poorly
walls have fallen in, al
most to the foundations. There are
exceptions, of course, but the builders
who wrought in "a sad sincerity"
would be very old fashioned nova

The Republican candidate for Governor of
Kentucky is Hon. Henry d. Huston, an ex-
confederate soldier, who served in the South
ern armies four years. In 1860 he was a sup
porter OF Bell and Everett, but went with
the south Wien hostilities commenced. In
1872 he preferred Grant to Greedy, and has
been Republican since. He is thorough
southerner, interested In the moral land ma
terial prosperity of that portion of the
country. On July l4th, he spoke at Mays
vile. Kentucky. on the issues OF the cam
paign. At the conclusion of his speech
he devoted considerable time to the
federal election bill of the last Con-
gress. He said the Democrats seemed
Mortified at the idea of the bill which had
proposed to provide for a free election and
fair count in districts In which fraud mas
been the rule. But on this idea of free
election and fair count of the votes as cast
depended civil liberty in this country AS
this is the basis of all free government, a
farewell must be given to American liberty
when the people are ready to hand over to
an intolerant oligarchy the privilege of de-
Gliding who may and who shall not exercise
the right OF suffrage. This idea once ad-
mitted leads straight to despotism, more
vicious than that under which Rome groaned
In the days of the Empire. The same toll
GRANGE which now forbids the vote of man
because he is black, will soon find pretext
for tramplng upon the rights of their white
feilow-citizens, until 1t will have completely
established an odious and invidious rule of a
class. This is the view of a conservative
man who lives in al state where the conditions
demanding federal election bill are well
understood His description of the control

"intolerant oligarchy" was particularly
happy. He might have .added also the word

mere unsoundness were sufficient to put
through an Ohio convention free coinage
resolution, what can be expected in the 9th
er Western and Southern States where
coupled with the same unsoundness are
special motives, such as the desire to create
market for an important product and to
scale down oppressive debts due to eastern
capitalists? Surely nothing weaker In the
way of free coinage resolution.
As for the East, it is probable that in most
of the States the majority of the Democracy
are today opponents of free coinage. ana
yet right here in Maine Of the two principal
organs of the Democracy one, the Eastern
Argus, is on the fence, hesitating to express
a definite opinion on either side, while the
other, the Bangor Commercial, comes out
fiat footed in favor of the Ohio platform In
these words:
and unlimited coinage OF silver are in accord
with sound Democratic principles and policy.
Gold and silver are the money Of the consultation
and the recommendation of the latter was a crime
against the people. This crime the Democratic
party SEEKS so Tar as possible TO undo and If will
ia Ds aetefrea from It's purpose on account OF
t i VIEWS OF any individual whose utterances on
me question are formulated wi hin the shadow Of
Wall street "
In less than year the national Democratic
convention will be held. Were that conyen-
ZION TO meet tomorrow there can scarcely be
doubt that the delegates from all the West
ern and Southern States would demand
resolution In favor Of the flee coinage of sill
ver' The Ohio Democracy are doubtless
more Inclined to conservatism on this ques-
ton than the Democracy of any other West
ern or Southern State and yet majority of
them have demanded and compelled the
insertion of free coinage resolution in a
platform prepared in view of an election,
the result of which could have no direct
bearing on the question. Would they be
less insistent In the case of a platform
prepared in view of an election which
had direct bearing on this matter,
and the outcome of which would in all prob
ability settle it for years? 1t is possible that
between now and the holding of the next
national Democratic convention change
may come over the Democratic attitude
toward the currency, though highly i'm
probable, but if the convention were held to-
morrow 1t is just about as certain as sunrise
that the party would be committed to free
coinage of silver. The West and South
would be practically unanimous for it, while
judging from the attitude of the Argus and
the Commercial one of the Eastern states at
least could not be depended upon to oppose
it very strenuously.

The Democrats and FreesiIver,

Democrats as arule are read eto compro-
mise. When they can dodge troublesome
question, especially question which Is not
directly involved in pending campaign,
they are pretty likely to do it unless they
feel very strongly Indeed on the subject.
And the Democrats Of Ohio are especially
prone to resort to this lodging business. 1t
was the Ohio Democracy who evolved the
famous straddle resolution On the tariff
question. When. therefore, convention
OF Ohio Democrats resolved in favor of the
unlimited scoinage of silver, resolved in
favor of opening the United States treasury
to all the silver product of the bonanza kings
OF the West and all the silver celn and bullion
that are burdening the Europeans, when it
resolved that every man, woman and child
in this country and every man, woman and
child in any other part of the world, might
forward to the United States minis eighty
cents worth Of silver and get something In
return that would pay dollars worth of
Indebtedness In this country, when it
resolved in favor Of these things in face of
the danger which was pointed out that
such resolution would leopard votes
In the coming campaign, and in face of the
fact, too, that the resolution was in the ma
ture OF a supertluity, lnasmucn as there were
no congressman to be elected, it is obvious
that the majority of the Ohio Democracy
are very strongly welded to free silver and
very tenacious of their views. 1t amounts to
very little to say that a large minority of the
delegates were opposed to the free coinage
resolution. Indeed that fact only serves to
emphasize the determination of the majority.
Had the opposition been feeble, had the dan
gers Of the resolution not been carefully
pointed out, it could havelbeen plausibly
argued that the resolution slipped through
without full understanding of its purport
and therefore did not necessarily imply that
the majority Of the Ohio Democrats were
determined to force free silver coinage. and
that when the matter was fully argued they
would recede from the stand they had taken.
As 1t Is, the resolution must be accepted as
meaning that the Democracy of Ohio have
taken their stand deliberately and after full
consideration in favor of the free and un-
limited coinage of the silver dollar.
But the resolution is not only conclusive
of the attitude Of the Ohio Democracy on the
silver question. it is also very significant of
the attitude which the Democrats in other
Western and Southern States will assume
toward that question. ONO is not pro-
ducer of silver, so the furnishing of a mar
ket for one of her products could not have
inquired as motive for the passage of this
iree coinage resolution. Ohio farms are not
heavily mortgaged to eastern "gold bugs" so
'ne nope Oh scaling down debts by means of
oneap currency could have had little
weisnt. as lar as can be seen the resolution
was nolhing more or less than the expression
