STIRRING UP THE PEOPLE.

The fight over the sub-treasury Is
raging in Mississippi more heatedly
than in Texas. President Polk of the
National Alliance aud Congressman
Livingston, the Alliance representative
from Georgia, are conducting cam
paign OF education" in that state, and
great crowds flock together to listen to
their speeches. Col. Hooker. a Demo-
cratic congressman and one OF the
most effective speakers in the country,
is canvassing the state against the SUBJ
treasury, and his audiences are as large
as those that go to hear the two AL
lance campaigners. The people OF the
state are wrought up as in an ordinary
political campaign, and the interest is
extending.
That is good for the cause of truth.
Once get the people a-thinking, and
while their logical ratiocination may
not be exact, and may for a while in
volve them in error, it will bring them
at last to the right conclusions. The
main thing is to arouse them to take an
interest in political work. A big crowd
may think wrong and do wrong as well
as small crowd may, but if they think
at all they are not SO likely to do wrong
as if they did not think. More good
than evil will come of this stirring up
of things in Mississippi.

more in the South than it gains in the
East.

! How much better will the Interna-
tional and Great Northern railroad
fare in the hands of the United States
court receiver, with such allowances as
were made George Clark and young
Mccormick in the Cotton Belt case, or
the receivers of the Texas and Pacific
and Houston and Texas Central rail-
road cases? Waco not only wants the
pie that belongs to it territorially. but
wants Tylers pie when there isn't
enough to go around at home. II the
stockholders and freight payers are to
suffer, let it be by state courts, where
they at least can change the judge,
rather than by United States judges
that hold for life and laugh at criti-
cism, and cannot be investigated. The
people are being made to pay for an in
vestigation in the interest OF personal
politics and rival litigants.

THE COMMISSION AND RAILWAY
BUILDING.

As regards the matter of future railway
construction in Texas, the Dallas News
prints this item:
A gentleman from Southern Texas said to
News reporter last night: ''Notwith
standing the prediction made by Mr. Gould,
believe there will be considerable railroad
construction in Texas within the next two
years. Unless Mr. Gould's combination
gobbles the entire railway system of the
state l don't see how it can be otherwise.
Another paper quotes a prominent rail
way man as saying that the extent of rail
way construction in the state will depend
almost wholly upon the attitude of the CON-
mission; that Capitalists do not care to put
their money at the mercy of a political COM
mission; that if the commissioners prove
that they are inclined to do the right thing
and act fairly by the roads, well and good,
otherwise railroad building in Texas will be
practically dead"
OF course there is something in this, but
if railway construction is to depend upon
the attitude of the commission the Post
feels sure that the people have nothing to
apprehend in this respect. The commits
sioners are all good men, thorough Texans
with the good of the state at heart, fully
endowed with common sense, and there is
absolutely no grounds upon which to base
an opinion that they will act otherwise
than fairly and justly to the roads and peo-
pie alike.
The best thing the newspapers and all
others can do is to stop these predictions of
the bad to come, wait patiently and judge
the commission by its performances
Houston Post.
During the canvass for ''Hogg and
commission" it was freely asserted, by
press and Individuals, that Texas would
be ruined by the election of Hogg and
the adoption of the commission amend
ment. THE GAZETTE then protested
against the folly of such assertions, and
the railroad construction now going
on, and that contemplated, is proof of
the ignorance or insincerity of the OPP
ponents of Hogg and commission.
Time makes all things even.

A MAN who can only answer by say
ing thing is un-Democratic, and then
can't point to the plank in the platform
violated, should be laughed out of the
fight. Men go to the national platform
for their politics on national issues, and
TO the state platform for their politics
ON state issues. No individual OR set
OF individuals have power to judge a
mans Democracy. The free Democracy
of Texas, the men who elect the ticket,
have made up their minds that the
party will get out of the breastworks
and pitch a battle on well defined lines

IF, as predicted by Mr.. Carlisle and
other Democratic leaders, reduction
in the tariff means no reduction in the
annual revenue, then where will the
deficit come in on which to issue legal
tenders? If we are 10 have banks of
circulation instead of national banks,
on what basis will they secure the
government for legal tenders advanced

A RAILROAD COMBINE.

The Chicago Herald of recent date
gives out some information concerning
the plans Of the Western traffic associa-
ton, formed about six months ago, that
will be of interest to the reading pub
lie. From the facts stated the Herald
concludes that, innocent as it appeared
| at first, the association has recently de-
veloped the purposes and attributes of
| a giant trust or combine such as the
| law frowns on.
General Manager Walker of the
traffic association sent a secret order
June IL to the managers OF the lines of
| railroads in the association, instructing
them to furnish no information con-
corning the association or the business
of the roads represented in it to any
newspaper Or representative thereof.
Any disregard Of the instructions will
draw after it consequences similar to
those experienced by Traffic Manager
Leeds of the Missouri Pacific, who was
oiSShoi SSu iSSCutiS 3oi SuteiiS Idtcos
The instructions have a peculiar sig
nificance at this time, when questions
of vital importance and great public in
terest are under consideration by the
association, whose decisions are anx-
iously awaited. These questions, or
two Of the most important, relate to a
division of traffic, virtually a pooling
arrangement, and the creation of joint
agencies. The roads interested in the
association are known as the ''Big
Six" and are said to be completely un-
der the control of Gould. The combi-
nation is powerful one, that can Grip
Pile other lines that may be disposed to
do an independent business, and oppose
joint agencies or traffic division, or
whatever schemes the combine resorts
to for its own aggrandizement.
There is something dark and sinister
in the instructions to general managers,
forbidding, under severe penalties, the
giving of any news concerning the as
sociation to the press. Public senti-
ment win hardly indorse an order Of
that sort, or look with favor on CO..

A LIFE SENTENCE.
Sam Cookstone Declared Guilty of Murder
at Clarksville-District Court
Doings.


Special to the Gazette.
GAINESVILLE. RED RIVER COUNTY, TEX,
June 20.-The jury in the Sam Cookstone
case brought in verdict at $50 this morn
ing, finding the defendant guilty of murder
in the first degree and assessing his punish
ment at confinement in the penitentiary for
life. Cookstone was charged with the
murder of Deputy Sheriff Levi Whiteman
last March. The evidence showed that he
(CookstOne) and John Toms and Pruit Nc
Gowan, each of whom have been convicted
of four felonies and received sentences at
this term of court. had formed con-
spiracy to rob and steal for liv-
ing, and to die before theyQ would
surrender, (which resulted in Whiteman's
death while. trying to capture them, an ac-
count of which appeared in THE GAZETTE
at the time. The defendant was ably rep
resented by Messrs. S. W. Harmon and w.
w. John son. james II. Lyday assisted the
district attorney in the prosecution.
There have been eighteen felony convic-
lions at this term of the district court
which has just closed.

CUT-THRoAT personal politics and a
desire to get the receivership in the
Federal court seems to have been at
the bottom of the International rail-
road receivership. As extravagant as
they were, the allowances were not so
much as the Mccormick and Clark al
lowance IN the Cotton Belt case. That
was SO enormous that it caused men,

called out the Dear Coke and Dear
George" letter still familiar in Texas
political literature.

THE Democratic party in Texas is in
no danger, but those leaders or Office
holders who want it to evade a live
issue are in danger. No men will go
to the congress or remain there by
solemnly declaring his opposition to
the national bank system or the sub
treasury bill. The average Demo-
cratic voter has made up his mind to
know what he favors or keep him at
home. What specific method is pro-
posed to put this legal tender in circu-
lation?

SUBJECTS FOR THE DEMOCRATIC
CLUBS.

u
Hazel Dell, presenting number OF
categorical interrogationst that relate to
the welfare of the Democratic party,
propounded to our correspondent by
enemies of Democracy. We call the
attention of Mr.. Gibbs to this matter,
and suggest that he have these ques-
tions considered and debated in the
Democratic clubs that he is organizing.
| The only fault we have to find with
them is that they are not comprehen-
sive enough. There are several ques-
tions that are omitted from the cate
chism, which might claim place there
as being. as relevant as the others. The
proposers of these questions should not
! have limited themselves to so narrow a
field of inquiry, as long as they are in
quest OF knowledge. We will mention
few more that might with propriety
be considered along with the others.
l. Is the Democratic party of the pa-
ton the author of the Reconstruction
acts and the Fourteenth amendment?
If so, why and how, and what for?
2. Was the nomination of Horace
Greeley by the Democratic party the
carrying out of an agreement to that
effect made with him when he went on
jeff Davis bond?
3. What deep, dark Democratic con-
spiracy led to Ben Buffers candidacy
for president in 1883?
4. If gold is demonetized, won't the
Wall street silver-bugs make the bonds
payable in silver, and compel us to
charter freight train at heavy ex-
pense when we send money East to re-
deem the bonds?
5. Why didn't the Mills tariff bill
pass the last congress, with the house,
senate and presidency in the hands of
the Republicans?
E. Does Governor Hogg wear cor
set?
!. Why did Senator johnson vote for
an elective commission after he had
prepared a bill for an appointive COM
mission?
S. Will Governor Hogg order the
commission to tear up the tracks of the
railroads if they don't come up liber-
ally with contributions to the Demo-
ocratic campaign fund next summer?
9. Why does the Democratic party,
being Southern party, continue to
hold down the price OF cotton, which is
Southern product?
Here are some really important
questions to be thought over and an
swered, after those have been salts
factorily settled that our correspond
'ent asks. These latter have prece-
dence, as being first presented, but we
submit that those propounded by The
GAZETTE are more searching and will
more clearly bring out the villainous
and revolutionary designs of the Dem
ocratic party. Turn on the calcium. Z

estingly About 1t.
Editor Gazette.
The attention of teachers and those in
terested in the North Texas summer nor
NAL is invited to the following statements ::
Professor 7. G.. Harris having been
elected superintendent of the Dallas city
schools has, on this account, resigned as as
sociate principal of our normal. His resigna-
ton was offered too late to be mentioned in
our announcements, which have been
widely circulated.
We regret to part with Professor Harris,
but the Normal management has been eX-
ceeding fortunate in securing a gentleman
for this vacancy of such scholarly attain
ments and Intellectual ability that no loss
will result to the Normal.
The gentleman referred to is Professor
w. H. Kimbrough of Fort Worth He is a
graduate of Carson college, Tennessee, of
the class Of 1881 has had ten years success
full experience as teacher He is regarded
by those who know him as one of the ablest
school men in Texas. Time is the only ele-
ment necessary to render this fact well
known throughout the state. He is re-
markedly well adapted to the position to
which he has been chosen. No better sum-
mer normal will be found this year in Texas
than the one which opens at Fort Worth
University, Wednesday, July 1, 1891, at
S:15 a. m.
Our principals are Superintendent James
NJ. Carlisle and Professor w. H. Kim
brough, who will have charge of profess
siOnal work. grammar, mathematics, civil
government and history. Professor P. NJ.
White will have charge of the department
of science. Miss Marine Harrison Of Waco
female college has literature, language and
geography. Professor S. P. Render will
give lessons in penmanship. He is grad
uateof the business college of Hartford,
KY, and teachers wilfenioy an excellent
opportunity to improve in this important
branch, which is so sadly neglected in many
of our schools. Miss Sallie Gibbon, who is
now in the East attending some of the best
schools for teachers in America, will return
to Fort Worth and have charge Of the pri-
mary work in our normal
The department of vocal music will be
conducted by Mrs. E. o. Evans, and her
success in the past assures profit and inter-
est to all who attend the normal this sum-
mer.
One tuition fee admits those who attend
to every department. Board at the uni
versity or in private families, very reason
able. The prospects are good for large at
tendance. Letters are coming in rapidly
asking for board.
