HERE NOW. MIR. MILLS

Congressman Mills made speech TO
the state press association at Corsicana
last Tuesday, and exalted the liberty
of the press as the palladium of all
liberties. Freedom of discussion. he
said, was the guarantee of civil rights,
and the light shed by it illumined
darkness and exposed corruption in
public places.
Mr.. Mills will soon have an oppor-
tunity to prove that he believes what
he says, and that his expressions be-
fore the editors We're not merely empty
compliments to them. fitted to the
occasion. Upon the assembling and
organization of the next congress Mr..
Mills, as the accepted leader of the
majority in that body, can win for
himself applause and honor by bring
ing in a bill to give the press some
liberty of discussion that they are now
apparently debarred from. in speaking
of lotteries.
a Federal law, enacted by the last
congress, excludes from the public
mails any newspaper containing GER
tain matter relating to lotteries.
Under this law and its Interpretation
the postmaster of any obscure cross
roads office may suppress newspapers
edition, if it contains some far
fetched allusion to a lottery that does
not meet his austere views. The post
master at FL Paso has, we are told,
thrown out the whole mail edition of a
newspaper published in that town, be-
cause it printed a news item giving
the synopsis of the decision of the Lou
isiana supreme court in a lottery
case.
Now, Mr.. Mills, here is your chance.
The newspapers of Texas look to
you to use your great influence to free
them from this oppressive censorship:

The Fort Worth Convention.
Co,,s4o, DA-&

The Fort Worth convention has at least
formulated a plan whereby the state of
Texas may be represented in the Worlds
fair exhibit at Chicago
Upon the failure of the legislature to
make an appropriation for this purpose,
another convention became necessity.
The work of the Houston convention was
based upon the suppoSition that the legisla-
ture would make proper appropriations,
and OF course as soon as the legislature de-
faulted in this 1t became necessary to adopt
another method OF procedure. Fort Worth
took the initiative and the result has been
convention which suggests something
practical.
1t is proposed to organize under the laws
of Texas an association for the encourage
ment of agriculture and horticulture for
the maintenance of public fairs and the ex-
hibition of stock and farm products the en-
enlargement of immigration and the pro-
motion of education, to the end that Texas
be creditably represented at the Worlds
Columbian exposition. The authorized cap
ital stock of $500 600 is to be expended in
the erection and maintenance of an exhibit
ton building at Chicago.
A county to be permitted to make an eX
hibit in this building must first subscribe
and pay for shares in the association to the
amount. of 10 cents per capita of the popula-
ton according to the last census.
This plan of organization seems to be fea-
sible and practical, and now that method
of procedure has been outlined, there
should be no sort of doubt as to whether
Texas will be represented at the Worlds
fair. Every kind of convention that has
assembled in this state in the past eight
months has invariably resolved and de-
clared that Texas must be represented at
this great Worlds fair. Heretofore all
was vague and indefinite. Everybody said
it must he done, and now since the Fort
Worth convention has resulted in d practi-
cal plan, something can be done.
Every county in the state can be repre-
scented in the exhibit if its people only have
the pluck and enterprise to pay for the
requisite amount of stock, and it might be
fair to infer that county that was unable
to do this. would hardly possess any adj
vantages in soil, products or climate worth
showing. Having acquired the right to put
an exhibit in the Texas building at Chicago
it then devolves upon the people of the
county to get up the exhibit.
As soon as $4,000 shall have been sub
scribeG the association will be authorized to
commence business. The management will
be placed in the hands of seven directors
and an advisory board of thirtv-one, chosen
so that every senatorial district in the state
shall be represented.
There is every indication now that the
idea will be carried to successful issue,
and it is only a question with each indi-
vidual county whether or not it can afford
to remain at home while others fall into
line. The capitalist and future prospector
will be enabled to tell where the progressive
people of Texas dwell when that Texas ex-
hibit building shall have been completed.

THE VISITING CONDUCTORS.

On next Saturday Fort Worth will
be visited by delegation of prominent
members of the Order of Railway Con-
ductors, as announced in the railroad
columns of THE GAZETTE yesterday.
These are representative men from all
| portions of the Canadas, the United
States and Mexico. Representative
because they are the chosen delegates
of large and influential class of men,
men noted for courage and loyalty in
possibly the most dangerous service
known on land, that of railway train
service. These men come from the
snow-clad, cool regions of the North.
| and from beneath the blazing sun of
| the semi-tropics, from the iron-bound
coast Of the Atlantic and the sun-kissed
shores of the Pacific. They represent
all portions of the country and are
noted for their fidelity to their en-
ployers and the zeal with which they
perform their duties. They are men
used to meeting with all classes of peo-
pie, familiar with all manner of man.
kind and closely observant of the con-
dition of the various sections they may
visit.
1t behooves Fort Worth to accord to
these men hearty and cordial recep-
ton. They are not representatives of
powerful syndicates; they are not look
ing for investments; they are not
interested in money-making schemes,
and their reception should be all the
more warm and generous. 1t is with
them brief relaxation from the cares
and fatigues of their daily life; they
are out for the purpose Of seeing the
country and of meeting the people OF
Texas. They will be able upon their
return to speak calmly and dispassion-
ately OF the various cities they visit.
That speech will be, unconsciously per-
haps, but none the less surely, tinged
with the impression given them by the
reception accorded them. Let Fort
Worth see to it that her fame, for open
warm, generous hospitality, the
hospitality of the Sunny South
is amply redeemed. Let their
visit to Fort Worth be such as
will ever remain green spot in their
memory. The Order Of Railway Con-
ductors, to a man, is composed OF big
hearted, generous, manly men, any of
whom are capable of adjoining higher
ranks in life: men whom any people
might be proud to receive as guests
and do them honor. Wehave no doubt
that Fort Worth will give them such a
greeting that in the years to come they
can only speak OF the city and her peo-
pie in terms of admiration and affec-
tipO

CLARKSVILLE'S SENSATION.
IL. b. Wright Still Missing, and Each Day
Adds More Material to the Cause
of His Sudden Disappearance.
Special to the Gazette.

PARIS, TEX, May 17.-There are no new
developments in the II. B. Wright case as
regards his whereabouts. While MANY Of
his strongest friends incline to the belief
that he has committed suicide, others think
that he is yet in the vicinity of GAINESVILLE.
concealed by his friends awaiting responses
from relatives and others to help him settle
up. No one believes that he has ever in
tended to rob the people whose money he
used, but has been led on by the gamblers
hope of retrieving past misfortunes in
future success. Yet every moment almost
adds to the tale of funds misappropriated,
and brings to light damaging transactions
by which his peculations were concealed as
the local agent of loan companies. Pay
ments of interest and principal were made
to him by many people, and some have dis
covered that he never accounted for to the
companies and probably more will yet be
found. While he owned much realty, it
was also heavily mortgaged. His bank
stock, canning factory stock, and building
and loan stock, upon which local creditors
based hope of recovery, have been found to
be pledged as collateral for loans. 1t is al
most impossible that if alive he can escape,
as both Federal and state officers are on
sharp watch, stimulated by the rewards Of
fered. and his description has been sent out
broadcast.
A prominent attorney of this city, who
has been Investigating in the matter, thinks
there is enough material for dozen charges
of ENLIGHTENMENT. swindling and forgery.
There is no doubt that toward the last he
had become desperate and took any risk to
tide matters along. In 1888 a merchant
named Anderson assigned at GAINESVILLE,
his assets became tied up in litigation, the
proceeds, amounting to $4,000. were de-
posted in the First national bank here The
assignment was recently sustained and
Wright, as one of the attorneys for as
signee, made a trip here last Thursday and
endeavored to get this money, but owing to
some trivial defect in his papers the bank
would not pay it to him, and this fund was
saved. Wright still has devoted friends,
and one of them who is indorser for him to
the extent of $1,000, declared he would will
ingly lose it if it would relieve Wright from
prosecution, and others are of the same
loyal mind.

VIRTUE OF THE MCKINLEY BILL.

A shipment of italian queen bees is
held at the New York custom house,
but the consignee has been notified
that upon payment of fine. in the
nature of an import duty. he can have
them released. The Mckinley bill ex-
cludes from free entry all animals i'm
ported for breeding purposes, unless
they are recorded in a pedigree book,
and as bees are not pedigreed, the i'm
porter has TO pay 20 per cent of their
value for bringing these Italian bees to
this country.
OF course, this is as it should be.
We cannot allow our bees-our queen
bees. al that-to be brought into COM
potion with these pauper bees from
Italy, that work all through the flower
season storing up honey for the sweet
toothed capitalist. They have no re-
gard for the nine-hour day, and work
as long as daylight let them work.
They are alien in mind and in habit
They are Italians. too, and may belong
10 the Malta. Though it is against the
settled etiquette of well-bred American
queen bees to 60 armed. these Malta
bees, no doubt, carry poisoned daggers
with them, which renders them a
dangerous addition to our apiary popu-
lation. They are also clannish, and
swarm off TO themselves, and are open
10 other objections which will occur to
the mind of the thoughtful and patri-
otto citizen.
All honor to Mckinley and his bill,
which guards us from this threatened
invasion OF Italian brigand queen bees.

ONE GOOD ACCOMPLISHED.

The presidents swing around the
circle has accomplished one good at
least. 1t has brought him in contact
with the people of the South, whose
character and loyalty he had been dis
posed to underrate and question. His
meeting with them face to face and the
cordiality Of their manner towards
him. and the profound respect shown
him in his capacity of chief magistrate.
ought to convince him of their patriot
ism and desire to be esteemed as no
less faithful and loyal to the Union than
he is himself or any of his party. They
wanted only the opportunity to mani
fest that spirit. and when it came with
his tour through the South. they made
such demonstration of it as doubtless
greatly surprised and enlightened him.
The people of the South did all that
the most exacting could require of
them TO prove that they are anxious to
let bygones alone, and to clasp hands in
lasting fealty with all sections of the
Union as pledge of their devotion to
the constitution and the laws. II here

bigotry shall have the hardwood to

NO ShCLkERS,

Farmer Bill Shaw-whom THE GA
zETTE has had Il good deal of fun with
-denounces the signers of the Austin
circular fer ''skulking" at the Waco
convention. We suppose Farmer Shaw
means that they didn't attend the
Waco convention. and their staying
away was ''skulking"
As THE GAZETTE understood that
remarkable gathering, it was purely a
private affair, and only those with
cards Of invitation and door tickets
were allowed TO get in. 1t was called
by Evan Jones, DR.. Macune and
Steerer Tracey do work that they had
laid out for it. That work was to
whitewash Macune and Tracey and
condemn the Alliance members who
sent out the Austin circular. They
picked the men to do the work that
had been designed. and called them to-
gether. The others were ignored.
Rogers. McCunningham, Sellers and
other Alliance members of the legis-
lature We're the men to be pilloried.
and it was not the proper thing to have
them at the entertainment. They were
not there. They had no invitation.
They had no cards of admission. If
they had presented themselves at the
door it is not likely that they could
have got in. They didn't skulk.

Nothing else could have been expected
from a body OF sane men,. There are
a number of good Democrats who are
likely to be considered when the time
comes for the states to instruct their
delegates TO the national convention.
1t would be very widely out of place
for lot of men who were not elected
for that purpose, and who have no in

that Kentucky is for Mr.. Cleveland for
president as against all other men.

The race is not always to the swift,
or words to that effect. William
Simms of Waynetown, Ind, agrees
with Scriptural authority on that point.
He was candidate for treasurer of his
county. and he and Frank Hollowell,
his opponent, each received 1923 votes.
They agreed to settle the contest by
running foot race. Simms was a
long-legged Hoosier, and easily led in
the race, until within three yards of
the goal, when his legs got mixed up
with each other and he fell. Hollo-
well fell over him, but he rolled over
the line and won the race, and the
Office.
