CLOTHING.

A trial has convinced people that
BURK- MADE CLOTHING is every
thing it is represented to be. Why don't
you try it Those $3.50 Overcoats we
already spoke of are eye-openers for
clothing-buyers. How can you sell them
at $3.50? and ordinations of the kind
come pouring in our ears every day. We
have them in light and dark shades,
light, medium, and heavy weights. To
match them would cost you no less than
$40. Our Overcoats are not common,
slop-shop, ready-made garments. They
fit well and look as we'll as those turned
out by the finest merchant tailors. We
have some as low as $3.50 and as high as
$50. We know we can find one to suit
you il you'll look through.

far worst than the political tyranny
that would compel a man to join either
the Republican or the Democratic party
or else be disfranchised. a man can live
very comfortably without voting, but
not without work, il he be poor man.
Again the road has right to fix its
| methods and rules OF business and en-
ploy such labor as offers whether it be
| union or non-union. Outside OF
politics. the rule governing in
all such cases is competency and
efficiency. In railroading this is
peculiarly the case where a public
duty has to be performed without re-
gard to cost or the difficulty OF execu-
ton. Trains must run aud freight be
accepted and forwarded as prescribed
by law, or the road forfeits its charter.
1t has no choice in the matter. It
must be prompt and reliable. It must
serve the public with punctuality and
dispatch. There is no alternative. To
do these things requires not only theS
skill and competency of its employees,
bit their steadiness ard reliability.
Where, as in most instances, unions
are controlled and guided by practical
and sensible men, the best results are
attained, and all troubles and disputes
are amicably settled without friction.
1t sometimes occurs that q union is
badly guided, and then there is apt to
be trouble and striking. OF course
strike may be proper and right when a
road mistreats its men. But it should
always be the last resort, and not as
sometimes occurs, almost the first.
Organized labor has its rights, and
corporations have theirs. Each should
be tolerant of the rights of the other,
if it would command the support of
public opinion

REALTY AND BUILDING.

RANT COUNTY CAN BE BUILT.
Status of the Government Building-Real
Estate Outlook-Hotel Enlargement.
Some Notes of Prosress-Transfers.

Deeds were recorded yesterday which
conveyed over $4,000 of Fort Worth real
estate. Most of the transfers were Of in
side property. While the dealing in real
estate is by no means dull, the real estate
agents all agree that it will soon be
much more active than at present.
Some look for 4 complete revival as soon
as the splendid crops in sight begin TO
be marketed, others say It will be October
before 4 complete revival sets in. c. f.
Trice, who has studied the situation
closely gives it as his opinion that several
projects on foot Tor Fort Worth
will have much TO do with fixing the time
when real estate IS as active rs it was
twelve and fifteen months ago, but
regardless of these things he says
there is no doubt that sales viii
increase until in December the market
will be extremely active. The
money situation grows better daily, loans
are being made on real estate and the belief
is general that millions of dollars of English
gold will soon seek investment in the United
States in legitimate enterprises, the English
people having become tired or the
wildcat speculations in South America
and Africa, the collapse of which caused
the furry last year. There is not u man
who handles real estate who does not say
that Fort Worth property is low at present
figures

WACO TEX, May 27-Readers will re-
member the will contest which has become
a cause celebre between Peter McClelland,
Jr., and w. l. Prather, in which McClell-
and is attempting to break the will of his
father which appointed Prather trustee of
an estate valued at over half
a million, allowing McClelland a
yearly allowance. Mrs Johanna
McClelland, wife of deceased, has been act
ing as administrative of the estate and to-
day she filed her final report, asking the
court to dismiss her. Prather came into
court and made application to be appointed
administrator to succeed Mrs. McClelland
and Peter, junior, made application that
some other than Prather De appointed. The
court reserves his decision until Tuesday,
when it is probable a party not interested
will receive the appointment. The Will in
question appointed w. l.. Prather trustee of
the estate for twenty-five years and at
the end Of that time, should
he consider Peter, junior, who is now
over thirty years of age, capable Of manag
ing his own affairs, Prather was to step
out. McClelland, junior, considers the state
his by inheritance and objects 10 an out

decisions have been given from several diff
ferent courts, and at present an appeal is
pending il the higher Texas courts, made

The Intruder Question.
Special to the Gazette.

SptSItil 10 lut GaEeksc.
ARDMoRE, L T. May 27.-Congressman
Mansur. who is one OF the commit
tee on Indian affairs, and takes great in
terest in all tribal matters, when speaking
of the intruder question in 4 recent inter-
view, said:
There are two courses open to the Fed
eral government, namely: The first, a
policy of non-action and non-interference !;
passive acquieSence in the existing condi-
tions. This policy could be based upon the
ground that as the Indians claimed, the
treaties were made for their benefit, and as
they had first invited the white man to their
country, (Which is a fact,) therefore the
Federal government will not interfere as
between white men with and without per-
mits, and will leave the Indians to solve
their own problem. Second, the Indians
now ask the expulsion of the intruders.
Might not the government adopt this plan2
Whereas the Indian country was set apart
for Indian people and the policy OF isOla
ton stipulated by treaty, being regarded
equally by the Indians and the United
States until the system of permits grew up,
therefore the Federal government could
well say to the ChiclSasaws and Cherokees
intrudeTs, All right, we will listen and
obey. If one goes, all must 90, therefore,
we will turn out every white man other
than traders Indian agents, court officials
and soldiers This, the second, might be
termed the heroic plan.
las to the first policy of non-interfer-
ence: The moment the white people of the
United States should understand that
this was the fixed purpose OF
the Federal government, it is safe
to say that 100000 whites would
come at once. Their presence would solve
the Indian problem. The Indian would, of
necessity, seek statehood and allotment
and American citizenship, so that through
the courts ne might bring about ejectment
ind maintenance of rights.
LAS TO the second plan-the heroic one:
The Indian hates to work, even as the devil
hates holy water and with his tastes for
all the comforts and luXurieS of civilization,
which have been afforded him by means Of
the rental OF grounds and the permit sys-
TEN and the working of the same plan by
the whites, he would be loath to give them
all up. The mere statement of such pol
icy is indicative that all white Indians
would at once have to change tactics, for
without money brought them by white
men under the permit system, their pres
tige and supremacy would be gone. Within
six months after the avowal OF the heroic
policy by the United States government
every Indian champion would have called
for allotment and statehood.
IF it be said that the Indians would ap-
ply TO the courts to prevent executive au-
thority from pursuing either of these plans,
the Indian evidently is Inisinformed, as.
according to American jurisprudence, the
courts cannot compel the executive to per-
form any official duty.
''Please understand me that | am not
committed to either of these methods-that
I simply give them to you as food for
thought, without in any manner setting
forth my individual views. | do not know
that / will favor either plan"

THE INsURRECTION IN CHILL.

Recent publications have thrown
much light on the character and causes
of the insurrection in Chill. This war
now being conducted with so much en-
ergy, presents nothing new in the his
tory OF political activities. 1t is only
another OF those unwelcOme outward
manifestations of imperfect civiliZa-
ton which the world has so often wit
messed.
Ever since Chill east off the Spanish
yoke and became sovereign state she
was ruled, until Balmaceda came, by
an oligarchy OF great families, chiefly
landed proprietors. That the oligarchs
made acceptable rulers, and that they
administered the affairs Of government
with at least n decent regard for the
rights OF the people, is evident from the
fact that for sixty years not 4 revolu-
ton took place, while such outbreaks
were common in other South American
states. But at last the oligarchs, as
they have always done, became too ar
rogant, and therefore offensive to the
people. Balmaceda espoused the pop
ular cause and was made president.
But finding the people unfit for dem
ocratic form of government as it is I'M
derstood in this country, Balmaceda's
rule degenerated rapidly into q tyranny,
the principal instrument OF which was,
as has ever and always been, the army.
which the president sedulously cared
for and patronized.
The administration under Balmaceda
has been vicious, taxes increasing, and
the finances growing demoralized. The
land barons captured the law-maling
power and refused to vote the supplies
demanded by the president. The con-
tention grew to white heat, the result
of which is the present war. in which
foreign residents, chiefly English. sup
port the land barons, who, they think.
will supply a better government. En-
glish capitalists are heavily interested
in the issue of the contest. Having
cast their fortunes with the insurgents
should the latter fail they have but
little to hope for from Balmaceda.

HEARD FROM.
The Charleston Touches Peruvian Port.
Nothing Seen of the Itata-It VIII
Probably be Surrendered.

WASHINGTON, May 2s.-The navy depart
ment today received its first news from
the Charleston since she left Acapulco,
Mexico. the first of last week, in pursuit of
the Itata. When the vessel failed to touch
at Panama within the time expected the
department said it was very probable it had
been decided 20 keep straight on down the
coast, and that the Charleston would first
be heard from at some Peruvian port. This
prediction is fulfilled, for the port at
which the Charleston announced her ar
rival is Callao.
The whereabouts of the Itata are as far
from being known as before the
Charleston was heard from, for Capt
Kenny, Charlestou's commander, reports.
He has seen nothing of the Itata on the
cruise down the coast.
The Charleston will Join a squadron under
Admiral Mccain in Gillian waters, and it
is surrnised that report Will ut no very
distant day come announcing the peaceful
surrender by the insurgents OF the elusive
craft which the United States government
will libel and perhaps forfeit for violation
OF our neutrality laws.

4 Vow Courthouse.

No one disputes the proposition that Tar
rant county needs new courthouse, and it
can be built without increasing taxa
ton, at once if the county
commissioners will only say the
word 1t would be measure
of economy to build it at once. The eX-
penditure of 60 cents now will secure as
much as 81 in year from now. The assessa-
BILE values of Tarrant county will this year
be $21, GOO, 900. For five years past up TO
two years tax of % cents on the 500 has
been levied for courthouse and Jail pur-
poses. Ten cents on the 800 viii pay per
cent interest on $4,000 and that sum
will build fine courthouse. Every dollar
paid out hereafter on the old courthouse
will be thrown away. The county Judge
and county commissioners are public
spirited, economical men, and all believe
that they will soon tTke steps TO give Tar
rant county a new courthouse.

RAILROADS AND THEIR EMPLOYEES.
The recent trouble between the Chi
cage and Northwestern railroad and its
switchmen has It's lesson for other EN-
ployes similarly situated There had
been. il seems, considerable friction for
some two years between the managers
Of the road and the Switchmeu's union,
several strikes having occurred during
the time. What the company con-
ceiyed TO be unreasonable demands
were made from time to time. and
efforts made by the union to dictate to
it in various ways, especially i'll the
matter Of appointing and discharging
subordinate agents and officials. Finally.
the managers grew tired OF the many
petty annoyances inflicted by the
Switchmen's union. and resolved upon
wholesale discharge OF all belonging
to that organization.
To discharge lot Of men in this
wise, for belonging to an industrial
union, seems q trife unjust. But when
ii is remembered that the road had the
support of the United Trainmen and
other organizations of employees who
backed up It's action in the discharge.
il viii be seen that the switchmen were
not blameless. This circumstance proves
also that ii was the switchmen, and not
1,I~ hn
baued. The switchmen were badly de-
teated in the contest, and freely ac-
knowledged it. About 50 per cent of them
went back to work, or were received by
the road on the terms prescribed by IL
self.
OF course it is cheerfully admitted
that the switchmen and all other classes
of railway employees, have a right to
form unions. In union there is strength.
and by unity Of action they can better
secure their rights. formulate their
grievances if there be any, and resist
the natural tendency to reduce wages.
But to do that does not mean that they
may dictate to the road whom it shall
or shall not employ, or whom it must
discharge. 1t ought not to say to the
road that ii shall employ none but
union switchmen. That is a sort of
tyranny that cuts both ways. 1t reaches
the road on one side and the non-union
man on the other. \ laborer has a per-
feet right TO stay out of the union if he
chooses to do so, and ought TO have the
same right TO ask for and receive en-
ployment that union man has. To
deny him that right is the most odious
Of social tyranny and ostracism. 1t is
