Notes of Progress.

Col. T. W. Harrison, a prominent lawyer
and capitalist of Topeka, Kan, spent a part
of yesterday in the city. Mr.. Harrison has
visited San Antonio, Galveston, Austin,
Dallas and other Texas cities and says that
Fort Worth appears to have more enter
prise and real modern progress than any
other place he has seen. He will likely
make several investments here.
If the big real estate deal mentioned pre-
viously is made it is said big building will
go on the property.
A neat cottage is being built on Luella
street, East Side.
The work done on the Methodist college
begins to show already.
The Brewing company is builiing its
large brick store house and stables
In few weeks the mammoth new cool
ing house at the packery will be under roof.
By Saturday night the handsome Hen
bricks building will be about ready for the
roof.
The two handsome cottages on Peach
street are nearing completion.

REALTY AND BUILDING.
A $3.50, 900 DEAL FOR BUSINESS
PROPERTY UNDER WAY.
Col. Hoxio at Work to Make Fort Worth
the Financial Center of the South
West-New Buildings.

The recorded transfers last week pub
lished from day to day show that activity
is returning TO the real estate market The
trading has covered all classes of property,
acreage, suburban lots and business prop
erty. A real estate man said last night
that he had every assurance that
he would this week close the largest
deal for strictly business property that was
ever consummated in Fort Worth. 1t Is
for eight lots on Main street and eight lots
on Houston street. A Dallas man is the
prospective purchaser and the price agreed
upon is $3.50, COO. In the trade the Dallas man
wishes TO make part payment by deciding
lands in western county at 50. q per acre,
and here is the only hitch, the Fort Worth
owner declining TO accept the land at moro
than So per acre. The balance Of the price
is to be in cash.
The sale of two Main street lots last week
for SIS, 600, of which amount 49, 900 was
cash, shows that prices are not only firm,
but have an upward tendency. These lots
We're on Eleventh street. 1t has not been
many months since lots in the same locality
sold at 5000 and $4,000. The increased
price is sign Of q healthy advance in
prices.

CITY halls do not make business
thoroughfares, and they are not the
most agreeable neighbors for residence
property. AS long as the Union depot
and courthouse are situated where they
are with the stockyards and packery on
straight line further out, just so long
will the principal business streets run
north and south. Locate the hall
where it will serve as an advertisement
OF Fort Worth's faith in itself to all
those who enter the city. The hall
should not only supply the needs OF
Fort Worth but be an advertisement of
the city-and advertisement is pub
licity.

THE strength or weakness of the AL
lance has nothing to do with justice 10
the agricultural classes. The steering
committee cannot disrupt the Demo-
cratic party OF Texas, but the De-
mocracy OF the nation as well as of
Texas should heed the needs of the
farmer, upon whose labor and products
all else depends. This republic cannot
endure degraded agricultural class.

Fort WORTH Is debating the invest
ment of $500, 0O0 in an extension and in
improvements of its waterworks. This
is timely debate. Such works as this
would give US water supply ample
for 5000 people, and probably one-half
the money would be expended here at
home among our laboring men.

and in this good work every lady in the

that the business and bank clearances of
Fort Worth are not only greater than
those of Dallas, but that the rate of increase

The above special from New York in yes

They meant: That Fort Worth is to be
the financial center of Texas and the

the clearing house for Texas and the South

They meant: That Texas was TO have

future greatness of Texas and realizing
that there being so little money in circula-
ton here it was of necessity high and that
the state in consequence would be retarded

the bankers of New York to Texas.

did capital, while his subjects starve.
Nor are they allowed the severe conso-
lation of being left alone. The official
tax gatherer makes his regular visits,
and failure to pay is visited with in
human fogging. The fact is that the
Russian peasant is so bent under the
yoke, so crushed by ages of tyranny,
as to be incapable of self-support. The
least shortage puts him at the mercy of
the charitable. But he has little HUI
man instinct left and will sometimes
revolt. This the government fears at
present, and it is massing troops in the
disaffected districts-troops instead of
bread. If Russia does not manifest all
the conditions which characterized
France under Louis XVI, the lessons
of history go for naught. The Russian
revolution may not be a French revo-
luton, yet the revolution must come.

Z" An Attack on Quay"

We publish the essential part of
bitter assault upon Senator Quay. 1t
comes to this Office with the assurance
that it has been Endorsed by all of
the gentlemen whose names are pub
lished as subscribing to it. We are
sorry to accept it as that, for it has
the tone of heated partisan luminosity,
or of that peculiarly vigorous vitupera-
tive rhetoric which has marked the
personal fulminations of one of the
most eminent and honest of Phila-
delphia's CITIZENSHIP. Henry 9. Lea
whose aggressive phrases will not always
stand cold and critical analysis as fact.
That so many respectable men would
be willing to sign such a paper-the
argumentative part of which is simply
an appeal to their fellow-citizens to aid
in the destruction of Mr.. Quay's po-
litical power-is proof of a feeling too
strong to be ignored or jeered at. 1t is
the duty of honest journalism to meet
it squarely, TO measure it fairly and to
judge it impartially. The North Ameri-
can has no desire and no reason to be
an apologist for Senator Quay. 1t has,
however, on more than one occasion
chosen to defend him from the charges
of those who were ever ready to assert
and never ready to prove. Never hav-
ing shared Mr.. Quay's political conf
dence, this journal has known of his po-
litical processes and political methods
only as the knowledge was available
to any inquiring intelligence using hon
est instruments of investigation. The
information so gained has been cred.
liable to the ability, the courage, the
personal force and the broad intelli-
gence of the man who has risen to so
undisputed leadership. That such a
success as has marked the career of Mr.
Quay could have been attained without
deser ing we do not believe; that it
could have been reached without Gre
ating strong personal antagonisms is
equally impossible. The alliances Mr.
Quay has made have naturally been
those best calculated to advance his
own plans. That is no reason why
those of us not included among his ad-
visers should be unjust to him. That
there is irritation and antagonism to
Mr.. Quay in the republican party it did
not need this pronunciamento to de-
termine. That this feeling has already
diverted many votes we assume that all
men know. But there are some grave and
positive charges contained in this ad-
dress which, however eXcusably they
might be circulated by partisan malice,
should never have been subscribed to BY
the men who sign them unless they are
willing to do more than assert them.
If none is more easy to prove than the
assertion that the vindication of the
personal and political character of Mr..
Quay was the only issue in the last
campaign the reverend and other sign
ers will find themselves in nasty pre-

ton & Co., New York. Price, in paper,
fifty cents. Within the last two or
three years it has come to be recognized
that Australia is producing literature
of distinctive worth. As yet Amer
leans have seen comparatively little of
Australian fiction, and no doubt espec-
ial interest will be taken in the work of
this clever Australian writer. The au-
thor, in following the wanderings of
her heroines, deals, however, quite as
much with London as with Australian
life. This may prove disappoint-
ment to some.
THE HISTORY OF TARIFF ADMINS
TRATIoN IN THE UNITED STATES, by
John Dean Goss, Ph.D. Edited by the
University Faculty of Columbia Col
lege. This is the second monograph
issued by the Faculty of Political Sci
ence in its "Studies in History, Eco
Monies and Public Law" The SUBJ
iect is very thoroughly discussed, and
all the main facts connected with
tariff administration in this country are
embodied in the thesis. So far as we
know, this is the first attempt to give
a succinct review of tariff administra-
ton. Much has been written and said
on the different tariff laws that have
been in force in this country, but very
little attention has been given TO adj
ministration. 1t is obvious that the
subject deserves far more study than it
has received from the public. A dis
cussion of the Mckinley administra-
ton bill of 1890 is included in the
thesis. The author, in summing up
his review, concludes that on the whole
there has been steady development
toward more stringent supervision
regulation and control over the i'm
porter.
