An Address by the Pope.

ROME, Dec. 2s.-The pope delivered an
address at the annual reception of the
sacred college to-day. Referring to the
labor encyclical he said he WAS gratified
that the document had produced marked
movement among the working classes
toward the holy see. His object i'll address,
ing the French workmen's pilgrimage had
been to render the encyclical moro effective.
He designed similarly to address pilgrimsges
organized in Europe and Americas. But the
visits of bodies Of workmen had been sud
denly stopped by undignifed means al
ready known to the world. The adversa-
ries of the church strove to defeat the
noblest and most beneticent undertakings
because they foresaw that these undertake
ings would heighten the glory and influ-
ence of the papacy. Nevertheless, the
papacv would persevere in its mission of
peace, salvation and redemption, even to
the advantage of its adyersaries.

Blaine. 1t will be seen that all the
Western and Central states, with very
few exceptions, will send delegates
who will go wild when the name of the
man from Maine IS mentioned. The
Pacific Coast states will have delegates
who will demand a consideration of
Mr.. Blaine; the Northwest will be rep
resented by men who will yell for
Blaine and Reciprocity" from the
time they reach Minneapolis until they
leave; the Mississippi valley men will
join in the grand chorus and wish for
Blaine even though they may vote for
Harrison. AS sure as the sun will rise
on the coming convention days Mr..
Blaine can be the nominee if he desires
the honor. The tidal wave OF his pop
ularity was never at so great height
as now and it only needs the removal OF
a barrier, sustained by courtesy rather
than by strength, to make the flood
overwhelming among the men who will
represent the Republicans of the
respective states. Mr.. Blaine is master
of the situation and if he accepts or
puts aside the crown he will not in
crease or diminish his just fame"

THE MAN FROM MAINE.

The selection of a North western
city as the place for holding the next
Republican national convention is con-
sidered unfavorable for the re-nomina-
ton Of the present incumbent of the
presidential Office. 1t has made the
man from Maine loom up once more on
the political horizon with lustrous
prominence, and his enthusiastic devo-
tees are hailing his expanding chances
for the nomination with as much fervid
reclamation as that with which fire.

LET'S LOOK OUT FOR OURSELVES.

Immigrants OF the OeUUeF CLASS are
pouring into Texas from the East,
North, and the Southeastern states.
They are brought to Fort Worth by
the railroads, and from this point they
are distributed to their several destina-
tions. None OF them, so far as is
known, remain in Fort Worth or Tar
rant county. We merely receive them
and send them on their way, but we
hold none of them.
And yet there are thousands of acres
Of land in Tarrant county, as productive
as any the sun sends his daily beams
upon, that may be had at prices but
little in advance of what is paid for less
really productive lands hundred or
two hundred miles west of us, far off
the railroads, and remote from market
centers. In every way these Tarrant
county lands are preferable to the far
West lands. 1t is impossible to get
more than five miles of railroad, and
the greater part of our farms are not
three miles from railroad. There is
fairly good system Of graveled roads
now in some parts of the county, and
the people have voted a tax to so i'm
prove the system as to give Tarrant
county the best roads in the state. Our
rural society is good and neighboriy.
Schools are abundan+ and well main
tanned.
But with all these tnings-with cheap
lands and rich, with transportation
and market conveniences, agreeable
society, good schools and churches
our county population Is not growing.
In the ten years from 1880 to 1890 it
does not show even the natural increase
mat the excess of births over deaths
should give US.
Our people have spent thousands OF
dollars in advertising the state OF
Texas and in ''booming" the West-but
what have they done to tell of the de-
siraple qualities of their own county?
Nothing!
It is no wonder, thel., that the stream
of immigration from the East to the
West passes by us, thinking no more
of Fort Worth and the country lying
around it than as stopping place to
rest day or two before moving on to
the West. To get our share of these
people. to build I'D a large country
population immediately tributary to
Fort Worth, we must make the world
acquainted with what we have, and
convince immigrants that they can do
better here than anywhere else. TODD
this work an organization of purpose
and effort is needed.
Who will be the man to head move
ment to get the people together and
tell the world what Tarrant county has
for it?

A POSTAL CARD has been received by
THE GAZETTE containing the draft OF
proposed amendment to the constitu-
ton of the United States. It is signed
by Paymaster Rodney, U. S. Navy.
The caption of the amendment reads:
''To preclude the right of private prop
erty being carried to absurd infni-
tude." The measure sought to be added
to the fundamental organ OF our ma
tlonal government provides that mo
citizen nor resident nor investor, in
any or all states, territories or district,
comprising the United States, shall be
permitted to possess, IN all kinds of
property, an aggregate value of more
than 81 ,00O,0 900, which sum shall be the
limit of private property in any indi-
vidual joint-individual, guardian, trus-
tee, or other form or device of private
estate ownership. And whenever and
wherever such private ownership or
holding shall be found to exceed the
limit above named, the excess shall ali
be condemned as public nuisance and
public peril, and be accordingly for
feited into the United States treasury.
And the states, etc, shall, each and
all, enforce this amendment by neces-
sary or penal legislation: failing which,
congress shall so enforce it."
There must be at least 5000. 900
people, out of the 64,0OO,000 that consti-
tute the population of this country,
who are violently yearning for a law
that will check their acquisitiye greed
when it reaches the million-dollar
limit. Editors, especially those Of a
poetic temperament, would like to be
stopped somewhere in their mad
scramble after wealth, and to them can
Paymaster Rodney look for earnest CO.
operation in bringing about the adop-
ton of his proposed amendment.

COURT OF APPEALS.
DECISIONS RENDERED AT THE
TYLER SESSION.
Hon. John p. White, Presiding Judge-J.
NJ. Hurt and w. L. Davidson, Asso-
ciate Judges-E- p. Smith, Clerk.

Charley Hayes VS.. the State; from
Bosque. Theft of cattle. l. The facts, or
rather material facts, adduced were that
one Garfield was the owner of the alleged
steers and the brand on them. He had adj
vised one of his neighbors against estraying
one of the alleged stolen steers prior to the
theft, as it belonged to Garfield. SubSe-
quently the steer came into appellants pas
ture, the fence being down, and appellant
knew the steer to be in his pasture. Janu-
airy 6, 1889, appellant spoke to parties about
coming to his cattle pen the next morning
to assist in driving some cattle to kopperl.
The cattle were found in the pen next
morning. Appellant came to the pen, ac-
companied by a man named Green, who sold
the alleged stolen cattle to appellant then
and there, giving the latter bill of sale.
When the bill of sale was given Green
changed marks and brands of the cattle.
Green disappeared, and has never been
found. The defense of appellant was that
of an innocent purchaser. Held: There
was no error in failing to charge upon cir
cumstantial evidence. The wrongful taking
was at the pen, and is proved by direct and
positive testimony. Affirmed. Davidson,
J. Hurt, j., dissents and holds that the
court should have charged on clrcumstan-
tial evidence, and failure to do SO was error.
John Rhea rs. the State; from Bell
Rape. l. Appellant was hired hand and
lived on the premises of the husband of the
alleged assaulted female. It is shown that
about 10 O'Clock in the forenoon appellant
came 10 the house, there being no one pres
ent save the prosecutrix, and she says he
caught her as she was STOPPING over the fire
and, dragging her to bed, accomplished
his purpose before she had time to make an
outcry or defend herself. Appellant then
went to the field to work, and returning at
noon, ate his dinner, prepared by the prose-
cutrix, at the same table with her, there
being no one else present. Appellant again
endeavored to persuade her, and to escape
him she fed to the house of neighbor,
some three hundred yards distant, where
she spent the evening, saying nothing of
the occurrence, and seeming to be in her
usual hu1nor. Late In the evening. appel

1.-THE Sensation OF the Epoch are
the words used to describe a new work
of fiction that has been turned out by
the collaboration of Mr.. William A.
Bowen of San Antonio and Mr.. Albert
Mensen of San Francisco. Mr.. Bowen
is tie secretary of the San Antonio
chamber OF commerce. We do not
know the character of the story
whether it is in the line of realism or
of idealism-or the thread of the plot ;
but at a venture we are willing to back
with any ching in reach the proposition
that if it is realistic rovel it will por-
tray with striking life-likeness the

A PRICE of SS.75O,OO for the Chero-
kee strip has been agreed upon be-
tween the Indians and the commits
sioners appointed to negotiate for
this land. Such is the report.
This will give about $500 apiece TO the
Cherokees, or, estimating a family to
average four and a half persons, it will
give to each head of a family $4,000.
There are other tribes of Indians much
wealthier-the Osages having, it is
said, per capita wealth of about $500,
or $3.50 per family. The average
wealth OF the people of Texas is about
$500 per capita. Does this look as if
we had robbed the Indians of their
lands? If such is the case, will some
body come along and rob US the same
way?
