SENATOR CARLISLE ON FREE coin.


Senator Jno. G. Carlisle was in
terviewed in New York recently and
among other things said:
"Under the senate resolution"
said Carlisle, "the duty of the com
mittee is to ascertain the effect of
the new tariff laws upon prices and
trade. I think most of the work of
the committee will be performed in
Washington early in the fall. Rep
resentatives of various trades will be
summoned before the committee and
their testimony obtained. 1 pre-
sumo the testimony will be secured
with view of making changes in
the present law"
Senator Carlisle was asked: "What
will the next house Of representa-
tives do regarding tariff legislation?"
"There be so many new members
in the next house that it is impos-
sible to say. l hope that the Demo
Gratis will act in a conservative man
ner in formulating tariff legislation,
as in other things. A general tariff
bill may be passed by the house or
special bills passed to amend the
present law, A general bill, passed
by Democratic house, might meet
deadly opposition in the senate"
evil the tariff be the chief issue
in the campaign Of 1892"
''it ought to be. [ think the Demo
cratic party would make great mis-
take if it permitted the silver ques-
ton, or any other issue, to dominate
the tariff issue. The party is united
upon the tariff question, while it is
badly divided upon the silver ques-
ton. l do hope that free coinage
will be disposed of before 1892, or
else laid aside, that tariff can be the
dominant ISSUE"

LABOR STIKEs,

Ever since the LIST of May, and in
some places prior to that time,
various places have been affected
by organized and unorganized
strikes. Strikers for shorter hours
and better pay should bear in mind
that there are thousands of people
idle who would be glad tc work in
their places at less pay, and as a
consequence i'll results follow when
these anxious employed endeavor to
secure the places. No more depior-
able example of the i'll effects that
most always follow strikes, than the
recent terrible tragedy in the coke
regions of Pennsylvania. The Win.
chester in the hands of the militia
left many homes fatherless, and
caused remorse in the homes of
many of the inhabitants as we'll as
the strikers. That was OF course an
extreme case, but bad results have
followed strikes in every place, near
ly, not only of local nature but
the whole country has felt the de-
preston in trade that has been the
result of inopportune strikes. 1t
does seem that the heads of organ
lied labor would exercise greater
jugdment at times like the present,
and not order strikes when the fin
ancial affairs of the country demand
more conservative action. The South
has felt the terrible blow of i'll ad-
vised strikes, particularly in the coal
trade, and it is a matter of much
Importance that no further fool
hardness be shown by ignorant
persons, a great many of whom
are exiles from foreign shores.
Zone hundred and fifty thousand
people every day in New York get
up with the fear that they will go
hungry during the day." says the
New York World. Then is it any
wonder that they should be trying
with fighting desperation to take the
places of some of the strikers? The
same condition of affairs exists, only
on a smaller scale, in most of the
large cities. If the strikers who
throw up their jobs on account of
law wages or fewer hours would
leave the cities and strike out for
the sparely settled agricultural dis
tricts where laborers are in demand,
these strikes might benefit the coun-
try, but under the present existing
style of defying those who want to
work in the place of strikers the
strikes are a great injury to the
country.

RAILROAD MEETING AT VICTORIA.

RAILROAD MEETING AT VICTORIA.
The citizens of Victoria held a
mass meeting Wednesday night for
the purpose of discussing the rail
road question and supplementing the
action of the Board of Trade of that
city in their efforts to get railroad
connection other than the Southern
Pacific. The assemblage was large
and composed OF influential citizens
heartily in sympathy with the pur.
pose of the meeting.
1t was unanimously voted to Sc
cure subscriptions to any other
company that would construct rail
road through the city of Victoria,
connecting any point on the gulf
coast between Arkansas Pass and
Corpus Christi by Which connection
with northern cities will be secured.
In addition to this an agreement
to give the right-of-way was signed
by the principal land owners, and
there will be no difficulty in secur-
ing the signatures of all through
whose land the road might pass. j.
A. McFaddin and L. r. Daniel start
ed the ball rolling by giving $4,000
apiece. There are three others who
have promised to do as much, if
not more. J. A. McFaddin, E. D.
Linn and Il. Sporrer were appointed
to solicit subscriptions. Steps were
taken toward entertaining the dele
cations from Corpus Christi and
Columbus, who will meet the citi
gems of that county on the 18th to
perfect plans for working to advance
their common interest. There is no
doubt that Victoria is terribly in
earnest. She is working with an
emery and enthusiasm which pres
ages success.
Brennan has appointed delegates
to attend this meeting on the 18th
with the hope that if that Corpus
Christi and South American road
seeks a northern outlet, as they
have announced their intention of
doing, that they can be induced to
come by Brennan. Brennan is on
a direct line from Victoria to Paris
one of its contemplated northern
outlets, which would run through as
fine section of country as is in the
state and tap the principal trunk
lines of railroads. 1t is the most
natural and seemir ely most practi-
cal route and with the proper effort
the projectors can be induced to
come this way.
If Brennan could secure this con.
nection it would be long stride on
her march of progress. This is to
be the grandest trunk line of the
world ultimately and to be on it will
be the making of many cities, one
of which BRENNAN must be if pos
slble. The delegates to the meeting
in Victoria on the 18th should at
tend and endeavor to secure the CO.
operation of other cities along the
line IN pulling it this way.

THE WORLDS FAIR CONVENTION.

THE WORLDS FAIR CONVENTION.
The Worlds Fair Convention re
Gently in session at Fort Worth
adopted the resolution offered by
Mr.. E. L. Huffman, of Ellis county,
to the effect "that. the convention
recommend to the counties of the
state they accept the proposition
made by circular letter and through
the press of the Texas state fair and
Dallas exposition of free instruction
and aid in getting up their exhibits
and place to store and collect the
same"
The mover of the resolution set
tied the question by Withdrawing 1t,
saying that inasmuch as Houston
haG entered a protest against locat-
ing the exhibits at any place, as it
had been selected by former con-
vention he would Withdraw his resell
ution in the interest of harmony.
Gen. Claiborne, of Chicago, took
the ground that there ought to be
more than seven directors, and as
regarded the senatorial district rep
resentation each district should be
allowed to select its representative.
He was not in favor of the selection
by committee of financial headquar-
tiers. The Convention was entirely
harmonious, and the result will no
doubt be that Texas will be properly
represented at the Worlds fair.
Every section in the State should
get up an exhibit that the States
vast resources may be thoroughly
advertised there where millions will
see It.

The merit of the secret ballot is
that it protects the voter from in
timidation and discourages bribery
by making it difficult to watch the

of their opposition. In Maine the
opposition to ballot reform was led

CONGRESSIONAL FUNERALS.

The Texas Farm and Ranch has
the following sound protest against
one of the conspicuous outrages
perpetrated on the tax payers of
this country, which it characterizes,
''the unjustiiable and costly tom
foolery of Congress every time a
member dies Common decency, to
say nothing of common honesty,
would dictate that when Senator
or Representative dies, and his fam,
lily are too poor to afford him de-
cent sepulture, that his col
leagues, out of their liberal salaries,
chip in aud raise fund sufficient.
But neither decency, honesty, nor
the constitution gives them authori-
ty for putting their hands into the
public treasury for this purpose. A
man ought to be able to live, and
die, and return to dust in a respect
able manner on $1,000 per year and
pickings. The costly junketings
and uproarous wakes provided on
such occasions are a reproach to
civilization, and robbery of the tax
payer"

In December 1890, Mrs. Ella
Blackman, living in Arlington, Tar
rant county, died suddenly from a
powder administered by another
than physician In March, three
months after her death the body
was exhumed and examined to see
if she had not been poisoned. But

of.poison was found. And recently
the fact has been divulged that
when the body was exhumed that q

Pacific, and the result has been an
nounced the same. Hayti looking
upon the presence of the feet as a
threat refused to enter into any trade
The N. Y. Herald speaking of the mat
ter. says: "Itseems probable that the
ordering of the squadron of revolu-
ton to Hayti was not only unneces-
sary but unfortunate. Except as a
menace there was no apparent ex
cuse for increasing our naval force
in Haytian waters: as menace it
was lamentable failure-as one ac-
quainted with the Haytlan people
might have known it would be. Mr..
Harrison's naval demonstrations
against Hayti seems to have been a
fat failure from every point of
view"

Cause of TaIleyrand's Lameness.

The cause of Telleyrand's lameness has
long been "a matter OF dispute During the
fifty-two years which have elapsed since his
death his deformity has been accounted
for in all manner of ways.
Some stories have it that the defect was
congenital; others that it was cccasioned
by an accident which befell him in his in
fancy Tine most curious explanation of
all is that offered by writer in The Quar-
terly Review. ITO quote the very words
of our informant, an eminently distin-
guished diplomat" says the writer, Tai
leyrand's Vienna colleague, Baron Wessen-
berg, told me years ago that his lameness
was owing to carelessness of his nurse, VINO
laid him down in field while she flirted
with her sweetheart, and on coming back
to her charge found some pigs dining on
the infants legs. / am sure that Wessen-
berg told me this as an established fact,
and am all but sure that his authority
was Talleyrand himself"

years. The present system, under which
landlords and large capitalists as class
pay nothing in taxes, will assuredly pro-
duce the Millionaire if continued.
But will it be continued? Mr.. Shear
man thinks it will not. The abolition Of
the sugar tax and the enormous increase
of the permanent expenditures of the
government by the Republicans at the
last session of congress have brought us
face to face with deficit of SO, 900 600,
and no party will hereafter venture to
reimpose the sugar tax. The people will
learn through cheapened sugar, as never
before, that the tariff is tax, and they
will not tolerate the sugar tax again.
But in teaching the people this lesson
the Republicans have unwilingly taught
them an invaluable lesson in the nature
of a protective tariff itself. In this way
free sugar will not only not save the pro-
tectiye system, as was intended by the
McKinleyites, but it will help to under
mine and ruin that system. Blaine
reciprocity, too, will teach the former
the value of the foreign market and the
desirabihty of charging that market be-
yond the two Americas. The last cleo
ton doomed the wool tax. and the wool
growers have long threatened that free
wool will mean free wooden goods.
As protective tariffs are abolished di-
rect taxes will have TO be levied in order
to raise revenues for the government,
and as protection passes away the reign
of the extortioner viii cease. The rich
will then bear their due portion of the
public burdens. When TINS has been
brought about the Millionaire will not
come, for the system will be dead.
