tober II. A large fountain, similar to the
one that was in the center of the Spring
Palace, is being constructed in exposition
hall, and will be grand attraction for that
building. On the race course are now $50
horses taking daily exercises, so as to be in
trim for the races that comes of during the
fair. This years race purses will be by far
the largest ever before offered in Texas,
and many horses of national repute will be
on hand to contest the first place" The
machinery hall is in the hands Of the eX-
hibitors, and many of them are now placing
their machinery in position. This exhibit
will be much larger this year than at any
previous fair. In fact, on the grounds and
in the Office OF the secretary, everything is
work and push 81 that everything will be
ready even before the opening day. The

"THE alien land law hurts nobody
but the city fellows: that is why the
city papers oppose it." Such is an ar
gument of Texas newspaper for the
alien land law. II the assertion were
true-which it is not-that nobody is
injured except the people in cities. is
not that a good reason for modifica-
ton of the law? Have these dwellers
in cities-men who have built Fort
Worth, Dallas, Waco, Galveston, Hous-
ton, San Antonio, Austin-have these
men no rights which are to be re-
spected? They pay their taxes, they
obey the laws, they furnish employ
ment to great many working people,
they buy the products of the farmer,
and add to the volume OF trade. Are
these men to be sacrificed to a hostile

Is THE ALLIANCE DOOMED.

ne FARMERS AllldUcc has pdSSe0
the meridian Of its glory, and is fast
fastening 10 its setting, dragged to
ruin and death by knavery and too
much talk. The efforts of the honest
men in the organization to restrain its
headlong career and restore it to its
pristine purity will hardly succeed.
That was the purpose of the st. Louis
meeting, but the most hopeful see very
little prospect of success, a circum-
stance that honest and right-minded
men of all classes will deplore.
While it adhered to its articles of
faith. and tried honestly to fulfill its
mission, the Alliance accomplished
much that was good. It was fast earn
ing the confidence and sympathy Of
conservative and unselfish men every
where. 1t gave promise of succeeding,
for the first time in the history of the
country. in the work of effecting such
an organization among farmers as
would enable them to assert their
rights and stand upon an equal footing
with other organized industries. Such
organization as they had enabled them
last fall to crush many a Republican
corruptionist and spokesman with their
votes. They sent scores of rank dem
agogues 10 their political graves, and
struck the party of plumber and robbery
a stunning blow, from which 1t will
not soon recover.
That very success was the author of
the mischief that followed, and the Bit
ter division that now exists in the Or
der. Seeing the power it developed,
the INSCRIPTIONS members of it laid
hold of the order to advance them
selves. A new and unhedged brood OF
statesmen, every one of whom was
jawsmith, sprung into existence, and
threw the order into a violent state of
eruption. The accidental political sue
cess OF PETER and Sockless Simpson in
Kansas, and few others OF like caliber
elsewhere, aroused their unholy ambi-
ton, and ever since. the land has been
filled with the din and noise of these
mouthers and ranters. Wanting a
rallying cry, shibboleth, the sub
treasury humbug was invented, and the
faithful everywhere exhorted to hur-
rah for it. In very short time the
organization became thoroughly in
fected with a malignant form of Ma
cuneism, the deadly virus of which it
has been and is now unable to throw
off. The infected body is in a high
state OF fever, and its strength is rap
idly waning. lis the victim of politi-
cal trichina, the venomous bacilli of
which are feeding upon its vitals. 1t
is only by eradicating them, by purg-
ing the order of the vermin brood of
barnacles and parasites that are sap
ping its vitality, that it can be restored
to usefulness. Until that is done, moth
ing can be done. Unless that is done
speedily, the order is doomed. Its race
is run, its sun is set.

An important Arrest.

United States Deputy Marshal Huffington
made an important arrest a few days ago
near Corpus Christi. it being no less per-
son than j. P. Bennett, wanted in the
United States court for perjury.
Bennett was one of the jurors in the cele-
brated NARROW trial. At the trial the jury
failed to agree and Bennett was said to have
been the man that chung it." Later it
turned out that Bennett was not qualified
juror in the case, although he had, on oath,
stated that he was. An Indictment for
alleged perjury was found against him.
For over year the officers have hunted for
man, but it was Mr.. Hufington's good luck
to be Benefits captor. The man was ar
rested near Corpus Christi and put in jail at
San Antonio

A Suicide.

A sad suicide OF woman by an overdose
of morphine tool, place in a room over an
Elm street saloon. The woman was about
twenty years of age, and leaves beautiful
girl child about three years old. The vic
TINS full name is thought to be either Jes-
sic or Florence Bowles, although this is not
certain. From all that could he gathered it
appears that the woman was married to the
man of her choice but against the wishes Of
her parents. For some reason the couple
drifted apart and for some time have not
lived together. About three weeks ago the
woman procured the room where she to-
day took her own life. She had been heard
TO remark that her husband would kill her
if he should ever know of her doing wrong.
1t is thought that she saw her husband on
yesterday, and this may have had some
thing to do with her death. There is no
blemish on the woman's past conduct as far
as known, and the theory of her death is
that she was tired of a life of separation
from her husband, whom she is said to have
dearly loved.

A DISPATCH to THE GAZETTE from
Topeka, Kan, says that the negroes
who came to that state from the South
in the exodus of 1880 and 1881. live
in little huts that would be a digrace
as hog-pens in civilized community.
\ = They are of the most ignorant
sort" This is alter ten years OF social
connection and contact with the people
OF Kansas. Instead Of advancing in in
telligence, they are going back to a
condition of semi-barbarism. Schools
are said to be abundant in Kansas, and
the laws put the negroes on level
with the whites. Whose fault is it
that they do not improve? And if they
fall back in Kansas, who shall condemn
Us of the South ii they DO not advance
to higher state of intelligence?

The Pennsylvania Republican con-
vention was for Blaine, almost without
exception. The Massachusetts Repub-
lican convention had 312 Blaine adher-
ents and only forty-seven who stood by
Harrison. y poll of the New York Re
publican convention disclosed that 639
Of the delegates were for Blaine and
sixteen for Harrison. 1t begins to look
like the champion and promoter of the
force bill has had his day. Even Hayes
the fraud had more friends among the
politicians than Harrison can show.
