interests directly clash. This being the con-

War with Chill not Probable.
In spite Of tho fact that the Chlian af-
fair is held in certain quarters to DO fast ap.
preaching n crisis the probabilities are very
strong that there viii be no outbreak OF
hostiitics between tho United States and
our southern neighbor. The Washington
CORES pondents say that the voice Of the
navy is all for war and that the air Of the
department is charged with the belief that
n passage OF arms viii soon take place in
Chiian water. One reason given
for this belief IS that up to the
present time orders for the movements
of our ships OF war lave been published
from day to day, whereas an order has just
been issued that hereafter tho movements of
naval vessels shall not be given out by tho
department. This may all be true, but it
should be remembered that we have num-
Der of now ships of war manned by young
men in many instances, who are ambitious
to distinguish themselves and their country
at the same time, and it is perhaps not sur
pri5ing that they should lie anxious for a
contest with Chilli.
1t is true that President Harrison has
taken firm stand in relation to our gov
ernmont's demand upon Chill for reparation
but it does not necessarily follow
that an appeal to arms will be
necessary to enforce this demand. 1t is
significant that members of Congress in
many instances do not share in the feeling
that war would be justihablo, a common
opinion being that it would DO punishment
enough for our sister republic to send her
minister home and cut of her diplomatic re-
| ia'ions with the United States. This Is mani
festiy the proper view to take Of the mat
ter and it is safe 70 assume that our govern
mcnts action viii ho marked by no injudi-
cious act OF haste T. ..oaling with the Gillian
difficulty.

its remarks in this connection rs follows:

| ceived to remain in it. The well-ac-
knowledged principle that fraud viii
ates contract applies here. The
| pledge Of non-partisanism which led
many good farmers into the Alliance
has not been kept, and the breaking of
that pledge was in the nature Of fraud
practiced upon the good faith OF the
men who joined the order with the
understanding that their political con-
ne ctions were not to be affected thereby.
Now it is plain that no man can stay
in the Alliance and act openly as a
Democrat or Republican without draw
ing upon himself the suspicion that he
is playing the part OF spy. The ALI
ance is now tif the Cincinnati meeting
spoke for it-and if such is not the case
ii should hasten 10 avow that fact)
compact. consolidated, distinct political
organiza ton, arrayed to do battle
against both the Democratic and Re
publican parties, and preparing to con-
test with them the political direction
of the country. 1t will declare its
principles, formulate its platform, nom
mate candidates pledged to carry out
those principles, and in all things take
the part OF a regular political organiza-
ton, demanding all of the privileges
under the law that are given to the
Democratic and the Republican parties.
1t will make war upon Republican and
Democratic policies and candidates,
and they will war upon its policies and
candidates. How, then, can man
pretend TO be Democrat or Republi-
can and retain his allegiance to this
new political organization that has
taken the field against those parties.
He might as well be 4 member of Re-
publican club, take part in Republican
caucuses and conventions, all the while
claiming to be a Democrat and an
nouncing his intention to vote the
Democratic ticket. 1t would be as con-
sistent to do one as the other OF these
things. and in either'c case he would be
looked upon with distrust by his ALI
ance or his Republican associates, as
the case might be, and it is not likely
that he would be allowed to participate
in the more important deliberations of
his brotherhood.
There is nothing left for self-respect-
ing Democrats in Texas to do but to
sever their connection with the Farm
ers' Alliance, or cease to be Democrats.
The opportunity is offered to withdraw,
for, as we have pointed out the condi- |
ton upon which they entered the ALI
ance has been violated, and they are |
free to consider themselves no longer |
bound by an obligation which mas been
broken by the other party toit.

THE fate of eX-Queen Natalie of Ser
via illustrates the unstable condition
of things in the Balkan provinces
where Russian intrigue is constantly
at work. King Milan, her husband, a
sorry scapegrace of prince, was forced
q year or more ago to abdicate in favor
of his SOP, a boy as yet, who is the
nominal ruler Of the little kingdom.
The expulsion from the country OF his
mother, who desired to be near him,
was the act of the ministers, who feared
that her influence over her son would
result in thwarting their political
schemes. A kingdom in that region
IS as precarious and uncertain posses
sion as presidential postoffice was

SPORTING.
The Corbett-Jackson Fight.

SAN FRANCISCO, CAL, May 22.-The Cor
bett-Jackson fight last night resulted most
unsatisfactory. Referee Cooks decision of
mo contest" which was given at the end of
the siXty-tirst round after the men had
been in the ring four hours and five min
utes, was generally accepted is equivalent
to draw decision. Both men were
then so weak it was plain to everyone they
could not be expected to strike an effective
blow if they remained in the ring till day
light, The first half of the fight was the
most scientific contest ever seen on the
Pacific coast, but the last thirty rounds
was simply walk-arouud. After fighting
two hours the honors were about evenly
divided, though if there were any advan-
tages they were in Jackson's favor. Then
Corbett rallied. For two rounds he pounded
jackson and caused him great distress, but
the San Francisco man worried himself out
in that effort, and with the exception of
occasional rallies, there was nothing done
by either man during the next two hours.
In the last few rounds jackson staggered
around the ring, and Corbett was in but
little better condition. Both men were
heartily cheered at the conclusion of the
fight.

A Word to Farmers.

This paper is not the champion of any big
daily newspaper in or out of Texas, and gets
liberal offers for clubbing with large num-
Der of the leading dailies of the country,
but it is our honest opinion that the best
paper outside of his home paper, which
every man should subscribe for, that a
Texas farmer can take is the Fort Worth
Weekly GAZETTE. 1t contains very large
amount Of reading matter, embracing news
from Texas and the balance of the world,
and its agricultural department, edited by
Professor j. p. STEELE, we consider alone
worth to any Intelligent farmer many times
the cost of the paper. THE GAZETTE is also
4 paper that battles for rights of the people.
