selves TO reducing the tariff and giving
the people cheap goods.
Very good, Mr.. Mills, as to the dag
nosis of the disease. There is great
deal of money in the country, and the
people would be far better off if it were
in their pockets. But how shall we
get it there? The tariff should be re-
duced. is an unchallenged proposition
among Democrats, but from that source
we can expect no relief for at least
three years. A tariff bill could not go
through the senate, and if it were to
get to the president it would meet his
veto. A Democratic president may be
elected in 1892, and a Democratic sem
ate may come from those elections.
The president and the senate would not
take their seats until 1893. Without a
special session of congress, there would
be no relief even then until the Fifty
third congress met in the latter part OF
1893. which means that no law would
be enacted to go into effect before July,
1894. The relief proposed by this
remedy is at least three years distant,
and dependent on the Democrats hold
ing majority in the house and elect
ing the president and majority of the
senate.
The silver bill can be passed by both
the Democratic house and the Republic
can senate, and the Republican presi-
dent will not dare to veto it. 1t will
put more money in circulation, some OF
which, al least, will get into the
pockets of the people, and give an i'm
petus to trade. This much of relief is
immediate. Neither does it need to
overshadow or set back the tariff ques-
ton. The Democratic party will
strengthen itself by going before the
people in 1892 calling for tariff reform
and free silver.

More Thorough Organization.

Acting under the suggestion of the board
of directors several counties in the state
during the past week, notably Collin and
Walker counties, have appointed sub-com
mittees in the different election precincts in
their counties, and are thus covering their
territory very thoroughly with the view of
doing the best work possible in order to
raise the full amount of their subscriptions
and secure thereby the choice of position in
the state building, to construct which sew
eral architects of the state are now at work
designing plans, which are to be submitted
by October Goth and which will be passed
upon by the directors at their next meeting,
which will occur at Dallas on October 30th.
From the character and reputation of the
architects who are at work on these plans
some very elaborate designs are expected,
as the limit of 100000 for a frame building
will permit of a very pretentious structure,
and one that will do credit to the great state
of Texas, being built, as it will be, of Texas
material as far as practicable.

The political fight in Louisiana is so
mixed that no man living can say how
it is. The lottery is the main issue.
There are lottery Democrats and anti
lottery Democrats, lottery Republicans
and anti-lottery Republicans, lottery
Alliance men and anti-lottery Alliance
men. The Democrats and that part of
the Alliance opposed to the lottery
have combined and put up a ticket.
The straight Alliance faction refuses
to go in the combine, and will put up
a ticket. The lottery Democrats are
fighting the Democrat-Alliance combi-
nation. and the straight Alliance or
Peoples ticket; and the Republicans
are lying low with sharp knives, wait
ing for a favorable chance to strike.
The man who is searching for fun need
go no further than Louisiana.

Worlds Fair Notes.

A gentleman writes from Williamson
county that he has quite an interesting
historical relic in the shape of cast-iron
slack trough which was CAPTURED by Gen
Sam Houston from Santa Anna at the bat
tie of San Jacinto, and that he will con-
tribute it to the Texas exhibit at the
Worlds fair. He will be requested to send
it TO the headquarters at Fort Worth,
whence it will be sent TO Chicago at the
proper time.
The young ladies of Texas should not for
get the elegant prizes of 800, $50 and Sa5
offered by Secretary Dickinson to the three
young ladies of Texas selling the largest
amount of Texas Worlds fair stock up to
October 80, the award to be made on that
day at the Dallas fair. Several young
ladies have already entered the contest.
Capt S. f. Johnson of Corsicana has
been commissioned a general agent for the
Texas Worlds fair association, to as
sist in the organization of coun-
ties not yet organized for Worlds
fair work and to attend through the depart
ment of promotion to the appointment of
canvassers in each county under the recon-
mendation of the local committees. The
Texas Worlds fair association will this
week send out an appeal to all the lodges,
social land benevolent organizations of
Texas, asking them to aid the Worlds fair
movement, if only to the extent of their
members subscribing 10 cents per capita.
A very enjoyable Worlds fair entertain
ment was given during the past week at
the residence of Mrs. j. Peter Smith in this
city, where recitatiOnS, music and refresh
ments We're the enlivening features of the
occasion, which was the first Of a series of
like entertainments that are to be inaugu-
rated by the ladies of Fort Worth to assist
the Worlds fair movement.

SILVER AND THE TARIFF.

Mr.. Mills speech at Mansfield, Ohio,
was strong appeal for the Democrats
to ignore all other questions in 1892,
and put forward the tariff as the sole
issue. The money question he would
drop. He voted for free and unlimited
coinage of silver, and believed that
metal could be maintained with par
ity with gold. But that is OF no i'm
portance, says Mr.. Mills, for We have
an abundance of money now in the
country-it is not more money in the
country that is needed, but more money
in the pockets of the people. So let us
drop the money question and turn our

Work Among the Counties.

While Runnels county has so far been the
first to send in the full amount of its sub
scription, there are a number of other
counties in the state which are actively at
work collecting the amounts assessed
against them, upon the basis of fifteen
cents per capita upon their population,
among which may be mentioned: ri Paso,
Collin. Dallas, Galveston, Tom Green, Don
ley, Cooke, Coke, Armstrong, Austin,
Blanco, Bowie, Bee, Brown, Cass, Cald-
well, Cherokee, Concho, Duval, Eastland,
Fayette, Gonzales, Houston, Hunt, Hale,
Hemphill, Hardeman, Hardin, Jasper, john
son, Kendall, Lavaca, Lamar, Leon, Mid
land, Mitchell, Milan, Martin, Navarro,
Nueces, Parker Smith, Sherman, Waller,
Walker, Sommervell, Travis, Wood,
Wichita.
In all of these counties the committees
have organized and are now actively at
work trying TO complete their assessments,
which, compared with that levied in other
states for Worlds fair purposes, is exceed
ingly moderate. For example, in Arkansas,
where only 100000 is to be raised for an
exhibit at the Worlds fair, the
state board has fixed the as
sessment at one mill upon assessed values.
Such an assessment as this would raise in
Texas $500, 600, or over twice the amount
sought to be raised for the purpose. Upon
the basis of assessed value the amount that
tic oIdoC t-ooOSideioh iiopCS W ldlSc III iCAdS
would be less than tax of a half mill, or
about A cents upon the $1,000. When it is
considered that this is all that is asked and
that if every citizen in Texas who is as
sessed at $1,000 or upward would contribute
but a cents for every $1,000 in value rem
dered for taxes, the entire amount of $780,
600 would be raised 1t does seem that
very little difficulty should be experienced
in raising this fund with the almost inev-
liable result of doubly augmented valuation
within five years, attendant upon such an
exhibit as Texas is capable of making at
the greatest industrial event that the world
has ever witnessed.

WORLDS FAIR WORK.
WHAT is BEING DONE BY THE

Against the Citizens-Encouraging
Words From Texas Papers.

The Worlds fair mass-meetings, held at
both Fort Worth and Dallas during the
past week, have had good effect in STIR
ring up an interest in Worlds fair matters,
particularly in North Texas, and the result
has been so beneficial that President Hur-
ley contemplates an early trip to the south
ern portion of the state. with the view of
trying to enthuse that section. Col. Hurley
will speak at Hillsboro to-day, at the
Brentwood fair on Wednesday and at the
State Grange fair at McGregor On Friday
of this week. His trip to the southern por
ton of the state will be made, if possible,
just before the opening of the Dallas fair
While Galveston has been organized for
Worlds fair work for some little time, the
people of Houston have just become
aroused to the Importance of the subject,
and with Capt. A. c. Herndon, a we'll
known and progressive citizen of Houston,
as chairman of the district, the people of
the Bayou City clam that they will have
little trouble in raising the full amount of
their assessment.
With the view of creating an active COM
petition among the leading cities of the
state, the directors have decided that the
cities, like the counties, will be given a
choice Of location in the Texas building at
Chicago in the order in which they COM
plete their subscriptions.

DEEP WATER A FACT.

For nearly twenty years Texas has
been discussing deep water, and for as
many years money has been expended
on the coast of the state in the effort to
give the desired boon. For the last
five years, especially, Texas and the
Northwest have had presented TO them
in speech and print the advantages OF
deep water port on the coast of this
state. Hope deferred had almost made
the heart sick when private capital did
what all the governmental millions had
failed to do.
Texas has deep water at the mouth OF
the Brazos.
:, And now Texas should begin to reap
of the benefits so long portrayed. A
cheaper haul to the worlds markets,
more direct connection with the South
American countries. relief from the
long rail haul to the ports of the gulf
and Atlantic east of the Mississippi.
Texas has abundant crops and deep
water. Could the Gossett law be
amended and cheap money given back
to the people, Texas might look for
ward to 4 progress within the next
twelve months exceeding anything
known to the advancement of the state.
1t is hard to think that benefcent sea-
sons and the triumph at Velasco should
be INSTRUCTED by chosen lawmakers
but we may, at least, be grateful that
we have good crops and deep water.
The benefits of both will soon be real

Borrowers Notified that All Negotiations

from the General Manager.

At the time the alien land law was passed
Texas had not drawn her share of the

of the association was informed that he
could draw for whatever loans We're needed

on hand at the time the law was passed

E. NJ Rely, Esq, Treasurer Fort Worth, Tex.
DEAR SiR-lt is with great regret that /
have TO announce TO you that after the full
est and most careful examination we have.
found that the alien land law enacted by
your legislature last spring will prevent
our making any more loans in the state of
Texas for the time being at least. If We
have among our 1900 members single
alien or unnaturalized foreigner il would
probably render our securities null and
void in your state. Therefore. we can make
no more loans until this law is either re-
pealed, or until we have decisions from the
courts which will show the full extent and
effect of it. 1t is probable that in the near
future cases of some kind viii be brought
up before the courts and decisions will be
rendered which will give US the necessary
information. If these decisions convince
us that the law will not affect us as we fear
1t will, we will then resume our business.
This decision will not necessarily interfere
with our work in Texas, except so far ress
making new loans is concerned / suggest
that you urge your members to hold on for
few months 1T least until we see further
what is going to be done IN this matter. In
the meantime you will have to tell all of
your borrowers that all of the negotiations
for loans will have to cease, no matter how
near completion they may be. We greatly

step, but if you elect legislators who will
enact absurd and injurious laws your peo-
pie will have to suffer for it.
We have already loaned over $3.50. 900, as
you know, in the state of Texas. and have
during the current year been lending at the
rate of $3.50, 0O0 per annum to the borrowers
of your state. You may thank your idiotic
legislature for depriving the state of this
money. Respectfully,
