Saturday Nights Closing.

Special to the Gazette.
GALVESTON, Ten, April 19.-It was late
hour last night when President Harrison
concluded his speech, and his closing re-
marks were not sent out to the country in
time TO get IN the morning papers. The
president concluded as follows:
l do much want that the time shall come
when the friends of America, when our
citizens living in temporary exile in foreign
ports, shall now ana then see steam into
foreign harbo-s some fine man-Of-War with
the United States flag, with guns on her
deck as good Us are OF the deck OF any ship
OF war, and with a crew that Is is perfect
as any Jacks that travel the sea and want,
also, that in these ports, so unfamiliar with
the American flag, there shall be found our
steamships and sailing vessels flying the
one common flag and carrying from our
shores the product that these
MEN OF Toll
have brought to exchange FOR the products
OF other climes. l regard most favorabIy
what is likely TO be accomplished by indi
vidual effort, the early completion of the
Nicaragua canal. The Pacific coast should
no longer be found by sea only by the
passage of the horn. This short route
should be opened, and it will be when
Texas shall spin more of the cotton that
she raises, when these great states of the
South shall in their discomfort with their
old condition arouse themselves to the con-
dition in which they shall compete with the
older manufacturing cities of the North and
West, and not less agricultural, not less
cotton-but more. All this, and the loca-
ton in your own midst of
GREAT MANUFACTURING ESTABLISHMENTS
that shall furnish home market for the
products Of the farmer, is the vision l
have. All the thoughts have of this mat
ter embrace all the states and all my coun-
trymen. l do not think of it as Il question
Of party advantage, / think of it as 4
great American question.
Now, by the invitation Of the address
which was made to me, / have freely
spoken my mind to you upon these topics.
l hope I have done so without Offense or
improperly. l would not on an occasion SO
full of general good feeling as this Obtrude
anything that would cause division or dis
sension. For all who differ from me l have
the most respectful tolerance. The views
1 hold are the results of some thought and
investigation, and are questions oil public
concern.
Postmaster General Wanamaker, Secre-
tary Rusk, Governor Hogg and the Hon.
William Fl. Grain made brief and peril
nent speeches, after which there was
public reception, closing with a grand pyro-
technic display.

Postmaster General wanamaker.

Special TO the Gazette.
GALVESTON, TEX, April 19-Last night
at the conclusion of the presidents speech
loud calls for PostmaSter-G General Wanna
maker We're made. He said he had just az
rived by special train, having stopped at
Palestine to visit his sister, therefore con
sidereo himself fast mall that he had
been trying for the past two years
to give Texas the best mail facilities the
government could command, and it was his
pleasure to say that there is an awakening
all over Texas, the like of which is not in
any other state in the Union. 1t seemed to
him that we had come 10 the morning of
prosperity in this country, that some
regretted that they had not lived in the
midst of the stirring events of the past, but
he believed we had come to greater time,
greater opportunities and more wonderful
things to be done for the people and
country than any of US had even seen.
AS TO RECIPROCITY.
he said the president never said anything
that ne did not mean, and if the people i'm
agine that this business of reciprocity-of
shipbUilding, of great cargoes of goods to
be sent across the sea-iS only ON
paper they were badly mistaken;

WACO, TEX, April 19.-Hon. c. c. Nc
Culloch, mayor of Waco has filed his veto
TO the resolution passed by the city council
Friday night providing for the employment
of Stephen Turner as city engineer for u
period of two years 1t Il salary Of $50 per
month. This resolution was passed TO, IN
way, answer the 1852 voters who voted for
Mr.. Turner for that position, after the
council had declared the Office abolished
The mayor cites as his reasons the follow
ing:
MAYORS OFFICE, April is, 1891
To the City Council OF Waco:
The resolutions passed by your honorable
body instructing the mayor TO enter into a
contract with Mr.. Stephen Turner TO super
wise the construction of street paving, etc,
in the city of Waco for the ensuing two
years, at salary Of $50 per month, do not
meet my views.
Without rejecting on the competency Of
Mr.. Turner as an engineer, he has not, so
far as my knowledge extends, had any eX-
perience in building streets.
The salary IS in excess of what would be
necessary to employ man of equal com
potency.
This would be putting him on higher
plane than if he were an officer of the city.
II he were an officer under the law, his
Office could be abolished, and if necessary
for the interest of the taxpayers, his salary
cease TO exist, but under the proposed con
tract he could hold the city liable in q suit
for damages. whether the city council or
the taxpayers We're satisfied with the serv-
ices rendered or not.
This council has 10 right to appoint or
employ the services of any party longer
than the expiration of this fiscal year, be-
cause the mayor and five Of the aldermen
only have tenure OF Office for that length
of time. Therefore we cannot legally ap-
point officers or contract for salaries for
two years without a special act granting
this power.
For these and other reasons have the
honor to return the resolution without my
approval. c. c. MCCULLOCH Mayor
The mayor was seen by THE GAZETTE
correspondent in regard to the veto and he
said:
i have acted in this matter on legal
grounds, after consulting with the city at
torney. | have no objection to Mr.. Turner
personally, and if he is contracted with for
q year instead of two at u reasonable sal
airy I shall be willing to see him act as
city engineer

Hospitality TO MOrEan's Raiders.


Our progress quite rapid in Kentucky, was
now accelerated, and we were habitually 81
hours out Of the "a in the saddle, very fire.
quently not hating st night or going into
camp at all For the first three or four DAYS
we saw nothing OF the inhabitants save in their
character as militia, when they forced them
selves on our attention much more frequently
than we desired. The houses were entirely de-
serted. Often we found the kitchen fire blazing,
the keys hanging in the cupboard lock, and the
chickens sauntering about tho yard with a con-
hdence which proved that they had never be-
fore seen soldiers
As the first scare wore OF. however, we found
the women and children remaining at home,
while the men went 20 the muster. When a
thirsty cavalryman rode up to house TO inquire
for buttermilk he was generally met by buxom
dame, with halfdOzen or more small children
peeping out from her voluminous skirts, who

MILLIONS OF MILES LONG.
A Pleasant Talk About Comets and Their
Streaming Tails.
Boston Herald


IL is q wonderful sight TO see a woman Of
average hight with hair so long that it reaches
TO her feet; but what would you think of a
hair switch 900, 000, 600 miles long? Those err
ratio celestial adventures called comets are so
named because the ancents thought they re-
sembled the flowing hair of a woman. These
switches in the sky have been seen 100 degrees
long, which is more than the distance from the
zenith 20 the horizon, says writer in the Phila-
delphia Times.
In the olden time the appearance Of a comet
was a dreadful event The strange yisitant
struck terror to the hearts of ignorant and
supersttious people, because it was thought to
be a sign of the wrath Of Jehovah and that il
presaged war; pestilence or famine It was also
q thing of dread because of fear that it might
run into the earth and knock ali things ter
restrial into smithereens. But, thanks to scien-
tific research in these latter days we know that
the flaming comet is as harmless as a snow
fake.
The constituents Of O comet are practically
the same rs are found in all the nebulOus matter
in space In fact il is not far out of the way TO
say that comets are simply masses of nebulae
moving in orbits around our sun, and it is quite
probable that the other millions Of suns or stars
are similarly visited by the strange specters.
The fact that stars can be seen through the
nucleus or head of a comet clearly demonstrates
that il is not solid body. It is thought by
astronomers LnAL INC mass OIL q comet IS so
light that its weight is far less than that Of the
earth's atmosphere. 1t is probable that the
extreme tenuity of comets accounts for the &C.
centricity of their orbits They don't pass
around the sun at a nearly uniform distance
from il, but they often approach very near in
rounding our great luminaFy and then rush
away into space so far that some do not return
in hundreds and even thousands of years
But when il comes TO fast travelling, the
comet has no successful rival. Our earth is q
pretty lively traveller, covering q good deal
more than million miles day in its journey
around the sun. But a comet when paying
its respects to the sun, would travel at rate
that would make the eaFths gait relatively
about like that of weary tramp when passed
by the Chicago Limited" on the Pennsylya-
mia Railroad.
In the year 1643 comet visited the solar
system sporting q tail 200, 100000 miles long.
1t was heading straight for the sun, and as
tronomers with betting proclivities were will
ing TO wager that the pretentiOus visitor would
At least pass near enough to old Sol to get its
tail scorched. It got uncomfortably near the
sun, but il merely whisked its wealth Of tail
and sailed around at the rate of more than
l,250,0OO miles an hour, passing from one side
Of the sun TO the other in about two hours.
This is one record made in the days of our
fathers that hasn't been beaten in our fast
going generation.

was a porter in hotel az Greenwood Lake.
where Jay Gould used 10 stop and the anancier

he was starting for New York said 20 him:
Mr. Gould, have saved up $780, aud
would like to increase il in the next few months
and 90 West and invest it,
Gould looked at me sharply moment, and
then whispered in my ear:
80 Buy Erie
81 bought Erie and cleared over 81, 900 on
the investment. The next time Gould came
10 the lake he asked me II had followed his
instructions. ] told him that had.
Sell IL az once and keep your promise
about going West said Mr.. Gould.

was missing. He had gone West bought a
