ANorHER PAYMENT ON THE MoNTEREY.-The
Secretary OF the Navy has approved bills for
the sixth payment on the coast defense vessel
Monterey, building at the Union iron works,
San Francisco, amounting to $146, ,605.50, and
for the reservations due the builders of the new
cruiser Newark, amounting to $S7,32O. An
application has been received from the Cramps
for the premiums earned by the Newark ON her
Official run, aggregating about CSC, $50, but it is
probable that no allowance will be made, as the
vessel was long over time and the penalties are
more than sufficient to wipe out the premiums

REALTY AND BUILDING.
THE LOAN COMPANIES PUT.
TING MONEY IN FORT WORTH
The Seventh Ward People Moving to the
Front-Chamber of Commerce
Meetiu.-Deeds Recorded.

There were eleven deeds filed for record
yesterday, chiefly for lots in suburban ada
lions. There were also filed for record yes
terday a number of trust deeds TO loan COM
panies for money borrowed TO be used IN
building operations and industrial enter
prises. One loan of sl5. 900 was made. The
fact that the trust companies are loanlng
money comparatively freely is certainly en-
couraging There is no lack OF enterprise
in Fort Worth. and our citizens have an
abundance of real wealth, but need money
TO improve their property and to invest IN
enterprises they know will yield them
handsome revenue and at the same time
aid in developing the city The loans which
have been made in the past few weeks
show that the companies lolning money IN
Fort Worth have full confidence in Fort
Worth. All that is needed now is for Fort
Worth people to help themselves The
harvest is ripe, and they need not wait for
neighbors to help them gather the increase.
Let them, like the man in the fable
of old, go out into the field and
do the work themselves. Fort Worth can
build the city hall she needs, she can i'm
prove some piece of land and make park,
she can begin work on the two school
houses that it has been decided TO erect
The county of Tarrant can take the pre-
Gninary steps looking to the erection of u
800, 900 courthouse, III short, city, county,
and individuals can, with justice to them
selves do much TO hasten the period of
great prosperity which is certainly near at
hand

DETROIT, Mich, June 2.-The committee
on temperance this morning reported en-
couraging success in view of the small offer
ings for its promotion. The women tenn
perance societies are the main factors IN
bringing abovt this result The selling Of
liquor on Sunday, to habitual drunkards,
minors and late at night, was denounced,
and also its expectation to heather lands.
DR.. Pattsn read a report from the COM
mittee on theological seminaries, stating
that it has received the reports of fourteen
institutions. Two for Germans and two
for negroes. The German school at New
ark, n. j., is doing much needed work, and
should be assisted. A new institution at
Omaha applies to be received under the
care of .ile assembly, but as it is not certain
that it will have sufficient resources. it was
recommended that no action be taken at
present.
The election Of several professors was
announced and it was recommended that
no further action be taken on overtures on
certain Presbyterians bearing on the Briggs
case. The report was adopted.

WOMEN IN POLITICS.

Theoretically there is a good deal OF
speculation as to the part woman will
play in the politics of the future. AS
d politician she does not play very
prominent part now, but it is assumed
that either she will undergo in few
years such radical change or transfer
nation as will qualify her for active
participation in state affairs, or that
politics will somehow accommodate
itself to the capacities, the mental and
moral powers and traits Of woman.
Whether either or both OF these evo-
lutionary processes may come about in
time is matter for the curious to busy
their brains with.
But viewed from the practical
standpoint, and in the face of all that
may be said about the growth of
woman's influence and power, she does
not, the world over, WELD anything
like the political influence exerted by
her in dynastic politics during the first
half of the present. or OF any previous
century. Where are the Catharines,
Maria Theresas, Lanisas, De Mantle
nous, Du Barrys, Elizabeths, and Marys
OF former days. Queen Victoria, the
foremost ruler OF her sex, is but little
more than fgurehead. Her talents
are chiefly employed in finding hus-
bands and wives for her numerous
progeny and dabbling in German court
quarrels. Nathalie of Servia is a
handsome woman with a talent for
political intrigue, q desire to
rule, and colorado title to q
throne, and yet she was bundled out Of

THE OPPOSITION.

There is always an opposition TO the party
in power. 1t is well it is so. It makes the
ruling power circumspect. 1t Is natural
that the present regime in Texas should
have its critics, its gainsayers and its
enemies. The administration has no right
TO set itself up above criticism. There is
nothing in the whole course of Governor
Hogg or any of the heads Of departments 10
indicate that it sets up such a claim.
But in criticising Governor Hogs
official acts, as well rs imputing to him
motives for which no proof exists, the
Governor Hogg. When aSpersionS are
cast upon the chief executive Of Texas,
who represents the people, the public de-
nands the proof. If the facts are not pro-
duced, then the charges must recoil on the
heads of their authors. 1t might be well
10 hint to the opponents of Governor
Hogg's administration that they are doing
the very best thing they can to continue
him in the gubernatorial chair by over 2OO,-
900 majority Austin Statesman.
If ever man had reason TO thank
God for the enemies he had made, that
man is Governor Hogg. Hogg would
have been governor without the aid of
his enemies, but he would not have
gone in with such rush" but for the
Central railroad, the Capitol syndicate
and the indiscretion and i'll temper of
his opponents. So it is now. Unreason-
able opposition and ill-tempered criti-
cism are always boomerangs. and the
enemies of Hogg are making his second
calling and election doubly sure.
The people are not fools. and they
are just and honest and fair. Governor
Hogg should pray for long life to his

her kingdom the other day in clumsy
but very thorough manner. And what
is significant about ii. no one outside
of Sarvia seems TO care very much
whether she rules that country OF
sewing circle in Vienna.
Among the remaining queens and
princesses of Europe, what name has
any prominence or is in any way
notable? Instead Of managing political
intrigues as they did century ago,
their chief cares are limited to the
nursery and millinery matters. Euge-
ME, that had influence enough to throw
France under the iron heel of Germany,
is now a poor, sorrow-stricken relict.
The Austrian empress is ambitious only
to manage her horse, which she does
admirably. To jump six-barred gate,
horseback, is a greater triumph for her
majesty than the successful conduct of
national council. The empress Of
Germany is chiefly employed in rearing
children. Women play very insig-
niicant part in European politics to-
day, and petticoat rule is sadly fallen
from what 1t was in other days. As it
is not commended that men are less
chivalric than formerly, or women less
capable, the reasons for the decline will
be to search for elsewhere. This may
be trifle discouraging TO those har-
boring woman's rights proclivitles, but
as perseverance is said to conquer all
things, an attribute that is likewise
predicated of love and labor, it is hoped
that they will not be deferred in their
labor OF love by anything said herein.

ing were read and adopted
Communications were then in orde:, and
one from w L. Black from Fort Mckavitt
advocating the establishment of pernan-
ent wool exchange in San Antonio, pro-
voked lengthy discussion. This discus
sion finally drifted, without any decision
being reached, from the main subject 10
that of wool packing, and in turn wool
application of the scalp law. which had been
passed through the legislature under
the effort of the state Woolgrowers' asso-
citation. The price OF manufacturers, as re-
lated TO the Western producer was also a
theme. The day was spent in full dis
cussion of similar themes.
1t was stated that the wool industry of
the state was in a very hourishing condi-
ton, but there was some objection to the
price obtained.
Officers for the ensuing year were elected
as follows; President. l.. G. Haney; first
vice-president, ". l.. Black; second vice

SENATOR CARLISLE AND FREE COIN

Senator Carlisle says he will vote for
free coinage OF silver, because nine
tenths Of the people are in favor of it,
but in his own mind he believes it will
be bad thing TO do. This opens for
discussion the oft-debated question,
should legislative official act accord
ing to his own views of right and
wrong, or should he be governed by
the clearly expressed wishes OF ma
jority of his constituents?
If Senator Carlisle regards himself
merely as the agent OF the people of
Kentucky. he is bound to do whatever
they tell him to do. But does not q
member of the United States senate owe
higher duty to his people than that of
mere obedience? He is given high
and responsible position because OF SUI
perior ability, learning and judgment.
Are these to have no part in guiding
his conduct? Possibly nine out of ten
people in Kentucky are clamoring for
free coinage of silver; that does not
prove that they are right and the other
one wrong. The populace is often in
error. Senator Carlisle has read much
and thought deeply, and he is naturally
man of great mental strength. On
most questions of public policy his adj
vice would have greater weight than
the opposition of nine men of common
Judgment, withoIt special investiga-
ton OF the merits of the question at
issue. Why, then, should he subordi-
nate his convictions to their demand?
Upon another financial occasion some
years ago, L. Q. c. Lamar, then repre-
senting Mississippi in the United States
senate, was instructed by resolution Of
the Mississippi legislature to vote for
a certain bill then pending in congress.
He refused to do so. and wrote
courteous letter stating his reasons.
He felt sure, he said, that such law as
was proposed would prove calamitous,
and his conviction of that fact was so
strong that he would nof, even under
obstruction, vote for the bill. Though
the people of Mississippi, of his party,
were perhaps as strongly in favor OF
that bill as the Democrats of Kentucky
are in favor of free coinage, they
listened to him with respect, and
showed their admiration of his bold
spirit of independence by re-electing
him to the senate, and they never re-
GREETED doing so. In that case Lamar
was right and the people were wrong.
Senator Carlisle may be right, and
nine-tenths OF his people may be wrong.
Let that be proved, and the senator
charged with 2 high trust who violated
it because of popular clamor will lose
the respect of those even whose will he
has followed.
