terested him In the scheme. His in
fuence brought Grant to take favor
able view of it, whose military educa-
ton showed him the advantages of
SANTANA bay as coaliug station for our
navy. He went ahead without consult
ing congress, and negotiated a treaty
for the purchase of the territory Of
San Domingo, including SANTANA bay.
When the treaty was submitted to
congress it was rejected almost with
out consideration. Charles Sumner
led the attack on it, and limited that
there was corruption in the job. Grant
grew very angry, and breach began
between him and Sumner that soon got
beyond healing. Sumner dashed Grant
in his speeches, and Grant cut off all
of Summers patronage, and used his in
fluence in the senate to have Sumner
deposed from position as chairman of
the committee on foreign affairs.
They never became reconciled. Out
OF this contest sprang the animosities
that led to so many Republicans leav-
ing that party and joining the Liberal
Republican movement of 1870 and 1872.
Grants view of the value of SANTANA
bay was correct from the point of the
soldier, and the importance now at
tached to acquiring that body of water
as naval station vindicates his judg-
ment, though it is not proposed to go
SO far as he went. We do not want the
whole country, with its barbarous pop
ulation of negroes, but good harbor
for our navy would be of value too
great to be estimated in case of war
with naval power.

The Federal Building.

At last it looks as if some active steps
were being taken in regard to Fort Worth's
government building. Word was received
from Washington yesterday to the effect
that the United States district attorney had
passed on the title to the block selected by
the treasury department, and reported the
title absolutely without faw-perfect IN
every detail. It is now said that the arcni-
tect at Washington Is at work on plans for
the building here. The government had u
number of plans prepared, but the site at
Fort Worth being an entire block, II was
found the plans would not suit. a gentle
man of this city who is interested has been
informed that the building here will be
massive and at the same time
beautiful structure. 1t will be so con-
structed that vast additions can be made to
it at any time, as the government business
grows, without destroying the symmetry OF
the building. The word comes from Wash
ington that in three or four months work
will be under way. The money to pay for
the building, sl75,O 900, is ready for use, be-
ing at present locked up in the govern
ment's strong box. An effort will be made
to have the red Pecos stone used in the
building

If the cattlemen- are going back in
the Cherokee Strip, as isreported, they
will find that Jordan is hard road to
travel when the government gets hold
of them, and it can not be said that
they won't deserve what they get.
President Harrison ordered them to
vacate the Strip by the 1st of Novem-
Der of last year, but at their earnest
entreaties he gave them thirty days
more, upon the agreed condition that
they would get their herds out by De-
cember and stay out. If they, or any
considerable number of them, have now
violated that agreement and defied the
president by returning to the forbidden
lands, they are going to feel the weight
of the presidential displeasure, come
down upon them like pile-driver.

The Outlook.

The outlook for Fort Worth was never
better than it is right at this time. Every
move made now is upward and denotes
progress, and to those who watch the
signs of the times it is apparent that Fort
Worth is just now beginning to take on
its second growth, that growth which
fills out and solidifes, which gives muscle
and hardens the bone. OF the seven places
in Texas known as cities, all have had this
second growth except Fort Worth. The
growth of these other cities must be by
slow accretion or spasmOdical from this
time on. For ten years to come this city
will grow as no city has ever grown be-
fore. She will develop from forces already
at work and from natural causes. The
foundation has been laid broad and deep,
and now the superstructure will begin to
rise. In 1894 the Fort Worth of 1891 will
be but memory. People who do not live
in Fort Worth see this better than we do
and wonder why it is there is not greater
activity amoug our own people.
Fort Worth people are meeting their
maturing real estate paper in very salts
factory manner. Yesterday they paid OF
$40, 730 as shown by the records. Most of
this lifted vendors lien notes from prop
erty on which first and second payments
had been made.

FoRNEY, KAUFMAN COUNTY, TEX, June
19-Johnnie Anderson and Charley Mey-
ers, two boys, twelve and thirteen years of
age, ran away from their homes in Dallas
yesterday, and were picked up by a farmer
five miles northwest of Forney and were
brought into town. They are held here by
officers to await instructions from their
parents, who, they say, live at 2l2 near the
corner of HARDWOOD and Bryan streets.
Charlie Meyers gives his name as also be-
ing Charlie Carr. He says that his father
is an employee of the Dallas show case fac
tory. He gives as reason for leaving
home that his father was whipping his sis
ter, and he struck his father with piece of
wood on the head and the old man got
pistol to shoot him. Johnnie says that he
left because his mother had whipped him
every day for three weeks because he
would run away every day and stay out un-
til p. m. and would not go to school They
both want Jobs rather than 60 back
home. They made break for liberty and
were lost for about an hour.

UNLESS the people of Fort Worth
make themselves heard now it will be
too late hereafter. When one man in
one ward is given the same power of
taxation and legislation that three or
four or five men have in other wards
there is peril to the interests of the
majority. Taxation without represen-
tation is the one tyrant especially hate
full TO free America. Let the people
speak now, before the tyranny is fas-
tened upon them.

same SANTANA bay.

THE Democrats of Texas are prac-
tically unanimous on tariff reduction
and free coinage of gold and silver, and
an issue by the government OF sufficient
legal tender to supplement the volume of
circulation. The question still remains,
how are you to get this additional cir
culation into the channels of commerce?
Shall it be by a banking system of some
kind? BY system of deficits or pub
lie improvements? BY loan to the
individual citizens? This is the issue,
and there will be no lodging it.

THE Democratic voter IS about as
much opposed to do-nothingism as he
is to Know-nothingism. He don't in
tend to take too much for granted from
his representatives or candidates, and
certainly not everything on faith. He
is going to stick to the party, and if
anybody must 60, it will be the leader
who wants to keep the party shrinking
issues and bowling down to Eastern
managers. The Democratic voter
knows the party is his even if indi-
vidual chicken-pie eaters are left out.

WHEN you dispose of the national
bank act, the sub-treasmy, the deficit
scheme, the Gibbs bill, etcetefa, the
issue still remains. BY what method
are you to get the legal tender out of
the United States treasury into the
channels of commerce? This is the
question every man is asking the
Democratic party to answer. You
can't answer them with speech on the
tariff, for they are unanimous in Texas
on that issue, and want the financial
issue to 60 along with it, and a specific
national Democratic platform on both
questions.
