The Successful Members Meeting
Last Night-Some Fine GYM
naSium Work.

The reception rendered the men,
bers of the Young Mems Christian
ASSOCIATION by the reception committee
OF the association at the rooms last
night, was success in every way.
The evening entertainment opened
with an address by Mr.. J. E. Boyn-
ton, president of the association. His
address was followed by song by the
Baylor quartet. After the song the
main feature of the evenings enter
tainment, an exhibition by a team
from the different clsses of the gym
nasium department was carried.
The team was taken from
the senior, junior and students
classes, the personnel as fol-
lows: Ben Little, B. F. Huff, B. H.
Hill, J. b. Cooper, Fletcher Lewis,
Edgar Ragland, Louis Mimms, John
Sears and George Garfield. The ex-
ercises consisted of body drills, par
allel and horizontal bar, tumbling,
leaping and ring drills. Some of the
feats performed were difficult and
zone In style that would have been
a credit to professionals. The spe-
cialty work of John Sears on the
rings won for him an encore, while
the work of Ben Little, on the hori-
zontal, B. F. Huff, tumbllng and
summersaults, and George Cauheld in
all round work won for them rounds
of applause. The work reflected great
credit on Mr.. Shattuck. the director,
who unfortunately was debarred from
taking his place on account of recent
illness. Mr.. Ben Little was the lead
er and director for the evening.
After the exercises were over the
crowd enjoyed lunch and spent the
evening in games, music and CONVEX
sation.

What Know About Hardware and
Our Elections.

our Elections.
Unfortunately we have but one
political party. The primaries, with
their barefaced fraud and sham, re-
ally control the elections. In city
elections where there are no prima-
ries, we have numerous purchasable
voters. Men without responsibility
who pay no taxes. The candidates
who manage this vote, are usually
successful, or in other words, the illit-
arate irresponsible class who pay no
taxes, determine who shall rule the
city. I know a remedy. Disfranchise
every one who buys or sells his vote?
Keep their names on the county re-
cords and advertise them in the pa.
pers. What party or legislature has
the moral courage to pass such law?

The new steam laundry, al South
Fourth street which, after months OF
preparation, will opon up about Mon
day next, is of such character as will
surprise people and which just fits
the new era on which Waco is enter
ing. Just as the mule street car has
gone to the dust pile before the cleo
trio street car and the little squat two
story business buildings are giving
place to grand four and five story
palaces, so the wash tub and wash
board and other crude appliances of
washing are bound to 60 before
laundry business run by machinery,
moved by twenty horse power en-
CINE in which washing, rincing, dry.
ing, sprinking, starching, mangling
and ironing are all done by wonderful
machinery as wonderful as any great
applied inventions of the 10Th century,
and with a capacity to do easily all
the washing of fifty thousand people.
The new firm of laundrymen, Mr.. j.
P. & Geo. A. Wood, who have given
to Waco this grand plant, will proba.
bly, have an opening day in which
visitors will be invited, and then those
who see this plant in operation will
have occasion to open their eyes.
Previous to that a brief description
may not be amiss.
The new laundry, to be called the
Artesian Steam laundry occupies the
entire building, aI1 South Fourth
\ street, $50 feet in depth and is filled
with the latest improved washing ma
chinery. The wells, tanks and ar.
tesian pipes are on an immense scale.
A sidetrack runs to the building where
coal cars are unloaded at once into
great coal bins. The engine is OF
twenty horse power connected by
shafting and betting all over the build
ing There are two immense washing
machines run by steam with a capacl
ty incredible and here the washing is
done faster than one can think and
cleaner than any hand work. The
rinser is marvel of machine. There
is no wringing or twisting, With the
unimaginable revolution of 200 times
a minute in flood of pure water the
clothes in a moment are thoroughly
rinced and come out nearly dry. They
are passed from this into an immense
drying room of hot air and are dried
in twenty minutes. The starching is
done by fine machines two in number
one for collars and cuffs the other
for other articles. The ironing is done
by three machines. One is an enor.
nous mangle for sheets, pillow cases
etc. The wonderful machine will iror
10000 pieces a day. Another is fol
cuffs and collars alone with capacity
OF 10000 pieces, and the third fol-
other goods. Thus from inception
of the dirty clothes the work is done
by wonderful machinery till the
clothes white as snow and in form most
perfect go into the sorting and mark
ing ROOMS thing of beauty.
The plant is one of the finest in the
country, The entire cost will, with
teams and delivery wagons and Other

EQUITY, KAN, Jan. %, 1872.

Ed. AGlTAToR: In In the AG1TAToR
of January IL, in an article on first
page, the writer states that over
forty years ago the statute books of
this nation were blotted with the
Fugitive Slave Law, and later the
Kansas-Nebraska bill. The first
made every man subject to the
demands of the pursuers Of fugi-
tive slave, and the latter was but
little better. That it took four
years of cruel war to blot those
laws from the nations statute books.
That malevolence, injustice, brutal
ty.and intensified cruelty were the
dominent features.
If it would not be asking too
much, / would like to have the
writer state, first, in what way did
the Fugitive Slave Law make every
man subject to the demands of the
pursuers Of q fugitive slave? second,
in what did the brutality, ETC., con-
sist? third, what were the main
features of the Kansas-Nebraska
bill, and how carried out? fourth,
when was the Kansas Nebraska bill
repealed? fifth, under what law
or rule were Nevada, Nebraska,
Colorado and the Dakotas, Wash
ington and Wyoming admitted to
the Union?
Yours in search of truth.

orally accepted by people who think
anything about the tariff If the
framing and administration of tariff
laws we're not in themselves full of
iniquity, the principle upon which
the tariff system is based is all
wrong. The design and the effect
of our present system of raising
revenue is to compel the poor to
pay asmuch. sometimes more, tax
than the rich. just as long as peo-
pie do not know they are paying
the governmental revenues, there is
little danger of government being
called to account for extravaganza.
, An indirect tax can be raised with
less friction than a direct tax.
People do not stop to enquire, when
they buy tobacco or a suit OF
clothes, how much of the price they
are paying is indirect tax. An in
direct tax il the most favored by
despotisms, and governments that
aim to make the many support the
few. Also an indirect tax invites
extravaganza. We would have had
no billion-dolar congress if the Jay
Goulds and Vanderbilts had been
paying an income tax. Instead Of
q lobby in congress urging vast ex-
penditures, there would be lobby
to prevent extravaganza, if the
taxes we're fairly apportioned among
the people. People should pay only
in proportion to. means, or ability to
nav. That 10 not the principle in
an indirect tax.
When taxes are indirect, people
are sometimes forced to pay them,
or do without the necessaries Of
life. The principle is all wrong;
but the principle of indirect taxa
ton is not the least Of the injustice
and extortion of the American sys-
TEN of tariff. 1t il claimed that for
every dsllar the government re-
ceives as result of our tariff laws,
the manufacturer receives five dol
lars. Thus in an indirect levy, not
only il the government revenue
furnished, but in the name Of pro-
lection of American industries, the
people pay higher prices for things
they must have. Thus the people
do not only pay the indirect govern
nent tax, but are forced to pay
tribute to tho lordly manufacturer.
Not content with the working of an
Infamous system of taxation and
robbery, the American manufacture
ers have all formed trusts. These
trusts fix as high price a. the tariff
will permit, and limit production.
No wonder Mckinley was honored
with, the governorship of Ohio. 1t
doomed high tariff, or high robbery.
No wonder the poor Scotch boy,
