the senate in defiance Of the popular
will which they do notrepresent. The
truth Of the matter is that it is often
easier for man whose only recon-
mendation is his barrel to gain seat
in the senate than it is to get himself
elected to the house. Tabor, of costly
night-robe fame, is a case in point-one
of many. There are objections, of course,
to the method proposed. but it re-
mains to be seen whether they out
weigh the advantages of it. It is
doubtful if the scandals so often con-
nected with the present mode of elect
ing United States senator's would occur
under that proposed.

THAT Governor Hogg's alarm be-
cause of the municipal Indebtedness of
Texas is wholly uniustified is shown by
comparison of that debt with the
municipal debt of Maine. The popula-
ton of its towns which have an excess
of $500 aggregates 298, 1904, which is
several thousand less than the town
population of Texas. Their total debt
in 1890 was SO, 696, 562, which was re-
duction from s14, 1872. POP in 1880. Gov
ernor Hogg in his last message places
the municipal debt of Texas at S1O,-
100000, a figure infinitely small when
the rapid development of Texas cities,
and their large property valuations,
are considered. Texas municipal Sc
elA,fties are all right.

WIZ Coke be In 1t?
Houston POSI-

Judge Clark shrewdly makes it point IN
all his speeches to gather to himself all the
advantage he can from the popularity of
Mr. Mills.
Is this straw indicating the Mills-Cl
combine against Coke mentioned lately in
letter from Waco, and will Mills, when
he speaks, return the compliment to CLARKE
And if Clark is elected governor aud
Mills senator flor both the short and long
terms) will the combine be strong enough
to defeat Coke and elect Clark senator in
1882
And if Coke is thus threatened what is
he going to do2 viii he be forced to take
the stump for Hogg to save himself7 If
that is the outlook, and the fighting is
forced on that line, tn re will be such a po-
itical upheaval as Texas has not seen.

Special to the Gazette.

special TO the Gazette.
san ANTONIO, TEX, March I5.-Deputy
United States Marshal Corrigan of Duval
county arrived here this morning, having
in charge three more prominent Mexican
ranchmen of the lower Rio Grande frontier,
who are charged with being Cara revolu-
tionistS. They are Agapita Canales, Romo
Mosques and Pablo Vera. They were
taken before United States Commissioner
Price and each gave bond in the sum of
5000. They are among the most wealthy
citizens of the Rio Grande border, and
claim that while they have shown no sym
pathy and given no aid to Cara that they
an their families have been prosecuted by
Capt. Bourse, and that Capt, Bourke has
succeeded in thoroughly terrorizing the
country, and has abused and mistreated the
most prominent people there.
They state that they will make it exceed
ingly warm for the captain, and additional
charges are being prepared which are to be
preferred against him at Washington be-
fore the war department instead of here.
Even among the United States troops, who
have been doing duty in the field In the
turbulent section ever since the trouble be-
gan, there is apronounced feeling of disap-
proval of Capt. BourKe's severe action
toward peaceable citizens, and several of
them have expressed q willingness to give
testimony of what they have seen.
The whole Rio Grande border is in q
very disturbed state and farmers are leav-
ing their homes and moving to other parts
Of the country in order to escape the rough
treatment which they have been receiving
at the hands of the troops. If court
martial is not ordered soon by the war de-
partment to try the charges preferred
against Capt. Bourke the latter will be ar
rested and tried in the Federal courts for
the various offenses with which he Is
charged in the numerous afidavits that
have been already made.

HOW 10 ELECT SENATOR'S.

The generally favorable comments Of
the press throughout the United
States on Senator Palmer's speech adj
vocating the election OF United States
senators by popular-vote, is full of sig
nifcance as it shows in the most I'M
mistakable manner the trend of popu-
lar sentiment on that subject as it has
never been shown before. Almost
every newspaper in the country of any
pretensions has discussed the subject,
taking the senator's exposition of it as
text. In being non-partisan ques-
ton, the discussion of it has been for
that reason free from political bias or
prediction of any sort, and therefore
fair and unprecedented. 1t was Sena-
tor Palmer's good fortune to be able at
this time to focus public attention on
matter not directly in the current of
contemporary politics, and evoke the
broadcast and most general as well as
favorable expression OF public senti-
ment concerning it, an expression that
viii serve 10 hasten the time when the
subject Will be an active political one.
He showed conelusively that while
the present method of electing senators
is good enough in theory, it is very
often otherwise in practice. Men who
could not be elected to the house of
representatives manage to hreak into

THE Austin special of the Dallas
News says the house did not vote down
the resolution inviting Senator Hill to
address it because Of opposition to him,
but because of the desire to hurry
through with business. It is to be
hoped that was the motive, and it is
also to be hoped that the next lower
house Of the legislature will be in some
degree representative of Texas ideas of
hospitality.

MAJOR NJ. LoosCAN, of Houston, in
terviewed by the Post, expressed the
opinion that the new courts of appeal
should be located at Houston, Fort
Worth and San Antonio. He said
"Hous ton is placed in nomination as the
point possessing in every degree the advan-
tages that are necessary to make her availa-
BILE as the place for the location of this
court. For number of years she has sat
silently by and rested content to see her
sister cities achieve their ambition toward
having located in their respective commu-
mites the several courts TO which they
aspired. Dallas has her Federal court !;
Jefferson, Paris, Tyler, Graham, Waco
Galveston, San Antonio, and Ell Paso each
have the same. Houston extends to each
of these cities the hand of congratulation
and covets none of their possessions, but
the three courts now 10 be established
must be adapted geographically to the
needs of the state and her people. All
things being equal Houston, Fort Worth
and San Antonio are entitled each to
court of civil appeals in justice to them
selves and in keeping with the symmetrical
development of the state and the distribu-
ton of its officers. While San Antonio
already has a Federal court, it is made an
exception TO the rule because of its being
the only leading city in the west and more
convenient for the purposes intended than
any other in that section of the state.n

JUDGE CLARK at Sherman spoke of
BERRY Camp OF Fort Worth, who
wants to be leutenant-governor on the

take here. Some time ago Mr.. Berry
Camp told THE GAZETTE he did not

Judge Clark a hypnotizer who reads
ones innermost thoughts?

NO PUBLIC OFFICIAL ABOVE CRITI-
CISM.

1t is said that the mayor of Fort Worth
told THE GAZETTE it would have to quit
abusing and misrepresenting Mills. We
don't know what influence, if any, the
mayor has with the paper, but it is self
evident fact that THE GAZETTE no longer
abuses the great Texan and next United
States senator.-[Corpus Christi Caller.
The above is printed for the edifca.
ton of those who permitted an attack
on THE GAZETTE by converting a
municipal convention into one not con-
templated by those citizens of Fort
Worth who voted for the delegates to
that convention.
THE GAZETTE has never "abused
or "misrepresented" any man. This
paper challenged Mr.. Mills right to
have Democrats rebu1ed for not elect
ing him speaker and disputed his
leadership, because he occupied the
attitude of hostility to free coinage,
and The GAZETTE quoted Mr.. Mills
own utterances as texts for its criti-
cisms. If there was abuse or mis-
representation, it was founded in the
text and not in the sermon. THE GA
zETTE is for Democracy rather than
for any man, and Democracy does not
demand the degradation of hard
money.
The mayor Of Fort Worth does not
control The GAzETTE's opinions or
utterances. The mayoralty of this city
has not yet reached that exaltation that
vests its occupant with the right or
power to dictate the opinions of other
men, and THE GAZETTE decides for it
self who among Democratic leaders adj
heres most closely to Democratic faith
and Democratic demand. Congress
men and senators are to vote on silver
coinage, and the Democracy is for
more hard money and less tariff.
Fort Worth gazette. [volume] (Fort Worth, Tex.) 1891-1898, 1892-03-16

The Western congressman who voted
against free silver coinage in the Fifty
first congress were with few, if any, ex-
captions retired in the election OF 1890.
It will fare hardly with the Democratic
party when it adopts the idea that sill
yer is not an issue.

THE reply of Judge Clark to the
charges of his intimacy with the rail
roads is to seek to show equal intimacy

busy pleading for THE GAzETTE's pos
sibilities

tending hospitality. Grant and Harri-
