nored the demands of his party and
kept a Republican Collector of the
Port of New York in Office in order to

of the mugwumps; who removed
Bowman Harris from the Office of U.

he strove to overthrow the McGill

great success.
want to say this also concerning
your platform, the one adopted at
Chicago. Take it aud lay it alongside
of that of the Republican party adopt

any difference, only that the Republic
cans promise more than the Democrats
do. / say "promise,n for we have
learned to value political promise at

Those who flatter themselves that
the Force Bill is dead would certainly
change their opinion if the Republi-
cans should elect Harrison and carry
the House of Representatives also.
The Radical party would willingly
pass the infamous measure if they had
the power and Mr.. Harrison would
take great pleasure in using it against
the SOuth.-Jasper County Reriew.
Why did it not pass at the last ses'
sion of Congress, Mr.. Review? Harri-
son was president and both houses
Republican. They certainly had the
power. We repeat that the Force
Bill is merely scare crow to divert
the minds of the people from live and
vital issues.

An exchange says DIR. r. L. Love,
of Choctaw, is mentioned as prob
able candidate for Congress from the

Benson Blake, well known citizen
of Warren county, was foully murder
ed last Thursday night. The Vicks-

was a sacrifice to the apathetic, trifiing
way in which the authorities treated
lawlessness, which became SO bold,
that it terrorized every portion of the
county, and the very suburbs of the
city.

To Control Freight Rates.
60 :

BATTLE CREEK, MICH.
Editor Gazette, Fort Worth. Texas
1 have thought for some time that the
true solution of the cheap freight problem
for Texas is to have the state substitute or
own a line OF steamers from some gulf point
to New York, and this line. in connection
with the railroad lines within the state,
whose classifcations and tariffs are cut by
commission only half as fearless in reduc-
tons as the general freight agents have
heretofore been in advances, would put the
people of Texas in shape so that the uler-
chants could afford to buy OF Texas jobbers,
instead OF Kansas City, St. Louis and Dem
yer, and the stockmen and planters of the
state would realize more nearly the worth
of their products If Fort Worth was sell
ing the goods TO her legitimate territory to-
day, she would easily have double her pop
ulation. But outside cities are doing it, and
the sole and only reason Is freight rates. II
a Texas railroad commission endeayorS to
protect Texas people, they can only reduce
rates within the confines of the state, and
the railroad managers have only to advance
the rates on their lines before the goods
reach our state line. enough 10 make good
the reduction within the state. But with
railroad and water transportation 10 New
York, entirely controlled by Texas, through
their representatives on the commission, at
least equitable freight rates are assured,
and if the gait set was q little less than
equitable, doubtless the railroad managers
would not object to trotting such gait for
2 few years, simply as an ''evener'' for the
years when the rates were trife more
than equitable. c. w. Posi-.

The Day
Governor Hogg has issued the following
proclamation designating Washington's

Whereas, the 22d day of February is now

apart and designated said day as Arbor day,
to be devoted to the planting and cultiva-
ton of forest shade and ornamental trees
throughout the state:
Now, therefore, l, j. S. Hogg, governor
of the state of Texas, do earnestly request
that said day be generally observed by the
people OF this state for that purpose in such
manner as seems best to the people of each
community, and
1 do recommend that all the officers and
teachers Of the public and private schools
of this state prepare suitable programme
cnlisting the interest of their pupils in this
beautiful custom, and that they and all
officers and employees in the public insti-
buttons of this state utilize the day in plant
ing forest, shade and ornamental trees and
shrubbery, to be the object of their future
care and attention, for the benefit and
adornment Of the public grounds, highways,
streets and waste places throughout the
state.
In testimony whereof hereunto sign my
name and cause the seal of state to be af-
fixed at the city of Austin, this, the 18th
day of January, A. D., 1892
