MILLIONS FoR DEFENSE.

The row with Chill has induced sew
eral ambitious projects for placing the
military on a war footing, whose cost
would make the billion dollar congress
ashamed Of its parsimony. Millions
are demanded for q more powerful
navy, millions for coast defenses, and
other millions for various defensive
purposes, to say nothing of the hun
dred millions asked for TO build the
Nicaragua canal, as in part naval
enterprise of great advantage to the
government
These extravaganza notions are the
fruits of oyer-heated imagination, of
undue excitement, and perhaps to some
extent OF a desire to ape the military
extravaganza Of European powers.
Jonathan's continent has no need for
powerful navies such as are demanded,
nor for elaborate and highly expensive
coast defenses or standing armies.
Jonathan is himself peacefully inclined,
has 10 fierce resentments, no ambitious
or plundering designs upon other coun-
tries. He is satisfied with his patri-
mony and his station among the rulers
Of earth. He has all the territory he
wants, and has no sort OF fear that any
one else will attempt to despoil him of
any portion of II. He feels entirely Sc
cure on this head, and does not feel the
need for arraying himself in defensive
armor lest some staggering foreigner
take offensive liberties with him or
trespass on his rights. He does not
contemplate war, and therefore does
not need to be everlastingly preparing
for,it as they do to theip>sorrow and
Fort Worth gazette. [volume] (Fort Worth, Tex.) 1891-1898, 1892-02-02

cost in Europe. An "armed peace y
does not fulfill his idea of domestic
tranquility. Ever since the foundation
of the government the peace of this
land has thrived without arms as they
understand them in Europe. When
this government was far weaker than
it is now, no one thought seriously Of
maintaining an EARNED peace"
Jonathan's situation relieves him of
the necessity for large military and
naval armaments. Why forego the
extraordinary advantages of location
and OF nature, to burden himself with
the expensive devices OF Missionaries
and enthusiasts Why should a hero
intrenched within an impfegnable
fortress go about clad in heavy armor
and armed to the teeth? He would
simply wear himself out without adding
one particle to his security.
But that is not all. Where is the
money to come from? Taxes are al
ready burdensome to the verge OF en-
durance, and deficit is threatened.
Pensions and subsidies are swallowing
up the national treasure faster than it
can be wrung from the masses. Should
the government create another public
debt for vastly increased military
equipments, navies and fortresses? If
so, peace will be made but little less
expensive than war, and the tempta-
ton to go to war will be vastly in
creased. A man is never SO much in
clined for a row as when he has made
a walking arsenal of himself.

THE rallying around Senator Hill by
the Democrats is spontaneous. They
have confidence in his nerve and lead
ership, as well as in his craftsmanship.
He is so cool and deliberate, even now,
that no friend can get him to say he
would accept a nomination. Whatever
he does will he for Democratic success.
Republican, mugwumlp and even Dem
ocratic abuse never phases him. He is
one of the few political leaders in
American politics who have all the
qualifications for command.

A BIT OF HISTORY.

The Courier-Journal takes the Gal
weston News to task for its derision Of
the statement that Mr.. German was
sent by President Cleveland to the
national convention in 1888, with plat
form which ignored both the presi-
dents message to congress and the
Mills bill. The CT. reasserts:
Whenever the occasion has seemed to
| require it, and for purposes of illustration,
| not of criticism, the Courier-Journal has
stated the fact that Mr.. German of Mary
land was Mr. Cleveland's immediate, per-
| sonal representative in the national Demo
cratic convention, which assembled at St.
Louis in 1855. There neither is, nor has
been, anything new, strange or startling
in this. Mr.. German was the chief
| and the ablest of MIR. Cleveland's campaign
managers in 1854 Naturally, Mr.. Cleye-
| land trusted him. Consequently, he was
dispatched by Mr.. Cleveland to the national
| convention of 1885 with d platform pre-
pared in advance, which ignored the presi-
dents message of 1887 and the Mills bill,
and reiterated the compromise tariff plank
agreed upon at Chicago in 1884.
The platform committee of the st. Louis
convention, conceiving the message and the
Mills bill to embody the real issues of the
time, amended the platform submitted by
MIR Cleveland through Mr.. German, so as
to include specific Endorsement of the
message as "a correct Interpretation" Of
the platform Of 1884, and, in addition, a
distinct approval Of the Mills bill.
These are simple facts. We give them /;
we do not construe them.
The difference between our Kentucky
and our Galvestoa-Dallas contemporary
is that the hobby Of one is principle,
a Democratic principle, and the hobby
OF the other Is anan, man who in
spires visions of a foreign mission.
This is why it is4that the Courier
Journal says OF Mr.. German and his
present tariff ideas:
Mr.. Garman has the right to claim consid-
eration for his opinions, having been in
very good company at st. Louis in 1888,
that is to say, having beenfn company with
che late William L. Scott of Pennsylvania,
Mr.. Cleveland's personal representative.
Let US have no more gable about tariff
factions. There are no longer any 10 the
Democratic party. We are all tariff reform
ers. Differences as to detail will settle
themselves.
And this is why it is that the News
is constantly seeking to destroy the
reputation of Mr.. German, 'impeaching
his private and political integrity and
echoing all that is said about him by
the Republican press, which hates him
because of his success in defeating the
force bill in Republican senate.
If.Mr. German were for the man for
president from whom alone the News
has any hope of foreign mission, he
would escape its censure. That, too,
is mugwumpism.

TIE TRUTH ABOUT MIR. MILLS.

TEE TRUTH ABOUT AIR. MILLS.
The thick and thin organs of Mr.
Mills cannot forgive THE GAZETTE for
having to eat crow on account of the
charge that the Phillips letter was a
forgery. Having admitted that it was
a very foolish letter, and credited it to
the work OF an unscrupulous opponent,
they now seek to make peace with Mr..
Mills for criticising his utterances by
the wholesale denunciation of every
body who questions his right to die
tatorship in Texas, and of the Demo-
cratic party of the nation.
THE GAZETTE has been paid the
high compliment of the greatest
amount OF vituperation that has fallen
upon those who are disinclined to sur
render one-half of the Democratic plat
form at the behest Of one Texas politi-
clan, and who have ventured to tell
that politician that his factional fight
upon the Democratic speaker and the
Democratic majority in congress should
be stopped.
Some of the organs which under
stood the situation endeavored at the
outset to show that THE GAZETTE had
misrepresented Mr.. Mills opinions and
his intentions. He stepped in imme-
diately, to their confusion, addressing
studied insult to Speaker Crisp, and
boldly reasSerting his intention to en-
barrass the party all he can by re-
volt, made doubly dangerous coming
as it does upon the eve of presiden-
tial campaign.
Other organs whose acuteness will
not measure with their length Of
tongue have contented themselves with
warning upon The GAZETTE for the
exercise of a right which they SO
eheerfully forego: the right to think
for itself. The burden of the song of
these, which is sung in many KEYS, is
that THE GAZETTE is an instrument in
the hands Of wicked politicians for the
abuse of MIR. Mile. These patriots for
get that the people OF Texas know that
it is no uncommon thing for the pres
emit managers of TIE GAZETTE to have
an opinion, and that they have never

ing Hampton. Another attempt was made
to shoot the marshal, when the second
barrel Of the shotgun took of the top of
Hampton's head. Hampton, when only
fourteen years old, il. company with his
father killed an old man by the name Of
Herman, four years ago. For this offense
ne was sent to the reform school at Wash
ington for eight years and his father
was sent to Detroit for ten
years. After staying in the reform
school about eight months he effected his
escape and returned to this country and
took a part in killing Bill Cristy. Six
weeks ago he and John Brown called Josiah
Poorboy and Whitehead, both deputy
United States marshals, out to their gate
and shot them dead. At that time he had
defied the authorities.
After killing Hampton, Bruner hurried
on and arrested John Brown. Brown told
the marshal where q lot of the stolen
plumber was. II had been taken
from country store. Deputy Marshal
Bruner deserves much credit for his
bravery Knowing that it was certain
death to go in that neighborhood on horse
back he left his horse twelve miles away.
The parties are being held awaiting orders
from the Fort Smith court.

Farmer,s Advocate

The regulation of railroads in a manner
that will be just to them and fair to the
general public is a difficult and complicated
undertaking and one that requires time,
patience and great labor to perform 'satls-
factoriiy. If the present commission has
failed to make mistakes it has certainly
surpassed the expectations of its most en-
thuSiastic admirers The defects of their
rules and regulations must be cured rs they
develop themselves, Just as is done in shap-
ing and fitting new statutes to new condl-
tons. The people should not suffer them
selves led into hasty conclusions, for there
are men ready TO strike it down on account
of the very success it might achieve.

Mills will not find much actual gold in

The proposal to,adopt an amendment
to the Federal constitution providing
for the election of United States sena-
tors is connected by some of its sup
porters with proposal to give each
state an additional senator for each
million of population it may possess.
There is growing feeling against the
equality of power shared between such
states as New York and Texas and
Nevada and Rhode Island. Popular
representation in the house of repre-
sentatives amounts to nothing, at last,
against the veto power of senate
which preserves some of the worst
features of the rotten borough system.
The temptation, too, to split states for
party advantage, as was done with
Dakota, and as might be done with
Texas would she consent, suggests an
ever-present menace to the political
peace of the country, which has been
disturbed on many occasions by adesire
for partisan advantage. The same re-
volt of sentiment that calls for the re-
modelling of the House of Lords, is
moving in this country for remodel
ing of the senate.
