Correspondence OF the Gazette.
WASHINGTON, March 21.-The way the
youngsters of the present congress have
come to the front is astonishing In fact,
1t Is conceded that some of the very strong
est men IN the house are new men, now
serving their first terms. BY long odds
the ablest speech made this session was de-
hvered the other day by Bryan of Ne
braska on the tariff. He is only thirty-two.
II woke the echoes. 1t SURPRISED his
friends almost rs much as it dismayed his
enemies. the Republicans He has a mag
ni1cent face, resembling the late Sam Ran
dali to marked degree. The presence of
men like him and Bailey of Texas is a
hopeful augury. II shows that the Young
men OF the country are studying the great
political problems as seriously and patri-
otically as during any era of this republic
Mr.: Bailey is sure of achieving great dis
junction here, and j now predict that SO
soon as the golden opportunity comes, he
will reach, If not exceed the high standard
set by the Nebraskan. He is the best in
formed man on the political history of this
country that I ever knew He knows the
constitution like the school-boy knows his
primer. More than that he knows almost
by heart the debates between the intel
lectual giants over the adoption of that in
strument. He is a thorough student of his
tory, and his mind is stored with the great
facts of the ages. He has digested, too
what ne has read, and is far removed from
q mere book-worm. Mr.. Bailey is also a
practical man with big stock of common
sense. He is not going to get upon his
feet for the mere sake of getting his name
in the Congressional Record When he
speaks it will be to say something of inn
portance, something that will challenge the
attention of the house and of the country
In honoring this young man the people Of
his district have reflected credit on them
selves, for to a knowledge of political his
tory and great oratorical ability he adds in
flexible honesty and the nerve to vote and
act according TO fixed principles of honor
and patriotism.
Congressman Kilgore keeps up his
ancient record of objections to treasury
raids and private bills that are nothing
more than steals. He never fails to break
up the regular Friday night sessions that
are held to promote private interests when
ever he can do so. He Is the best Demo-
crat 1 ever saw, " was the eulogium passed
on him by United States senator-in the
hearing of your reporter not long since.
The genial colonel is freq uently rallied by
his party associates and colleagues on his
persistence in following the political star Of
Grover Cleveland. This is characteristic
of the man. He sticks as Loyalty by his
friends as he does by his ideas of right and
duty. He has greatly improved, too, since
entering the house as a speaker. At the
outset he had some difficulty in expressing
himself fuently. Now, while making no
pretensions to brilliancy of oratory, he can
talk pointedly and effectively He ALWAYS
preserves the serenity of mis- temper and is
one Of the most popular men in Washing
ton. Z. B. S.

THE ALIEN LAND LAW.
The rScOttish-American Mortgage Com
pany Abandons the State on
Account of 1t
Special to the Gazette

WACO, TEX, March 24-Rumor had it
here yesterday that an order had been re-
ceived by its representative in this city to
close MP all business and abandon the loan
ing field on behalf of the Scottish-American
mortgage company until such time as the
action of the legislature relative to
the re-enactmeut of the alien land law
should have been definitely determined.
A GAZETTE reporter called upon MIR. E. Il.
Dickson, their representative in this city,
and questioned him about the matter He
said: ''Yes. l am in receipt of a
letter from the Scottish-American mort
gage company, which I represent here,
instructing me TO stop all business till we
see what the extrasession of the legislature
is going to do about the alien land law, and
saying it will depend upon what measures
are passed with regard to alien corpora
tons, whether the company, will ever re-
sumo business in this state.
The policy of driving out foreign capital
Is simply suicidal, because most of the capt.
tai invested here is foreign capital"

What Does Hin savq

DETROIT, Mich, March 23-The Tribune
tomorrow win relterate the statement
made last Tuesday TO the effect that Hill
had declared he would not be
a candidate in the presidential race.
The Tribune will say: 1.-Two local
Democrats who went as emissaries
to Washington to see Hill were besought to
sanction the publication of their
names, but without avail. They
were fearful lest they be charged
with breach of faith in letting the cat out
of the bag too soon. The gist of Hills
words were THAT he was very ambitious
TO be president but was afraid
he would be defeated at the polls"
''Did he express any preference as among
candidates2'' was asked. You can say
safely that sext to himself Mr. Hill desires
to see the nSmination go to Mr.. John NJ
Palrser of Illinois. Mr. Hill is out of the
race for this campaign, except that he will
dictate the nomination.

Judge Terrell on Clark.
Special to the Gazette.

Spec1al 10 the Gazette
AUSTIN, Tex, March 24.-Judge Terrell
gave out the following card to-day: Judge
Clark is reported as charging me at Sulphur
Springs yesterday with having attacked
Professor Oran NJ Roberts in my George
town speech. Judge Roberts name was
not mentioned by me there. His appoint
ment as professor of law in the state uni
versity not only met my approval, but was
urged by me in personal interviews with
the regents, as was also that of Judge
Gould. The Hon. A r Mckinney, then
regent, now amember of the house of repre-
sentatives. was among those TO whom I APP
pealed. Their professorships were in the
line of their life employment AID profess
sion. Both men had been chief justices OF
Texas, and were qualified to teach Texas
law to Texas young men. The card recently
published and signed by five members of
the legislature, which brands with false
hood Clark's version of his meeting with
them and myself at the last session OF the
legislature, must excuse me from now
noticing other personal references and
faIsehoods in his Sulphur Springs speech.

Prositbltion state Convention.
To the People OF Texas.
BY order Of thestate. executive committee
Of the Prohibition party of Texas, 1 hereby
cali a state convention of Prohibitionists to
meet at Waco, Tex, on Tuesday, April 26,
1892, at TO o'clock, a. m. The business of
the convention will be as follows:
/. The election of delegates to the
National Prohibition convention, which
meets at st. Louis on June 20, 1892
, To nominate presidential electors.
g. To nominate candidates for governor
and heutenant-gOvernor and other state
officers and TO transact such other business
as may properly come before the conven-
ton.
All opponents Of the liquor traffic in Texas
are cordially invited TO come to the conven-
ton and assist in the deliberations. Every
such person viii be entitled TO a seat in the
convention as delegate.
If there was ever doubt in the minds of
Texas people before as TO the attitude of
the dominant party on the liquor question,
there certainly should be no doubt now
The Democratic party has as the two OPP
posing candidates now seeking the nomina-
ton Of that party for governor, on one
hand, the leader of the anti-prohibition
forces in 1887, and on the other hand, the
man who made perhaps the most violent
auti-prohibitiOn speeches in that cam paign.
Added to this is the fact that the saloon
forces are perfecting throughout the whole
shte compact organization for the pur-
pose of controlling the politics of the state
Their organization IS secret, but none the
less inimical to the interests of the state.
If there ever was time since the declara-
ton Of independence, when the lovers of
our country should stand together and con-
front this common foe, that time is now
We respectfully urge every one who be-
ieves in God and in the perpetuity of re-
Of the government, to meet with US to plan
for the redemption of the state, and the
protection Of its homes from the onslaught
Of its deadliest foe. Respectfully,
&. G. HEATH,
Chairman State Committee.

Harrison to SALISBURY.

WASHINGTON, March 24-In the senate
to-day nothing of general interest was done,
practically all of the session being spent be-
hind closed doors. At the conclusion of the
executive session, which lasted four hours,
the correspondence received yesterday
from the president relative to Behring sea
was made public. 1t comprises
two communications, one from Sir
Julian Pauncetote to Wharton saying ha
has received a reply from Salisbury in
which Salisbury again points out that in
formation in possession of her maiesty's
government does not lead them to believe
another years suspension of sealing is nee
cessary to prevent undue diminution OF
seal herds. His lofdShip. however,
proceeds to observe that prohibition of ali
sealing has this defect that British sealert
excluded from Behring sea would have
undoubted ground of complaint il
British claims be upheld by the arbitrators.
Moreover there is no security that the an
bitration will be concluded before the seal
ing season of 1893. Serious damage would
De caused to the industry by suspension Of
sealing for a long period. In view
of all the above considerations it appears
TO her majesty's government it wo uld DO
more equitable to provide that sealing in
Behring sea continue on conditions that
the owner Of every sealing vessel give Sc
curity for satisfying any damages which
the ar bitrators may adjudge.
Replying to this, the president, through
Mr.. Wharton, says: Urgency grows out
of the fact that much further protraction OF
this discussion viii make any modus agreed
upon Intellectual TO protec. the interests OF
the United States and give TO Canadian
sealers practical immunity by reason
of impossibility OF communication
of agreed restrictions 20 sealers
fastening to the sea to escape notice
of a possible modus. These ought TO be
stopped going to Behring sea and pursued
TO the very shore OF Alaska. This govern
nent expects to show if the arsitrstien
proceeds taat female seals constitute the
larger per cent of the catch of the pillazic
sealers. That in view Of this serious and

WASHINGTON, March 24-while the in
structions of the commanding officers Of
navy and revenue vessels to be assigned to
the duty of protecting the sealing Industry
during the coming season are net vat
wholly complete it is settled they will
differ from those of last year in the most
important particular. Last year opera
tons were confined to Behring sea. 1t is
now proposed to extend them also 70 waters
within the three mile limit along the en-
tire Alaska coast. In this way the Rock
cries on Probilyoff Islands viii be protected
to limited extent from poaehers along the
entire course usually followed by them.
Nearly $4,000 seals were slaughtered in
these waters within the three mile limit
last year. 1t is now proposed for the first
time to maintain an efficient patrol over
these waters with view to protection Of
seal herds on the way TO Behring sea.

sion of persons into Democratic primaries,
his position having been vigorously as
sailed by candidates for governor and other
prominent men. He has never held or
sought office, but has always taken part in
each recurring campaign since he was of

tration he was appointed special Judge
upon the supreme court in some important
Spanish land grant cases, and acted as a
member Of the court in those cases under
appointment of the governor.
