THIS is the caustic way New Yor,

THIS is the cdustic way New York
paper describes the attitude of the
mugwumps in the fight on Hill:
Go to the regular Democratic caucuses
and beat Dave HIPS delegates if you can,
and send your own to the Albany conven-
ton.
If you are able to control that convention,
all well and good.
If you are not, your going to the caucuses
or to the convention, though in so doing you
recognize their regularity, will not prevent
you from attending second Democratic"
convention in May.
If Cleveland wins the Albany convention
will be all right; if Hill wins, it will be I'M
worthy of Democratic consideration.
Did any one in all his experience ever
come across more contemplate body of
hypocrites than these Clevelaudite phari-
Sees2
When you put it in that way, the ordi-
nary mugwump procedure, whether alleged
Democratic or Republican, does not seem
to come quite up to the code of morals and
honor generally accepted by the mere poll
ticians. But that's the mugwump way.

THE Dallas News says there were
thousand voters in the district court
room of Fort Worth last Monday. AS the
district court room wouldn't hold 500
people, as the city convention was COM
posed Of ninety-four delegates selected
to choose a candidate for mayor, and
as not one of the delegates had dared
to announce his candidacy as a mills
man." the Endorsement" of Mr.. Mills
need not deter old Dave Culberson
from canvassing Tarrant county with
its 1000 Democratic votes.

OLE CITIES, GROWTH.

The growth of our cities has been
well nigh phenomenal in late years.
Nothing like 1t has been seen in mod
ern times. We read of the great popu-
lations and the magnifcence of many
cities in the olden times without, per-
haps, remembering that most of them
were the growths Of centuries, and
their splendor the elimination of an
artistic taste and genius that developed
with their growth. With US the case
is quite different. This is an age of
money-making, and it is to the cities
that men flock to make fortunes. No
one ever thinks of deserving town in
order to enrich himself in the country
He may go there for rest, recreation or
study, but not to make a ortune.
While there are millions in the soil,
and untold millions are produced by it,
it will not produce millionaires. They
spring up aud luxuriate only in cities.
Where wealth abounds, there will be
found great architectural growth. The
American Contractor has compiled
some statistics showing the growth of
twenty-seven cities for the year 1891.
In these cities &c, $50 buildings were
erected in that year, at a cost of $685.
900, 600, or an an average of So S25 for
each building. New York erected
1897, at a cost of $50, 900, 600, or $50, 900
each. Boston put up 1917, casting sl6,-
GOO, 600, or $3.50 each. Philadelphia
built 699l houses at an average cost of
$3.50, the total cost being $4,000, 900.
Philadelphia is city of homes, more
so than any OF those mentioned. This
fact arises, it seems, from the circum-
stance that taxes come chiefly from
licenses and from corporations. there
being no municipal taxes on personal

THE ninety-four gentlemen who met
in convention in this city Monday were
chosen to select candidate for mayor
of Fort Worth and for no other pur-
pose. There are 1900 Democratic
voters in Tarrant county, and when
old Dave Culberson gets among the
1906 Democrats who were not in the
city convention, called to choose a can
didate for mayor, perhaps there will
be no congratulatory telegram sent to
Mr.. Mills over Tarrant county's vote.

POLITICS VS.. FORT woRTH's TRADE
1t is a well-known fact that for years
the business interests of Fort Worth
have suffered as vicarious atonement
for things in city politics which were
resented by the farmers of Tarrant
county. Every merchant is aware that
cotton goes away from Fort Worth to
other places, some of them minor viii
lagos, and supplies are purchased else
where, because of the unhappy feeling
that has gradually grown up as the re-
suit of political distrust. This condi-
ton OF things The GAZETTE has con-
stantly sought to remedy, and it has
been fought at every point by men who
make politics a trade, and who are
more concerned about small advan-
tage there than in the growth of Fort
Worth's commerce.
In the game of sly politics which has
driven away the trade of the merchant,
no step has ever been taken that was
more unfortunate or more likely to in
| tensify the bitterness of the country
man than the assumption OF right on
the part of few delegates to a city
convention selected as mere agents of
the peoples will upon particular mu-
nicipal subject, and having no repre-
sentative capacity outside of municipal
affairs, to undertake to dispose of Tar
rant county's vote upon so important
matter as the choice Of United States
senator.
To thus coutemptuously ignore the
great body of voters Of the county, not
to speak of the voters of the city who
were never consulted upon the subject,
was one of those blunders, which, in
view of what has resulted in the past to
the business interests of the town from
the indiscretion of a few individuals,
are objectionable from any point OF
view.
The GAZETTE speaks thus PLAINLY
because of the vital interests at stake.
and because it is of more Importance
to every man, woman and child in
Fort Worth, that it should recover
whatever ground it has lost, and go on
to commercial supremacy than that
any candidate should be elected to any
Office. The issues in politics are
largely sentimental, but when cotton
and trade that should come to Fort
Worth go to a village for political
reasons it is high time to wheel about
and change political methods. 1t may
be very gratifying to the two or three
individuals who engineered the ruse
by which Tarrant county is declared
to be for Mr.. Mills to be able to assure
him that they have settled the matter,
and have the county safely slowed
away in their pockets, but that will
afford no consolation to the merchant
for the loss of his trade.
From assurances which have been
voluntarily given, THE GAZETTE is
able to say to the people of Tarrant
county outside the limits of the city
that Mondays action was in no sense
representative of the sentiments of the
masses of the people of Fort Worth,
that on mature deliberation the con-
vention would probably have repudi-
ated the resolution of instructions, and
that Fort Worth seeks no more than
its due share of authority in determin-
ing the will of Tarrant county on the
senatorial or any other question,

WACO, TEX, Feb. 29.-An immense crowd
gathered in the auditorium of the city hall
last night to hear the Hon. W. G. Brann
deliver his lecture on the Modern Mokanna
Mr.. Brann demonstrated to the audience
that he is an advanced thinker, a deep
scholar and bold and courageous speaker,
and was loudly applauded. He spoke again
tonight, his subject being 'SHumbugs.'
No admission was charged.

IT probably did not occur to Mr..
Mills that majority of ninetY-four men
chosen to elect candidate for mayor
Of Fort Worth, had no delegated
authority to speak for the 1000 Demo-
Gratis of Tarrant county. Had this fact
occurred to him he would doubtless
have refrained from sending a tele-
gram, which being interpreted under
the circumstances, means ''many
thanks for small favors."

THE great body of the delegates to
the city convention are regretting
their silence when q United States
senatorship was disposed of, now that
they have had time to think about it.
They may be for Mr.. Mills, but they
understand what is proper and what is
improper. The incident is likely to
curtail the privileges of the man who
is so prone to bob up in conventions of
all sorts with a type-written resolution.

If the delegates to the city conven-
vention had announced their candidacy
as ''AIills men," instead of Paddock
men, it is just possible that they would
have been elected to stay at home. The
city convention of ninety-four dele
gates assumed prerogatives belonging
only to the 1000 Democratic voters of
Tarrant county. The canvass for
United States senator is yet to be made
in Tarrant county.

CHICAGO, ILL.,, March 20.-A conf

yesterday and will arrange for head
quarters for 1000 Nebraska Democrats,

and Democracy of the whole state are
divided on the presidential Question.
We shall, however, stand by the nomi-
nee whoever he may be, and with some
possibility ofobtaining few electoral
votes. There was some talk of doing
this and gaining the state election by
Michiganizing the state. But Gov
ernor Boyd refused to call the neces-
sary special session of the legislature,
We shall, therefore, bring about a
fusion between the Farmers Alliance

The Manufacturers Record of
March 10 contains the following:
reports from all sections of the
south indicate a steady inflow of capt.
tai for investment in new enterprises.
The establishment of new industries,
as indicated by the incorporation of
new companies, shows that large
amount of new money is being placed
where it will be of immense benefit to
the south. The railroad situation is
still complicated by the uncertainties
of the Richmond Terminal reorganiza-
ton, but present indications point to q
plan that will place this system and
allied interests upon sounder
basis than hitherto, and relieve
the properties of the great burden of
obligations it was proposed to impose
upon them.
"The iron trade is strengthened by
the consolidation of the two greatest
producers, the Tennessee Coal, Iron &
Railroad Co., and the De Bardeleben
Coal & Iron Co., and there is still a
prospect of the inclusion of the Sloss
Steel & Iron Co. in the deal.
"Our record of new enterprises for
the week shows the following as the
more important items: A $125, 900
electric light plant at Richmond, Va;
a 100000 stock-yards company at
Louisville, KY; a $4,000 school-desk
