A Texas Letter Which Burns"


DALLAS, Texas April 20, '92.
EDITOR GREAT WEST:
Being a close observer OF national
politics, q reformer OF sixteen years
standing, and as such having had
some experience in state politics, to
avoid long and tedious campaign,
to make victory assured and to
await development in the ranks Of
the opposition, would it not be we'll
to delay holding any state nominal
ing conventions until after the ma
tional nomintions have been made.
During the campaign in Kansas in
1888, as some now propose to do, we
while | doubted the wisdom OF the
action at the time-named our state
ticket early, and two months before
the election came off the republicans
conceded the state to us; a month be-
fore it came off it was anybody's
fight, and two weeks before it came
off we were hopefully whipped.
Therefore-and believe l am quail.
fed to speak by the board-to avoid
unmerited disaster-for l believe we
deserve to win at this time,-I advise
that no state nominations be made
until after the holding of the Omaha
convention July 4th, and that then
we hold mass county ratification
meetings all over the United States
the first Saturday following it's ad-
journment, at which time delegates
to state nominating convention
might be selected, the work to he
pushed vigorously forward from
thence on to the closing Of the polls
in November.
You have got Texas out, and Texas
now is in the fight to win. We are
going to "Kansasize" Texas this fall.
The long pent up feelings of the peo-
ple have been turned loose, and are
being given vent to in no uncertain
measure in the large gatherings that
are being held daily in every village
and town and hamlet in the state.
Every sub-alliance in Texas has in
dorsed the St. Louis platform and re-
solved in favor OF Independent politi-
cal action. We believe that a grand
reunion OF the Grand Army of the Re
public and the United Confederate
Veterans should be held at Omaha
July 4th, wherein the blue and the
gray might walk arm in arm to
the grave of sectionalism, thus ex-
emplifyingin fact what the politicians
would only have in theory, a united
country. one and indivisable forever.

Hon. EVERETT W. FISH:
Please send me for the enclosure
two copies of your campaign book
Creased Lightning" l have it's
contents in the GREAT WEST, but in
pamphlet form it will be handler for
reference. The GREAT WEST is the
kind OF a paper l like. When l get
it 1 know there is one editor whose
tongue is not tied and who don't
were party collar on his neck. You
ought to be thankful that you have
been blessed with an uncommon use
of your vocal organs-with more
than one talent-and you have been
true to the trust and charge. You
did not act like a traitor and hide
your light under bushel, but you
have let it be seen by all men, and
it's heat will be felt, too, and will tell
on the minds of men when they ap-
proach the ballot box. Go on in
the grand work, Doctor, and God be
with you in your troubles and trials
with which the Satans Of pl1tocracy
may obstruct the path to freedom.

Just Started,

The New Forum, A new weekly
paper edited by: w. S. Morgan, j.
F. Mcdowell, Col. Jessie Harper,
Jerry Simpson. Mrs. S. E. V. Emery,
Mrs. Marian Todd, Mrs. Annie L.
Djggs, Geo. Washburn, II. E. Tau
beneck, l.. P. Featherston, and
others.
The New Forum is a new peoples
party paper recently started in St.
Louis, Mo. 1t has the greatest
array OF talent Of any OF the Reform
papers, and will take it's place in the
front rank among them.
This is the paper which the postal
authorities are endeavoring to
handicap by refusing to send out
the sample copies which the pro-
prietors of the paper want to send
to the people. Mr.. Morgan, the
editor and General Manager, wanted
to send ont free to the people one
hundred thousand sample copies,
but after appealing the matter as
high as he could go-to Mr.. Wanna
maker, the Post Master General
and being refused by him from
sending out the sample copies, he is
now appealing, as he says, to God
that is to the people-(the voice
of the people is the voice OF Cod.
In view of this discrimination
against the New Forum we hope
every reader of this paper will at
once subscribe for it. It can be had
by those who subscribe by the first
of June, for 60 cents for one years
subscription. NEW FORUM PUB. Co.,

PROCEEDINGS OF THE EVER REST
SOCIETY.
THE INSPECTION.

Having hired fine fiery pair of
livery stable plugs and an omnibus,
a dozen and half or twenty ladies
and gentlemen swung into it and on
to 1t, and off went the outfit at a
lively gallop. Mr.. Piecrust, the
driver, had put on his best suit of
clothes and behavior to suit the Dig
nifty of the occasion, and all would
have gone if he had left the "bottle"
behind him, but taking "pull' this
time and a "swig" that time, he soon
got "full" and he fell off. One acct
dent never happens alone, the wheels
struck stone and upset the machine,
causing the women to scream muir
der and the men to cry for help. 1t
would not have been so bad if it had
occurred anywhere else, but right
before a tannery and a slaughter
house, just as the workmen were 60
ing to breakfast, added not a little to
the discontinue OF this heightened
party.
Happily they sustained no very
serious injuries, so with little as
sistance solicited from the "mob"
the heightened swells went on their
way rejoicing. Arriving in front of
the electric light company's building
Mr.. Seldom was the first to get down
from the "bus" and the first to enter
the shops, He "monkeyed" around
with some "dead" wires but he
touched one wire too many, and it
wound him up until the gravy oozed
out of his eyes and it took his
friends half an hour to straighten
him out. 1t must be remembered
that Mr.. Seldom's speech had not
pleased every one, so they all with
ont exception gave vent to their
bonded evil spirits in uproarious
laughter.
The consequence was Mr. Seldom
wanted to go home and wanted to
go home quick. And as his word |
was law, although the ladies did not |
know II, they scrambled into the
"bus" and drove away. Mr.. Piecrust |
drove them through the park just to
give their nostrils change of diet,
and to cool them off, for he knew
they were very shot" Mr.. Snub |
had mania and desire to view the
lanes and alleys. Mr.. Truzeal
wanted to select a location for the
first latitudinarian church. Divvy
wanted to visit pill factory and
Speaksoff wanted to buy the latest
novel, so all but Mr.. Careless got out
of the "bus" and walked away.
Mr.. Piecrust managed to drive Mr..
Careless to the hall with his notes
and observations and then both of
them went on stare"

has bcem no effort as yet to get the

Friedman takes no stock in

The Thirty.third street mill was fairly
started to-day, and operations will be
resumed in the pudding department.
The strikers did not interfere with
the non.union men and assisted the
police in preserving order. The firm
claim to have 10 skilled men at work IN
tho union mill, so at Duquesne and q
at Homestead. They say the strike is
broken.
In this connection the advisory com
mittea at Homestead gave out the fol-
lowing tonight: "But two men went
to work in the Homestead mill to-day.
One was Edward Lyon and the other
Charles Gettle. There are less that 400
in the mill, and 100 are tramps."

out by the Vice President Saturday
evening requesting absent senators to
return to the capitol and to not leavei 1t
until the session finally closes had not
porceptibly III at allD increased the
ranks Of those present to-day; but no
question came up that required the as
certainment OF the fact whether there
was voting quorum present or not. II
It had bcen necessary to test that point
the result would probably lave been q
demonstration in the negative. But
there was nothing in to-day's proceed
ings that required any formal vote.
The Joint resolution extending till
next Thursday last years appropria-
tions for the government bureaus, COW
cred and included in the sundry civil

house, was passed without a word OF re-
mark and without any division. Al
most all that occupied the attention Of
the 6euuEe WbTe speeCl6a Vu tue thflu
question by Mr.. Hawley and Mr.. His
cock, advocating and defending the pol
icy OF protection and the statement by
Mr.. Vest respecting tho profits Of the
Arlington wooden mills. Mr.. Vest had in
q former speech asserted that that COM
pany had in 1901 paid q dividend
Of so per cent aud that there
had been troubles and strikes
among its workmen. Both these
assertions had been characterized in a
letter from Mr.. Whitman, the secretary
Of the company, to Mr.. Allison, which
had been read some days ago and
printed in the Record, as absolutely
false" and Mr.. Vest, In view OF that
denial, undertook TO prove from Mr..
Whitman's own report to the directors
that his, Mr.. Vests, original assertion
was practically true and that Mr.. Whit
mans assertion was false. AS to
strikes and labor troubles at the mills
Mr.. Vest sustained his first statement
by various extracts from newspapers Of
Boston and other places.

THE DRUNK INQUIRY.

All tho DrInkers stand Together, and rs
n Consequence srr. Cobb VIII not Take
the Gold Cure.
wAsnlSsToS, D. O., August 1.-The
special committee appointed to inyosti-
gate the charges Of drunkenness Of
members Of the house resumed its ses-
sioks this morning and a half dozen
witnesses testified that in their opinion
Representative Cobb, OF Alabama, was
not drunk when he delivered his argn-
ment in the Noyes-Ro Rockwell election
contest, the witnesses generally testify
ing that in their opinion Mi. Cobb was
suffering from exhaustion incident to
the delivery, when in poor health, OF q
long speech, marked by many inter
ruptions and much badgering on the
part OF other members. Mr.. Bynurn
testified that 1t was not an uncommon
practice for members to take bouillion,
beef tea, coffee and other aiimularts
out OF cup during long continued
arguments, and from knowledge OF
Mr.. Cobb'E physical condition, he was
satisfied that that gentleman could not
speak continuously for two hours with.
out taking some atimulant.
Representative Kilgore, OF Texas,
testified that he he had seen one mem
ber drunk on the floor OF the house
during this session, and perhaps one or
two members who, he thought, were
under the influence OF liquor. He
could not recall having seen any mem-
Der reel through the aisles. He re-
called one particular occasion when q
member addressing the house seemed
under the influence Of whisky. Mr.
Kileore said that he was in the chair
during the greater part OF Mr.. Cobb's
argument. II never occurred to him
that, Mr.. Cobb was under the influence
of liquor. ..s5
G'Brien Moore. correspondent OF the
81. Louis Republic, testified that he had
talked with Mr.. Cobb Immediately be-
fore and after bia argument, to which
he had listened, and he knew Mr.. Cobb
was not under the influence OF liquor.
Andrew Devine, one Of the official
stenographers OF the house. produced
the manuscript Of the official report OF
Mr.. Cobb's argument, and testified that
he saw nothing in Mr.. Cobb's conduct
TO justify the charges made.
Many other witnesses testified in MI.
Cobb's behalf, and the committee aI,
iourned. :.
It is very likely that two reports will
be presented, and that Representative
Simpson will file a minority report in
behalf OF his fellow Alliance member,
Mr.. Watson, Of Georgia, 1t being prac.
tically assured that the majority will at
least make some structures on Mr.
Watson.
