BOARD OF TRADE.
Special Meeting to be Held for
GENERALIZATION.

"A Special Meeting TO be Held for
reorganization
The Olympia board Of trade passed its
second annual meeting Tuesday night
without electing officers. Notwithstand-
ing the fact that every one Of the forty
four mem bers was served with an individu-
al notice, only President Barnes, Secretary
Esling, John r. Convey Robert Frost,
Joseph Chilberg, Mitchell Harris, Ben
Vincent, John Byrne, q. B. Mann and Il.
Bushon were present.
The necessity for strong and practical
organization ought to be apparent to every
business man. Mr.. Barnes, in his opening
remarks, referred to the lack of interest in
the board since the close of the capital
campaign, as many seemed to think that
the business Of the board had ended there.
He thought it would be serious blow to
allow matters to 60 by default, and not
have an organization to take hold of any
enterprise that might turn up. AS presi-
dent of the board for the past few years he
felt that he had done enough work to justi-
fy his relief from the Office
Mr.. Young followed in a criticism Of
those who were not members of the board +,
but who spent their spare time in finding
fault with what had been done and in COM
planning of what had not been done. He
suggested that these people get in and take
an aCDlV6 DdTU LII BuubaVOIllB 10 uIu JHb
board rather than to stand by and see the
entire city hanging on to the coat tails of a
dozen or more men. The Importance of
an active board of trade could not be over
estimated, he said, and an earnest effort
should be made to keep one alive. He fa-
vored plan Of having every business man
interested.
A new organization was talked of, but
the old members were not inclined to per-
nit new ones to enter without admission
fee inasmuch as the old members have
paid in large sums of money while others
4 have simply stood on the outside and COM
planned.
Mr. Convey said that he preferred the
name board Of trade TO chamber of COM
lnsrse, and he favortsi keeping up the
I present body. He moved that the election
Of officers be postpoIed for one month and
that a committee be appointed to revise the
articles of incorporation so as to provide
that the membership fee shall hereafter be
$40 only.
Both motions were carried, and President
Barnes appointed as such committee
Messrs. Convey, Mann and Bryne. 1t was
decided to hold q special meeting for the
adoption of the amended articles when th'
committee is ready to report them; aftel
i which, at the suggestion of Mr.. Chilberg, 6
committee will canvass the city for new
members. Mr.. Convey advised that in the
meantime o circular be prepared, sketchinF
the history and purposes of the board, anc
distributed among the business men of thu
city.

national Democratic platform demands
the repeal of this tax. What does il
demand that for? The natural in.
ference Is that II is to give the states
the power to erect state banks.

was adopted after the bolt.
There was notable contest before
the people OF Texas last summer and
all the issues were discussed by the two
candidates for governor. They sub
mitted their claims 10 the delegates
fresh from the people, and these decid-
ed in favor of Hogg. "They might
have gone further and Jared worse

saw the point, and oheered until the

would lead TO a break In the line OF the
Solid South. SHAY the time never come
in Texas or in all the South when the
little finger OF Democracy is not
stronger than the loins of the elements
of dlsorganization.
In an eloquent peroration, Mr.. Lam
ham pleaded for party discipline, and
closed amidst o roar OF applause.

When Mr.. Lanham sat down calls
were made for Swayne. Upon coming
forward he announced that he had been
canvassing Parker and Hood counties
and had good news from them. II am
the Democratic nominee for state sena-
tor" he said, "and tho only Demo-
cratic nomineen He then read
Judge Beckham's letter OF August %,
to Y. o. Martin, declining the Demo-
cratic nomination for the senate.
Nothing was left but to call conven-
tion to fill the vacancy, and was nom
mated" The Third party had can
didate running. Beckham was running
as an Independent, and the Democrats
had to nominate candidate or be out
of the contest
As to the split at Houston, he read
from the address signed by the dele
gates from this county, and added,
'T've got crazy brother who signed
that, too
Enumeratihg the shining lights Of
Democracy who were supporting Gov
ernor Hogg, he mentioned Coke and
Mills, and at the utterance Of their
names the audience cheered Justify.
The speaker then proceeded to give
Clark aud his supporters severe
drubbing. The leaders who supported
Clark were broken-down politicians
who had been defeated for office. The
nominees on the Clark ticket were
taken up seriatim and each was des
cribed as having been beaten in a con
test for some ofiice. Again he ad
dressed himself to the head of the
ticket, and concluded with 'if l could
think OF anything harder to say OF hin
| would be glad TO say it,"
The laws passed by the last legisla
ture were gone over. These were the
fellow-servants law, the law giving two
district courts to Tarrant county, the
corporation law, the railroad commits
sion law. the law 10 quiet titles to land'
in Tarrant county, and the civil cour
of appeals, all of which were of specia
| interest to Fort Worth.
A tribute was paid to the followers o
Judge Clark, who, after the Houston
convention. accepted Hogg US the regu
lar nominee and were supporting him
and then the speaking concluded amt
applause, and the meeting broke up.

NInnre,s Greatest Poem.

''Lalla Rookh" was read universally
and translated into several European
languages. The poem has no lofty Mil
tonic flights--no hall of Eblis reaching
the height of the sublime-but it is cal
culated' to suit the taste of every order
of the mind. Young and old, educated
and uneducated, comprehend its luxu-
rious imagery, sweet passages, fascinat-
ing descriptions and gorgeous voluptu-
business; hence the uncommon popular
ity Of the poem. Those who have hearts
for the deeper things of humanity-what
enjoyments come not from external
color, orient hues and Tyrian purple?-
will prefer the heart which is shown in
many Of Moore's other productions. -
Westminster Review.

The First. Protestant in Japan.

The first Protestant Christian in Ja-
pan was one Murata, military retainer
of the Lord of Saga, in the southern is
land of Kiushiu. In 1860 he went TO
Nagasaki, by order of his chief, and one
evening, as he was crossing the harbor
in boat, he picked up book that was
floating about in the water. The writing
ran from side to side, "like the crawling
of crabs" and upon sending it to one of
the Dutch then settled at Nagasaki, he
learned that it was the Christian Bible,
then prescribed book. Curiosity spur
red him on, and he had one of his as
sistants learI the language of the book
and translate it for him, sentence by
sentence.
His study was continued in secret,
with a few friends, after his return
home. When difficult passage was
found, messenger was sent to DIR. Yer
beck, well known missionary then in
Nagasald, for its Interpretation. Murata
was afterward baptized, and his name
now stands first on the roll of Protes-
tant Christians in Japan. - London
