FINANCIAL DISCUSSION.
Ex-Governor John Ireland Debates
the Subject With the Texas Press.

The original controversy between
Ex-Gov. Ireland, of Texas, and the
San Antonio Express, on the none
tary problem, now confronting the
Legislative powers of the Govern
ment, has gone far beyond the limits
assigned. In a recent letter to that
paper the Ex-Governor tells what he
thinks about certain newspapers, as
well as about the silver question. He
says:
zone would suppose, too, that in
your own profession an editor would
know something of the origin and ma
ture of early newspapers. You say
the original design and use of news
paper was to give to the world sour
views" or editorials; whereas history
shows that they were simply "news-
papers," as the term implies, and that
it was an afterthought to write edi-
torials. No one ever supposed that
an editors opinions were "news."
But you say that my views OF the sill
yer question are shovel" Now, that
the modern history of our country
should be "noyel" is little novel. II
will be found with little research
that my maiu views are almost iden
teal with the act of 1887, which was
in force when the silver was destroyed
by the revised statutes in 1873 Thai
law is as follows: "The gold and sill
yer bullion besought to the mint fol-
coinage shall be received and coined
by the proper officers for the benefit
OF the depositor." Now, what of it,
novelties? 1t may be true that there
is more silver produced now thar
there was in 1873, but the increase
has not kept pace with the demand
and population. A contemporar!

A SAD COMMENTARY.

1t is indeed a lamentable state of
affairs when reputable Democratic
journal is compelled from a sense of
public duty and personal honor TO de-
nounce the men and measures of the
party it has go long and ably defend
ed But that is exactly what more
than one good Democratic newspaper
in this broad land is doing. Hereto
fore when a newspaper left the ranks
of either of the two great political or-
ganizations it went straight into the
other camp, giving to the public at
large the impression that personal
gain or political preferment had serv-
ed as the handspring for its action.
But such is no longer the case. Good
and responsible papers are leaving or
threatening to leave both parties
without even the slightest inclination
toward the other The following
scathing arraignment of the Demo
cratic majority in the Senate is only a
fair sample of the discon ented and
disheartened utterances of certain
journals, made squarely from within
the party lines:
"The Republicans in the Senate,
governed by the present rules, have it
in their power to resort to the same
tactics now pursued by the Democrats
in that once great and respectable
deliberative body, to defeat any meas
ure of reform that may be introduced.
The 6libustering of the Democratic
Senators to defeat the repeal of The
Sherman law has given the cue to the
Republicans, and wouldn't they be
very unlike Republicans TO sit quietly
and submit to the passage of the re-
peal of the Federal election bill now
pending in the House, where the Dem
ocrats have established the precedent
by which the minority can defeat any
bill introduced? Why waste time on
a tariff reform bill in the House, when
It is sure of defeat In the Senate. The
truth is, however much we may regret
to admit it, the United States Senate
Is composed mainly Of demagogues,
and they have reached point in leg

THE ADVANCING SOUTH.
Late Reverses Were Advantageous
to the South.

A recent Southern writer, discus
sing the effect of certain reyerses, up
on the present and future prosperity
of the South, ssys:
1t becomes palmer every day that
in spite of laws or lack OF them, the
South is now on the verge of an era
of greater and more substantial pros
perity and progress than she has ever
known, in the first place manufacture
ing is steadily increasing, iron mills,
tounderies and machine works are
becoming more in numbers and
larger.in output The fact that, dur
ing the Stringency of the past year,
when northern factories were closing
their doors. and northern mills sus-
pending, southern manufacturing
enterprises have continued to prosper,
has not failed to have its significance.
1t has convinced the capitalists of the
advantages of southern investment.
Municipal authorities, also, are grad
ually learning that it is not wise
policy to bleed every corporation that
comes to cities, and that it is more
far-sighted and truly economical to
sid and further the plans of inves-
tors.
Besides this we cannot hide the
fact that reverses themselves have
redowned to the advantages of the
south. The failure of cotton to bring
sufficient money has forced southern
planters to raise other products.
These forced experiments will now
become permanent, since necessity
has proved the value of them. The
stress of money and difficulty of cred
it has compelled the farmer to raise
the meat and supplies he has been
accustomed to buy. The farmer,
through the hard tutorship of distress,
has learned the glorious fact that his
farm is self-suppor.lng, and that cot
ton may be simply surplus
money-getter after necessities are sup
piled. Best of all the present crop is
not made on borrowed money. 1t is
not plastered with mortgages The
south, for the first time since the war,
is again on cash basis, and can
maintain it for the future. The plant
er has learned that he is not primari-
" merchant and incidentally a far
mer, and the whole section has dis
covered that borrowing can be can be
dispenced with. Then, even without
discussing the beneficial laws which
are sure to come in little while, is it
not plain that the days of sorrow in
the south are over? All we need now
is hope, courage and energy. What
we need is to depend more upon
strong arms and firm wills than upon
any possible legislation, and stop talk
ing and signing over "hard times"
which no longer exist, and which
have brought rich blessings with
them,

On Their Own Heads.

Commenting upon the recent law
lessness in that state, Virginia writ
er truthfully says: "The fearful oc-
currence at Roanoke makes every
Virginian shudder with horror But
there can be but one opinion of it
among right thinking men. The laws
must be obeyed and respected, and if
obedience to them and respect OF them
can be secured only by the dreadful
resort to bullets, these bullets must be
called into service Upon their own
heads must rest the consequences to
citizens who seek to defy and over
turn the law. There are but two
states possible-anarchy or obedience
to the law-and come what may, the
Times says the law must be obeyed.
Lynching is but a form Of monarchy"

CORNER STONE CEREMONIES.

On Tuesday the Oath instant,
promptly at II o'clock a. M, the cere-
monies appropriate to the laying of
the corner stone of the new Miller
county court house will begin. The
ceremonies are to be under the aus
pices Of Texarkana Lodge No. 241, F.
& A. NJ, which will form into march
ing column at the East side Masonic
hall at given hour-probably 10
O'Clock a. fn.-Tuesday, and, taking up
a prearranged line of march, will pro-
ceed to the court house grounds,
where the public ceremonies are to be
conducted.
Other Masonic bodies Of Miller
county are invited to be present and
participate in the exercises 1t is to
be regretted that Governor Fishback
finds it impossible to be present to
address the assemblage on this most
auspicious occasion for Texarkana
and Miller county, at large. There
will, however, be no want of speakers,
to do credit to the occasion, which
promises to be indeed memorable
-
and important one. The county Of
ficers, headed by County Judge e. f..
Friedell, will be present in body to
assist in the ceremonies.
We trust that the citizens of Texar-
kama and Miller county will, by tacit
consent, make this day an universal
holiday for themselves and families,
and turn out enmasse to swell the as
semblage.

TO the pertinent query "Who's

Not any one, except few persons

The Mckinley duty on lead did not
raise the price of the native product,

KNOWLEDGE

Brings comfort and improvement and
tends to personal enjoyment when
rightly used. The many, who live bet
Ter than others and enjoy life more, with
less expenditure, by more promptly
adapting the worlds best products TO
the needs of physical being, will attest
the value to health of the pure liquid
laxative principles embraced in the
remedy, Syrup of Figs.
Its excellence is due to its presenting
in the form most acceptable and pleas
ant to the taste, the refreshing and truly
beneficial properties of a perfect lax
ative; effectually cleansing the system,
dispelling colds, headaches and feyers
and permanently curing constipation.
1t has given satisfaction to millions and
met with the approval Of the medical
profession, because it acts on the Kid
neys, Liver and Bowels without weak
ening them and it is perfectly free from
every Objectionable substance.
Syrup of Figs is for sale by all drug
gists in SOC and 81 bottles, but it is man
ufactured by the California Fig Syrup
Co. only, whose name is printed on every
package, also the name, Syrup of Figs,

THE END NEAR.
The Steering Committee Has a Com
promise bill in Hand.

On every hand in the Senate cham
Der at Washington may be heard
scraps of conversation among the Sem
ators relative to reported compro-
mise on the silver question and the
probable terms of the compromise
measure.
There is no doubt that this report
is substantially correct; yet there is a
slight obstruction somewhere which
renders the members of the commit
tee cautious about giving out the de-
tails. 1t is believed the President has
not yet expressed his approval of the
proposed substitute, and that there
are certain members Of the commit
tee and of the Senate who desire his
approval of the bin before committing
themselves absolutely to it.
1t may be stated explicitly, howev-
er, that the members Of the Senate on
both sides of the chamber without ex-
ception regard 1t as settled that
measure is IN course Of preparation at
the hands of the Democratic steering
committee, the terms of which, except
as to details, have been practically
agreed upon by the entire Democrat
ic side of the chamber. Senator
