/ Fort Worth Gazette:
The appeal of Mr.. Chas. a. Ed
wards, one of the assistant Secre-
! tarieS of the TranS-M iSSiSSippi
] Commercial congress, in behalf of
a strong Texas delegation to the
meeting of that body, to be held
at Ogden, Utah, April "A, next, is
commended to the attention of
boards of trade and other business
organizations throughout the state.
Fort Worth, respectfully, should have
as many delegates as her pOpula-
ton will permit. Matters of real
and vital interest are to be cOnsid-
cred, and, beside, no occasion
should be lost to impress upon the
outside world the growing impOr-
lance of this city, in relation to the
commerce and industry of north
and west Texas. That way lies
success.
New Orleans Item:
This Sunday decidedly ushers in
the outing season, if the numerous
excursions by rail, river and lake
routes that sped away in the
morning for awhile from the city's
glare and dust, can be considered a
fair criterion. The stay-at-hOmes
had no reason to complain of their
lot, for they had within easy reach
by convenient urban tamway lines
the choice between Audubon Park,
the Lower City Park and any one
of the attractive triOs of lacustrine
pleasure resorts.
Galveston News:
\ congressman has no more
right to look after Indian or other
claims as attorney for one of his
constituents while acting as law
maker for the people than rail
road lawyer in the Legislature
would have to legislate in the es-
pecial interest of his client. Mark
the prediction: Some OdOrOuS
scandals are going to grow out of
the practices of congressman and
senators who are plying their
lucrative public offices in the in
terest of their client claimants and
themselves.
Texas Home Corner:
The IcOnOclast has declared war
on the saloons, and the gallant
colonel who does the pencil push
ing on that paper, announces that
it is war to the knife and the knife
to the hilt. There is certainly a
great deal of truth in what the
IcOnOclaSt says, but the Home Cor
ner has seen Mrs. PartingtOn try to
mop up the Atlantic before, and
while the effort is no doubt praise
worthy, it is 50 hopeless that the
Home Corner would advise her to
save her strengthened her mop.
VelaSco Times.
The answer of the Galveston
News to the letter Of Charles \.
Edwards criticising it for giving
Galveston credit for all exports
from Nelasco during the past sea-
son develops a most extraordinary
method of doing business on the
part of the general government
through its custom house, if what
the News says is true. 1t simply
gives the part of entry where the
custom house and the collector of
the district are located, the right
to claim the credit for every ton of
export business shipped from
every support in the collectors
district, and the supports eXis-
tence is practically ignored.

ever, that he was right, that he was anx-
ious to set before the United States su-
preme court, so that, apparently, he could
teach the judge of the federal court at
Charleston lesson. He got into the SUI
preme court. and he got lesson. He has
found out that. though he may know
good deal about managing political cam
paien, he has a great deal to learn about
the powers of the federal courts.
And the supreme court does not seem to
have taken a great deal of time to reach
a tDutiuSfDu Dis 10 the merits OF JLle case
that the governor had presented to it.
The principles involved appear to have
been pretty well settled for a long time.
A little searching of the precedents would
have convinced the governor and his legal
advisers that it would be a waste of time
and of the states money to try to collect
from railroads that were in the hands of
receivers taxes that were in dispute by
grabbing the property of the roads,
A bold, aggressive policy, even if it is
not in harmony with well accepted legal
principles, may win sometimes, but not
always Gov. Tillman now knows that
there are limitations to his power. The
summary way in which he undertook to
enforce his will in the matter of the dis
puted railroad taxes excited the admira-
ton Of his followers and made him some
thing of a hero in their estimation for
awhile, but the check he has received
will be apt to modify greatly their esti-
mate of his ability to do just about as he

An Uneasy Feeling in Honolulu.

The uncertainty as to the kind of gov
eminent that is to be established in
| Hawaii is breeding discomfort among the
Hawaiians. The different factions are
beginning to plot for the control of the
islands, and, unless this government
comes to a decision soon as to what
course it purposes to pursue in Hawaiian
affairs, serious disturbances may take
place. Already the little army of the
provisional government has been given
dose of poison, and it is represented that
those who favor the restoration of the
deposed queen are predicting that it will
not be long before the condition Of affairs
that existed prior to the revolution will
be re-established.
Very naturally business at Honolulu
has come almost to a standstill. Few are
disposed to engage in business ventures or
enterprises of any kind while the uncer-
tainty lasts. Among so many idle people
it is a comparatively easy matter to sow
the seeds of discomfort.
Commissioner Blount is extremely
reticent. The character of his mission
has not yet been discovered. If he has
to the protectorate that was established
by Minister Stevens the fact has not
found its way into the dispatches. 1t may
be that he is trying to find out who
brought about the revolution and whether
the provisional government has a sufti-
Gent support to Justify an effort to estab-
lish a government altogether different
from that which existed prior to the rev.
olution If that is the kind of informa-
tion he wants it ought not TO take him
very long to get it.
1t certainly looks as if there would be
troublous times in Hawaii if some def
mite action looking to a settlement is not
taken soon. There are hundreds of ad-
venturers there actively engaged in try
ing to complicate the situation. They be-
lieve the more trouble there is the better
their chances of improving their fortunes

also heard the hoarse cry of the husband

The Republican party is remiss in it's
duty toward those colored squatters at
James City, n. c. They were settled upon
land belonging to somebody else by fed
eral army officers who told them the land
was to become their own. They were in
nocent enough to believe the army owned
the earth and could apportion it at pleas
ure, and they looked to the Republican
party to see that their rights of owner
ship We're not encroached upon after
ward. And the party has always taught
them to regard it as their protector. Now
the proper thing for the Republican party
TO do, inasmuch as the courts have de-
cided that the squatters are trespassers
and must be removed, is to buy the land
In question and make it a present to the
squatters. But that the party will not

An Indian Woman of Waycross Who
Has Strange History.
Waycross, Ga, April 25.-Lnvenia Pol
lard, an Indian woman of the Cherokee
tribe, who has been a resident of this
city twelve years, is preparing to make
application to the United States govern
ment for pension. She is now 65 years
old. She was stolen from her parents
while child and was sold as a slave to a
white man named Keeton, at Albany Ga.
Recently an Indian, who said he was en-
ployed by the government, called to see
her, and he smelt her hand, saying
pure, no mix in this. Pure Cherokee. -
He told her she could get a pension from
the government. Luvenia is an Indian
doctor. Her medicines are prepared by
herself from certain herbs in the swamps.
She is also fortune teller. During
the late war she told her
master, who was home on a
furlough, that he must go to Jacksonville
that morning as the yankees would capt
ure him that night Her powers as a
fortune teller were well known to him and
he left Immediately. At 9 O'Clock that
night the yankees crowded around the
door of the house and inquired for her
master She showed them her mistress
and asked them to search the place. She
has husband and four grandchildren,
her only daughter having died and left
the children in her care. The eagle eyes
of the old woman and the Cherokee skin
and nimble actions will prove to the gov
eminent that she is full-blooded Indian

That Promised genza+ioo

The public was under the impression
that Mr.. Oakman> the president. and Mr..
Rutherford, the vice president, of the
Richmond Terminal, and their attorney,
Mr.. Crawford, came here for the purpose
of developing big sensation by examin-
ing into the affairs of the Central
railroad since Mr.. Conner became receiver.
The public has been disappointed No
sensation'w was developed. Mr. Crawford S
questions were promptly answered by Re
ceiver Conner He told without hesita
ton what had been done with the money
that had been borrowed for the Central
and explained all the contracts he has
entered into since he became receiver.
1t was apparent from Mr. Corners an
swers that in all that has been done the
CentraIs interests have been kept stead
lily in view as well as the interests of the
security holders.
1t was the purpose of the Richmond
Terminal people TO examine Mr. Cunning
ham, the cashier of the Central Rail
| road Bank, but it was abandoned. 1t
was clear that there was no desire to
hide anything. and that nothing had been
! done to WHICH any exception could be
reasonably taken. There were no sen
sational developments and there is not
/ likely to be any at any future time if MIR.

The white house at Washington, under

and he does his work there under adverse
circumstances. Iu so far it is his office.
His wife and child arc there and he takes
his meals under the same roof. And in so
far the place is his home But the white
