distinction conferred by several courts
of Europe; rich by the accomplish.

it is exceedingly hard to believe such

knowingly, to scheme TO swindle the
laborers or his own country of their

swindling of stupendeous nature

To repeal the Sherman silver
purchase law without enacting any
other law for The protection Of silver
would take away the only prop upon
which silver leans, and leave the
finances of this nation in the hands
exclusively of the gold bugs. Those
gentlemen in the house and senate
who voted in such way as to induce
the emssaries of Wall street to believe
they would vote for the repeal of the
law and thus leave silver wholly de.
monetized, will, 1t is believed have a
rocky road to travel when they under
take to explain TO their constituents
their motives for SO voting. A demo
cratic congress can't repeal that bill
without, at the same time, giving
silver better prop, unless they pro
pose to break faith with the people
who placed them in power, and this
they can't afford to do.

The Commercial Club of Waco

The Commercial Club of Waco,
Texas.
/. 1t should have ONE OBJECT, the
Retail Trade Business of Waco, auo
stick to that OBJECT.
2. 1t should first remove any objec.
ton or hiudrances to Waco's retail
trade.
3. 1t should do all it could to
encourage and promote the retail
trade
4. 1t should show the farmers that
we feel kindly and friendly to them
and WANT THEIR TRADE. The FREE
wagon yard would help do this.
5. We could have the FREE WATER
man remarked to the writer, "you
have neither FREE streets nor EREE
water" nothing is FREE.
6. We could see that FAIR treat
ment is given to the settler in the
WEIGHTS and figures on his cotton.
7. We could ask and we believe
secure half rate excursion from 40 t
80 miles from Waco on all lines once
or twice each way week. Tbi:
would bring trade to Waco.
s. We could make known the ad
vantages Waco merchants offer to the
trade.
9. We eau at least offer frie ndly
invitation to everybody. The Waco
Trading Company arc making very
low prices on mattipgs, carpets and
parlor goods.

The citizens of Waco will have an
opportunity at the polls to determine
whether they want board of trus ees
elected as such by the people for tt G
city schools or whether they want them
controlled by school board appointed
by the mayor out Ct the council. There
is but little doubt but what they will
decide on electing the school trustees

higgins on Excursions.

Why can we not have half rate ex.
cursions into Waco from forty or fifty
miles FROM US!
Suppose each railroad coming into
Waco be asked to give US one excur-
sion each week from each way coming
into Waco, These excursions would
get the people into the habit OF
coming to Waco. They would become
identified with our fine water, our
better stocks Of goods, our cheaper
prices and become acquainted with
our merchants.
let us organize a commercial club
and try what can be done,
Let US work tor Waco. Here is the
outstretched hand Of Waco Trading
Company, now grasped by nearly
5000 customers.
With better facilities offered all the
time to these people,
Furniture, c,rpets and stoves. Cash

The defeat of the Worlds Fair

her time and energy and thought to
the subject and whose heart was set

and did her best to hide the chagrin
and disappointment which despite her
forts would crawl up and peer out at
her eyes, or play hide and seek about
the corners OF her mouth.
To others the failure of this bill is
disappointment, but to Mrs. Tobin
it is personal grief.

Washington, D. c., accompanied
by J. A. Campbell, james Oonley

Colonel Jenkins of Iowa, arrived
in the city and took rooms at

day night of last week. The
next morning they took carriages
and drove to Kamei to interview
the Indians and secure, if posi-.
BILE, their signatures to treaty
for the unalloted portion of the
Nez Perez reservation. After
several days of hard work they
returned and reported their trip
in vain.
Monday morning. they return.
ed to Lewiston believing that
their work had been fruitless.
Wednesday word reached Cot.
tonwood that the KamG Indians
had repented of their obstinacy
and had sent an Indian police to
have the commissioners return.
as they were all willing to sub.
nit to the terms proposed. II
now looks as if we cah expect
speedy opening of the reserva-
ton, as we were informed that
the necessary number Of sigma
lures can be secured if the Kam-
els affiliate.
With this reservation thrown
open we can expect the grandest
influx of immigration that Ida.
no county has ever seen.
The commissioners inform the
REPORT that much of the diff
Guilty they have encountered was
owing to a few influential Indi-
ans who were either bought up
by outside money or were owners
of large bands Of stock and We're
working from personal motives.
