Judge J. NJ. Moore of Fort Worth
was at Adstin a few days since, and
being asked by SanAntonio Express
reporter about the PopuIsts, said:
How about the Populists? Well,
l don't know exectly. but they are
making great claims of increasing
strength. and I believe them to be
based on facts to a large extent. l
was out in a western county a short
time ago and many of my friends out
there whom | have known as Demo-
Gratis heretofore told me that they
were now affiliating with the Third
party.
The last general elections we're not
nearly so disastrous to the Third party
as some people would make out. In
Virginia, for instance, the Democrats
have nothing to brag about, as their
victory was the result of a coalition
with the Republicans and q purchase
of the negro vote. To my mind, the
only salvation for the Democrats in
this state pext year is to purchase,
bulldoze or miscount the negro vote.
And even this would be of no avail if
the Republicans and Populists should
succeed in forming an alliance for the
state campaign. 1t is my honest be-
lief that a majority of the native born
American population in Texas is at
present inside of the Third party; the
German population is mostly Repub-
lican, as they are very conservative as
class and usually in good circun-
stances and don't take to the financial
ideas which distinguish the Populists;
the negroes and Mexicans are with the
side that has the most stuff.
mo, | don't think that the Hogg
people will succeed in absorbing the
Populists. The latter have learned
that they can't trust Hogg or his fol-
lowers. Hogg is one of that kind of
Populists who believe in keeping the
name of Democrat for expediency.
The Populists have practically nomi-
mated and elected him twice, but are
now shy of him. He didn't come up
to their expectations. The first time
it was the Alliance. the Greenback
and the Independent element that nom
mated and elected him. Last wear
the Third party people, who are moth
ing but the former under another
name, went to the primaries and
brought about his nomination. Later
they nominated Nugent on their own
hook. and there We're enough of them
to elect him, but at least 10000 of
them weakened at the last and voted
for Hogg for fear of George Clark
Many Hogg emisaries. claiming to be
Nugent men, went around short
time before election and scared some
Of the weaker brethren into voting for
Hogg by telling them that there was

UTAH AND STATEHOOD.
Tho Bill for Admission Reported FavOraDly but
Goes Over Under The Rule.
THE 1oaRY BANKRUPTCY BILL KILLED
the Bill Repeating the State Bank Tax
Reported FaVorably.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 9.-There was a
faint effort made by the Democrats in
the house yesterday to admit Utah as
a state. The bill from the committee
on territories, reported favorsbly by
kilgore as one of the committee, was
called up in what is known as the
morning hour. The Republicans be-
gan at once to filibuster. AS usual
the Democrats had no quorum and the
Republicans had an easy task. They
alibustered out the morning hour and
the bill had to go over. A rather re-
markable incident was connected with
this. just about the time the morn
ing hour expired and the Republicans
were victorious, a delegation of Utah
Republicans appeared upon the scene
as advocates of admission of the ter
ritory. They called out Mr.. Reed and
informed him that the Republicans OF
the house must not oppose such ad-
mission.

WAsHINGToN, Dec, 6.-The free
coinage men of the house do not see
any silver lining in the message of
President Cleveland. They exhibited
some disappointment, not for publica-
ton, but as expressing their belief
that the president did not care to see
any legislation looking to the remon-
etization of silver. They said
that the suggestion about an
international conference was vague
and that it indicated that there was
not much apparent desire on the
part of the administration to have the
question considered at an early day.
In talking to such members of con-
gress as claimed to be free silver men,
but who voted to repeal the Sherman
law, the free coinage men said that it
was a fulfllment of what they pre-
dicted at the time. that the uncondi-
tional repeal of the Sherman law
meant that there would be no more
silver legislation during this congress
and that it was not intended that
there should be any during the pres
ent administration.

Mechanically speaking, it is on a

to know that if the poker and tongs

much would the fender cost? If any

daughter. Eliza buys 90 yards less
than Mrs. A; Anne buys / yards less
than Mrs. BE- and Jane is the name
OF the third daughter. Assign to each
mother her own daughter. "

Coz George Washington Jones OF
Bastrop, while at Waco recently at
tending United States court, was
asked some questions by Dallas News
reporter as follows:
''Do you like the shape events are
taking. colonel?n the reporter in
quired.
Il like everything except the re-
tarding agencies, Col. Jones replied.
'From the beginning events have
moved in the right direction as to
general tendency. Every day brings
US nearer to the sound money issue. -
What is sound money, colOnel?''
money issued by the government,
bearing its fiat. Money is only money
by permission of the government,
without any regard to its material.
Money only means an article receiv-
able by the government in payment OF
its taxes"
Would government issue indie
pendent of gold basis circulate in
foreign Countries"
1T would not. No foreign money
can circulate in any country. When
it leaves home it departs from the
money and becomes part Of the
commercial volume. This is the case
whether the stamp of the government
be placed on gold or silver CT paper. -
But if paper is the money il could
not join the commercial volume" the
reporter ventured.
well, it would be money. working
Ia the circulation, etfecting its ends,
and it would serve all the purposes of
money. Gold and silver will always
be in commerce and can always be
employed, as far as they will 90, for
money. The money volume must be
Increased to the needs of the people,
and the day is coming when that will
be the case.
DO you favor free and unlimited
coinage of silver"
public sentiment is formulating on
silver. and it will turn to greenbacks.
Paper bearing the fiat of the govern
nent is the coming money, and it will
be honest money. All money of every
nation is fiat money Without the fat

commo lily. light weight or heavy
weight, aud silver the same. Neither
OF them is money without the fat.
after which they bring 100 cents on
the dollar. Make paper money bear
ing the fiat of the government receiv-
able for all dues and that will end the
vexations and give the people rest. -
What shout the tariff?'
..Oh, the everlasting tariff! That is
the great delayer. Let the tariff
alone. Let it be an after considera-
ton. The tariff question should not
be raised until the people have enough
money, and honest money. Not money
because of the fiat of Wall street, but
money by the grace of the govern
ment. The tariff is good enough as it
is. ! believe, however. that by means
of tariff agitation the great question
OF money can be held in allegiance, but
in the end, and before many years,
the true principles enunciated by the
fiat partv will prevail

When one says of anything that it

floor with rushes. When guests of

WASHINGTON, Dec. 4.-The follow
ing is a synopsis of the seventh an
nual report of the interstate com
merce commission. Attention is call
ed to the peculiar Office of common
carriers and the dependence of every
occupation upon their facilities, the
right of every person to receive just
and equal treatment in all that per-
tains tc public transportation and the
paramount purpose of regulating enact
ments to secure to the people the
actual enjoyment of this right.
There must be a common public rate
prima facie Just and reasonable,
which measures the lawful charges
of the carrier. The enactment of the
long and short haul clause was deemed
a public necessity. The commission
recommends additional legislation on
the following subjects:
l. With respect to proceedings to
enforce the lawful orders of the com
mission.
?. To give legislative construction
10 the word Line in the statute.
s. To provide for establishing
through routes and joint through
rates.
4. To give the commission power to
prorate to competitive points.
8. To provide for the adoption OF
uniform freight classification.
6. To make to the corporation sub
loot 70 tho 10. liab1o ., ;,5;,,,,,-,,- .
for violation of the law.
7. To provide a penalty for the
failure on the part of carriers 10 file
their annual reports within a speci-
fed time.
The commission also calls the a.
teution of congress to the subjects
generally considered in the body OF
the report, and the suggestions
therein made with a view to further
extension of the act by additional
amendments.
