at seems to me-" said an officer
at the post to LIGHT man, "that
the local papers, and indeed those
of the state, are far too silent upon
an important question that vitality
interests San Antonio and is Of
paramount Importance to Texas.
That is, the attempt Of Georgia, by
her Congressman, to create de-
partment of the south, for military
purposes, with headquarters in
Atlanta, Ga. Georgia congress-
men, and their allies, are pushing
this matter but our Texas con-
gressmen are silent and apathetic
on this-to us-important question
and need stirring up with the
sharp prod of public censure. If
Georgia succeeds in her project it
will abolish the department Of
Texas, obliterate or stultify
Fort Sam Houston, Of San
Antonio, and practically nultify
military service in Texas. The de-
partment of Texas is a most i'm
portant one for 1t guards the
Rio Grande border of the skate,
there is no unfriendly feeling be-
tween this country and Mexico,
indeed am glad to see fraternal
feeling that exist, but there may
be, and then, as has been, the Mex
lean border guarded by practical
men is safe from invasion and
ready for defence. 1t is also ready
to inforce the law, and to preserve
the integrity of the state.
Fort Sam Houston has been re-
garded as an important strategic
post, and among it's commanders
have been Generals Worth, Twiggs,
Albert Sidney Johnston, Robert E.
Lee, c. G. Augur, d. s. Stanley, o.
G. Ord, r. S. Macdenzie and now
we have General Frank G. Wheat
on. The military and civilians
have always fraternized together,
have been the source of mu-
tual pleasure, and the abolition
OF the post here would be a source
of mutual regret. Then again it
would mean the loss of thousands
of dollars spent annually here by
officers and privates.
Texas has not now sufficient de-
fence, for outside of San Antonio
aud the new Fort Bliss it has no
decent post. Yet Atlanta proposed
to have a magnificent post where
none can be of service, and heavy
appropriations are made for SINH
lar buildings at unnecessary points
and none for Texas, where they are
really needed. This matter de-
mands the attention of citizens,
and congressman should be urged
to watch better over the constitu-
ents' interests.
The officer referred to, since
making the statement, has learned
by telegram from General Scho-
field, that the war department does
not contemplate the abandonment
of the department of Texas, but it
is possible that the Eastern di-
vision, now extending from Maine
to Florida, may be divided into
two sections, and in that case the
southern section would probably
have its headquarters located in
Atlanta, Ga.

Interesting Firearms Patent Case


BRUSSELS, March 14.-The suit
of Colonel Lee, an American in
ventor of firearms, against Herr
Won Mannlicher, whose rifle is in
use in the German army, reopened
today. Col. Lee brought suit against
Herr Won Mannlicher in 1891,
claiming that the Mannlicher gun
was an infringement upon patents
of his own. Owing to the refusal Of
Colonel Lee to pay the required Sc
curity to carry on the suit, the &C
ton was dropped. Last No
vember, at the instance of
Colonel Lee, many large seizures
were made in the Belgian fire.
arms factories and the establish
ments of private dealers in arms,
which, Colonel Lee claimed, were
equipped with the mechanism Of
his invention. Subsequently
Colonel Lee discovered, in a gun
factory at Liege, MannliCher guns
having similar mechanical devices,
and upon this evidence he was
brought a fresh action against
MannliCher.
If Colonel Lee wins his suit
against Herr Won Mannlicher it is
his intention, so he declares, to
bring action against the various
European States using the Mann
licher gun and the inventors and
manufacturers who have made the
weapon.

The Washington times., 1894-04-29

To the Editor of THE TIMER:
The timid people of Washington, among whom
may be reckoned many legislators, and possibly
some of our newspapers, are much exercised
over the approach of Mr.. Coxey and his bands of
the commonweal All reports show that these
men are coming from every point OF the compass
to the natonacenter of legislation TO present cer
tain subjects TO the consideration of the lawmak-
ing power They bear no arms; they make no
threats; they but ask the common right OF petit
ton All disreputable and suspicious char
acters are rigidly excluded from their ranks,
and yet there seems much constornation as
when Lee marched over the mountain wall An
invasion of these unarmed meand inotfensive
ped estrians might possibly cause some twinges
in the pocket nerve OF those who fear that the
subsistence of this peaceful army may trench
upon their larder, but why their anticipated
presence should cause mighty drills of the ma
tionll guard, proclamation by the District Com
missioners, the storing of arms in the Treasury
building, the stationing OF additional guards ut
the Capitol, and the many precautions and
trembling suggestions which have been heard in
the last few days is beyond, calm and ordinary
comprehension
Before this phantom appeared on the horizon
war talk without any perceptible occasion
abounded. Blood drinkers and freeaters were
looking for difficulties with distant or dimnutive
nations, and the late unpleasantness was re-
viewed and refought on every conceivable op-
portunity. This was the only city in the Union
where the war had not ended. But a change has
come over the spirit of our dream Washington
and the government and the people living
thereby are scared-badly scared. Why they
should be they can possibly explain to their sat
isfaction, but they will find it difficult 10 justify
their fears to men of common sense and ord-
nary courage. 1t is disgraceful and inexcGsaOle
cowardice.
There is far more danger to the republic from
the delegations of bankers or representatives of
protected monopolies who come here to lobby in
the halls OF Congress for further extensions Of
their privileges than in many thousands of
Coxey's follow ers. Let him come and offer what
he thinks Is a remedy for these troubous and
n,,ts to Iaf1

Giving the Coxeyites Work

To the Editor of THE TINES:
The best way to meet the Coxey emergency
would be to offer the men employment at good
wages and this might be done so as to greatly
benefit our city by the passage of bill about as
follows:
"Be il enacted, etc, That the Commissioners
of the District of Columbia hereby directed
to employ all capable per sons who apply for
such employment, for eight hours per day, at
81 so or more per day, in opening up and i'm
proving the public highways of the District of
Columbia in accordance with such plan the
Commissioners shall approve. and TO buy or hire
such materials. tools, and machinery a. may be
necessary to that end
..Sec q That an annual tax is hereby laid on
all lands in the District of Columbia at the rate
of 80 per ceptum of the annual rental value of
each piece or parcel of said land, exclusive of
any value due 60 any improvements thereon,
and said tax shall be due and payable on the
1st day of May of each year hereafter.
..Sec 3 That the Commissioners are hereby
directed, If necessary, to issue notes in payment
for said wages and materials, said notes to be
redeemable one year after day, without in
terest, from the proceeds of said tax, and to be
receivable in payment of said tax"
am convinced that the prompt passage of
such measure would allay any danger that
now threatens, would make our city the most
beautiful in the world, would double our popu-
lation inside of two years, would make wages
prosperity, would make our wage-woIkers pros
porous, independent, and happy, and, finally,
would solve two problems in economics and
finance about which there is dispute, and point
the way to the greatest advance toward higher
nobler, and better civilization than the world
has ever dreamed Of
We have en- emergency to meet, and We must
meet IT, or take the consequences

A WORD TO WOMEN
Is This Your Picture?

You who are so familiar with the agonies
Of life and the barbaric treatment OF the
speculum and caustic-rings and pessaries-
also nauseous compounds that derange the
stomach and weaken the nervous system;
you who suffer so long and patiently those
aches and pains In the head, back, sides,
limbs and stomach, constipation, dyspepsia,
hemorrhoids, nervous prostration. sleepless
and restless nights, neuralgia, tumors, leu
corrhpa, tired and exhausted feelings. es-
pecially in the morning, periodic pains,
Irregularities, falling of the womb, bearing
down pains and unable to be on the feet long
without suffering, liberation and misplace
ments, the pale and wrinkled face and sallow
skin, cold feet, deranged kidneys. hacking
cough, and many other symptoms dependent
upon uterine and ovarian diseases-you are
the one we especially invite to call and the
one who should be the most interested and
thankful for any method that cures without
the unpleasantness and expensive use OF the
speculum, the painful and dangerous use Of
the caustic applied, and the other time-dis-
honored methods Of treatment which have
proved so unavailing in the past. BY the
use OF our magnetic treatment and remedies
prepared to meet the requirements of each
individual case, which radically cures all
diseases OF this nature, cancers, tumors, and
all glandular swellings and enlargements are
removed without pain or the use OF the
knife. DR.. Damon is specialist in the
diseases OF women, and his record OF actual
cures OF long standing and difficult cases is
indeed something to be proud OF. He is per-
manently located at COS Twelfth street north
west, second door from T street.
Remember. DIR. Damon is a regular gradu-
ate of medicine and duly registered, thus
making him fully capable of doing all that any
physician can with medicine alone; added to
this the fact that he and associate are endowed
with the magnetic power to cure makes them
doubly competent over all others to cope with
disease. Do not listen to the idle talk Of
selfish or prejudiced people, who do not wish
you to get well. DR.. Damon has publicly
demonstrated his ability to cure by treating
nearly 1000 poor, helpless sufferers at Build
ers Exchange hall. every one Of whom had
tried other physicians and methods and failed.
This is the reason physicians who are jealous
of his success will tell you there is nothing in
magnetism and advise you to keep away.
The greatest thorn in the flesh of an un-
successful physician Is the fact that patient,
upon whom he has experimental for months
and years and utterly failed, goes to
specialist of a different school and finds relief
and a permanent cure. OF course. such mar
row-minded and bigoted men would advise
you against your own interests. One fact for
every invalid to remember is this: DIR. Damon
can show more testimonials of actual cures in
this city than any ten physicians OF the Dis
trict. and every cure represents person who
has been treated months and years by others
before applying to him for relief. These are
facts for the honest seeker after health to
ponder over.
