 Never has such values been given in the dullest times on record. It has been a grand effort by wide awake merchants to force business. Never would a dollar go as far as now. Our forcfathers would be as much astonished to see the purchasing power of an American dollar to- day, as they would to see the numerous inventions since their time.

Cleveland has issued his orders
to the Senate committee on tariff
to let she Wilson schedule stand
but it is not certain THAT his de-
creps will be obeyed.
On to Velasco and give employ.
ment to an additional thousand
men in the shops and along the
| line and on the trains of a new
road.
San Antonio would like to point
with pride TO her San Pedro park,
but she finds it very difficult to do
so under existing circumstances.
The Republicans are not finding
much fault with Cleveland, for the
Democrats are doing that job to
the queens taste.

when it leans to the penitentiary,
as in the case of Boss McKane of
Coney Island.
Ingalls, is back number and it
is idle to try and bring him for
ward under Sam Jones' coat-tails.
If Cleveland could hoodoo the
Senate as easily as he does the
House it would be plain sailing.
On to Velasco and open the
trade Of this city to the best agri-
cultural section of the state.
On to Nelasco and let other
roads fight against the new line.
That is their business.
On to Velasco and give the idle
men in this city chance to earn
their bread and meat.
On to Velasco and give our mer-
chants the benefit of direct deep,
water connections.

Use us their trade.

FRIDAY, FEBRUARY %, 1894
NO FREETRADE WITH JOHN

The Globe Democrat banks its
ball clear outside the string when
it declares itself in favor of free
trade with Canada. There is not a
single reason that can be adduced
in favor of such an arrangement,
nor yet in favor of broadly con-
structed reciprocity treaty with
that country. Theslines upon which
such trade arrangements are profit
ably made are those of diverseness
in production, and not along the
parallels of similarity. There is
not a single product of the Cana
dian Dominion that does not come
into competition with the produc-
lions of the northern tier of states,
and as the supply Of these pro-
ducts in every way equal to the
demand there is no reason in
a protectiOnist journal advocating
the opening of the doors
to a trade that is to
disastrously affect home produc-
ton. The great staples of Canada
are lumber, salt, wheat, coal, meats,
livestock, dairy products, hay,
vegetables and the other agricul-
fural products of the upper tenn
.perate regions. These same pro-
auctions are the natural growths
of the United States. All along the
line of the great lakes and the St
Lawrence river and in the fal
northwest the American farmer is
growing exactly such products az
the Globe Democrat would admit
free of duty, to glut the home mar
ket and close out the industry o
millions of acres of our farming
lands. Such policy is to be ex
pected from a free trade source
but it reads strangely coming
from an apostle Of American pro
lection. The plea Of the Globe
Democrat for freetrade with Mex
co is plea of another sort, and 'ha
the logic Of consistency to supper
it. Mexico is so diverse from tn
southern states of this Union /
the bulk of her products that ther
is no question of ruined and d.
pleted home industries lying at til
door of trade relations with he
and it would doubtless be to tt
mutual advantage of both coul
tries to let down the bars and pc
init a free interchange of commoC
titles. The very reasons that are az
duced in support of freetrade rel
tions with Mexico are solidl
against Canadian interchanges.

1t is to be hoped that those Re-
publican wiseacres who imagine
that the road to party success in
Texas lies through the lane Of
Democratic fusion, have had
enough of that thoroughfare.
McKane was too pure a politi-
clan to stand David B. Hill and he
goes to the pen for his political
crookedness. There is something
fatal IN the opposition Of Hill,
Judging from the record.
The whiskey mills are running
full time and capacity in anticipa-
ton of the increased tax. This is
the most satisfaction that the old
Bourbon Democracy are likely to
get out of the situation.
Gladstone does not seem to have
as much fight in him as on some
former occasions. The dignity that
hedges in the British House Of
Lords seems to have had it's effect
upon the oCtOgenarian.
Some fool writer has been at.
lacking the military record Of
Gresham. That record is all right
and safe from successful attack,
while his record as Secretary Of
state is it's own attack.
Grover and his advisors will
haye been actively engaged in
destroying the industries Of the
country about a year before the
Senate's tariff committee will be
ready to report.
With the revenues of the state
three hundred thousand below ex-
penditures, and the teachers two

the prospect is not bright for the

A HEROIC LITTLE MAID.


General Forrest Protected From Federal
Bullets by Brave Guide.
BY way Of preface to the recitation Of
his poem, Tho Veterans of the South, Z"
at the Birmingham Confederate reunion,
Horny Clay l'airman, editor of The Sunny
South, related the following thrilling
story, given in the birmingham Age Her
aid as having been vouched for by General
\. B Forrest himself:
My authority" said the speaker, "is
Colonel John Goodo of Virginia. who re-
lated it to me and two others at Richmond
last May, with the remark that nobody
ever heard the general repeat the incident
without heart thrills and watery eyes.
Forrest rs the story goes, was glowing
under the conception Of one of those bold
and unexpected enterprises which have inn
murtalized him as a knight of the saddle
and cavalry captain of the first class.
Night was upon him, and a river was be.
fore him.
The blow must be struck at once, or the
opportunity of surprising the enemy would
be lost.
At the head of his eager and devoted
columns he stopped at the door of a log
cabin, and TO the poor woman who appeared
in answer to his call he said:
My good woman, want to ford the
river right away"
You can t do it, she answered. "It't
up."
A slender young girl came to the dooi
and said:
Il know where you can cross"
The mother frowned and interrupted:
NO he can't, child The rivers up,
tell you, and it's dangerous, dangerousr'
Forrest laughed at the strange word,
and the faces of his followers reflected his
invinciblc resolve.
The girl looked bravely at the general
and replied firmly;
Mother of course it's dangerousl But
know where he can get over"
Madam, " said the commander 81 am
General Forrest. Let your daughter &C
with me, III send her back safe and
sound"
The child rushed forward impetuously
and the anxious mother yielded.
General, I'll ride behind you" crieC
the girl and strong arms lifted her to he
place, and the column pressed forward
through the dark swamp under the guild
ance of the womanlike little maid.
BY paths she led them a mile or TIVE
down the river, and at length pointed ou
the place where the perilous attempt mus
be made, If made at all. Ordering his mel
to halt, Forrest rode in to test the ford.
The stream was rocky, roaring and tur
bulent, and when the hOrseman was nea
the middle he was fired upon by Fedora
pickets from the opposite banks, and be
fore the general could realize her purpos
the girl had risen to her feet on the hors
and sprang in front of him.
General" " she cried, clinging to hi
neck let me stay in front! If one of u
must die, let me diel The south canno
spare youl"

LAROR,S HOLIDAY
The Bill to Make 1t National Now Awaits
the Presidents signature.

WASHINGTON, June 27.-The very warm
weather and the uninteresting nature of
the proceedings in the house kept both
members and sightseers away yesterday,
and the chamber wore a somewhat de-
serted appearance. The deficiency bill oc.
cupied the greater part of the day. A
number of bills and resolutions were
passed in the morning hour, the most i'm.
portant being a senate bill to make Labor
Day a national holiday. The bill requires
but the signature of the president to be
come a law. The day set is the first Mon
day in September.
The senate spent another day debating
the income tax provisions of the tariff bill
without making perceptible progress.
Over five hours were devoted to the dis
cussiou of two amendments offered by
Senator Hill, the first to except the inter
est on state, county and municipal bonds,
and the second to exempt the interest on
state bonds from the operation of the tax.
The debate drifted into an exhaustive ex-
animation of the power of congress and
state rights. Three Democrats. Messrs
Gray, Pugh and Caffrey, sided with the
New York senator Both amendment.
were defeated, however.

Sam Pemberton, who had been In his

passed the captain plate of cheese, where
upon his wife became much agitated and

All who We're seated about the table were
curious TO know how 1t was that Mrs.

planned after this manner;

summoned and the soldiers charged upon
the mob. After a short conflict the rioters
were driven of. The consulate was then
occupied by the troops, and the prefect
made an apology TO the Italian consul
The riotous crowds then spread through
out the city and seized upon all the Ital-
ians, men, women and children, and took
them to the prefecture, believing that
they were to be expelled from the city.
The unfortunate Italians were guarded by
the police until the disorder had tempor-
Rrily subsded.
The two leaders of the attack upon the
Italian consulate were arrested yesterday
and this caused renewal of the disturb
ance, which was quelled by troops.
The mayor of Marseilles has issued an
address asking the citizens to refrain
from molesting Italians, but a strong
lnti-Italian feeling exists. Twenty-Five
Italians employed in enlsrging the st.
Cyr college have been dismissed In defer
ence to the wishes Of the other workmen.
Several building contractors have been
warned not to employ Italians.

single hill official could be found who could
pass the ordeal The jury evidently took
the same view of the case that has been
taken by our citizens generally-that the
prosecution was not in the interest of pure
politics BUT WAS INSTIGATED EN-
TIRELY BY MOTIVES OF REVENGE.
Every intelligent citizen knows that had
Mr.. Allen formed an alliance with Mr..
Rentz and had voted for the men and
measures that Messrs. Losch, Whitehouse
ct al, suggested and desired, not a word
would have been heard of prosecution and
persecution. The Chronicle is not in love
with Mr.. Allen or his methods but does
believe in justice Though the heavens fall.
