TARIFF CHANGES.
Western Senators Continue to Secure
COncessi0ns.

Western Senators Continue to Secure
4. Concessions.
i Washington, April ga number OF
western republican senator's, more par
: ticularly those from the Rocky noun
tain states, have united in movement
!. TO make sure of securing certain con-
I cessions in the tariff bill which they
consider important to that section OF
the country. There have been several
/ informal conferences recently, but up
to date no conclusions have been
reached. The articles which the SEN
Z ators have especially in view are WOOL
hides. coal and lead ore. The tendency
is to ask. change in the portion OF the
wool schedule which relates to third
class woods. The probabilities are that
there will be demand for specific in.
stead of ad yalorem duties on WOODS OF
This class, and one western senator said
that he would not be satisfied with
& less than six cents per pound on any
1 wool.
y! There is quite a determined move
i ment among these senator's for duty
ION hides. The finance committee did
/. not at first manifest a disposition to
/. grant this concession, but the western
senators say they now find reason to
feel encouraged by the outlook. They
], probably will ask that the duty be fixed
J. at two cents per pound, but some OF
/ them appear willing to compromise at
AZ cents or even ono cent.
u There will be determined effort to
increase the rate on the lead contained
I in ore from one cent per pound, as fixed
/ by the Dingley bill as it passed the
!. house at ~ cents, and to change the
I language of the provision. This would
mean return to the Mckinley rate.
but the language of the Wilson law il
\ considered preferable to that of either
The Mckinley law or the Dingley bill.
81 There will be an effort also to prevent
any reduction of the house rates on
coal and lumber. The Wyoming and Col
I orado senator's are especially interested
in coal and the Oregon and Washing
ton senator's in lumber.
!! There are also many smaller items to
which the western senator's are giving
their attention. Some of them are in
clined to fear that. the bill may be made
to discriminate against western inter-
ests and desire to organize to prevent
s that result. Senator Chandler has au-
4 thorized the statement that the pas.
sage of the tariff bill might be endan-
gered If the pressure for high duties
continues.
~ Courts Need Funds.
81 Washington, April s.-Attorney-Gen'
cral McKenna has written letter to
the senate committee on appropriations
representing the necessity for an imme'
diate appropriation to meet the ex-
pcnses of the spring terms of the fed
crnl courts throughout the country.
He says that unless an appropriation is
made "the transaction Of business will
I be seriously embarrassed and tho

INVITE MEN AND MONEY.

Galveston News
The cotton mill at Dallas is ar
ranging to put on night force
so that the mill may keep up with
orders for goods. All along for
some years the mill has been
prosperous. These facts moved
Hon. Barnett Gibbs to say at a
meeting of the Dallas commercial
club that 'tDallas must have
something else besides Yankee
goods handled on a commission
to sell to the people of Texas,
Mexico and the Indian nation"
The same is true of any Texas
city. Yankee goods are all
right; so are those who sell them.
Texas merchants get on very
well with the northern business
connections, and will continue to
do so until they can do better for
themselves at home. No one
sees this any more clearly than
the northern merchant. Many
years will roll around before the
south will buy all its wants at
home, or near home. The day
of factories for Texas is coming,
just as tbs coming rapidly else
where in the south, and it is the
success of those now importation
that furnishes the proof of this
inevitable condition. The fact
that Dallas factory increases in
capacity by running night and
day is not so important as a
standard argument in favor of
factories as the fact that the con-
Germ has been prospecting year
after year. Trade increases or
Stacks up, and plans are made to
conform to the situation as it
arises. Just now the cotton mill
of Dallas, the packeries of Dali
las and Houston. and cotton seed
mills all over the state are over
taxed to supply orders. Here is
growth, expansion, the proof of
home demand and the
ability to supply some of this de-
mand, Ifsome is supplied, why
not all? Let capital at home take
note of this and keep northern
friends advised, who could con-
inue to build up their trade with !
the south by transferring their
capital here. 1t is enterprise
and capital and business expert
ence that we need, and northern
Yankee money, if you
please, is as good as any; better
when it brings with it years of
knowledge and experience;

HERE is an extremely en-
couraging item from the New
Orleans Times Democrat: "The
balance of trade in our favor still
continues favorable. If the ex-
cess of exports over imports for
the fiscal year ending June 80
was the greatest ever known, the
returns for August beat any
month in our history. The ex-
ports increased to $40, 000, 900 as
compared with 100000 for
the previous August; and the
were small, due to the
Dingley bill to some extent, the
result being balance in our
favor that is an excess of exports
over imports of $40, 953, 900, as
against S19,132,OOO last year.
This result is due, of course, to
the heavy demand for our cereals,
resulting from the shortness of
the European crop"

CoLEMAN's Rural World con.

CoLEMAN'S Rural World con-
tains this sensible bit of truism: :
''No other calling in the world
can show so large percentage
as farming, of those who acquire
modest competency, own good
homes and have an assured living
whether times are good or bad.
The trouble with disconnected
farmers is, that they contrast
their condition with the wrong
classes-with professional men,
who have spent more money on
education than would buy and
stock a good farm, or with mer-
chants and manufacturers, who
employ large capital and take
risks-instead of with men who
begin life with little or no capt.
tai, and must support their fami-
lies by labor. Every township.
in our older states will show far
mers who began life as farm
laborers, and at so years of age
were owners of good farms, with
comfortable, and in many cases,
elegant homes. Once a farm is
paid for, and the farmer has
learned to manage it, his future
is more secure than any other
calling.'

THE Cuero Star says g The
recent announcement that John
NJ. Logan, Of Smith county,
would be candidate for Comp
troller has caused no surprise
among those who know the ap-
petite of the East Texas politi-
.oian. Members of the "TyIer
gang" have been pretty steady
feeders at the pie counter for
years, and a campaign without
one or more of them on the ticket
would be an anomaly. By all
means let Logan run and keep
up the record. The Star is fully
aware of the good men East
Texas has produced, but does not
believe the public service would
suffer by drawing on some other
section for material occasion

CONGRESSMAN AMOS j. CUM
MINGs, as chairman of recent
New York city democratic con-
vention, in a speech used the
following strong and significant
language, which contains a
world of solid, wholesome truth :
e This is an age in which asso-
ciated wealth is marshaled, or
gained and equipped for NUM-
cipal, State and national control.
Gradually and stealthily it has
taken possession of the citadel,
seized upon all its approaches,
and now raises its brazen front
to terrify all who venture to
question its supremacy. Want,
if it does not obey its mandates,
is threatened with greater want.
Destitution, humiliation, and
finally death follow in its wake.
Millions in a day made by gov
eminent pawnbroker is hailed as
a great achievement, while hon.
est wages are deplored as an in
tolerable burden upon the saw
ings of the pawnbroker."

Houston, NaYasota and San Antonio Have
Become Infected Places.
Yellow jack has in a single day
crossed Galveston bay, followed
Buffalo Bayou to Houston and
from there jumped to the Alamo
city and doubled back on the re-
turn trip as. far as Navasota.
There are several cases at Hous-
ton and one death has occurred
at San Antonio.
The case at Navasota is that of
VIM. Sayler, who got sick while
attending the Galveston College
of medicine and was sent to the
city hospital. The lad didn't
like his surroundings and took
French leave on the first opportu-
nifty and struck out for his home
in Navasota. He and two or
three companions were captured
just outside of Navasota by the
quarantine guards and placed in
a camp of detention. A gentle
man who was here Tuesday from
Washington says that eleven
physicians of Navasota includ-
ing DR.. Ketohum admit that he
has a genuine case of yellow
fever.
By orders \ of Health Officer
Hynes, Central trains from the
East are not allowed to stop in
Washington county, and the
passenger Tuesday morning went
through at the rate of fifteen
miles an hour. One copy of the
Houston Post was thrown off by
the news boy, and there was a
scramble for the paper. Mr..
Thos. Dwyer read aloud to the
crowd and kept their curiosity
appeased to some extent. When
the Santa Fe passenger arrived a
fresh supply of Posts were fur
nished the news boys and they
rose to the occasion by raising
the price of the paper to 10 cents,
the papers going off like hot
cakes at this figure.
