DEMOCRATIC NOMINEE IN 1900.

The following is from Gretts, the
Houston Post staii correspondent
from Chicago, aud will no doubt
prove of interest to our readers:
l was handed letter written
this week by a very prominent
politician, residing in New York
City whose fight for bimetahsm two
years ago had not only made him a
very prominent figure in state
politics, but also resulted in his
withdrawal from the society kROwn
as "Tammany." 1t was written TO
a local bimetalist whose fame is
national, but who requested that
no names be given in connection
with the letter
Among other matters, the writer
says: you bimetalists out in the
great Middle West are doing great
work Keep it up and it will not
be long before the cheap politicians
Of Tammany hall will get in line or
hunt for cover, We can whip them
to death if good fight is put up
down here, but it may be best to let
them make their own path, and in
cidentally dig their own grave. Do
not attempt to placate, temperize
with or please them. Let this
Tammany Hall outfit understand
right in the beginning that they
can't swing democracy over to the
gold standard and you may per-
haps in the end, if you are firm,
gain their respect and also their
support for the regular nomiRee OF
our party in 1900. Nothing is to
be gained by recognizing them as
democrats, when they show by
their advocacy of the gold standard
that they belong to the class that
has been read out of the demcratic
party of everyone of its prominent
leaders.
'I now have the complete story
of the Dewey boom for president
Croker is behind it and is endeavor-
ing to pull Hearst in too. l gel
this from the inuer circle of the
inner temple of the Tammany
society. Notwithstanding Dewey
has declined a nomination they
are still at him, for they want t
kill off W. ], Bryan and the issue Of
bimetalism. LOOK out any day fol
a new boom for Dewey. In a wore
the opposition are getting desper

REV. SAM JONES
Came in Unexpectedly, but the News
Spread of His Being Here,
and Large COngrega-
tion Faced Him

Yesterday afternoon the Rev.
Sam Jones came here and stopped
over for the night, as be could not
catch the train he wished to
carry him north over the X. C, P.
& G. road:
Being an old friend of Rev. D. F.
C. Timmons, he repaired there, and
the two gentlemen, after confabing
d while, got down to business. Rev.
Timmons proposed to fill the church
so full at night that the cOngrega-
tion feet would stick out of the
windows, if his visitor would consent
to preach for him.
If there is anything that Rev.
Jones likes it is a large congrega-
tion to talk to, and he consented.
The telephone line was used and
many messages were sent to differ
ent parts of the city apprising the
people that Mr.. Jones would lecture
or talk at night. This news spread
like a two line notice in the Daily
Texarkanian would have done, and
by nightfall the people began to ill
the church, and long before the
organ pealed forth the first glad
anthem, people were turned baca
tor even the vestibule was filled, the
windows packed and every available
foot of floor space in the church
was utilized.
The Rev. Sam has lost none of
his fire and his congregation was
well pleased with his effort.
At the close of the service he
asked all who wished to lead bet
ter life to rise and many were those
who stood up.
He left this morning at 10 O'Clock
for DeQueen, where he will deliver
lecture. He will return to Texar
kama, Tuesday and will preacf
again for Bro. Timmons Tuesday
afternoon at $3.50 o'clock. He will
then take the 7:3O Cotton Belt train
for Missouri, Indiana aud Kentucky
points, and will wind up his lecture
tour at Fordsville, KY, next Satur
day night.

No wonder the legislature scores
Gov. Jones. The Llttle Rock
Tribune tells Of a big scandal as to
the letting of a penitentiary con
tract two years since, for the beue-
fit of some Of his family. In regard
to it a prominent attorney is thus
quoted: "It Is very simple. 1t means
that the Little Rock Excelsior
Works is to buy the product of the
plant at from S4.75 TO 1925 per ton,
and to guarantee the penitentiary
that the cottonwood from which the
excelsior Is made will not cost over
81 80 per cord. In ether words, the
excelsior people only agree to pay
S4.75 to S5.25 per ton for the entire
output OF the plant which, when it
is placed on the market is worth
anywhere from 50 to $l4 per ton.
They realize the difference between
the price they pay and the market
price without ever Touching a piece
of wood or a machine. 1t is a pretty
liberal contract"

Called to Preach.

Yesterday the congregation Of
the Maple street Presbyterian
church met and proceeded to elect
pastor for their church. Rev. j.
Z. Mcfarland, of Hillsboro, Texas,
was the only candidate and the
church called him to fill the place.
We learn he will commence filling
his ministration here on May /.
We are glad to know that Rev.
Mcfarland received an unanimous
call and hope he will please his con-
gregation aud become a fixture
here.

Col. Fordyce offers the people Of
Hot Springs rare opportunity to
get another railroad, and it should
be accepted with avidity. One
trouble is that city like Texarkana

been worked for bonuses in the past

turn. But this should not deter it

blows to the national honor and credit
Seville has never ceased from enjoying
herself one moment because war was
being waged and the national arms
being collected in huge allot-
ments after surrender One dav Of
sport is not enough for the people of the
famed old city in which to express their
gratitude for the return of the day of
resurrection. The whole month is barely
sufficient, but one must rest even from
fun. So with the end of April the fiestas
will cease for a time.
April was the opening day of the con-
tinuous performance in Seville Of
course nothing but bull fight would do
for beginner He who should fail in
providing such a commencement would
find his public vastly critical and the box
Office receipts small. So the affair opened
duly with a grand bull fight with the
celebrated stock of Don Carlos Otaolaur-
ruchi. The beasts received the thrusts
of the most famous Antonio Fuentes,
Emilio Torres and Antonio Monies in turn.
What better or more suspicious begin
ming could be had for month of revelry?

EASIER MONEY.
That Is the Outlook Says the New
York Efnancier.


York Ftnancier
NEW YORK, May Is.-The New York
Financier says tbs week:
AS was to have been expected the
bank statement for the current week
shows some heavy changes over previous
totals, but In the aggregate they were
not as heavy as the operations of the
week had led the financial world to ex
Feet. 1t had been anticipated that the
excess reserve would rise almost, if not
quite, Sl5,0OO,Goe, for, in addition to the
heavy liquidation due to stock exchange
business, the banks had gained something
IKE sl50O,O00 from the interior and the
treasury operations, involving as thew did
the payment of the Spanish indemnity.
mad made the banks creditor to the ex-
tent of S10,000000, or almost SIS 600 On0
counting that portion of the initial pay
ment not included in the statement of
May .. The gain In cash, however, as
reported Saturday, was only about S.
z5U,OO0 and the increase in deposits less
than $4,000 Co., There was a shrinkage in
loans of 1885, 100, and the effect of the
changes noted was to increase the surplus
reserve S7,7S5,675 Thus the statement
seems far out of balance, even from an
average standpoint But when It is taken
up In detail, some interesting facts are
disclosed. The National City bank as the
agent through which SPANS payment
was made, gained almost SIS, 500 coo in de-
posts, its cash increase was almost as
great, and its loan expansion about So
6QO000. This seems logical in view of the
known facts, and 1t is also apparent that
In the totals of the remaining banks
must be sought the changes that make the
statement confusing.
The result is not satisfactory. for the
real operations of the week do not coin
eide with the showing thus made. The
system of averages employed is doubt
less responsible for the discrepancy. and
1t Is also responsible for another fact
which gives an unfavorable tinge to the
exhibit. The reserve carried by all the
banks for the week ending MAY 13
equals % per cent of their deposits. AFT
against I'll for the previous week. II
the National City bank totals. including
the heavy gains, are separated, It becomes
apparent that the other banks in the
clearing house are carrying a reserve of
less than "a per cent, Indicating a more
restricted loaning power. AS a matter
Of fact the real condition of the banks
does not warrant this conclusion. The
outlook is rather toward easier money"
