fiogR-Bailey Wnr ON Again.

Dallas, Tex. Aug. 1.-THE. old
political war between former Gov.
Hogg and Congressman Bailey Ia on
again, this time more bitter than
ever. 1t is scheduled to be fought
to finish in the State Democratic
convention at Waco this week.
Hogg and his followers have attack
ed Bailey on the claim that he ad-
vised Attorney. General Smith and
Secretary of State Hardy to permit
the Waters-Pierce Oil company to
resume business in Texas under its
recent reorganization, after having
lost its suit against the Texas anti
trust law in the supreme court of
the United States. They are also
trying to question the propriety of
the transaction by which Bailey
bought the Hon. Barnett Gibbs
Grapevine Prairie ranch, the insinu-
alton being that oil magnates made
him a present of the property for
services rendered.
Mr.. Bailey was in conference with
close political friends in Dallas this
evening, and departed tonight for
Waco. He was in an aggressive
frame of mind. He declared that
his enemies must face him in open
convention; that they had attacked
his honor and his official integrity,
and that he or they must stand or
fall by the record. Gov. Hogg and
others, 1t is said, have taken photo
graph of page of hotel register
at Austin for use at Waco. Bailey
is equipped for offensive and defen-
sive combat, and the fight promises
to be the most bitter yet known in
Texas democratic affairs.

A War of Two Cities

Guthrie, o. T., Aug. 7.-When the
census returns from Guthrie and
and Oklahoma City are made public
something is going to drop" in one
or. the other of these towns. The
newspapers of both places are stak-
ing their reputation for truth and ve-
racity that their respective towns
will show the greater population on
the face of the census returns. Guth-
rie and Oklahoma City have waged
a relentless war since April %, 1899,
the day the towns were establishe d.
From that time if either has ever
possessed an advantage of any ma
ture over the other, the "under"
town has been careful to conceal the
fact.
Another interesting point which it
will take the census figures to settle
is as to which of the rival towns pos
sesses the largest population of ne
gro voters. Oklahoma City has al
ways accused Guthrie of being a
'black town. but Frank Greer, who
speaks with authority upon subjects
pertaining to the Capital City, claims
to have official information that there
are eighty-five more negroes in Okla
homa City than in it's rival up the
road. Oklahoma City already is ac-
cusing Guthrie census takers of pad
ding the rolls, while Guthrie claims
that at Oklahoma City the counters
overlooked several negroes in max
ing their rounds,

f'The Kansas City PLATFORM says
Mr.. Bryan, to the Nebraska democrat
ic convention, declared one issue to
be paramount. / want you to go home
and present this truth, that when a
government once abandons the. doc
trine that it exists only by consent of
the governed it can continue to live
only by brute force"
Every true friend and supporter of
the democratic candidate will do as
Mr.. Bryan wishes in the matter. No
body but the republicans, assistant re-
publicans, or those who for some rea-
son. desire to divide and defeat the dem
ocratic party, will take the emphasis
from the paramount issue, to place it
on a secondary issue of little real
consequence or vitality in the present
campaign.
The place for every true and loyal
democrat at this crisis is to stand on
the democratic platform; accepting
as paramount the issue made para
mount by the march of events, and &C.
cepted as such by the democratic plat
form and the democratic candidates;
and declining to oe diverted or ann

PROFIT IN sK1P-BUILDING.
Those Engaged in the Industry in th q
United States Are said TO
BE Prospe ring.

That the shipyaras Of he country
lare IN asgenerally a prosperous con1ftion
is indicated by the fact that during
the last six months Of 1889 and the first
flour months of 1900 there was only one
failure among: firms operating plants
/ Of any magnitude. On the other hand,
says the Engineering Magazine, num-
Der OF shipbuilding ablishments
/ WhiehShad: been closed for some time
were reopened and there was scarcely
| one of the more prominent Institutions
which did not inaugurate enlargements
/ or improvements, these extensions
amounting in some instances to vir-
Etual doubling of fhe capacity of the
yard Most significant of all is the
fact that IN the interval mentioned
there were projected ten new ship
building corporations, which propose
to erect plants entailing outlays rang
ing all the way from $500, 900 to Sc 6,o0o,-
900. Some ofethese new projects are
already we'll advanced, and if all are
carried out on the lines mapped out
the aggregate expenditure will exceed
$50 100000.
I The contracts in the hands of the
American shipbuilders, afford an equal
| " satisfactory showing. There are
now building or under contract in the
shipyards of the United States mer-
camille and naval tonnage which rep
Iresents an aggregate value, exclusive
of the armors and armament for the
naval vessels, of 500, 100000. Of this to-
tai the naval vessels building for the
United States navy department foot

two Russian war vessels. building at

company, s5,8oo.o 900; the mercantile
vessels on the, Atlantic and Pacific
coasts, SIS. 600, COO; the mercantile yes
Isels on the great5lakes, 100000, and
the mercantile craft on the inland riv-
ers, S1,5oo, 900.
Comparing this showing with the
volume of business on land in the early
summer of 1899, we find distinct gain
of $7,000,000 in the value of contracts,
inasmuch as the commissions in the
hands of the builders at that time
amounted to approximately $62. 900, eco.
That the growth of the industry is,
moreover, even greater than evidenced
by these figures may be appreciated by
comparison of the sundry items which
go to make up each total. 1t will thus
be seen that whereas the volume of
nayaIwork fell off ss,ooo.ooo. without
taking into consideration the Russian
contracts, the value of the ships build
ing on the inland rivers was almost
doubled, the aggregate of contracts at
the great lakes yards was more than
trebled and the plants on the Atlantic
and Pacific coasts show an increase OF
many per cent. in the commissions on
their books.

MEAT FOR SOLDIERS.
Even In Warm Climates 1t Is the Ideal
and an Essential Ration
of an Ar1nv - 80.

-g afsE X ; 49, =
The received opinion" is thati in very
hot countries men should eat meat very
sparingly if at all, living instead on
vegeta bles and fruits. But Col. Charles
A.. Woodruff, u. S. A., an assistant com
missary general of subsist ence, boldly
challenges the correctness, of this opir-
ion, says the Hartford Courant. In an
essay on the ideal ration for an army
in the tropics he maintains that meat
is essential if the soldiers are to be
kept well nourished, He speaks highly
of beef on the hoof when obtainable un-
der the right conditions. but fairly
takes off his hat to bacon. In action
the composition of the ration is DOM
mated by military necessity he says,
| ssand here our component parts of ba-
con and hard bread, portable, palata-
bic, of great potential energy and need
ing no preparation, are unequaled.' .
With the bacon or beef and the hard
bread he would give our soldiers on
duty in tropical countries domestic
vegetables (fresh or dried !, dried fruits,
corn bread occasionally {if the cook
knows how to make it), fish for an oc-
casional change and tea or coffee. He
is inclined to think that in very hot re-
gions tea is preferable. 85
The colonel in his views on the meat
question is backed up by Capt. William
Stephenson, us. A., assistant surgeon,
who has been watching over the health
of soldiers for 16 years. My personal
experience of year in Tampa, Porto
Rico and Santiago" writes the captain,
"was that I craved and ate as much
meat of all kinds relatively to all food
eaten, as in cooler climates. I believe
that meat consumption among the ma
tives Of b OF conz tries is limited by their
purses, not their tastes. In Cuba and
Porto Rico T found the morning and
evening meals in private houses and
restaurants prodiga1 Of meat of all
kinds
Apparently the Army and Navy Jour
nal sides with these officers on the
meat question. ''When,o it says, ssa.in

Black nets, grenadines and eta
mines have for several summers past
usurped the place of black lace in
fashionable tavor for making of semi
! transparent black gowns. Where we
have seen a black lace model of re-
cent seasons, it has been one that was
exceptionally elegant and costly.
When black lace came to be as
common on the dusty ystreets as buckle
berries in a woodland meadow, the
rage for this beautiful style of dress
was over. 1t was everywhere in evil
dence, and often looked gray and
wrinkled, being made of tawdry Iaces
that quickly lost their silky finish.
This, of course, killed its popularity.
But at its best, and properly worn, it

M'KINLEY'S HYPOCRISY.
How the Republican Administrations
Has sLiberated" the FiIipinos
and Others.

In his speech of acceptance of the re-
publican nomination for president Mr..
Mckinley spoke eloquently of the re-
cent achievement of his administra ton
in the Philippines, resulting in the ''lib-
GRAFTON of 100000 of the human fam
ily from the yoke ,ofimperiahsm."
This would be noble thought for
iberty-loying Americans, were it
based on fact. It was, for just such an
achievement that 100000 of these lib
ertylloving Americans sprang to arms
in 1898 in response to the presidents
call for volunteers for the war with
Spain. That war was declared for the
express purpose of freeing Cubans.
1t made an irresistible appeal to all
true Americans. It promised to pre-
sent to the world. the grand spectacle
of q mighty republic rushing to the res
cue of little people oppressed by tyr
amy, and, having freed them, straight
way lifting them to national inde-
pendence of their own.
Two years have passed since this
humanitarian war for service in which
these 100000 iberty-loving Americans
were SO proud to volunteer, was fought
and won. In these two years Mr.. Nc
Kinley's administration hasfound time
and opportunity to do many things,
but it has found no time to free Cuba.
1t has, instead, esta blished a carpet
bag government in Cuba which has de-
voted it's efforts to the looting of that
already sorely afflicted island. It has
used, and is still using, all its influence
to bring about the annexation of Cuba
to the United States. 1t declared in
