Big resourceful Texas is famed for
its great undertakings. The newest
and brightest star which has shot
athwart its horizon is the wonderful
town of La Porte, located on Calves
ton Bay midway between Houston and
Galveston in the celebrated Coast
Country of Texas. A happy trinity OF
pluck, brains and capital is here found
at work building up a great deepwater
seaport city. Extensive public work is
under way including wharfs. docks and
water front shipping facilities. The
u. s.. Government is soon to deepen
the channel, thus enabling the largest
ocean vessels to receive and discharge
argoe at La Porte.

The readers of this paper will be pleased to
learn that there is at least one dreaded disease
that science has been able to cure In all its
stages, and that is Catarrh. Halls Catarrh
Cure is the only positive cure now known to the
medical fraternity. Catarrh being a constitu-
tional disease, requires a constitutional treat
ment. Halls Catarrh Cure is taken internally,
acting directly upon the blood and mucous sur
faces of the system. thereby destroying the
foundation of the disease, and giving the patient
strength by building up the constitution and
prietors have so much faith in its curative
powers that they offer One Hundred Dollars for
testimonials.

The free traders think thai they are
kicking the high beam of humor when
they say that p-rotectionists lake to
themselves and to the policy which
they support the credit for the blessing
of abundant crops. By their so-called
Joking" along this line they hope to
distract attention from the very plain
and important fact that, although the
protective tariff does no take the place
of Providence and cause abundant
crops to grow, it does make the gifts
of Providence of some value by fur
nishing a market and a fair price for
the farmers crops, however abundant.
In free trade days many western farm
ers, for lack of an Opportunity to sell
their corn at even a decent price, were
forced to burn it as firewood in order
to get any benefit from it. They had
corn to burn. Today. as always in
protective times, they sell their prod
ucts at a fair price, and have money
to burn" Good crops and no market
for them means tantalizing diasppoint-
ment. That is what Tree trade brings
to the farmer. Good crops with a good
market, a ready sale and fair prices
mean prosperity. That is what pro-
lection gives the farmer. He may
choose between the two. The choice
ought to be an cas- one, and there is
little chance that the western farmers
will have any hesitation in making
their decision. They have given con
siderable evidence that they think that
McKinleyism is good enough for them.

The signers of this declaration rep
resent a type of the average shrewd.
level-headed American citizen, who can
be fooled sometimes, as he was in 1892,
but not all the time, and who finally
sets his thinking apparatus to work
and figures things out for himself. 1t
was inevitable that as a result OF this
mental activity a change of political
prediction should occur. Such a
change has taken place, and is still go
ing on all wei the country. The year
1899 has been a wonderful eye-opener.

THREE DEMOCRATS
Thoroughly Disguised with Organism

Living in the same block in New
York city are three men who voted for
Bryan in 1896, but who now unite in
declaring that they have had their fill
of Organism and Tammanyism, and
will no longer train with a crowd that
seeks to belittle the country's grand
record of expansion. progress and pros
perity. These converts to Republican
ism write to the New York Sun as fol-
lows:

the undersigned. take great pleasure in
reading the brief but brave statement
of j. Maginnis in the Sun of Nov. %
regarding the level head of our pres
ident. William Mckinley, through all
the country's troubles since the begin
ming of the war with Spain and up to
the present time.
we are three Democrats, living in
the one block, and we all voted for
Bryan in 1896. But listening to the
Tammany snarling at ~ system of
government. at our progression, at our
successes during our late two years
wars and at our expansion. so nobly
acquired. and the doctrine of these
same ldihLhdny hdsquelhuelS' "a"
guised in the robes of independence,
liberty and freedom, are in our estima-
ton not safe for the country at large

condition of prosperity ever known,

gineer at the throttle?
But the cry is, the w~orkingman

the week which lead me TO believe that.
after all. John L. Riley, Of this city. will
be In charge Of the Columbus club when
the Interstate league nag drops.
The events Of the week have been
such as to indicate that Riley win be
able to secure grounds for his club,
which WIN meet his requirements and
as this has been the only thing that has
been holding him on. / look for an an
nouncement within the next few days
to the eject that 1Iagnate Riley Is
sending out contracts.
It was rumored last night that Riley
had been approached by the Columbus
street railway and that one Of the ON
cials of that company had offered to
build a fence around any park that
Riley might secure II he would not give
up IN his Efforts to make base BAH a
success in Columbus. Mr.. Riley could
not be seen after this fact was reported
and for that reason It was impossible to
substantlate the report However, It Is
understood that the Columbus street
railway feels that any other man who
might place an Interstate league team
in this city might not remain through
out the season and as they are anxious
to keep the capital city on the base ball
map, they were led to make such an Of
fer to Mr.. Riley
The local base ball public will GER
talnly feel relieved when 1t can be def

city is to be in the hands Of local par

Robbers IN Town.

Robbers made their appearance In
this city early yesterday morning, but
from all reports, to no avail. About !
o'clock yesterday morning the family
Of Fred. Dixon, residing on North
Fourth street. were awakened by q
noise at the back part Of the house.
While endeavoring TO locate from what
part Of the house the noise came, the
thieves had heard the footsteps on the
inside and were frightened away. MI.
Dixon, upon entering one Of the back
rooms upstairs, saw a ladder at the
window, but upon raising the window
no person was to be seen. The ladder
had been carried from across the alley
and was the property Of Jesse Selby. 1t
Is thought the family was awakened by
the thieves attempting to pry open the
window. Nothing was missing and no
damage was done.
