Republican Meeting in Second Ward.

At a meeting of therepublicans
in the 2nd ward last night, to Sc
lcct candidates for delegates to
the city convention tomorrow,
the following names were pr e-
sented. Tom Watkins, R. p.
Walters, w. Y. Weber, b. W

Williamson, l.. j. Morrison, Y.
w. Dobson, j. G. Richie, c. b.

Brown, and T.. j. Houston. G b.
IO'Dell was elected chairman of
the meeting and A. l.. Wilson
secretary. Adolph Miller was Sc
lected committeem an for the
next year. The 2nd ward is en-
titled to seven delegates in the
city convention. The colored re-
publicans asked that j. W. Wiley
(colored) be selected as a dele
gate and we think the Republic
cans will certainly agree to this
as there is no money in the po-
sition and they are very anxious
to get the colored man $ vote
again this spring. Tom Watkins
received the nomination for
councilman for the long term.
and f.. j. Houston for the short
term. Atty G.. b. Phelps was
named for the latter position but
declined to make the race. We
can see where he is right. The
End ward is going to elect the two
Democratic candidates who are
beyond doubt two of the best men
in the ward for that position.

FIRE IN AN OIL FIELD.

BEAUMONT, Texas, April ia
fire on Spindle Top, which started at
o'clock this morning, did damage es-
timated at 100000. Two hundred
and sixty-five dericks were lost. Two
hundred rigs were on producing wells.
The fire started from a lantern at
the Caldwell company's well. The fly
wheel of the engine struck the Ian
tern and ignited the derrick and the
flames spread with tremendous rap
idity, three blocks. No effort was
made to extinguish the fire for it was
impossible to get within a hundred
feet of the flames. No one was in
jured 1t is estimated that two-thirds
OF the companies in the burned dis
trict will be unable to recover from
the damage.

Crime

FRANKFORT, KY, April 15.-F.
Cecil who has been away from Ken
lucky since his indictment last year
as accessory to the murder of Cover
nor Gobel and who recently surren-
dered, gave some sensational testi-
mony in the trial of Howard today.
Cecil corroborated Culton, Broughton,
Golden and others as to the alleged
conspiracy. He also said that Caleb
Powers, then secretary of state, told
him that the man had been secured
to come here from the mountains to
kill Goebel. If this man failed to arrive
Powers told him, he (CeciD would be
paid $500 if ne would fire the shot.
Cecil says he declined.
Gov w. S. Taylor, he testified, call
ed him into his Office and told him
the same thing Taylor said he had
saved $500 from his campaign fund
and that he would pay Immediately.
Governor Taylor also mentioned Yout
sey to the witness and referred wit
ness to him. Henry E. Youtsey told
on the witness stand his story of the
killing of the late Governor Goebel.
and named James Howard, the defen-
tant, as the man who fired the shot.
Youtsey said he saw Howard for the
first time few minutes before the
shooting. Howard had a letter sent
him several days before by the witness
at Governor Taylor's direc.on. Yout-
sey says he took Howard into Caleb
Powers Office. which had been espec
tally arranged for the shooting. He
showed Howard the Marian rifle. the
bullets and the window from which
the shooting was to be done.
He says Howard asked what he was
to get for the shooting.
What do you want for it?" Youtsey
says he asked, and Howard says he
wanted a pardon for killing George
Raker.
About that time" said the witness,
"Goebel came in the gate and l pointed
him out to Howard and then ran from
the room AS l disappeared from the
steps into the basement l heard the
CT ack of Howard srifle.

An Unexpected Reply

Bishop G. c. McCabe, one of the
most prominent men in the Methodist
Episcopal church, was visiting in Fort
Worth, Tex, not long ago. A New
York paper wired him thus: &c. C.
McCabe, Fort Worth. What is your op-
inion on the Anglo-American alliance?
Please wire us answer" Now it hap
pened that there resided in Fort
Worth a well known citizen of the
name of c. c. McCabe. The telegraph
company knowing C. C. McCabe better
than the bishop, delivered the mes
sage at the formers home. The re-
cipient was considerably surprised,
but he promptly wired this reply: 1T
is a id good thing" Just what
the New York editor thought on re-
ceiving the return message is not a
matter of record.-Chicago Chronicle.

THE IOWA IDEA OF TARIFF RE-
VISION VICIOUS IN PRINCIPLE
AND FRAUGHT WITH DANGkl.
TO THE WOOL-GROWING AND
WOOL-MANUFACTURING
INDUSTRIES.

Not the least of the restraining in
fiuences which have halted the demand
for wool in the midst of the greatest
general prosperity this country has
ever known, is the threat of tarin re-
vision by Governor Cummins of Iowa,
who in his speech of March IA declared
that he will do what lies in his power
to introduce into the Republican Ma
tional Platform next year, a demand
for Tariff revision, because, as he
says, some of the Dingley Tarin
duties ARE too high"
This threat to open the tariff ques-
tion has caused some alarm that can
not be entirely quieted until after the
next clip is sold. and it will prove
costly to the American wool-grower,
for it is we'll understood that the tar
iff cannot be subjected to even a
slight change without opening the
whole question.
Experience has demonstrated that
this is fraught with especial peril to
the wool growing industry, which OF
all others is the most sensitive.
In justification of this threat, Gov
ernor Cummins declares that con
sumers are better entitled to compe-
tition than producers to protection,
as if the producers are not the great
est of all consumers.
A blow aimed at American produ-
GERS would be an almost irreparaDle IN
Jury to the many, for the benefit OF
the few, and would instantly check
the present marvellous Industrial pros
perity. of which the wool-growers VIII
continue to have their share, II 1t Is
not halted.
The whole, or nearly the whole OF
the benefits of the present Protective
Tariff go to the producer. 1t is due
to this fact almost entirely that pro-
ducers have become the greatest con-
sinners. making the home market the
best in the world.
For the first time, under this sys-
TEN, American manufacturers re-
ouire not only the whole OF our own
production, but imports also, one-haif
of which is raw material TO be man
ufactured here. which for the fiscal
year, promises for the first time 10
reach one thousand millions OF dol
| lars in value.
To give the consumer the benefit
of the competition of the cheap labor
of Europe in preference to the pro-
lection of the American producer, as
recommended by Governor Cummins'
would overthrow our prosperity.
Such advice is misehievous agitation
that should be Indignantly denounced.
That of Senator Hanna to stand pat
on the present tariff is far safer.
There is no class of trade whose
capital is more timid, nor who desire
tariff revision more than woolen man

week sent a copy of the circular to
Governor Albert B. Cummins of Iowa,
whose alleged utterances were en-
bodied therein. Both being self-ex-
planatory, we herewith produce the
