THE GAZETTE.
CLINTON THOMPSON, Editor and Propr.
Entered at the Post Office at McKinney, as
Second Class mall matter.
THURSDAY, JUNE 3, 1886.
Pull for the best interests of
the town and country.
We must get honest men into
office to say the least of it.
Don't let the railroad enterpris-
es lack for hearty welcome.
Don't let anybody doubt your
ardor in behalf of your city.
Business of all kinds will be
profited by the advent of another
railroad.
There is a considerable feeling
being aroused in North Texas in
favor of manufactories.
We want to see a greater inter-
est taken in the breeding of fine
stock in Collin County.
The Gazette's ambition is to
be the best newspaper in Collin
County. We will make the news
columns the special feature.
The McKinney Gazette, a large
and spicy weekly paper, is a new
and welcome visitor to our ex-
change table.—[Denton County
Post.
John Kellv, the famous Tam-
many Democracy leader and
Statesman, died Tuesday, after
nearly two years of lingering ill-
ness.
We want to see the farmer get
the best market price for his pro-
duce and see the merchant make a
reasonable per cent, on his invest-
ment.
If you brand the merchant as a
thief and the laborer as a com-
munist there can be no prosperity
for either. Mutual good will and
confidence is the correct policy.
We published the Dallas News'
report of the Farmers' and Labor-
ers' Convention last Saturday,
which we believe to be correct so
far as it is possible for us to learn.
Interest is being awakened in
McKinney in regard to the pro-
posed railroads through this
county. A representative will go
from here to St. Louis to confer
with directors of the St. L. & S.
F., who will meet there in a few
days.
Mr. C. F. Clint, of Dallas, is a
candidate for Attorney-General.
He will run a strong race, as he
has his splendid record as attorney
for Dallas county, to back him.
The Gazette would be glad to
see such fearless and honest men
in office as Mr. Clint.
Mr. Clinton Thompson, a
young man of considerable news-
paper experience, has commenced
the publication at McKinney of
the Gazette. The Call cheerfully
places it upon the X list, and
wishes for it all the prosperity and
success possible.—[Mose Harris'
Austin Call.
What can be of more impor-
tance to the prosperity and good
will of any town than the cheerful
patronizing of all laudable enter-
prises. The home workman
should be the first in consideration
with every citizen who needs the
services of a workman. The home
farmer should be patronized in
preference to all those who ship
from a distance, and should re-
ceive the highest prices the mar-
ket can afford. The home mer-
chant should not be ignored by
your sending to distant towns or
cities for what he will furnish you
just as cheap at your own doors.
Your own city job printer can not
see the justice and brotherly kind-
ness that should be uppermost in
every business man's heart in the
sending a;vay to any other city to
have job work done that he would
do just as cheap as anybody else
The true plan is to patronize the
home industries and enterprises.
Love your neighbors and prove
your love by your works and by
helping them all you can. Thus
good feeling and prosperity can
be fostered and all will be the bet
ter off for it.
If Democrats will stop follow-
ing after men in politics whom
they would not trust in the busi-
ness affairs of life, and assert
themselves in the conventions of
their party, that party would be
all any Democrat could wish. The
party only fails of its mission when
formers remain on their farms and
when merchants remain behind
their counters. This country is
and must of necessity be govern-
ed by political partyism. The in-
dividuals who belong to the dom-
inant party to any State, or in the
United States, are the rulers of
the country. If they abdicate
their thrones and remain away
from conventions they are to
blame if the party and the govern-
ment fall into evil ways. Law is
the crowned king of this republic.
Let those, then, who have griev-
ances against the law exercise
their right and select men to make
laws in Nation, State, County, and
city who will represent the will of
the people. It is immaterial to
the tax-ridden man, whether Jones
or Smith is sheriff, but it is all-im-
portant to him who is congress-
man, legislator, commissioner and
alderman; and the Gazette under-
takes to say that political wire-
pullers would cheerfully concede
all merely administrative and ex-
ecutive offices to others if they
could manipulate the law-making
branches of our government. Let
every Democrat go to the prima-
ries, for upon each Democrat is a
responsibility and a duty.—[Fort
Worth Gazette.
Democratic Platform.
The Grasshopper Plague.
The People of Milam County Organizing for
the Extermination of the Pests.
Cameron, May 31.—A numer-
ously attended meeting wras held
at the Court House this morning
for the purpose of devising some
plan for the extermination of the
grasshopper plague, which in some
sections of this country is assum-
ing an alarming aspect.
John C. Oxenford was called to
the chair, and Montague Moore
was elected secretafy. A great
interest was manifested in the pro-
ceedings, and a lively discussion
ensued. A committee of twenty-
one, consisting of merchants, far-
mers and physicians, was appoint-
ed with instructions to try all the
means known to them to suppress
the plague, and to report as soon
as possible their action in the
premises that the result of their
experiments may be diffused
through the public press.
The chairman was instructed to
correspond with the Agricultural
Bureaus at Washington City, and
of those States that have had ex-
perience in attempting to suppress
similar invasions.
The ravages do not extend to
all parts of the country, but the
farmers are thoroughly aroused
and know the absolute necessity
of immediate action.

A Skirmish at Medicine Hat.
Winnipeg, Man., May 30.—A
Medicine Hat dispatch says : "On
Thursday last an outpost in Cy-
press, in charge of Corporal
Ritchie, discovered a band of
American Indians camped a few
miles from their quarters. On
proceeding to the Indians' en-
campment the Corporal asked
their business in the Territory, and
for an answer received a shower of
bullets, which fortunately fell wide
of their mark. Ritchie then com-
manded his men to fire, and one
was dropped. The redskins sur-
rounded their wounded companion
and succeeded in carrying him off.
Shots were now frequently ex-
changed and the chase kept up
for some time, but on account of
the timber all trace of the Indians
was lost. On returning to the
place where the firing commenced
the police found a rifle and a
blanket, presumably the property
of the wounded Indian."
Robbed the Bank and Fled.
Peoria, 111., June 1.—So far as
examined the books of the sus-
pended Merchants National Bank
show that J. Finley Hoke, late
book-keeper, and now sojourning
in Canada, has succeeded in steal-
ing $180,000 of the bank's money,
and it is believed when the exam-
ination is concluded it will be
found to be $200,000.
The bank officials say Hoke
must have simply stolen the
money from the counter and draw-
ers and fixed his books according-
ly. One director said that the
depositors would be paid in full in
three or four days and the bank
closed.
Resolv ed, I. We, the Democrats
of Texas, in convention assembled,
cordially endorse the principles
announced in the platform adopted
by the national convention of the
Democratic party, in the City of
Chicago, in July last, and hail
with satisfaction the nomination
of the Hon. Grover Cleveland, of
New York, and Hon. Thomas A.
Hendricks, of Indiana, for Presi-
dent and vice-President of the
United States, and we pledge our
earnest and enthusiastic support
of said nominees.
2. We declare that the people
are the source ot all political pow-
er ; that the Democratic party is a
party of the people, and that it
has with unfaltering faith always
adhered to the doctrine that the
government was instituted among
men by their consent for mutual
protection, and we point with
pride to the grand strides of our
great commonwealth under its fos-
tering care and protection.
3. We declare that a free bal-
lot and a fair cbunt is necessary
to the existence of free govern-
ment among men, and the Demo-
cratic party pledges itself that this
right shall remain inviolate.
4. We believe that an efficient
system of common free schools
both for the white and colored
races is essential to the preserva-
tion of the liberties of the people,
and that all our public institutions
of learning should be fostered by
judicial legislative enactments, and
to this end we favor the raising of
revenue for these purposes by
such a disposition of the lands set
apart for these objects, under such
limitations as may best subserve
these ends, so that taxation for
such purposes may be reduced to
the lowest possible limit. We are
opposed to the enactment of a
herd law.
5. We declare that the free
schools and asylum lands are seg-
regated from the public domain,
and are by law a sacred trust in
the custody of the legislature, to
be held and managed in the best
interest of the respective funds to
which they have been dedicated,
and we hold it to be the highest
duty of the representatives of the
people to see to it that that trust
may not be sacrificed to the good
of any class.
6. We believe that the school
and general interest of our State
will be best subserved by the leas-
ing of said lands until such time
as they may be purchased by ac-
tual settlers at a reasonable price
fixed by law, without competition,
and in such a manner as not to
retard the development and pros-
perity of the frontier.
7. We believe that the existing
laws of our State for the protec-
tion of mechanics and laborers by
lien should be so comprehensive
and efficient, to the end that the
real laborer may be thoroughly
protected.
8. We declare that the legisla-
ture of our State should limit the
amount of real estate owned or
held by corporations in this State,
and that our incorporation laws
should be so amended as to pre-
vent, rather than encourage,
landed and other monopolies.
9. We declare that the proper
and immediate regulation of the
transportation of freight by com-
mon carriers is a matter of the
greatest concern to the public at
large, and that the delays and dis-
crimination to which persons and
places are often subjected by said
carriers should be remedied by
prompt and efficient legislation.
10. Recognizing the great
principle of Democratic faith as
essential to the prosperity of the
people and to the continuance of
our free institutions we confidently
appeal to all lovers of good gov-
ernment in Texas to assist in the
maintenance of the same.
Gibson, Mottler, Healey and | ^
Dickerson—are resting fairly well
to-day under the care of Drs.
Colley, Dougless, Walker, West,
and Dr. Smith, of the company's
hospital.
Healey and Mottler are the
worst sufferers. Healey's right leg
is broken in two places below the
knee, and Mottler is badly scalded
all over the body.
Dickerson got a deep cut under
the left shoulder by a fragment of
the boiler jacket.
Engineer Goodrich took his
breakfast comfortably this morn-
ing. His broken leg is doing nice-
ly, but a cut behind the left ear
gives him considerable trouble.

up through the west roof of the

and declared they would stay with the j

icated manner that "This was the first

about an hour the convention had got
itself in working order once more in its

The lirst motion made was to proceed

Much has been said about the
condition of the exploded engine,
but no one was found who would
go before the coroner's jury and
swear that it was unsafe. Hayman,
foreman of the boiler department,
asserts on the stand that if he had
been put to work on the boiler he

Several delegates jumped to their feet
and began talking all at once about "the
violation of Democratic usages," "muz-

The chairman rapped loudly until order
was restored.
Then a motion was made and passed that
Mr. Xaylor be allowed live minutes to

after remarking how proud lie felt about
"the exalted position which had been ac-
corded him to address the sovereign peo-
ple of Collin County in convention assem-

what he termed the unwisdom and the

of :tu0 Republicans, were of the Demo-

shoulder to shoulder under the old flag
and square their differences according to
the good old rules laid down by the party
organization.

TIIE RESOLUTIONS.
The committee on resolutions reported j:
the following:
Whereas, There is a feeling of unrest j
and discontent among laborers and pro-!l
ducing masses of the country which indi- j
cates that there are wrongs in the econo- !]
mic and industrial system and which in- ij
dicate that there are evils in the adminis-
tration of the government, both State and
national, which need and demand reme-
dies.
Whereas, We believe these wraags and
these evils arc to be found in elass ley is- !
latum which has placed themonetray arKl
industrial interests ot the country in the
hands of concentrated money power and
in the almost entire and exclusive control
of the monopolies, and

remedy these evils and to right these
wrongs lies in the masses of the people,

Two Boys Hung Up.
Sulphur Springs, May 31.—
Three colored boys aged about 17
years, took two smaller boys out
to White Oak yesterday and hung
them up twice to make them prom-
ise not to work for certain prices,
but to charge more. It seems that
the larger boys had threatened
them several times that if they did
not stop working so cheap they
would punish them. They hung
them till they promised to raise
the price of boot-blacking, carrying
notes etc.
County Attorney E. W. R. Har-
ris has had the boys arrested and
they will have an examining trial
to-morrow.
The Palestine Explosion.
Palestine, June I.—It is impos-
sible yet to arrive at a correct es-
timate of the damage done to
property of the International and
Great Northern Railway Com-
pany, by the awful explosion of
engine 720 yesterday.
Five engines are badly damaged.
The shock drove engine 36, which
was standing on the same track
with 720, nearly through the east
side of the round-house, and men
several hundred feet away in the
tin shop and other departments
were prostrated. A peculiarity of
the occurrence was that many who
were injured felt the shock with-
out hearing the explosion.
At least thirty men besides the
two killed were injured more or
less or prostrated by the explo-

A Doctor Kxperimcnts Upon Himself and
Daughter Till Both Have Gone Mail.
Elmira, May 24.—Dr. A. S. Ila-
zen, of Sharpsville, Pa., and his
daughter caused a sensation at the
Delavan House this morning.
They yelled, kicked the furniture
about in their adjoining apart-
ments, and causcd such a disturb-
ance that the police were called
in. Dr. Ilazen and daughter were
found to be slaves to cocaine.
Four men forcibly removed them
to the hospital. About a year ago j
Dr. IIa?en began a series of ex- j

periments with hypodermic injec-!
tions of cocaine, practicing upon \
himself and daughter until both
are now raving maniacs. The
Hazens are the most prominent

Dr. Ilazen, or Hayden, and
daughter created a sensation at
the Gault House in Chicago about
a fortnight ago. They imagined
burglars were trying to enter their
room, and acted so strangely that
they were thought to be insane.
The morning after their arrival the
landlord, Mr. Gage, requested
them to leave the house. He
finally called the police, and the
two were taken to the Desplaines
Street Station, and afterward to
the county hospital. The physi-
cians were told that burglars had
recently entered the Ilazen resi-
dence in New York, and the
daughter was so badly frightened
that she had since been suffering
with St. Vitus dance. Hoping a
change would help her, the father
was traveling with her in the West.

The Zuni Indians who killed a

two children, has been on trial

during his live minutes oration.
One of the delegates moved that Mr.
II wling's time be extended, and that
centlcman .sailed along once more in a
sea of eloquence. He gave a short resume
of his I >emyerati'.' record, detailing
amongst other memorable things that he
lia.l been "rocked in a Democratic cradle."
Proceeding he gave utterance to
this skntl'.xok :
''Cleveland has proven a traitor to the

those wno believed in reforming the
party inside the party lines, who wanted
to purify the Democracy and place the
tcet of its representatives back in the
path of honesty and traditional party
methods.
Mr. llewling wound up his speccn with
these words:
"We are the Democracy of Collin
County. We have made this call, and we
are onposcd to the noniinition of any
man who will not abide by the result ot
this meeting."
Jilt. FIXI.KY ON IUSTOHY.
A chunky, square built, honest faced
farmer, named Flnlev, with long white
beard and frosted hair, assured the assem-
blage that he wanted to see farmers or-
ganized all over the land. "Some folks,"
he said, "when .John Henry Brown made
his raid on Harper's Ferry, declared they
were willing to gather up in a lady's
thimble all the blood that would be shed.
Now, I tell you, gentlemen, there is a
worse war threatening to-day than when
John Brown made that raid; and unless
the farmers unite 1 don't see how we can
evade it."
Capt. W. N. Hush, prospective candi-
date for the Legislature, declined to ad-
dress the meeting just then, lie would
wait until the permanent organization
had been effected.
IX WOHKING ORDER NOW.
The report of the committee 011 cre-
dentials, .-bowing 85delegates present out
of a possible 105, was rece'vcd and
adopted.
The following committee 011 resolu-
tions were appointed, but not a single
resolution was referred to them during
the entire progress of the meeting :
Messrs. Roach, Hume, Liu-gent, Jackson
and Moore.
THE FOLLOWING RESOLUTION
was introduced by Delegate J. G. Davie:
Resolved, That we, the farmers and
laboring men of Collin County, Texas, in
convention assembled, believing that we
have not been fairly represented in the
choice of officers who make and execute
our county, State and national laws,
and
Whereas, It has resulted in class legis-
lation and rings and combinations for the
purpose of procuring official influence
and patronage tor the benefit of a few.
and to the detriment of the masses of the
toiling farmers and laborers of Collin
County and to the Democratic convention,
in aase it should be called for the purpose
of nominating, the following named gen-
tlemen as our choice to fill the following
offices.
CAPT. I) A VIE
made an impassioned speccli in favor ct
his resolution. He whs a Democrat; lie
had painted his legs with Polk juice in
1844; had dccorated the scions ot liis tow
shirt witli the same color, had whipped
every Kentucky boy who %d crossed the
as possible by legislation to thaJt end:
that 110 new national banks sW<n!d be
chartered, and that with the expiration of
the charters ot existing banks the whole
system should end, and that the circulat-
ing medium of the country should consist
of gold and silver under a system of tree
coinage by the government supplemented
bv all the legal tender greenbacks neces-
sary to secure the most ample per capita
| circulation of money demanded by the
interests of the. masses of the country.
3. The tariff should be abolished except
as to actual luxuries, and if further reve-
nue is necessary to an economical admin-
istration of the government should be j
raised by graduated income tax and a di- i
reet tax upon the millionaire fortunes ot
the country. 4. No more pensions should
be given to the wives or children of re-
lieved or deceased officials of the govern-
ment. o. In State affairs economy and re-
trenchment is demanded, and the depsrt-
nients should be reduced to the least
necessary clerical force, and the clerks
therein should be required to labor nine
hours 111 a day. All public lands, such as
the school lands, should be held for ac-
tual settlers.
Resolved, The school age should be
extended from 7 to 21.
Resolved, We believe a third term in
any office undemocratic and unsafe, and ft
that it is in line of perpetuity, and that ;
good government demands that it slicwjd
be condemned and abandoned by tbe ■
voters at the ballot box.
Resolved, Reductions of tax&fe is de-
manded by the general and Stata govern-
ment and also by our ConlulissioneE&,
Court.
Resolved, We demand that liegislatio'u
in the future should govern and prot ect
the interests of the laboring and^pro'Juc-
ing classes, believing that the prosp erttv
ot the country depends nuon the pr osper-
ity of these classes; that arbitration is

tween capital and labor until tir and ex-
perience indicate a better motif..

In the central agricultural dis-
tricts of Russia, the whole num-
ber of inhabited houses is nearly

his two sons and daughters and a

The anarchists have found out
by experience that the time hasn't
come yet when they can have
things their own way and dictate
to a man as to how he shall con-

not quite so free as all that
amounts to. A man can do as
he pleases only so long as ^
