BEFORE TAKING
The census in Texas has been taken
and now the world will know just whut
population is aocorded to eaoh city by
our Uncle Sam And as tho world reads
the figures it may judge of the relative
honesty of Texas cities Before the
enumerators began their work we were
toldThat
That Dallas had 68000 population
That San Antonio was larger than Dal-
las
That Houston had 51402 people
That Galveston had as many as Hous-
ton if not more
That Austin had 27000 population
That Waco was as large as Fort
Worth nnd
That Fort Worth had 35000 people
Paste this in your hat for future refer-
ence for tho count will soon be known
Fort Worth came within about 5000 of
the aotual number How far from the
truth the other liars were we soon shall
know
THE REPLY OF RESENTMENT
A great deal ot unnecessary bunkum is beine
indulged in to the effect that the election of
Hogg will stop the influx of capital and retard
the development of the state We are not aware
that there is ady obligation resting npon Texas
to disregard the will and wishes of the people
in order to accommodate foreign capital least
we know of no such obligation If foreign capital
is to timid to stay in Texas under the administra-
tion of Bogg as governor then we would advise
foreign capitalists to pack their grips before next
ear for Jim Hogg is going to be governor and
t may be too late for them to get out after the
confiscation commences Austin Globe
Those gentlemen who have been pro-
claiming that Hoggs eieotion would
set Texas baok for years have only them-
selves to blame If tho above resentful
speech should become a slogan in Texas
The resentfulness of the Globe is nat-
ural No man or set of men in Texas
can claim to be the onry true blue work-
ers and patriots and as Tub Gazette
has time and again pleaded the day
may come when gentlemen will regret
that they ever declared any man could
rum the state Texas will be here after
August and after November and Texas
will invite men and capital then as now
and no oitlzen or newspaper should al-
low the heat of a campaign to prompt
utterances that may come home to roost
HARRISONS UNPOPULARITY
Harrisons unpopularity in his own
party was clearly shown the other day
when a number of leading Republicans
flocked around Senator Waloott of Colo-
rado and in tho most effusive mannor
congratulated him on a speech In which
he alluded to tho president in the most
scornful and contemptuous manner
Not one of those gentleman has the
courage to scold the president as Walcott
did and perhaps It would be foolish and
impolitic for them to do so but their un-
concealed satisfaction inllstentlng to the
wiry Coloradlttn as he poured hot sho
into the president nnd their gushing
gratulations at tho closo speak louder
than words of their secret ill will toward
their chief It Is undeniable after this
little senatorial symposium that Benja-
min is out of grace with tho better ele-
ment of bis party and that his principal
adherents and backers will be found only
among the BlocksofFive and Floater
Fund contlncent It Is a rather hu-
miliating attitude for a Presbyterian
elder to be placed in but there Is no
help for it Owing to an ungenerous
unmanly spirit and an overbearing de-
meanor he has been dragged to the levej
where by natural seleotlon he properly
belongs
SPECIMEN ROT
Yonr correspondent heard a reason given for
the Panhandle counties instructing for Hogg
which if true is quite a reflection on the peo-
ple of that section The argument is this That
less than twelve months ago takinj newspaper
reports as being trne it would have been dan
gerous for Mr Hogg to have cone into that sec-
tion and now that the Panhandle was Instruct-
ing for him seemed to be a mystery It was ex-
plained in this way That the people of the
ranhandle actually believo that if Hogg la
elected and the commission adopted the rail-
road lands will be taken from their owners and
opened up to actual settlers This may sound a
little itrange but it is thusly being dis-
cussed
The above is a specimen of matter The
Gazette is expected to print as news and
faots of the campaign The people of
the Panhandle will doubtless appreciate
the compliment paid to their patriotism
and common sense by the above special
to The Gazette sent from a Texas
town The man or men who made this
explanation of Mr Hojrgs popu-
larity it must bo charitably hoped did
not pause to consider that outside tblg
state Texas is Texas and that this sort ol
stuff going out to other states would re-
sult in fixing the stigma intended for
tho Panhandle on all the stats
Butthls is only a specimen argument
of tbe antiHogg and a commission
campaign and goes far to show why the
Hogg and a commission idea ha
ife dBs vMab
jh
fefii
Mtt ij fejjg f gia
taken such deep root in tbe popular
mind
UNWISE LEADERSHIP
Perhaps in a political campaign there
were never so many mistakes made in so
short a time as have followed the leader-
ship of the antlHogg and a commis-
sion faction The men who lend the
Cook and Hall forlorn hopes have been
heralded far and near as Warwloks of
Texas and great moulders of opinion
and yet every step taken by them has
been a mistake and the chief object of
their antagonism has actually been
strengthened by their every movement
while the publio feeling has been crystal
ized and intensified by arguments calcu-
lated to inflame ratber thau to convince
The commonest emotions of human na-
ture have been ignored by the swallow
tall leaders of tbe Seven County Combine
who act and talk as if the people wero
unfit for selfgovernment and incapable
of thought or action Independent of
those who haye so long posed as lead-
ers
Tbe campaign over the amendment
was opened by a vigorous and liberal de-
nial of the right of the state to regulate
railways when every schoolboy knows
the denial of a fight is not the best argu-
ment to use against tho exercise of a-
right
Then the Antis associated Hogg nnd
a commission In speech until It came
about in tho popular mind that Hogg
stood for a commission and a commission
stood for nogg until today it is ques-
tionable whether Hogg or a commission
is strongest in tbe hoarts of tbe people
Then tho people were told that
capital would avoid Texas it Hogg and
a commission carried the state and very
naturally the average citizen resented
the argument that be must sell his politi-
cal soul to the man of money in another
state
Then Hogg was berated for aooepting
a railroad nass tho use of which saved
so much money to the state while noth-
ing was said of th6se officials who fought
a commission with railroad passes In
their pookets
Then came tbe charge of blackmailing
against Mr Hogg given to tbe publio
years after the alleged offense and the
people saw In It only n desire of foreign
corporations to inferfere in their state
election
And intermixed with these vital mis-
takes wero tho business mens olubs tho
Seven County Combine the establish-
ment oX Hall and Cook headquarters In
the samo town with a strong umbilical
cord connecting the tTO etc etc
otoThe
The arguments of tho Antis have
been such as to exolte tbe resentment of
the people and tbe tricks ot tbe Antis
have been such as to martyrize Mr
Hogg and endear bim to tbe people
From the time the giants McDonald
and Throckmorton withdrew to make
room for Hall and Cook the antiHogg
and a commission campaign has been a
series of blunders unexampled in Texas
political history
Clark Barty Sbepard et al should
come down off their perch
Sixty Days In Texas
Hamburg Iowa Free Speech
Sixty days travel in Texas is too sbort
a time too see much yet I saw more of
Texas In that time than men
who have lived in tbe state
since it was a republic There are
sixtyfive railroads in the state On one
road you can travel 870 miles and go the
most direot route When you remember
that all these railroads have been built
slnoe the wnr you will realize how busy
the people have been not only in build-
ing railroads but Improving farms
building towns and oitles The roads are
In better condition they make better
time than many ofour railroads of the
Northwest If you desire to get away
from the busy world you can walk or rido
to some seoluded place 200 miles from tbe
iron horse but you will not have to re-
main there long as there are half a dozen
railroads coming that way and you will
have but a short time to rest until a qity
has grown up around you a city with its
thousands of inhabitants Such thlucs
have come to pass and will happen again
until the richest land In tbe world is
brought into cultivation
The free school system is backed by
thirtyseven million dollars in cash and

In yesterdays Gazette an ex
Georgian who say8 he was for awhile
stenographer for the seoretary of the
Georgia commission denies tbe correct-
ness of mystatement that tha duties of
the commission do opt there extend to
such matters as Inadequate depot and
station accommodations and tbe like In
preparing the article containing the
statement I had before me the s to tulles
jr
THE GAZETTE FOUT WORTH TEXAS WEDNESDAY JUNE 25
ot Georgia defining tho powers and duties
of the commission and also the latest
official report of tbe com i Issloners Tho
Georgia law imposes on tha commission
no duties of the kind mentioned and tbe
commissioners say in their re-
port referred to above Com-
plaints of inadequate and Inconvenient
depot and station accommodations
continue to reach us Wo are not au-
thorized by law to supervise or regulate
such matters and consequently have
been unable to afford any relief to com-
plaining parties and communities
The commissioners may be all wrong
about this and their clerks temporary
stenographer may bo right but It is not
even remotely probable that such is tbe
case especially as the law prescribes no
suoh duties for tbe commission That
the commission may have called tbe at-
tention of the railroads to such com-
plaints is one thing and that the prop-
osition stated by me is incorrect is
quite another The stenographer should
bear In mind thet one may copy neatly
and correctly as I trust he can do
without having a single idea or even

Epecial to the Gazette
Groveton Tex June 24 This town
was thrown into a state of great excite-
ment tonight by tbe suicide of a beauti-
ful young lady Mis3 Annie Turner
daughter of ExCounty Judge John B
Turner Tho excitement was very
much Intensified when tbe father of tho
young lady took the pistol from tbe
bunds of bis dying daughter and with it
killed Professor Davis Nothing has
ever occurred in this section which cast
such a gloom over our people Tho
causes leading to the killing your cor-
respondent has not yet learned Pro-
fessor Davis assumed charge of the
academy at this place some time last
March He was immediately from
Wake Forrest college North Carolina
and was a very fine looking gentleman
of considerable literary attainments
The preliminary trial on the killing will
doubtless develop a knowledge of tbe
cause leading to tbe tragedy

for heavy investments The re
sult is that yesterday Mr Ryan
purchased from Judge I R Darnell of
Wichita Falls ail the lands of the Kit
Carter land company in King and Cottle
counties valued at upwards ot 8100000
These lands are all fine wheat lands
and will In twelve to eighteen
months with tbs rapid development
of the West double lu value In the
sale Mr Ryan disposed of his large
stock of dry goods clothing eto to
Judge Darnell alter a most successful
business career and now devotes bis en
tire time to real estate his fore Mr
Ryan having an abiding faith in Fort
Worth proposes to invest all tho
profits from these Western lands
in Fort Worth This vast body of lands
was located many years ago by Jasper
Hays well known In Fort Worth where
he lived for years Col C H Higbee
also ot this city passed on the seleotlon
While Mr Ryan leaves mercantile

STAR 8PBING PALACE OP 1891
The fivepointed Texas star is an em-
blem sacred to the heart and finer feel-
ings of every Texanwhether native born
oranopted How bewitching is this orb
of twinkling light in tha realms of night
or early dawn just at the advent ot a
glorious day Such should be
tbe coming Palace for 1891 in its
entirety Is should be tbe rising
star heralding tbe progress greatness
and natural resouroes of a country so
abundantly blessed by natures bountiful
goodness
A star palace In Texas for Texas and
constructed of tbe products and deco-
rated with the varied designs that are
so beautiful Is an enterprise that all
should join with that peculiar
determination that characterizes and
has made famous to tbe world
a neople who overcome difficulties
gained Independence against tbe great-
est odds cleared the lrontiers convorted
the boundless prairies Into profitable
pastures farms towna hamlets cities
evidencing on every hand the material
progress that is going forward
Surely a people of this determination
will not drop their bands In despair at so
small a catastrophe as the burning of the
late Spring Palace an Institution that
has dono an untold amount of good for
the eutire state and has
borne that silent evidence to
many parts of the earth that with-
in this country of elbow room where
limitations ot mind are unbpunded
where genius Is awake is a oountry
suitable to live and la fully equal in re-
sources to build a star resplendent with
celestial splendor
