'Senator Teller expresses the opinion
that the gold Democrats will not bolt the
Chicago convention, but they will knife
the ticket at the polls. The gold forces
of the country -will be a unit in Novem-
ber, he says. IMr. Teller may be a crank
on the subject of his silver mining inter-
ests, but he has the situation sized up
a'bout right. The sound money men will
be practically a unit in November for
maintaining the financial integrity of the
country and the stability of the currency
if the ifiatists and repudiators have their
-way at Chicago. Mt. Teller is eminently
correct when he says the battle will be
on the financial question.

In spite of cranks and crazes of one
sort and another, in spite of pessimistic
and revolutionary sentiment, of moss
backs and croakers and that sort of thing,
this American country is the biggest and
best thing going, and its birthday ought
to be celebrated with great eclat. Let us
have a rousing, patriotic, enthusiastic
Fourth of July.
The latest presidential boom at Ghicago
is that of ex-G-ov. Pennoy er of Oregon,
the freak which unusual political condi-
tions brought to the surface in the west
a few years ago. There are said to be at
least two votes behind the Pennoyer
boom.
<If -Gov. Altgeld is sot in his mind in re-
gard to limiting the session of the Chi-
cago convention to one day the matter is
as good as settled. Whatever Altgeld
may say in regard to the matter carries
the weight of authority. From present
indications it is strictly an Altgeld af-
fair.
Information from Philadelphia is to
the effect that 'Barker is willing to lead
the bloated manufacturers, national
bankers and great corporation magnates
into the free silver camp if the Chicago
convention will only nominate Barker
for president, and it is understood by Mr.
Barker and his friends and admirers that
Mj. Barker of Philadelphia is the only
man living who could deliver the manu-
facturing and national 'banking interests
to the silverite party. It is just possible,
however, that the Chicago convention
may not have the gumption to nominate
Mr. Barker of Philadelphia as the silver
standard bearer.
also I shall speak. On the confines from
Georgiana there is a fountain from which
oil springs in great abundance, insomuch
that hundreds of shiploads might be taken
from it at one time. This oil is not good
■to use as food, but it is good to burn, and
•is also used to annoin-t camels that have
the mange. People come from vast dis-
tances to fetch it, for in all the countries
rotjnfi. about they have no other oil.

FIRE PROTECTION. | I
The destructive fire at the Mallory
wharf yesterday afternoon emphasizes,
as nothing else could, the necessity for
the water mains and hydrants along the
wharf front for which the city has already
made provision, and which may in future
prevent a repetition of yesterday’s calam-
ity.
The flame® were very destructive and
the loss very heavy, yet it is generally
agreed that it might have been much
worse under different conditions.
If, for example, a strong 'breeze had
been blowing from the north instead of
the wind being from the opposite direc-
tion; if the Mallory line steamer had
been lying at her wharf and directly in
the path of the flames, the damage might
have been far greater. It may be added,
also, that if the fire department had been
less efficient, if the firemen had worked
with less skill and energy, the results
might have 'been very much more disas-
trous. There have ‘been only words of
praise for the work of the firemen, the
disadvantages under which they labored
being duly appreciated. To stop the pro-
gress of the flames St a time when they
were apparently beyond control required
not only heroic work, but intelligent di-
rection. and gave sufficient evidence of
what the Galveston department may be
depended upon to do with proper facili-
ties. The extension of the water mains
along the wharf front,which is now under
way and will be pushed with all possible
vigor, accelerated, perhaps, 'by the expe-
rience of yesterday, will afford ample
protection against fire in that quarter in
future, especially when reinforced by a
fire patrol boat such as the Wharf com-
pany ha,s already arranged to provide.
Regreta'ble as is the loss sustained by
yesterday’s fire, the effect may not be al-
together bad. INew and better 'buildings
will he erected at once and the damage
repaired before the opening of the busy
season, and meanwhile such steps will be
taken as will most probably prevent a
recurrence of such disasters. (Nothing -is
so convincing as an object lesson.
“I am a Democrat” has always been
the proudest boast of Senator David B.
Hill of New York, and at all times and
under all circumstances Senator Hill has
shown himself to be just what he
claimed to be, but this does notKrecom-
mend him to the favorable consideration
of the silver crowd at Chicago. The tear
stained senator from Colorado or the
long whiskered freak from Kansas stand
higher in the estimation of the silverites
than the New York Democrat

The Santa Fe will attach a special car
to its Chicago train leaving Fort Worth
tonight to accommodate the sound money
Democrats who will attend the Chicago
convention.
General Passenger Agent Keenan re-
ports that notwithstanding hard times
the business of his department is holding
up well. The St. Louis sleepers are go-
ing out full every night and travel to the
north and east is better than was ex-
pected.
The Santa Fe expects to run several
excursions to Erureka (Springs this sum-
mer, but this has not yet been finally de-
cided upon. A one fare rate for the round
trip, tickets good for 30 days, will be of-
fered as an inducement to tem.pt the
weary away to the mountains around
Eureka Springs for rest and recreation.
The dates of sale of these tickets will be
announced later.

That the field for the application of
electricity is practically unlimited is again
demonstrated by a seafaring man, who
proposes to go out and kill whales with .
The salt had so much faith,in his scheme
•that he engaged an electrician to build
a dynamo that 'would generate an alter-
nating current of 10,000 volts. The dyna-
mo he 'will have rigged up in his ship, and
then he will sail away to the north to cap-
ture the whale in a fin-de-siccle manner.
Capt. C’harles W. Hershell of Halifax,
owner and -commander of the whaling -ship
Rosalie, is the man who intends to wipe
cut the customs and traditions of the
■w haling industry with a small wire and a
large dynamo.
As to the method of rhe application, the
captain explained it to a New York writer
■as follows:
“I 'am going to place the dynamo on
the whaler, and not put it in operation un-
til the whaling grounds are reached. On
board I will have a big reel of heavy in-
sulated wire.
‘'The reel will be placed in the smaller
boat, in which, we will go out to meet the
whale. We shall have several thousand
feet of wire -on. the reel. One end will be
connected with the dynamo. At the other
end, which will be in the smaller boat,
will be a bard rubber stick about four
feet in length. The wire 'will run through
■that stick so that it may be handled easi-
ly and s'afely. , ,
“At the end of the stick will be attached
a piece of metal 24 inches long and 1 inch
in diameter. The point of that needle
will be sharp so ns to penetrate the flesh
of the whale easily. .
“The hard rubber stick and the big
needle will be used just as we use the har-
poon today. When near th® Sg fish, as
near as we get in the old way, the bar-,
pooner will throw the electric barb.
“At the lime there will be a. current of
10.0.00 voltis running through the wire.
When the point of the needle strikes the
■whale a current connection will be formed
w’ith the dynamo, and the whale will get
the full .shock of the high voltage, and be
dead in the fraction of a second.”
ARMENIA CENTURIES AGO.
Noah Brooks in St. Nicholas.
This is a great country. It begins at a
. city -called Arzinga, at which they weave
the best buckrams in the world. It pos-
sesses also the best, baths from natural
springs that are anywhere to be found.
The people of the country are Armenians,
and are subject to the Tartar.
> The country is indeed -a passing great
one, and in the summer it is frequented
■ bv the whole host of the Tartars of the
' Levant, because it then furnishes, them
• with such excellent pasture for their cat-
tle. But in winter the cold is past all
<• bounds, so in ’that season -they , quit
’ country a.nd go to a warmer region where
they find other good pastures. At a castle
called Paipurth, that you pass in going
from Treblzond to Tauris, there is a very
good silver mine. . , , .
And you must know that it is m this
country of Hermenia that the . ark of
Noah -exists on the top -of -a certain great
mountain, on the summit of which snow
is so -constant that no one can. ascend, tor
the snow never -melts, and is constantly
added to by new falls. Below, however,
the snow -does melt, -and runs down, Pro-
ducing such rich and abundant herbage
that fii .sum-mer cattle are -sent from -a
long way round -about, and it never fails
them. The melting snow also ca-oses a
exeat amount of mud -on the mountain.
The country Is bounded on the south by
a kingdom called Mosul, the people of
which -are Jacobite -and Nestorian -Chris-
tians of whom I shall have more to tell
vrou presently. On the north it is bound-
id by the land of the Georgians, of whom
LUCKY HIGH ISLANDERS.
Hold Lands a-t $75 Assessed on a $5 Acre ■
Basis.
There was a sharp di-s'eu-ssion in the
county 'commissioners’ court yesterday
over the assessment of land at High Isl-
and. Mr. Beyder declared that the pres-
ent assessinen't is at $5 per acre, while the
owners held the land -at $7-5 per acre. He
thought it unfair to the people of Gal-
veston isl'aiid. Mr. Westerlage moved
that the assessment be left as it was. He
thought the commissioners ought -to- do
a little saving for the- county by holding,
fewer sessions. Every session costs the
county $15.
Mr. Westertage’s motion 'was carried.
This angered Air. Reyder, and an acri-
monious exchange of compliments be-
tween -the conimissio-ii'ers followed, Mr.
Bailey stating that he proposed to iii-
-trodiice a resolution next week to prove
that Galveston island property is, in some
instanc-es, ass'essed at an outrageously
low figure-.
James Harry Painter got a certificate of
good character. He -wanted his disabili-
ties of minority removed, and he intends
to engage in -the practice of law.
Mr. Bailey reported that he had made
an arrangement with a custom house em-
ploye to get a list -of boats in Galveston
harbor for correction of the tax roll. The
list is to bo furnished next Tuesday, and
the price agreed upon was $20. The- board
approved Mr. Bailey’s action.
Adjourned until Monday afternoon.

SUNDAY TRIBUNE.
Each purchaser of The Sunday Tribune
will receive a copy of the Saturday even-
ing edition.
Nothing from the -Saturday evening edi-
tion is repeated in the Sunday edition.
Hence Sunday purchasers, who are not
regular readers, would miss much inter-
esting news. For their benefit the Satur-
day evening edition* is inserted.
Regular readers receive both papers and
so do not need to have Saturday evening s
news repeated. _ _
Houston Post.
The Galveston Tribune- is cruel. It
-sjay-s: “The Houston Poet has finally
reached ithe conclusion that free silverism
would not be such a bad thing after -all.”
—Galvest-on News.
No, the Post has not re ached -that “con-
-eluisi'oai,” but there are-situations when de-
feat may be stopped short of panic -and
disaster'by inspiring courage and -a de-
termination 'to make the best of what may
happen. Politics is not an exact science,
and there is always a possibility -of error
in opinions. A good general ma y eont'em-
pla-te the possibility -of defeat, and guard
against panic without subjecting himself
to the charge that he had concluded that
defeat “would not. be such a bad thing aft-
er all.”

To The Tribune.
Galveston. Tex., July 3.—I see in to-
day’s News- an interview from one H. L.
Storm, at Austin, -eoneerning N. W.
Cuney’s leade-rsihip. I doubt very much
whether, if Mr. Cuney had known of his
forthcoming interview he would not
have entered an objertion. Su'eh people
as Storm and others ruin any leader’s
chances of smoeess. -Mr. Storm as ex-
officio justice of the peace ought to know
that possession is nine po-in-ts of the law.
Mr. Grant is chairman of the state ex-
ecutive committee, and also a member of
■the national committee, and will be so
recognized by all true and loyal Republi-
cans of the- state. Republicans are not
going to make a fight against the- head of
the party to- gratify a personal grievance
'that anv man may have. Ais long a's he
can build up the party in Texas he 'will
always have 'a true and loyil following.
Mr. Storm claims that Chairman Grant
is draiwirg the color line. I s'ay he is
wrong, for Grant is for all loyal Republi-
cans, without regairt -to color, race or
nationality, and for the elevation of -the
party and its principles, and 1 -would ap-
peal to- all true and loyal Republicans to
give him that support which is due him
■as the leader of the party in Texas.
I have arrived at this conclusion, that
as long a-s a. colored man is leader o-f the
party in this state 'there will be no ele-
vation for Republidanjs, as # our white
brethren will not drop into- line. On the
contrary, if Mr. Grant is given the op-
portunity be will bring it up to a higher
standard -than it is now. Instead o-f hav-
ing all the wrangling at state conventions
as has been heretofore, let each and every
Republican work as a unit for -the sue-
eesR of the party, and do away forever
■with this one man power running conven-
tions. Let all true and loyal Republi-
cans take off their coats and work to
give Maj. Wm. McKinley anil G. A. Ho-
bart -the largest vote that Tex'ais ever gave
■to a presidential nominee of the Repub-
lican party. Richard Nelson.
DISAGREED WITH THE TEXT.
'Shoe 'and Leather Reporter.
An eminent preacher gave as his text:
“As a man thinketh, so is he.” After the
sermon, a lay brother said Ito- the pa-rtor:
“Your sermon was a scholarly -effort,
but I -cannot agree with you in your prem-
" “I am -sorry replied the preacher. “I
gave a great deal of 'thought -and study to
that sermon. To what part -of 'it do you
bake exception?”
“AVell,” said the lay brother, ,vou say
■that as a man thinketh so is he.”
“Yes,” replied the minister. .
“Well. I have a nephew who thinks he
knows ft all, when the truth is he is -a
confounded idiot.”
The average railroad man is as mum
as an obsolete oyster when it comes to
talking to newspaper rep-lrt'ers about
changes in the positions of his superiors.
But T'he Tribune’s -story yesterday aft-
ernoon that C-ol. L. J. Polk would likely
succeed Mr. Yoakum as general manager
of -the Santa Fe, was so totally unexpect-
ed, that the boys opened up a. little and
began, to see the light. Everybody seemed
to have forgotten up to the 'time they read
The Tribune yesterday that Col. Polk
had done isome things on a railroad be-
sides manage traffic miatters. They seem-
ingly overlooked the fact that be is one
of the most accomplished civil engineers
in the Texas railroad service, and what
hie doesn’t know about railroad maint-e-
n-ance and construction has been dis-
covered very recently. Then, again, be
knows men thoroughly. His perception is
quick and his judgment is good. His ex-
perience is broad, and he is accustomed
to command. Besides this he comes from
good old stock from which men are made,
and to quote a railroad mail who knows
him intimately, and is competent to judge,
'“Col. Polk is just the man for -the place.”
The Tribune has reason, and good rea-
son. too, -to believe that Co-1. Polk will
succeed Mr. Yoakum. The matter has not
yet been finally settled, so iit is said, but
that it is being seriously considered -there
is no doubt. For that matter, it has not
beenofficially announced that Mr. Yoakum
will leave the Santa F-e. But those- who
know a thing or two .about the situation
understand that the Frisco- is to- be- re-
organized by the present general mana-
ger of the Santa Fe. The change will
probably take place about the first of the
month.
BAGGING RATES REVISION.
■In the circulars issued 'by the state rail-
way commission announcing that the
question of rates on cotton bagging and
ties from Houston and Galveston to
Texas common points will be taken up
for readjustment July 15, the commission
says:
“It has been represented to the com-
mission that a, pressing necessity exists
for the establishment of rates of 35 cents
per hundred pounds from Galveston and
22 cents -per hundred pounds from Hous-
ton to all Texas state -common point ter-
ritory, excop-t in cases where the current
fifth class rates or established commo-
dity rates applying on bagging and ties
are less, it being understood that the
rate of 212 cents shall ibe the maximum
to apply between all stations to which
said rate applies .from Houston. Rates
in shipments to points in differential ter-
. ritory to be made by employing the fifth
class differential rates prescribed in gen-,
er-al tariff of class rates .of No. 1 under
the rules governing same in connection
with the rates of 25 and 22 cents as above
set forth.”
The present rates on bagging and ties
from Galveston to Texas common points
is 311 cents, while the rate from Houston
is -28 cents. Th/s is the time that bag-
ging and ties sa^e about to move, and the
railroads are greatly exercised over the
slice the commission evidently intends to
take off of their revenue. The proposed
reduction will put. the rate lower than it
has ever been except in the midst of a
rate war several years ago, when for a
day or two the rate went down to 6
cents. But the railroads -soon tired of
this cut throat business, and put the
rate back to a basis on which they hoped i
to handle the business with a. small mar-
gin of profit. Local traffic managers will
not discuss the matter with reporters.
They seem to be afraid to ventilate their
opinions of the commission in the press,
although that they -have opinions in
plenty which would make deuced lively
reading there is no doubt.
On the other hand the bagging and tie
men are equally as reticent and will not
talk for publication, preferring to fight
their case -out before the commission.
This is an intensly important su'bjeft to
the farmer and the railroad man alike,
and its settlement will be awaited with
much interest.

The Houston Post, the solitary advo-
cate o-f -the straddle and compromise poli-
cy and stick-ito-the-party-righ't-or-wu'iong
organ, is evidently becoming 'thoroughly
disgusted, as 'witness the following:
Some reports from Chlekg'O' would indi-
cate that Altgeld is running things about
•ais muich ETa.nna did ait Sit. Louis. If
that, is to be the situation, then) let there
be no 'straddle—nominate Altgeld and
Debs, -and “let her go- at that.”
The Port can stand Bland, Boies or
most any o-f the others, but when it comes
to consi'dering Altgeld and Tillman the
Port grows sick in -the stomach,. There i-s
a limit to- endurance.
