PAY FOR OVERTIME.
Gresham Argues His Bill in
of Galveston Work-
Favor
men,
The Argument of Democratic Senators on
the Tariff Bill Is Expected to Rally
Strong Support-Washington News.
Washington, April 25.—[Special.]—Con-
gressman Gresham went before the com-
mittee on labor to-day and made an argu-
ment in favor of his bill to pay employes
of the government on government work for
extra time put in by them after the passage
of the eight-hour law. The bill is intended
for "the relief of those who were employed
by the government on the harbor work at
GaJveston and worked overtime after the
passage of the eight-hour law.
Mr. Gresham argued that the government
had paid states for frontier defenses, cor-
porations and municipalities for work done
for the government, and his bill was as
highly just as any bill ever introduced for
relief for persons who had performed work
for the government. He insisted that the
matter should not be referred to the com-
mittee on claims, but should be settled di-
rectly by the government from the pay
rolls which it had in its possession. His
reason for this contention was that the
workmen to whom this money was justly
due were not aible to prosecute their claims
in the courts.
A subcommittee was selected to take all
the bills before the committee on this sub-
ject and make a report. •Mr. Gresham is
hopeful of a favorable report.
•TARIFF BILL
Washington, April
SITUATION.
25.—[Special.]—"Sena-
tor Brice announces to-day -that a tariff
bill has been agreed on between the demo-
cratic members of the senate, which will
call to its support every democrat in that
b'ody. He does not enter into particulars,
failing to state the nature of the conces-
sions made to the conservatives or conces-
sions made to special interests. There is
no doubt that the democrats have been
putting in nearly all their time while the
defoate has been in progress in trying to
get together, and as the days have passed
the work in doing this has been rendered
less difficult, because of the fact that the
feelings of the country toward those who
stood out against the passage of a tariff
trill have been both irritable and em-
phatic. When the bill first came to the
senate there were about a half dozen dem-
ocratic senators who wanted special inter-
est in which they were personally, or their
constiuents were, interested, and these
gentlemen made no concealm<#vt of their
antagonism to the bill. Since then the
people throughout different parts of the
country have spoken, and the self-styled
conservative has become more and more
Conserative.
Whatever may be said about the matter,
■the proclamation of the Minnesota demo-
crats in arraigning Gorman, Hill, Pugh,
Camden, Brice and Oaffery had a terrible
effect. Morgan was the- first to deny that
he stood in the way of the passage of the
tariff bill. Gorman was the next to do
the same thing, though not on the floor
of the senate, and he is now working hard
to get the bill passed. In fact each one
of the men mentioned except Hill has de-
nied his antagonism to the bill. Brice now
exploits his feal-tv to It, stating that it
has been shaped to suit all democratic
elements in the senate, though he refuses
to state how it is shaped.
Oluio people say Brice has just begun
to know how his people stand, and that
his pretended opposition to the measure
all along has been nothing but a bluff to
get concessions, whether or not he got
t'hem to vote for it.
There Is a rumor, and very possibly a
correct one. that the concession has been
made to those opposing the income tax
of a limitation of the -time for which it
shall be levied. In other words, that this
tax is to be levied from five to eight years.
In the senate to-day it developed that the
Income tax is not to 'be levied on bu'ilding
associations where such associations are
co-operative and intended to build homes
for the members of the association. It
also developed that the finance committee
have about thirty-nine amendments to be
offered to the bill, but it did not develop
whether or not they were of such charac-
ter as would change items materially,
or whether they were in the line of per-
fecting the bill in -the matter of its ad-
ministration. That there are to be some
material changes is apparent, but the dem-
ocrats stoutly insist that the reduction con-
templated by the present bill will not be
interfered with by amendments.
The republicans this morning showed in
•their manner and their words* that they
felt the hardest end of the light was at
thand. Harris, leading for the democrats,
said the agreement made that the debate
should extend from 1 to 5 o'clock having
exipired, he now asked unanimous consent
that for the coming week the debate should
continue from 1 till 6. There was a lot of
wrangling over this, the republicans at-
tempting to get in the Record in as good
a light as possible before objecting, which
they finally did. This was expected, and
•Harris then said that to-morrow he would
move to carry the debate from 11 to 6
every day.
The object of Mr. Gorman's letter to
every democratic senator to be in his seat
is now seen. The evident programme of
democrats is to go on a week in this way
and gradually lengthen the time till the con-
tinuous sessions come.
There was one significant thing occurred
to-day which frightened the republicans.
Sena-tor Teller took occasion to state on
•the floor that he was ready to make a
quorum. This means that he and probably
Stewart and Dulbois, will assist the demo-
crats in making a quorum. Such assist-
ance means much, and will be given be-
cause the majority of the democrats are
their friends on the silver question and
may be needed by them hereafter. Tei'ler
!has told it on the outside that last ses-
sion he walked the floor when republicans
fought the interests of the people and now
he would not be averse to seeing them do-
ing the same thing. As far as the tariff
is concerned his people are not very large-
ly 'benefited by it anyway.
The announcement of Mr. Mills yester-
day in his speech that if he were the pre-
siding officer he would have the bill passed
in forty-eight hours, is most significant,
inasmuch as it is taken as the feeling of
the democratic side. Stevenson wants to
be the democratic nominee for the presi-
dency; this Is known to every one.
It is apparent that if a vote on this bill
is postponed three weeks, the democratic
part of the country will be in a rage. If
he should step forward at that time and
by simply refusing to recognize some re-
publican protesting against a motion to
vote on the bill, It would pass and he would
got the credit. He has the nerve to do it;
lie has thought of It, and the chances are
a hundred to one that he will do this very
thing or something else to bring on a vote
if other methods fail within three weeks.
The rapubi.cans appreciate this. They un-
derstand their victories for the past month
toave rendered the democrats that desper-
i.-.e that -the precedents and courtesies of
the senate in adbate will not stand in -their
way in finishing up this legislation.
bit"! comes up are not bright. Every large
town in the proposed new district will be
pulling the leg ol Its representative In con-
gress to get a court, and as these ate
primary election times, perhaps congress
may adjourn before final action.
THE KEARSARGE COURTMART IA L.
Washington, April 25.—In his indorsement
upon the findings of t'he court Secretary
Herbert states he reduced the sentence of
Commander Hyerman because the members
of the court recommended clemency In con-
sideration of the long and faithful service
of the officer. In Lieutenant Diekin's case
the reprimand was omitted because it was
unnecessary, the approved sentence of the
court being a substantial punishment.

TWO BRIDGE BILL'S.
Washington, April 2T».-<The home commit-
tee on commerce to-day agreed to report
favoraibly Representative Forman's bill for
a bridge over the .Mississippi river at St.
Louis, iMo., and Representative Stockdale'us
bill for a bridge over that portion of the
bay of Biloxi, Miss., known as Beck bay.
THE SENATE.
Washington, April 25.—The senate pre-
sented an appearance of calm after the
storm when the vice president took the
chair to-day. The galleries were only half
filled, while the democratic senators gave
evidence of a sense of relief that the first
step in the tariff debate was concluded,
coupled with a determination to carry on
the work. Other bills were introduced and
appropriately referred, the principal being
a bill by Senator Peffer and referred to
the committee on 'the District of Columbia,
entitled "a bill to provide work for unem-
ployed persons in the District of Colum-
bia."
The house bill to ratify the reservation of
certain lands made for the benefit of Okla-
homa was passed; also house bill to au-
thorize the St. Louis river bridge company
and the Duluth transfer railroad company
to construct a bridge over the St. Louis
river. ,
A long argument followed Mr. Harris re-
quest for unanimous consent to consider
the tariff bill from 1 to 6 each day this
week. Mr. Harris being refused unanimous
consent to thks, the proposition was put in
form of a motion, and he said it could go
over until to-morrow.
The tariff bill was then taken up to be
read by paragraphs.
Mr. Roach Lrep.] of Rhode Island spoke
against the bill when the first amendment
was reached—that fixing the date when it
should take effect. Mr. Piatt [rep.] of Con-
necticut followed on the same line of ar-
gument, enlarging upon it somewhat. Mr.
Palmer followed with a discussion of the
beneficial effects on the agricultural prod-
ucts of this country which he predicted
would follow the passage of the bill, and in
reply to a question from Mr. Aldrich, ex-
plained that this would be brought about in
one or two ways, because there would be
an increased number of consumers for our
products and also because of the exchange
of our products for those of foreign coun-
tries, brought about by free trade.
"Does not that mean," inquired Mr. Al-
drich, "that we will exchange our agricul-
tural products for the manufactured goods
of another?"
"Certainly," replied Mr. Palmer.
"And this is the reason for the amount
of manufactures we will produce?" con-
tinued Mr. Aldrich.
"I have said," replied Mr. Palmer, "that
if a demand exists in England for our
crops it is wise that the legislation of the
country should permit us to send our prod-
ucts abroad." He then went on to argue
that the McKinley law had made it neces-
sary for American workingmen to pay more
for what they used than they would under
the proposed law. This being denied, he
recalled the fact that two boys would swap
jackknives and make money, but he could
not understand how American wages could
maintain their high state without in some
way supposing that the American consumer
pays
partrnent, was signing a treaty with the
Chinese minister to nullify the act of con-
gress.
The Herman amendment was defeated—
29 to
Mr. Hepburn I rep. J of Iowa offered an
amendment providing Unit all fees of every
character, official and unofficial, collected
or received by the consuls at Liverpool,
llong Kong, Amoy, Canton, Tien Tsin,
Havre, Callao, Prague, Antwerp, Val-
paraiso, Colon, Dhin Kian, Fu Chan, Han
Ivow, Bordeaux, Belfast, Bradford, I)e-
inerra, Glasgow, Kingston, Manchester,
Vera Cruz, Matanzas, Bastlee and Monte-
video should be turned Into the treasury
and their salaries should be their sole com-
pensation.
Mr. llitt said he was in favor of the at-
tempt to correct the abuse of the fee sys-
tem, but he was not in favor of legislating
any appropriation.
Mr. Walker of Massachusetts Character-
ized the fee svstem as thievery and ap-
pealed to the democrats to stand by their
pledges to retrenchment and reform and
vote for the amendment.
Mr. Dlnsmore of Arkansas, ex-minister to
Korea, opposed the amendment {is likely to
strip the consular service of its most val-
ued members. It would not reform the
service, but would demoralize commerce.
Mr. Hooker (dean.J of Mississippi de-
clared that this amendment was designed
to break the diplomatic and consular ap-
propriation bi'll. There might be a mess in
the fee system, there might be plunder in
it for the consuls abroad, but the republi-
cans have had their plunder for thirty
years. Their spasm of virtue and economy
ill became them. As a matter of fact these
abuses, if there were any, should be cor-
rected by a general law, not by a rider on
an appropriation bill.
Mr. Post [rep.l of Illinois, who was con-
sul general at Vienna under Grant's admin-
istration, opposed the amendment.
The amendment was defeated by 35 to 127.
An amendment offered by Mr. Coombs
[dem.] of New York to increase the salary
of consul at St. Thomas from $1500 to $25u0
was lost.
At 5.30 the committee rose and the house
adjourned.
SOUTHERN INDUSTRIAL CONDITIONS.
Report of the Situation for the Week End-
ing April 23, 1894.
The Tradesman of Chattanooga, Tenn.,
in its weekly review of the Industrial situa-
tion in the south for the week ending April
23 says: The strike among the coal miners
in the Birmingham and Jellico districts of
Alabama, and Tennessee has unsettled busi-
ness for the time being. It has not proved
to be as general as was predicted, but sev-
eral thousand men have gone out of the
mines. Impartial observers believe 'that the
strike will be a short one, partly because
the demands of the strikers are considered
to be extreme, and also because there is a
lack of funds with which to support them
while out of work.
In addition to the reduction in freight
rates on iron pipe to northern points re-
cently announced, a reduction of a similar
kind has been made to southern and south
western points, to take effect May 1. It
is unfortunate that these reductions are
counterbalanced by labor troubles. As it
is claimed that fuel supplies are sufficient
for a month to come, it is hoped that an
adjustment will be made ibefore the time
expires. In other industrial lines reports
are encouraging. The effects of the cold
wave have not proved as disastrous as was
anticipated.
The Tradesman reports forty-six new in-
dustries as established or incorporated dur-
ing the week, among which are the Lee
coupling manufacturing company of San
Antonio, Tex., capital $500,000; a gold min-
ing company ait Charleston, W. Va., with
the same capital, and a $200,000 compress at
Galveston, Tex. A $75,000 barrel factory is
to be built in Memphis, Tenn., a $50,000
lumber plant at Weston, Ark., an electrical
company with $50,000 capital has been char-
tered at Hillsboro, Tex., a manufacturing
company with the same capital at Austin,
Tex., and a $25,000 fertilizer company at
Dothen, Ala.
The Tradesman also reports a canning
factory at Natchez, Miss., car works at
Gainesville, Fla., a cotton compress at
Waco, Tex., and electric ligOit companies
at Palatka, Fla., and West Point, Miss.
Knitting mills are reported at Valdese, N,
C., and Winchester. Va., iron works at
Birmingham and Oneonta, Ala., Lynch-
burg and Suffolk, Va., and mining com-
house of Mr. Jeter, living near Lake Creek,
was burned, burglarized and Mr. Jtter
•obbed of about $700.
COXiEY'S A'RJMY BUTTONS.
Baltimore Herald.
The fakirs on the streets of Baltimore
have a new trinket which they are se'.Mng
at a great rate. It is ithe "Coxey Army
Button." Some of these buttons are yel-
low and some red, w.h'l'le all of them bear
the -words "Coxey's Army" 1" distinct
•black letters.
The fad of wearing these litt.e 'catch-
pennies" is popular with lively youiths and
men who delight to adopt novelties in their
dress for the fun of arousing gayety and
comment. The 'buttons are inexpensive af-
fairs and tlveir purchasers appear ito derive
a great dead of sport from the investment
of a very few cents in them. "Coxey s
Anny Buttons" will probably be as plenti-
ful on the streets dn a day or two as are
flowers in May.

The firm wiill build at the cost of another
$1,000,000 eleven miles of railway to con-
nect their mines with the Mexican Central,
and a smelter and concentrating plant at

ITS CHANCES NOT BRIGHT.
Washington, April 25.—[Special.]—The bill
creating the Southern judicial district of
Texas, which passed the senate a few days
ago, has come to the house and is now in
the hands of a subcommittee of the ju-
diciary commdttee. Mr. Bailey is on the
subcommittee, whidh has done nothing but
ffen«aUy discuss it. However, Mr. Cooper
has been promised that when the bill is
shaped up he shall have a branch of the
court at Beaumont. The subcommittee, and
In fact the judiaiary oommlttee, are saying
very little about the measure, but to The
IsVws correspondent it looks as if many
a day Would elapse before the bill, as it
came from the senate, would pass or even
be brought before the house. The chances
of the consideration of the measure this
session are extremely remote and more-
over, the chance# of tihe readjustment of
ibe alien of the other district* when this
more for what he consumes than
others do. He discussed the relative effects
of the McKinley law and the proposed bill
on the agricultural products of the country
in detail. In answer to a charge that he
was a free trader, he defined his position
thus:
"I am a free trader in this, that ilf we did
not want revenue I would not levy taxes
for the mere purpose of protection. I would
not impose a duty unless the revenue was
needed for the wants of the country."
Mr. Dolph asserted that the McKinley law
had raised the cost of farmers' products,
mentioning ham, lard, bacon and other arti-
cles, even though this was not a declared
purpose of the bill. •
Mr. Gray asked how the workingmen
were benefited by raising the cost of ba-
con, flour and other things needed by la-
borers. while the wages to buy them were
decreased.
Mr. Hawley gave an illustration, showing
how the value of farm iands had increased
by the increase of manufacturing.
Mr. Allison offered an amendment strik-
ing out the date at which the bill should
take effect and to leave the bill blank.
Mr. Allison, after this long interruption,
resumed his remarks and asserted that 'he
had not said that the bill would pass by
June 30. He expected to aid its progress in
any way possible. But the debate here to-
day showed that if it had required an en-
tire day to discuss an amendment 1n the
first paragraph without arriving at any
conclusion, it would probably require two
days to consider -acetic acid, and when it
came to wool, iron and sugar, it would
probably require the entire summer.
Mr. Aldrich suggested an amendment that
the bill should go into effect five months
after its passage, to which Mr. Vest ob-
jected.
Mi-. Dolph gained the floor and 'began
reading from a speech by Representative
Tom Johnson in the house of representatives
on the tariff, when he was called to order
by Mr. Gray for reading and commenting
on a speech of a mem-ber of the other house
of congress who was not present to speak
for -himself.
The vice president had read Jefferson's
manual throughout, declaring it a breach of
order to notice in one house a speech made
in another, and on the same subject, in
order that the action of the members of
the two houses might be independent. The
vice president accordingly ruled as follows:
"Under -this authority the chair will hold
that It was not in order for a senator to
read a speech made In the house of repre-
sentatives." lie afterward made the ruling
more specific by adding: "On the same
question and In the same congress."
Mr. Doli>h appealed from the decision, and
Mr. Harris moved to lay -the appeal on the
table, which motion was carried by a vote
of 43 to 2.
The latter part of the day was occupied
with good natured bantering on both sides
of the chamber and by a silver speech by
Mr. Stewart, and at G o'clock the senate
adjourned on motion of Mr. Harris.
THE HOUSE.
Washington, April 25.—Mr. Hepburn [rep.]
of Iowa, after the reading of the journal
in the house to-day interposed an objection
to its approval and forced the yeas and
nays on Mr. Dockery's motion for its ap-
proval. Mr. Hepburn adhered to his deter-
mination to allow absolutely no business to
be transacted by unanimous consent until
terms were made for the consideration of
Friday night pension bills.
The Journal was approved—243 to 0.
The house went into committee of the
whole, Mr. Bailey of Texas in the chair,
and resumed the consideration of the diplo-
matic and consular appropriation bill. Mr.
CannOn of Illinois continued the role of
economist, insisting upon an explanation
of every small increase in the bill and
offering amendments to reduce the appro-
priations at every opportunity offered.
Mr. Warner moved to increase the rank
of the consul at Barcelona, Spain, to that
of consul general and the salary of $1500.
The motion was agreed to.
Mr. Herman of Oregon offered an amend-
ment to reduce the salaries of the consuls
at Amoy, Canton and Tien Tsin, China,
from $3500 to $3000. Speaking of the amend-
ment he severely criticised the treaty re-
cently negotiated by Yang Yu and Secre-
tary Gresham. That treaty, he said, was
designed to reverse the American policy of
excluding Chinese entered into in 1880. It
would permit Chinese laborers to come in
direct contravention of the exclusion laws
passed by congress.
Mr. Wilson [rep.] of Washington asserted
emphatically tfhat at the precise time when
the house was debating the bill to extend
those provisions of the Geary exclusion law
the president, in oompany with the chief
Mongolian who urertded over the ataU d«- j
panics at Aetnaville, Ky., Blue Springs and
Helenwood, Tenn. Oil mills are to be buli't
at Opelika, Ala., and Lakeland, La., a pot-
tery established at Meridian, Miss., a shoe
factory at Augusta, Ga., a sugar refinery
at Glencoe, La., and a tobacco factory at
Winston, N. C. Woodworking plants are
to be established at Bocaw, Ark., Inverness
and Jacksonville, Fla., Worth, Ga., Lan
caster, Ky., Jackson, Tenn., Sheva, Va.
and Huntington, W. Va.
The Tradesman reports two enlargements
of manufactories, three new waterworks
and twenty important new buildings, among
which are a bank at New Martlnville, W.
Va., a $150,000 office building at Nashville,
Tenn., business houses at Harmony Grove,
Ga., Greeneville, Tenn., and Houston, Tex.
a courthouse at Dublin, Ga., hotels
Fairfield and Jacksonville, Fla., and Knox

Indianapolis, Ind., April 25.—The platform
of the Indiana republicans reaffirmed its
faith in republican policies; indorsed the
late administration of ex-President Harri-
son; approved of protection and reciprocity;
denounced the democrats for their course
on the tariff and attributed to them com-
mercial disasters; favored a currency com-
posed of gold, silver and paper, readily con-
vertible at a fixed standard of value and
entirely under national control, and "we
favor the imposition of increased tariff du-
ties on the imports from all countries
which oppose the coinage of silver upon a

restore the era of wildcat money;" favored
liberal pensions by state and nation; de-
manded a rigid enforcement of immigra-
tion laws; denounced Cleveland's Hawaiian
policy, and charged him with using federal

so, my readers, if apple trees don't seem
to do well with you, and take the leaf
blight and die out, don't worry about the
root blight of cotton, but examine about
the roots of your trees, and hunt out and
kill out those nests before they kill out
your young orchard. Eternal vigilance Is
the price of success. "Westward the course
of empire takes Its way," may be said of
all diseases, insects and blights. In cold
countries the winter freezes and keeps
down these things, but in a warm country
like Texas they come to stay, and are
yearly increasing in number and variety,
and we must begin to post up on these
things and prepare to fight them and
learn how to do it, If we are to succeed,
for their ravages will be far greater here
than in colder latitudes.

KNLGIHTS OF HONOR AT TAYLOR.
Taylor, Tex., April 25.—Taylor lodge of
Knights of Honor was instituted here las
night by Grand Dictator A. J. Rosenthal of
La/Grange with a charter membership of 107
—the -largest lodge, so Dictator Rosenthal
says, ever organized in the state. Another
remarkable feature of the lodge is that the
averaige age of the membership is less than
32 years, which cuts quite a figure in bene-
ficiary assessments.
The following officers were elected:
John Threadglll, past dictator; R. L.

NACOGDOCHES NOTES.
Nacogdoches, Tex., April 24.—A finely fur-
nished livery stable has just been started
here by a Mr. Dilzell from Mansfield, La.,
making number three. It is located near
the Exchange hotel, and is stocked with
fourteen fine Missouri horses just arrived.
These horses and this stable have attracted
much local attention.
Preparations are going on for a May day
celebration -in the city park next Tuesday.
the Southern Mercury and Advance offices
remains the same. A committee of printers
called on the general manager and asked
him to reconsider 'his action- in the dis-
charge of union printers and his subsequent
refusal to re-emi>ioy them.
Mr. Park refused to grant their request.
He -told the committee that he was running
the offices and proposed to -run them in
his own way without interference, and he
proposed to hire wtaat labor he pleased in
bis own office.
Mr. J. A. Murphy of the executive com-
mittee of the printers announced there will
be no .further conferences with Mr. Park.
Mr. .Murphy said the union had expended all
of its argumentative reserve.
T'he Knights of Labor will hold a meet-
ing to take action on the situation.
ALDER90N MINERS WORKING.
(South MaAlester, I. T., April 24.—The sit-
uation of the strike at the Alderson mines
is materially changed since Sunday. Upon
a vote taken by the miners Monday they
stood 150 to 1 for work; thereupon the en-
tire force, both black and -white, returned
to work to-day. They are digging away the
same as ever.
The committee of strikers from Kretos,
finding their effort's to withdraw the Al-
derson miners unavailing, returned home,
and rumors were soon current that they
would return to their work, but there is
nothing to substantiate the statement.
Hartshorne and No. 2 are working along
at the same rate. No attempt has been
made to stop them, and feeling securely
guarded by the United States court, they
will continue working on the new schedule.
FIVE THOUSAND MAY STRIKE.
New Bedford, Mass., April 25.-One of the
greatest strikes in the history of New Bed-
ford is about to be on. At a special meet-
ing of the Wainsutta mill weavers, held
here to-night to take definite action on the
strike of xVo. 6 mill, which has been on ten
weeks, it was almost unanimously voted
to call out all weavers In the Wamsutia
corporation, and this means the throwing
out of employment of 5000 unless a compro-
mise is effected before the end of the week.
Every loom in the Wamsutta yard will be
closed Monday morning. As a result of to-
night's meeting excitement prevails in the
city.

Paris, Tex., April 25.—Parties In from
Delta county report that last night the
report -as adopted provided
rules of the Fifty-first congress as
applied by Thomas B. Reed and lately in-
dorsed by the present congress should gov-
ern."
When President Thompson arose to ad-
dress the convention he received an ova-
tion, and it was several minutes before he
could proceed. Ex-Secretary Thompson in
his speech said that his work was nearly
done—that he was no longer a boy. He
urged the state republicans to work zeal-
ously for success in November, advocated
a protective tariff and deplored the present
condition of affairs and charged it to mis-
government of the party now in power.
Pandemonium followed the appearance of
ex-President Harrison, who followed the
presiding officer. Hats and handkerchiefs
were waved and the audience arose to its
feet and cheered and cheered again. In his
speech General Harrison paid a tribute to
Presiding Officer Thompson. In opening
Mr. Harrison said:
I will not undertake this morning—It
would be inappropriate—any full discussion
of republican principles. 1 will not stand
between you and the important work which
you have assembled to do, and which
you ate eager to be about. At some time
duKng the campaign which so auspiciously
opens to-day, If It be the pleasure of my
fellow citizens, I shall <hold myself at their
service for a fuller discussion. [Great
oheering.] I can not allow, as I have
said before, that an ex-president has lost
his citizenship | laughter and -applause], nor
can I admit that a calm and temperate
discussion of great public questions is un-
dignified in any man." [Applause.]
Continuing, he discussed the tariff and
the present trouibles, saying: "The times
are full of unrest, disaster and apprehen-
sion. I believe to-day that all the tumult
of this wild sea would be stilled as by
the voice of Omnipotence if the great
industrial and commercial classes of this
country could know to-day that there
would be no attempt to strike down pro-
tection in American legislation." [Ap-
plause.]
He believed -in .the use of silver through
an international agreement, and in clos-
ing General Harrison said: "Every man,
I have always contended, had a right to
seek office, and that a president had no
right to complain that his time was some-
what occupied In attending to them [ap-
plause]; but there is one condition that
goes with all this that must not be for-
gotten. When a man has honorably, ear-
nestly, by appeal to his friends or to the
appointing power, sought a nomination and
failed, he is altogether to be reprobated
if lie carries his grievance 'home with
him and distracts the party, so in ad-
vance I appeal to this large body who
are to be disappointed to-day to put them-
selves at the front dn cheeiiing for their
more fortunate competitors."
Balloting for candidates was then pro-
ceeded with, and the first ballot was taken
for secretary of state. There were no
nominating speeches. There were five can-
didates, Aaron Jones of South Bend, W.
D. Owen of Logansport. J. E. Watson of
Rush ville, M. R. Sulaer of Madison and
Jasper Packard of New Albany.
Of Marion county's 130 votes thirty-six
went to Watson, the largest any one candi-
date received.
For the state offices there were forty-flve
candidates. Each nomination was a battle,
and the ticket as a whole is a victory for
the Harrison republicans. The "old ticket"
men's nominees two years ago were de-
feated with one exception, F. J. Scholz
of Evansville being nominated for state
treasurer. The younger element was
knocked out, and the old soldier got but
meager representation. The ticket nom-
inated is as follows:
Secretary of state: W. D. Owen, Logans-
port.
Auditor: A. C. Dalley, Lebanon.
Treasurer: F. .1. Scholz, Evansville.
Attorney General: W. A. Ketcham, In-
dianapolis.
The Patriot Soldiers Who Did Service Be-
fore and After 1837.
Waco, Tex., April 20.—To The New«: As
you kindly published my letter calling at-
tention to the discrimination of railroads
against a portion of the men who rendered
military service against the Mexicans and
hostile Indians in establishing and main-
taining the republic of Texas before an-
nexation, I venture to ask you to publish
this statement for the information of the
railways, as well as others who may feel
some interest in knowilng what proportion
of the Texas veterans who attended this
veteran meeting rendered military service
since 1837 and were discriminated against
by the roads, as well as to give a correct
idea of the service t'hey rendered.
This is our business day, and most, but
not all, of the veterans are here, and
consequently this showing is fairly cor-
rect. On a direct call in an open business
meeting for all present who were In the
battle of San Jacinto or on imilitary duty
that day to stand up, twelve stood up
and were counted. On another call for all
who had performed military service be-
fore that time to stand up, twelve stood
up and were counted, making -twenty-
four who had rendered military
service -before 1837. On a third call for all
Oo stand up who had performed military
service from that time up to annexation,
and who had participated in battles against
the Mexicans or hostile Indians, or who
wore in campaigns against them in which
•bo<th men fought, twmity-flve stood up and
were counted, making one more of the
latter class than wore of both the other
classes, and moist, if not all, of these had
participated in one battle, while some of
them had participated In from one to ten
battles. I knew one of them, who had been
ih two battles with Mexicans and four
with hostile Indians, and had, after firing
seven rifle shots at ordinary range at run-
ning Indians without defimite results, killed
one Indian with u rifle »s.hot at a distance
of fifteen or twenty paces and two others
with belt pistols in hand to hand contest
in the open prairie In the presence of three
other comrades, each one of whom dis-
patched one Indian in like manner, but
with different arms, one with a -holster
pistol and the other two with 'their
rifles, 'having no pistols iln 'one battle.
Then, again, several of these men were
either Santa Fe prisoners, -Mier prisoners,
or survivors of Dawson's massacre, who
not only fought for the independence of
Texas but suffered In prison and chains for
her cause. Yes, the noble, gallant men who
fought and won the memorable, glorious
battle of San Jacinto laid the foundation
of the republic of Texas, while others
fought, suffered and bled In building upon it,
and when each did his duty In this great
work it seems unjust to show partiality to
one and discriminate against another. I
know that railroads have been imposed
upon to a very limited extent by some few
persons who have claimed credit for more
than th.ey were and are entitled to, ibut we
must expect tills until poor human nature
becomes more perfect. But good and true
men should not be held responsible for the
acts of the corrupt and mean.

SMALLPOX CLOSED IT.
St. Louis. Mo., April 25.—Because of tha
prevalence of smallpox at Madison, 111.,
the management of the race track there to-
night decided to close up and run the re-
maining four days' racing at the East St.
Louis track. About two weeks ago a case
of smallpox was discovered among the
track employes at Madison, and as a num-
ber of cases have since developed from that
one It was thought best by the management
to take this action to prevent the disease
from spreading.

GRAFTS AND STOCKS.
Importance of Having the Stock Grow as
Fast as the Graft.
H. B. Hellyer in Texas Farm and Ranch.
A good friend took me to his orchard
few days ago to see what was causing
his trees to die out. He feared the root
blight was taking them off and that per-
haps the soil he had selected for his or-
dhard was defective by reason of this
poison in the soil.
His peach trees, planted last fall, had
made a fine growth, -but in July some of
them began to die. His apple trees were
going 'the same waiy, and -he had about
concluded that this was "no apple country"
, phrase often -heard all over Texas. We
found his orchard of about 200 trees, ex-
cept a few dead and dying ones, was look-
ing as well as could be expected this dry
year. Singularly, the dead trees were all
In two short rows, and every one of these
were dead or dying. We dug up several of
•these trees that were still alive and some
that were dead. We found that they were
every one on Marlanna stocks, that the
peach graft had nearly doubled the size
of the plum stock, and 'that 'the plum
stocks had died first. In some of the
trees where the leaves were wilted but
not fallen off the plum stock was dead
and of a dark brown color, while the graft
above was still full of sap and green.
Every tree in his orchard thgt was on
Marlanna stocks was dead or dying, while
every one on the peach stocks is alive
and doing well. These are facts from
which we may reasonably deduce the fol-
lowing opinions:
1. The plum stock, being of slower
growth, a closer grained wood, with thin-
ner bark and smaller petal is not at all
suitable as stocks upon which to graft
the peach. The stock ought always to be
of more rapid growth than the graft.
2. The roots all dying first seems to
teach that the sap operated on by the or-
gans in the peach graft was not of a char-
acter to sustain and grow the plum stock
below, and hence the thousands of such
trees sent out by our nurseries all over
the state ought of right to be sold under
a full guarantee by the nurseryman, for
while I am sure the nurserymen of Texas
are all honest men, it is their interest
and duty to protect their patrons, for
when a man buys a young tree he wants
to eat of its fruit in years to come, and
expects his nurseryman to furnish him
trees that will fruit. No nurseryman has
the moral right to send out a new thing
until he has fully tested its value. The
ease and facility with which Marlanna
stocks can be grown has induced their
extensive use by nurserymen as a stock
upon which to grow all stone fruit.
But my friend's apple trees were dying
with the leaf blight. We dug up all the
dead and dying ones, and in every case
they were literally eaten up with the
borer. So my friend took courage and set
up a general looking after the other apple
.trees, as w«U 1U» 2>each and plum tree#:
BEARS AND CATS.
A Big Thicket Farmer Wants Bounty for
Their Scalps.
Hook's Switch, Tex.—To The News: I
live down in the lower end of the Big
Thicket, in Hardin county, a little back of
the backwoods, and don't know much, but
what little 1 do know 1 know mighty well.
There is one question I want you to agi-
tate until something is accomplished. We
have a territory here about six miles wide
and about thirty miles long, known as the
Big Thicket, that is well stocked with black
bear and wild oats. We want a law enacted
that will give us $5 for bear scalps and $1
each for cat scalps. Such a law enforced
for five years would rid th'i« thicket of the
terrible pests. Then in five years more the
hog products of th'is county would be im-
mense. Millions of bushels of acorns annu-
ally are lost on account of these wild ani-
mails, for a hog knows better than to poke
his head into the -main thicket.
Only think for a moment—$17,000,000 of
hog products imported into Texas in 1893.
Texas should raise her own meat. By so
doing our circulation would be greatly in
creafed, about which there is so much
racket.
I have been getting about one-fourth of
the pigs I market at the age of 2 years old
here for the last twenty years. Five dol-
lars for bear scalps would stimulate men to
keep a good pack of dogs and follow them.
One old bear will catch more hogs than
every hog thief in the country. Fr/\*i this
you will see that something ought to and
probably can be done in this matter.

WANTED SHANGHAI ROOSTERS.
Globe-Democrat.
After he had sent 22,000 packages of gar-
den and flower seed through the lengths
of his boot-shaped district, Congressman
Hoard of the Seventh Missouri thought he
had done pretty well. But he got a letter
from one of the favored farmers. Mr.
Hoard's constituent thanked him for the
seeds and then proceeded to say that he
would like to have a few pairs of real
Shanghai roosters, as there were none in
his neighborhood that could be purchased,
and he was sure that their introduction
there would ultimately result in a benefit
to the entire country. He had no doubt
that the department of agriculture could
supply the chickens and he Wanted large,
fine ones.
IRREGULAR ELECTIONS.
Orange, Tex.—To The News: Why can
not a mode or way be devised to obviate
the necessity of called elections for local
option or other questions? Why not have
laws allowing such elections to be held
along with our general elections? Let it be
made possible that any county could hold
such elections then and only then by peti-
tion of voters as now.
Much exoense and useless excitement
could be eliminated. And then no question
should be opened and agitated oftener than
once in two years. J AS. B. SE ARGENT.
