and stand for Its integrity and glory,
ithis exquisite pereonlfloa'tlon of unfit-
ness in the gruibernatoffiial office chooses
to improve the occasion to 'the utmost
In essay to stir up strife, to keep danger
alive, to propagate morbid forebodings,
to cultivate incivism and to Incite sedi-
tion against a form and embodiment of
constituted authority that must be main-
tained as the sheet anchor alike of po-
li'tloal union and of constitutional lib-
erty for country and people. As for the
people of Texas in this last exhibition of
their governor they are merely suffer-
ing in logical sequence one of (he penal-
ties for the exaltation t'hey have given
■him. They have been guilty of him and
he has duly brought on their punishment
In shame and confusion. But now that
he stands finally revealed to them, his
power for mischief with his term of
office is rap'dly drawing to its close. In-
cendiary agitators in high office will
have their day. Even the rioters and
plunderers whom these pestilent teach-
ers have misled and incited will ulti-

to them with a reign of peace and law.
The only men in the nation who need
have troublesome apprehensions and
gloomy forebodings to 'load them down
are the anarchists, the dynamiters, the
mob desperadoes and the demagogues
who make a trade of fomenting danger-
ous agitation, organizing civil insecurity
and plotting treason against a govern-
ment of law and liberty, of Justice and
civilization.
As a rule men have had ito hustle to get
a living in all ages and countries. The
man who persuades tihe'm that they do
not have to do this, and that the govern-
ment or somebody else owes to tihem 'the
comforts and luxuries of life, is either a
fool or a demagogue.
as the state militia has. Intelligent citi-
zens all reoognlze this fact. There are
federal troops in Texas to-day, amd they
have been here from the first. They be-
long here.
About the beat Wring a state government
like that of Colorado could do would be to
get out of the way.
The News has itold the people plainly
just what Governor Hogg had in htm. His
recent untimely bluster is simply an un-
answerable evidence that The News cor-
rectly diagnosed his dangerous inwardness.
The sooner the state rids itself of this
costly incubus the better for (both its credit
and its peace.
The arbitration that some people are
clamoring for is merely a sop.
Citlizens of Tyler are taking a great in-

A GOVERNOR'S INCENDIARY ERUP-
TION.
In a public career of phenomenal tu-
multuousness the governor of Texas
early acquired and easily maintained a
rare eminence of refute for being noth-
ing if not sensational. Up to the time
of his unspeakably shocking address to
the Texas volunteer guard on Wednes-
day last his only formidable rival in the
spectacular drama of sensational official-
ism was Governor Walte of Colorado
and of ''blood to the briddle-bit" fame.
Now/it may be justly claimed that the
* governor of Texas has eclipsed rivalry
in sensational performance. At the same
time he has done this in a way that
promises if persisted in to earn for him
a just pre-eminence of repute for being
nothing if not incepdiary and seditious.
Note In witness these lurid passages in
his latest deliverance:
I do not know how soon It will come or
how It will end, but this strike Is but the
preliminary of terrible times in this coun-
try. The conflic. is bound to come, and
unless a change Is made those fourteen-
story buildings in Chicago will be bespat-
tered with blood, brains, hair, hides, livers
and lights, and the horrors of the French
revolution will be repeated two-fold.
You all know that a few days ago fed-
eral troops were ordered into Illinois with-
out being called for by the governor of
that state. This Is the first time that this
has been done since 1860. and ] regard It
us a fatal blow to state rights. It is awful
to contemplate, and Is the precursor of dire
calamity. As soon as I returned home
from my northern trip I wired to head-
quarters that 1 would not tolerate the call-
in® out of federal 'troops in this state until
/ T had been first consulted. In times of
• trouble I mean to try the power of the
civil authorities first, and until they fail
the military power shall not be called on
In Texas. Whenever they try i't I'll be
there to stop them, and, by gatlins, I'll
stick to my ground. I see before me now
some of the generals who will be called
upon to lead the ho3ts, whose business it
will be to defend the stars and stripes
when the troubles come, not here, but
further north and east, and I have faith
,in your nerve and patriotism, but when
'the row comes and if disintegration should
come I am in favor of Texas standing on
the constitution of 1836 and going it alone
as a republic again. I am for Texas first,
the United States second and civilization
at large next. The press dispatches tell
us this morning that a distinguished jurist
signified his approval of that construc-
'«r of the constitution which sees no
<iarm in the hurling of federal 'troops
across states without regard to the wishes
of the civil authorities. Let me tell you that
this kind of constitutional construction is
the digging of the mine which will hoist
this government off its base, and though
the order to Invade Illinois was given by
a democratic president, who Is the chief
of the party to which I belong, my spirit
revolts at it. My heart sickens at the
thought of the consequences. Many of you
will remember that in looking ahead I
predicted some time ago that we would
within the year see California, Colorado,
Illinois and possibly New York under mar-
tial law, and it has come to pass. And
now, gentlemen, mark my words when I
say that a storm is brewing which will
shake this country to Its very base, and
that the glorious emblem of our country
will trail in the blood of Its citizens If
state lines are not respected.
If this is not an eruption of sedltlous-
jiess and incendiarism in spirit and pro-
clivity, then language and conception
are beggared for a definition of these
things. By the side of the author's
boorighness in manner and truculence
in matter Debs and Sovereign appear
moderate and scholarly, Pennoyer loses
•his aspect of barbarism and ferocity,
and Peffer acquires an air of blandest
dignity. It is not known that Johann
Most has fired off for the entertainment
of a bewhiskered and blear-eyed crowd
of imported anarchists up some dark
alley a more flagrant insult to the patri-
otic, intelligent and conservative peo-
ple of the country than is conveyed in
the present effusion. It is a document
that sweats with violent suggestiveness
of treasonable conspiracy. At a time
when all right thinking people realize
that everything possible should be said
to allay bitter feeling and to make fur
peace; under circumstances which should
Incline any person in high and respon-
sible office to forego inflammatory rhet-
oric and prophecies of evil; before an
audience whose patriotic young hearts
should have been cheered and strength-
ened with reasons why they should
love their country—their whols country—
PRESIDENT CLEVELAND TO
RESCUE OF PRINCIPLE.
It may seem almost superfluous to say
that the stand taken by President Cleve-
land for tariff reform Is the right thing.
That is a matter so obvious it will meet
the assent even of the protectionist, who
enn have no consideration for political
perfidy, and who must recognize that the
president's letter embodies a faithful
statement of some relevant principles of
the party to which Mr. Cleveland ad-
heres, and of which, indeed, he is the
leader. As to the decorum of the pro-
ceeding it is onl/ necessary to look at the
recreant attitude of the senate and the
hesitation of the house. Mr. Reed may
sneer, and they have given him some
ground, but so much the more reason, if
they have, that the democratic leader
should Intimate what the principles of
the party require and encourage the
faithful In the house to Ftand to their
guns. The News feels glad to record
this determination. It makes sure that
the house will set its seal to its work
and that the rynlcal quasi democratic
opposition of the few senators who make
the obstacle and plead it with a demand
for surrender will soon be confronted
with the full responsibility of the situa-
tion—one of their owni originating. It
does something to relieve the strained
feelings of tariff reformers to know that
a firm position has been taken. There
need be no fear of the effects being
worse in case of a defeat of the bill by
Gorman et al. than if passed in the mu-
tilated form proposed toy the senate.
In the latter form it would fulfill no
pledge and satisfy no reform opinion, so
in the worst event it is the case of a
manly defiance of Intellectual assassi-
nation in preference to acquiescence
therein.
The dangers of the strike are now over
and the demagogue thinks he may safely
proceed 'to use it in his business.
The timid fellow wiho waits for oppor-
tunities to present themselves will die a
pessimist.
Do not despise a man because he has
uome meanness In him, for in doing so you
condemn yourself.
There is safety in ^elf-reliance.
No young man ever drew an idea out of
a cigarette.
Most people contract their own currency.
Man should feel very grateful over a
great many of his failures.
It is a situation rather than a pooltion
that the modern young man needs.
STATE PRESS.
What the Papers Throughout the State Are
Talking About.
HAWAII A REPUBLIC.
The provisional government of Hawaii
did not endure until annexation to the
United States because annexation did
not occur as designed. A brief cable-
gram states that a republic has been
proclaimed with Dole as president. As
this does not indicate an election it may
be that the republic is not much different
as yet from another provisional govern-
ment, but of course it will Include some
provision for representation of at least
some classes of the people in Hawaii,
but it will be a surprise if t'he new re-
public rests upon universal suffrage. If
it does the provisionals have stultified
thc-mselves or surrendered their doctrine
for a lease of office on a new basis. The
wire or steamship will shortly give more
information on the subject. The condi-
tion of Hawaii as reported has pointed
to some change as being necessary and
speculative opinion credited Dole with
the qualities necessary to steer with the
current rather t'han be overwhelmed by
It. The change, whatever It be, under
the designation of republic, can not leave
Hawaii further than It has been under
the provisional government from the
ideal of a territory fit for Incorporation,
into the United States; but the title of
republic might furnish a plea to over-
reach the common sense of the American
public on the side of sympathy of Ideas.
The question of the hour about Hawaii
seems to be, in Washington, free sugar.
Governor Hogg seems to have lcet all
hope of .hopping Into President Cleveland's
Shoes, so he is Inclined to cut Texas off
and run a republic of his own. He de-
clares that a <3torm is brewing, feat the
row Is at hand, and then adds: "When
the row comes, and if disintegration should
come, I am in favor of Texas standing on
the constitution of 1836 und going it alone
as a republic again. I am for Texas first,
the United States second and civilization
at large next." Think of the governor of
the state at this time pouring rot of this
kind into the ears of the young men of
Texas! Maybe, however, Governor Hogg
expects the ticket will be Altgeld and
Hogg.
O, for some of t'he old-fashioned common
sense and self-reliance of our grandfathers.
If Governor Hogg, Governor Walte, Gov-
ernor Altgeld and others of their stripe
will enforce the laws of their states they
need not fear any invasion by the federal
authorities.
Let every good man preaoh peace and
talk common sense.
Conspiracies that tie up and deplete a
oountry are like the faJtal moths that tie
up and starve out the busiest and richest
bees.
Give your patriotism some exercise every
day.
The federal government for its lawful
Duroosea has suite as much right in Texas
The lumber market In Texas Is depressed,
but will rally with the general resumption
of business. The Denlson Herald notes
these facts:
The United States sends lumber to every
country on the globe, and while in the
many lands the market is virtually con-
trolled by the shippers of this country,
there are still numerous possibilities of
increased salts. It Is astonishing to learn
that nearly all of the building lumber im-
ported by Africa conies from the United
States; that Japan buys It and no other
lumber enters South American ports. In
•Samoa they pay 4 cents a foot for rough
Oregon pine an 1 'California red wood, and
Hawaii, by letting In American lumber
free of duty and charging the Canadians
10 per cent ad valorem, virtually prohibits
the importation of the bitter. Consul Mills
at Honolulu reports that all the timber
used there comes from the United Slates,
and that It amounts to IS,000,000 feet an-
nually.
San Auguslir.e News:
Old man I'ai Titrnan, down at Galveston,
appears to be made of the right kind of
stuff. He says he can take care of any
lawlessness in his county.
T'he Fjrt Worth Mail says: •
This strike has cost the United States
government $1,000,000. It has probably c„st
the diiieiiMit state:: twice as much, and the
city of Ohicag'j, which will have to pay
for the property destroyed, will fare well
if it gets off with ?2,500,000. It is said to
have cost the Southern Pacific railroad
JCOO.UOO a lay from June 26, and other roads
will suffer as much. The strikers them-
selves suffer heavily in the loss of time,
and others who were thrown out of work
by tne stopping of industry will be exten-
sive losers. Fruit growers have nJt es-
caped, as their fruit has perished in the
garden or orchard by the carload for want
,,f transportation. It ts doubtful -If any-
body in the country has escaped its baleful
t'fert.
Houston Press:
The horticultural meeting plainly proves
thai almost any and all varieties of good,
wholesome fruit and vegetables can be rais-
ed in Texas twelve months in the year in
any size, shape, form and color. It proves
that we soon will have no longer to go
outside for Havana tobacco when we can
raise it in Montgomery; yes, in every coun-
ty in Texas. That hops grow of the best
quality around Willis, and that peas and
other plants which fertilize the ground and
furnish Immense amounts of food grow
here most spontaneously. That any
amount of apples, pears, plum3, etc., are
raised In Texas, and that the orange grove
will in future adorn south Texas It was
a complete failure to induce the good work-
ing men of Galveston to Join the strikers.
Men w ho accept (3000 of the laborers' hard-
earned money to order them out to strike
deserve to be prosecuted The Press is
glad that congress is about to make addi-
tional appropriations tor Galveston and Sa-
bine Pass, where the money is badly
neaded.
The Corpus Chrlstl Caller says of the ed-
itor of the Austin Statesman:
Uncle Joey Miller can be as gentle as a
lamb when he wishes to and just the re-
verse when he is not In the humor. With
all his faults, however, we love him still,
for we know that Uncle Joey's heart is in
the right place, and that his little spells of
ill nature are only temporary and always
pass quickly away.
No use to repeat the cry of the soldiers
at the state encampment, "Are you mad?
wait a minute?" to the editor of the States-
man. 'His editorials are calm and judi-
cious.
Houston Press:
Galveston has a mayor and a sheriff
of which uhe has reason to be proud.
Their courageous, timely action prevented
the criminal classes, the agitators and loaf-
ers to get their work in and the law ruled
supreme. The strikers and their allies,
sympathizers, etc., should feel thankful to-
day that they so narrowly escaped a very
violent 'handling. The Texas people are
quiet, law abiding and brave, but if they
begin to clean out the sou in of the north,
east and west which has been sent down
here to undermine 'the happiness of the la-
borers and mechanics there is no telling
what the consequences will be. The Press
predicted years ago that the good, honest
workingmen would have to rise and drive
the loafers, scum and criminal classes
from this territory, but It hopes that the
enereetic actiion of the executive officers
of Texas will be sufficient to make the
operation of the anarchists and socialists
In Texas an Impossibility and thus pro-
tect the bucket brigade In their honest at-
tempt to make an honest living and pro-
vide for themselves and those depending
upon them for a home and support.
Corpus Chrlstl Caller:
"Braying is necessary to the life of a
jackass," says the Karnes City Reformer,
and in the very next breath It shouts to
the laboring men to "Strike! Strike!!
Strike!!!" Whether or not braying is nec-
essary to the life of a jackass, it is evi-
dent that he does it,
San Antonio Express:
Governor Hogg continues to improve.
But a few weeks ago, when Preye's hobos
took possession of the Southern Pacific
trains, he said It was not the duty of
the state to protect trains, Now he says
the state will see to It that the trains are
not interfered with. We felt sure his ex-
cellency could not long read the Express
and remain an anarchist.
Velasco World:
Mr. Cleveland in his letter to Governor
Altgeld says more In fewer words than
any otlher man could have possibly writ-
1 ten. Every day the people of the country
are beginning to realize that Mr. Cleveland
v is a great man.
The Alvin Journal says:
Hitchcock is about the only town in the
coast country that does not aspire to
■something important In the commercial
world. No one ever heard of a boom at
Httohcock, 'but still the town and sur-
rounding country continue to grow and

The genuine Texas veteran and hero.
Colonel John S. Ford, takes the role of
Old Mortality and corrects some of the
false statements that are putting the true
history of Texas In the ahade-a task that
will keep the old soldier and writer busy
for the balance of his life If he under-
takes to set all such sensational stories
night. He takes up the story Imputed to
Rev. W. G. Slaughter, 83 years of age.
The colonel fills a column and a half of
fine print with the errors and romance of
the story he criticises. He ends by saying:
After having taken some pains to an-
swer the many mistakes and absurdities
of Mr. Slaughter the writer had reference
to the published rolls of the army at han
Jacinto and does not find the name of G.
W. Slaughter as an officer or a member
of any company then on duty.
El Paso Times:
■After a duel In Mexico it is usual to con-
gratulate the successful combatant, but a
dispatch from Saitillo says: "Romano
Guerra and II. T Linton, '-he latter an
American engineer, fought a duel with
pistols in the it'owin of Sunipa, southwest
of here. Guerra was fatally wounded and
Linton fled to escape arrest, The duel
was the result of a quarrel over a girl.
Guerra is a prominent merchant."
The 'Del Rio Record «aays: "Senor Luis
Aguayo has closed a contract far dam-
ming the Rio Grande near the Muizqulz
oro'ssing, above Dal Rio, and the ditching
and irrigating of his immense estates in
Coahaila, opposite Dei Rio. The contract-
ors already 'have about 500 men at work."
To be ar not to be. The San Antonio
Express says:
A qulat tip lias been given the Express
that the projectors of the Great Southern
railroad will decide tills week whsitiher
to break dirt or 'allow the scheme to joiln
the angels; that they are, in fact, tired of
waiting for Rexair county o put up the
bonus asked for and are making the last
ring in the dining oar. We must talk t'o
the question now or forever after hold
our peace. For years past Sin Antonio 'has
been praying for a railroad that wou'ld
penetrate the 'lower couintis of southwest
Texas. She has talked over the benefits
that would accrue to her Ci -m such a road
and t'lme and again has exweseed a will-
ingness to give substantid aid to such
a project. At last a. propo- iicn was made
that if Bexar county ..ould pint up
$100,000 such a road will be built and
equipp, 1 and that the sh ps and general
ofiici'S will be located in Antonio. After
weeks of wanting something more than
half the bonus has been subscribed, and
there the matter stands. What are we
going to do about it? The tide is at the
flood. Will we take It, or will we sit on
a stump aind see it recede? The day ha.3
gone by whan great cities come into ex-
istence as To-psy did. \v- have got to
hustle or see such railroad building towns
as Font WWii and Houston walk away

better.

If there are any strikers in Chicago who
think that President Cleveland can not
send an armed force there sufficient to deal
with any body of sympathizers that they
might call together they have but to
glance over the statistics of the national

the country under arms. In addition to
this force there are in the different states
112,190 men enlisted In the national guard

Woodviiie Eureka:
Confusion, riot, bloodshed and anarchy
stare the government in the face. Many
lives have already been sacrificed, millions
of dollars worth of uroperty have been de-
stroyed "by the torch of the Incendiary,
and the red flag of the anarchist has been
flaunted in our faces and thrown to the
breeze in Christian law-abiding America.
The time for action has come. The con-
stitution and the law of the land must be
maintained. The lives and property of
American citieens must be protected and
the flag of anarchism must be torn into
pieces, and its fragments sunk Into the
ocean or scattered to the winds of heaven
to be borne back to the foreign shores
whence they originated. If the armies of
the United States are insufficient to cope
with the anarchist flag or any other flag
that defies the stars and stripes there are
enough veterans even of the stars and
bars yet left who, together with their vol-
unteer sons, In this hour of their republic's
peril, will stand by it and will fight for it,
and will protect at ail hazards their home,
their flag and their country,
Elgin Courier:
From accounts given by soldiers who par-
ticipated In the interstate drill at Little
Rock last week, the Texas companies did
not get a ghost of a show. They say the
Sealys of Galveston should have had first
money in the Interstate and the Gov-
ernor's guards first in the maiden drill.

DAY-GLOBE.
Suspension Due to the Continued 111 Health
af Mr. A. R. McCU'llum.
Waco, Tex., July 20.—The Day-Globe lias
suspended publication and will miss its
issue to-tmorrow morning. The failure is
the result of the continued ill health of Mr.
A. R. McCuilum, the proprietor, coupled
with hard times which reduced the earn-
ings of the paper below the cost of getting
it out. The Day-Globe is the successor of
the two papers whose naimes are hyphen-
ated into the name cf the paper which
died with its issue of this morning. Mr.
McCullum was the founder of both the Day
and the Globe. The Day was started in
1883 as an afternoon paper. In 1887, at the
demise of the lCxaminer, the Day became
the morning paper of Waco, and had been
published continuously ever since.
There are many rumors current about
the coming morning paper, but nothing
definite is known, although the impression
prevails that a syndicate is ready to es-
tablish a p.ant at Waco for the publication
of a morning paper. The News reporter
called on Mr. M'ciCullum. He said: "I do
not feel like talking to-night, but may
make a .statement to-morrow for The
News."
TEXAS IS SET RIGHT.
The Cause for the Sensational Predictions
Exists Only in the Imagination of
the Chief Executive.
A GUN PLAY.
An Exchange of Bullets at Fort Worth.
No One Hurt.
Fort Worth, Tex., July 20.—Shortly before
12 o'clock to-night a stranger entered Hol-
land's summer garden, corner Twelfth and
Jon£<3 streets. He was decidedly devoted
in his attentions to Miss Audrey Clifford,
an employe. The paill* had several bottile.j
of beer together. The stranger when pre-
sented with the Mil declined to foot it. A
colloquy between tho woman and stranger
ensued. The former started off and t'he
latter pumued her. The woman was in
the act of entering the auditorium of the
theater when the stranger pulled a pistol
and fired two shots at her. While the
object of the stranger's wraith escaped un-
hurt. Jim Mil,jr. a spectator of the- per-
formance, was shot through tlhe leg, be
tween the knee and thigh, and painfully
injured. The stranger fled. Officer Frank
Bryant pursued him and opened Are upon
him, which was promptly returned. Two
bullets whizzed by Bryant's head, but
missed him by a scratch. The shooMst
disappeared in the darkness. Later c-n his
hat was found In an alley with a bullet
hole yquarely through it.
FOOD OF THE DEAD.
Lettuce was deemed by tho ancients the
ifood of the dead, because when Adonis,
the beloved of Venus, was mortally
wounded by a wild boar, the weeping god-
dess laid him upon a bed of soft and ten-
der lettuces, whose milky juices possesses
soothing and narcotic qualities. Lettuces
were eaten by, the ancients at the close of
their repasts, as from their cooling quali-
ties they were considered antidotes of tha
heating effects of wine. The bitter herbs
which the Jews ate at the passover were
wild lettuce succory, tansy, chamomile and
dent-de-llon, and this same race are the
inventors of the salad compounded of oil,
vinegar, sugar, salt ajid mustard to render
the bitter herbs palatable. The Irish two
centuries ago made their salads of sorrel,
wood sorrel and beet chopped with vine
gar, beer and a little sugar, but no oil,
salt or mustard. Readers of classic history
will remember how lettuce caused tho
cruel death uf Cambyses, king of Persia
and Media, and of his consort, who also
was his sister.

Dallas, Tex., July 20.—The Dallas com-
mercial club to-night unanimously adopted
the following resolutions:
Dallas, Tex., July 20, 1894.—Whereas It
has come to the knowledge of this club
through the public prints that his excel-
lency, James S. Hogg, governor of this
great commonwealth, has given u'tteranco
to language that smacks of demagogism
and sensationalism and that too in the
presence of the soldiery of our state in
training camp at Austin during the recent
encampment held there, and
Whereas sufficient time has elapsed for a
denial of the published reports but none
has been made, and the language of the
chief executive in his aforesaid speech is
calculated to mislead and deceive the peo-
ple of this country as to the character of
our clltlzens and soldiery, and It Is neces-
sary to correct such false Impressions sure
to result by a perusal of the inflammatory
■words used by the governor; therefore be
it
Resolved, by the commercial club of the
city of Dallas, Tex.,
1. Thait we can detect no reason what-
ever for the prediction of the coming of
national calamities in the shape of civil
war or successful anarchy as set forth by
the governof, bu't on the contrary we have
every reason to rely implicitly upon and
believe in the paltitotism that exists in the
breasts of our citizens, both native and
naturalized, from Maine to California and
from the lakes to the guif, laborer and
capitalist alike, to become a guarantee thait.
the dignity of the law shall be maintained
and the authorities upheld.
2. That the threait ol' our chief executive
to lead an onslaught against the federal
authorities, should they attempt to aid
the citizen soldiery in an etfort to protect
the lives and property of our people from
the attacks of lawless mobs and rioters, or
even to try to preserve the dignity of the
federal court and to carry ouit its decrees
and protect the property of the national
government is a menace to our free insti-
tutions and unworthy of the consideration
of lovers of law and order.
3. That we but voice the sentiments of
our whole people when we say that tho
state and national governments shall be
maintained and that the laws shall be en-
forced and that life, liberty and property
shall be protected at all hazards.
4. That under all circumstances the gov-
ernor and other state offleere should pre-
serve peace and protect property, but that
in cases where they fail or hesitate to do
so then ft Is the duty of all citizens to as-
sist the general government In doinrr so.
6. That we condemn any citizen of Texas
lettering sentiments that place our people
in a false light before the world by In-
timating that we would for a moment hes-
itate to preserve our great republic at the
sacrifice, If necessary, of our lives; or that
we have any idea that a necessity will
ever arise for us to withdraw from our
great sisterhood of states.
C. That we emphatically take issue with
the governor when he boldly asserts that
"A storm Is now brewing that will se> our
glorious stars and stripes trail in 'the blood
of our citizens, and that the horrors of tha
French revolution will be repeated two-
fold;" and we submit that such communis-
tic talk and prophecies are certain to do
incalculable harm 'to the financial and in-
dustrial Interests of this great state, and
should meet with prompt and decisive con-
demnation at the hands of our citizens gen-
erally; nnd we assert that the cause for
the prediction of such sensational occur-
rences exists only in the imagination of
our chief executive.
7. That in view of the numerous contro-
versies between wage earners and em-
ployes we earnestly request our statesmen
to, If possible, frame and pass such state
and national laws as will protect employer
anl employe alike to the end that justice
will be done to all; and the causes for dis-
content being removed strikes may then
become thing3 of the past.
CONDEMN THE SPEECH.
Palestine, Tex., Ju'.y 20.—Governor Hogg's
speech at Austin on the 18th instant has
astounded his friends here. Many openly
denounce his utterances, wh'iie others are
more charitable and declare that his speech
is an enigma, while his enemies are clam-
orous In their disapproval of it. One of the
oldest citizens here, who has been the
governor's warm friend and stanch sup-
porter, said to the News reporter this
morning: "I am astonished that the gov-
ernor should vaunt such unwholesome ideas
at -this time. Even if they were his con-
scientious ideas, there, was no necessity
for parading them upon that occasion. It
was a regular secession speech, and every
true, patriotic American citizen will con-
demn it. Cleveland's interference with the
internal affairs of Illinois, under the condi-
tion of affairs, was proper and right—was
the test of his patriotism and wen for
him the admiration of all true American
citizens. I regret that Governor Hogg
m'ide this speech. He had just returned
from a trip through the east and north
and his friends felt proud of the happy
manner in which he handled himself, and
his enemies were beginning to speak
kindly O'f him and admire his greatness,
but this speech will excite more unfavora-
ble comment, both by friend and foe, than
any that has ever been made in Texas."
A STEM WINDER.
Houston, Tex., July 20.—iA News reporter
made his usual visit to the office of J. M.
Lee, superintendent of the southern divis-
ion of the Houston and Texas Central
railroad, this evening in search of railroad
information. He found Superintendent Lee
In, and in reply to a question he said:
"No, I have nothing concerning railroads
to give out to-day, but can say for me that
The News' editorial this morning anent
Governor Hogg's wild speech in Austin last
Wednesday, though short, was a 'stem
winder,' and will go far toward educating
the people and preventing lawlessness in
this state in the future."
OVERDOSE OF MORPHINE.
Dallas, Tex., July 20.-Sidney Legros,

OCHILTREE FOR CONGRESS.
Major M. T. Handy at present located In
New York city, talking to a Washington
Post reporter on the political situation in
New York, said:
. "If present Indications are worth any-
thing you can expect to see Colonel Thomas
P. Ochiltree occupying the seat in con-
gress now held by Hon. Bourke Cockran.
Ochiltree has been besieged to run and
would get the support of every anti-Tam-
many club In the district. I now name
him as a member of the next house of
