TBE NEWS AND MR. CUL-
BERSON.
The Dallas News continues to
lecture Mr. Culberson and accuses
him of violating or repudiating
tbe financial plank of the platform.
The News is ably editeu and is
equal to any paper or any man in
the defense of its views.
If it will tell us what its silver
policy is it will gratify many
thousands of its readers who are
as anxious as we are to know.
The financial plank in the demo-
cratic platform means nothing if it
is not to be carried out. To de-
clare in favor of silver coinage and
still take no steps to secure it,
would be deception pure and
simple.
Mr. Culberstn gives his views
of bow tbe silver declaration in
tbe platform should be carried out.
They may be erroneous, still it is
an attempt to invest that declara-
tion with a meaning.
Now what does the News pro-
pose! Does it want a change of
ratiof If so, whatt Does it want
30 to 1 or any other fixed ratiof
What safeguard of legislation does
it propose in order to preserve the
parity f
If it favors international agree
ment what steps does it propose
to secure itf It Is dumb on every
part of the question except on sil-
ver coinage at the present ratio.
Unless it has some plan to give
effect to the silver declaration is it
not further off tbe platform than
it says Mr. Culberson 1st

The News owes it to its readers
to give souie definite shape to its
plan for dealing with the silver
declaration in the platform.
It might lie that all the demo-
crats conld get together if those
who oppose free coinage at the
ratio of 16 to 1 would outline their
plau. They say they stand upon
the platform, and certainly that|
platform demands they have some
way of securing silver coinage, i
The trouble in the party over this I
question might be averted if the
opponents of 16 to 1 would tell us
what they propose.
Let the News, Judge Clark and
other leaders on that side tell us
how they* propose to carry out this
declaration in the platiorm. And
it will not be an answer to say
they expect to sit still and wait for
the nations of the earth get to-
gether and do it. The platform
demands that we do something in
mac direction ourselves.
Mr. Culberson gives his plau. It
may not be the best plan or even a
good plau, but it is at least au
effort to carry out what the plat-
form demands. Those who make
no effort in that direction, not Mr.
Culberson, are off the platform.
A REPUBLICAN WOLF.
The Gainesville Hesperian re-
publishes from the Macomb, (111.)
Daily Journal, a republican pa-
per, a letter written and signed by
U. M. Browder, populist nominee
for congress in the Gainesville dis-
trict, and other citizens of Cooke
county, maligning the people
among whom they live and char-
acterizing the democracy of that
section, which comprises about 90
per cent of the intelligent and re-
spectable citizenship, as an "or-
ganized mob."
The question naturally arises,
why did Mr. Browder, who is a
candidate to represent a Texas
congressional district in the na-
tional legislature, running as a
popnlist, go to a republican con-
stituency in a distant northern
state to pour out his grievance
against the people whom he hopes
to represent in congress! Why
does he make his sad plaint
through an Illinois republican pa-
per of "a bitter personal attack
upon me because I draw a #6 pen-
sion and came from the north!"
Is it not plainly enough the pur-
pose of this republican emissary
from Illinois to fan the fires of
sectional hatred of the south in
the section from which he came in
the interest of the republican par-
ty in the north which for so long
a time flourished on sectionalism!
One of the signers of Mr. Brow-
der's letter to the northern repub-
lican sheet is publisher of a popu
list newspaper in the county in
which Mr. Browder was so badly
used and threatened with mob
violence because he ' draws a pen-
sion and came from the north." If
he had desired merely to reacn the
voters in the district in which he
is a candidate would he not have
been more likely to use tbe col-
umns of a newspaper which circu-
lates among the voters of that dis-
trict! Will any self respecting,
loyal Texan, democrat, republican
or populist, of northern or south-
ern birth, uphold such a misera-
ble interloper as Browder after
such an expose!—Houston Post.
DEATH OF A GRAND AMERI-
CAN.
On Sunday afternoon Americas
greatest author and poet passed
away at his residence in Boston.
Dr. Oliver Wendell Holmes died
at 12:15 p. m.
Dr. Holmes was, in our opin-
ion, the greatest American left in
the realm of letters after the de-
' parture of Longfellow. Dr. Holmes
was 85 years old Aug. 29, and had
l»eeu hale and strong until a few
days ago. He died quietly at his
home, surrounded by his family
He was one of those men wrho were
so great and go good that men
never asked what was his politics
or his religion. He was an Ameri-
can in the full sense of the word
and his death will be regretted by
all classes of our people. But his
hlo tt> n olr o tmrall liro nf(o» Lim f»i
his fame has not yet reached its
zenith. Successive ages will add
to the lustre of his name. He was
l>oth good and great.
The Peoples Advocate, publish-
ed at Austin, keeps the populist
platform standing, but it is not
the same platform pnblishe<l in
other papers. It leaves out the
absurd eight hour demand, ant
makes the broad demand for
law declaring eight hours a day's
work. It only has twenty-two
planks. •
Did they ever read the bill! If
not, they ought to read it before j
discussing it. If they have read!
it they delilierately lie when they
say diamonds are on the free list, i

A KENTUCKY RACE FIGHT.
Seven Turbulent Negroes
Killed by White Excur-
sionists.
William Poindextkr made a
speech Saturday night before the
Cleveland club at Fort Worth
which had the true ring to it. He
is with the president on the silver
question, but concedes to every
democrat the right to advocate 16
to 1 coinage if he feels that way,
and thinks no democrat has a
right to complain at it.
The Georgia election shows a
large falling off in the democratic
vote and a very small gain in the
populist vote. The democratic
majority ought to have been
50,000, but it will not reach over
30,000. The republican whites
voted mostly with the democrats
and the negroes with the popu-
lists.
Hawesville, Ky., Oct. 8.—As
the excursion train from the
Owensboro fair arrived al Power's
Station, a few miles west of this
city, last night, a terrible race
fight occurred l>etweeu thirty
drunken negroes and a few white
men, as a result of which several
of iho nogrooo nic said tv liavc
been killed. It seems the negro<
became angered because they were
forced to ride in the colored
coach. As they neared their home
station they made a rush to get
into the coach for white people.
They frightened tlie women and
tbe men, who ran through the
train. At this Deputy Marshal
Moses Bullington, who had his
family on the train, attempted
to quiet them. The negroes then
began shooting as they got off the
train. Deputy Bullington and
Squire Aldridge, both of this city,
and Marshal Jones and Col. John
Patterson of Lewisport, and half a
dozen men from Atkins then be-
gan firiug into the negroes. As
the train pulled out the negroes
shot all the windows out of one
coach and the white men emptied
all their guns into the negroes,
who were bunched on the plat-
form. No one on the traiu was
hurt, but it is thought at least
seven negroes are dead, and as
many more injured. One white
man on the train used liis knife,
which was covered with blood
when he came in. These state-
ments are from the lips of United
States Marshal Bullington.
Populist orators continue to
assert that diamonds were put on
the free list by the new tariff bill.

the crisis coming.
Washington, Oct. 8.—The crisis
of the China-Japan war is looked
for within the next ten days or
two weeks by those most interested
and best informed on the contest.
The legations of the two countries
are expecting daily to hear that
decisive battles will be foueht.
This is based on the fact that the
Japanese have been gradually
closing in around Pekin, and the
invading army will be compelled
by force of circumstances to strike
their blow at once or not at all.
The intense cold which
comes on about the mid-
dle of October makes this impera-
tive. The Japanese climate is
very mild, even in winter, and the
Japanese troops are wholly unpre
pared for the rigorous climate
about Pekin, which is due within
two weeks. The Chinese look
upon this as one of their defenses
and the Japanese fully appreciate
it. It compels them to concen
trate their campaign for this year
into the next few weeks, and if
possible into days. For that rea-
son they are expected to make
heroic efforts to decide the contest
at once. They are without heavy
clothing, camp equipment, etc. ,|f0r
a campaign in the bitter cold.

TOLD YOU
Some time ago that our stock of Stoves and
Tinware must go at cost. A great many peo-
ple have taken advantage of this and fitted
themselves up with
The Best Stove On
Earth.
We still have thirty-seven Cooks and Heat- .
ero left and we have made
Another Cut
to close out the remainder. It is no use ar-
guing the question. If you want a stove now
is the time to gat one from us.

THE ENGAGED YOUNG MAN.
lie Who Follows These Utiles Shall lie
Ilappy In His Itetrotlial.
It will be well for the man who ex-
pects to sail smoothly into the matri-
monial port to continue those flattering
attentions after his engagement which
preceded it. It will not suffice for him
to talk of what he is saving to make
their little home worthy of her. He
must, by some magic, be able both tn
save money for the future and to pro-
vide her with the flowers, books, bon-
bons, theater tickets and other trifles
which he bestowed upon her when there
was no future to be taken into consider-
ation.
He must treat her people with defer-
ence, cordiality and filial aifection. He
must let her complain of all their faults,
retail all the family quarrels and point
out all the family imperfections with-
out ever allowing the knowledge he ac-
quires thus to tinge his behavior. He
must listen to her abuse of them with
sympathy and never by any chance show
anything but the highest regard for
them himself.
He must like all her friends. He
must treat "the girls" with the inti-
macy which never borders on familiar-
ity; must enjoy their society, which
will be thrust upon him at all times
and places, and at the same time must
be prepared to agree with her estimate
of their shortcomings. It will be just as j
well for him never to admire them too
extravagantly.
i:j pub.ic i r must always be prepared
i show Ik r the attention she needs, but
amst also be prepared to let her "have
a good time," unhampered by his devo-
tion. For instance, he must never let
her sit out a dance alone, yet he must
never glower when she seems to be
dancing often with other men. His man-
ner must be a perfect mingling of devo-
tion and noninterference.
Incidentally it may be added that an
occasional dose of neglect is wholesome,
and that a semioccasional quarrel is nol
to be despised.—Philadelphia Times.
Chicken Surgery In Florida.
A marauding hawk made an attack
on a Lakeland (Fla.) fowlyard and suc-
ceeded in ripping a chicken's craw en-
tirely from its body, so that it dragged
on the ground, and also cutting a hole
through the craw, so that it would not
hold food. A day or two afterward the
owner caught it, and one of the ladies
of the family performed a surgical opera-
tion. The craw was sewed up, the
chicken was soaked in hot water until
the wounded and dry skin was mads
elastic again, the craw was restored t j
its place, the wound sewed up, and now
that is about the healthiest chicken in
the yard.
Contract Signed.
The city council yesterday con-
cluded the arrangements for bor-
ing the artesian well. The con-
tract [was signed with H. Mc-
(Jilvray and work will l>egin with-
i.i thirty days.
The stables on the city lot will
be moved away at once to make
room for the work.
Tbe aldermen and mayor feel
■sure that they will have no more
trouble. A responsible contrac-
tor with first class machinery will
soon be going down after the
water which all feel sure is there.
These cool evenings are just the
