Mr. Calvert ia so acceptable to the

PRESIDENT BAILLIO’S ADDRESS.
| Welcoming die Delegates of the National
Press Association at Galveston.
The' following address delivered
by F. B. Baillio, President ot the
Texas Press Association, at Gal-
veston, welcoming the member* of
the National Press Association, is
worthy of preservation. It was re-
ceived with enthusiasm by the visit-
ing editors, representing nearly
every state in the Union:
“Mr. President and Ladies and
Gentlemen of the National Editorial
Association—To me has been as
signed the pleasant duty, not of
welcoming you to Texas, for that
has already been done in-mb appro-
priate and graceful manner by elo
quent gentlemen, but of attempting
to express to you the gratification
and delight of the Texas Press As-
sociation in having you bold your
a inual session within the border ot
the greatest and most cosmopolitan
state of the greatest and most cos-
mopolitan nation on earth.
In coming to Texas you have not
come among strangers. Whether
you come from tbe remotest East
from where the Puritan fathers first
erected the altars of civil and re-
ligious liberty, in a new and un-
known land, or from where the sun
is last seen as it sinks to rest in the
Pacific ocean ; whether you come
from tbe great lakes and wheat
fields of the North or from the
sunny plains of our own Southland,
you find here your own kith and
kifi. Here the man from Maine
meets face to face in the busy walks
of life with the man from Florida,
and the man trom Carolina is
brought into frieudly competition
with the man from California or
Washington. Every state in this
great Union has furnished us its
quota of brawn and brain, and in
the list of those immortals who won
for Texas the blessings of Anglo-
Saxon liberty, is found the names
not only of men from every state
in the Union, as it then was, but
from France, Germany, England,
Ireland, Spain and Mexico. And
more illustrious names adorn the
pages of no history than those who
yielded up their blood and their
lives for Texas independence at the
Alamo and at San Jacinto.
The first man to raise aloft the
standard of journalism in Texas was
the ubiquitous Yankee, a man from
Massachusetts ; the next was a man
from New York; the next was an
Irish Catholic priest. From this
cosmopolitan beginning the press
of Texas has continued to this good
day, and to its independent spirit
may be attributed the liberal spirit
of our people, who are always rea-
dy to greet and treat as brethren
and fellow citizens of our common
country all who are willing to work
for tbe common good. And to this
liberal and independent spirit of our
press is due not only the absence of
all sectional feeling among us, but,
and in no small measure, the growth
and development of our state. Lag-
gard in nothing, the press of Texas
has from its birth lead in every good
work for the betterment and devel-
opment of the empire bequeathed us
by the fathers.
You are not among strangers,
but among your kindred and your
friends : you are bone of our bone
and flesh of our flesh; you are not
visitors to a strange land, but are
still beneath the starry folds of the
most glorious flag that ever floated
over a people; a flag whose every
bright star has been made to shine
with a brighter and more refulgent
light by heroic deeds of your fathers
and ours, and whose every stripe
hss been dyed a yet deeper crimson
hue by the blood of our kindred
shed in many a hard fought battle
by land and by sea. You are not
among strangers, for in our veins
flow the blood of both tbe Puritan
and tbe cavalier—blood that has
come down to us from the same
fountain as yours. Our fathers
stood side by side with yours at
Lexington, at Bunker Hill, at the
Cowpens, at Yorktown, at New
Orleans, Monterey, at Buena Vista
and at the storming of Chapultepec.
And though they may have and did
face each other on many a stubborn-
ly contested field in tbe great civil
war it matters not on whose banner
victory rested, American valor pre-
vailed. Aud the history and glory
of tbeir achievements ia a common
heritage of which all may be proud
and none need be ashamed.
We have with us and of us not
only tbe descend exits of those who
rode with Raleigh ’round the sea,
and with Spott»wood ’round the
land, but of those who followed and
immortalized tbe glorious eagles of
the great Napolean when he was
changing the map of Europe ; of those
who served with Frederick when he
was so gallantly striving to save
Prussia from French rapacity, and
of those who under Wellington
withstood the fierce charges of the
Old Guard at Waterloo and turned
defeat into glorious victory. And
we have with us and of us, those
who followed Lee, and marched
with Stonewall Jackson, and rode
with Zeb Stuart, our own Prince
Rupert, as well as those who served
with Grant and Sherman and
Sheridan, from Sumter to Appo-
mattox—men who followed Pickett
in tbe glorious, but bloody charge,
at Gettysburg, which cast a halo of
imperishable renown on American
volor, and those who under Han-
cock, “tbe superb,” held the
heights on Cemetery Ridge that
fateful day against that impetuous
charge and rolled back the flower of
Southern chivalry. And the de-
have intermar-
haa been
of fraternity time can neither weak-
en nor break, while these old veter-
ans of erstwhile contending armies
are living together in peace and
fraternity, fellow citizens of a com-
mon state, and serve side by side in
the discharge of civic and social
duties. Shall I wonder, then, toat
we are cosmopolitan and that we
are not only tolerant of each other’s
opinions, prejudices and predilec-
tions, but that we can .and do ex-
emplify in our daily walk and con-
versation the declaration of the
psalmist, that it is pleasant for breth-
ren to dwell together in unity.
This is a victory of peace, no less
worthy of renown than the most
glorious of wars, and to the cot
mopolitan and independent spirit of
our state press may its glory be
ascribed.
As blood of our blood, and bone
of our bone, as coworkers with us
in the great republic of letters, we
extend you a cordial greeting and
hope your stay among ua may be
so pleasant that when you return to
your homes you may carry with you
such recollections as will make you
delight to recur often to your visit
to Texas. And I can assure you
that we will so enjoy yonr visit that
it will seem all too short and tbat
when we come to say “good-bye”
to you we will feel as did the Geor-
gia boy who, going to follow Lee
until the inevitable day at Appo-
mattox, bid his sweetheart a tearful
adieu and said: ^
“It is hard for we unt and you un* to
part,
For you uni have stolen we uns* heart.”
Ed Perry at Mssatlan.
The following information in
reference to proposed improvements
to be made by the Mexican govern-
ment at the harbor of Mazatlan,
taken from El Correo de la Tarde
of that city, will be read with inter-
est by Denisonians, aa Mr. Ed
Perry of this city, now living at the
City of Mexico, is the chief of the
commission appointed by the gov-
ernment to inspect the harbor and
make an estimate of the work con-
templated :
“The work on the harbor is
just now a common topic of
conversation and a fruitful source
of hypothesis. We deem it proper
to give our readers some knowledge
of the personate of the commission
and of what it has doue during the
short time which has elapsed since
the date of tbeir arrival. Tbe com-
mission is composed of the follow-
ing gentlemen: Edgar K. Smoote,
contractor and engineer; Francisco
Blanco, secretary and interpre-
■; Edward Peiry, “adminstrador
general;” L. C. Perry, “ayudente
del anterior;” James Giilaspie
Clow, chief engineer; engineers—
lames Stewart, Arthur Wheatley,
B. Linderman, G. 1. Palmer and
M. Van Zandt.
“Yesterday they made some ob-
servations in tbe bay, which is at
present a poor shelter for vessels.
They did tbe same yesterday and
also at Puerto Viego. To-morrow
and the day after they will be em-
ployed in getting tbeir lodgings in
order and preparing their office, for
which they have rented the house of
Maurico J. Lamadrid, known aa
the Terminus hotel, and next Mon-
day they will begin the work neces-
saiy before preparing tbeir report
to submit to the government officials
that have the matter in charge. En-
gineer Natividad Gonzales has re-
ceived instructions from the “min-
isterio de comunicaciones” to join
the commission. Another engineer
named by the government, and Who
will shortly arrive from the national
capital, will also be on the com-
mission.”
HAIL TO THE CHIEF.
GRAND MA8TER SARGENT VISITS
DENI80N AND SPEAKS AT
THE OPERA HOUSE
Host Masterly Exposition of the Labor
Question Ever Heard in Denison—
No Hope Outside of Labor
Organisations.
F. P. Sargent, grand master of
the Brotherhood of Locomotive
Firemen, arrived in the city Tues-
day evening from the north. He
was awarded an enthusiastic recep-
tion by the members ot the local
organization, and escorted by a
committee to his headquarters at
tbe State hotel.
In the evening Grand Master Sar-
gent addressed a large audience of
ladies and gentlemen at tbe Mc-
Dougall opera house. The seats
were all occupied, and standing
room was at a premium. Before
the arrival of tbe grand master the
Philharmonic orchestra entertained
the audience with a number of lively
airs.
The stage was elaborately decor-
ated, an immense American flag
covering the entire back portion of
the stage. In front of the speaker's
stand a pick and shovel, the emblem
of the order, had been placed.
The meeting was called to order
by Engineer Charles Turner, of the
Katy. In lieu of the abaence of
the Mayor, Judge W. M. Peck wat
introduced to the audience. The
Judge related two or three war
anecdotes and applied them to the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Fire-
men. He extolled the virtues and
heroism ot the firemen and the dan-
ger and responsibility that surrounds
the calling. He declared that he
was In favor of organized labor,
and that tbe best citizens of Deni-
son could be found in tbe ranks of
the railway employes. The Judge’s
remarks were well received, and
when he aat down the audience
manifested their approval with a
vigorous clapping of hands.
Chairman Turner then introduced
Chief of Police Hackney to the
audience. Although the chief has
msde the same identical speech no
less than a dozen times, it fitted the
present occasion very well. The
chief soared away to Etheral
heights; he weaved a crown of
roses around the brow of the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Fire-
men and burned frankincense at
their altar. He glorified them as
demi-gods. The chief finally re-
turned to the earth again, and sat
down amid a storm of applause.
Chairmap Turner then introduced
Grand Master Sargent, for whom
the audience had been impatiently
waiting.
The grand master is a gentleman
of rather impoting appearsnte. He
is almost as large as
Ingersoll. He is a pleasant Ind
forcible talker. Hit voice it agree-
able and his gestures graceful.
When he wishes to emphasize a
point he puts on ateam, and his
voice is pitched to the highest key.
He uses plan, matter-of-fact lan-
guage that all may understand.
the Locomotive Fireman’s organiza-
tion into existence, how they had
grown from hundreds to thousands;
they were distributing every year
among the widows and orphans
over three hundred thousand dol-
lars.
The strongest point made by the
speaker was this: He compared
the personal of the locomotive fire-
man of ten years ago to those of the
present period. There had been a
wonderful change for the better;
organized labor had worn off the
rough edges, and, at a class, they
were sober, moral and good citizens.
He said since his arrival in Denison
he had been told oy tbe chief of
police that during the past year
only five arrest* had been made of
members of the order of Locomotive
Firemen. Considering tbe large
memberibip this incident spoke vol-
umes.
He appealed to every railway em-
ploye present to unite with labor
organizations. It was their only
salvation; outside the pale of labor
organizations there was no redress
for their wrongs. He severely
criticised non-union men who
preached that labor organizations
were failures. He presented an ar-
ray of facts to disapprove the as-
sertion.
Grand Master Sargent made a
number of other telling points. His
arguments were cletn cut, and from
his point of view, the strongest that
could be presented.
The Brotherhood of Locomotive
Firemen have in the person of
Grand Master Sargent, one of the
safest and most eloquent labor
leader* in America. Everyone who
heard the grand master was im
pressed with his sincerity, and that
he had the good of his fellow men
at heart.
While here Grand Master Sargeut
held a business meeting with the
lodge of Locomotive Firemen.

MR8. ANDY QUINN
Is the Recipient of a Delightful Surprise
Party.
To Mrs. Andy Qutnn the noble ledles
of the Altar Society owe a great deal ot
their success.
Mrs. Quinn hat been indefatigable In
her effort.* In behalf of the society.
There never was a time yet but she was
willing to make a sacrifice to promote
the welfare of the Altar Society. Indi-
vidual efforts like Mrs. Quinn’s have
msde the Altar society a prominent so-
cial function of Denison. The society
is broad and cosmopolitan. It's mission
is to do good.
The surprise was planned very cleverly,
and the lady had no intimation that her
castle was to be stormed. About fifty
ladies met at Mrs. Nsssoy's and from
there the march was taken up to the
home ot Mrs. Quinn on west Herron
street.
T6 put It very mildly, Mrs. Quinn re-
ceived the greatest surprise of her life;
but with genuine womanly tact was equal
to the occasion. The house was literally
packed; they swarmed into the rooms
and yard and Mrs. Quinn surrendered
at discretion.
The afternoon was spent in a most
delightful manner, the hostess making
fni nnk those present feel lust as much at home
_--|aa if they had been under their own roof.
A splendid luncheon, consisting of
of cream and cake was served.
We regret that we cannot give a full list
of the names of those present, the follow-
ing only being a partial list: Mesdames
Tierney, Brodrlck, Dunn, Sullivan,
Casey, Crofton, Bowen, Dorian, Tygard,
Sweeney, Corcoran, Foley, Mellon, Kil-
dery, Galvin, Wallace, McGrau, Thomas,
Higgins, Finn, Hutton, Lambert, Dawd,
Smith, Extrom, Blanchard, Cowe, Cuff,
and Miss Mamie Sullivan.
At the first case you’ll find
thirty sorts, almost at ran-
dom, of nobby veiling,
white, black and colon;
fairly priced, 15c to 7$c.
For children. Biggest and
best stock in town; all new,

Leave you/orders with Cris Waltz,
THE GRAND MASTER
held his audience for nearly two
hours. It was a masterly defense
of organized labor. ' There was
nothing in the address that was
radical or objectionable. Debs is a
fire brand. Sargent believes that
the wrongs of the laboring class can
be righted within the lines of the
law. Debt would go outside of
the pale of the law and take matters
into his own hands. He. is a dema-
gogue and agitator. Sargent is the
most conservative speaker that has
ever addressed tbe laboring class
of Denison. While be is aggressive
on tbe subject of organized labor,
he is reasonable in bis methods.
He has experienced all the ups and
downs of the laborer’s hard fare,
aa he said he had been a common
tramp on the highway begging for
food, bad wiped engines and served
his apprenticeship as locomotive
fireman.
To look at tbe grand master, one
would naturally suppose that he
bad been reared in the lap of luxury.
The grand master remarked that
since his arrival in Denison he had
been asked the question, “Did you
ever fire an engine?” He detailed
at length, in eloquent and thrilling
periods, the life and vicissitudes of a
locomotive fireman's career. Speak-
ing from experience, his narrative
attracted deeper interest.
The grand master hit railway of-
ficials pretty hard, and did not spare
the heads of the different depart-
ments. He complained that they
were, aa a rule, too self important.
Speaking to the firemen, he said:
“When you are promoted to tbe
throttle, don’t let your head swell
so that you cannot wear your hat.”

every ill. The prevalence of sui-
cides will no doubt be proportionate
with the increase of poverty, drunk-
enness and vice.—American Sen-
tinel.
According to the policy of these
“reformers” the way to usher in
the tnillenium is to make everybody
good by law. It’s a fad just now to
make people temperate by law,
observers of holy days by law, and
Rev. Mr. Crafts and tbe National
Reform Association, propose to
make men and women religious by
law. That system was tried for a
thousand years and proved an igno-
minious failure. The plan won’t
work. It’s a long step backwards.
No person can be made morally
better by force. If a bad man reforms
he must do it himself. Education
must do the work if it is done at all.
The truly moral man does right be-
cause it is right. Legal interference
with personal liberty may breed
hypocracy but it will never reform
anybody. An individual’s liberty,
under the law, should only end
where the rights of another begin.
Tbe proper function of law is to
protect tbe individual from en-
croachments of others upon his
natural rights, not to deprive him
of them. This is the true purpose
of all legal enactments.
