Outlook Is Good for a Texas
Decision.
I Washington, Oct. 25.—The ver-
dict of the only jury which ever
sits in the supreme eourt, those
who have listened to the case
from beginning to end is in favor
of Texas in the suit for Greer
county, instituted by the general
government against three days
of the court’s time the argument
today reached its conclusion. The
supreme court only holds sessions
lasting from 12 to 4 o’clock, and
consequently four hours are al-
lowed for each side with the usual
trespass upon the mercy of the
eonrt. It is easy to understand
how the case extended over until
today. Attorney General Crane
for Texas concluded his argument
with much enthusiasm, and evi-
dently much encouraged by the
showing which the state has been
able to make as against the gov-
ernment. His enthusiasm was
contagions, for ex-Attorney Gen-
eral Garland, usually one of the
most quiet and stolid of the prom
inent supreme court practitioners
here, also gave a fervor and
vim to his argument that betoken-
ed at least confidence, and was
of snch a character as to make an
impression upon the court. As
was stated in these dispatches
there was nothing of a novel char-
acter proposed, but each succeed-
ing attorney for the state devoted
himself to the elaboration of dif-
ferent portions of the testimony.
Special Counsel Edgar Allen,
through the fact that the other
attorneys had taken more time
than had been allowed them, came
to the bar with scarcely ten min-
utes in his favor. This was ex-
tended by the court, however,
into more than an hour, and Mr.
Allen had ample time for a very
able summing up of the case of
the government. He has given
the matter his complete attention
to the utter neglect of practice
for more than seven years, and is
certainly better versed in the
matter than any other living man.
Still, when his argument had been
completed those who were inter-
ested on the Texas side of the
case felt confident that the state
had presented a winning argn
ment, und they are therefore al-
ready congratulating the state
attorney.
A decision may Be expected
within the next two or three
weeks, at any rate before the
court adjourns for the December
holidays.

Republican affairs: Ben-

nated from the political situation
as a possible candidate for the
presidency. His name has been
dropped from all farther consid-
eration by tie men who expect
to contiol the Republican Nation-

is on the ragged edge, but his
boomlet has not yet been pushed
over precipice of oblivion. He
has a slight—a very slight—chance
still. Reed of Maine, Morton of
New York and Allison of Iowa
are the men who will figure in the
nominating convention. The issue
is narrowed down to this trio and
it is believed the Republican can-
dandidate will bo either Reed or
Allison, if Morton does not on the
first ballot receive the nomina-1
tion. The situation as here out-
lined is stated on good authority
to be the result of a conference

Populists Differ as to Their
Platform.
At a recent meeting of the Pop-
ulist state executive committee,
in Fort Worth, the Mail-Telegram
says:
“In the afternoon session the
most interesting subject was in
regard to endorsing the Omaha
platform of '92. Tk. obalrmao, I pi«form tbaUs
had forsaken the platform entirely;
therefore it was agreed by a unan-
imous vote to endorse it without
any variations, so that there would
not be anything misleading in
their actions.
Notwithstanding this endorse-
ment, there were many who be-
lieved there would be a new plat-
form formulated at the next na-
tional convention. This matter
met with no little discussion be-
fore it was finally settled in the
minds of those present.
Colonel Harry Tracy, editor of
the Southern Mercury, was
strongly in favor of the Omaha
platform and said he was con-
vinced that the majority of the
party were throughout the state.
Captain Sam Evans was not of
that opinion. He’stated that if
it was so he would attend the na-
tional convention and would use
his influence to have this plat-
form changed or a new one for-
mulated. He claimed that the
platform of three years ago was
not up to date in many things, and
when placed before the party for
endorsement in the campaigu it
would not be broad enough to
please them alL He wants to
old and set in their ways to learn,
and a day at a county fair is a
good school.
after making a few remarks and
suggestions, asked for an expres-
sion of the sense of the meeting
in regard to the campaign next
fall. As a result of his expres-
sions a committee was appointed
and xeported a resolution which
provoked some discussion and
amendments, which were finally
adopted. This report was a sanc-
tion to the principles set forth in
that Omaha platform. Some of
the members wanted to endorse
only a few of the principles em-
braced in this platform, but it was
suggested that if the whole con-
cern was not endorsed, many of
the party would think that they

What Fairs Are Good For.
Texas Stock Journal.
The fact that so many county
fairs are each meeting with unlim-
ited success argues well for the
benefits to be derived from at-
tending, since their principle rev-
enues come from admission fees,
That they are of practical benefit
is a well understood fact by all
who have had occasion to investi-
gate the matter to any extent. No
person can mingle with his fellow
man and not be wiser for it. A
man who keeps to himself all his
ideas soon becomes a crank on
that particular subject, but on the
other hand, if communicated to
his neighbor, his views expand
and the weak spots in his pet the-
ories are brought to light and
strengthened with stronger ones.
In this regard fairs are highly
beneficial, as they bring to notice
the new creations of creative art,
and the results of experiments by
tried observers. To those who
love fine stock the best of the
land is brought to their notice
and a paradise of wonders is re-
vealed to those whose ideals lie
in the range of improved machin-
ery.

Nothing in the Yoakum Res-
ignation Rumor.
Fort Worth Gazette.
The Gazette’s light shed on the
Yoakum rnmor Sunday morning
was read with much interest by
local railway people, and they all
unite in pronouncing it a correct
sizing up of the situation.
Mr. George Sealy, second vice-
president of the Santa Fe, when
asked about the rumor, in Gal-
veston Saturday, said there was
absolutely nothing in the rnmor,
and he could not account for the
manner in which it originated.
A prominent passenger official
of this city who is acquainted with
Mr. E. T. Jeffries, president of
the Denver and Rio Grande, who
rumor says is to be president of
the re-organized Atchison, Tope-
ka and Santa Fe, and father-in-law
of Mr. J. O. Clarke who is rumor-
ed as Mr. Yoakum’s successor,
does not attach much importance
to it. He says President Jeffries
is a man who always frowns upon
nepotism and even in the event
of Jeffries’ appointment as presi-
dent of the Atchison system, he
does not believe Mr. Olarke would
be appointed to succeded Mr.
Yoakum.
Still, it is known that Mr.
Clarke was recently in Texas, and
made a tour of the Gulf, Colorado
and Santa Fe system. Late ad-
vices from Galveston say: The
rumor from Memphis that Presi-
dent Clarke, of the Mobile and
Ohio, would succeed General
Manager B F. Yoakum, of the
Gnlf, Colorado and Santa Fe, was
the day’s sensation in local rail-
way circles. The consensus of
off-hand opinion was that there is
nothing in it, and so a great many
people dismissed the subject. Mr.
Yoakum, however, is an aggress-
ive man, and is known to look
tenderly upon the scheme to con-
struct a road from Fort Worth to
the Jack county coal fields. Part
of the line is graded, and the
scheme is a pet one with the gen-
eral manager. Another thing
which suggests itself in connec-
tion with the rumor from Mem-
phis is the story that negotiations
which have been pending for
some time to take the San Anto-
nio and Gulf Shore out of the
receiver are about to materialize.
Mr. Yoakum is interested in that
movement, it is said. Six

Bucket Shops Go Down With
the Decline in Cotton.
The Regatta Will Be
Grand Success.
Correspondence of the Gazette.
Austin, Tex., Oct. 26.—The
drop of one cent in cotton last
week caught and squeezed nearly
every patron of the future room,
bucket shop, in this city. All
had banked high on an advance
but lo and behold it was the other
way and there was a terrible de-
cline. Many of those who gamble
in futures lost heavily and the
bucket shop itself went down in
the crash worse than that. The
shop here was “ buckin ” others
at Waco and Dallas and Fort
Worth and other points and it is
said that all gave up the ghost,
quietly passed away, leaving a
multitude of victims behind. Still
worse. Here at Austin the grand
jury smelling around nosed up
against the shop and returned six
indictments against them for run-
ning a backet shop contrary to
law. The manager was arrested
and will be tried sometime next
month.
Cotton seed is selling at $8 per
ton with a tendency to go higher
because of scarcity. This scarci-
ty is causing cotton seed meal to
increase in value, and cattle feed-
ers here will use a large quantity
of hay which is abundant and
cheap. It is said the hay will
improve the beef and that cattle
will do better than when fed on
meal and hull alone. There will
not be as many beeves fed here
this year as there were last year
and the same condition is report-
ed from other points. Fat cattle
here are one hundred per cent
higher than they were this time
last year, good cows selling at
from $18 to $22 per head. The
same grade sold last year at from
$7 to $11.
The railroad commission is af-
ter the railroads for violating
compress rales and several roads
have been cited to answer to ap-
pear before the commissioners
here next month to answer to the
charges. The Southern railroad
of Kansas has also been summon-
ed to answer a charge of excess-
ive freight on coal between Miama
and Pandle City.
Austin is still at work on the
cotton mill project and those in-
terested are confident they will
make a success of it. Many sub-
scriptions to stock have been re-
ceived from adjoining counties.
Everything indicates that the
regatta is going to be a success.
The English oarsmen will reach
