Hooo ia apoken of for the va-
cancy on the railroad oommiaaion
The oold snap Wednesday af-
ternoon was the moat severe since
January, 1877.
The Fort Worth street railway
haa increased its capital stock
860,000 for the purpose of mak-
ing extensions.
Hurrah for Fort Worth and
the Gazette! Between them they
will make a howling success of
the semi-centennial.
Carlisle says'.that by the time
the present fiscal year ends, June
30, the tariff will be yielding
more than sufficient to run the
government.
The best legal authority ha*
decided that the election of aider-
men by waids would vitiate their
eleotion and render all their acts
void.—Waco Evening Democrat.
There was a cyclone at Austin
reoently. It was Cyclone Davis
tryingjto get $100 for lobbying
for the Texarkana court bill, and
4 ‘influencing* ’the populist mem
bers to vote for it.
4 4 She had a voice like a siren ’
says an exchange, “and yhen
she sang: 'Mid play sure, sand
palaces, though beam a Home
Be it averse oh vum bull there

not a dry eye in the room. ’ ’
The way our currency laws are
now every paper bill is part of an
endless chain to draw the gold
from the treasury. It is the du
ty of congress to stop this. But
they are so hopelessly divided on
silver they can't do anything.
It ia said that fully $2,000,000
outside capital have been placed
in Arkansas enterprises as a re
suit of that state’s exhibit at the
World’s fair at Chicago. Yet
there are many who contend that
money spent on these exhibits is
thrown away.
The following is said to repre-
sent the true state of things at a
certain residence in Btephenville
one evening during the recent
oold snap. No names given
away:
Now doth the old folks hug the fire,
Their shivering* to smother,
While safe within the parlor snug

Don’t lay the blame of the
bond issue to the tariff reduction.
$43,468,000 in gold was with-
drawn from the troasury du*ing
the month of January,mostly for
shipment abmflrf' A tariff would

enough to run the govern-
ment and withstand this heavy
run, too, at the same time.
ftlE populists condemn those
who lobby with legislatures and
oongress to influence legislation.
They are loud in their condemna-
tion of the 4 ‘corrupting influence
of money’’ and those who are
thus oorruptly influenced. Hut
now that their own immaculate
Cyclone Davis offered for $100 to
influence the populist members of
the Texas legislature, watch ev-
ery one of them attempt to ex-
cuse the act. If it is a orime for
one man to do a thing for money
it is for any other to do the same.
The firm of Mistrot Bros., at
Marlin, has carried a page ad in
the Democrat and Ball there for
several months. And it still
keeps it up.—Hillsboro Reflec-
tor.
The same firm carries the same
advertising in tho Comanche pa-
_£ers. One of the Mistrots told
the editor of this paper not long
ago that he would no more think
of dropping his newspaper ad-
vertising than he would of swim-
ming the ocean without a life
preserver. Mistrot Bros, sell
more goods than any other firm
in the oountry towns of Texas,
and nobody uses nrtore printer’s
ink than they.
When the recent move was up
in the legislature at Austin to
reduce the mileage of members,
only three out of the twenty-two
populists in the house voted for
the reform. The bill was to stop
the members drawing from the
state treasury 20 cents per mile
fyr each mile traveled in going to
/nd coming from their homes to
f the state oapital, whereas they
only pay three cents. Anyone
lies this is simple robbery of

Mew He Tries to SeN Out the Pop-
ulist* His Owa Story.
There are many populists in
this oounty who do not believe
the statement as published in
the papers last week, to the ef-
fect that Cyolone Davis had at-
tempted to sell the vote of the 24
members of the legislature for
$100. These people, though
they mean to be honest, are like
the olass the Savior spoke of—
they would not t>elieve though
one rose from the doad, unless it
suited them. Here is the evi-
dence of Mr. Davis as given be-
fore committee appointed by the
legislature to investigate the mat-
ter. While he attempts to cover
up and smooth over and explain,
yet it will be noticed he does not
deny the facts charged, and it is
plain to be seen that he hunted
the parties up and was anxious
for the $100.
Austin, Tex., Jan. 28.—Cy-
olone Davis was the only witness
examined at the night session of
the investigating committee. He
said, “I noticed here one day
Bob Hart and some others talking
together and I heard him say
something about the court house
and this court bill. We talked
sometime about the court bill and
I actually thought it was a m6ve-
ment to move the oounty seat.
Ho said that he thought it a
move to end the whole matter,
and would like me to help him
out. I later met Hudgins abjut
the gate and we talked about the
matter. I asked him if he had a
.copy of the hill. He insisted that
the matter was intended to settle
and adjust the county seat mat-
ter instead of to reopen it. I
studied the bill over carefully and
the next time 1 saw Hudgins I
nsked him how they were getting
along with it. He said ho didn't
know, and asked me what I
thought about it, and 1 told him
I thought it a very fair bill, rea-
sonable and just. Can’t you
help us out? he asked. I asked
him. can’t you help mo out?
Then I said it seemed to mo that
Armistead and Harrell ought not
to be on the elections committee,
and went on to toll him whore
they would naturally be preju-
diced against Frost. The next
time I saw him was at the Dris-
kill hotel. 1 was writing and saw
Hudgins coming down tho steps
and I drew off the proposition,
laid it down and went on with my
writing. Fretty soon he camo
up and I handed him the propo-
sition. He read it and we talked
some time about Armistead being
a fair man and ready to do the
right thing. I expressed myself
ns hopeless in the .contest oase,
that Frost fieaten »M that I
h«d not the heart to stay longer.
He said that I ought not to go
home yet a while. I said that I
was here at Frost’s expense and
that if 1 staid longer it would
have to bo at his (Hudgins') ex-
pense. He said that that was all
right, that they wantod my help
Hudgins, I think, just reached
down In his pocket and pulled
out a ten dollar bill and handed
it to me and said take this and
stay over, and I did. About the
same conversation I think occur-
red between Mr. Todd and my-
self as I had with Hudgins.
They thought nothing of it, I
thought nothing of it, of there
being anything improper in it.
told them that 1 wanted the mon-
ey for Frost. They said they
cared nothing about that, if 1 did
the work for them they were
willing to pay for it. ’ ’
Buck Walton, attorney for
Davis: 4 ‘1 want you to say if in
that note did you moan to prom-
ise that your party would vote as
you said?’ ’
Davis—4 ‘Not at all. I meant
that I would argue the matter
before them and try to influence
them to vote for what I regarded
as a just settlement of a very
vexed question. I gave no
pledge to carry any number of
votes.’ ’
Walton: “In the contostwith
Hudgins were you working for
gain to yourself or to debauch
the legislature?’ ’
Davis: 4 4 Not in any way
whatever. I was here for Mr.
Frost, at his expense, and 1 used
the money received to help pay
those expenses. I credited Mr.
Frost’s aocount with the money
so received. Todd had also giv-
en me $10. ’ ’

The City Council Not a Legal
Body.
(>n a question reoently Hont up
to the attorney general from a
small town that official decided
that the general manner of elect-
ing city aldermen by wards is
unc institutional. He quoted the
constitution showing that all
qualified voters in an incorporat-
ed town or ouy should be allowed
to vote for all elective officers of
such town or city. If this be
correct then it is plain that no
act can bo performed by a coun-
cil elected in a different manner
than that prescribed by the con-
stitution which would stand the
test of the courts. Not even
could taxes be oolleoted nor
money paid out by a council so
elected.
The Fort Worth Gazette is urg-
ing the holdover couneilmen of
that city to resign and be elected
legally. It says:
The htflu-over members of the
Fort Wurth'bdard of aldermen
scout the suggestion of tho Ga-
zette that they should all resign
and permit tho election of a coun-
cil that will be a constitutional
body, and evince a determina-
tion to hold on to their offices un-
til they are ousted by judicial
process.
Very Well; but the people of
to, our hold-over oouncilmen
should resign and let a council
be elected at the coming election
that would be constitutional and
could perform acts that would
stand in the courts. By so doing
much litigation and burdensome
oourt costs may be avoided.
The populist papers are de
manding a 4 ‘governmental bank
ing system.’’ What is the di
ferenoe between1 ‘governmental
and “national?”

From s letter written by Rev J Onn I
ertiutn. of Diamomlale. Mich, we sre
permitted to make this extract: “I
have no heattatton tn recommending Dr
Kings New Discovery, as the reeolts
were almost marvelous tn the cane of
my wife While I waa pastor of the
Baptist chnrch at Rives Jnnctinn she
waa brought down with pneumonia suc-
ceeding la grippe Terrible paroxysms

tending that it doesn’t matter
whether the city council is a con-
stitutional or an unconstitutional
body have too small an apprecia-
tion of tho force and effect of the
constitution. This is a very
serious matter. It would seem
that there should be but one
opinion when the question is,
whether tho oity government
should be made a legal govern-
ment. There is no question
made By anybody, as far as we
know, that the ruling of the at-
torney-general is correct and that
the constitution gives to each
qualified voter the right to vote
for all officers of the city,includ-
ing all members of the oouncil.
That right can be invoked by any
oitizen, and in view of the pres-
ent status of political affairs who
can doubt that it will be invoked?
In Houston the letting of a
oontract by the oity council is at-
tacked in oourt on the ground
that the Houston board is an il-
legal body. In Belton a similar
issue waH decided against the
city. These are but hints of
what is ooming.
When the Gazette suggested
that the hold-over aldermen
should resign it desired to avoid
confusion worse oonfounded. ’ ’
I f they do not resign the ohanostj
are that there will Se a pi
mese for the oouns after
April eleotion and th s oity will be'
the sufferer. If the attorney-
general ia right, and he probably
is, the final result will he that
the eighteen candidates reoeiving
the highest number of votes at
the oity eleotion will be declared
the legal board of aldermen.
