A revival by the czar of the edict
ORinnst tho Jews will probably add
largely to our popuatiin ns It did three
or lour yeara bro when bli Russian maj-
esty banished n larse number of He
brews
Is it any wonder that Nihilists abound
in Russia when tho ozar can have tho
heart to proclaim an edict so brutal and
fo barbarious against a million in-
offensive subjects on account ot race
hatred
Tun people of Texas permit no outside
Interference with their domestic affairs
Foreign syndicates and railroad papers
In other states should mako a note of it
The people of this state are not ready to
tell their political souls to outsiders just

las instructs her twentyfive delegates to

TnE style employed by the nnticom
mlssion leaders in speaking about the sup-
porters ot Hogg and a commission Is
ontra bonos mores aga Inst good morals
and as such is being fittingly rebuked as
fast as primary and county conventions
can be held
CnEAP Joiix Wanamaker should fee
very proud of an appointee of his in Wy-
oming a postmaster who charges five
cents for postage stamps because as he
says the freight is so high Cheap

Col Bryax T Barry behnved very
nicely as nn anarchist in tho Dallas
convention and although he kicked
against the commission amendmoLt he
did not hesitate to cast his vote under
instructions of course for Gen Hong
Tho colonel makes a very respectable
communist
Senator Granny Blair is awfully
afraid congress wont adjourn until

Let the old gentleman possess his soul in
patienoo Congress should not adjourn
until It has conferred upon Senator Far
well the authority to blow up a rain t t-

Master Workman Powderly is sound

political barometer Indicates I < y the
upward tendenoy of the price tho oon
dition of the political atmosphere in the
state
Republican conventions both state
and congressional throughout the West
are still adopting sliver colnnge resolu-
tions and at the same time indorsing
Harrisons administration which is
mainly responsible for tho socalled
silver bill that recently became a

IK 18S9 Georgia a railroad commis-
sion state constructed 337 miles of rail-
road Yet Georgia has one mile of rail-
way to every fourteen square miles of
territory
Iu 1889 Texas a noncommission state
constructed 805 miles of railway Yet
Toxas has only one mile ot railway to
every thirtyone square miles of terri-
tory
A railroad commission will promote
railroad building in Texas
We notice a very perceptible nay a-
very marked decline in the anticommis
sion zeal displayed by our esteemed con
temporary the San Antonio Express
while urging the Democracy of Bexar
county In such rampant fashion to go
to tho primaries Their going has
somehow abated the fiery enthusiasm of
our friend the Express man How
comes it Maecenus that no one is satis-
fied with the lot that ciroutnstapces

him Alas we dont know unless im-
bibing too much nntlHogg physic has
something to do with the case of the Ex-
press
Governor Hubbard acknowledges
himself beaten by Congressman Kllgoro
and says that he will now devote himself
to his private affairs and the preparation
of a book of reminiscences of bis pil-
grimage in Japan for four years Per-
haps If the genial governor bad let the
people of that district know that he con-
templated writing a book they would
have unanimously agreed to make a
congressman of him We only say
perhaps
A OOMiriSSION IS NECESSARY
The battle for a railroad commission in
Texas is a battle for railroad competition
nnd against railroad monopoly The
Texas pool deprived the state of the ben-
efits ot competition and men fought the
pool and drove it out ot existence who
were averse to the heroio remedy or a
con mission But when the six railroad
Inlets into Texas became consolidated
into two only with n possibility that
these two might become one only it was
obvious that there would be only suoh
rates as monopoly chose to make and
only such building na monopoly chose to
permit In such emergency a railroad
commission is the only protection of tho
people and the only guarantee of more
railroad construction This is why men
who opposed a commission now favor It
and this is why consistency in such op-
position is the virtue of those who cannot
see in changed conditions the need of
changed remedies
PROTECTION NOT INJURY
We are glad to find the following sensi-
ble and pertinent remarks concerning
the commission in the Austin Statesman
Certainly as our contemporary says no
commlesionist wants to injure the rail-
roads or lu any way discourage their ex-
tension No one but a fool or a knave
nffects to believe otherwise or will say
that any sane friend of tho commission
idea contemplates any other result than
a beneficial one The Statesman says
to themselves nd the corporations Th ey do
not believe they are now being fairly treated by
the present system which takes the money out
of Texas to build up Northern marts They
want this rectified as a matter of plain fair
dealing The commls lion is to pee that both
the people and the railroads receive fair play
Who then in the broad state or Texas can ob-
ject The people will not can the roads now
can they when as we honestly believe a com-
mission will by a reduction ot freights work to
their own benefit by incieasing the volume of
business transacted over their lines just as was
the case when the passenger tarilf was reduced
to three cents
LEGITIMATE REPRISALS
A correspondent of the St Louis Globe
Democrat writing from White Sulphur
Springs W Va where the World
fair commissioners are making their tem-
porary headquarters says that the place
is crowded with representative Southern-
ers all ot whom oppose the boycott a3
much as they do the force bill Thpy
regard it as Impractical and highly mis
chiovous but do not couceal a disposi-
tion if there should be a return to the
Infamies of the reconstruction period to
make reprisals that would be highly in I
jurious to the North and yet perfectly
legitimate and natural They could for i
example refuse to lend any
ment or help to the Chicago Worlds fair i
or to go near it Southern congressmen
could oppose any legislative appropria-
tion for it and perhaps otherwise em-
barrass the management In various
ways to which no exception could be
made the South by a policy of neutrality
could harm the big show and the vast
Northern interests involved in it ana
yet be attending strictly to her own busi-
ness With this aspect of the situation
before them the commissioners will It
is believed do what they can to avert
the danger anil bring a few Republican
hotheads to their senses
DONT KNOW WHAT THEY WANT
The Peoples party composed of
000 delegates representing every county
in the state of Nebraska has just held a
convention and put forth a ticket and a
platform The only very marked feature
of the latter for all these independent
pronunolamentos are very much alike is
the declaration that the political ma-
chinery in this state has been controlled
by corporate powers for the plundering
of the people and tho enrichment of
itself In other words the stats is reduction
governed by corrupt rings and plunder cause
ing combines all of course of the Re-
publican persuasion aud kept in power
by these selfsame people who now de-
nounce them in publio That this in-
dignant Peoples party convention is
still Republican and still wedded to its
idols is ovident from the tact that it de-
mands liberal service pensions for the

firmly convlnoed ot its wisdom and prao
ticableness and so resolute lu seeing It
crystalized in law argumonts are need-
less They want none They see their
way clearly do fore them and like an ar-
row to its mark they are moving In solid
phalanx to the goal marked out for
them
They have beon denounced and vilified
as wreckers of property as commun-
ists bent on a course of destruction
ruination Epollatlon nnd robbery
They have been held up to the scorn oj
mankind as < < anarobists and dark
lanternites and represented as an
ignorant stolid and brutal herd canaille
of the most destructive fury and re-
solved on wreaking vengeance on an
imaginary foe Nothing has been too
vile and contemptible no epithet too
coarse brutal and sweeping for the op-
position to use In describing and malign-
ing them And to what purpose
What has been gained by this reckless
and indiscriminate abuse and vilification
of a sober industrious and law abiding
class ot people Not one thing in this
world unless the contempt of the people
for their viliQers be something That
they have a contempt and a hearty con-
tempt too for them is evinced by the
cool culm and resolute manner In whioh
they express their political convictions
and make known their wishes
Goldsmiths estimate of a noble peas-
antry their countrys pride is not
shared by the gentlemen ot the Combine
who or rather their organs hnve adver-
tised the Texas peasantry or farmers to
the world as a contemptible and despised
class so Ignorant and besotted as to
know no better than so many untutored
savuees or gibbering idiots what is cood
for them No matter The people know
themselves know how they have been
bled fleeced and plucked by the design-
ing and rapacious and are not in the
humor to take their cue from political
tricksters and paid asents or submit
tamely to the hounding and scurrilous
All that the people ot Texas desire In author t
iring a commission is to protect themselves not abuso of those who Dnd that they can
to injure others All they ivant is exact justice
wheedle cozen and defraud them any
longer The people are all right They
are doing their duty toward themselves
In a right vigorous manner They have
done it They have fought the battle
well have routed their enemies and are
on tho eve of a victory for which the
honor and renown are all their own All
hail to them a noble poasantry their
countrys pride and the curse of the
crows on the Combine
SENATOR PLUMB REBELS
It would perhaps be rather hasty to in-
fer from Senator Plumbs remarks in
the senate Friday coucerning the aim Of
the tariffites to perpetuate the monopoly
given them by congress that he is pre-
paring to break with his party on the
McKinley bill Plumb is a party man
cautious prudent and not at nil disposed
o turniug somersaults or taking polit-
ical headers It should not be forcotteu
that in 1883 he characterized the unfair-
ness nnd inequalities of the tariff in
stronger language even than that em-
ployed two days ago Yet in spite of
that he remained true to the party
standard swallowing his disgust and
acceptingjbe situation as he found it
As the author of tho fat frying circular
he evinced his contempt for the entire
brood of tariff monopolists who he said
bad reaoed almost the sole benefit of
the tariff And yet he threw himself
Into the fight for Harrison and protec
tion with as much apparent ardor and
zeal as Reed or McKinley Although he
is now in a rebellious mood and eager to
dunce his knife to tho hill into the
McKinley bill it is by no means certain
or even very probable that be will
do so or in any way commit
himself to au act that would damage bis
party standing or lessen his influence
with tho administration Ho is a strong-
man but the crack of tho party lash or
the rebuke of a caucus has the same
terrors lor Plumb that it has for less In-
fluential members
He struck the keynote of tariff reform
when he said Friday that tho aim of the
protected barons was now to employ the
increased tariff rates granted by the
finance committee to prevent whatever
of price competition might
The time had come in his opinion
when the people ought to huve their
inning The manufacturers never
asked for anything that congress was no
ready to give them and now ntter °
quarter of a century of protection tho
infants that asked only to be put
upon their feet and supported for a tirao
surviving soldiers of tho late war as are to be further protected and In
though a Republican congress bad not larger and more generous measure than
already done as muoh in that direction I ever lest they drop In helpless heaps
as safety to itself would permit Not a These may not be tho senators precise
word is said about
bad
tho tariff good or
Pensions and more money is the
burden of their cry In a week from
now ninetenths of them would vote for
the most ultra and measly Republican
ticket What hope for good Is there in
such chickenhearted nnd whimpering
words but they set forth the spirit of his
utterances and the substanoe of his be-
lief
He believes that when the protootion
leaders assured the public years ago that
competition would gradually reduce the
price of protected articles they were not
dullards If they cant do any better I seeking to delude and hoodwink the peo
than that tboy would better remain in pie Those assurances and promises
side the party traces and retain at least
the merit of consistency
A DUTY WELL DONE
The Gazette Is not saying muoh about
the necessity for a commission nor offer-
ing any arguments In favor ot it ot late
simply because there is no necessity for
such Weeks ago it became apparent
that the people ot Texas were not only
satisfied nitb and convinced by the ar-
guments offered In favor of a commis
sion but were determined to choose
delegates who would go to San Antonio is come when the people should bare
instructed to stay until the commission
amendment was endorsed and the man
nominated for governor whose name was
familiarly linked in the popular mind
with that controlling idea For people
so thoroughly Imbued with as idea
should be respected now and the nat-
ural tendencies of economlo laws to
correct and adjust the imperfections and
nequalities of the tariff should not bo
defeated by renewed acts of legislation
calculated and Intended to aggravate the
original trouble and perpetuate the mo-
nopoly fostered by such acts
That is the view Plumb takes of the
matter and that Is the riew also of Sen-
ator Paddock of Nebraska who by his
Tote In favor of some small reductions
showed that he too thinks that the time

ABOUT FORT WOKTE
WLat the Pluckiest City la Texas is Doing and
Trying to Do Notes of
Frogresi
Real estate trading was fairly active
yesterday The aggregate sales includ-
ing the recorded transfers amounted to
45000 most of the property sold being
In the residence additions On more
than half the lots sold residences will be
built in fact that Is what nearly all ttjo
lots were purchased for Agents re-
port considerable inquiry about outlying
lands these Inquiries coming in many
cases from nonresidents If ail the
plans tor building houses are carried out
the next four months will see a building
boom never before equaled in any Texas
city That 500 to 1000 bouses could bo j
rented cannot be questioned There aro
people coming her daily who wunt
hotied aud not finding them nre com-
pelled to board
Real estate dealings open well for
August The sules yesterday placed on
record amount to over 547000 The
record for August 188J showed re-
corded transfers amounting to less than
S200000 for the entire month but the
prosDftcts for 1800 nre that twice or three
times that amount will be sold There
are a number of strangers In the city
now and it is probable that several of
them will invest in real estate in the
city and suburbs Agents report fair
inquiry and say trading will be more ac-
tive in August than in July
The bank clearings for the past month
show an increase over the same mouth
in 1889 and the volume of business
shows a steady increase
The past week has been unusually ac-
tive for midsummer in all lines ot bus-
iness Real estate sales have been much
heavier than for years past at this sea-
son nnd the report of Manager Hurrold
of the cleirlnchouse for the week end
lug last uight shows an increase in clear
ings over 1889 for the same week of over
100 per cent The clearingbouse report
sneaks for business generally und Fort
Worth can certainly claim with truth
that her business has doubled in oue
year when the clearing out more than
bears out the statement Fort Worth has
eeu the dullest period of the year and
wheu that dull period has been
so active it shows that not only is Fort
Worth growing but I ml lea tea that the
entire country tributary to this city was
never in a more prosperous condition

ANOTHER ICK FACTORY
During the present summer there has
been a scarcity of ice at times which has
been anything but agreeable to the peo-
ple ot this city and especially is this
true about the people of the South Side
Ice consumers south of tho Texns and
Paoifin reservation have been payins nt
the rate of one aud ouefourth to oue and
a half cents tier pound for
Ice when the waste by
meltng is taken into nccount and they
have taken the first step looking to the
remedying of this A number of citi-
zens have taken stock in a cotnrauy to
be known as the Sonth Side artesian ice
oompany whioh is to have n capital of
S25000 The factory Is to be built on
the South Side Tho stock subscription
paper is still in circulation and the out-
look is that considerable more than 25
000 ot stock could be placoil if desired
TORT WORTH and dkei water
Dr J T Feiid is back from Corpus
Christi and the coast and reports that a
syndicate of Fort Worth citizens have
secured an optiou on 800 ncres ot land on
Pudro Island which is thirtythree feet
above high tide aud propose to build u
twin city to Fort Worth on the land
There is a depth of forty feet of water
just outside the island and without much
expense deep water can be secured right
up to the land A railroad is eventually
to be built connecting Fort Worth with
tho Padre island city and the two
cities are to increase in population
and wealth together A charter will
be obtained in a short time and the pro-
ject set on foot Oue or more steamers
are to bo built and devoted to coast trad-
ing handling the goods wares and
merchandise of Fort Worth merchants
and manufacturers Dr Feiid says
there are immense opportunities for
Fort Worth iu pushing her trade in this
quarter

MISSIONARYWORK AT BOSTON

ent to keep this city before the thou-
sands who will be on band TJ Hur
ley Robert McCart T B Burbridge

Roche W W Dexter nnd others will all
be on hand and It goes without saying
that they will see to it that everything
possible is done for the good of this city
that is In their power odo
THE PARK QUESTION
The absence of a place of resort in or
near Fort Worth has been keenly felt
during the present summer by the army
of stayathomes There is not a place
near the city where the men and wo ien
of the town oppressed by business ana
household cares could tro for an hours
enjoyment of cool breezes and rest under
the trees or throw themselves on the
greeu grass and recuperate their wasted
energies It Is too late to provide a park
for the present summer but not too early
to make provision for next year
Men who have made addition to the
city and who are improving the same will
probably lay out parks for the benefit ot
those who live In these additions but
this will not suffice for the thousands ot
city dwellers who have not the time or
the money to go a considerable distance
The city council should consider this
matter and have a park for the people to
enjoy by next summer Lend tor this
purpose can never be purchased for less
money than nt present It the land
were bought now all the months between
this time nnd next May could be spent in
improving nnd beautifying n park
PARK STREET RAILWAY
The Park street railway company has-
let the contract for the coustruulion of
tis read and it will only be a few days
until work begins The rulls have been
ordered This road will run
from the board of trade building
to Brooklyn Heights and thence
under the trucks ot the Texas and Ptultlo
at least as far as Mistletoe Heights At
some point on the lino there will be a
park This Hue will give street cur
facilities to a portion of the city which
has hitherto been without it The curs
will be run by electric motors The
company is composed of a number of our
prominent aud wealthy citizens
THE HENDRICKS BLOCK
The plans for the uiuguillceut building
to beknown as the Hendricks block to-
go up on Main und Seventh streets are
completed and show a grnml structure

100 feet on Main aud 100 feet ou Sev-
enth and will be six stories high
A considerable portion of the first
story will be ot Pecos red stone tho
balance of the building of pressed brick
All nho huve seen the plans
say the building if erected as
buovjii in the druwiugs will be the most
imposing structure in Fort Worth It
will cover more ground than auy large
building in the city with the siuirle ex-
ception of the Joseph II Brown store
building The cost of the structure will
be over 100000 Work Is to begin this
month nnd the building is to be com-
pleted euriy in 1891
CHAUTAUQUA PARK
The promoters ot the Chautauqua park
have reason to congratulate themselves
already on their enterprise The mem-
bers are becoming more and more de-
lighted wilb the grounds and are find-
ing tho place during this long Lot sum-
mer a source of real pleasure
Somo families are spending a few
weeks in tents at the park having gone
out lust Mouday Two of the gentle-
men were in the city yesterday and re-
port most favorably The total absence
of dust flies aud mosquitoes together
with the cool shade ot the grand old
trees and the cold flowing artesian
water renders the place very pleasant
Small picnlo parties are of almost daily
occurrence so that the wisdom and en-
terprise ot the founders of the park is
fully vindicated With rapid transit to
the park it will be a grand success

WOliSE THAN SIBERIA
In
London Aug 2 A special corre-
spondent of a daily newspaper succeeded
in obtaining admission to the Turkish
prison atTJtkub Macedonia a town ot
European Turkey He found that the
building contaiued 149 cells whioh were
occupied by 1811 persons or over twelve
tn a cell As a rulo tho unfortunate
victims are sent there to be confined
from one to ten years each but so great
are their sufferings arising from the bar-
barity of their keepeis and the total dis-
regard by the latter ot all sanitary laws
that one rarely outlives five years
In one cell two nnd onehalt yards
square the correspondent discovered
nearly n score of wretches painting for
air and starving for food having in the
way of the latter nothing but bread aud
water The greater number were stark
naked and chained to the ankles and
wrists As it the jailers were unable
to inflict torture enough upon
their victims In the dens already
provided the correspondent found a se-
ries ot underground cells said to be re-
served for the worst prisoners where in
total darkness are placed those whom
Turkish tyranny has singled out for spe-
cial barbarity in order to force confes-
sions where confessions would have
proved useful to those In power To ob-
tain these confessions the aid of an ant-
Is called In These Insects are kept in
small boxes tor tho purpose and fifty ot
them are placed at one time on the
naked body ot the prisoner whom it Is
desired to torture It Is also customary
to chain the men all day in the sun tn
suoh a way that tbey are unable to
move
