NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC
Friends of The Gazette will confer
a favor on this paper by reporting nil
failures to get Tin Gazette on any
train coming into Fort Worth as well
as on any train leaving the city
Please give dates and enable us to trace
the cause
Fopt WorTn is a railroad center
a livestock center and a small grain
center
On to Brownwood Tracklayers on
The Texas railroaH commission is
ready for business and the Texas rail-
roads are all preparing for the biggest
business they ever did
Ox TO Archer Thegratlsis on thc
road from Henrietta to Archer are
buily at work and thc tracklayers
will soon be at work The rich eoun
try of Archer Throckmorton and Has

And now another American girl an
heiress of course is to marry a mem-
ber of the British aristocracy the Mar-
quis of Ailsa If this thing keeps on
there will not be heiresses enough for
the home supply McKinley ought to
have looked after this little matter
when framing his tariff bill We must
have moro protection for American
girls with money
Fort Worth can bravely meet all
outside opposition but how shall it de-
fend itself against those who while
profesing to be for the city and of the
city are continually stabbing tho city
between thc ribs If there are men in
F nt Worth who really believe there is
no good in the town why do they not
leave it Fort Worth would be greatly
benefited by an exodus of this char
actor
The Fort Worth Gazette says the at
torneygeneral has l everted the opinion of
tho Day This is a mistake as to the use of
terms and as to futs In legal lingo a de-
cision and not an opinion is reversed In
fact it will take a much more ablo pre-
sentation of the administrations case in
the Whatley matter than the attorney
ffcneral has made to reverse the opinion of
the Day Waco Day
In legal lingo a decision gov-
erns but if thc opinion of the Day was
a decision it was a deciion that did not
decide and therefore is but an opinion
The spectacle presented by a jury-
man a common everyday juryman
questioning the Prince of Wales in
that baccarat scandal case was a tight
lit for the gods Truly republican
ideas are gaining a great foothold in
merrie England when such things
are permitted This same juryman
how ever elicited the information that
the heir apparent was acting in the
capacity of banker during that game
What a hightoned occupation for the
future King of England to be en-
gaged in x
The liles of the Express will show
whether or not it was a Tory ardent advo-
cate of the nomination of Mr Hogs It
will say however that sineo his induction
to his present office lie lias acted conserv-
atively ha manifested an earnest desire
to do his duty according to his lights and
has by no means inaugurated the lconclas
tic policy which some of his friends were
good enough to predict for him Further-
more the Express believes Governor Hogg
to be au earnest and true friend to law aud
order and that one of the results of his
our years tenure of ofliee w 111 be an
amelioration of the verv evil reputation ne
bear abroad San Antonio Express
The Express was an opponent of Gov-
ernor Hogg s election but it has treated
him more fairly than some of his al-
leged friends

Under the circumstances Dallas
newspapers should not provoke com-
parisons Dallas bonds cannot be sold
notes due by Dallas are not paid al-
most daily fires excite suspicion and
two assignments in one day aggregate

muzzle its newspapers for however pa-
tient and conservative the press of

ways be expected A town with 1000
vacant houses has need for discreet

MAKE THEM ItPLERS IN FACT
The Democrats of the country can
unite with the People s party on one
plank of their platform The demaud
for the election of all elective officers
by thc people is a just demand Had
fucli an electoral system been in force
Cleveland would now be president of
the United States tho senate would be
Democratic and the government would
be entirely in the hands of that party
Cleveland s popular majority over Har-
rison was 97000 A direct vote of thc
people would have made him president
A number of states that usually are
Democratic by the popular vote among
them New York aud Connecticut re-
turn Republican legislatures that send
Republicans to the senate A direct
vote of the people in those states would
give us four senators instead of one
Tho electoral college and legislative
election of senators keep this govern-
ment in the hands of a minority party
There are mossbacks who cherish the
tradition of state sovereignty who will
stand up against tho proposed change
because it obliterates state lines A
popular vote for president takes no ac
count of Texas or New York as states
but the voter counts for as much in one
state as in the other The theory of
the electoral college is that the presi-
dent is elected by the states each act-
ing as a distinct sovereignty That is
not so bad a theory if wo agree that
this is only a confederation of sover-
eign states tho voters being citizens of
tho states and not of the confederation
but since the Fourteenth amendment
which makes us citizens of the United
States as a nation it looks absurd to
keep on voting by states for the ruler
of a nation If the peoplo rule they
should rule as one people and not as
fortyfour distinct aggregations of peo-
ple
Nothing can be said for the indefen-
sible system of choosing United States
senators by the state legislatures unless
it is gontended that the office is so
exalted thatjthe commonalty should not
have dealing with it except through
tho mediums t > f state legislatures
The claim is not likely to be put forth
that thc products of legislative elec-
tions for the past ten years are in any
considerable degree better than the
people would have sent to the senate
if they had had the power
The people rule by proxy Give
them the right to select their proxies
by direct voice
THE AUTHOR OPTHEEYIL
When congress was considering the
McKinley bill and had advanced far
enough in the discussion of it to indi-
cate that it would be adopted far-
sighted importers took steps to protect
themselves against it in some small
degree Feeling certain that it would
put up the tariff on all imported goods
they made enormous purchases in
France and England of dutiable arti-
cle and rushed them in under the old
tariff It was a neat bit of business en-
terprise on their part After the Mc-
Kinley bill should go into effect it
would advance the price of all mer-
chandise on which the tariff was ad-
vanced That landed in the country
under the lower tariff would share the
advance without paying the higher
rate There was a big profit in thc
business and the importations were
enormous
These goods had to be paid for and
thc tariff on them had to be paid in
gold It was then that the balance of
trade began to turn against us and
gold turned toward Europe The de-
mand for money to meet the unusually
heavy bills for European imports
brought about a financial stringency in
New York which soon communicated
itself to the interior That was the be-
ginning of the panic People who had
money in use began to take fright and
draw it in With a hundred million
dollars more in the country than there
was two years before businrs men
were pinched for money Now nearly
a year after the trouble began its ef-
fects arc still visible
The McKinley bill started thc trou-
ble The man who has gone through
ten months of struggling to get money
to carry on his business and who can
walk tip to the polls and vote for the
parly that defends and honors McKin
leyism deserves all that he has had to
bear
THE RAINS COUNTY HANGING
The hanging of Henry W Johnson
on Monday in Rains county is a hope-
ful sign It will be hailed by the public
as a welcome evidence that an occa-
sional murderer at least may now and
then be expected to get his deserts
and that thc criminal courts of tho
state find it in their power sometimes
or are sufficiently aroused to the hein-
ous character of some of the atrocities
committed tq do something in return
for the hundreds of thousands of dollars
expended annually in maintaining
them The court of Rains county is
deserving of especial praise for hang-
ing the perpetrator of an atrocious
murder fourteen months after tho act
was committed
The murderer Johnson it seems
stole upon his victim William Shumate
while the latter sat dozing in a chair
before a fire in his own house Sunday
night April 27 1890 and buried a
hatchet in his head after which thc
bloody work was finished by beating
out tho old mans brains with an ax
Of course this was as plain a case of
red handed murder as could be
imagined and tho murderer should
have stretched hemp as scon as his case
could be brought before judge and jury
But the atrocity of it did not perhaps
as it does not usually have much to do
with the conviction It is quite likely
that the murderer had no money few
friends and a poor attorney With such
poor help as they get from that sort of
a combination judges and juries may
bo pardoned if they find it difficult at
times to find excuses for disagreements
about the guilt of the prisoner or
pretexts for continuances appeals
changes of venue writs of error or such
other methods of arresting judgment or
staying execution as are known to
smart attorneys who exert themselves
for fees and big retainers If judges
and juries sitting in criminal cases of
the character alluded to displayed as
much zeal for the cause of justice and
the punishment of murderers as their
attorneys do in defending them the
price of hemp would be higher and our
criminal courts esteemed far more
highlv than they are
DEMOCRATIC CLUB SAYINGS
It is said that Henri Wattcrson is prepar-
ing a bank bill that contemplates the gov-
ernment taking unto itself tho monopoly of
distilling whisky He will make old Bour-
bon tho basis of his banking system The
older the whisky gets the better it gets and
the more it is worth especially when the
government has a monopoly So the older
the bank got tho moro solvent it would be-
come It would be a monopoly of course
but it is no worse than a monopoly of gold
or credit or money issue such as the gov-
ernment now has It is said that Governor
Gibbs has agreed to accept Wattersons sub-
stitute and move to Kentucky and start a
bank He says he kno ws w hisky is better
than bonds for he has seen one ano > tasted
tho other
Those men who propose to read every
body out of the party who has suggested
anv plan to get legal tender in circulation
should refer to the plank in the last national
Democratic platform which is violated
The Democratic party has declared in favor
of more circulating medium and at present
every Democrat is ontitled to his opinion as
to tho best method of getting it to the peo-
ple Is there any moro authority in the
national platform foe CoL Culbersons
deficit scheme than for the subtreasury
tho Gibbs hill or Senator Coke3 amend-
ment to the national bank bill Some men
who are yelling about Democracy had
better read the national Democratic
platform
Senator Cokes bill in the last congress
proposed to limber up the national bank
system so that these hanks could loan
money in their discretion on real estate and
farm products If the government con-
siders this good enough security to loan
money on indirectly through the banks why
not consider agricultural land a good
enough basis for a direct issuer Where 13
there a plank in tho national Democratic
platform more against one th3n the other
policy
Tho various methods proposed to get
legal tender circulation to thc peoplo must
bo discussed on their merits for it is no
answer to them to say they are undemo-
cratic unless you can show a plank in the
last national platform excluding them from
consideration Tho masses are too familiar
with the platform to be fooled by some
man yelling that this or that is undemo-
cratic The lost platform makes or fixes
thc standard of Democracy and not some
smart individuals declaration who may
not have read the platform
Would it be Democratic for our govern-
ment to buy nil the gold and silver brought
to it at the market price and pay for it in
legal tenders if so why not do this Then
every man would know the metal was
there and besides we might in this way
corner tho rest of the world on tho
precious metals By having our treasury
full of it we would not only be able to
redeem on demand but might occasionally
givo the European ail a twist Our gov-
ernment might buy gold with legal tenders
until England got sick for it
Instead of making deficits to issue legal
tenders as suggested by Col Culberson
why not the government build a double
track railroad from Chicago to and through
South America the governments to tho
south of us paying for and operating their
part of the line This is better than build
iag navies to fight imaginary battles or
forts to repel imaginary foes This would
put legal tenders in circulation open com-
mercial channels and reduce freights on
some lines of railways Will Sulphur
Springs permit this to be debated
When people are read out of the Demo-
cratic party the reading must be dono from
the National platform and not from any
unwritten law The platform is in politics
what the charge of tho court is in a law-
suit It is the law of the case The Demo-
cratic platforms have not always been the
same and Democrats in convention as-
sembled have a right to change them
This readingout business is very super-
fluous if not ridiculous unless tho reading
is done from the last platform and the one
to come
If Sulphur Springs and Bonham do not
read Col Culberson cut on his deficit
scheme and Senator Coke out on his
amendment to tho National bank act and
George Clark outonhis forthcoming popu-
lar system of banking they will lose their
reputation and will have to be read out for
neglect of duty They evidently have some
secret method of their own for getting this
legal tender into circulation that they dont
propose to give away but merely use to
read out by
Would it ho Democratic for the Federal
government to abolish all internal revenue
and let each state regulate tho whisky and
tobacco traffic If so they might cover tho
deficit ith legal tender issues and let the
states get all that revenue This would bo
making a deficit without increasing the ex-
penses of goicrnment Can this he dis-
cussed in a campaign of education without
a man risking his Democracy AVhat does
it profit a man to vote the ticket all his life
if he can be read out for making a suggest-
ion
If a man by reason of not having over
two hundred acres of land cant take stock
in a bank on a real estate basis yet isnt he
benefited by his neighbors with a surplus
of land starting a bank and loaniug him
monej at > per cent on such security as he
has If a man hasnt bonds he cant take
stock in a national bank If tho nation is
going to bank on its indebtedness it should
bo large enough to go atound so there could
be more banks On a basis of agricultural
land tho rural districts might have banks
ablo to move the crops
Even if by reason of thc exemption laws
a man wouldnt have real estate to take
stock in the organization of the bank
still better banking facilities and more
money in his locality would enhance the
value of his land and products Banking
is always done on surplus wealth of somo
kind As long as government bonds are
recognized as the only commodity valuable
enough to bank on the government credit
will be good and the citizens credit had
Did this government reserve the monop-
oly of issuing money to benefit the few or
protect the many Did it do this to make
banking restrictive and interest high
Democrats who believe this may belong in
the Kepnblican party Democrats who are
afraid to suggest discuss or adopt a remedy
belong in the ambulance corps Tho issue
is how to get these legal tenders to the peo-
ple and no rian can show in the last Demo-
cratic national platform oven a suggestion
on this point but will find it in the net
one in some shape
National bankers and men who now have
the big end of tho ropo will never see any
wisdom in any suggestion for a change from
the present financial system The people
aro doing somo things on their own account
and will see that the East doesnt make the
next Democratic platform and expect the
South and AVest to elect the ticket The
farmer would like on a basis of less than 10
per cent to fix up his farm to enjoy while
at work and ho knows thatthc Wall street
financiers dont v ant him to do it
After a campaign of education the next
delegations from the South to tho national
convention will know from instructions
what they aro there for
The fact that every Democrat who speaks
makes a different suggestion as to the best
method of increasing tho circulating me-
dium shows that the party has not de-
clared itself on this question and left it to
he discussed on its merits When thc cam-
paign of education gets George Clarks bill
providing a bank system and specifications
of CoL Culbersons deficit scheme and
Senator Cokes bill reforming the national
bank system thc boys will have lots of dis-
cussions and substitutes for tho Gibbs bill
the subtreasury and national bank act
They will write to Sulphur Springs and
Bonham for permission to discuss
This is an off year and an open question
and thc boys at tho forks of the creek will
discuss other peoples propositions and
make some of their own and aro not scared
about somebody suspecting their Democ-
racy It is more than shin deep
The Democratic masses are doine some
reading and somo thinking on their own
account and tha leaders will find them well
up on political questions when thc next
campaign is formally opened When tho
crops aro laid by there will bo discussions
in every school house on the political situa-
tion If the present financial system is all
right tho peoplo will say so if not they
will know tho reason why and suggest
something better The Gazette is doing
good work helping on the campaign of edu-
cation without comrnittingitself to an5 par
ticular plan Its article on European finance
or mortgage banks will add to the general
information and help the solution
Our government can buy all the gold and
silver on the homo market and pay for
them in legal tenders and store them in the
treasury Then if the supply gives out or
diminishes it can make England and other
nations go hungry for precious rnetals Wo
will pay for them in noninterest bearing
notes that are moro apt to burn up and get
destroyed than be presented for redemp-
tion If the gold and silver go up in
value our government is that much ahead
if it goes down it doesnt lose because we
have paid lor it in paper payable in the
stuff itself The government might be
forced by law to buy all that came until it
got above par Gold and silver are better
to store than to circulate
The issue or questionis not Is Gibbs
right but what is right It is not a ques-
tion of stuffing unearned money in the
pocket Of any man or class but a question
of having the government perform its con-
stitutional obligation and put enough
change in circulation to do the business of
the country on a lower interest rate
Somo men are afraid the Gibbs bill
would enhance land values It is about
time something wa3 at a premium besides
bonds and gold The higher they go the
lower every other commodity js The ob
jection is not well taken

REALTY AND BUILDING
THE ESTIMATION PLACED ON
FORT WORTH PROPERTY
An KngUshinan Refuses a Profit of S14
O0O on Fort Worth Lots Chamber of
Commerce Election Building
Owners of Fort Worth real estate have
an abiding faith in the city judging from
the firm figures at which they hold their
lots There is no insido property going
begging and in some cases owners are so
determined to get their figures that some-
thing of an injury is done A notable case
of this kind occurred when tho Fort Worth
and Rio Grande attempted to get certain
lots in the western part of the city over
which to construct a belt line One man
wanted 55000 for a narrow strip off the back
of his lot Another wouldnt take a cent
less than o000 for a part of his property
that would only bring that at top figures
This shows the faith owners have in Fort
Worth property It hasnt been many
months since the corner of Throckmorton
and Seventh was bought by a Mr Mason a
banker in England for 11000 He bought
as an investment Not long since an offer
of S22000 and then Sij000 was made Mr
Mason for his lots He declined both offers
saying he would wait until the government
building was erected and then ho would
build a house that would bring in a good
revenue
There arc several real estate deals in
process of negotiation and agents arc san-
guine that they will bring them to a suc-
cessful issue There is one trade for S145
000 that is hanging fire on a small matter
One man has Fort Worth city property and
the other Panhandle propertv In the trade
some V000 cash is to be paid the Fort
Worth man On the Fort AVorth property
is a mortgage of V0000 tha Panhandle
property is clear The thing that keeps
tho trade in suspense is this The Fort
AAorth man wants the Panhandle man to
assume tho loan but tho Panhandle man
wants it transferred to the farm property
Onlv a few weeks ago J40i0 sjilit up a
trade of nearly > 2 iO0lW Buyers and sellers
are not so very far apart but a miss is as
good as a mile
There were fivo releases of vendors liens
yesterday showing five men to have
cleared their property of all incumbrance
Two loans were made on Fort AVorth
property yesteiday for 4200

that thc s < le of wheat and oats alone will
bring U 000000 to Texas in the next few
months The cotton crop will bring 35

nounced a deep water convention was held
at the Bailey pavilion today The at-
tendance from the immediate coast country
was larjre but as the notice was
short only a few were present
from a distance The meeting was called
to order by Judge Hathaway Spirited
speeches were made by J E Elgin Judge
Kosborough Capt Bailey Jame3 Fulton
N C Belcher A J Peeler Thomas An-
drews and others The unanimous senti-
ment of each present was that justice and
commerce of the country demanded tho
opening of Aransas Pass with all possible
speed They pledged every aid in the
power of all the people present to advance
the work It was the opinion
of somo of the speakers that
work was not being pushed by the company
having the franchise from the government
to open tho pass as rapidly as it could
or should be done to show their good
faith while others wero of opinion
that the delays in getting all in readiness
and the stringency of the money market
had caused the delay and that U Lott was
fast becoming master of the situation that
in a brief while under his masterly man-
agement obstruction to Aransas Pass
would be going out as fast as men and
money could relieve
The latter opinion prevailed in the con-
vention
A committee was appointed by the con-
vention consisting of J C Fulton AV C
Belcher T H Mathis C F Bailey and
Ii H Bruhl to confer with the Aransas
Pass improvement company with power to
call any further conference or convention
that in their wisdom might seem of mutual
benefit
