Our English ecclesiastical friends
enlivened the decorous order of things
in the Methodist ecumenical council by
having a little tilt over politics Be-
ware brethren of mixing your politics
with your religion or with anything
else By that sin fell the Farmers Al-
liance
The isolation of the farm is its curse
and yet with perversity unaccountable
those who pose most prominently as
friends of the farmer resist every effort
to give the farmer the benefit of passa-
ble roadways when such means of com-
munication would do more to relieve
the isolation of tho farm than anything
else
MUCH solicitude is expressed by per-
spiring patriots for a mortgagerid
den people No man is compelled by-
law to borrow money but thelaw of
Texas prevents him from jeopardizing
his homestead by mortgage If men
desire to borrow money for any pur-
pose why should any set of men since
the home is protected assume to deny
the right of borrowing money to any
The Connecticutters will likely have
cause to thank themselves for a politi-
cal row that is going on in that state
Both the Democratic and Republican
candidates for treasurer claim to have
been elected and they are lawing over
the office It is said that the collection
of state taxes cannot bo pushed until
this matter is settled and the Connect-
icut taxpayers are chuckling and re-
garding with indulgent eye the law s
delay
The Tyler Record is patriotic and all
that but it can restrain its ardor It
says The Record believes that tho
state is yastly injured by tho alien land
law inasmuch as cheap money is cut-
off by the thousand We are d pa-
triotic but we have not yet reached the
point where we prefer paying IS per-
cent for a Now Yorkers money instead
of h or 10 per cent for an Englishmans
gold It takes a politician to grow pa-
triotic to that extent We aint in it
The Dallas organ of the subtreasury
party says The Mercury desires to
ask those who demand the repeal of
thealion land law Why should Amer-
ican citizens be in financial bondage to
foreigners and work to pay them inter-
est when we can make our money and
use it for the same purpose and retain
at home the interest that now goes to
fatten foreign aristocracy This is
an admission of what The GAZETTE
has been declaring The subtreasury
party indorse the Gossett law because
it drives money out of the state and
tends to make the people desperate
Through the desperation of the people
the subtreasury leaders hope to re-
cruit the ranks of a pawnshop policy
An uncontradicted report is going
around through the papers that the
city council of Dallas had appropriated
5130000 as a bonus to secure the loca-
tion of a packinghouse in that city
We do not know what authority the
city charter of Dallas gives it in appro-
priating tho public funds for such pur-
poses but if any such authority is
granted by that instrument it is con-
trary to that clause of the state consti-
tution which declares that no county
city or other municipal corporation
shall hereafter become a subscriber to
the capital of any private corporation
or association or make any appropria-
tion or donation to the 6ame or in any-
wise loan its credit If the National
butchers association ha3 set its heart
on an appropriation from the Dallas
city council it must nervo itself to bear
the chagrin of disappointment
We quote an instructive paragraph
from The Gazettes Indian Territory
special
The fullblood element have complet
control of both branches of the
Chickasaw legislature and are bit-
terly opposed to the cultivation of
largo farms by their halfbreed and adopted
brothers The fullbloods nearly all live in
tho vicinity of Tishomingo They have
scfall farms with three or four white fam-
ilies for tenants while tho halfbloods and
adopted white citizens live in the western
portion of the nation and have opened up
largo farms havn hundreds of white ten
mM m M i
P
ants and are prosperous to an unusual de-
gree the rich lands they have put in culti
vationyielding them a bountiful harvest
each season The fullbloods look upon
this as an innovation and are determined
to harass them as much as possible They
prefer to see their broad prairies and rich
valleys covered with cattle and wild ani-
mals rather than to see their more enterpris-
ing neighbors reapinggolden harvests as the
fruits of pluck and enterprise But they
are gradually being forced to adopt tho
white roans ways and accept the Inevitable
tho opening of their country to enter-
prise and progress
The contest going on in Texas be-
tween the subtreasury andjilien land
law fullbloods and tho Democratic and
progressive halfbloods might be con-
sidered in the light of what is doing in
the Indian Territory
CONDEIDTAIILE JEALOUSY
Velaseo has now without doubt the deep-
water harbor of the state Evidence from
too tnanj different sources proves this In-
stead of building a town on tho prospect of
deep water she first obtained her deep-
water and no w has her town building boom
Of the character of the boom or the desira-
bility of her situation nothing need be said
but forthe insane jealousy which is evident
in other coast towns with prospects for deep-
water there should be much condemnation
There should moreover bo a welllearned
lesson for us Uj the Brazos work and wo
should spend all of our efforts now in one
direction for tho opening of our harbor
and reap the rewards thereafter Texas
can well afford many good seaports and
Velaseo has in her natural tributary terri-
tory fully enough for her enrichment with-
out encroaching upon that which will como
to us Indefatigable effort has been re-
warded there and all just men will not envy
their well earned profit Corpus Christi
while she still has her samo great hope for a
fine harbor has shown none of tho spirit
manifested elsewhere which seeks to cry
down and belittle a worthy ace mplish
ment Confident in her many advantages
she can afford to be above anything save
honorable rivalry with all ether Texas sea-
ports Corpus Christi Caller
The example bet by tho Caller might
be followed by the few newspapers in
Texas that seek to discredit the boom
of deep water at Velaseo
For years Texas has been praying for
deep water for years Texas has been
told of the great good to come to the
state through deep water but when
deep water has been secured at Velaseo
a few Texas newspapers permit them-
selves to be influenced by jealousy
prejudice or disappointment and seek
to discredit that which the state has
been so long hoping and striving for
Surely the acquisition of deep water
at any point on the Texas coast should
cause all the state to rejoice and be ex-
ceeding glad Deep water is tho ful-
fillment of long years of promise deep-
water will divert Northwestern ship-
ments to the benefit of Texas deep-
water will increase the population the
trade and tho wealth of Texas and deep-
water should bo welcomed by every
Texas newspaper as it is by the Corpus
Christi Caller And Texas newspapers
in and out of Galveston that seek to
disparage what for years they have
professed to work for will not bo able
to obstruct the progress of the state
matte possible by deep water at Ve
laseo Deep water at Velaseo speaks
for itself and the good to result will be
measured by people for themselves
without reliance on those who are actu-
ated by jealousy prejudice or disap-
pointment
WARRING OVER THE DEAD
It appears that Parnell dead Is going
to be a name to conjure by His fol-
lowers are already bringing up his
hard treatment to excite the Irish fol-
lowers of his fortunes to renewed ac-
tivity He is held up as a much abused
man whose proud heart was broken by
his friends turning upon him and who
was driven to the grave by their in-
gratitude and the venom of the En-
glish Tho plan of tho Parnell party
in Ireland is plainly to make a martyr
of Pa ecu
That will te a hard tiling to do It
is well to speak nothing but good of
tho dead but when the living attempt
to make a shield cf the dead the vul-
nerable places in that shield will not
remain untouched The friends of tho
late Irish leader will show the greatest
respect for him by letting hi3 namo
and the recent history that that name
recalls sleep in tho peace of the grave
Mr Parnell did an act that dis-
honored him in the minds of his people
It is to the credit of the Irish nation
that their sense of virtuo revolted at
the defilement of the family and that1
they repudiated the leadership of the
man whom they had delighted to
honor with no thought of condoning
his offense against morality because he
was a great man It was not the Eng-
lish enemies of Ireland who overthrow
Parnell but the Irish friends of virtue
who knew that under the leadership of
such a man their struggle for Ireland
was hopeless In three parliamentary
contests among Irish constituencies
where the issue was clearly made be-
tween Parnellism and anliParnellism
his candidates were defeated His fol-
lowers in parliament deserted him and
chose another leader The patriotism
of such men as Healey McCarthy
Daviltand others cannot be doubted
men whoso loyalty to Ireland has been
tested by persecution and imprison-
ment To proscribe these men because
they threw off the leadership of a man
who bad brought disgrace upon himself
and discredited the cause for which he
stood will be a harder thing to do than
tho very indiscreet friends of Mr Par
nell hare any thought of
The kindest thing to the dead and
the most considerate thing for the liv-
ing is to drop Parnells same and come
together for the good of all Ireland
Let the body of Patroclus lie as it fell
and spend the blood of his friends
against the general enemy

SOME CURRENT COMMENT
Tho spectacle of Mme Boulanger mourn-
ing with evident sincerity for tho death of
a husband who had deserted her for another
woman and who apparently had no parting
thought for her is certainly anything but
Parisian Tho touching lesson of her grief

O Dispatch
The Minnesota supreme court has declared
all operations in gram margins to be null
and void but there is a law of trade more
powerful than the law of tho state which
allows these transactions and compels the
loser to pay his losses Until that law is
changed tho stato may legislate and the
supreme court may decide but gambling in
margins will go on just the same Phila-

The inability of the Farmers Alliance of
Kansas to make arrangements for the es-
tablishment of a daily paper at Topeka may

composure No publication can be long

The fact that a movement has begun in
Ohio on the part of Republicans to over-

What to Eat
New York Sun
Lillian Russell in reply to a writers
question In regard to tho complexion says
I hold that plain food very little wine a
great deal less ice water and plenty of ex-
ercise do more for the beauty of the skin
than all the preparations known to the
chemist Whatever overtaxes or pros-
trates the action of digestion affects tha
whole system If the stomach is out of or-
der the complexion will be unhealthy Ex-
ercise regular and systematic is the price
of my health Before retiring I bathe my
face in hot water in which a few drops of
tincture of benzoin havobcen dissolved
making a milkwhite soapy fragrant bath
After a thorough washing I rinse it in cold
water and dry welL I then apply a very
little cold cream working it into the skin
with my hands until my face perspires at
every pore and rub with flannel until it is
dry After my bath in the morning I dust
my face with a little pure rice DowderThat
catches the dust that otherwise would
lodge in the pores of my face I always
wear a veil in dusty windy weather and
also when traveling to keep the soot and
smoke from getting into my lungs and skin
There isnt much to tell you see and the
only secret about a good complexion is good
general health
Road and Civilization
Wellington SmithMimtntown Pa
Roads are an outgrowth of civilization
The more civilized and enlightened a na-
tion the more nearly does its system of
roads approach perfection Any age or na-
tion is best understood by the character of
its roads If they have no roads at all they
are savages Tb Romans were the best
ancient road builders and among the best
in modern days are those of the English
French and Germans Sharp competition
In trade with lack of railroads render good
roads a prime secessity It is said a farm
two miles from market oyer a bad road is
farther off than one lour miles off and OTer
a good road Nature of soil with local char-
acteristics hare much to do with the cost of
construction and hence quality of roads
but it Is with nations as with Individuals
where there is a will there is a wayJ In
cities we may say roads are perfect in
larger towns less so In smaller ones still
less and in rural farming districts we find
them hardly telerabfe and reaching out Into
xemotet eastrkta w n T aha hedge
s6SS
chnckholes and boulders the roads cor-
responding exactly to the decree of ciii
Ued progress And the difference is less
sesthetic than utilitarian Good roads
shorten distance O They save wear and
tear They save horses Tney add to the
value of real estate They multiply busi-
ness The writer caurgct 2 cents more a
bushel for wheat by hauling two miles far-
ther aud can draw forty bushels with two
horses This would be 80 cents more but
loss of timo and wear and tear arising
from bad roads are so great that tho i0
cents are no inducement And even the
fact that lumber is usually from SO cents to
1 less at the same place is not a sufficient
setoff against halfcivilized roads Only
good roads are true economy
MctliodUU In Council
Boston HeiaUl
Some ten years ago a general conferenco
of Methodists was called to meet in Lon-
don Thither wont the great lights of the
Methodist church in America and there
gathered bishops clergymen and laity from
other lands It was called tho ecumenical
conference though it was a social and in-
tellectual gathering rather than a canonical
one A similar meeting i < now in progress at
Washington About five hundred delegates
are in attendance S0O from the American
churches and 200 from foreign lands It is
a largo meeting representing various confer-
ences and comrreifationa aggregating more
than fiftyfivo million communicants The
gathering also represents all branches of
Methodism and is a practical lovefeast
of thedenomination wherever scattcrei over
tho earth
Tho Methodist church is a body of won-
derful vitality It is ono of the latest
formed sects of Protestantism and in less
than two centuries has grown from noth-
ing to one of the largest religious denomi-
nations Its creed and discipline appeal
strongly to the masses of the people and its
organization is peculiarly adapted to mis-
sionary enterprise Liko the Caholic
church it holds its followers in loyalty to
its standard and increases its membership
at a rapid rate Its chief strength is its
plainness and enthusiasm The one invites
all mankind and the other bids fair to cap-
ture the world
Tho Washington conference is looked
upon as a most important meeting though
it will do nothing to change a doctrine or es-
tablish a new law for tho Methodist church
However it will discuss Itvo questions and
tho result of the conferenca will be to sug-
gest lines of policy with reference to some
of the great and burning questions of the
day This council will serve as an inspira-
tion to tho regular conferences throughout
the world and it is likely that educational
missionary charitable and evangelical
w ork in tho church will take on new de-
partures as tho outcome of the Washington
meeting
A SHARPER
PRESIDENT Or THE ADAMS EX-
PRESS BOUNCED
The Charge Against Kim JIiireataiice in
Olrlce Action Taken at a 31eet
insr of thS Directors
New York Oct 13 Tho dismissal of
President John Hoey of tho Adams express
company came as a complete surprise to
the business community Msny men promi-
nent in business affairs did not
hear of the dismissal until today
although the decisive action was
taken by the board of directors of the com-
pany at a meeting held lato yesterday even-
ing VicePresident Clapp Spooner at tho
samo meeting handed in his resignation
Both men are charged with malfeasance

A meeting of the board of directors of
the Adams express company was
held here today Henry Sandfoid
was elected president and Fred K Love
joy vicepresident to succeed Messrs
Hoey and Spooner Tho poiition of trustee
vacated by Mr Spooner was left vacant

the members of the board wero present
with the csccption of Mr Spooner
Mr Hoey was present Kc
eluded tho reporters Clarence
A Seward presided Mr Sandford arose
atid asked Mr Hoey to resign his position
on the board of directors Mr Hoey flatly
refused Ho said that the direct-
ors could put him out of the
presidency but it was beyond
their power to displace him as a director
He is reported to have made quite a speech
No objection was made to his sitting as a
member and exiting his vote Some
of the board are of the opinion
that they have power to eject him
Mr Sandford was nominated for president
by W P Densmoro and wa3 elected by a
majority of six votes L C Weir re-
ceived two votes Fred K Lovejoy
was unanimously elected vicepresi
dent President Sandford at once
