Roger Q Mills is the best adver-
tisement Texas has had up to date
Overfeeding and excessive drink-
ing are prolific causes of remorse So
is poker
The water famine in New York ren-
ders it hard for the milk dealers to
make a living1
TnE shortage of wheat in Russia does
not make American farmers walk the
floor of nights
Mills is selling away up in the pools
Still some mighty smooth people have
been bavrn in Gawgy
Mr Crisp of Georgia will be afforded
an opportunity in the ver proximate
future of investigating the concavity of
the tureen
Son Kussell had better stay away
from the next Republican convention
if ho doesn t want to queer his fathers
nomination
It is respectfully suggested on the
subject of Baby Ruth and Baby McKee
that the newspapers put them in their
little cribs and give the public a rest
Congressman Crain tells the Hous-
ton Post that Crisp will lead Mills on
the first ballot for speaker but that
Mills will gain on each succeeding bal-
lot until he is elected
TnE pension list has mounted from
350000000 to 8150000 000 within the
last ten years and is now greater than
the expense of maintaining two of the
great standing armies of Europe
Tiiat ddtimo ohrase as thick as
leaves iu Yallambrosa used to describe
plcnteousness as to numbers is to be
substituted by a ar more expressive
phrase as thick as Bean heirs in
Texas
St Paul has made up her mind
that if she doesn t get the Democratic
convention it will be her fate to have
her name rubbed off the map and be-
come incorporated as a suburb of Min-
neapolis
There are now three farmers or-
ganizations in Texas They are the
Grange the straight Alliance and
the subtreasury Alliance The larmer
can pay bis money and take his choice
of the lot
The riouston Post offers 8100 reward
for anybody found dead with a copy of
that paper upon niui Wc call the atten-
tion of the officers of the law to this in-
citer of crime and suggest that it be
properly dealt v ith
Tun two most marked results accom-
plished by the McKinloy bill have been
the reduction in the price of wool and
in the wages of the laborer although
its promoters vociferously promised it
would increase both
ExCzar Reed should get the Re-
publican nomination lie is entitled to
it It there is any way of stuffing the
rotund bully of the last congress full of
empty honors it should bo done Ho
ought to be crammed with emptiness
A Kansas man losing a wager to
another becomes his slave for a week
This will give Kansas a chance to boast
that it is the only slaveholding state
in the Unio Slavery was abolished
in the other states more than a quarter
of a century ago
With nations as with individuals it
seems that friendship will not stand
the test of being refused a loan of
money It is said that the refusal of
the German bankers to subscribe for
the new Russian loan will increase still
further the strained relations existing
between these two governments
he New York World says Mr
McKinley stys that this is the best
country in the world and it is ourduty
to keep it so And his idea of keep-
ing it so is to tax the necessaries of the
people 8220000000 a year for the
benefit of monopolists who contribute
from their bounties to swell Re publican
campaign funds
The Cleveland Plaindealer thinks
that with united rrnks the Democrats
on the living issuo of tariff reform can
carry Ohio in the presidential year
They lost the state at the late election
on oth r than national issues Wher-
ever there was a full and free discussion
of the tariff question and it was thor-
oughly understood the Democrats made
gains
The Memphis AppealAvalanche
says the pensioners are doing the coun-
try good in that they are a standing
protest against any more wars The
Memphis hyphenation seems think
it a milder fate for the nation to be
forced into bankruptcy rather than
itoafight It is wrong Better have
the life shot out of one than have it
starved out
The molders of though in other
lauds than curs have a hard time of it
An editor in the B I T was set upon
by an irate hotel man backed by a
constable who beat him up and tried
to burn his offico building and in Bra-
zil the populace mobbed and gutted a
newspaper that had given support to
Fonseca There are probably things
outside of Texas as bad as tho Texas
libel svstem
Baby McKee is to have tho crib in
which President Harrison grew and
grew when he was a baby Mamma
McKee like all good and ambitious
mammas has presidential aspirations
for Master McKee Hewill have to be
run on tho Democratic ticket however
if l wants to be elected for his grand
fathers party will have been dead and
buried long before Baby McKee reaches
the constitutional ago required for
presidential candidates
The Democratic congress will soon
be in session Complaints lodged in
the proper quarter would probably ex-
pedite the beginning of work on the
Fort Worth government building It
is now almost a year since the site was
selected and purchased and ground has
not been broken for work and so far
as the public knows no consideration
has been given to the matter Con-
gressman Abbott can probably find out
why this delay has been and do some-
thing to make the gentlemen get a
move on themselves who are respon-
sible for it
The fight for the senatorship in Ohio
appears to be made over the body of
Senator Brice Foraker wants to be
senator and pledges himself to do
what he can to keep Brice out of tho
senate while Sherman intimates that
it can t be done and he doesnt intend
to make a donkey of himself by trying
to keep him out The United States
senate meets a month before the Ohio
legislature meets and when Senator
Briee presents himself at tho bar of tho
senate with his credentials a mere ob-
jection unsupported by evidence will
not stand in the wav of seating him
The Sensation of the Epoch are
the words used to describe a new work
of fiction that has been turned out by
the collaboration of Mr William A
Bowen of San Antonio and Mr Albert
Mensen of San Francisco Mr Bowen
is the secretary of tho San Antonio
chamber of commerce We do not
know the character of tho story
vhether it is in the lino of realism or
of idealism or tho thread of the plot
but at a venture we are willing to back
with anything in reach the proposition
that if it is a realistic novel it will por-
tray with striking lifelikeness the
working of a San Antonio freelunch
route that is if Boweu uad a hand iu
the construction of it
A PRICE of S 750000 for the Chero-
kee titrip has been agreed upon be-
tween the Indians and tho commis-
sioners appointed to negotiate for
this land Such is the report
This will give about SS00 apiece to the
Cherokees or estimating a family to
average four and a half persons it will
give to each head of a family iSOOO
There are other tribes of Indians much
wealthier tho Osages having it is
said a per capita wealth of about 81500
or 6750 per family The average
wealth of the people of Texas is about
500 per capita Does this look as if
wo had robbed tho Indians of their
lands If such is the case will some-
body come along and rob us the same
way
A postal card has been received by
The Gazette containing the draft of
a proposed amendment to the constitu-
tion of the United States It is signed
by Paymaster Rodney U S Navy
The caption of the amendment reads
To preclude the right of private prop-
erty beiug carried to absurd infini-
tude The measure sought to be added
to the fundamental organ of our na-
tional government provides that no
citizen nor resident nor investor in
any or all states territories or district
comprising the United States shall be
permitted to possess in aU kinds of
property an aggregate value of more
than 81000000 which sum shall bo tho
limit of private property in any indi-
vidual jointindividual guardian trus-
tee or other form or device of private
estate ownership And whenever and
wherever such private ownership or
holding shall bo found to exceed the
limit above named the excess shall all
be condemned as a public nuisance and
a public peril and be accordingly for-
feited into the United States treasury
And the states etc shall each and
all enforce this amendment by neces-
sary or penal legislation failing which
congress shall so enforce it
There must be at least 63000000
people out of the 64000000 that consti-
tute the population of this country
who are violently yearning for a law
that will check their acquisitive greed
when it reaches the milliondollar
limit Editors especially those of a
poetic temperament would like to bo
stopped somewhere in their mad
scramble after wealth and to them can
Paymaster Rodney look for earnest co-
operation in bringing about the adop-
tion of his proposed amendment
THE MAN FROM MAINE
Tho selection of a Northwestern
city as tho place for holding tho next
Republican national convention is con-
sidered unfavorablo for the renomina
tion of tho present incumbent of the
presidential office It has made the
man from Maine loom up once more on
tho political horizon with lustrous
prominence and his enthusiastic devo-
tees are hailing his expanding chances
for the nomination with as much fervid
acclamation as that with which fire
worshipers greet the rising sun Tho
Columbus Dispatch grows efflorescent
iu its language over the popularity and
presidential strength of the man from
Maine and refers to the possibility of
his nomination in the following signifi-
cant words
It may bo so arranged that the re
nomination of President Harrison by
the Republican convention in Minneap-
olis next Juno will be a foregone con-
clusion owing to preliminary agree-
ments But even if Mr Harrison is re
nominated it is certain that the people
of tho United States will read that
James Gillespie Blaise was the center
of interest Peath is the only impedi-
ment to the coming enthusiasm for Mr
l S Wi r fcWj si
Blaine It will be seen that all the
Western and Central states with a very
few exceptions will send delegates
who will go wild when the name of the
man from Maine is mentioned The
Pacific Coast states will have delegates
who will demand a consideration of
Mr Blaine the Northwest will be rep-
resented by men who will yell for
Blaine and Reciprocity from the
time they reach Minneapolis until they
leave the Mississippi valley men will
join in the grand chorus and wish for
Blaine even though they may vote for
Harrison As sure as the sun will rise
on the coming convention days Mr
Blaine can be the nominee if he desires
the honor The tidal wave of his pop-
ularity was never at so great a height
as now and it only needs the removal of
a barrier sustained by courtesy rather
than 4by strength to make the flood
overwhelming among tho men who will
represent the Republicans of tho
respective states Mr Blaine is master
of the situation and if he accepts or
puts aside the crown he will not in-
crease or diminish his just fame
LETS LOOK OUT FOU OUKSKLVES
Immigrants of the better class are
pouring into Texas from the East
North and the Southeastern states
They are brought to Fort Worth by
tho railroads and from this point they
are distributed to their several destina-
tions None of them so far as is
known remain in Fort Worth or Tar
rant county We merely receive them
and send them on their way but we
hold none of them
And yet there are thousands of acres
of land in Tarrant county as productive
as any the sun sends his daily beams
upon that may be had at prices but
little in advance of what is paid for less
really productive lands a hundred or
two hundred miles west of us far off
tho railroads and remote from market
centers In every way theso Tarrant
county lands are preferable to the far
West lauds It is impossible to get
more than rive miles off a railroad and
the greater part of out farms aro not
three miles from a railroad There is
a fairly good system of graveled roads
now in some parts of tho county and
the people have voted a tax to so im-
prove the system as to give Tarrant
county tho best roads in the state Our
rural society is good and neighborly
Schools are abundun and well main-
tained
But with all these tilings with cheap
lands and rich with transportation
and market conveniences agreeable
society good schools and churches
our county population is not growing
In the ten years from 1SS0 to 1S90 it
does not show even the natural increaso
that the excess of births over deaths
should give us
Our people have sp nt thousands of
dollars in advertising tho state of
Texas and in booming the West but
what have they done to tell of the de-
sirable qualities of their own county
Nothing
It is no wonder theL that the stream
of immigialion from the East to the
West passes by us thinking no more
of Fort Worth and the country lying
around it than as a stopping place to
rest a day or two before moving on to
the West To get our share of theso
people to build up a larg9 country
population immediately tributary to
Fort Worth wo must make the world
acquainted with what wo have and
convince immigrants that they can do
better here than anywhere else To do
this work an organization of purpose
and effort is needed
Who will be the man to head a move-
ment to got the people together and
tell the world what Tarrant county has
for it

Charley Hayes vs the State from
Bosque Theft of cattle L The facts or
rather material facts adduced were that
one Canfield was tho owner of the alleged
steers and tho brand on them He had ad-
vised one of his neighbors against ostraying
one of the alleged stolen steers prior to the
theft as it belonged to Canfield Subse-
quently the steer came into appellants pas
ture the fence being down and appellant
knew the steer to be in his pasture Janu-
ary G 16S9 appellant spoke to parties about
coming to his cattle pen the next morning
to assist in driving some cattle to KopperL
The cattle were found in the pen next
morning Appellant came to the pen ac-
companied by a man named Green who sold
the alleged stolen cattle to appellant then
and there giving tho latter a bill of sale
When the bill of salo was given Green
changed marks and brands of the cattle
Green disappeared and has never been
found The defense of appellant was that
of an innocent purchaser Held There
was no error in failing to charge upon cir-
cumstantial evidence The wrongful taking
was at the pen and is proved by direct and
positive testimony Affirmed Davidson
J Hurt J dissents and holds that the
court should have charged on circumstan-
tial evidence and failure to do so was error
