confident contention of this government
that his lordship should assume
that another years suspension of
Buch sealing is not necessary
to prevent undue diminution of seal herds
and should insist that pending arbitration
it shall so on precisely as if no arbitration
had been agreed upon is as surprising as
disappointing If her majestys govern-
ment so little yespects the claims and con-
tentions of this government as to
he unwilling to forbear for a
single season to disregard them
the president cannottnueriand vrhy Salis-
bury should propose any way to give those
claims the dignity and standing which
reference to a high court of arbitration im-
plies It must not be forgotten if her maj
estys government proceeds during the
sealing season upon the basis of
Its conten ion as to rights of Cana-
dian sealers 4 ° choice is left this gqv
ernmenthut to proceed upon the basis of its
confident contention that pillagio seal-
ing in Behring sea is an Infraction of Juris-
dictional 2nd property rights His lord
ehlo will hardly fail to see this Herein
in the opinion of the president consists the
Cavity pf the present situation and he Is
not willing to be found in any degree ro
ponslble for the results that would follow
insistence by either government during this
season upon the extreme rights claimed by
it If his lordship shall adhere to
the refusal to unite with the United States
In prompt and effective measures to stop
jillagic sealing and shall insist upon free
iseahug for British subjects the question
as It affects this government i3 no longer
one of pecuniary loss or gain bat one of
tfconor and selfrespect This govern-
ment notwithstanding the fact of its
rizht to take seals upon Prybiloff
Islands undisputed and wholly uninvolvcd
in the arbitration has proposed to take no
iprofit from the island catch but limit the
iaking of seals to the necessitates of tho
natives of those islands and it cant con
cnt with indemnity or without tnat the
contested rights of British subjects
to catch seals in tho Bearing sea bo
exercised pending arbitration The presi-
dent finds it difficult tobollere Salisbury
is serious in proposing this government
take separate bonds from owners of about
ICO Canadian sealing vessels to indemnify
it for injury they may severally inflict
upon our jurisdiction or property and must
decline to discuss a suggestion which only
his respect for Salisbury and the belief
that his lordship has due appreciation of the
gravity of this discussion enable him
to treat with seriousness This govern-
ment cannot consent to have what it be-
lieves to be its rights destroyed or im-
paired pending determination by an agreed
tribunal however adequate tho security
offered Such a claim cannot be now heard
or determined by tho arbitrators without
reforratlon of tho treaty for his lordship
must remember ho has already camsdhis
point in tho treaty that arbitra-
tors haae no jurisdiction to award
damages As to his lordships suggestion
that Canadian sealers may have some claim
for compensation if Great Britain restrains
pillagio sealing tho president desires mo
to say he is not able to see how a citizen or
subject of either of the treaty pow-
ers can by any rule of law
or equity support any claim against
bis respective government growing
out of such necessary trade restraints as
the government mar iawfully impose to
promote larger conditions ofjpubllc good
and International peace The suggestion
that the conclusions of the board of arbi-
tration may not be reached and announced
in time to governsthe conduct of the parties
during the season of 1S93 is tho president
thinks fully provided against by the
treaty itself The president desires
me to say in concuslon that the modus of
last year is the least this government can
accept In reason the restraints after the
treaty of arbitration should J > e more not
less He does jot desire to protract this
discussion and having now in
the most friendly spirit sub-
mitted the considerations which support
the just demand of this government that
property which is the subject of the agreed
arbitration shall not he subject to spolia-
tion pending arbitration ho expresses the
hope that Lord Salisbury will givo a prompt
and friendly assent to renew tho modus
The president will hear with regret that
her majestys government continues to as-
sert the right to deal with this settlement
of the dispute
The president transmitted the corre-
spondence without comment

of the party Hatch retorted that Williams
had said the time was coming when the
Democratic party would have to choose
between the Democrats of Now York
and the Alliance of tho South and he Mr
Hatch was willing to make the choice
if nessessary and would swap the bare-

Greexville Tex March 24 In the
midst of a blinding rain storm Judge Clark
arrived here last night from Sulphur
Springs He was met at > the depot by a
delegation of citizens and escorted to the
Bickham hotel where he wa after-
wards serenaded The weather con-
tinued to be bad rain falling throughout
tho entire night rendering the
roads practaally impassable Not-
withstanding that lacf however
THE WACO GIANT
talked to a full house at the courthouse this
afternoon He was introduced by Judge J
S Scherrill who in presenting the speaker
referred to the depressed condition of af-
fairs in Texa3 stating that she was today
in shackles worse than ever before Tied
hand and foot it was necessary to do some-
thing for her people The issue was be-
tween Democracy and cemagogism it had
resolved itself into a fight between the peo-
ple and a favored few In every reform
movement a leader was necessary and he
took pleasure in introducing as that leader
the Hon George Clark of Waco J a man
of whom all the people of Texas had just
and sufficient reason to be proud
Judge Clark was
gexerouslt cheeeeb
as he presented himself and as at CJarks
ville began his address by stating that
Texas was now confronted with a condi-
tion not a theory For somo reason which
it devolved upon the people to investigate
and determine prosperity had left her
borders and gone no one knows where
Our prosperity had been arrested our
energies paralyzed and as there was
always some cause for every public ill ho
did not hesitate to state that in his judg-
ment the present stagnation emanated front
the government
lie did charge tho full responsibility of
the presont demoralization in the state
upon the present chief executive and did
not propose to hold him restionslble in any
measure not sanctioned by his record He
had thus far In the campaign endeavored
to eliminate from his discussion all abuse
and personalities and had no word to say
of that character regarding Governor Hoeg
There was some reason exterior to the
state lino of Texas which had bought
about the change He ridiculed the story
that the failure of Baring Bro3 had the
slightest effect upon the prosperity of the
people claiming that the state has passed
through more disastrous crises than that
and still maintained her credit and
financial probity There was some other
cause and it was found in the fact that the
chief executive had slandered the fair fame
of Texas fCheers These slanderous
statements which had retarded the growth
of the state had prevented Texas from
having 40000 milesof railroads which sho
required to develop her vast and pro-
lific territory and yet outside capital
could not under present conditions be in-
duced to seek investment within her bor-
ders Under proper conditions Texas re-
ceived 20 from abroad to 1 which she dug-
out of the ground It was not the railroad
commission which deterred the investment
of money in the state but it was the result
of a long continued and persistent warfare
upon capital which had culminated in
Hoggs election which fact was accepted
by the outside world as an Indorsement by
the voters of the state of that worthys acts
as attorneygeneral Ho then referred to
Hoggs fruitless and bootless attacks litiga-
tion against railroads and individuals and
his heartless and uncalledfor attack upon
tho land titles of the state and stated that
there was nowhere on earth a iaw so pe-
culiarly ruinous in its provisions as the
ALIEX LAND LAW
which had prostrated tho credit of the
state at one blow and left her people at tho
mercy of local money loaners
Judge Clark repeated his position regard-
ing the commission reiterating1 his demand
for an elective board His remarks upon
this subject were cheered to the echo He
referred to Hoggs campaign argument of
two years ago that the railroads were rob-
bing institutions and 5et said he had the
temerity to recommend that the sacred
school fund of the state be turned over to
these corporations
A remedy for the stagnation now existing
could not be found in appeals to passion and
prejudice or class distinction or by encour-
aging a feeling of resentment and animosity
between the farmers and the peoplo whose
homes were in the towns and cities of the
state
Mr Clark then took up the question of
what ought to bo the position of the people
regarding the great railroad system of the
state and a3in his former speeches advised
the people to adopt a policy of fair and just
treatment towards the roads
They should not bo so exacting as not to
guarantee a fair return upon investments
of this characterbut he believed the proper
course to pursue was to encourage invest-
ments promising protection to investors to
the end that Texas might as sho should
become the imperial stale of the Union
A Train Poll
A vote taken on the train between Green-
ville and Dallas last evening resulted as
follows Clark21 Hogg 12 Among tho
passengers who voted for Hogg was Frank
James who assured Judge Clark while he
could not vote for him he hoped to see him
governor of Texas somo dayt adding
that in case the convention was tied up he
might get intd the hunt as a dark horse
himself

PEOTESSOR XORRIS TEAINED DOG SHOW
will be tho attraction at Greenwalls opera

says The dog show is a cork er no7 a
barker It is the best thing of tho kind
that ever struck this cij The audienco
was in an unbroKen roar of laughter from
the time the curtain rose till the last dog
in the orchestra of intelligent canines
barked goodnight Truly It is wonderful
how much a dog can be taught and so
thoroughly do they enter into the spirit of
tho performance that the only additional
mark of intelligence they can impart to
their maneuvers is conversation They
seemed on the very point of breaking out
into dialogue
Professor Norris had the pots on chairs
arranged in a sort of semicircle and if the
purps that make life a burden lathis city
would take a tumble to themselves and be-
have just a little like these canines did last
night no one would ever think of propos-
ing a do tax
It will be welcome news to the music

Special to the Gazette
Austin Tex March 24 During the dis-
cussion of the textbook bill today a tele-
gram was read by the clerk from J K
Palmer superintendent of the county
schools of lallas county stating that the
teachers and patrons of schools there are al-
most a unit in favor of a uniform textrbook
bill and begging for Gods sake to not per
tnlt the enemies of progress and good county
schools to triumphagain
Mr Cochran sent up and had read a let-
ter from Superintendent Harris of the pub-
lic schools of Dallas imploring him to have
Dallas exempted from the provisions of the
text book bill if it pass and saying that he
had not found a dozen people in Dallas who
favored tho hiiL
Tho debate over the bill became a pitched
battle between the friends and enemies of
it The latter condemned it as paternalistic
and pernicious as well as ridiculously dis-
criminatory in that by exempting towns
and qltles from its operations It proclaimed
that what is good enough for tho country
was too bad for the cities and vice versa
Mr OBrien argued at length that the
bill was not only rank paternalism but un-
democratic in the extreme
Mr Swan contended that uniform text-
books were no less democratic than the
public schools themselves If it was demo
craticin the state to tax a man for schooling
anothers children it was democratic to re-
quire that the same text books should be
used In all tho schools
Tho vigorous opposition which the bill
encountered today and will meet tomor-
row causes its friends to view the outlook
with considerable apprehension and fear

the judges of the higher courts with
which the bill deals only must render de-
cision where a case is heard reserving the
right to give opinions later The supreme

and harmonize rather than try causes

pects that it will not please everybody
