THF Farmerb Alliance as an an edu-

FINANCIAL stringencies do not dis-

A CANVASS of Texas by Old Dave

Democratic revival Why not -Mr
Culberson the people would be glad to
hear you and there is no man in the
state who could talk more sense to the
people According to THE GAZETTES
weather prophet the summer will be
cool Why not Mr Culberson
AN impertinent Democratic organ
wants to know the difference between
Junior llanmj offense in selling offices
for cash and Harrisons selling them
for influence Same difference that
i there is between twoedle dum and
tweedle dee Raum sold what didnt
belong to him and was guilty of ob
taining goods under false pretenses

various governments Such will bo the
old countrys compensation for the in-
jury done to her industries and a very
desirable one it is too But what is to
become of us

wtiuTii
estion on this solid basis of
coin and government credit and at the
same time provide money enough for
f tliis growing countrvV
TllE constitutional amendments are
to be voted on in August If adopted
by tbe people they will be of no effect
until til legislature meets in 1SPI5 to
enact laws to carry out the direction of
the people A special session of the
legislature could provide the necessary
gislative enactments to make them
erative in addition to redisricting
e state It is as well to kill two birds
ith one stone when birds are plenty
and stones are scarce
It is very humiMating to an Ameri-
can citizen that tbe secretary of the
treasury of this the greatest govern-
ment on earth should get down on his
knees to a few Wall street bankers and
beg them to turn loose money enough
to move the crops As preliminary
even to a consideration of the question
they demanded 2 per cent bonds and a
continuation of tbe national bank sys-
tem yet there are men who not only
say that there is no financial issue but
that Democrats must not discuss the
question It is very lucky for the
party that those kinds of Democrats
are not thick in Texas
Ove way to make money scarce is
for every man to say it is scarce One
way to make money plentiful is for
every man to think it is plentiful Had
the last congress enacted unlimited
silver coinage the people would have
believed that such measure would
greatly inflate the circulation and
this very belief would havo cheapened
the value of money in the estimate of
its owners and they would have turned
it loose and thus inflated the circula-
tion There is as much money in the
country as there was a year ago but a
trier
go money was at work to earn an
st and now it has been made so

E esteemed aco Dav pulled
too quick It says Governor
pointed Whatiey evidently
without being aware of the existence of
the constitutional clause that makes
him ineligible and is now simply too
stubborn to acknowledge his error by
asking for Whatlevs resignation
There is no evidence of Attorney-General
Culbersons having given any
opinion upon tho matter In fact all
evidence points the other wsy for if
he had decided that Whatiey was
eligible it cannot be doubted that the
Austin correspondent of The Gazette
would have been advised of the de-
cision The Austin correspondent of
The Gazette was advised of the de-
cision It was published in The Ga-
zette Sunday morning It says
Whatiey is eligible Hogg reigns and

WHERE CHARITY SHOI LIJ BEGIV
Many people are blessed with tele-
scopic vision that enables them to see
distant objects but blinds them to the
world around them Of this class are
the sentimentalists who enter into so-
cieties for the amelioration of the con-
dition of the oppressed in other lands
or for the conversion of the heathen in
Africa and the South Sea islands
while at their very gates stand armies
of oppressed and within sound of their
orthodox church bells are scores of
wretches who scorn their Christ
The Easternstates are now the nur-
sery of a new society of The Friends
of Free Riissia This society includes a
great many men who spend much time
and give a great deal of money to the
cause of freedom in Russia
Every year hundreds of thousands of
dollars are sent to Ireland in aid of
home rule and so far as we can judge
by the progress made this money
might as well have been thrown into
tbe sea
The pockets of babes are drained at
Sunday school every Sunday for civili-
zing and Christianizing savages at tho
antipodes upon whom but little more
impression is made was made upon the
swine by casting pearls to them
These things are all praiseworthy
enough and it is well that they are
done at all but charity that has to go
ten thousand miles to find an object is
too far sighted to do its liest
Charity should begin at home and
stay at home as long as there is any
thiug to do
TWO TALKS FJtOK ONE PAPER
There is not apt to be very much rail
road building in Texas until capitalists rind
nut what Judge Reaftan and his team are
eoinr to do The judge has not corrtri
buted anything to the congressional litera-
ture of the country to oncourage enterpris-
ing cities to contribute bonuses and pay
taxes to secure competition which his ef-
forts as a statesman have tended to deprive
them of Judpe Reagans past services as
well as his sensitive expressions since he
became member of the state commission
have not been calculated to boom railroad
buildinir in Texas Dallas News
If tnat is true what reliance can
be placed in this piece of news printed
in the Dallas paper a few days ago
Acstix Trx June 2 The Houston and
Texas Central running from near Waco up
to Albany and a Hue from Waxahachie up
toward Terrell is about to be reorganized
under a new charter The property was
sold under mandate of the Federal court at
Galveston when the Houston and Texas
Central was sold and the purchasers have a
man now in Texas examiuing the property
and who will take charge of it This is
Mr C Hamilton formerly president of the
St Louis and Cairo and lately superin-
tendent of the Mobile and Ohio Tho pur-
chasers are preparing to extend the line
from Albany having purchased material
for the purpose They also proiiose to build
into Waco and connect with the Aransas
Pass and other lines centering at Waco
also to extend their Waxahachie line across
to Waco and from the present eastern termi-
nus toward Red river at or near Paris to a
connection with some line giving a friendly
outlet to the east It is also contemplated
to reach out from near Waco toward Aus-
tin The extension from Albany will be to
a connection with the Port Worth and Den-
ver at a point on the main line or else to the
western terminus of the Wichita Valley
railway being a branch of the Fort Worth
and Denver extcn iing westerly from
Wichita Falls
The Dallas News should get itself to-
gether Personal antagonisms should
never be permitted to obstruct the
truth
RELIGIOlS IMTOSTORS
A few years ago not more than five
or six Cincinnati had a woman intel-
ligent and more or less cultured who
claimed to be either Christ or the
mother of Christ it is not remembered
which It will perhaps puzzle the
reader to understand how she could
make plausible to any sane person her
claim to either honor since Christ in-
carnate was a man and his mother
passed away 2000 years ago But that
is a question too hard for The Ga-
zette The disciples of the woman in
question and she had them as every
freak and impostor has understood the
mystery thoroughly and weut regu-
larly to prostrate themselves in humble
worship and adoration before the
fleshy divinity of Walnut Hills Xor
were her devotees ignorant and un-
lettered people On the contrary they
were well-to-do and educated folks
amonp them being a well known lawyer
of that city whose unbalanced mind and
morbid fancy recognise divine at-
tributes in the woman to whom ha
looked for salvation Whether the
cinnati divinity has passed from earth
or recovered her senses is not known
as nothing has been heard of her or her
crazy vagaries for some time
She had her day to be suc-
ceeded by the notorious Rock
ford impostor Schweinfurth who
was the other day warned by a letter
from a band of Kansas City regulators
to get out of town in a hurry
This Schweinfurth who professes to
be a Christ also has a home at Rock
ford HL which he and his worshipers
call heaven There he lives in state
and receives in calm serenity the hom-
age and pious adoration of the fools that
gather about him His heaven has
become quite a resort for impressiona-
ble women who go thither as Mahom
medans to the holy city of Mecca The
circulation of some ugly rumors about
the mysterious rites and hidden cere-
monies practiced in Schweinfurths
holy den prompted the Illinois legisla-
ture last winter to send an investigat-
ing committee to discover if possible
some evidence that would warrant them
in bringing the impostor to justice
The mission was a failure and he is
still at large appearing recently in
Kansas City where he has a fewde
luded followers On his arrival there
the local press sought to interview him
but failed He refused to parade his
holiness or to spread his hallowed
thoughts in the profane columns of the
secular press Both were reserved for
those who could and would appreciate
them at their true worth his faithful
disciples In a day or two came the
warning to get out or prepare for a
coat of tar and feathers He referred
the matter to the mayor who detailed a
couple of policemeno guard the house
in which the impostor was stopping
At last accounts he was still there an
object of holy veneration to the mis-
guided dupes who believe on him
After noting the folly of people silly
enough to follow such a fake let us
cease to wonder at anything the cap-
ture of the Itata the sub treasury
scheme or the heated vagaries of the
anti Hoggitcs God moves in mys-
terious ways His wonders to perform
TWO SlEETIXiS
A state convention of the Peoples
party has lieen called by Mr W It
Lamb who designates August 17 as the
date of mooting and Dallas as the
place
This will bring the Peoples party
together a few weeks after the Fort
Worth meeting of the Alliance element
that oppose the sub treasury At the
Fort Worth meeting it will bo made
known whether the sub treasury or the
fellows are running
the Alliance in this state It will be
profitable to watch the effect of the
Fort Worth meeting upon the Peoples
party movements and their utterances
at Dallas
If the sub treasury winsr shall pre-
vail at Fort Worth the Peoples party
which in this state in tho sub treasury
part of tho Alliance will be in such
high glee that we may listen for some
resounding enunciations of wisdom
from the Dallas meeting The But
will be put forth in au aggressive spirit
that those who are not with us are
againt us and all Alliance members
who do not fall in with the Peoples
party movement will be made to feel
that they are in a crowd where their
presence is unwelcome
But if the opposition to the sub
treasury shall bo able to muster a ma-
jority at Fort Worth and give a strong
expression to their feelings against
that foolishness their action will have
a strong influence in checking a too
exuberant out pouring of folly at the
Dallas meeting For as it now stands
the sub treasury is the life of the Al-
liance in Texas and the Alliance is the
life of the third party Let the Al-
liance but give official utterance against
the snb treasury and the third party
having nothing to rest upon in this
state will fall to the ground
CASK WITH A MORAL
The advocates of the plan that con-
templates the loaning by tho govern-
ment of money directly to the people
upon land should recall the nature and
cause of the political upheaval u Kansas
last fall There is a grand moral in it
if rightly understood It is a obvious
and so plain the wonder is that some-
body had not long ago pointed it out
But no matter about that its force
and application are not at all lessened
or otherwise affected by delay
The situation in Kansas was briefly
that from two thirds to four fifths of
the land in the state was pledged to
Eastern loan companies for money the
rate of interest ranging from H to 9 per
cent with commission added For
whatever reasons the tariff monetary
contraction unfavorable seasons or
what not the farmers found them-
selves unable in many instances to
meet the interest even on their loans
Many of them were carried for a time
by the companies but they still re-
mained to a large extent unable to
meet their obligations and ruin
speedily overtook them following as it
did in the footsteps of the sheriff
Discontent sprang up all over the
state The cause of their hardship
and ill fortune was attributed to the
neglect or unfaithfulness of their
rulers state and Federal With a
vengeance born of poverty and despair
they rushed into politico overthrew
the machine wiped out the old regime
and elected a lot of new men to execute
their will in the state and Federal leg-
islatures
In the state legislature last winter
thes new men introduced measures of
the most sweeping and revolutionary
character Some of them were ex post
facto in character and others not
only impaired the obligations of con-
tracts but went so far as in some in-
stances to wipe them out entirely
The motives underlying this species
of radical legislation were of course
present relief to the farmers The le-
gal right to foreclose mortgages was to
be abolished or held up for a time
The right to redeem was to be extended
indefinitely and if memory serves a
bill was introduced in the lower house
canceling many loans At any rate
the policy of the legislation alluded to
was plainly in the direction of repudia-
tion and much of it would have been
enacted had not the senate btood in
ihe way
Xow suppose that all the money
loaned on land in Kansas had come
from the government instead of from
private sources Would not the temp-
tation to repudiate when debts and
poverty overlook the borrower ee too
powerful to resist Would not that be
made a political issue and the rallying
crv of thousands of farmers who would
see in it a release from debts and em-
barrassment without visible injury to
any individual There cau be it
seems but one answer to this query
The truth is that the borrowing of
money has been tho ruin of thousands
and millions Borrowing on land by
by hopeful and credulous Kansas farm-
ers merely because they had the right
and could find the money has been
their ruin It has likewise ruined a
multitude of loan companies on whose
hands were thrown millions of acres of
unmarketable and unprofitable land

ABOUT FORT WORTH
Last week was one full of importance to
Fort Worth in many ways First it saw
the harvesting of the wheat crop in all the
rich country tributary 1o this city well
under way and gave an indication of the
amount of money that would be put into
circulation to move the crop Between
Fort Worth and Quannh 1001 new binders
in audition to those already in use are now
it work harvesting the crop in the past
lew weeks over one hundred new threshers
have been sold between Henrietta and
Qtranah and they will be at work in a few
days Yesterday thousands of dollars were
paid out to harvest hands and there is an
army of them at work By June 20 the
harvesting will all be Uono a portion of tho
crop will be threshed and some of it mar-
keted Mr C H Silliman who returned
yesterday from a trip through the wheat
bolt says the baukers between Henrietta
and Quanah say at least six million bushels
of wheat will bo marketed iu tho counties
of Clay -Wichita Wilbarger aud Harde
man Tho yield will be from twenty to
thirty bushels to the acre It is expected that
1 per bushel will be realized and certainly
nut less than 86 cent3 per bushel Between
Fort Worth and Henrietta countingout th
timbered country something like 15001100
bushels of wheat will bo harvested In the
timbered section the peach and plum crop
the berries etc have yielded most abun-
dantly Hundreds of thousands of dollars
will be received for these products Corn
is lioing well Oats will yield from seventy
five to 100 bushels to the acre Cotton is
luxuriant and cattle arc fattening Jliis
applies to the country between this city
and Quanah 192 miles away on tho Fort
Worth and Denver Tho reports from the
counties on the Fort Wortlt and Rio
Grande southwest are equally good Tho
Brownwood country will market a largo
wheat crop These are the golden days of
Texas and Fort Worth All those facts
have been made know u in tho East to the
banks and also are known across the water
in England The manuger of the largest
loan company in Texas doing business and
with headq uarters at Fort V orth said yes-
terday the company would put out liKtH
a month for a year on Fort Worth and farm
property half and half As far as Fort
Worth was concerned he said tho city
never had such a basis before on which to
loan the packcry the brewery and the
cotton mill pave her a solidity wanting
heretofore As he said this he opened a
drawer in his desk and took out a cable-
gram ordering tho purchase of a block of
packing company stock Tho English peo-
ple know Texas and Fort Worth and never
had such confidence in them before
North Side Park
The Fort Worth City company has had a
force of men and teams at work on a piece
of wooded land about one and one quarter
miles north of the courthouse converting
it into a park Tho twenty acre3 in tie
park has been enclosed by a high picket
fence In tho center of tho park is a lake
covering three acres which will bo one of
the most beautiful sheets of water in Tar
ratit county On the margin of the lake
where an artesian well empties its clear
water into the lake a beautiful pagoda will
be built and a number of boats will be put
on tbe lake The timber is beautiful many
of the trees being large aud the foliage
dense Arrangements have been made to
make the park commissioner who will al-
ways be on the ground a deputy sheriff
Tho men at work in the park are now con-
structing a drive way all around the lake
Over the stream running into the lake and
over the waste way rustic bridges will be
erected Mr Sutherland said yesterday that
the park wouldbe thro wn open to the public
on July 4 for the first time The work on this
improvement has given cmyloyment to a
number of men The park has not been
named yet
The Abattoir Project
Fort Worth is a candidate for the loca-
tion of the huge abattoir aud cooling
house proposed to be erected by the Na-
tional butchers association which recently
met in Pittsburg Pa Gen Cameron re
resented Fort Worths interests at this
meeting and induced the convention to ap-
point a committee of five to visit Texas tn

Gold for Fort Worth
A loan company doing business at l ort
Worth is in receipt of a cablegram placing
850000 at its disposal for louns on Fort
Worth realty This is English money and
the men who sent this 50000 advise that
1000000 dollars is ready for Fort Wort h
during the year This is a good sign and
shows that the English people have learned
a lesson They see that the only country in
the world where their money was invested
that could take up its securities was the
United States and that Texas of all the
states met her obligatioi s promptly For a
time lack of confidence hurt but the gold
has been separated from the dross and
Texas is the gold A representative of a
Now England loan company said yesterday
that his company had not lost a dollar In
Texas loans and he did not know of a ii
pany that had
Sonth Side Development
Not only the residents but the owners of
property in tho Seventh ward and tracts of
land immediately joining it are at week
looking to the speedy development of this
portion of the city The committees ap-
pointed at a meeting h Id last week have
been at work and will be ready to make re-
ports at the adjourned meeting to be held
on Wednesday The first step that will be
taken will be the building of a street car
line as far out as Hyde park This iiue will
be built under the franchise granted by the
eity council some montns ago In order to
make the line as direct as possible the coun-
cil will be asked to open two streets leading
to tho ward There is some talk of the
Hyde Park line and the Polytechnic car
line using the same tract into the business
part of the city from a point near the union
depot addition Work on tbe Polytechnic
line which is to run to tho Methodist col-
lege now building ard to the cotton mill
will bo under way in a week or two the
money for this line being already insight
After the car lines are provided for or are
underway it is proposed by the Seventh
ward proerty owners to build houses for
sale on easy terras to those who desire to
live in that neighborhood
Fort Worth In England
About a year ago Benjamin S Brigg and
Swire Smith two citizens of London
England were sent to Texas by a large fi-
nancial institution doing business in Fort
Worth and other parts of the state They
sjient weeks in the state visiting the princi-
pal cities On their return they called the
directors together and made a report 1 hey
mentioned Galveston Houston Austin and
San Antonio and then took up Fort Worth
about which they had the following to say
Fort Worth is a newer town and lias had
a growth that can only be described as
phenomenal Originally a military out
tiost named in honor of one of the heroes
of the Mexican war it remained a mere
name until after the close of the great
civil struggle between the North aud South
and in ls7o was only a small frontier village
Ono gentleman whom he met had shot pan-
thers and hunted cayotes in what is now
the main street of the city another remem-
bered his father being shot by the Indians
close to the present courthouse Last
years city directory gives the imputation at
330u0 while its assessed value has in-
creased from in lb76 to 16300000
in 1888 To day there are eight national
banks seventeen churches niue free
schools forty manufacturing establish-
ments thirty two mues of electric street car
line an excellent water supply gas work3
and all the appliances of a thoroughly
equipped American town It claims to be
the city of -pluck and push aud certainly
it is vigorous and enterprising in a very
marked degree A few years ago it hail
only a single railway its inhabitants were
determined te make it a great railroad
center now there are eleven systems run-
ning into it seven of which are great trunk
lines A glance at a map of Texas gives
the impression that every company is striv-
ing to reach Fort Worth These benefits
have not been obtained without heavy sac-
rifices The constitution of the state pre-
vented tho voting or granting of any sub-
sidies but this did not discourage them
and we can form some idea of the character
of these people from the fact that they
have voluntarily raised nearly 1000000 and
have given it to the various corporations to
induce them to bring their lines forward to
their town Tbe natural effect has been a
wonderfully rapid development and a great
increase in the value of property One
gentleman told us that thirteen years ago
he bought a site for 300 and on it built a
house in which he has since rcsidedcosting
1000 In February of this year he sold his
property for 15000 We heard 2000 of-
fered for some plots that cost the present
owner a short timo ago 11000
Notes of Progress
