was sick and seemed to be homeless
He took tho poor fellow home nursed
him back to health fed him let him
go and forgot about it A few days

PRESIDENT HARRISONS DISAP-
POINTMENT
President Harrisons tour through
Texas is so arranged as to show him
very little of the real wealth and flower
of the state He will go from Texar
kana to Galveston via Longview and
from Galveston he will go to San
Antonio and El Paso entering the
state on the 1 7th and leaving it on the
22d only five days being given to this
Southwestern empire By the route
selected the president will see a coun-
try of pine trees a rich fruit district a
good deal of the cotton district a great
many negroes somo good country
towns the slow going old cities in
Houston and Galveston and more ne
groes In San Antonio he will see the
quaintest town in America a goodly
place tho best on his route and west-
ward therefrom ranches of cattlo and
sheep and jack rabbits But the real
Texas of to day the Texas of which
men read the busy restless cities of
Fort Worth and Dallas and the West
Texas towns that are marching after
these two the enterprising and typical
white Americans who are building up
North Texas with agriculture and man-
ufactures the goodly black lands so
full of cotton and corn and wheat the
neat stock farms with their sleek herds
and droves he will know as little of as
he knows now Tho Texas that will
always be in his mind is tho Texas of
twenty five years ago
THAT DALLAS VOTE
The Dallas News insinuates that tho
vote cast in that city last Tuesday was
an honest one but this is the tale of
woo as told by somo well known citi-
zens of the Three Forks
In support of the bcllof that many illegal
votes were cast in this election we call at-
tention to the following facts
In the election held November 4 1S90 at
which tho governor and all state county
and judicial officers were elected the total
vote polled for governor was GiOO while the
vote for inaor on Tuesday last was 6 143 an
increase cf GCJ9 votc3
Many citizens w itb excellent opportuni-
ties for information do not hesitate to say
th it there has been little or no increase of
votes in Dallas since November 4 190
it must be borne In mind too that on ac-
count of the acquirement of a residence of
sis months in the city in order to become a
voter no mm who removed to Dallas since
October 7 liOO could lawfully vote in this
election
Thore is no reasonable rule of calculation
based upon interest in the general olection
or upon the ofikial census which will satis-
factorily explain this unparalleled increase
in voters
In addition to this old citizens who have
Attended upon all elections for years past
and who remained at the polls all day saw
great numbers of persons offering to vote
whom they could not recognize as living in
the city Some of these were successfully
challenged but the most of them found
ready witnesses to make th3 necessary
suitement to authorize the election ollkers
to receive their votes In most instances
the place of alleged residence and tho char-
acter of voters and their witnesses made it
utterly impossible to detect fraud especi-
ally during the hurried hours of an exciting
election
The facts and circumstances of the elec-
tion are sufficient we think to satisfy all
unbiased minds In favor of fair elections
that they cannot be had In cities of largo
size under ordinary circumstances without
a system of registration of voters ana we
call upon the Democrats throughout Texa3
to aid in an cfiort to secure an amendment
to our constitution under which official reg-
istration laws may be enacted at least for
all cities over 10000 inhabitants

that the old clause allowing slavcr

Money is not antagonistic to abor
Tho lack of money is the cause of
the present stagnation of business in
Texas In Fort Worth anil Dallas
there are hundreds of industrious
men out of work because for want of
money there is so little work doing
3t would bo hard to get an opinion
from one of these men that he was
opposed to capital We need capital
and we need laws to invito it to
this state A sensible liberal corpo-
ration law will do it Now when
11 onej in the Fast is held back from
investment in railroad stocks and
bund- and other speculative properties
is a good time to encourage it to turn
to Texas
To Mr Gouid In dspito of no
slight partiality for other places on the
part of thv local management of certain
Texas railroads you will find at Fort
Worth these things

POPULARIZING SENATORIAL ELEC-
TIONS
Two states have made known through
legislative resolutions their desire to
have the people select United States
senators by direct vote instead of by
state legislatures These resolutions
aro supposed to reflect the sentiment of
tho new Farmers Alliance element in
politics as it is known that the Alli
rnee looks with disfavor upon the pres-
ent method of choosing the members
of one of tho branches of the national
congress But it does not appear that
this view is well founded for tho legis-
latures that have asked for the change
in the constitution to reach the end
proposed are not largely made up of
Alliance members while in those states
where the Alliance has control there
was no such resolution passed One
would suppose that the Kansas Ne-
braska and South Carolina legislatures
which are under the rule of the Alli-
ance would have been tho first to de-
mand this change in the constitutional
mode of electing United States sena-
tors but the matter has been passed by
without action so far as they are con-
cerned
There are many good reasons for the
proposed change and as many and as
pood against it The best outcome of
popular election would be a Democratic
senate Several states are in the habit
of sending Republicans to the United
States senate and at the same time they

are fairly reliable Democratic on the
popular vote New York has had no
Democrat in the national senate since
Francis Kernan who was elected by
the groundswell of 1ST4 though it has
more often gone Democratic than Re-
publican Connecticut has kept two
Republicans in the senate since Eatons
term expired ten years ago and at al-
most every state election the Demo-
crats have polled more votes than any
other party Ten states now have
Democratic governors that are repre-
sented in whole or in part by Repub-
licans in the senate If there is any-
thing to gain by the proposed constitu-
tional change it will be to the Demo-
crats and for that reason if for no
other the change cannot bo made for
the Republicans will vote to defeat it
Wnr NOT AT CHICAGO
Texas as a state will not send an
exhibit to Chicago but why cannot the
Texas Spring Palace be roproduced at
tho Worlds fair Why cannot Texas
iron Texas marble Texas granite
Texas sandstone Texas coal Texas
wood Texas grain Texas cotton and
other Texas products bo constructed
and woven into a grand peculiar
practical und comprehensive exhibit
of what Texas offers to capital and
homeseekers Why cannot a joint
stock company be formed to do this
great work for the greatest state of
the Union
Why cannot the people of Texas do
what the legislators of Texas were not
assured tho people desired done
What say Llano Cherokee Mitchell
Gillespie Mason Webb Brown
Burnet Jack Palo Pinto Wise
Young Marion Cass and other
mineral counties What say the grain
cotton sugar tobacco pecan fruit
vegetable and grass counties of the
state
Why not open the eyes of tho world
to what Texas is by a Texas Spring
Palace at Chicago us the eyes of tho
United States were opened by tho
Texas Spring Palace at Fort Worth
LIQUIDATING Ills INDEUTEDNESS
In the Ohio Republican state conven-
tion that met in the spring of 1SS8 to
select delegates to the national conven-
tion John Sherman was a candidate for
president and his hope of success was
built upon the undivided support of his
state delegation There was opposi-
tion to him though and this opposition
was about to unite on Congressman
McKiuley He and Sherman or his
friends and Shermans friends got to-
gether and patched up tho rent in the
party and MeKinley firmly refused to
let himself be considered a presi-
dential possibility Tho Ohio delega-
tion was instructed for Sherman
The first ballot at the Chicago con-
vention showed that Sherman could
barely be considered in it Many
of his supporters were cold and weary
with fruitless ballotings Occasion
called McKiuley to tho stand and ho
inado a catching speech that awoke
great enthusiasm and it looked like a
stampede was about to 6et in for him
which would have wrecked Shermans
fortunes in an instant But MeKinley
stood against the great temptation and
resolutely forbade the Ohio delegates
voting for him He hold steadfast for
Sherman to the last though it was
without avail and carried out his part
of the agreement
His reward has come Sherman has
had himself interviewed and pro-
nounces for MeKinley for president
Harrison is not the man Ho is too old
and tho people ask for a younger man
Sherman is himself an older man than
Harrison and this meaning is that ho
give3 up tho ambition of his life and
turns to carry out the uncompleted
part of tho bargain made and entered
into between him and MeKinley in

For the Gazette
From the Seventeenth century and even
from the middle ages it has been acknow-
ledged that tho HebrewsPhoenieians Sy-
rians Carthagenians Arabs Babylonians
and Abyssiniaus have spoken lauguages
most intimately connected
Eichorn proposed in the last century to
call theso languages sehemitie which may
be so termed although most inexact
In tho beginning of this century this Eng-
lish scholars thanks to their knowledge of
Sanscrit at Calcutta and tho German philo-
logists ospecially JL Bopp show that the
ancient idioms of Brahinanic India tho
dialects of Persia the Armenian many of
tho dialects of the Caucasus th3 Greek and
Latin and their derlvitives tho Sclavonic
the German and the Keltic form one vast
family distinguished from the shemitic
group under the name of Indo European
THE ASCIEXT LITERATURE
of India Greece Persia and Teutonic na-
tions are of a common stock The literature
of the Hebrews and the Arabs have much
in common
The Indo European nations had from
their beginning an old code of which the
remains are found in tho Brahmans of In-
dia in the forms of the Romans and in tho
laws of tho Celts the Germans and the
Sclavs
The patriarchal life of the Hebrews and
Arabs was governed by laws totally differ-
ent Tho Indo European nations had in
their beginning with the same language also
the same religion this religion tho worship
of the powers and the phenomena of nature
leading by philosophical developments to a
sort of Pantheism
The religious development of tho shemitic
nations obeyed laws totally different Juda-
ism Christianity Islamism possess a
character of dogmatism absolutism and
severe monotheism which distinguishes
them radically from the Indo European or
as we term them tho pagan religions
Putting China aside as a world of itself
and the Tartar races as scourges acting to
destroy the works of others Egypt which
is neither shemitic nor Indo European has
had a considerable part in tho history of
the world neither is Babylon of purely
shemitic creation
The Indo European nations and the
Shemitic nations I say nothing of Jews
whose singular historical destiny has given
them an exceptional position among man-
kind the Musselmau the Shemitic mind
is everywhere represented in our tirae3 by
Islamism and the European are like beings
of a different species possessing no one
habit or thought in common What havo
the Shemitic nations contributed to that
organic and living whole civilization Wa
find first that in political economy we owe
them nothing Political life is that which
is perhaps tho most innate and peculiar to
Indo European nations for they alone
nave known liberty and comprehended the
constitution of tho state and the liberty of
the subject Wo never find among them
those great despotisms which reduce man
to a sort of an abstract state a nameless
function destroying all individuality as wo
see in Egypt Babylonia China and in Mus
selnian and Tartar despotisms
LOOK AT THE LITTLE REPUBLICS
of Greece Italy and Germanic feudality
tha grand central organizations of which
Rome gave tho first model and of which the
French revolution reproduced the idealand
you will always find a vigorous moral ele-
ment and strong sense of the public weal
Individuality was but littlo secured in
Sparta The petty democracies of Athens
and of Italy in the middle ages were nearly
as ferocious as the most venal tyrant Tho
Roman empire reached partly through tho
influence of the East to an intolerable des-
potism
German feudality bordered upon brigand-
age Tho French under Louis XIV al-
most emulated the excesses of the Mongol
dynasties Tha French revolution fre-
quently compromised liberty in no trifling
degree but prompt reactions have always
saved theso nations from the consequences
of their errors The Shemitic east htis
never known any medium between the
complete anarchy of tho wandering Arabs
and sanguinary and unmitigated despotism
The idea of tho public weal or the public
good is entirely wanting in these nations
The true and complete liberty such as the
Angio - Saxon race has realbed
a grand state such as the
Roman empire and Franco have
engendered have been equally un-
known to them Tho ancient Hebrews and
the Arabs have been the most free of men
but conditionally subject to having on tho
morrow a chief who takes off their heads at
pleasure In art and poetry what do we
owe them Nothing in art These nations
have but little art in them but in poetry we
hold in common with them mora than ono
point in resemblance
Milton Lamartine Lamonnais would not
havo existed to day without the Psalms
The Psalms have become in ono respect
one of our sources of poetry In science
and philosophy wo are exclusively Greek
Tho search into causes knowledge for the
sake of knowledge is something of which
there is no trace previous to Greece Baby-
lon had science but not the real elements
of science Egypt had knowledge but she
could not produce tho elements of Euclid
Arabian science and Arabian philosophy
aro often alluded to and during one or two
centuries in the middle ages tho Arabs
were our teachers but only for a while
until we became acquainted with the
Greek originals When closely examined
moreover this Arabian science
HAS NOTH1KO ARABIAN
in it Its foundation is purely Greek
Among its originators there is not a singlo
true Sliemite they were all Spaniards and
Persians who wrote in Arabic
If we examine the question of morality
we shall find tha Shemitic morality very
high and very pure
The Mosaic code contains exalted Ideas of
right The prophets are most eloquent
tribunes Wa must not forget that tho
morality of the gospel was first pleached
in a Shemitic tongue As regards industry
invention material civilization wo are
much indebted to the Shemitic nations
Commerce and the industrial arts were first
carriedon on a grand scale by a Shemitic
people or least oy a people speaking the
Shemitic tongue in tho Phoenicians In
the middle nsres the Arabs and Jaws were
our masters In Doint of commerce All the
luxuries came from tho East up to the
Seventeenth century There Is one in-
disputable gift a gift of the highest order
and which should place the Phoenicians
nearly on a par with their brothers tho
Hebrews and Arab3 In the history of
progress our alphabet This wo nava
from the Phoenicians Tne characters
which wo now use are through a thousand
transformations the same with which tha
the Shemites first expressed tha sounds of
their language The Greek and Latin
alphabets from which our European alpha-
bets are all derived are no other than the
Phoenician alphabet Phonetic writing
that luminous Idea of expressing each ar-
ticulation by a sound and reducing all
these articulations to a small number
twenty two was an hxrention of the Shem
ites They have thus fixed the essential
condition to all firm and precise exercise of
of thought We do not owe to the Shemitic
our political existence our art our poetry
our philosophy nor our science What then
are weindebted to them We owe to them
our religion The whole world with the
exception of India China and Japan and
the nations yet altogether savage has
adopted Shemitic religions What has been
been the cause of this remarkable phenom-
enon The primitive worship of the Indo
European race was as beautiful and full of
- UittfU
of depth as tha imagination of the people
themselves
IT WAS A KELICIOX
of childhood full of simplicity and poetry
in which the idea of a single cause appeared
but fleetingly and with great indistinctness
and was bound to crumble away us thought
became more active Persia first effected
its reform which is connected with tha
name of Zoroaster Greece in the time of
Pisistratus was even dissatisfied with tha
religion and cast her look to the East In
the Roman cjioch the old pagan worship
had become insufficient It no longer ap-
pealed to the imagination and addressed
itsolf but feebly tothe moral sentiment It
was at this time that tho civilized world
found itself face to fica with tho Jewish
religion founded on the clear and simple
dogma of divine unity scattering naturalism
and Pantheism to the winds by this phraso
of marvelous precision In the bsgianing
God ereated tho heaven and the earth
possessing a book the repository of lafty
moral teachings and lofty religious jioetry
Judaism wis incontestibly superior and it
seemed possible that one day tha world
would worship as tho Jews and leave its
ancient mythology for monotheism
Tho extraordinary event that took
placa at that moment In tho
bosom cf Judaism itself decided tho victory
The birth of Jesus Christ founded the
eternal relicion of mankind The genial
center to which man for centuries to come
should traco back his Joy his hopes and his
consolation for v ell doinr was established
Tho most abundant source of virtuo which
the sympathetic contact of a sublime per-
ception has mada to well up in tha heart of
man was established opened The at-
tempt of Julian com Bictely failed Tha
empire at first resisted most energetically
It finished by adopting tha faith
ALL GREECE AND HOME
became Christians The Germanic nations
and the Sclavs followed later Persia and
India alono of tho Indo European race pre-
served much altered tha faith of their an
castors Christianity became the property
of the West Arabia toward the Seventh
century could not make up its mind to be-
come Christian She founded Islamism
Islamism brought over to monotheism
nearly all tho pagan nations not converted
to Christianity The victory of Christianity
was only secured when it becamo what it
had been in the lofty conception of its
founders a ci cation divested cf tho firm
trammels of the Shemitic spirit
Tho Jews and Mahommedans have
nothing but aversion for this religion
which in the hands of another race has
clothed itself with exquisite inietry the en-
chanting adornment of romantic legends
being gentle sensitive and imaginative
such as tho author of tho Imitation of
Christ such as the mystics of tho middle
ages such as the saints in general have
professed a religion full of sentiment and
tender melancholy every way opposed to
the Shemitic genius essentially dry and
hard In the course of events tho prog-
ress of Indo European nations will consist
in separating itself moro and more from tho
Shemitic mind The future belongs to
them and to them alone Our religion will
triumph It will become tho religion of
tho heart inmost poetry of each human
soull Wc shall attain to a moro certain
knowledge of tho destiny of man and his
connection with tho infinite We shall
understand more clearly tho origin of our
beimr the nature of perception and what
lifo is Wo shall leain how to live and

that duty his reward Ebegexa
