TJJE WEEKLY GAZETTE
The constantly growing circulation of
the Weekly Gazette Is evidence that the
effort to furnish a firstclass paper de-
voted to the interests of the people Is be
ins appreciated
The Weekly Gazette is a twelvepago
paper containing a summary of the news
of the world for each week and is tilled
with choice literature and miscellaneous
renamg matter which must prove In-
structive nnd entertaining to the young
as well as to the old
The Agricultural Department edited
by Professor Stelle reoently introduced
commends the Weekly Gazette to nil
Texas farmers and contains matter eaoh
issue more than worth the price of the
paper
As an advertising medium the Weekly
Gazette is incomparably superior to any
published in the Southwest and offers
unequalled facilities to all who wish to
reach the people of Toxas

Foet Worth Tex Aug 21 1W0
A convention of delegates from trade
nnd munufacturlng organizationsmunic
ipalities and people interested in devel-
oping the manufacturing and mercantile
interests of Texns has been called to
meet in Fort Worth on September 24
1890 for the purpose of devising ways
and means to induce capital to seek our
state and accomplish this object
The advantage to accrue to the people
ot Texas by having our raw material
found in eudless quantity in this state
manufactured into merchantable com-
modities must be patent to every mind
that has given the subject careful con-
sideration Manufacturers aro disposed
to come to our state capitalists are fa-
vorably disposed but there has been no
united action to place before them the
fncts about our resources and the vast
field open to them and wbolesalo mer-
chants This convention is called to
meet the demand made upon the state
It Is proposed to have Eastern and
Northern manufacturers and capitalists
presont at our deliberations Governor
Ro9s has expressed a willingness to co-
operate In the matter
To this end you nre cordially invited
and requested to send one or more dele-
gates from your organization munici-
pality or county to this convention
Efforts will be made to arrange with the
railway companies for reduced rates to
delegates and others who attend As
the time is short we respectfully urge
Immediate action and request that you
send to the secretary of tho Fort Worth
chamber of commerce tbo names of
those selected to represent you m the
convention

THE FORT WORTH CONVENTION
If your town is dull and your boarding houses
down in the mouth why dont you call a con-
vention to meet with you and give you a lilt i
Dallas News
Tho above is evidently a direct thrust at Fort
Worth from the factthat the chamber of com-
merce of that city has issued a call for a con-
vention of all Texans interested in manufactur
ing and mercantile enterprises in the state
This convention is going to prove a big benefit
to the state and all live energetic towns will be
represented Tyler Democrat and Reporter
Fort Worth is accustomed to such co-
operation from certain newspapers Tho
manufacturing or business mans con-
vention li intended to inaugurate a
movement beneficial to all tho state
The convention was compelled to meet
somewhere and as Fort Worth is a
leader in publio movements and as this
movement originated here It was natural
the convention was called to meet here
There Is no localism in the movement
and opposition to it from disgruntled
newspapers is unworthy of Texas
IT PAYS TO ADVERTISE IX THE
GAZETTE
The following letter is an unsolicited
testimonial to the value of The Gazette
as an advertising medium which is sub-
mitted as a hint to all who may wish to
reach the people Some men vainly im-
agine they must use Northern publica-
tions In order to reach buyors of Texas
properties but Mr Ropes testifies that
fourfifths ot the Inquiries addressed to
him came through the advertisement in
the Fort Worth Gazette The Gazette
is worth 50 per cent more as an adver
tising medium tban it was one year ago
No daily paper ever received such large
accessions to its list in so brief a timo as
have come to The Gazette within the
past ninety days

Gentlemen I am Just told a gratifying fact
concerning our advertisement in your paper
The correspondence states that out of our im-

tion the advertisement in your paper The
next upon the list is the Forum Magazine In
this view of the case I wonld be inclined to ac-
cept your proposition for a renewal of our ad
upon the same terms as before You Till please
therefore insert the ad but use the name of
the Port Ropes company instead of my own and
publish the list of officers as per the heading of
this page They need not be in large type
Beingan old newspaperman myself I know how
gratifying it is to a publisher to learn such facts

CONSTITUTIONAL REFORM
IN
KENTUCKY
Aconvention to form a new constitu-
tion for Kontucky met In that state Mon-
day If some even of the many re-
forms deemed wise and practicable be
engrafted in the new constitution Ken-
tucky will have outstripped all of her
sister states tn the matter of legislative
progress The following ns noted by a-
New York Times correspondent aro the
principal changes contemplated
Of important matters to come before the con-
vention that of reforming the Judiciary is para-
mount At present judges of all courts are
elected as the other officers It is proposed to
make these higher officers appointive the idea
being to take the judiciary out ot politics en
entirely
As at present conducted the courts are expen-
sive and plans will be proposed having a more
economical administration of the laws of justice
for their object Among these will be the abo-
lition of the fee system and the substitution of
stated salaries The present constitution
provides that all elections shall be viva
voce The substitution of tho Australian
secret ballot system will be suggested and will
probably be adopted Other changes of im-
portance to be suggested will be the removal of
corporate and local legislation from the legisla-
ture the limitation of the pardoning power of
the chief executive the ingrafting of a clause
prohibiting lotteries and all soecies of gambling
the question of the limitation of the sale of al
coholic liquor changes in the jury system and
the adoption of the majority rule in arriving at
verdicts educational or property qualifications
of voters on certain questions remuval of the
state capital from Frankfort to Louisville
lengthening of the period between the sessions
of the general assembly and the limitation of
their duration making the executive eligible to
succeed himself
The task before the convention is certainly
herculean but as stated above the delegates
are among the very best men in tho state and
that they will do their work thoroughly and well
no one doubts
THE ALMIGHTY TARIFF
The protariff communication of Mr
John OByrne of Gladewater Tex
published elsewhere in this Isjue of The
Gazette purporting to prove that nil
the prosperity which this country has
ever enjoyed was the result of the tariff
and all tbe bard times tbe fruit ot free
trade or reduced tariff is almost too
rlduoulous to call for a serious attempt
at refutation Tbe attempt to credit the
tariff with every good Is very much like
a similar case among the English in Sid-
ney Smiths time when it wns the
fashion among the Tories to attribute
whatever prosperity existed to tho
working of the borough system of choos-
ing members of parliament The witty
divine knew a frugal farmer that had
prospered and acquired a competency
though all his life he had been a eufferen
from pains in bis stomach Upon the
prevailing Tory theory Mr Smith rea-
soned that It would be the heighth of
folly for tho farmer to get rid ot hi s
stomachlq pains for has he not thrived
and prospered under them How do es
be know that banishing the pains will
not eventually drive him to bankruptoy
and ruin Of course the farmer would
say that he got ahead in spite of his
pains but to reason so was out of tune
with the prevailing Ioglo just as saying
that this country has bad sea-
sons of prosperity in gpite
of the burdens ot taxation
is met wittr tbe Republican cry that every
good is due to tbe tariff There was no
tariff reduction in 1873 nor free trade
was there How can the universal dis-
tress and bankruptcy of that and suc-
ceeding years be attributed to reduced
tariff Can the agricultural distress now
and for tbe past Ave years prevailing
J fc ifejffit gj u K f SJ yC ffi ffiffei
throughout the entire country be attrib-
uted to reduced taxes Is that the rea-
son why Western farmors burned corn
for fuel last winter and are now being
gold out under tbo sheriffs hammer In
Kansas at the rnto of nearly 0000 a Tear
If so why aro Senators Plumb Paddock
and Davis and others from the
West where distress Is gener-
al demanding Important reductions
in the tariff According to our Glade
water friend they nre publio enemies
as well as traitors to the g o p Even
Blaine cannot escape the stigma as he
openly denounced tbo McKinley bill as
an outrage
As to all that our friend says about the
condition of the country during the con-
federation and the cause or causes that
led to the adoption of a constitutional
government it is In a great measure
pure gammon He would have us be
lieve that the ohange from the confeder-
ation was made primarily for the pur-
pose of establishing n protective tariff
Utter nonsense The prenmble to
the constitution declares the pur-
poses for which the thirteen
original colonies framed tho
constitution and established a new form
of government It wns In order to
form a more perfect union establish
justice Insuro domestlo tranquility
provide for the common defensepromote
the general welfare and secure the
blessings of liberty to ourselves and our
posterity Is anything said there-
about a protective tariff Oh but tho
first congress did lay a tariff to promote
home manufactures we are told Yes
a tariff whose general average was about
10 per cent How would you like to re-
turn to that The prime objeot of that
first tariff bill was to meet
the expenses of the government
and pay the accumulated debts
of tbo colonies transferred to the newly
formed government As every tariff
measure affords more or less proteotlon
to domestio industries ns It must in the
nature of things so did that ono The
infant industries of that day that were
satisfied with a 10 per cent tariff and
glad to get it must now when grown to
mammoth proportions receive five times
the amount of protection or they will be
driven to the wall by European pauper
labor What outrageous humbuggery
CARPERS AND FAULTFINDERS
The anticommlsslonlsts are hard to
please They have a genius for finding
fault with almost everything done by the
convention or the executive committee
They dont like the latters method ot
shaping tbe ticket with reference to tbe
commission amendment the ticket be-
ing made to read For the commission
amendment The San Antoulo Ex-
press looks upon it as a dodge to catch
voters who wont take the trouble to
scratch and tbe Post thinks that it
would be but a simple act of courtesy
an evidence of liberality to so arrange
tbe ticket that all might without trouble
vote aocording to their convictions
Tbis is all stuff and nonsense with-
out rhyme or reason Tho execu-
tive committee might have made the
ticket read against the amendment
That would please the antis greatly no
doubt But why should the committee
do so Toe rest of the ticket reads for
governor for lieutenantgovernor
for treasurer and so on Did not
the convention indorse tbo amendment
just as it nominated the several candi-
dates Should not therefore that part of
the ticket read precisely as the part re-
lating to the nominees Why should the
committee make an exception to the
general rule adopted in tbe case of tbe
amendment
No notion was taken by the convention
respecting the road law and the ticket
reads for and against that
amendment In shaping tho ticket tbo
commltteo has been perfectly consistent
throughout It could not have dono
otherwise tban It did and treat all alike
If it is too much trouble for tbo antis to
scratch the ticket let them rote it
straight No ono is urging them to ruin
their health and disgrace themselves by
scratching their partys ticket

ABOUT THE SCHOOLS
Under What Conditions rnplls May be Trans-
ferred from Connty to City Schools
and Vice Versa
For a long time it has been a question
of large interest to parties living within
the corporate limits of Fort Worth In
closer proximity to a county than a city
school whether or not their children
might attend the connty school and with
parties living outside the corporate
limits of the city but nearer a city thau
b county school whether or not their
children might attend a city school and
upon what conditions suoh transfers
might be made The following corre-
spondence throws light upon the subject
Foet Woetii Tex Aug 29 1S90
Superintendent J 11 Carlisle Fort Worth
Tex
My Dear Sir Tho following propositions are
submitted for the consideration of yonr school
board Please give me the decision of the board
as early as suits your convenience
1 Several parties desire to transfer pupils
from tho country to the city schools Will your
board allow such transferred pupils to attend
the city schools
2 A few persons living in the city wish to
transfer the fund due their children to schools
where they aim to attend in the countv Will
the board permit this
3 Just south of the city limits In the Bacon
Hill school district are several negro children
ot scholastic age aDout fifteen I believe but
not enough to form a school Will your ooard
permit these children to attend your colored
school if their funds be transferred to tho city
school fund
By answering these questions you will greatly
oblige me Respectfully WII Pool
County Superintendent Tarrant County Tex
Foet Wortii Tex Sept 5 1S0O
Superintendent W U Pool Fort Vvorth Tex
Dear Sir Replying to your favor of August
291 have to say that the city school board at its
last meeting agreed to the following
I Thai pupils from outside the city will be
received on the following conditions
1 They are to pay tuition at the following
rates Primary grades one to four 150 per
month grammar school grades five to eight
S2 0 per month high school grades nine to
eleven 150 per monlh
2 They are to have credit for money trans-
ferred to the city
3 They are allowed to attend only when thero
is room not required by the children living in
the city and should they enter and their seats
beafteiward required by children living in the
city they would then be compelled to vacate
their places
II No action was taken in regard to the transfer
of school funds from the city to any other school
or schools because under the school law of
Texas children of scholastic age are entitled to
the benefits of the public schools ot any district
in which they acquire a bona fide residence if
they have not attended another school during
the year
III Tbe negro children of the Bacon Hill school
district will be received into the city colored
school on the conditions above enumerated for
the admission of pupils living outside the city
Hoping that this will be satisfactory I am
yours truly Jas M Carlisle
Superintendent City Schools Fort Worth

THE COAL TRADE
The Hard Coal Market Uendlnsr Prices Higher
With an Increased Tonnase
Special to the Gazette
New York Sept 10 One of the coal
trade papers says the hard coal market Is
apparently on tbo mend aud prices are
likely to be bighsr than those current In
the past ninety days Tbis condition has
been brought about solely by restricting
the output to something like accord with
the demand Circular prices do not rule
but tbe movement of coal is larger and
stocks in first bands are less At tbo
East and at Philadelphia business is get-
ting better At New York there has
been but little doing in tbe past week
yet there Is a firm tone to the market and
business Is done at an advance over old
figures Continued delivery of coal on
orders taken months ago has a dampen-
ing effect on any tendency to boom busi-
ness There will probably bo no ad-
vance in circular prices this month In
soft coal there is little ohange to note
Tonnage Is increasing and every state in
the Union will figure In tbe annual state-
ment for an Increased traffic

there is almost unlimited demand
market for all tbe mill can produce an >
more cau be found within sixty miles
Fort Worth nud uo competition fnai
outside can injure it This mill will p t

the same time will buy all the si r > k
piiper which is now burned as wortluej
The mill will employ from fifteen t
twenty men and can be run all tho year
round The capacity of tbo mill Is 1
to 20000 pound9 of paper every ia
The machine makes a continuous nbbuc
