B B Paddock is still working to
build up Fort Worth It is a way he
has and has had for all these years
Having predicted that Fort Worth
would be the first Texas city to reach
100000 population he is working to
the fulfillment of his prediction
The Texa3 exhibit at the Worlds
fair will not be a discredit to the state
thanks to her people and not to the
legislature
A war of races up in Washington
discredits tho Republican philanthropy

Blaine is subsisting on a diet of
baked apples and cream That is pretty

out Harrison he must eat something of

The Arizona and Now Mexico set-
tlers with Navajo Indians on one side

other know what it means to be be
lwjtwecn the devil and deep sea
Mississippi Democrats follow those
of Ohio and Iowa in calling for free
and unlimited coinage of silver Upon
no question not even the tariff are the
Democrats of the country so evenly of
one mind as on tho silver question
The big corn crop in Texas this
year will bring the farmers much
larger returns if put into hogs and the
hogs put into tho Fort Worth packery
After tho Jt > t of January 1892 it
ought never to be necessary to go to
Kansas and the Indian Territory for
hogs to keep tho packery going
Suppose there should bo a revolu-
tion in Louisiana and an appeal to
arms to overthrow the lottery as ad-
vised by the Rev Mr Palmer would
that gentleman shoulder a musket and
march to the conflict Or would he
stay safe at home and preach tho fu-
nerals of the men v ho met death in
following his advice
Kansas has built no railroads for
the lirst half of this year Texas built
only a few miles Both are commission
states Tho commission did it Georgia
built more miles of railroad than any
other state and Missouri built more
than she did iu the same time last year
Theso two aro commission states Did
the commission do it
Why cannot tho Old Guard of Fort
Worth join Capt Paddock ignore the
croakers and pull tho town out of the
panic and out of the suds and push it
along to 300000 population in five
years It can bo done if the Old Guard
will rally and kick out of the ranks
those who pose as leaders and lead not
and those who are in Fort Worth but
are not of and for Fort Worth
President Carnot of the French
republic has been shot at two or three
times in as many years and has never
been scratched by an assassins bullet
But two American presidents have
been shot at in a hundred years and
death followed in each case Our as-
sassins must be a great deal better
marksmen than French assassins or
the divinity that doth hedge a king
must surround the French president
Livestock dealers and raisers will

DOING AWAY WITH THE MIDDLE
31 AN
The Kansas Alliance has taken hold
of a work that is not in any sense
chimerical and which will bo of more
genuine good to its members than all
the subtreasury and landloan schemes
that have been thought of
A committee has been appointed to
take charge of the placing of loans for
the members of the Alliance This
committee will deal directly with the
Eastern or foreign lenders and the
commission to the loan agent will be
saved The extent of this saving will
surprise the borrowers and make them
wonder why it was not thought of be-
fore Eastern and foreign money is
generally furnished to the loan agents
at C or 7 per cent Their profit on a
tenthousanddollar loan running for
five years is about S1500 On tho total
loans made in Kansas the difference be
tweon the rate of interest that the
lender gets and the rate that the agent
gets is several hundred thousand dol-
lars a year
Can the Kansas Alliance get this
money direct from the capitalists
That is will tue capitalists discon-
tinue doing business with their agencies
and deal with the Alliance committee
That is tho important question If
they can be made to believe that the
loans are as safe and that their busi
rVM can be taken care of as well by the
bars
jn f S jJp
Alliance loan committee as by the
regular loan agencies some kind of an
arrangement may be made to carry out
this plan and the farmers bo saved a
heavy item of cost in tho commission
paid to tho loan agencies
CARLISLE NOT A CANDIDATE
Henry Watterson would like to see
John G Carlisle of Kentucky president
of the United States So would The
Gazette and so would millions of
good American citizens who appre
ciate brains and honesty But alas for
the pity of it that millennial period
has not arrived in the history of our
country when brains honesty and the
highest order of abilities are the best
qualifications of a presidential candi-
date In fact they are as nothing in
comparison with that miserable thing
called availability And rarely if
ever is it found that availability and
prime fitness go together Mr Car-
lisle would make an ideal president as
he did an ideal representative and
speaker and as he is now making an
ideal senator But he has recently
given out through a Kentucky friend
that he will not be a candidate for tho
nomination realizing by anticipation
no doubt the futility of it If he could
be nominated however we see no rea-
son in view of his stainless and blame-
less record why he could not make as
strong a race as any man in the party
TWO EVILS WORKING TOGETHER
Two or three of the Texas subAlli
ances have passed resolutions approv-
ing tho alien land law as it stands
Coupled with this thero is generally a
resolution indorsing the subtreasury
scheme
There is propriety in tho coupling
together of these two evils the alien
land law and the subtreasury fraud
As tho law now stands foreign capital
cannot operate in Texas This will
compel tho withdrawal of something
like 40000000 that is now loaned to
our people and with which they aro
doing business So much money can-
not be withdrawn from tho state in two
or three years without causing great
distress and widespread bankruptcy
Such a calamity is clearly foreseen
by tho men who aro engineering the
subtreasury business They are work-
ing to bring about such a condition of
affairs so that the harassed and desper-
ate debtor seeing ruin ahead and
knowing that nothing can make his
situation worse will turn to tho sub
treasury and land loan folly as a possi-
ble hope of relief
As long as money can be had from
other sources men who respect the
constitution are not going to violate it
by asking tho government to loan
money to them and invito the long
train of evils that must follow But
when foreign money has been driven
from the state and creditors are calling
for tho payment of their loans and no
money can be had to meet the demand
men will sink all reverence for tho
constitution iu a mad effort to save
themselves No plan can be too
chimerical as not to get supporters if
only it hold out the hope of saving them
from bankruptcy and their families
from want
Now watch the Alliance leaders and
the subtreasury pushers and see how
busy they aro in the work o having tho
subAlliances approve the alien land
law
NO FREE PASSES
The Waco Alliance Men raid Their Own

Blossom Tex July 161881
Editor Gazette
In your issue of July 14 I see au article
headed A Crying Shame in which tho
writer makes a labored effort to arouse the
prejudices of the people against the Al
liance
Tho writer uses this languago It is
noticed also that they find a good deal to
congratulate each other about in comparing
tho Fort Worth meeting with that held
some time ago at Waco Doubtless they aro
right In that too Tho Waco meeting was
moro numerously attended That is a fact
and why Because the saints who projected
that meeting enjoyed the confidence and
good will of tho roads to such an extent as
to procure the granting of free passes to all
who attended In the interest of the sub
treasury Those of contrary opinion had to
pay The writer cannot make an affidavit about
free passes but has good reasons to believe
they were granted
If the writer had takon tho time to in-
quire that it took to write the article ho
would have learned his orror If he was
in attendance on the Waco meeting his ef-
fort to mislead is malicious Because It
was publicly announced that delegates in
attendance on the meeting by presenting
credentials v > tho railroad agent signed by
President Evan Jones and the secretary
would be returned on one fare naming the
railroads that had agreed to said arranga
nient
I will say further that I know hundreds
that paid their fare and I am satisfied that
not a single delegate had a free pass

torially Texas is hardly a state to which

Alliance of that commonwealth at its re-

more senso than any deliverance which has

ments to begin work at tho factory The
buildings are completed and brand new ma-
chinery is in piace and it will take but a
few days to get in running order after the
material gets here Mr Schwartz will be

demonstrated that Fort Worth can manu-
facture wagons as well as any place in the

wagon factory here will soon be among tho
successful manufacturing enterprises of
Fort Worth The workmen to be employed
will all be skilled mechanics and will be de-
sirable additions to our population

pressure this being tho dull season but
after that the work will bo pushed for all
thero is in it When both sets of roller
