To bring ibout the alwve tiesult and to en-

the enterpJBse has requireirat vast amount
of work af demonstrated by lte fact that
attheclosfof last week etiibracing less
than two months work over twenty thou-
sand pieci of mail had been scut out from
the executive ofllec m this city
To eaclij ommitteepian and lady manager
as they ie appointed handsome commis-
sions are forwarded which are beautiful
lithograplgd works of ait made wit the
design off being framed and preserved
They contai a handsome lithograph cut of
the state capitol buildim Hanked on the
right by a photolithograph of President
Harrison and on tho left by a similar
piituie of Governor Hogg As a work of
art alone the > are worth preserving
The certificates of stock aie even more
elaborate gems of the art preservative
which in after years may act as souvenirs
associating memory with one of the great-
est events that history will record
When it is known tha ie price of these
certificates of stock is lixed at SI each the
feasibility of the plan of operation im-
mediately presents itself and the measure
of success b omes simply limited by the
ability of reaching the lieople It is safe to
conclude tliat no citizen of Texas having
the interest of the state at heart would re-
fuse to subscribe SI to have Texas which
has more to show and more to gain at Chi-
cago than any other stato in the Union
pioperlj and creditably represented there
an jet could evcrj citizen of Texas be
reached the trilling sum of Vi cents per
capita would sullice to accomplish this re-
sult But with such munificence as dis
played by Governor Hogg in subscri jing as
an individual citizen of Texas to the first
lot shares of the capital stock the work of
a per capita canvass would be very ma-
terially curtailed should the governors
example be emulated by many other citi-
zens
WOItK AMONO THESCHOOLS
Mr Ed F Warren of this city who has
charge of the educational department is do-
ing some excellent work in arousing au in
teiost among the lJOOO teachers and 000000
school children of Texas the greatest army
ever enlisted in the cause of a state To
effeetuallj concentrate such a foive in any
work would seem a task bej oud the powers
of accomplishment by a single individual
but it has been skillfully undertaken and if
well directed eftorts and indomitable energy
will succeed the school children of Texas
w ill reap tho harvest of constructing the
Texas building at the Worlds fair But as
w th the adult citien tho same ditticulty
and tediousiicss of detail presents itself in
reaching the children of Texas The hand-
some prizes of freo university scholarship
offered by the assoei < tion as rewards for
the best individual eftorts in raisi < g suli
scriptions will no doubt enthuse not only
the interest of the ambitious child but the
parent as well Every parent who an will
encourage and assist his child in this
worthy competition and as to the orphans
Texas is full of noble men and women ready
to lend them a helping hand It is a irrand
enterprise one that will not only benefit
the Texas of today but will arouse a spirit
of patriotism that will double her power
and glory How happy each child will feel
to know that he is aided even in the
smallest way in constructing a magnificent
building that is to tell the world of tho
grandeur of his own state And what
Texans heart will not swell with pride as
he passes the v i entrance and leads the
following inscription suggested by Presi-
dent Hurley This building was erected
by the 000000 school hildren and their
1 000 teachers of the stato of Texas who
have behind them a school fund of f 100000
000 Texas great in heart as in territory
sends greeting Come and abide with us
In the accomplishment of this school w ork
Texas Teachers Worlds Fair Clubs arc
already being organized throughout the
state where the various summer normals
are being held with the doube object in
view of soliciting ubseriptions d prepar-
ing suitable exhibits of school work for tho
Columbian expos iou and in a general way
creating an iuteMst and enthusiasm not
only among teachers and pupils but among
theTiieople gcuerav
TKX W uiM > S FAIll TICS
Texas has already been allotted < he most
desirable site upon tho Worlds fair ground
at Chicago
Tho appropriation made for the Worlds
fair fund ami the resolution adopted by the
West Texas press association at its recent
convention at Baird shows that he press is
in sympathy with the movement
Governor Hogg has set the proper gait
Who will be tho next publicspirited citizen
to follow
Texas is a state that challenges compari-
son Let her throw down the gauntlet at
Chicago and make good her claims to
supremacy
The directors are contemplating tho ar-
rangement of a contest among the military
of the state having for its object the carry-
ing to Chicago and return in a special
sleepe > free of expense the military com-
pany in Texas that will raise the most
money for Worlds fair purposes The con-
test may oe carried out on tho voting plan
but details have not yet been arranged
The Texas buildings at Caic tg will bo
constructed after the style of the old Span-
ish missions thts preserving a distinctive
feature of architecture The architects of
the state will during the present weskbe
asked to submit plans for tha Texas build-
ings Prizes will be offered for accepted
plans in order to enthuse the competition
with the hope of securing better results
There is no more busy place in Fort
Worth at the present time than the Texas
Worlds fair office with a small army of
typewriters stenographers and clerks at-
tending to the enormous mail in am out
feeling the pulse of the people upon tho
subject of the Worlds fair and the diag-
nosis of President Hurley is thatthe symp-
toms are most favorable

Special to the Gazette
At stix Trx July July 20 The feeling
is puite strong here that the Democrats of
Texas or the leaders of the partyare making
a great mistake in 1 > ing on their oars and do-
ing nothing when they ought to be combat
ting the foolUli and mischievous subtreas
ury humbug There is entirely too much
apathy on this subject The apostles of
Macune Polk Co are hard at work
They are not going about with brass bauds
either but aro making a stillhunt The
mysteries of the order enable them to
gather large assemblies of farmers to their
crossroad meetings where they are
being nightly and daily harangued
b > the Hippanttongued gobmouehes
who have learned their lessons
FIIOM A COMMON eOt UCE
The literary bureau of the subtreasury
faction has furnished the orators and har-
anguers with certain alleged facts and
figures which they have all got by heart
Hear one and you will hear them all The
siieeches are all stereotyped but of course
the farmers dont know that or if they i i
they look on their sameness as tho best evi-
dence of their accuracy and truthfulness
These f cts sound as well in the mouth
of an impostor as of an honest ma and it
is as hard to make Granger converts to Ma
cunism believe that Macune or any other
shining light of third partyt sm is an
arrant humbug as it is to make the Waco
Day believe that Hogg is a model governor
When those Ephraims become wedded to
their idols it is wellnigh useless to attempt
dissuasion That tho subtreasury ranks
have been augmented considerably sin e
the Waco meetiug when Macune was given
such an ovation can hardly be doubted
And it is all due o the pernicious ac ivit
of the
OIUTOMCAI w UKING IIFlEGlTEs
of the order and the cqtiall > pernicious
inactivity of the Democrats who seem to
be placing their main reliance on Prov
dence or good fortune Judge Lit Moore
of LaGrange was here a night or vo ago
and discussing tho subtreasury said that
it was far more formidable than people
imagined who had not mixed with the
farmers He was hitting it whenever lie
had an opportunity and wondered why
others wero not doing the same Only one
man Senator Chilton is doing effective
work in combatting the pre > osterous
heresy He stated jesterday while in this
ey that he made it the leading topic of his
siump speeches and did so simply bei tuso
ho recognized the lioul which it was gain-
ing among the fanntrs Ho stated also
that they accept it not becauso they under-
stand it or fully believe in it but because
it affords a change trom present conditions
which the > imagine cannot > e made any
worse and may be improved li > it It is
therefore received and swallowed as a des-
perate remedy Senator Peffer of Kansas
was brought down here by the Macuneites
to assist in the work f evangelizing and is
going about like the rest of them in a quiet
way but talking as he goes It was given
out that he would speak here last Thursday
night but he tailed tomiterialize and some
few dozen citizens that gatuercd at the
courthouse to hear the great man were dis-
appointed

SIMPLY MISINFORMED
WERE THE MEN WHO FORMED
THE ALIEN LAND LAW
The > tlon That the foreign Money Lend-
ers Want to Oct Possession ot Our
Iaml All Wrong
Special to the Gazette
ArsTix Tcx uly 2ti Dissatisfaction
with the foolish alien land law continues
unabated among all classes of business and
professional men here the most practical and
conservative no less than others All con-
demn it alike and feel tha it must be p
rid of somehow or amended so as to take
the devilment out of it Tliat the law is
unconstitutional is hardly a matter of
doubt The writer has the first lawyer to
meet who th iks the law has one chant in
a thousand of passing favorable judicial
scrutiny They all appear to agree that the
title and the enacting clause of the law are
both fatally defective 15ut that does not
hep the situation The law remains on the
books a menace to foreign capital which is
here or wants to come here not to light its
way through legal barriers and impedi-
ments but toa arn a reasonable interest on
an unfailing security
The notior entertained by many that the
object of the Scotch id English who loan
money on land over here is to get ultimate
possession of the land is based entirelj on
misinformation or
WAST Or KNOWLEDGE
and therefore foolish The misinformtion
is doubtless largely due to the pernicious
teaching and lecturing of the subtreasury
classleaders and orators in their Alliauce
meetings where the most prejiosterous rot
is ladled out to the redulous ind simple-
minded If the farmers knew how this
British money gets here they would not be
so ready to swallow the miserable li s told
thein about it The truth of it is generally
speaking that the money is raised in Grrt
Britaiu by syndicates
ORGANIZED 7rOB THE PCHPO E-
on debentures guaranteeing certain rate
of interest say 3 or 4 per cent The
money so raised is brought over here and
loaned out fo a term of years at double the
rate of intercut and mortgages on land are
taken as the only reliable and acceptable
security T he money is loaned purely and
simply for the interest earned and not
with any sort of intention to get possession
of anybody s land NTo land is wanted for
the foreign syndicate has itself borrowed
the money an must make regular returns
of interest payments to its creditors and
when called upon at maturity of its obliga-
tions must refund the principiL To be
compelled to foreclose many mortgages
and take the land would be
a sitive misfortune and hardship for the
syndicate or lender of foreign money for it
is to that extent disabled from meeting its
obligations to home creditors Besides it is
making too good a thing on the money
loaned It borrows money at 4 per cent and
loans it to the Texas farmer at S or 9 per-
cent That is an investment that returns a
profit of 100 per cent tothe loan syndicate
How much better is tliat than sinking the
money in land when it must lie idle for
years As was said above the last thing
these
BEtTISII LENDERS Or MONET
want is land It is a burden and a source
of loss anil therefore most undesirable

Sptolai to tho Haietic
El Kito X M Juj 27 Stretching
away to the noi u and east of this town is
what is known as the great lava bed An
area eightylive i lies long and forty miles
wide is a vast desert without u sign of veg
etatiou or water except in one spot Ani-
mal life is absent and not even the hum of
au insect is ever heard in this vast solitude
This condition obtains over the entire waste
with the exception of one pot nea the cen-
ter of the desert Here is a small oasis
and in it is a never failin spring This
oasis is directly on thu liiad across the des
eit and seveial years ago an enterprising
American named allaeo De in took up the
entire oasis as a homesead eto m He
diverted the road by femes and u t a
house fo > the accoumodation of travelers
Here he arranged a arge tank and troughs
and sold water to the wayfarers at the rate
of i cents a bucket He reaped a rich har-
vest but the life was a lonely one and
sometimes for days ho would not see a soul
Dean tried to ge1 a white woman to marry
him but the place was not tempting and
he could get no oue to consent t live in a
desert lie came to this place and for a
small sum bought the daughter of Carlos
Pinto a worthless Mexican and tooiriier
hack to lighten up the desertThe girlwa s-
only fifteen years old and had shown a
great desire to flirt She was well devel-
oped auu had a dark beauty w hich was very
attractive Kosa soon longed for otln r
society and when travelers would pass
along she would train her battery of eyes
up them and lo resu was that Dean
soon had his hands full watching his pur-
chase Ho was driven to the vt ge ot in-
sanity by her actions and many were the
storms which passed o or the domestic
paradise Itosita as she was generally
called was proving a cuise instead of a
bless g
Sometimes several days would pass with-
out a passer to mar their life then Rosa
would lavish her cuiarments upon Dean
and ho would think himself in the seventh
heaven of delight Then a travelei would
come along and It sa would tra sfer her at-
tentions to the newe t u in This went on
until about two months ago when Deans
rage overstepped all bounds and he took
down a heavy whip and cruelly lashed the
girl across the face an > shoulders With
the sti < ke all the nature of the girl was
changed and she sprang at him with the
fury of a wildcat A battle royal was
fought but no damage was done except to
the leelings For several days Uosa sulked
while sho went about the place and not a
word was spoken then she appeared to get
over her anger and became een morr lov-
ing than hefore Dean tiattered hir self
that he had found a way to check the wild
inclinations of the girl He was so pleased
with the resul i d chastisement that he
told several freighters the whole story n
the presence of Kosp who sat with 0 nvn
cast eyes during the recital
Last week a party stopped at Deans
ranch for water but the place was deserteu
T o tanks wero dr and the house was
closed The door was not locked and the
party entered the main room Nothing
wrong was seen there but in the back-
room a most horrible sight was presented
to t eir gaze Lying on t floor with its
hand grasping the whip la the dead body
of Dean He had been stabbed toti heart
and then as if with an uucontroiaole fury
is slayer had literally hacked the body to
pieces The head was completely sevet 1
and the body and arms were stripped of
flesh From general appearances it was
surmised that Dean had again attempted to
whip ic girl and the enraged slave had
thrown herself ui > on the man and with one
stroke had driven the dagger to his hear
Xo trace of the git 1has been found either
at the ranche or at her fathers house in
th > place

Xrn You July 25 Wnll street con-
tinues wholly devoid of interest in both the
investment and speculative branches of
busness On the stock exchange opera-
tions are confined to room traders who aie
satisfied with fractional chancres and follow
the transient variations of tone rather than
seek to < rive the market a bias one way or
the otuer The truth is there is no imme-
diate matt rial for the formation of a violent
upward or a downward movement Neither
bulls nor bears have contracts out
staudina important enough to invite attack
from the opi > os Te side nor is there an thing
in outside influences of enough immediate
interest to invito large opexations Under
these circumstances everybody easilj yields
to the temptations of the seasons recrea-
tions and the street is virtually partially
deserted
This condition of things is natural ough
as a seq nee of the w Idwide financial
derangements of last fall Cautic every-
where the contraction of credit in every di-
rection critical examination into the condi-
tion of the institutions through which
linauce operates discouragement towards
sjioculative operations and undertakings
and a protracted process of liquidation
these ar among the influences to which
liuancinl interests have been subjected alike
in Eurv > e and the United States for the last
nine cr ten months The condition hr been
that of collapse after convulsion and the
question is whether the collapse stage has
run its course so that wo may expect an
early return of general vior and activity
It is the difficulty of answering this ques-
tion satisfactorily that now holds Wall
street in suspense And thatdifficulty can-
not be fairly laid to anything in our domes-
tic situation for we have nowhere any
really unsatisfactory conditions in our in-
dustries our commerce or our finance
whilst we have the promise of the potent
stimulus that comes from extraordinary
crops and the clearing house returns show
tha the current volume of the nations busi-
ness more than equals that of ayear ago
The one thiu f that prevents the revival of
financial operations at this cener appears
to be the uncertainty that stil overhangs
European finance What may be the outcome
of the unsettled condition and the new devel-
opments of European iiolitics Have all the
weak sj jts developed out of the South Amer-
ican disastcs been taken care of What
may be the commercial and political effects
abroad of unusually short crops involving
in some places almost threatened famine
Will the necessity of buying extraordinary
supplies of breadstuffs from thi and other
countries involve an exhaustive drain of
cold from the great national banks of
Europe And if so what would be the
effect upon European finances at large
Would that effect involve embarrassment
in the foreign trade relations with which
we stand committed and would it lead to a
return of American securities of a class
which we have been accustomed to regard
as safe against disturbance under almost
any circumstances These are the kind of
questions that the men of Wall street are
weighing in the formation of their estimates
of the courseof affairs for the next few
months And it cannot be said that the
problems aro chimerical northat it is need-
less to consider them
But on the other hand we have on this
tide a situation distinctly our own and
FORT WORTH TEX
which is full of extraordinary promis
Our agricultural croj upon which nearly
onehalf of our population are directly de-
pendent affords upon the whole a promise
of unparalleled results Tie cotton crop
seems likely to follow close uu i he great
volume of that of last year The corn crop
so fariudicates a result beyond the averig
And the output of whe it is Mkely to sur-
pass all precedent What quantity of wheat
we shall export I leae to others to predict
what uantity we could ex > ort I leave to
be inferred from the fact that during the
year ending Time 1 lstl we exported 100
000000 bushels of wheat and flour with a
crop of JOOOOOfKX bushels hich was H0
000000 busheis le > s than tho nrobible crop
of the present year from which t hay ht >
inferred that our actual capacity for exi ort
out of this years crop till bo i insideralilv
over 200000000 bushels our highest pre-
vious export having b n lsGOOOOOO bushels
in ISM The average value of our annual
exports of wheat and flour for the ast
seven years has been 103000000 the
average evport price reducing tho flour to
wheat having been rjf cents per bushel
Should the exports out oi this crop reach
200000000 bushels and the ex > ort price
average SI the value ol our shipments ii
lSH y would exceed by iO2000000 the
average yearly shipments of the ia t seven
years On this basis of valuation the pres-
ent crop estimated at > 100U0u0o bushels
would give to the farmers millers carriers
and handlers a total result of 3540100000
against r2S00lNX as the value of last
years crop of 400000000 bushels valued
at an average export price of V i cents per
bushel Results like these upo our three
great crops mean an invaluable ooon to our
great agricultural industry and to all other
industries dependent upon it tho effects of
which coiinot fail to be soon felt in the
marked revival of both our internal and c
ternal commerce
These prospects enable us toitK i > on
the foreign situation above referred to witn
much more equanimity than w e otherwise
might At the same time in estimating the
foreign situation it is proper to take into
account that while the feeling aoiw
anything but hopeful yet there api > cars to
be no apprehension abroad of relapse into
a worse condition than now exists and it
begins to be appreciated that prosjierity in
the United States will not be without its
compensations and reliefs to European
commerce Still for the present I con-
tinue to advise conservatism in all busi-
ness movements so as to avoid plunging
heavily into debt Hexkv Clews
