INDICTMENTS According io report the prand jury has found indlctmeas against several aldermen of the civ the very names of some of whom are su ranes a that the indictments will erve only as a foil to other indictments and probably result in all of thera being quashed The counts in these indictments cannot be known but it is not violent supposition to believe that in a majority of the case the indictments ere founded on technical violation of law in sales to the city goods or material The popular mira will readily appreciate the wide difference between that city official who is a member of a Arm that sells goods to the city without connivance of the official and that other city official who is a party to a contract with the citj It will require evidence stronger than a grand jury indictment to convince The Gazette in any case where goods and material were sold to the city by a firm of which any one of the aldermen is a member that such alderman used his office to secure the citys patronage Such violation of law is technical and not deliberate as would be a contract with the city by an official of the city It is to be hoped that these indetments will all be subjected to open trial and not all be quashed as some men may have planned Let the technical and the deliberate violations be separated let those who violated law unintentionally beset apart from those who regarded not the laws inhibition This shameful result has its underlying cause in the effort to give this city a political rather than a business management of its affairs From this arose the wrangling the putting of incompetent men In the waterworks service and the resentments that now find utterance in magnifying technical offenses into Indictments The hurt to Fort Worth is not in the indictments and the good to Fort Worth will be in the awakening of the people to the necessity of electing a city government wh5 ch will not essay apolitical control of the citys affairs and thus compel conservative aldermen to enter into wrangles to save the city from euchring control and hereafter the law will be respected even by those who may be too ready to treat it as a dead letter when opposed to their Interests THE WANT MONET Reports of officers filed with the department ask for appropriations to fortify our coast towns and furnish long range guns for the defense of our harbors The dynamite gun that latest child of destruc tlon is conceded to be a powerful engine of destruction but lone range guns are necessary to keep the war ships of the enemy at bay Every chief cf a department seems to think that his particular views should be adopted by Congress and while we are laughiDg at the insanity of European nations for keeping their ablebodied men underarms if we listen to those in authority America will scon be in the same condition The army should be increased the navy should be increased fortifications should be built and a better pattern of guns should be manufactured We ought in fine to desert the avocations of peace and enter the lists as warriors and buccaneers When it is remembered that onr national strength is imbedded in that martial passiveness which springs from material wealth the recommendations of these gentlemen will seem out of place We do not live by the sword We are capable cf sustaining ourselves independent of and in spite of all foreign nations We are no beasts of prey neither are we cowering in fear of foreign apgression The day of war ships may beat hand but the day when a foreign nation will make war with a country possessed of the resources of the United States is long since passed We have nothing to fear and all to gain and we must gain it not at the cannons mouth but in he productive pursuits of peace It is easy for one high in authority to figure on expenditures which cost many millions but the producing masses who have to foot the bill are not in sympathy with any such unnecessary exravagnce When it is necessary for the United States to go to war we will be prepared Forewarned is forearmed may do well enough for countries that depend upon bluff and display but the sonsof America are always armed Secretary Bayard is a Democrat and a member of a Democratic Cabinet but his project to create the office of Consulate inspector at a cost of 60000 per annum will meet with but little favor We cannot go as far as the Louisville Courier Journal in wishing to destroy and ob literate all consulates but must draw the line at Inspectors cf Consulates If our foreign representatives require watching if we must set spies and detectives upon those honored with portfolios by this government by a parity of reasoning we should have inspectors of inspectors and so on ad infinitum The true theory of our government with due respect to the very able Secretary of Slate is to get along with as few placemen and officeholders as is possible Argue as we may officeholding creates an aristocracy which is repulsive to the genius of our Institutions This is signally true when these officials are appointed by the executive independent of the voices and votes of the people We have enough officeholders and enough sinecures at present without creating any more The interests of the country do not demand it and a Democratic administration should not countenance the suggestion even from one high in its counsels One of the latest attempts to harness the forces of Nature for the service of man is the adaptation of a windmill for the turning of a dynamo the electricity thus obtained being stored in suitable batteries and afterward used in lighting beacons for the benefiS of the maritime interests There is a station of this kind near the mouth ofthe Seine and consid able succesB hasbeen obtained Ofe A MUNICIPAL JUNTO The following report of Alderman Hills speech last Tuesday is taken from the Evening Mail Alderman Hill then rose in hlB own defense and said that so far as the charge by Implication agaln3t him waB concerned ho defied any man to prove that he had ever got one cent from the city he did not honestly earn He said when he 12ft for the north It was iutlma ted hero that he had skipped to Canada but that he had not ho had Btcod on the lake shore and looked at Canada on the other side but he was back now Sincel have come back I hear that there was talk ot putt ng me behind tbe bsis Put me behind the bare but if I go I will pull somcDody else with me Here the Alderman niadb use of language unfit for publication When I was first elected alderman and was chump enough to do what Mayor lirollea wanted mo to do when I was green enough to pull with him in his effort to get a salary of 300 a year when any man of common sense ought to have krown that it was against tbe law I was all right but now when I do not work in with him I am hounded about until I am sick and tired of it The records as published of the doings of the present city government have in dicated the existence of a close corporation a wheel within a wheel to farm out the favors and profits of the public service The original constitution of the various committees was regarded as rather prompt evidence of the resolve to have a new deal if not of the actual formation of a ring coraposedof certain members constituting a majority of the city government And this spaech of Alderman Hill must be regarded as confirmation strone as proof of holy writ of the existence of such municipal ring From Mr Hills vehement evidence it would appear that one reform to be attained by the political upheaval from which Fort Worth suffered so much was the increase of the Mayors salary to 3000 Whatever may be the criticism of Alderman Hills judgment and discretion his boldness should meet the commendation of every taxpayer in Fort Worth Nothing could be more frank than Mr Hills admission that he had worked with Mayor Broiles to secure the latter a 33000 salary knowing it to be against the law Aud it must grieve the Mayor in his present patriotic attitude Io hear a grave and reverend City Father denouncing himself as a chump for having aided and abetted his honor in an unlawful attempt to bleed the taxpayers to the tune of 2900 annually But Alderman Hills bold frankness does not pause at selfdenunciation for being a chump He goes further and says if he is put behind the bard he will carry someone else with him Whether this significant tnreat was made in the heat of debate or for cogen reason it will be popularly construed as an admission or as an accusation or as both and confirms all that has been suspected of the existence of a municipal ring which was shattered in the retention of Mr Thomas who had a dead sinch on someone To that dead sinch be all praise Now let the grand jury do its whole duty not only in behalf of justice and of the public but in behalf of the members of the city government themselves If none of them are guilty of the laws violation the fact should be so demonstrated that no one of them should rest under unjust suspicions because of Alderman Hills remarkable speech TEXAS IN TYPE GUpplnga from State Exchanges ou Matters of Interest Savoy

of the Gazette Washington Nov 1 In a recent article In Science Mr Robert Hill a Texas boy and one of the rising young geologists in the United States Geological Survey gives the following interesting description of the pronounciation of American geographical names Most of our American names in the west and especially the southwest are simply abominable They are either corruptions of the French Indian or Spanish or Indefinite appellatives oftencf lewd and repulsive meaning This is especially true of the names given by my fellow southerners as they followed the law 0 migrations along degrees of latitude In Central and Western Texas there is another corruption which is more rnie leadicg than that of mispronunciation or misspelling The generic topographic terms are all erroneously used eubgenerio such as river for creek or what can only be properly expressed by the Spanish arroyo and mountain peak etc for knolls buttes or mesas For instance While there is not 58SBB 2 WEEKLY GAZETTE FOET WOBTH TEXASPE1DAY NuYEMBER 11 Pecos river there are no less than a dozen Hound Mountains Pilot Peaks Comanche Peaks Hog and Packuaddle Mountains etc in Central Texas none of which in anyway are entitled to the dignity of the terms and which can only be described as buttes and mesas of secondary proportions The creeks and rivers are either Hog creeks Muddy Snake Buffalo Dry Indian or Post Oaks Not only have these corruptions been going on In the past but they are being perpetrated at present and our government publications are innocently the chief instruments in so doing A remarkable instance came under my observation two years ago While sitting upon the stone that marks the northwest corner of the state of Kansas examining some geological specimens and conversing with Texan cowboy friends who had wintered near there a year or two I inquired the nearest postoffice One of tnem informed me that a tent village had just been established a few miles distant and that its name was Bueno This word from my past experience on the Texan frontier I knew to constitute ninetenths of the cowboys knowledge of pigeon Spanish the other tenth beins cuss words ana that it had been imported from the Rio Grande by him into Kansas and that the shorthorns the cowboys term of inferiority lor the Kansas settlei had been fascinated by it and applied it to their new town The ALTAR ASB

Esq and other stockholders who went out yesterday to inspect the third test inthe well in which lubricating oil was found on the 22d ult returned last night highly eiated with the prospect which now

Theory Philadelphia Times Southern industrial progress is no longer a theory it is an accomplished xct The development of wealth in the southern states has not only startled the north but has made every civilized nation or the world take pause to note the boundless sources of riches developed by theenergy of the new south Before the war the south imitated the sluggish advancement of the Old World It had cotton and cotton was kingand its countless millions of coal iron lumber and uncultivated fertile lands were left to slumber because unneeded but new necessities called into action all the energy skill forr the i and courage required to develop the south Gnd we must now confess in the north that the south rather than Europe is soon to be our most dangerous competitor in the production of the minerals and fabrics which have given the north true mountain in Texas east of the 1 its vast preponderance of wealth THAT BAD BUS Bonis of the Influences that Make Sinners of us Instead of Satnte Moral characteristics are too often the outgrowth of physical causes If so should a man with a diseased body be trusted with armies banks railroads or other great enterprises In order to strengthen the mind we must strengthen the body But in aiding physical forces certain muscles are frequently strengthened because of their use at the sacrifice of the parts of the body unemployed The oarsman develops the muscles that are brought into use in rowing and by continually developing them he i3 prepared for the great event The poet and the artist study nature to improve the mind and the eye To enable one to employ all his forces to the best advantage the body must be in a healthy condition so that all parts may fully perform their functions and thus elevate the mind by strengthening the body The irritable man the unjust man the unsuccessful man the woman in her duties of life the counting room defaulters and the thousands continually making failures receive too little charity even when the result is prostration by disease or sudden death by suicide or some terrible crime For not until life in ended and the result of the postmortem examination is known can the physician declare thit the cause was organic derangement of the system They pronounce it blood poisoning melancholy loss of vigor or nervous prostration These socalltd diseases nine times out of ten arise from the kidneys which are diseased so that they cannot expel the waste matter from the blood There are hundreds of thousands of people who do not know that the same quantity of blood that passed through the heart this much favored and admired organl passes also through the kidneys If the latter organs areja ealthy injurious matter is not retailed but the pureblood that has core filtered by the little hairlike tubes wtflch fill the kidneys goes to the heartO be diffused through the entire body roducing health and again taking upvdea dly waste matter as It goes Bui if the ifdneys iare diseased the uric acid attaoSs the Weakest organ in the body hich miisi eventually give way It is uen that ttie physician and the patient reat what are eally the effects not je causes TheTstrong point that the proprietors of Warners safe cure makSis that their great remedy cures so many general diseases because it corrects the causes leaving the effects to right tnemselves Now nearly every one who bjeeflmes prostrated is if fortunate enough able to secure the attentions of a phjgibian who seeks to make an analysis of Hhe fluids passed We have no dpubfi that the founders of tbis great have awakened the cure from their lethargy on thfr4 ortanc3of urinalysis We are today in receipt or aviIi tUe book Warners safe cure pamphlet jn which we find very valuable information in regard to diseases the causes of their existence and their cures It is very Ingeniously put before the reader in conversational style the reader asking questions and the publi3hers intheir answers making very plain some points but seldom understood This matter will be received with much more interest than the mass of stuff which is floating about the country proclaiming the various merits of nretended nostrums THE CONFEDERATE FLAG The Ifleg That Hanats tho Dreams of the Eternal Hateltes Chicago Inter Ocean In the flag museum at Washington in the War Department building may be seen the first flag raised over Charleston in 1861 literally the first banner of secession It Is a perfect caricature of a flag It is made of bunting once white no doubt but now dingy with time and dust and upon it is sewed a poor representation of a palmetto tree this has eight branches and no leaves and looks more like a huge spider than anything else On it are also sewed eleven red star3 and a red moon just rising Tnis flag was used at Forts Sumter and Moul trie at the outbreak of the war Just as the palmetto flag was used by the State of South Carolina when it seceded the pelican flag was used by Louisiana and figs of other designs were used by other states But the first Confederate flag legally established was adopted at Montgomery March 4 1861 It had a red field with a white stripe through the center onethird the width of the flag and the union was blue extending down through the white space to the second red space and in the center of it was a circle of seven white stars indicating the number of states in the Confederacy This was the famous Stars and Bars But it was too much like the UnitedStates 11 so that on the battlefield of Bull Run the one was frequently mistaken for the other At the suggestion of General Beauregard therefore the Southern Cross or battlefiag was adopted for field service and used to the end of the war This dad a red field with blue bars diagonally across it in the form of a Greek cross with seven stars in white or gold The bars were separated from the red ground by a white fillet inserted This for infantry service was made four feet square for cavalry three feet and for artillery two and a half feet square It was never used for sea service as it had no union and could not be reversed as a signal of distress The stars and bars was therefore used by the navy Another flag was adopted by the Confederate Congress May 1 1863 The length of this flag was twice its width and it had a white field with the battleflag as its union Tbe first vessel to use this fhg was the Atlanta the Confederate ram which left the port of Savannah in May with the hope of winning laurels for the new standard She was met however by the monitor Weehawken June 17 and after an engagement oi fifteen minutes she was so battered that her officers hauled down her flag tore off a square oi the white and displayed it as a flg of truce This second flag was objected to because it was so much like the British standard and also because It resembled a flig of truce The latter objection was regarded as so valid that abroad stno of red wss attached to the fly end of the flag Tne third and last ensign the shortlived Confederacy was adopted by the Confederate Congress February 41865 Its width was to be twothirds of its length and its union for which the design of the battle flig was still used was threefifths the width of tne flag Its field wa3 white except the outer half from the union which was a red bar the width of the flag Three months after the adoption of the ensign its raiso etre perished in the utter overthrow of the Confederate armies AllFaper Cigars Albany Express Smokers will be interested to know that not a thousand miles from Albany there is a firm which makes large quantities cf paper for this avowed purpose The plan of operation is said to be this The paper on reaching the tobacco warehouse is repeatedly soaked In a strong decoction of the plant It is then cut up and pressed in molds which give to each sheet the venation ot the genuine leaf tobacco So close is the imitation that expert tobacco men and habitual smokers have been deceived At a recent gathering In this city cigars made from this paper tobacco were pasted around and declared excellent Many of those present declared that the cigars were made from rare brands and so well was the imitation carried out that one man actually insisted there could be no mistake about the cigars being genuine tobacco THE HON JOSEPH

west coast of Vancouver Island recently the captain and crew were surprised to see white girls running toward the vessel closely pursued by three or four Indians Reaching the side of the vessel the girls spiang on board almost exhausted and begged the captain to protect them from their pursuers The Iodians were close upon them and demanded the girls as their property bat the captain refused to give the girls up After parleying with the captain for a short time they left only to return largely reenforced The captain then surrendered the girls for fear of his life They are daughters of William Thompson formerly of Victoria who with his wife and four daughters moved to San Juan After moving to this place the father became dissipated and all he earned went for the purchase of liquor He sold his eldest daughter to a wealthy Chinaman to whom It is said she was mirrled at the point of the revolver In one of his revelries at the Indian camp it is alleged he agreed to barter two of his daughters for whisky The following night the girls were easily carried away by a lew of the tribe Since their captivity the girls have been subject to the most brutal treatment A younger sister only eight years old was sold to another tribe of Indians WORSE THAN A VOLCANO Tjndermlnrt with Gas Tho Insidious Natural Fuld Filling the Cellars and a Spar May Blew Up tho Town East Liverpool Ohio Nov 3 Considerable excitement has been caused here and not a little al arm is felt over the discovery that the city Is veritably undermined with natural gas In fact most of the people here are not aware what extreme cause for fear there Is but gas officials shake their heads and endeavor to hush the matter up as much as possible Recently several stores were blown up at New Lisbon the cause being a natural gas leak in the cellar There only a few cubic feet of gas was confined According to what can be learned here thousands perhaps millions of cubic feet have escaped and is lying compressed along gas main tunnels and in cavities In fact East Liverpool is tonight lying ovir a dormant crater that requires but a spark to become a terrible explosion and this has been the case for
