tariff reform bill takes 70000000 from the Internal revenue tax and 025000000 from customs duties In other words the bill reported by Mr Mills as chairman of the ways and means committee relieves the people of taxes on necessary articles cf consumption while the Randall bill seeks to relieve them of taxes on luxuries The infamy of internal taxes Is conceded but the people Bhould first be relieved of that other war tax the robber tariff When the tariff is reformed fully the people will abolish all Internal rev enues TEE LAST SPIKE According to a telegram primed in yesterdays issue of The Gazette the last spike has been driven in the Fort Worth and Denver and 8C0 miles of a grand trunk road finds terminus at Fort Worth the great railroad center of the southwest On the morning of the 20th Inst the first through passenger train will leave Fort Worth for Denver carrying the delegates to the cattlemens convention to be held in Colorados capital Twelve Pullman cars will be attached to this train which will leave Fort Worth in the morning dine at Wichita Falls sup at Clarendon breakfast on the 27th at Trinidad and sup that day at Denver The completion of the Fort Worth and Denver is full of significance to Texas and especially to Fort Worth the Texas terminus of this great road The Fort Worth and Dtnver is the only road pene trating the Ptnhsndlo from the south and from it may be reached the great cattle pastures and coal beds of the northwest Already a train load of coal Is en route from Trinidad to Fort Worth and very soon train loads of Texas lumber and cavle will be en route northward over the Fori Worth and Denver The lumberman of this state will be on the alert and gather at Fort Worth as the starting point for the new fields opened up to their prodect And the merchants of Fort Worth will not be slow to prepare for the additional territory made tributary to them by this grand line through the Panhandle Andourown people should not forget that the men ct Texas who would buy coal from or sell lumber to the northwest must come to Fort Worth In order to reap advantage from tha opening of this only great line to the Pan handld OneTA of Artesian Wells VopzTit Sclenco Monthly Tha sedlmecfory rocks in their great thickness inclcses a succession of water sheets or wate levels occupying dis tinct stages and extending with uniform characters under whole countries like ths strata to which they are subordinated It is proper to remark here that by the term water sheet is not meant a real bed of water lodged In a cavity between solid masses that serve as walls to It but water filling the minute Interstices or the cracks of a rock Continuous and regular In sand those sheets are usually discontinuous and Irregular in limestones and sandstones In which the water only occupies more or less spacious fissures Wnen natural Issues are wanting human Industry Is ableby boring to make openings down to the subterranean waters which it ctusss to jet up to the svrface and sometimes to a considerable height above The thought ot undertaking such works Is a very ancient one The Egyptians had recourse to them forty centuries ago they were executed in France In 1126 at Artols whence tne name of artesian wells has been given them Tha water levels of tho cretaceous strata from which the French artesian waters Issue are not always of advantage but in the north of France and In Belgium they constitute the most formidable obstacles which miners have to encounter In reaching the coalbeds A striking confirmation of the theory of the source ot supply of the artesian waters has been observed at Tours where the wnter spouting with gTeat velocity from a well 110 meters In depth brings up together with the sand freshwater shells and seeds in such a state of preservation as to show that they could not havii been more than three or four months on their voysce Some of the wells of the Wady Blr have also ejected freshwater mollusks fish and crabs still living which must therefore have made a still more rapid transit rq WAMS TOM TEIaS Mills Says Randalls Tariff Bill was Framed for the Protection of Trusts and Pools ThP Fight In be Ways nrt STpns

March 16 President Cleveland has not fnlly made up his mind yet about attending the grand capltol dedication In Austin but It is learned from a reliable onrco tnat he would very much like in company with Mrs Cleveland to mako the trip and if tbe cares of state be not pressed too heavily he will be a guest of the Lone Star caplUl May next RANDALLS TARIFF MEASURE Special to the Gazette Washington March 1C The Democratic members ot the ways and means committee are disgusted with Bandslls tariff bill They are convinced he cannot win with it and must suffer in Democratic circles for having taken a position so antagonistic to the plainly declared principles and policyof the party Chairman Mills says of the bill It ithe quintessence of protection and Mr Rindall will no more be able to piss it than fly So far as lam able to see from a critical examination it makes no reductions or at least very few in the tariff list Where he docs make changes In the existing law they ore uaelessln the direction of causing taxation and prohibiting Importations For instance In the case ot tin plates he Increases the duty 110 per cent In the case of cotton his increase is more than 100 per cent His reduction on steel rails is not enough to permit importation butis just enough to make the price of an English made rail here equal to that charced by the American manu facturcrs Els sngar and wool schedules are substantially the same as under existing law Mr Randalls bill will of course have no effect on the opinion of the ways and means committee as expressed in the measure submitted by Us members I dont think he will be able to get the Republicans In the Honse to go wltn him In his proposition to reduce the tax on whisky I should imagine from my glance at this bill that it had been prepared by members of various trusts and handed to Mr Rindall for introduction It should be called a bill for the protection of trusts combinations and pools to increase taxation and to destroy our foreign commerce It seems to be framed for the benefit of the Steel 1U1 Association of Pennsylvania principally civil service investioation Special to tbe Gaiotte Washington March IC A good deal of comment has been occasioned by the passage in the Senate of the Hale resolution appointing a committee of seven Senators to Inquire into and report to what extent this administration has carried out the spirit and intent of tbe civil seivice law Snator Cockrells amendment to have the inquiry Include all ad ministrations since tho passage of the civil service act having been defeated It is now understood that the Democrats in the House will pass a similar resolution to cover tne period designated so that in the attack on ClevelandsSsdmlnistration by the Senate resolution tbe Houte by a flink movement may defeat the object ol the Hale inquiry by having a comparison made of previous administrations with the present one and thus show the conn try that Cleveland has carried out to a greater extent the civil service law than any of his predecessors THE THIRD TARIFF BILL Special to the Gazetv WASHiNGTONMarch 16 The Republican tariff bill is being framed Wnlle its exict terms are not known sufficient reliable information is at hand to state it will make few changes In the tariff schedules It will take the tax of 50000 COO off of sugars and give a bounty of 6000000 to sugar raisers It will take the Ux off all tobacco manufacture aQd unmanuftcured except possibly a slight tax oh cigars It will make free alcobol used in arts and will place these imported articles not produced or manufactured In tho country on the free list The Republicans say they cannot eupoort Mr Randalls bill as it stands THE MEW CHINESE TREATY Washington March 16 The PesI dent today sent the new Chinese treaty to the Senate but it has not yet been laid before that body as no secret eesion been held elnco its arrival It la understood that the President resommends that tbe Injunction ot Secrecy bn at once removed from the treaty Tha treaty by its terms runs twenty years A Chinese laborer who has 1060 worth of property here or who has a lawful bUBband or wife or parent or child here

had occasion to part with a colored men I didnt want to cast him out upon the cold world because I feart that 11 the world got too cold he would come back tj me So I unloaded him upon a neighbor I never had a ripple of trouble with him I had em ployed him ostensibly to groom a horse occasionally and mow tha lawn once or twice a year I scon learned that he was running an African dormitory and a poker layout in my stable and the general appearance of my premises finally brought me letters from the American Missionary Union asfeing permission to establish one of their Congo out stations tween my barn and the kitchen rhisas much as any thing pise induced me to part with Albert He shipped with me under the nom de plnme of AlDert Wilson bnt I noticed that some of the natives called him Lame

little Eva the entire family eat bathed In tears not could one of them speak a word but all monrrfnlly separated going to their rooms as though they had just attended the funeral ofa dear friend Some friends met Thackeray on the street one day and his countenance bore traces of intense grief What is the matter they asked I have just killed Colonel Newcome he sobbed bursting into tears as he hurried away Charles Dickens had the same experience So did I Mine was even more harrowing When I wrote my first funny story about Mr Bllderback going up on the roox to shovel off the stiOff and making an avalanche cf himself and sliding down into a water oarrel I wss almost heart broken I didnt kill Mr Bllderback myself Ah Indeed I hadnt the heart to do that The managing editor that dear considerate soul saw how I fell about It and ue killed him for me He also killed all the other dear loving gentle characters In the sketch And as I was leaving he remarked that he would kill me If I ever came back with any more such stuff He meant it too People who saw me coming out of the cfllce scraping dust and lint and pino slivers and gouts of paste off my back saw at once by my grief stricken face that something had happened But I could not tell them what My poor bursting heart was too fall JUST CAUGHT OK THE FLY It is true my son there Is always room at the top bnt nobody wants
