Gordon said: Gevernor, Mr. Mayor, Gentlemen of Committees and my Fellow Coun- trymen of Texas: How shall I tell you what we think of Texas, of her great-hearted people, her broad prai ries, and still broader hospitality? I but poorly express the thought of these veterans when I say that whether we look at her geographie- ally, historically or sentimentally, Texas js about the biggest thing we ever saw. She can raise catte enough on her wild lands to furnish all the canned beef for the armies of Unele Sam, John Bull and theGerman Em- pire, and still have fertile lands enough left, if planted in the fleeey staple, to make more bales of cotton than are now produced by America pt combined; or, if planted and Ry: in grain crops to feed every man, woman and child in the union, With such a territory—almost equal to that of the origin i) thirteen states which threw off the yoke of and wrenehed freedom from bonda the greatest of empires this great commonwealth holds to-day within its borders a population devoted to those same imperishable principles— a population which, if the oceasion should come, would wage another seven years’ war in defence of this inherited republie its flag, its laws and its regulated liberties. In the few moments in which pro- priety permits me to speak, I dare Hot trust nyse tt K the briefest allusion to Texas his- tory. [cannot survey even the con- fines of that vast field, made so rich and inspiring by the great deeds of her martial sons. Indulge just long enough to say that from her birth, through ail her costly experiences as astruggling republic, and through subsequent wars, the sons of iexas, whenever summoned to the sacrifice, have poured out their blood freely on liberty’s altars, From Goliad and San Jacinto, from Buena Vista and Sorro Gordo, from Chickamau- ga’s hills and the shivered rocks of the round-tops at Gettysburg, from the charge of hercowboys and rough riders up to the wire girdled steeps. of Santiago, from every battlefield made memorable by American valor comes the thrilling answer of Texas to Freedom's call, No wonder she his inspired her neighbors beyond the Rio Grande with wholesome re- spect for her prowess. No wonder that the Lone Star ie ao dazzling to Mexican eyes. You know that the Mexicans claim they could stand up fairly wellagainst the United States if it were not for Texas, But not only isFexas great his torically and great in her geograph- ical expanse, but she can do more in a small space thanany othercountry in the world. As proof, I point you to little Spindletop where a fev acres can pour out of the greasy throats of boiling, thundering gushers, oil enough to light every hamlet in the land, and at the same time, if gov- ernment experiments are successful, enough oil to kill all the mosquitoes from the Jersey shore to the Mexican border. Again Texas has the biggest-cities of their size in the universe. Shall I illustrate by naming one? The throb- bing heart ofevery veteran in this assembly has already answered with the name of Dallas—beautiful Dallas, holding now in her loving embrace more people from the outside than she has population inside. And who are those men whom she so tenderly and so lovingly embracee? Is some Prince Heury, or some po- tentate of kingly Tineage passing in her streeta? There areno prince Hen- rye here—no brothers nor other kin| that had life and a fair degree of ot the great Kaiser.

St. Louis Republic, Republicans in the Missouri coun- ties are being led into a rediculous attitude by their party managers. They are unconsciously raising issues from which they will flee as froma plague before the close of this year’s campaign, A cuse directly in point is the reso- lution of the Cape Girardeau county republicans denouncing the demo- cratic state administration for “the unequal and unjust taxation placed upon the farmers of our county, when the corporations are allowed to practically escape.” If there is any above all others which one subject Missouri re- publicans have cause to evade it is that of taxation, Let the Cape Girardeau republi- cans examine the records left by theirown party, They will find that the farmers and individual prop- erty owners were required to bear all the burdens of an excessive tax rate while their party had control in the state. years of republican rule the railroads of Missouri, which democrats have assessed at more than eighty millions of dollars, were not required to pay taxes at all, They will find that the state de- partments, which now annually pay into the state treasury in srecial taxes, fees and commissions more than half a million of dollars, practi- eally all of which comes from corpo- rations, did not earn a dollar for the people during the six years when their own party managed the affairs of the state; and they will find by exam- ination of their tax bills that the democratic methods which they so greatly deplore have reduced their state tax more than 50 per cent. Coming down to a more recent date, they will find by examining the records in St. Louis. that republ:can city officials assessed the street rail ways at less than six millions of dol lars and that democratic state officials increased this to more than eighteen millions. They will find by going beyond their own state fora comparison that democratic Missouri assesses railroad property at 48 per cent higher than republican Illinois; 60 per cent high- er than republican Kansas and 130 per cent higherthan republican Lowa They will find, too, that the republi- ean rule for which they are longing imposes for state revenue purposes a tax rate on general property more than double as high in Iowa as is levied iu Missouri; more than three times as high in Illinois, and more than five timesas high in Kansas. The country republicans who are adopting the machine made resolu tions sent out from St. Louis will realize later on what it is to havea lot of political fakirs for party lead- ers. f Kansas Wheat Was Helped. Topeka, May 8.—F. D. Coburn, secretary of the state board of agri- culture, says he has not heard from his correspondents on the subject, but from his general observation he is satisfied that the rain this week wasa great help to the wheat and corn. Of course there were some fields that were past saving, but the plant vigor wus givena new growth and it will make a fair crop. The corn, Mr. Coburn says. is a little late in ed, he never hus seen a better pros- pect fora crop at this time of the ear. - - The rain this week was timely and just right for the young plant, and with the raing that usually come throogh the spring aud summer in city, who left home two years ago and has not been seen or heard of since. He has told the wife of Davis that the missing man was killed and ‘thrown in a shaft on the Smith and Potter mining land near this city, by a gambler of Webb City. So accurate was the boy's description of the mise- ing manthat tlt wife is positive she will find the remains of her husband. The boy gave an accurate descrip- | tion of his clothing and the watch he wore, although he had never seen Davis in his life) What he told Mrs. Davis is so corroborated by what is known to be the truth, that she is convinced her husband has been mur- dered and has taken steps to have the shaft, which is about ninety feet deep, drained immediately. It is now flooded with water but pumps have been ordered and work will be- gin on the search as soon as possi- dle. STATEHOOD BILL PASS {5 THE HOUSE. After Spirited Debate Members Vote to Admit the Three Territories Separately. Washington, May 9.—The bill to admit Arizona, New Mexico and Oklahoma to statehood -was passed in the house at 2 o’clock this after- division. The debate leading up to the pas* sage of the bill was quite spirited, Mr. Overstreet, Republican, of In- diana, made a speech on his amend- ment consolidating Arizona and New Mexico, Ball, Dem. of Texas, opposed the amendment as contrary to both Republican and Democratic promises. Mr. Lacey, Republican, of Lowa, argued that the two united would be nv bright star to add to the flag, but as separate states would be little boroughs where capital would con- trol, Mr. Rodey, of New Mexico, said New Mexico did not wish to be t’ed to Arizona, and Smith, of Arizona, said the purport of the amendment was to defeat the bill. The amendment was lost, 106 to 28. Many Republicans failed to vote. Another amendment — prohibiting polygamy or plural marriages in the three proposed states was adopted. When Delegate Mark Smith, of Arizona, finished his speech in op- position to admitting New Mexico and Arizona to the union as one state, he suddenly put his hand to his head and staggered out. Dr. Wilson, a member from Brooklyn, followed him and gave him imme- diate attention; luckily averting a stroke of paralysis. Mr. Smith re- covered rapidly. Breaks Into Death Chamber. Omaha, Neb., May 9.—Despite the protests of the family, Coroner Brailey and Dr. Lavender, this morn- ing toreibly broke in the door of the chamber in which was lying the dead body of 13 year-ol1* Donald Eller, and held @ post mortem examination of the corpse, finding that death was caused by appendicitis. Young Eller died yesterday without medical at- tendance, both he and his father pr.- ferring Christian Science creatment, despite the orders of the authorities to get a physician. x When the coroner arrived, Judge Eller, the father, was absent, and his daughters, upon their knees, begged he would not do anything until the father arrived. The coroner insisted on breaking into the death chamb.e on their refusal to the door. The coroner's jury this afternoon held an inquest, and decided that no law can be invoked at J Eller. The judge is over desecration of his son’s body, and declares be will prosecute criminally. Brailey and Dr. Lovender civilly and Joplin, May 9.—L. J. Marman, | secure here to-day to take Dunner-|extradition papers, and from that In the meantime, thoughts of nav- ing committed bigamy are driving some of them to melancholy. It all happened at the Purim ball recently. Somebody suggested that each man select a partner and go through a mock marriage. The suggestion pleased many young persons and fully 200, many of them said to have been already married, went through the Jewish marriage ceremony, including the placing of a ring on the finger of the bride. Several days later, a New . York rabbi informed several of the young persons that every one of the mar- riages was valid. A marriage license is not required in New York. The joke then ceased to be a joke. Several other rabbis were consulted, and every one of them pronounced the marriages valid because the mockers had not only used rings, but had so faithfully repeated mar- riage pledges that the ceremony met all the requirements of the Jewish re- ligion. Itis said that fully three-fourths of the young persons concerned will apply to the courts to have the mar- riages annulled and the remainder will abide by the result. A majority of those thus married are residents of thiscity, and the restare residents of New York, Brooklyn and nearby cities. Crowds Besiege Cathedra New York, May 8.—So great were the crowds that gathered in the neighborhood of St. Patrick’s Cathe- dral this afternoon to view the body of Archbishop Corrigan lying in state that the police became unable to handle them. Probably 15,000 per- sons were surging about the cathe- dral and trying to get within the door to the interior where some 5,000 others were endeavoring to view the body of thedead Archbishop. Inspector Thompson was on hand in person with 125 policemen and at 4o’clock he sent for 100 reserves, At that time traffic was ata standstill for blocks along Fifth averue, and within the body of the cathedral and out in the street women were be- ing hustled and were fainting by the score. Up to4 o'clock the detectives who were stationed in the cathedral had carried out into the street more than a score of women who had been overcome within the building alone. All day long crowds of persons kept filing in and out of St. Patrick’s, Many waited patiently in line fur hours, with the expectation of being allowed to look upon the face of the dead prelate. Anotner Congressman Dead. Washington, May 7.—Congressman Salmon of the Fourth distriet of New Jersey, died last night at his home in Boonton of apoplexy. He was 56 years old and was serving his second term in congress. He was a demo- crat. He is the third member to die in the past week. Cummings of New York and Oley of Virginia being the others.
