THE FARMERS AND THE COMING
ELECTIONS.

Whenever n man is elected to a
ounty Office, he becomes an inhabi-
ant of the county town, at least
'or the time being. Very often,
however he becomes permanent
citizen. About each county town
has gathered a number of men
who have neither trade, profession,
pursuit or calling, Other than office
either as chief or under
ling. They are shrewd, sharp and
wary, and not always either bad
men or poor officers. Rings to con-
troll country affairs is the almost in
evitable result of this state OF
things. Into these rings the far
mers, or in other words, the citizen
and voter of the country, does not,
and indeed cannot,penetrate. States
are invariably made at the county
seat, and generally the dispositions
are so skillfully made that they can
not be disturbed by any fair means,
and hence these things grow into
rings, and the farmers are practi-
cally excluded from any direct par
ticipation in the management Of
county affairs. Part of the evil
here complained of has, no doubt,
come from the inertness and indif-
ference of the farmers themselves,
who, instead of feeling and mani
Testing personal interest in these
matters, to the detriment of public
economy, and careful, frugal pub
lie administration have practically
ignored these things.
Now, when we consider that the
farmers of any gwen county In
Texas, represent four-ffths of the
taxable property and pay cur
rent expenses of local govern
ment, 1t is only justice to them
selves that they take more interest
in the practical administration OF
their local affairs. To this end we
urge them to be at the primary elec-
tions, not as office-seekers partiou-
larly, but to see to it that good
men, not merely good fellows, be
selected to fill our county Offices.
And this advice does not contem-
plate the substitution of farmers fol
townsmen in filling county offices
and we would never advise that ex
perience and true and tried devotion
to the public interests be ignored il
the person of old and faithful of
ficers, but let the farmers asser
themselves in the choice TO be made
and we are willing to trust thei
wisdom, penetration and patriotism
Were this course pursued for
few years, its good effects woul
be observable in a better under
standing between all classes, whic
would certainly come by an
through better acquaintance, an
a mutual respect for each other
patriotism and strength.
The true patriot of any class an
