NOMINATIONS.

We wlll take no more nominations

wish 10 be understood Ia saying that
DECENTRALIZATION Of our last State Con-
venton was not good one, although
by acclnmatIou. But We mean 10 aver
that such procedure IL not II wise
rpne, and IL by no means calculated to
fsuleerye the Interest of Texas or that
Of Tie pauy)now welding her destI-
MEG. There IL too much clap.trnp aud
trickery In these thouellless aud ab
rypt SELECTIONS, and we look 10 the
u GaIvestOn Convention TO remedy this
3 evil and established wiser, safer and
more satisfactory procedure.
When nominations IRE made, let
the roll ofcounliesb be called by the Sec
letlry and free, fair dispossionate
vote be taken.

lay our faces In the dust.
Texas can boast of strong men-men
who can bear themselves proudly in

THE RELATIONS OF CURRENCY
AND PROSPERITY.

.. An Illinois lecturer makes this strong
point:
During the five years from 1868 to 1853, net
withstanding the unusual wback of war
that destroyed hundreds Of millions Of dollars
worth OF wealth, our nation enjoyed pros
perity unequaled in the annals Of civilization.
The material wealth Of the nation increased
more than i'll ten years of our previous or SUBJ
sequent history. Our fields and factories, our
shops and highways, were the scenes Of busy.
prosperous industry. There was no enforced
idleness, no nakednesS and hunger. among
those able to work Full employulent wss
found for hand and brain. During this tune
we had in circulation el ,l0O, ,OOO. 90 of money.
In addition to this we had other evidences OF
debt Of a like amount, which performed many
OF the functions OF money. This vast sum al
a. 800 900 900 circulated almost exclusively In
the northern states and east OF the Rocky
mountains-there being but little Of Il in any of
our western territories, or in the southern
states.
The distinguished feature Of this time
from 1868 to lS6S-was, that the working nso-
pie began to accumulate = surplus. They be-

We print in another column a very in
teresting letter from Hon. Leonard b.
Hodges, superintendent OF tree-plant-
ing on the St. Paul and Pacific railroad,
upon this important question. Mr.
Hodges demonstrates that the fences Of
Minnesota cost the farmers two millions
of dollars annually. t-
1t is very important that the farmers
should discuss this subject. We would
be glad to publish correspondence on
both sides Of the question, and thus ge,
at the truth. And then let Legislation
enforce public opinion. The passage OF
herd law year or two ago by the
Legislature, in reference to Stevens
county, has already saved the settlers
thousands of dollars, and it constitutes
one of the reasons for the rapid settle
ment OF the county. Every now county
should insist upon similar herd law.
