This city being the centre of the wheat
growing region commands the trade in
that staple, and for the last two weeks it
has been as thronged with wagons and
countrymen as Cotton Town, adjoining
Columbia, used to be in December twen-
ty years ago. 1t is shipped in every di-
rection-North, South and East. Here
tofore it has found a market in New
Orleans and in the southern part Of this
State. But, in consequence of the failure
of the crop in the northwest, thousands
of bushels are being shipped this year to
st. Louis and other points North. Tho
sudden advance in the price at Chicago q
few days ago, produced great excitment
among the dealers here, and they were
almost prepared to 60 to blows ovor tho
freight cars that were here ready to be

The rapid and steady growth of Dallas
is due in great part to tho fact that she
has no dull season. 1t is hustle and bus
mess here all the year round. Cotton in

engaged.

THE NEW CONSTITUTION

In another column will be found
the official vote of tn e county on
the New Constitution. We regret
that we cannot give the actual ma
jority i'll the state, but enough is
known to indicate its adoption by a
very large majority of the votes cast.
For some days before the election we
feared that there was am organized
effort being quietly made for its de-
feat, but it was not developed at the
polls. The people generally thought
the Instrument OUT 1rr--=.nUut
any trouble so there was no excite
ment and consequently a light vote.
In ST. Louis county the vote for its
adoption was about seven, to one
against. In many precincts there was
not a single negative vote. We con-
graduate the citizens of tie state on
the result, and as it inauguratcs radi-
cal changes i'll many departments OF
our state government it will be we'll
for the peorle.as well as their OFF,
Gals, to familiarize themselves with
its provisions.

lieau came out unequiyocaliy i'll favor
of the instrument immediately upon
the adjournment of the Convention.
The st. Louis Times aud Dispatch
opposed it, and the Globe patted it
on the back II day and tried to
claw its eyes out the next. The Kan
sas City Times generally supported
it. The Republicans editorials for
the adoption ofthe constitution were
the most numerous and BY far tbs
ablest that were published i'll any

From late adyices it seems that

From late advices it seems that
there is a lively discussion going on
bet the United States IN SPAN
in regard To the long continued hos
t~ili,ics in Cuba. President Grant is
at last awakened to a duty which has
for considerable length of time been
apparent to the people OF the country.
There can be no doubt of the fact
that the United States suffers fully
as much from the unsettled condition
sf affairs III that island as does Spain,
and it is nigh time that this country
was entering a protest against the
barbarities which have been practiced
there by the Spanish troops for
years. The policy of Spain has been
to send nut insufficient numbers of
troops, which could only tend to pro-
long the war, and could, under no
circumstances. be expected to decide
it. BY this policy two-thirds of the
island has been laid waste, and the
scenes of destruction and desOlatinn
continue. In the name of humanity,
and in the interest of our commerce,
the President should either recog-
ni2e the beligerency OF the Cubans
or acknowledge their independence.
Then the matter would soon he de-
rided. IL is estimated that the United
States has paid during the last seven
years one hundred and thirty-iive
millions of dollars in dulles OH sugar
bought from Cuba. every cent of
which has been a premium to Spain.
with which to prosecute her war.
