Tho Statesman of the 9th publishe,
the following extract from letter
written from Dallas:
In your beautiful city of Austin YES.
terday 1t was exceedingly hot and in.
tolerably dusty; here in this ilourishing
north Texas metropolis to>day, il Is
very cool. The rainfall has been abun.
dant over the country and all is lovely
Such a contrast is remarkable. This
country Is an Egypt for all sorts of
crops. There is no trace of the cotton
worm this side of Hearne. From Aus.
TIN TO Hearne one.third of the cotton
is riddled by the worms. In the Brazos
bottom, where the weed is large and
splendid, il seems to be almost de,
stroyed by this cotton planters inexor,
able enemy. The cotton crop from
Austin TO Hearne will not yield over
half crop, but thence to Dallas and
around about, the crop bids fair to make
u iull yield, with one-third more in
acreage than in any former year. You
oil talk about Austin and the country
around II as peerlessly beautiful but
you have no such country as this of
ours.

Tue State Gazette should remember
that as the times change the policies OF
political parties change with them.
Democrats are not bondholders as u
rule, especially in the south, and the
repeal OF the resumption act is neces,
sary in order to make it possible for
the honest men in that party to get
hold Of dollar now and then. We
must remonetiSe silver and build the
Texas and Pacific and the scope of the
objects OF the party has been enlarged
to include these necessary objects. The
Democracy is the party of progress and
all these later objects are squarely in
the line.

tude that even after those long years Of
