Inc newspapers throughout the state
are showing the farmers the great adj
yantages OF raising more provisions and
less cotton Our people are consumers
OF very little of the material made from
cotton and it will cost little to purchase
that, but they consume a great deal of
provisions, much more than is produced
here' These will be very high, while
our surplus productions will he very
low hence the necessity of changing
crops to suit the market.

PRESIDENT HAYES proposes to take at
southern tour, and meet the southern
people Mt their homes. This is u dopar-
ture from the former customs of the
executive, and one that the people will
hail with JOY. The president, for the
good he has done the south, will be
kindly received, and heartily welcomed
by the people. This may not be the
pompous parade as has been common in
the north when distinguished person
age arrived, but his reception will be
hat of southern hospitality.

YESTERDAY we gave the list of officers
and directors elected by the Central
railroad stockholders. There were
65,657 of the 1913 shares repre-.
sented at the meeting. The board of
directors. which had consisted of seven
members, was increased to nine The
stockholders granted the board of di.
rectors authority to issue seven per
cent interest bearing bonds, to the
amount of S2,500,0OO, in order to pro.
vide for the floating debt. The bonds
oil course, being secured by mortgage
upon the road and al its apurtenances.
The bonds have already been issued
by the company.
We CLEAN the following biographies
OF the officers from the TELEGRAM
Mr.. Charles A. Whitney, the presi-
dent, Is son-in-law of Commodore
Charles Morgan, and is senior member
OF the firm of G. A. Whitney q Co. of
New Orleans, who have for years had
control Of the transportation interests
of Commodore Morgan, embracing both
steamships and railroads. He brings
10 bear on the affairs of the Central the
large experience thus acquired, and
will doubtless inaugurate the economi-
cal and efficient system of management
which is the chief characteristic of
Morgan's lines Of transportation.
Mr.. g. Jordan, the vice,president is
a stranger to most Of our people. He
an engineer by profession, and has had
extensive railroad experience, hay.
ing been for seventeen years gen
eral manager OF the Montgomery and
Mobile railroad in Alabama, in which
position he acquired high reputation
for ability. Tie has, forsome time past,
been general manager Of the Memphis
and Charleston railroad, and come
thence TO Texas with very high
rank among the railroad men Of
the south. His selection as vice>presi-
dent Of the Central Il doubtless due 10
the skill and ability displayed by him
in his former official positions.
Mr.. A. S. Richardson the secretary,
is native Texan, almost a native
Houstonian, and is well known TO most
OF our readers He has held the posi-
ton TO which he has been reelected

THE WASHINGTON MONUMENT.

Thcreportof the JOINT commission, created
by the act approved August >, 1876, an act
providing for the completion of the Wash
lngton monument, is also herewith transmit
ted with accompanying documents The
board OF engineers and officers detailed to
examining the monument, in compliance with
the ID section OF the act, have reported
that the foundation is Insufficient. No
authority exists for expenditures necessary to
secure It's stability therefore recommend
that the commission he authorized to expend
such portion Of the sum appropriated by the
act rs may be necessary for the purpose.
The present unfinished condition Of the
monument began 50 long since is 4 reproach
20 the nation. 1t cannot be doubted that
the Patriotic Voice Of the country will re-
Spond 10 such I~ompt provision as may be
made for lis completion at an early day, and
l urge upon congress the propriety and
necessity of Immediate legislation Tor this
purpose.
