Cattle Raising In Texas

AS showing the cost and profit Of keeping
cattle in Texas, the Henrietta Journal says:
"The cost of keeping cattle is about $3.50
8 head, or 81 500 per thousand. -Four mon,
with twelve to sixteen horses, will tend a
herd of 1900. The profits are as follows:
"Beeves, per head, cost SIS; running ex-
pences, $3.50; sell at S22, with profit of 80
per cent. Profit on COWS costing $3.50 per
head; cost Of keeping, $3.50, SIS. Increase
of calves IS per cent, worth So per head.
Net profit, 20 per cent.
On mixed herd the beeves sold will pay
expenses, and the increase will double itself
in three years. A discount is made on a
herd of 10 per cent. for losses. The profit on
6 mixed herd is about 20 per cent.
II says there is total of cattle in IT, Fan
Handle country of about 100, 900 head and it
i fair to calculate that the increase this year
from the present herds will average not so
per cent. of the entire number This will
give $4,000 calves: the number that will
stop this season from the Texas drive win be
about $4,000 head, and from Colorado, about
10000 head. This will leave in the Par
Handle for next years round-ups about
5000 head, and yet this does not begin tt
I'll up the country, as it is estimated that il
will hold about 100000 head. The present
average prices from mixed herds per hea(
are: Texas stock, Sl3 80; domestic stock
;Sl5; beeves alone, 500.

ParaIytic Laws.

Laws that are not enforced should be re-
pealed. Texas has upon her statute books
several laws that are violated every day, and
this persistent, UNPUBLISHED violation of law
can have no other effect than TO weaken and
undermine respect and reverence for any and
all law. The element of society that is
prone to disregard law and order on general
principles is very much encouraged ~ follow
its natural bent, when the law of the state in
nany instances amounts TO nothing better
than deAd-lettef. Take, for instance, one
of the pet measures of Governor Roberts, re-
garding which the Dallas convention was so
profoundly silent-the bell-punch law. Here
sa law, the obligation to observe and en-
orce the law forbidding defalcaton of tax
c ELECTORS and the embezzlement Of public
funds, and it is openly disregsrded or evaded
every minute of the day in every town from
BED river to the Rio Grande. Bad
ynen, who notice that no punishment at
taches to violating one law, are apt to in
er that other laws can also be violated with
mpunity. Under the circumstances, per-
hsps, the best thing the governor can do
with reference to the psralytc ll.punch
law, unless the requisite legislation can be
secured to mako it infallibly effective, is to
recommend its repeal. The Sunday law is
not violated as often as the bell.punch law,
for the obvious reason that there is only an
opportunity to do SO one day in the week,
but in most communities throughout the
state the Sunday law is as much on object OF
popular indifference or rision as il the
oell.punch law. Nobody pretends to saw
shat the law against bearing concealed
deadly weapons is generally enforced, and
no earnest or systematic effort is made to en-.
force it. The law.abiding citizen, however,
who goes unarmed, is placed at the mercy Of
The assassin. II i, safe TO say that these law.
should either be regularly and effectively On
forced or straightway expunged from the
statute book. As they stand now, they are .
disgrace to the state, and u trap for the un
wary.

shadow of the superstition inspired by the
machine and 10, as yet, unable to shake 1t on
to emerge into the full light of an intelli-
gent fearless day. 1t will always DO thus
while the machine is accepted as the best
method to regulate and control politics.
When the vot learns the true value of the
ballot box, as the method of securing the
blessings that flow from good government,
there will be change When men learn to
think and vote for themselves, without the
membership of mschinery-when they get
fearless enough to defy ostracism for politics
sake even as they do for religions sake, then
the press will not labor in vain or lack for
influence. A voter depositing his ballot {"
his conscience and inclination dictate, is a
rare spectacle in those sections where the
machine superstition yet ling rs. An inilu,,
entail press and superstitions of any kind
cannot thrive in the same atmosphere. The
influence of one or the other must predomi..
nate. The little hair-covered trunk, bound
with grass cord, is the fetch that the ma
chine holds sloft just now. And in their
superstition thousands pale rs they think of
the power of the fetch.

Political Morality.

In nearly every section Of the country the
press is uniting all the forces at its command
in bold endeavor to secure an honest and
vigorous enforcement Of those prohibitory
laws that are intended 10 restrain the vicious
passions of both men and women. The re-
failing OF whisky on every corner of city,
town or village, and at every crossroads
throughout the land has about convinced
those who think, that the law which encour-
ages this practice is a bad one and ought to
be repealed. The numberless homes of shame
that brace themselves against the retreats of
virtue and float their signals of death and
disgrace in the face of purity, have about
fulfilled one mission, and that is call for
their suppression. In Texas, as in other states,
there are laws that protect society against
these temptations, and that would be equiva-
lent to that duty we're they only enforced by
the officers Of the government under the
pressure of demand from the people them
selves. These laws will always remain as
dead letters upon the statute books, so long
as their violations are made decent and re-
spectacle by the examples of the hight Off
cisls and most honored citizens Of the coun-
try. When conventions convene and nomi-
nate renowned patron of the bar-rooms
and whis ~ shops tor the highest office in
the gift Of the people, and followed up the
selection by others no better in the tout
en- semb0 Of party ticket, what hope can
the lover of law and order entertain that
such men will enforce the Sunday law, the
laws preventing gambling, and other ofienses
that ruin society, and that send their shafts
of sgony and regret at the very heart OF
home happiness. When the people Of n
country support such nominees and give to
vice the means of evading the enforcement
of the virtuous laws that have been passed
in obedience to their demands what hope
is there left for the prosperity and well being
Of such land? There is remedy and it
has already been stated. Let I'm professional
politicians take care of them rs ard let
them grow into eye.sores amor2 people,
and the safety of the country wal N'edily

affairs to heart just as they do then re
interests, and let them eject no man t. Ice
whose moral record will not bear investigs-
ton, and the work of public reform will be
completed.

Minority Report.

Corsicana 0bserver-lndex.
A minority report was submitted, consist
ug of twelve sections, and in the place of
dealing in generalites the report points out
the policy to be pursued, or that the Democ-
racy should pursue, in plain, pointed terms.
With one or two exceptions It is much the
better platform. We are struck with aston
shment at the vague generalities limited at in
che majority report, and the absence of a well
defined policy. 1t is not what the people of
Texas expected to come from the assembled
wisdom Of a great state such as ours.
That the press of this state will critcise the
report we expect. What our enemies will
az about it is net our business to predict.
We expected platform 10 eminate from the
& tate convention sparkling with wisdom and
patriotic sentiment, as pointed, positive and
unerring as the mariners needle points to the
north pole.
We are disappointed, and sadly so.
