THIS conversion of Republicans to the
Democratic creed is an indication Of Q gene
raj drift in American politics. The expla-
nation of il is that Republicanism has out
lived its time. It has grown fat, rich, indo-
lent profigate, tolerant of abuses, unpro-
gressive. It is not an old party; but no 9TH
er party ever made better use of its follow
ers. It started out as radical party, and
challenged the support Of the masses by It's
bold avowal of upturning policies. But it
dropped this habit when its leaders grew
rich and became transformed from seedy ad-
venturers irito millionaires and for fifteen
years il has affected moneyed conservatism
and SO entangled itself with alliances with
capitalists and corporations as TO estrange
the popular sympathy. 1t is decaying par
ty. It has not even managed TO retain the
support of the Southern negroes. whom ii
claims to have emancipsted. Its following
grows smaller and smaller every year; one
by one Il loses the states where il was once
all powerful; and IL looks now as il one
more presidential campaign would finish it

pIrdeye View Of Western Texas.

In the spring of 1s49 came to Texas,
and settled in Fayette county, east OF the
Colorado At that time the country west OF
the Colorado was considered unfit for farm
ing purposes on account Of the protractea
droughts. Nevertheless some newcomers,
induced by the cheapness Of land, settled
there and succeeded in raising fair crops.
This caused an influx Of immigration; and
the dry zone was shifted westward to the
Guadalupe river. Some years later 1t was
shifted to the San Antonio and Nueces riv.
ers. do not believe that the cultivation OF
the soil induced an increase of the annual
rainfall; because Western Texas, with its
mighty ones pring rivers, was designed ~
the Creator of the earth, to be country
with peculiar and dry climate. II God
tempers the wind to the shorn sheep, why
should He not temper the climate OF
country to accommodate food Of immigra-
ton who seek homes here, until the settlers
get the means and experience to withstand
the rieidness of the pristine climate of West
ern Texas? Western Texas may be destined
to be the home Of higher class of farmers,
| 70 practice the science of raising sufficient
crops with little or no rain.
How dry ii may become in Western Tex
as may be illustrated by record in tho
Mexican war department of an expedition
from the Rio Grande through Southern Tex
M to Louisiana; who found no running wa
ter from the Rio Grande to the Brazos.
What had become of the waters of the San
Antonio, Comal and San Marcos Springs?
Were they diminished Not in the least;
but believe those springs at that time how-
ed stronger than ever, but were consumed
by the dryness of the climate, the Indians,
wild horses, buffalo and other game, AS
immense as those springs are, they are not
any too large when the country becomes
thickly settled; and in extreme dry seasons
they may prove insufficient, and firmly be.
lieve that there is an opening left in the de-
sign of the San Marcos Springs, for such on
emergency in future times; because it is
reasonable to suppose that by relieving about
six feet of water from the fountain-head,
the volume of the river can be considerably
increased. This can be accomplished by
turning the whole volume of the river
through the northern bayou of the springs,
by the nearest route into the Blanco, or by
lowering the natural bed Of the river just
below the fountain head.
According to old Mexican records, the
streams of Western Texas, in extreme dry
seasons, cease running OF dry up from their
mouths upward; and according to the testi,
mony of the Oldest settlers, the streams in
Eastern and Northern Texas, Arkansas and
Louisiana, cease running or dry up from
their heads downward. That portion of the
: Colorado with its tributaries, North of the
32nd degree is an exception; but this por-
ton of country can geographically be classed
; with Northern Texas. Considering the
mighty springs of Western Texas fixture
of the earth, before the advent of rain in
the dawn of creation. the principle that
Western Texas was designed for dry coun-
try, cannot be refuted.

the yard, was attacked by a
large hog belonging I" Henry flem-
ing and before assistance could
reach him was struck in the hip by
one of the hogs tusks. The little
fellow then ran and succeeded in
climbing the fence from whence he
was carried by his father into the
house, when it was discovered that
a cash five inches long had been cut
to the bone in his hip. DR.. W. j.
Comfy was called who dressed the
wound and no serious results were
anticipated. But in a few hours the
wound became inlamed and painful
and continued to grow worse until
Monday night at IL 80, when the lit
tie sufferer died probably from the eff
ftcts Of the poison engcndcred by thu
angry and vicious animal. The ho.
was imm edialely driven to his own
