The spirit OF conquest is innate in

military achievements, but TO the sub

BY means Of this wise principle IN the
economy of our nature, the wonderful

been made, and nowhere more than in
the state of Texas has this power Of late
years been manifested. In short

developed, gigantic commercial in

of the state should receive the

II is a great mistake that an agricui-
tural aud grazing country has no use
for factories. Texas should pay tribute
to no other section of the country
and If she expects to take high posi-

fruits of her own products, her raw
material must be consumed, in part at
least, at home. Add to our CONNER

Already the vasl resources of the state

activity ON the part of our own people
the great money currents will soon be-

tories will spring up on every eligible

there are still more victories to be

Snluinr the Prohlem.

There Is n vast deal of empty talk
about the fcnce-cutting troubles and
IL is feared that the legislature will not
escape the iniliction. The existence of
certain evils is generally recognized,
but there seems to be a dispo sition to
shirk the responsibility Of going be-
hind them in search Of a remedy. Pol
iticians pirate in glittering generalities
of that which is apparent to all, but
what Is needed now is an honest, out
spoken expression of views concerning
the antidotes to be applied. The leg
islature meets in January and its most
important work Is TO deal with this
very matter, and yet the minds
of members and people seem
TO be in perfect chaos as re-
CARDS any definite policy to be pur-
sued. The evils and their causes are
we'll known, IL liz high time to cease
discussing them and ponder over that
somewhat famous inquiry, "What are
you going TO do about 2" The real
question before the legislature is, shall
laws be enacted TO hamper and embar-
rass the pasturemen, and by rendering
it inconvenient to operate them, grad
ually destroy the pastures? or shall
the differences be compromised, and
an effort be made To harmonic the
"a Hf il.a pnI INIT /
fence factions? If the Legislature de-
velops n desire to simply make polit-
zeal record IN harmony with what
1t may deem the prevailing SEN
timent of the country, the sore will be
aggravated until II becomes chronic; If
IL is the sincere wish OF the majority
10 alleviate the evils, and a rational,
conservative and judicial policy is
adopted, but little time will he requir-
ed to eradicate the poison. The views
of Acknowledgement King, as given 20
n GAZETTE reporter, are significant
and suggestive. A positive character,
the acknowledgement does not mince
matters in public or in private CONVEX
satIon, and the wide range of his OBJ
servations, the especial study he has
given this matter, and the genuine
conservatism OF his opinions, give
them an Importance not attained by
any heretofore reflected through the
press. They may be read with profit,
rs outlining the only real solution
which has yet been suggested of this
knottyproblem, and specially are they
commended to the consideration of the
members OF the legislature.

Elections To-Molrow.

Elections will be held in number
of states tomorrow, Interest ccnters
in New York, Massachusetts and New
Jersey. The doubtful nature OF the
result In these states invests them with
prime Importance. They are TO he re-
garded as thermometers that indicate
the force OF the political current that
may blow the Democratic party into
power next year. NewYork isulways an
uncertain state, and the even balance
between the contcnding Republicans
and Democrats is easily destroyed by
an unattached vote of independent
voters who hold the balance Of power
and use IL for the advantage of which
ever party is most pleasing to their
views. Another source Of uncertainty
Is the treachcry Of Tammany to the
Democratic party. 1t is predicted the
Democrats will have = majority Of 3d.
600, but this is by no means certain
since the disaflection of the Tammnny
faction. Massachusetts politics Is in a
state of perplexing confusion, with
Butler as the issue and nobody willing
TO hazard an opinion rs TO the out
come. New Jersey is pretty certain
for the Democrats, as there are 10 war
ring factions to divide the party, and
on full vote II is fairly reliable
Democratic state. No special interest
attaches 10 Minnesota, Connecticut or
Mississippi, as the elections in those
states are only partial and the result
generally a foregoue conclusion.

our specials generally agree THAT
the receipts Of cotton AT the local mar
l,e,s throughout the state are equal in
quantity to the receipts for Il cores

veys the misleading idea that the cot
ton crop is not 50 deficient rs has been
thought. The season 50 far has been
much in advance of that last year,
and the crop has been gathered faster.
If the condition of the fields were
compared with their condition about
the first of November 1882, II would
be found that they are much cleaner
now than then. There Is probably in
the greater part Of the state very
smull proportion Of the crop remain
'mgm the hollis. Hereafter the move
iucnt TO market will he light, as COM
pared with last years season. The eff
feet of u deficient crop Will then begin
to affect prices more fayorably for the

In wasn't prohibition, or malaria, or
wool, ut all. but spiritualism,
that cooked Forakcr's goose IN Ohio
A correspondent Ia Cleveland dis
covered this new cause for Republican
defeat, and thus explains it; "The
Republican legislature, which Is now
to be superseded by n Democratic one,
enacted what Is known gs the Jen-
nings law, imposing license tax upon
considerable number Of special voca-
tions carried on in the larger cities.
Among these the so-called spiritualis-
tic mediums, who make merchandise
of their profession, aud ply their trade
for money rs clairvoyants and fortune
tellers, were required to pay an annual
license fee OF few dollars. Shortly
before the close of the canvass the
Democratic state central committee
decided to make q point against the
Republicans on this law. Accord
ingly, ingenious circulars were pre-
pared and mailed tosome a0,000lSnown
spiritualisss throughout the state,
whose addresses were quietly obtained
from the publication offices Of the va
rious spiritualistic newspapers issued
in the United States In these circu-
lars the charge was made that, in the
Jennings bill referred 10, the Republic
can party had trcspassed upon the do
main ofreligious freedom and levied a
tax upon the particular sect, thus dis
eliminating against one form of theo-
logical belief 1t was even set forth
in these precious documents that spir-
itualists living in community in Ohio
could not meet together in "A Circle"
without first having taken out license
under the Jennings law. Shortly be-
fore the election letters began to be re-
ceived by the Republican state central
committee from prominent Republic
cans throughout the state, who were
also spiritualists, stating the danger of
a complete stampede of the spiritual
lstic vote, for the reasons given; but
the chairman of the Republican com
mittee regarded the thing as so pre-
posterous that no attention was paid
to 1t. Ii now turns out that on this
false showing the spiritualists of the
state voted almost solidly for HoadIy
and against Foraker, and their NUM-
bers do not fall short of 1000 or 49,
000.n Now, If that correspondent had
wanted to exemplify this story, he
might have done SO by stating that
several thousand Republican spirits
had failed to materialize on election
day, and that those who did sought
too oflciously to interfere with other
mems spirits.
