GEN. MENTIONS REPORT
CONCERNING COAST DEFENses.
Ia Time of Peace Prepare for War--W hat
Would Happen to las If Suddenly
Involved - Estimated Cost
of Defenses, Etc, Etc.

WAsHINGroN, Nov. 3.-Gen. John
Newton has submitted his annua, report
on coast expenses. lie earnestly urges
that the harbors OF our principal sea-
ports be made impregnable to attack by
the addition OF guns of heavy calibre
and other appliances known to modern
warfare. Past events, he says. by no
means justify the assertions made that
our cotton and grain have become so
necessary to the nations that they could
not engage in war with us for short
period without the interruption of their
supply of these articles. 1t seems to be
forgotten that descent upon our coast
10 hold our unprotected cities under the
guns Of hostile fleets would consume
but few mouths, and in the
meantime cotton and grain i'm
sufficient quantities might be obtained
elsewhere. The modern system is to
make war sudden, sharp and decisive,
and to make the beaten party pay the
expenses. Tho board OF en-
quirers for the cost of for
tidcations has prepared an approximate
estimate of the cost of Qualifications, in
GLIDING ornaments of modern heavy
guns and ritled mortars for Portland,
Boston, New York, Philadelphia, Balti-
more, Hampton Roads, New Orleans
and San Francisco, and another esti-
mate, likewise approximate, for the pre-
liminary work, earth and masonry, with
out amor, machinery and guns to serve
as emplacements for guns. The total
estimate, including ornaments, is $685.
4SS,OOO. The estimate for emplacement
guns, excluding armOr guns and ma
chinery, is $l0,3SS,000. These estimates
have been made with care, and it is be-
lieved Notifications, including
guns, in all harbors on the
coast of sufficient importance
TO tempt the onemy can he prepared at

lowing estimates are required TOR 1896

The Convention.


The Democratic state convention
concluded its labors yesterday and ad-
journed. On the whole it may be
classed as sort of experience meeting,
devoted rather to discussion of the
principles of Democracy than the fer
nation of any special line of policy.
And yet it was not without its prac-
teal bearings, significant Of a radical
revolution in the practices of the par
ty, and more emphatic assertion of
its principles. A notable feature of
the meeting has been the unanimity
and enthusiasm of the sentiment in
favor of an aggressive fight for
tariff reform. Indeed, it may be
said that the Democracy of
Texas has bound itself up in
that issue with withes of steel, neither
to be severed or slackened. Every
speech delivered upon the floor had
tariff reform for its sequel, and every
action of the convention was step
stone to the ark of the covenant of
the Democratic faith-a tariff for rev.
enue only. So far As the Texas Democ-
racy is concerned, the bridges behind
this issue have been burned, and the
advance has been ordered. Whoever
will not join in the march must be
kicked ignobly to the rear. The time
has forever assed when the panty shall
sacrifice its interests untying the mill.
stones fastened about its neck by those
nurtured within its bosom.
The election of delegates at large
aroused no little interest, and the ri
valry between the friends of the differ.
ent candidates was at times intense
and spirited. The result may be re
garded with complacency, as it would
had it been different. Texas will sent
a delegation to Chicago, not only il
the delegates at large, but in the rep
resentatives of the different districts
which will do honor unto the Empir,
state of the Union, and mass an infiu
. ence which will be felt in the supreme
+ council of the Democratic, party.
THE GAZETTE bids the representa-
tives of the Democratic party good
5 bye, indulging~the hope that the.
have found it good to be assembled il
3 the Queen City of the Northwest, an
that as time passes by they may fin
1 1t pleasant and profitable to honor u
J. with their presence again.

Questions for The Gazette to Answer

Is II right for ~ poor man or small farmer
owning not more thnn 100 acres OF land and
owning no cattle, to be compelled 10 fence
aga nst the cattle OF the rich man who owns
no land but thousands Of cattle?
Was not free gr;,ss that caused all the
fence-cu.tlng recently :--Bowie Free Press.
The first question Is the interrogatory
OF lease man, who wishes to perpetu-
ate the lease system. If that system
is perpetuated there will be no "poor
men with 100 acres" but great past ures
all over the untitled sections of the
Northwest. The operations of free
grass answer the question. Farmers
going onto what was once purely a
range, open very small farms, the cost
OF fencing which Is light, because they
have only themselves and children to
work in the field. In the very section
in which Bowie is situated, men,
women and children may lie seen
ploughing in small fields, while the
cattle Craze out on the open range.
AS the farmers means increase he is
better able to fence the additional
land that he brings under the domin-
ion of the hoe. But suppose he
"bucked right up against" the wire
fence with his little 100 acres, how
would he subsist without free range
II Is the history of even Dallas
county that several years were re.
qulred to "make the farm pay" Sup
pose the greater part of Dallas county
had been leased, would 1t have been 80
populous and rich to-day? What
would Bowie he without the small
farms around II? Suppose 1t were sur
rounded with great leased baronies
what would be Its hopes? Let the
Free Press answer. THE GAZETTE an.
swers yes 70 the first question, because
when q JeW farmers invade the range
"the rich men who own no land but
thousands Of cattle" gathers them to-
gether and goes West-snd this has
been the history Of all Texas.
The Bowie paper is unfortunate I'm

THE free-grass question Is being agitated
all over the state, and will be raised 10 u
white heat by the time the convention meets
In Notwithstanding Democrat.
Didn't THE 9AzETrE hear SOME one say
free grass was not an issue-that the people
had nothing to do with the disposition OF
public lauds-that this was purely matter
OF legis alive detail: Didn't wes-Fort
Worth Gazette.
Noyou didn't. Il was said that a general
herd law was not an issue. That though such
a law was a certainty OF the future very little
II any OF the state was ready for 1t. But 1t
has never been said that u disposition of the
public lands was not state issue. II will
always be an Issue till they are all disposed
OF But the above is In keeping with THE
GAzErrs's course In trying to confuse the
public by arguing herd law. The people
will not vote TO turn over all the school lands
free to the stock interests.-Cieburne Chroni-
Gle.
Senator Gibbs himself told THE GA
zETTE this was a matter of Legislative
detail merely. THE GAZETTE does
not confuse the people. There Is no
middle ground; no man can straddle a
wire fence. The destruction of free
grass is herd law. The question is a
herd law or free grass.
