MCCuNE, Kansas.
Dear NeWS and Citizen:
AS many of my friends in Lamoille
county wish me to give them an idea
OF 1eXas L send these lines. l land
ed at Galveston the 18th of October,
When L took the train for San Anto-
MO, which is 280 miles nearly west.
The first IS miles is used for grazing,
as the land will not raise cotton or
corn to make it profitable. Then we
strike the Colorado river, where crops
were aoundant,-cotton crop heavy.
About 20 miles further on is a Ger
man settlement, where there is about |
a t~wo-thirds crop of cotton crop of
corn generally good all over Texas,
but the people do not raise but small
quantities of corr or wheat. It is
either cotton or stock raising. After
leaving the Colorado river we strike
the counties where the drouth has
made such havoc. The vast prairie
from the Colorado TO San Antonio is
growing into a vast wilderness, and
it will be quite a job to clear off the
timber. San Antonio is a lovely
place and seems more like our north
ern cities than any place l have visit
ed. [ went to Larado on the Rio
Grande about $50 miles south. /
stopped at Catula, Las Sail county,
which is n of the new towns that
has grown up in two years, and has
about 1900 inhabitants,-one-half
Mexicans. The county is devoted to
stock raising for hundreds of miles.
People in Texas are perfectly depend
ent upon their neighbors. They
raise but very little to cat except
their meat, and that is very poor.
Larado is the terminus of the Rio
Grande river, and has about 1000 in
habitants, mostly Mexicans. All up
and down here, from San Antonio to
the Rio Grande, are the large stock
ranches, and not a particle of green
on cactus, such as you have for plants,
and a bush they call blackberry. The
cattle are dying now, and a herder
told me that hundreds of thousands
must die this winter. The cattle are
too poor to sell, and they have waited
so long for rain that it is too late now,
they think. l left San Antonio and
went to Fort Worth, which is 400
north. In this vicinity the
look very much better. This
place has about $4,000 inhabitants.
I took the train for Michita Falls. On
this road they raise considerable corn
and wheat and some cotton. Wichi-
ia is the terminus of the railroad and
supported by the ranchmen, and is
20 miles of the Apache and
Indians.
Perhaps you would like TO know
what L think of Texas. 1t has one
If the most lovely climates in the
world. The people of Texas are a
lice class of people, frank, open and
yentlemanly, and a class | would like
live by, with the exception of the
Mexicans, and they are only in some
ocalities. One never needs to get
nto trouble if they mind their own
business and keep out of gambling
louses, which are the of all the
hooting, and where the most Of it is
lone. The reason l did not locate in
Texas is because the jewelry business

Antonio, and they carry a large stock

MeSSTS. EdjtOrS:-
Our four months drouth has come
to a close, and we are blest with CO.
pious rains, which makes all things
Took like spring again. Since the rain
commenced we have improved the
time by planting our fall crops, such
as rye, barley, oats and garden veg
etables, which are looking fine. Cot
ton has taken a new growth and is in
full bloom again, and if the frost is
as late as most of the falls we will
make a good top crop of cotton.
Stock is very cheap this fall, but in
good condition. Cows sell at 500,
with calf by their side, horses from
$25 to SIS, sheep at 81 to 81. Goats
are in better demand than sheep. AS
it is still %showering we will have fine
winter grass, and stock will go up in
price. The thermometer still goes
up to 90o in the shade at noon, but
the nights are cool and nice.
Yours respectfully:

We read and hear much said of the
hard times we are to experience by
reason of q change in the national
administration. Such talk is unwise
and no true citizen or true Republican
will indulge in it. We have an inter-
est in common in this country, and
Grover Cleveland, if he lives, is to be
our next President. Let US hope that
his administration may be wise and
c~ommendable and that prosperity may
be continued. 1t is foolish to predict
disaster, for nothing is gained by
it. Cleveland has already shown that
he is large enough for Hendricks, and
we trust his nerve may remain good.
Let US keep an honest recount with
him and be ready to tender our ac-
acknowledgements if, at the end of his
service, the balance falls on his side.

Governor Cleveland is reported as
saying that he would very much like
to know Mr.. Blaine.
The Columbus, S. c., Register in
dignantly demands "Why should we
guarantee to the colored mar a polit-
ical right?"
The Herald calls upon the people
to go south and make homes, but an
Alabama Democratic orator shouts,
"'the carpet-bagger must CO."
1t must give the Democratic office
seeker a chill something like inserting
an icicle down his back to feel that
there is a possibility that Governor
Cleveland will not turn the Republi-
cans out.
Governor Cleveland informs the
colored people that their rights will be
protected when he becomes President.
Will he see that there are free cleo
tons and fair counts in the Southern
States?
Mr. st. John tells a reporter that
he went into the prohibition campaign
''for a principle" He lies. He went
in for $4,000, and it is some conso-

been paid in full. We think he'll

declares that Republicans there favor
Mr.. Blaine as Don Cameron's success

Blaine is not a citizen of P~ennsylva-

announced that they do not want any

The close vote of Connecticut re-
calls various stories of close elections,
the most interesting being that of
1851, which is told by a correspond

There was no election of State Off
GERS, and the Legislature was evenly
divided between the Wings and Dem
Ocrats, with three Free 6oilers, who
held the balance of power. Two of
these had been Wings, and Foster,
the Wing candidate for Governor, was

his message and had a special engine
all fired up to take him to Hartford to
deliver it. But the Free-Soilers had

1t looks very much as if President
elect Cleveland proposed to discharge
the duties of his office without fear or
favor. Hendricks called on him re-
Gently with the evident purpose of
giving him some advice and telling
him about how the furniture should be
arranged. 1t is said that he exhibit
tied such an air of dictation that
Cleveland informed him that he was

THE DEMOCRATIC Boss IN VERMONT.
Three men conducted the Office work
in the Cleveland campaign. They were
Senators German and Jonas and B. Il.
Smalley of Burlington, Vermont. AS a
matter of curiosity, it may be said that
Smalley is a Observation-Disclosures, clerk
of the district and circuit courts. Cor
man is Senator and wants nothing but
the patronage of Maryland. Jonas goes
out of the Senate in March. He is al
ready an applicant, through his friends
for the poStmaster-generalShip. Smalley
remains to be provided for. His present
Office pays hardly ANYTHING. First of all
he will probably ask that Edward j.
Phelps, the Well-known Burlington law
yer and wit, be given the mission t.
Italy, which since the time of George p.
Marsh Vermont has claimed as a sort of
birthright. Mr.. Tilden promised the
place to Mr.. Phelps, and Mr.. Cleveland
will be asked to send to the Senate the
somewhat deferred appointment. For
himself it is not known what Mr.. Small
ley desires. He a have the nice plum
of h ecOllectOrShip at Burlington with its

The approach of Thanksgiving will
make the following historical allusion
regarding its early observance of spec
ial interest -
The first New England thanksgiving
was celebrated by the Pilgrims of Ply
mouth at the ingathering of their first
harvest in the autumn of 1921. Its re-
cord is preserved in a letter of Edward
Winslow, sent home to England the
following winter. By order of the gov
ernor, a party of four went out to shoot
wild turkeys. and secured a bOuntiful
supply. Others brought sea fish and
duck, and a festival was continued for a
week, with out-Of-door sports and trials
of arms. 1t is supposed they hadin mind
the Jewish Feast of Tabernacles, which
was in October-a feast at ingathering,
lasting seven days. Ninety Indians,
with the great chief NassasOit, came
and joined in the festive scene, bringing
five deer to the common entertainment.
The first autumnal thanksgiving Off
cially appointed by the colony of Massa-
chusetts Bay was on November Is, 1868.
This was another colony from that of
Plymouth and was founded a few years
later at Salem in 1926 and at Boston in
1880. The festival, however, vas not of
regular annual occurrence anywhere till
amuch later period. 1t gradually grew
in the affections of New England peO-
pie, till it became an established ObServ-
ance which has now become national.
