THE IRON TRADE.
The iron trade being the barometer
OF business, the fact that in the East
the orders ana demand for steel rails,
which at present is unprecedented, Is
taken as an indication that the groat
business depression has been passed.
Some of the mills are reported 10 have
had their entire output for tho year be-
spoke for, while in the South there are
number Of new furnaces under way,
which would go to show that the usar
future Will be free from the hard times
OF the past San Atnonio Light.
SILVER CERTIFICATES.
The cancellation Of silver certificates
mas raised question as to whether
the treasury department has suthor-
lty to destroy them. A Wall street
bank president explains that they sre
Ike bank checks when paid their
life ends-hut new certificates NAV be
issued ON fresh deposits OF coin. AS
the certificates virtually stand for the
money they represent, the department
would better invite more deposits and
issue more certificates than seek to re-
tire the latter Austin Statesman.
NORTH TENAs AND THE GOVERNOR
SHIP.
1t il a fact that North Texas must
nave the next governor. Let all North
Texas join IN, and by united effort,
secure the nomination of man in
North Texas for the place. Let us lay
down all personal feeling and let

POLITICS AND PROHIBITION,
Ia the matter OF prohibition it has
been repeatedly and simultaneously
charged that its advocates were the
conglomera,ion of eli sects, creeds,
faiths and principles opposed 10 De,
mooracy. Yet no concealment ia
made of the fact that the negro vote
was an important factor in the major
tty Of the anti.prohibitionists The
Paris News thereupon asks: care
the negroes Democratic on the whisky
question end Republican on every
other question, or Is the Democratic
paper that applsuds their an,i-prohl-
bition zeal, u Republican on the
whisky question, and Democratic on
other points. Iexarkana States.

ADVICE TO LEGISLATORS.
IL was the policy OF the republic to
encourage smoli farmers, and, as far rs
possible, prevent land monopolies.
And this YVES the policy OF tho State
government until 1880, when change
occurred, which we can now cOntem-
plato only with dismay. The moral of
all this is, that men who aspire to ait
in the public counciis, ought to pre-
pafe themselves for tba duties before
them, and that men OF tslent, infor-
nation aud True merit Shpu.d aiGue be
elected to The legislature, anu the
loading State Cilioera should not only
have tho interests of tba State ~
heart, but 10 watckiul guardians of
the interests. But how are trey to
act properly when not qualified, or
negleCtiu', on Interested in tho very
schemes that they expect to turn 10
their own profit? In whatever view
we take OF the matters, they furnish
food for reflection to every Intelligent
citizen, and they exhibit TO him tho
importance of his ballot. IL the news
papers that boast so much of their en-
terprise, would devote portion of
IL to questions more worthy than
those tnst III present engage their at
tentiop, they would find wider aud
moro useful field for their lsbors.

CHEAP MONEY.
During tho past % years millions of
dollars, mostly OF Eastern capital,
have been Invested in loans on farm
lands in the west. Tho material pros
perity OF Iowa, Nebraska, Kansas,
Minnesota and Dakota is due not
merely 10 tho thrils and energy OF
their citizens, but to the abundant
means placed at their disposal for tho
development Of their natural resour-
COS. Private individuals, banks and
tho most conservative corporations
have found them, as n rule, satisSac-
tory Investments. Tho interest is
promptly paid and the principal when
due. AZ q consequence the rate OF In
torest has steadily fallen, aud money
can readily be Obtained IN that coun-
try at from six to eight pew cent. Its
credit has been established. We saw
letter not long aimee from IN East
ern capitalist from which we quote
tho following: al have invested
largely IN these mortgages for l3years,
and have never waited y day for either
principal or interest. consider them
