A Few Suggestions.

The Big Spring Paragraph offers a
few suggestions to the land board rs
follows:
81. 1t Is desirable that the policy Of
the land board be fixed and certain and
not subject to these changes and fluc.
tuations that have characterized it
heretofore, We have great many
excurslonists from the North that
come for the purpose of investing in
school lands or small ranches, who be-
come 30 discouraged under the speedy
changes In the law heretofore as to
leave the state In disgust.
80. We think II also most desirable
that an actual settler should be al
lowed to purchase as many as seven
sections of land; for no one yet has
sufficiently demonstrated the fact that
man can make living In this coun-
try on one or two sections. He should
have at least sufficient quantity for
a small ranch for stock purposes. We
believe that when farming proves
sufficiently successful In this country
that 1t can be relied upon as sole
means of subsistence, these tracts will
be Immediately divided up and sold
for agricultural purposes.
1--WE think the surveyor of county
or land district should have sufli-
cient power or authority to make sales
OF school lands under ules and
regulations of the board, without any
further trouble or annoyance to the
purchaser. Our visitors are often well
pleased with certain lands and would
purchase them, but they are only here
for a few days and when they find
that they have got to run through a
long routine OF competitive bidding
and give power OF attorney to agents
or attorneys whom they have never
seen before and then await the action
OF tho board and in all probability
fipally be disappointed, they at once
give mp all idea of investing.
Let the classification of the lands rs
contemplated in the law be at least
approximately done in all organized
counties, and then sold according to
their intrinsic worth. Let those lands
that may be at some time agricultural
remain to the actual settler, and those
that are broken and only fit for graz.
ing be sold In seven-section tracts to
actual settlers with small stocks OF
cattle and sheep.
I'VE recognize the fact that the land
bill as passed by the last legislature
has many very Objectionable features
and that the quantity OF land TO be
leased TO any one party should be
restricted In quantity as well as in To-
cation, but we believe that the rental
value should not exceed five cents per
acre.

How TO Get once.
Chleago Hevall.


There are indications that the DEM
ocrats are slowly waking up. For six
or eight weeks they have been hand
ing petitions around and iourneying to
and fro between Washington and their
homes, but they have accomplished
very little. Where vacancies have
existed few appointments have been
made, but the removals might be
counted OH the fingers OF one hand.
The reason is plain. Republican
oilice.holders will not be removed un.
less 1t can be proved that they have
been offensive partisans. Up to the
present time they have been enj Dying
themselves In the quiet possession Of
their offices while the Democrats have
been on the wrong scent. Happy Re-
publicans! Sorrowful Democrats
III the Democrats want Office let them
select the places that they would like
and then devote their time and energy
to proving that the incumbents have
been neglectful of duty and offensive
In their craftsmanship. This will give
Mr.. Cleveland vacation and make
things lively for the Republicans in
office.

ALBANY.
A Shoot of One Thousand and Fifty
Five Plover in Day.

CpbClhis
ALBANY, TEX April 27.-One of
the most exciting and successful bird
hunts ever known in this section took
place Saturday, the 25th. There were
twelve men in the hunt, six on each
side, the wager being a fine supper, to
be paid for by the losing side. Plover
being the only birds that would be al
lowed in the count, no attempt was
made to shoot any other kind. The
two sides were organized as follows:
Q. II. Hope, George Reynolds, o. S.
Bull, f. e, Conrad, Claud Richardson
aud Capt. June Peak on one side; r..
II. Pointer, j. w. Manning. ]. L..
Fisher, William Reynolds, j. II. Biggs
and Edgar Rye on the other side. The
party left Albany at S O'Clock
r. M, and returned at 7
p. M, scoring 1865 plover
Capt. Pointers side won, killing Col
birds, averaging over one hundred
birds TO the man. William Reynolds
made the largest score, killing 1853
birds. We believe that this is the
largest number of birds OF one kind
killed by the same number of men in
Ine state. In Iact, we DO not remem-
Der OF ever reading ofa larger showing
in any state.
The scene in and around j. w. Man
ning's drug store during the court was
one of the most exciting since the elec.
ton. Friends of both sides were
gathered in large crowd in front
awaiting the decision OF the commit
tee. Everything was conducted with
the best of feeling toward each other
and many joke and banter were ill.,
dulged in by the members of the party
during the supper hour We challenge
the state to produce better record.

AT five cents per acre for leases esti-

manner in which he has run the state
machine in the absence of Chief En-
gineer Ireland. Mr.. Gibbs has reason
to smile. His only act, as far as we

Wet" If the purpose Of the News is
to disgust the state with the gentle

Our Water Supply,

For weeks rain has fallen In most
bountiful supply, yet Fort Worth has
positively suffered from a scarcity Of
water. And now, with the river as
high as 1t is likely to be within six
months, when thousands OF gallons are
going TO waste that might be used to
cleanse our surcharged sewers, we are
told that we cannot get supply till the
river goes down. We have too much
to get any; when there IL less we will
have more. This kind OF paradox is
only interesting as quip, and loses
its pleasing features when its applica-
ton touches every household, and
every days delay helps blazing sun
TO turn to missma the reeking garbage
OF a helpless city.
There may be no blame attschable to
anybody. One accident after another
may be merely an unfortuitous COM
bination OF casualties. But the effect
is none the less certain, the depriva-
ton none the lees general, the proba-
BILE danger not the more remote, be-
cause the cause is unintentional. But.
although 1t may be unintentional, a
city Of 10000 inhabitants has the right
to claim that such contingency as the
entire cessation OF Its daily water shall
not be unavoidable. II the pumps can
not be trusted, new one must be add.
ed. If the river supply is uncertain,
1t must be conserved. II the natural
resource cannot be depended upon, an
artificial reservoir must supplement it.
The fire at the Missouri
Pacific hospital was warning
enough, but 1t goes unheeded,
yet any night, while the force of water
would not equal one of the old-time
hand engines of fifty years ago,
whole city full of live, progressive
people is as helplessly at the mercy of
destructive fire as the toy.built set
Element of a frontier village.
