good trade in progress, and orders are coming in

in their character, more especially for manufact-
ured goods is there a southern demand. From
an extreme southern commercial center an order
was received yesterday for carload of
pumps The revival of business in the South
promises we'll for Indiana if our merchants and
manufacturers are on the alert. This view of
the Southern situation is borne out by the re-
views now being printed of trade at all metro
politan centers in the South for the year ending

year is much better than the realization for the
last when the cotton crop was poor and the price
low. and the sugar crop nearly as profitless. IL
now looks for 1000, 900 bales of cotton, 800 0J0
sacks OF rice, and large crop of sugar per acre
over decreased acreage-all raised with greater
economy of wages and processes than ever be-
fore. During the past year the clearings at
New Orleans fell off 20 per cent and the foreign
trade to some extent At Charleston. S. c.. the
foreign trade increased. the Wholesale trade has
reached 100000 900. and the crop prospects are
regarded as good for everything except sea-
island cotton, which was devastated by the cy-
clone. The corn crop of South Carolina is esti-
mated at 1IOO0,0 600 bushels, the largest ever
known Montgomery. Ala, reports gain for
the county of 81 100000 in taxable property dur
ing the year, and that 500, 900 has been expend
ed In new oulldings-a good deal for Southern

On TO Glen Rose.

A gentleman from Mineral Wells
writes the Herald that the Northwest
ern rail- Dad from Dallas must be built
to that town We cannot afford to
lose the commerce OF the Wells. We
must build to that point, even II we
have to run parallel with and compete
with the Texas IL Pacific Dallas
Times.
THE GAZETTE would regret to see its
friends ut Mineral Wells left out in
the cold by "the Northwestern. AS
their road" is practically Fort
Worth enterprise, we insist that, after
crossing the Fort Worth q Den
yer at Bowie and Deca-
tur, and running into Baylor
county through Jack and Young
counties, the Northwestern" shall
back into Stephens county and thence
to Mineral Wells in Palo Pinto, and
on to Glen Rose in the south. There
Is nothing like "a belt line" On to
Mineral Wells and Glen Rose from
Dallas via Montague and Baylor
counties

Yes Or No.
Waco Day.

The Day wants to see square fight
on the whisky question, if the Prohi-
bitionists can rally following large
enough to make it interesting. There
ought to be no side issues, such as OPP
position to so-called sumptuary legis-
lation, or the question whether pro-
hibition actually prohibits. What
ever is for the general welfare of the
people is a legitimate object of legis.
lation, and as no law over suppressed
the ottense at which it Is aimed, the
second argument will not hold. The
Prohibitionists are in earnest, and
their opponents ought to meet them
on the main issue, and let the people
decide on the actual merits of the case.

Prohibition and Democracy.


The Prohibition party will be the
element that dissolves Democratic
solidity. PTohihitionists will not go
to the Republicans, but there are signs
OF split-up, all the same. The late
Prohibition convention at Dallass was
composed of strong representatives,
mostly OF previous Democratic belief.
The old-time Democrats who have
never sought office, but stuck to their
faith because they felt its truth, are
free in their expressions of belief that
prohibition will probably be the con-
trolling issue OF the next campaign.
AS polite measure the Demo.
Gratis lost their opportunity
when the Democratic legislature
refused to submit "a prohibition amend
ment to the vote of the people. Had
this been done the prohibition issue
would have been eliminated from the
next State campaign. IL ia hardly
suppot able that a prohibition amend
ment would have carried this year but
the people now consider 1t q grievance
That their legislature should refuse to
submit TO popular vote matter
about which so many are deeply con.
cerned. When the public has a griey.
ance it Is pretty sure to grow and the
Frohibitionists will not be wanting in
giving 1t cultivation. Thus party
politics in Texas will have to encoun-
Ter difficulties with results that no
prophet can foretell The Democratic
party cannot pronounce against pro.
hibition and win.
