A BROKEN MACHINE.

THE present administration has given
to the general public an idea of indie
pendence relative to the occupation Of
Offices and appointments to position
that for rs years before has not been
known. Heretofore the machine has
been omnipotent. Its DEGREES have been
sutocrstlc and the results, as might
have been expected have been Injurious
to the people at large. Rebelling against
such corrupt political manipulation In
the autumn Of last year the people arose
In their might, placed pure men in
power and have since said invariably
to the machine in contradistinction
from the people that wire pulling and
party management had played its part,
hut that the time had arrived for the
curtain to drop and the popular chorus
TO assume new and additional import
ance.
Even now In Texas the machine Is at
tempting TO create booms for certain
candidates, long before the day of cleo
ton. In National politics the same
thing is seen by the effort to bring
LOGAN prominently before the country
as a presidential candidate in 1883. In
fact, and in short, the politicians here
and elsewhere are making their states
even now and expect popular sentiment
to fall into line.
These political managers and whip.
pers in must learn a lesson from re-
cent events. A machine In cotton, oil
iron or wooden mill is a necessary fea
ture. Hundreds, thousands may draw
daily sustenanoe from the same,.b but II
politics the machine is a thing OF the
past. A new era of independence and
popular will has come upo us through
the success of, and the recent practices
of the Democracy, and those manipula
tors only will be wise who will consul
and wait for an expression of popula
preference hereafter.

CROPS.
Collin County

MCKINNEY, June To- Special. -
Messrs. Harrison & Co., dealers in grain
and men who give such matters close
attention, say that the present wheat
and oat crop will be the finest ever
harvested in Collin County Wheat will
ell be harvested by the last of this
week. Our threshing begins early In
tho next. From careful inspection bv
our largest wheat growers tho crop Is
yariously estimated to yield from 20 10
30 bushels per acre. An average of 20
bushels per acre will give Collin County
100000 bushels. The oat crop Is too
large to even estimate correctly. Corn
continues to do well-about made. An
other small rain In two weeks will in
sure 80 bushels per acre. Cotton at
present Is under a cloud, though the
planters are probably worse scared
than hurt. The plant is putting out
new leaves ana yet promises an average
crop.

Waxahaohie Makes Her final Offer to
Fort Worth.

WAxAHACHIE, June l6. - Especial -
The final mass meeting in behalf of the
projected Fort Worth q Waxshachie
Railroad was held at the courthouse to-
night and was largely attended and full
of enthusiasm. A number OF speeches
were delivered by prominent citizens
and the grand total of subscriptions
reached $4,000. Messrs. j. w. Ferris,
N. A. Mcmillan and l.. b. Templeton
were appointed committee to visit
Fort Worth on Thursday and tender
the $4,000 subscribed as the full cash
bonus Waxahachie will give to secure
the road. Citizens think this an ex-
ceedingly liberal sum to donate to the
company when the relative benefits to
the two towns are considered. If the
company does not see fit to accept the
amount rendered railroad negotiations
between Waxahsohie and Fort Worth
can be considered ended, as this com.
munlty will not donate the $4,000 cash
demanded by the Fort Worth manage
mant.
