To the Editor OF the Gazette.
Two propositions recently men
toned in THB GAZETTE meet the
hearty concurrence Of the citizens Of
Parker county. The first is TO form
new county out OF portion Of Tom
Green, to be called Loving county,
In honor OF the lamented Oliver Low
ing, who was In 1867 murdered in the
territory 10 be embraced in the new
county. Mr. Loving was at the time
of his death q citizen Of this county,
and he and his good wife, who died
IN September last, sleep side by side
In our city cemetery now. There
Is not citizen Of Parker
county, and l might safely say, of
Northwest Texas, who knew Mr.. Low
ing who would not feel gratlfied and
honored to have such q memorial
erected 10 his name. We do we'll to
honor our pioneers, esp, cially when
they were good men and great In every
noble quality Of the human heart. He
was generous to fault and many war
widows, even now, can rise up and
call him blest. II would be q most
proper thing to do, to name county
In the great state of Texas for this
good man.
The second thing alluded to above Ia
the consideration or rather the pro-
posed consideration of Isaac w. Stew
ems Of this place for United States die
trict attorney. Mr.. Stew
ems was for several years pros
ecuting attorney IN thiE county and
showed himself fitted in every way for

TO the Editor OF the Gazo te.
With the present pooling" arrange
ment the presence of the Gulf Colo
RADIO & Santa Zee railroad Is less a help
to Fort Worth than If it were part
of the Gould combination. If it we're
owned by this company, no effort
would be made to divert business
from its natural channel by
making concessions TO the small sta
lions, and making vexatious aud ex-
pensive eXactlous at the natural com
mercial center, such as requiring the
shipper of cotton TO reinaure in favor
Of the railroad, before bill of lading Ii
given, after delivery IL made to the
compress platform, which constitutes
delivery anywhere in the state except
Fort Worth
II cannot be doubted that we are
now Ia much worse fix than II WE
had never paid a heavy money
and land subsidy to gel
competition. The Gulf Colorado 1
Santa Fe railroad did not contract I,
wage war on the Gould system. but
consider this road IL be guilty of ranl
breach Of faith when II makes a cheap
er rate from Dallas, AlvRTado ani
Cleburne than from Fort Worth. Gu
citizens felt kindly to the road, aldinl
it in many ways and certainly neve
dreamed of such thrust as has beer

Railroad managers are not wise In S
utterly ignoring the rights OF com
munity. Such measures may result il
the roads getting little more, or less
than justice when the legislative han

Pork Raising.

A large number of people have come to
think that without corn there can be no
pork, says the Live Stock Journal. This
was an erroneous conclusion. Good pork
can be made on wheat, barley, rye or peas.
1t has been demonstrated in the past year.
The shoat can be grown on alfalfa, and the
SOW can be Wintered and even fattened on
hay. The public is always slow to adopt
new things. Corn had been fed to hogs
in the days of Moses, and the descendants
of the old patriarchs, down through all of
the ages, had been thinking there could be
no honey without clover and nc pork with
out corn. The alfalfa plant as of recent
adoption in the Western Hemisphere, and
the old fogies of the present day we're
born before it was known, and as
their daddies had never used it, and
Horace Greeley had said nothing about it
in his great book of "What I Know About
Farming" they we're loath to believe that
a hog would eat hay and grow fat. Never
theless he will do it, or at least he will
grow to fair proportions-grow thrifty and
solid with no other food. But to bring
his flesh to perfection, it is better he
should have a moiety Of grain-a trife of
fat producing food a few weeks before he
goes to the slaughter. This necessarily
need not be corn, it may be barley, rye or
peas. And we claim that the latter is
fully equal, If not superior. to the great
universal hog food of the West.

MIR. Randall's Methods.

"Sam Randall is one Of the few public
men who come in here" remarked q
Treasury official recently, who never take
a seat while they are in tie building.
When Mr.. Randall has any requests to
make in the way Of asking an appoint
ment or the consideration of any business
he always stands up, though he takes par
ticular pains to have the person addressed
sitting down. Mr.. Randall studies into
the causes and effects Of everything, and
it is this that makes him so successful as q
politician. He takes advantage Of every
point, and he has found that he has often got
promises out of officials by standing up
that he would not have secured If he sat
down and entered into q social converse
ton with them"
Mr.. Randall, it is said, is q student OF
Vidocq, who always impressed upon his
officers the inn ortance of standing up
when they desired to obtain confessions
or admissions from their prisoners. This
is one of the principles on which the Sc
cret Service of The Postofice Department
is managed, and explains why nearly all
the persons arrested by Fostofice In
spectors confess their guilt.

PUBLIC SCHOOL WANTED.
"sSeveraI Parents" Who Reside

caGiOnaI FacIIities Afforded Their
Offerings There.


PROSPECT MOUNTAIN, May Z. 1885.
EDITOR SENTINEL; 1t does not appear
to be much the subject Of thought during
the present dull times that something
more could be done towards prospecting
the small mines of the district if school
facilities we're offered to families who wonld
live up here in the mountains. You know,
sir, that Of all the young unmarried
miners that formerly worked on Ruby
Hill, two-thirds have left for other camps,
but most of the married men have re-
NAMED. Many Of these would move their
families up to this neighborhood but for
the fact that their children would be de-
prived OF educational advantages. There
are now resident within q radius OF a hall
mile of the Dnnderberg mine a number OF
families whose children, under the age OF
Is years, number about 90. and Is of these
are Of an age fit for school and
need the advantage that is allowed
young folks in Eureka and Ruby Hill, but
as they reside with their parents two
miles or farther distant from either place
they are obliged to grow up in ignorance
instead Of having the means Of iustruc-
ton placed at their disposal.
IL is q matter OF fact that other families
would remove to this neighborhood but
that in 20 doing their children would be
deprived of educational advantages. We
would take it a great favor if the SENTINEL
would assist us in this matter, and we re-
specially petition the School Trustees OF
Eureka county TO grant US the same privi-
leges that are usually accorded under sim
liar necessities. Yours truly,
SEVERAL PARENTS.

MMIGRATION.
Some Potent Reasons why IL
Should be Discouraged at Pres

Some Potent Reasons why IL
Should be Discouraged at Pres
ent.
There Is every reason why immigration
to this country at the present time should
be strongly discouraged. Great depression
exists in nearly all industries in the
United States, and foreigners who come
here to engage as wage laborers will find
the prospect before them very gloomy.
Unless they have means sufficient to estab-
lish o business for themselves, they had
better remain at home for the present and
not tempt fortune in this country. 1t was
said in the United States Senate q few
weeks ago, with bitter truth, that the con-
dition Of the country presents an astound-
ing psradox-on the one hand the farmers
unable to sell their products, and on the
other thousands suffering for food; crowds
of hungry beggars in every city, while
| corn is burned for fuel on the plains of
Nebraska and wheat fed to hogs in the val
leys Of Kansas; warehouses loaded with
unstable clothing and vast num-
bers OF ill-clad people suffering from cold.
1t is estimated that there are 200 900 wage
laborers in this country eager for work and
unable to get it, and, with the women and
children dependent upon them, these men
represent q population Of LOCO, 900 people
living from day to day in actual need. To
swell this class with additions from abroad
would only be a cruelty to both. n 4 y
1t will only retard the recovery from the
| present depression to increase the burden
of a helpless and dependent population,
and people who rely on their labor for
support should understand that, in COM
ing to the United States at this time,
they must face a gloomy prospect. II
Secretary Bayard would give official sane
ton TO such q statement and cause IL to
be circulated in the principal centers OF
immigration, it might save many would-be
emigrants from being deceived by false
hopes, as well as protect the laboring
classes of this country from disastrous
competition. There are many other rea-
sons why the flow of immigration might
be stopped for the present. It would give
time to assimilate the large foreign ele-
ment already here, and make 1t possible
that the industrial system of the country
would be adjusted with some hope of stable
prosperity in the future. A continued
flow Of immigration at this time can only
serve to make a bad matter worse.
