To the Dallas Morning News:
In your issue of the 10Th inst. you give
a text from st. Paul aud publish SER
mon on the soliciting agents for the
drought counties, "Knowledge puffeth up
but charity edlheth." "The wisdom OF
the assertion you say, ais keenly an.

you think that "lump or two t knowl-

distressed fellow creatures. Nero

presence of this unfortunate calamity
But every dog has bis day. This cannot
go ON forever. You have blasted the
hopes of many an anxious waiting heart
and the curse of many hungry man will
come upon your guilty head. But for
you, and the old stale clam which rave
you birth from the coast, there would be To-
day thousands If dollars for distribution
throughout this desolate region. You
have maliciously pushed back the hand of
charity when II was stretched out TO re.

Mr. Jay Gould has been interviewed
again. A few weeks ago (so the Dallas
papers say "Gatb," the well.known
newspaper correspondent, asked Mr..
Gould (which is destioed to be the
leading city In Texas2" and It is related
the great fnancler answered, "Dallas."
There has been rejoicing at Dallas ever
since, and Fort Worth goes on building
railroads. The last interviewer who
tackled Mr. Gould asked for an explana-
tlon OF the furry that so excited and, In
fact, caused something like panic on
Wall street last week. The railroad mag
nate had an opinion and gave 1t as read
lily and oheerily as he is said to have an
swered "Gath.n "The Wallstreet panic, "
says Mr.. Gould, twas due TO the ancer-
tainly and uneasy feeling created by the
fact that the Interstate commerce bill is
pending in congress. 1t seems to me-"
he continued, "that this bill is the chief
cause of the high rate of money. IL has
aroused great deal Of distrust every
where, for certainly lenders would hardly
know where they stood II the bill should
become a law, and there seems to be
great danger that 1t will pass" and a
great deal more to the same effect. The
interstate commerce bill affects two
classes of people, one not so numerous
as the other One class Is the men who
own the railroads and the other Is the
general public, the pe1ple-who have to
travel on the railroads and pay railroad
freight bills, Every man helps to pay
these bills, whether he is the merchant
who sells the articles hauled over the
roads or the consumer who buys from
the merchant, Manipulation of stocks
has been Mr.. Gould's chief industry for
many years He was "bulpi when it
came to giving an opinion of Dallas. He
is "bear" in his representation Of the
interstate commerce bill 1t is alto.
gether question of whose OK Cor bull)
Is gored. The two interviews deserve to
be printed side by side. For perspicuity,
acumen and trankness 1t is hard to decide
between them. People in Texas who are
acquainted with the cities of the state and
their growth say Mr.. Gould isn't as well
posted about Texas as man ought to be
who has such large interests in the state.
Possibly Mr. Gould had an object in
"bulling" Dallas stock. People on Wall
street say Mr.. Gould's explanation of the
financial furry is thousand miles wide
Of the mark. 1t is pretty certain the hun
dred millionaire had an Object In "bear-
ing" interstate commerce bill stock.

saw. Il is only railroad centers that are
great distributing points or towns where
manufacturing industries cut figure,
that can defy the natural order OF things
which is approximately co-equal devel-
opment Of town and country. The town
depends upon the farmer, and II is the
farmer who holds these country lands
that have remained nearly stationary in
value dur ny the year. If there is any les
son or Importance to be drawn from the
figures, II is that we are not making
enough effort to induce the right kind OF
immgration-the man with the hoe, who
will occupy the lands outside the cities
and towns. For severs' years there was
such an influx Of immigrants that local
efforts to induce immigration have been
relaxed Up to couple, or at least a
few years ago, nearly every county in the
state had It's immigration bureau or So
ciety working all the time TO bring in
new people Agents were sent abroad,
prospecting excursions gotten up, and
the older states literally flooded with in
formation concerning the advantages Of
Texas. These means were wonderfully
potent and the people came, The imml-
grafton boom was so great that our peo-
pie seem 10 have reached the conclusion
that it would keep up all the time with
out further effort. This is fallacious
supposltion, as the results prove. We
have lots Of room in Texas yet, ana THE
GAZETTE counsels intelligent, systematic
effort 10 every community to induce an
Industrious, thrifty class of immigrants
who will become land tlllers and owners,
and such Legislation as will supplement
these efforts.

GEN. HARDING, so well known as the
owner of Belle Meade, one Of the finest
stock farms in this country, was laid IN the
tomb of his ancestors near Nashville, on
Friday last. Among the three floral
tributes which lay on the coffin was one
in which was imbedded the words, "Old
Master" And when with bowed heads
the mourners passed out, twelve negro
men, born on the place, several whose
heads were white as snow, bore the re-
mains of their master of four score years
to the last resting place. TO many of
this generation this was novel spectacle,
and It is not probable that an other such
will ever be Witnessed. All that pertains
to the former relation will ere long be
among the almost forgotten customs
Of the past.

Patti by holding out the hope that the

WHEN men went out of the state to
solicit aid in behalf of drought sufferers,
newspapers and individuals protested
that such efforts would ipjure all
Texas, as the impression would be
created that all the state had suf-
fered from the drought. So with
the effect of the lease law in de-
terring men from coming to Texas in
search OF homes. The mere existence of
such law creates and perpetuates the
popular belief that Texas Is simply a
cattle range and such law is to secure a
revenue from land otherwise valueless
This Is the argument OF men in the state
who favor the lease, and how much
wider must be such belief In other states?
The evil that has been wrought by the
lease law cannot be computed. 1t is the
product OF ignorance, prejudice and
selashness-ignorance OF the west,
prejudice against cattle raisers aud
selhshness in large land owners and
cattle syndicates. The cattle syndlcates
wanted the lease law, East Texas was
made to believe that the syndlcates
wanted free grass, and this law is legal
tragedy Of errors with the big land
owners in the part of "heavY villain. !"
The lease law is an infamous wrong to
West Texas, detrlment to the whole
state and should be repealed

TIE TAx HALUES FLaURES.

Taxable values Ia Texas, as reported
and on file at the comptroller's office in
Austin, show an increase for the current
year ending September 80, of so ,5l3 900.
OF this sum $4,000 600 is credited 10
town lots and railroads; horses and
mules, increase, 100000, leaving the in.
crease in value of lands only 81 500, 900
The value of cattle and sheep decreased
IN round numbers, 100000 The
figures furnish food for thought. They
show remarkable increase, compare
lively, in town property and railroads,
but such slight increase in lands as TO
amount, virtually, to hardly any increase
at all. II must be remembered that all
urban holding of lands are included in
these 0gures-not only the wild, un-
cultivated and uDimproved lands, but
those that have been brought under the
plow as we'll. The conclusion is irreslss-
ible that the assessors have not done
their work as well in the country as they
have in the towns, or that the country Is
not keeping pace with the towns. 1t is
probable the latter theory is the most
tenable. Under the impetus Of railroad
extensions numerous new towns were
planted during the year, and some of those
have grown very rapidly. All the older
towns appear to have grown steadily and
the larger cities show very heavy in
crease of values. In almost every Texas
town dirt Is a good Investment, and In a
city like Fort Worth 1t Is bonanza for
the man who can afford to wait, He can
count on compound interest every year on
his Investment, Returning TO rural hold
ings, 1t is probable that a partial explana
ton OF the slight increase will be found
In the fact that the influx Of immigration
was not as great during the year az dur
Ing the previous twelve months. Unfor-
tunately there are no meaps OF estimat-
Ing the per cent. OF immigration during
any given period, The statistics cellated

ing put in cultivation the values
of lands rise. A hundred acres
put under fence and broken by the
pillow shows up better on the assessors
books than the wild, unenclosed hundred

But granting that for one year the country
has not kept pace with the towns, there
is no occasion for apprehension in the
fact. Such a state Of affairs Is not with
out precedent, and the balance is sure to
be restored. The country is all right,
