the inroads Of THE GAZETTE and its rapid
strides to place with the leading jour
nails Of the south and West, is in discuss
ing THE GAZETTE as proposition sepa-
rate and apart from the people who own
it, from the people who patronize II, from
the town in which It Is printed A glimpse
OF the true situation and Of the firm foun-
dalton on which Tux GAZETTE stands
and is being reared into great newspa.
per Is caught by the Examiner when it
says:
\ There is one thing that can be said truihfully
Of THE GAZETTE. II has very flnc distributing
I facilities. Il has mail trains out In every direc
I tlon In the morning, while the schedules send
all the trains through Waco at noon.
This same truth is apparenttot those who
would build up great journals in other
towns by sending special trains 60 catch
the distributing facilities OF Fort Worth.
If the Examiner and others, who may
wish to amuse themselves discussing THE
GAZETTE, will only make Fort Worth and
| TIE GAZETTE the text, they will end the
task much simpliaed Those papers which
find time, If not profit, in the prediction Of
evil to THE GAZETTE DO not go far enough
they should predict the downfall of
Fort Worth, Che only town north OF Hous-
ton at present with distributing facilities
sufficient TO enable daily paper to
promptly reach the 200 900 people in
towns tributary. THE GAZETTE could not
be what 1t is but for Fort Worth. The
paper is simply representative of its
home. When white and reading
population is considered, no other
town in Texas begins to offer
anything like the distributing facilities of
Fort Worth, and THE GAZETTE and the
wholesale trade of Fort Worth could not
be what they are to-day but for this great
advantage over all Others aud these facil-
tiles are being daily increased. Soon the
Fort Worth & New Orleans will connect
with the Central system, and THE GA
zErTE and Fort Worth's wholesale traders
will have opened up to them the fertile
fields of Central Texas And southwest
lies a rich harvest upon which the Fort
Worth cleaners viii soon begin work
it is not THE GAZETTE the Ex-
aminer and the Times should discuss, but
Fort Worth, tho queen city of the state.
The GAZETTE is but the reflex of the
city's advantages and of the resis less
energy and liberality of the people which
gave to this city these advantages.
Galveston and the News may plead Tor
Can even, symmetrical development"
and Waco and the Examiner may urge ga
more equitable distribution OF patron
age" Fort Worth and THE GAzETrE
would deny neither-do not seek to in
jurc any. But this city and this paper
must carve out their own fortunes; there
Is not time TO even up develop
ment or distribute equitably the |
subscriptions, and those who want more
facilities must build more railroads, as
Fort Worth does--and those who want
more pat onage must earn it, as THE GA
ZErTE does.

elemental report on the Indians, recently
submitted TO congress, uses this Ian
guagei ''The Indian reservations OF the
United States contain about 100000
square miles; their population Is about
100000. Twenty-slx thousand square
miles would locate each family upon 8
half section Of land, leaving a surplus Of
about 10000 square miles, which, ac-
cording TO the plan have proposed,
would produce annually 81, 100000 This
amount exceeds by about 100000 the en-
tire sum appropriated for the payment Of
their annuities and for their subsistence
and civilization. The policy advocated in
my report would be most adyantageously
applied gradually, the general govern
ment Of the Indians being continued ac-
cording 10 the methods now in vogue, or
such Improvement OF them as times and
experience may suggest. The ultimate
development Of the suggested policy
would, as the Indians advance in clyiliza-
ton and intelligence, result In the return
TO them Of the principal derived from the
sale of ti'elr lands, which, until such
measures were authorized by act of con-
gress, would be held as a trust for their
benefit and the income applied to their
support"

FORT W0R III AND THE GAZETTE
THE GAZETTE yesterday reprinted from
the Waco Examiner an article on "Daily
journalism" the burden of which was
that THE GAZETTE Is spending more
money than it ought to spend and making
II better paper than IL ought to make,
The Examiner dlsclaims any bitterness
In what II says, praises TnE GAZETTE
and Expresses It's opinion that 1t will
"bust!" This is like unto the man who
favors certain candidate Tor Office and
tells everyone the candidate Is bound to
be defeated, THE GAZETTE Is glad to
have the assurances of the Examiner,
but while It thanks the Waco paper
for these, we must object TO
the methods by which the Examluer
seeks to evluce its love and admiration
for Tue GAZETTE, We append one para

Justify doubt of that papers discretion,

sLoWLr COMING, AND SURELY

SLOWLY COMING, AND SURELY.
The justification OF THE GAzETTE's
position on the land question is coming,
slowly but surely coming. The tendency
of public sentiment and OF land legisla-
ton Is back TO the oId-time policy under
which Texas grew and prospered and
gained eleven congressman IN 1880. When
the lease price Of public land was raised
! from to cents, THE GAZETTE criticised
the act as an arbitrary exercise Of power
and most unwise. The lease-law papers,
with one accord, declared that THE GA
zETTE objected because 1t was working
for the bullionaires. The governor of
the state, in his canvass for reelection,
declared that the increase was necessary
to protect the lands, thai IL the price had
remained at cents the syndicates and
corporations would have leased all the
good lands and left nothing lit to Craze
goose on. He, however, had no word OF
condemnation for policy which sub
jected the state to such dlreful possibility.
What The GAZETTE predicted as the
result of the land policy then pursued
came to pass. Small stock faisers, the
men with few hundred head who had
gone West for free range,as men in Texas
had been doing for scores Of years, could
not afford to lease and fence, and were
absorbed by the rich, Great companies
"a.
numerous individual ownerships Now,
when the evil is accomplished, when the
large majority OF the cattle cor
porations have complied with the law
that perpetuates their business ut the
expense of settlement aud leased lands
at or cents, the governor
recommends a reduction to the old price,
cents. The GAZETTE rejolces at the
recommendation, at the revision Of a
craftsmanship which has been so hurtful
TO Texas. No matter the motive, it IS a
step in the right objection; II is back.
ward step in the direction Of the oId-tme
tolcy. Men travel fast enough when
once they are fairly started revolutions
never go backwards.
The only true policy is that which OBJ
tains in the disposition of the United
States lands, and the pollcy which
governed Texas so many years. Sell
the lands in limited quantities to actual |
settlers only, Gu long time at low
rate of interest, the nrst come to be the
first served with watcred lands, leaving
the range FREQ TO all alike until the land
IS fenced by an actual ownership. A free
range is necessary to the man who essays |
to open up a farm in any new country,
and the man who goes flrst TO the far
West should have the water; the succeed
ing immigration brings those VINO are

and who really get the best lands in To-
eating off The streams.
Texas is travelling in the right direction
