1t would seem that the denial of any
peculiar identity OF interest," between
farmers and knights OF Labor is not re-
stricted to Texas. Boston telegram
says that ''lorty farmers Of Win
chester, Lexington, Woburn and Ar
iington met at the house Of Mr..
Walter Russell in Arlington, and,
1t is said, resolved to employ no man who
is Knight OF Labor. 1t Is further said
that they are willing to bind themselves
In $1,000 each to observe the agreement.
In the early part OF December the farmers
OF these towns are accustomed to hire
their hands for year al fixed wages, and
they fear that strike may be ordered by
the Knights In the summer or fall, when
their crops would suffer by neglect, un-
less some understanding with their EN-.
ployes is reached now, One farmer is
reported as saying Il don't want
my farm hands subject to the dictates Of
such an irresponsible man as Mooney,
the one who ordered the strike OF the tan
ners at Winchester, and then, after taking
the men from work, acknowledged that
ne had made mistake in doing so, and
ordered them back, Surprising that he
was to do the same thing with farm labor.
ers, and find out he was wrong, his
error of Judgment might cause the loss Of
all roy crops.n
The effort TO unite the alliance and
knights OF Labor in Texas was for polit-
ical purposes only, and but for the inter.
change of membership between the two
orders, the alliance would not now be
wrestling with the threat Of division con.
sequent upon the action at Cleburne.

The Dallas Mercury is the leading So
called labor paper of the state, and claims
to represent especially the farmers ALI
ance. 1t talks glibly about land titles,
acquired from dead Rings," but ia dis
posed only to attack ownership of land
by spectators, We protest that the
Mercury cannot stop short of the full
scope of the land gu, stion as presented
by Henry George and his hackers In New
York and other great cities of the North.
There must not be fish for Texas and flesh
for other localities. II the even and
symmetrical distribution of land is good
thing, letit be applied to all alike, with
out reservation or modification. Some
titles may come from dead kings, but the
most of them in this country represent
the toll, privation and patient accumula-
ton OF men who honestly earn their
homes or fortunes.

Swing ont the Land.


II is a quarter Of a century siuce Sum.
ter fell, but time does not fairly mark the
changes that haye occurred in the South
in that time. We have had revolution
and war and reconstruction; all social
and all political institutions have been
altered, and, as we all see now, altered
for the better. The South of to-day diff
fers as much from the South Of SCI as
differed the South Of 1861 from that OF
1887.
The forces that have been silently work
ing for the rehabilitation OF these South
ern states are now manifest. The work
Of many years is revealed in the occur
rences of few months. Just now the
~late rebel states'' are attracting their
full share of attention from politicians,
capitalists and men Of letters. This is truly
the solid section OF the country. IL is SOL
Idly for the Union; more loyal to It's
principles and its traditions than ever be-
fore; more hopeful Of its promises, more
devoted to it's welfare. 1t Is zealously at
work repairing It's material fortunes,
building upon the ruins OF the old a
newer and better. civilization, and II
claims its share because IL has contrib
uted its share to the common heritage OF
the nation.
1t is not merely to the social or politl-
cal features that attention is now d.
rected. Southern industries are an inter
esting study, and the studies are full OF
urprises-surprises as great for us, per-
haps as for those whom we have invited
to come and see. At any rate, the lnves-
tigators are among us. They are explor-
| ing our hills and our lost valleys. They
are familiarlzng themselves with our
| geological formations, with our water
courses, with our fields and forests, with
our great and our growing cities, and
these Investigators are telling all they see,
not for political effect, but for intelligent
application.
| Recently Mr.. Inman, Southern man,
whose business interests some years ago
took him to New York, invited the repre-.
sentatives of the great publishiI house
to make an extensive tour of inspection,
to go anywhere and everywhere to see
everything we have to show, and to tell
what they see. These gentlemen nave
been visiting all points of interest South
for weeks. They have everywhere re.
ceived the heartiest welcome. They have
filled their notebooks and their sketch
books, and are now journeying home.
| To-day they are with US, here ''on the
| border" but the border is now only an
imaginary line Louisville is not vain OF
boastful, but she is always ready to vel
come her friends, and to show them those
things in which she takes most pride
Just now she has not on her holiday garb
but at any time and always she is vel
worth seeing. She will give these friends
friendly welcome, and will show then
that she, too, has her part in the good
fortunes that are flowing in on the New
South, and that here, also, are to BIZ
found those rewards that walt only fol
those who seek them with energy ant
with untlring zeal. So may they, return

they fund only land flowing with mill
and honey.

A RAD ON GREER ooUNTY.

When the Twentieth legislature meets
there will be another attempt to make
raid on the lands in Greer county belong
ing to the school and public debt
funds. Those who have taken the
pains to read the report of Land
Commissioner Walsh, recently published,
cannot have failed to note how
how hard he dies on this point Mr.
Walsh, as commissioner Of the land office,
allowed holders of veteran certificates so
locate the same upon these lands and is
sued patents. The encouragement in
terfered, on the ground that such loca-
tions were Illegal, and instituted suit for
the cancellation Of the patents. He was
sustained by the district court of Travis
county, and the defendants have ap-
pealed to the supreme court, which tri-
bunal has not yet rendered a decision. In
his report Mr.. Walsh shows that he de-
sires to anticipate or forestsll the action
of the supreme court, for he suggests
that the Legislature shall confirm
these patents ISSUED ON veterans GER
tincates) "with the condition attached
that they return field notes for like
amount for the school fund" And con-
temporaneous with this suggestion OF
Mr.. Walsh's, 1t is noteworthy that notices
like this are beginning to appear in the
Austin papers:
lature for thu passage OF an act or acts, as the
case may be, for the relief of Texas veteIans

the alliance in Texas originated with the
political adyenturers who had become
knights for Office only, and the WORK OF
interchsnging membership was yigor-
ously prosecuted prior to the election,
and, despite all warnings, many members
OF the alliance fell into the trap. The
result. was inevitable, and now while the
national leaders OF the Knights are
organizing a political party that proposes
raid on land ownership, the farmers,
who are peculiarly lsnd-boldlng class,
are compelled to undo the work OF disin-
tegratlon begun by aflliation with the
Knights Of Labor.
There is nothing in common between
the declared purposes OF the two orders,
political or industrial, and the effort to
unite them can be traced directly TO those
who have some selfish purpose to attain
by such union. Men who live In the
town want to use the alliance as means
