Letter From Texas.

PELLA, Wise Co, Texas, Sept. 4.
Editor Times:
All my friends in Boone, Ma
rion, Searcy and Newton counties,
and especially those who are think
ing about making Texas their fu-
ture home, had better stop and
think for awhile. Doing we'll is
hard to beat i'll any country, and [
assure you this is not the place you
are looking for, but ifso, | want to
know what for? and | will farther
say, you had better bring grub and
water with You for the next year.
The crops this year in Wise
county is almost a failure, and it is
rs well of as any county in the
State, and not a county west of
here is half as well off. Reports
say that fifty-two counties west has
called for help, and great many
more will have to- do the same
thing, There is families in Wise
county that cannot live thirty days
without assistance, and the way the
authorities are trying to keep the
actual facts in thSnsaark, the gov
eminent is not ~ 49, IL a
helping band in time. Would to
| God you could only see the con-
dition of things at present a
drouth is nothing uncommon here,
and the crops are always short
more or less.
This is n poor farming country
and is no stock country at all. Nc
kind of tame grass will grow here,
and nothing but corn and oats fol
feed, so you see it won't do.
Boone is much better stock
! and farming country than this
} This is no fruit country at all, and
7 water at this season is an object
there is not n good spring in the
county and but few wells,
The free school system is not as
good Ms that of Arkansas. Chill.

to enter school, and the time ex.

Public sentiment! There's the rub! 1t is a
rarity in France. There can be, on occasion,
plenty Of public fury, as when, in the old
days, they kept the guillotine busy chopping
heads; and plenty Of public efiervescent en-
thusiaSm, as when, nowadays, with much
parading of military and burning of gun
powder, they celebrate their l4th Of
July: but OF calm, sustained, effective public
sentiment there is dearth. Look at the
atrocious way in which, in plain public sight,
these ~cabbies' belabor their horses. / have

Visit to the X pom In Which the Crown
jewels Are Kept-A Risk.
The next most interesting place We visited
was the crown room, where the regalias are
kept Each of us paid the woman in charge
a siTpence, and after climbing a flight of
rickety wooden stairs into the second story of
q so-called tower, we were uShered into the
famous room where are kept many million
iollars' worth OF precious stones and gold,
which made up the several crowns, scepters
and other insignia of royalty on exhibition
The crown jewels have been kept in the
Tower ever since the time of King Henry Ill,
about go years ago They were kept here for
safe keeping, for burglar proof safes were un-
known in those days In great glass case,
surrounded by a light network of iron, are
the crowns that had been worn by Victoria,
by her husband, Prince Albert, and by the
Prince of Wales Beside these are the queens
diadem, sort of a crown made for the queen
of James ii, and a St Edwards crown, so
called, which has been worn by some Of the
predecessors of her majesty. and a queens
consort crown. There are in the case several
scepters. made hollow OF gold, about three
feet long and an inch in diameter. 1t was a
dazzling show of gold, diamonds, emeralds
ruby, topaz, sapphires, some of which are
thousands of years old, and are historically
interesting.
How they could trust jewels amounting in
value to several millions of dollars in such an
apparently weakly guarded room, with no
iron doors, is a wonder to me. 1t tseemed that
there was nothing to prevent half a dozen
American burglars from entering in the guise
Of tourists, ssizng the guide and the woman
in charge and choking them into silence, and,
after having choroformed them, break the
glass with a stick, hook out the velvet crown,
fold it up and put it into their pocket, and
then walk out composedly, like honest tourists,

The Influence Of Verbatim Reporting.
We may not have the equals of Patrick
Henry, Samuel Adams, John Rutlelge,
Webster, Clay, Calhoun or Prentiss, but as
whole the congressional orator of to-day Is
far superior TO that Of the near or distant
past. Verbatim reporting has proved great
injury to congressional oratory. In the
olden time the senator's and representatives
would listen TO those who were speaking with
the attention of assemblages of trained critics
When verbatim reports Of the debates were
made and printed, these congressional listeners
were no longer to be found
A senator or representative who had care
fully prepared himself would, as he COM
menced his speech, see his audience engaged
in every other way than listening to his ac-
cents Some would be in groups chatting,
others would be reading newspapers or books,
and the rest inditing epistles or directing
public documents TO their constituents. |:
would be difficult for him to say what he had
intended, were there not another Stimulus by
which his tongue and his patience were
rendered inexhaustible-the reflection that
although his words were falling lifeless upon
the ears of his ostensible audience they would
be read by attentive constituents at home. 1t
is to them that speeches in congress have been
addressed since the introduction of verbatim
reporting. Congressmen who were noted for
their espquence upon the home stump have
houndered through written platitudes at the
Capitol, often prepared for them by some
journalist for a stated compensation.

The prospect of a little brush with the
Mexicans grows rather than diminishes.
The state department has demanded the re-
lease of Cutting. and congress and the
country endorse the action. If we propose
to stand by and see foreign country come
over our border and arrest United States
citizen, for an offence committed within our
own domain. and take him before their
own court for trial, we may as well sur
render at once. While we ought not, and
cannot submit to such injustice, yet the
matter ought not to be so serious as to re-
quire a resort TO force. The Mexican
authorities will certainly come to their
senses in this matter and release the pris-
oner. II they refuse, however, they must
be shown with promptness and firmness,
yet with fairness, their duty in the matter
and required to disgorge.

which came a yellowish discharge very often

annoyed me great deal. About eight months

The meek-mannered senator with the
sanity smile beaming over his countenaDce.
known as the coal oil member from Ohio,
is getting in his work at the departments
before he leaves OF his summer vacation.
Danl. Grosvenor, brother of Gen. {. II.
Grusyenor, has for several years held po-
sition in the treasury department. He bears
the reputation of being an efficient and
faithful clerk. 1t occurred to the beaming
senator from OHIO that he ought TO be got
ten rid of, and tOddled over to the office of
the assistant secretary and demanded his
removal. The Commercial Gdzettc's Wash
ngiOn correspondent, in referring 10 the
matter. says:
THE clipper and staggering actions Of the
cOal-oil senator today in the treasury depart-
ment were revelation to those who had
watched him during the debate on his bribery
case. At the capitol he wore a meek injured
air of sanctity and innocence that made the
assaults upon such a venerable old saint seem
like sacrilege, while pity for his painful condi-
TIon Of deafness was often heard as he sat lean
ing forward with one hand up TO his ear appa-
rently trying in vain TO catch the drift of what
was going on about him. Today he could hear
the low voice Of the secretary ten feet away
from him without a hand to his ear and the
expression OF his cOuntenance in demanding
Grosyenors removal was anything but meek
or saintlike.
The old blatherskite seems to regard his
position only in the light of weapon with
which to get revenge on a supposed enemy,
and reward some ward hummer who has
been useful TO him in some of his disgrace
full schemes.
