rnE pRourH AND COTTON cRor.

The present drouth, the severest known
in Texas since 1881, is not by any means
general. From Fort Worth eastward
there is no lack Of rain, except perhaps,
In few countless But west Of this city
the rainfall has been very scant this sum
mer, and the crops are said to be ruined.
The grazing country, also, is dried up,
and cattlemen and sheepmen are very
Respondent. But in spite OF all this, and
taking the situation at It's worst the
number of people In distress is very
small.
Adventurous settlers who pushed too
recklessly into the purely grazing region
and attempted, without any resources
save the yearly yield of their labor, to
plow fortunes out of the unyexed soil,
are the chief sufferers. Some OF these
are, perhaps, in actual want, aud will
need relief from the charitable to- enable
them to live. These, however, are very
few. We read that in Young and Shack.
elford counties there are several families
sustained by the contributions Of their
neighbors. This proves that the destitu-
tion is not so very bad, or the sufferers
would have no neighbors able to take
care Of them. The restitution is among
people who had nothing to live on but
what they could make out Of their crops,
and these failing, they are at the mercy OF
fate, IL not relieved by their kindly and
more fortunate nelghbors.
Yet in the face of all this, it is worth
noting that the Texas cotton crop is in
prime condition, and the estimated yield
is in excess of the production last year,
when no complaint was made Of a bad
crop. Cotton is the main dependence Of
the state. II is all sent off, and every
bale represents so much money brought
to the state and put in circulation. AS
soon as cotton shipments begin in Sep
TENDER the stringency of the money
market will be relaxed, and we may look
for better times, in spite OF drouth.
Outside of the state the opinion is held
that we are having a famine, and it is un-
fortunately too true that the lamenta-
tions of some Of our people give cause
for strangers to think thus of us. Yet
as we have shown, the drouth is only
local, and Is confined to the west, and
even there but few counties have felt It's
extremity. The better part OF the state
is not suffering for want of rain, or it
could not promise such a cotton crop.
Where the drouth prevails the popula-
ton is very sparse, and the injury is not
widespread. We haNe much to be thank.
ful for, yet, and little 10 smile about.

that the Decatur militia come TO Chico
and aid in restraining any parties so tres.
passing. The letter was forwarded at
once by Capt. Fuller TO Adit.-Gen. King
at Austin with the Endorsement that
probably the matter was somewhat ex
aggerated.
A GAZETTE representative investigated
the subject, 80 far as 1t could be done in
Decatur, and learned that the excessive
dry weather had caused the usual gather
ing Of cattle along the river bottoms,
where they sought water and grass;
that the aggregate number OF cat
tie was impossible 10 reliably
estimate but possibly amounted to not
more than 1000 or 5000 head, II so many
that the cattle were not being driven but
were drifting simply and could easily be
turned back as heavy rains had fallen all
over the immediate West during the past
day or two.
Parties just in from Chico this after
noon state that the alarm on the part OF
Chico citizens had subsidized and the
cattle are moving back TO their home
ranges.

CRIMINAL RESPONSIBILITY OF
BANEERS

The officers and directors of the st.
Louis bank which Cashier Thomson
robbed of several thousand dollars and
reduced to insolvency have been indicted
under the Missouri law, which makes it
a felony for any bank officer or director
to allow deposits to be taken in after the
concern is insolyent. The law as 1t
stands is as follows
section 1850 Bank officers receiving deposits;
when felony--if any presid mt, director, man
ager, cashier or other oncer OF any banking
Institution doing business In this state ehall
receive an assent to tho reception OF any de-
posit OF money or other valuable thing In such
bank or banking institution, or II any such
oflcer or agent shall create or assent to the
creation OF any debts or Indebtedness by such
bank or banking Institution. In consideration
or by reason OF which indebtedness any money
or valuable property shall be received into
such bank or banking institution after he shall
have had knowledge of the fact that II 10 In.
solvent or In falling circumstances, he shall he
deemed guilty OF larceny, and upon conviction
thereof shall be punished In the manner and
to the same extent as is provided by law for
stealing the same amount of money deposited
| or valuable thing provided that the failure of
any such bank or banking Institution shall be
! prima facie evidence OF knowledge on the part
OF any such officer or person that the came was
| insolvent or In failing circumstances when the
money or property was received on deposit.
II may be considered peculiar hard
ship toward the officers to make them
crlminally responsible for the mlsdeeds
OF their employees; but would it not be
more OF hardship to leave the deposltors
without this necessary safeguard? The
officers are in position to know the condl
tion Of their bank, whether II is solvent
or not; and II, by failing to take advan
tage of this opportunity, nay, of this duty
of acquainting themselves with it's affairs
they assent to the receipt Of deposits after
the bank becomes insolvent, and expose
themselves to criminal prosecution, they
cannot claim pity. The depositors can
not know the condition Of the bank by
personal investigation. II, by putting
their means In ruined bank, they lost
them, where shall they have relief?
The law is stringent one, but it is I
necessary and salutary one. We need {

MoxIcans Ordered TO ehoot All Yaquis, va
outs Ordered to Shoot All Mexicans.
TOMBSTONE, A. T., July 23.-Advices
from Sonora confirm the belief which for
some time has prevailed here, that the
Mexican reports Of the complete subju-
CATION of the Yaquis are greatly exagger-
ated if not completely false. Trustworthy
citizens in good standing who have Just
arrived from Sonora, where they had
every opportunity to learn the true facts
in the case, say Mexican armyI officers
are thoroughly disheartensd and dis
gusted with the Yaquis war The Yaquis
number about six thousand well-armed
men, and have defeated the government
troops badly. About two hundred va
quis have been captured and shot. Or
ders are given to shoot all Yaquis found
This order was met by counter-order by
Cajome to kill all Mexicans. The result
is that many more Mexicans have been
killed than Yaquis.

THE QUESTION OF COUNT
ROADS

ROADS,
The GAZETTE has never omitted to inn
press upon its readers the need and the
value to Fort Worth OF good county
roads. Everything that could be said in
their favor has been produced time and
again In these columns, and 1t is useless
to repeat the arguments that have been
put forward, and never contested We
are glad 70 lind now that the Live Stock
journal of this city is giving its attention
to the matter, and earnestly urges that
our public roads be put in good order,
We reproduce from our coadjutor in the
good work the following editorial;
The necessity OF good roads 10 and from
Fort Worth has been often and petsistently
urged upon the county commissioners OF Tar
rant county, but, 30 far, it seems, without In
ducing them to take amy steps toward doing
better. In Justification OF their neglect of this
work. II 10 alleged that the road law Is dofec'
tive. The only defect however, is that the
law Il not mandatory that Is, II dees not com
rel the commissioners 60 make better roads,
but Il Il permlsslve and gives them authority
10 do anything necessary TO lay out new roads
and Improve old ones. Crooked roads may be
straightened new surveys made, and anything
done that Is needed TO give the county good
system OF roada.
Some OF the public highways TO Fort Worth
are almost impossible. The general conven'
fence OF the country people trading at this
point, as well Az the local mercantile Interests
OF the city, demand that access to the city
should be made eaeicr. Not only are the roads
In bad condition, but 10 travel them IA now laid
out requires one TO traverse many unnecessary
mica. The windines and tarnings In some In
stances add so per cent 10 the distance to DO

Of "grand old man" Though his party
has Just been disastrously defeated on
the issue of home rule for Ireland, the
aged premier, nothing dsunted, intends
TO give ceaseless battle in parliament for
the cause which he believes to be Just,
Three score and odd years have frosted
the hair OF the stateman's head and bowed
his vigorous frame, but his mental powers
remain undimmed and are still so bright
and keen that even his crushing defeat
has had no more effect than to render
him more arm and aggressive in pursu-
ing the course he has marked
out and which he is pursuing
with steadfastness Of purpose that
calls forth the applause of the people OF
all nations, who have been watching the
struggle in England with undated inter
est since its beginning. Such energy and
perseverance In cause that Is just Ii
bound TO succeed in spite of the great

strange that in the land Of steady habits
and blue laws such a thing could occur,
