THE pay OF state senators and MEM
bers of the house of representatives in
Texas is just sufficient to render it nee
essary to send incompetent men, or
men who will take advantage OF the sit
uatiOn to secure remuneration for
their services which the state denies.
Would it not be better to take away all
pay for legislative services and let the
members forage for living upon those
who have axes to grind? No compe-
tent man Of business can afford to lose
his time and cripple his business for the
present pay; no incompetent man should
be sent. The law means well, but it
don't work well.

ANOTHER question to be decided by
Yesterdays election is-HOw far the pro.
hihitiOn vote is likely to figure In the
campaign Of 1888? If no material in
crease is noted over vote of 1884, we
may reasonably hope that there will not
be much change in 1888. II the reverse
Ia true and the returns show a material
increase of the prohibition vote over
that OF 1884 it will decrease the chances
of republican Victory in 1888. The prohi-
bition party has been under st. Johns
leadership the sworn enemy of republi-
Canism.

The era of low prices for agricultural
products seems to have come TO stay.
The acres under cultivation, not only in
America but In Africa and Asia, are
multiplied every year, and the Overpro-
duction must crowd prices to the lowest
possible figure. While prices remain
low, wages will not materially advance.
The idlers waiting for work are ready
to step into every vacancy that presents
itself and wisdom cOunsels those who
have employment not to recklessly
abandon their situations. Winter is APP
preaching and work will be none too
plentiful. The necessities Of life must
be secured, and if no more offers, better
consider consequences before refusing
even that for possible better.

The New Orleans TimesDemOcrat
has taken up the fight most vigorously
against the American Oil Trust COM
pany, which bears about the same rela-
ton to cotton seed oil that the Standard
Oil company Of Payne does to the coal
oil business OF the Pennsylvania oil re-
gions. The Trust company is gigan-
tic monopoly, reaching out its hand 10
rake in every oil mill in the cotton dis
tricts Of Memphis and New Orleans, and
by controlling production regulates the
price of seed and compels every planter
to sell his seed at just such prices as are
determined upon by the cotton seed
ring. The immense volume OF watered
stock owned by the concern must return
its regular interest the same as legiti-
mate investment, no matter what bur-
dens are laid upon the planter to support
this monopoly. AS soon as an independ-
ent mill attempts to run the agents OF
the Trust company are sent on the
ground and the prices of seed forced up
until the mill is compelled to cease buy
ing or manufacture oil at q ruinous cost;
the immense volume of the transactions
of the company making few dollars
more per ton for seed mere moth
ing for the short time necessary TO
close out rival with individual capital.
The result ia that cotton seed, which
formerly represented to the planter no
inCOnsiderable portion OF his profits
from cotton culture. is now selling with
out any profit 10 him and the result in
the end will be to largely curtail the
cotton raising industry and compel the
planters to torn their attention to other
industries. The Times. Democrat has in
Cured the emnity OF the ring by its
open, fearless advocacy of the planters
rights and its exposure of the monopoly.
For this it has been severely oensured
by the Hour" whose columns are
opened to the ring as their champion.
The Times-DemOcrat fights the fight
manfully, but against immense odds.
