STEER CLEAR or THE POLL


The chief danger the incoming governor
of Texas has to avoid Is to keep out Of the
hands Of any set Of politicians. 1t is not
meant that Gen. Ross Is man so pliable
or indolent that he is likely to be used by
any political cabal or clique--far from
that. But what is meant Is that SIS sure
as the sun shines there will be a set of
politicians who will desire to be so
thoroughly intimate with the governor
that their influence at the execut We office
viii be recognized. This can be done so
dellcately or insidiously as TO veil the
true intent OF the movement from a
man of frank and unsuspecting nature.
1t does not argue, by any means, that u
man Ia lacking in force of character or
selirelisnce because he takes counsel
with his frlenss or surrounds himself
with advisors. Nor is IL to be ex-
pected that q man shall conclude
he knows more than anybody else
and disdaln advice or counsel
from any source. Gov. Ross is mortal,
like everybody ellie THE GAzETrE has
ever seen, and will no doubt rely TO some
extent upon the opinions OF gentlemen
whose ability as well as their character
renders their judgment OF value. That ia
all right anc proper, But man who has
been elevated to the highest ofice in the
state by such majority as Gen. Ross has
received, can afford to be somewhat self.
reliant, and Independent, too. He can
lean upon the people, rather than upon
any kitchen cabinet, no matter how able
It's members, aud the people will back aud
indorse him. He Isan intelligent man, with
his perceptive faculties fairly well de.
yeloped, aud will not fad II difficult To
gauge public sentiment as TO all matters
OF moment or Importance thas are likely
TO como up during his administration. No
man can be stronger than his party or the
people, and 1t is not only righ, out IT Is
eminetly safe to carry out the views OF
the people on all questions aud poll.
Giles. TINE GAZETTE has high opinion OF
Gen. Ross sturdy, well.balanced nature
and feels very hopeful that while he Is
governor he will be so in fact and OF the
whole people--ki,chen cabinets VIII not
flourish. He win have the opportunity
of achieving highly useful, perhaps
brilliant, administration, and can do II
without the help OF the politicians.

LS REAGAN zoo LArE z

THE GAZETTE has not affected to re-
gard Judge Reagan as q true type of the
OZARK norsep in the senatorial race, and
has supposed that he was sincere In
accepting t1e nomination as representa-
two from the Palestine district, 1t is
becoming evident, however, that the
public at large is Inclined, all the clrcum-
stances considered, TO regard Judge
Reagan's aspirations with dlsiayor. The
judge Is highly esteemed by the people Of
Texas. Everybody comedies his sturdy
integrity and his ploddiug, thoroughly
reliable ability, II no had, on his re.
turn from Washington, come out squarely
az candidate for the senate 1t Is alto
gether probable he would to-day be
among the strongest candidates in the
field. He has strength rs It is, but as
Tux GAZETTE reads public sentiment the
people think the proper thing for Judge
Reagan, assuming he had senatorial
aspirations, would have been declina-
ton Of denomination In his congress
sional district THE GAZETTE does not
characterize his course as improper, for
he has simply done what other public
men have done end no hue and
cry was made about It. But perhaps the
people are more critical now than in
other days, Any way there is plainly
audible murmur all over the state to the
feet that Judge Reagan will do himself
credit by abiding the result Of the late
election. And If this is the view the peo-
pie take Of 1t, the matter 10 as good as
settled, for the legislators are going to
carry out the views Of their constituents.
This state of affairs may be somewhat
unpalatable to Judge Reagan, for he is a
J sensitive, honorable man. He is not the
only statesman, though, who has made a
mistake, and If his aspirations now (clr.
cumstances consldered) turn out to be a
blunder he has the satisfaction OF know.
ing he can very easily remedy the blum.
der, and at the same time continue mis-
usefulness and retain the esteem he SC
justly enjoys

TIE ErrEcr or LOSSES.
Texas Live stock journal.

The statement by Col. S. p. Cunning
ham, appearing In this issue, will be fully
appreciated by those in the ranch bust
ness, but liable to mlsconception by
Others outside. Here, those who follow
the ranch trade know ON whom the losses
fall, aud know also that the moving OF
stocks under certain circumstances can
only be attended by winter losses. In
Texas the losses are greater on the free
ranges and smaller on the ranges owned
and controlled by the stockmen whose
cattle pasture thereon. The open and
free ranges are overstocked while the
ranges owned or leased are generally
carrying no more than ought to winter
nicely
In New Mexico and Altoona The losses
were principally on through cattle, held
and humbugged, delayed and harrsssed
by unnecessary quarantine regulations
In the upper ranges the losses are due to
the same reason. These losses are in
Texas cattle, but fall on the purchasers.
Some losses are due 10 tue attempt so
strongly persisted in to reverse the
natural laws and conditions OF the trade.
The numbers Of cattle on Southern
ranges now show concluslvely that 1t Is a
breeding ground. The number north
ana everything connected win. the upper
ranges snow conclusiyely that If heifers
are driven they ought to be sppyed, and
that steers are she proper stock to run.
Where the cattle require large acreage
for supper; and the winters are uniform
ly cold breeding heiiers simply overstock
ranges without producing a good income
from beef, whereas in the best breeding
ground in Texas the loss Of full crop is
not missed.
1t may be said that the knowledge OF
such state OF affairs VIII have It's fleet.
This effect has taken place--is past and
gone. The prices of stock cattle have
fallen to the prices Of 1881, and the Light
ly stocked ranges are just as able TO win
ter the stock as Ia 1881. The ranch in
terest suffered, but is now recovering
and the strong men Of the trade are buy
| ing cattle.

sunmtt tho Amendment.

The question of submitting a prohibit
tory amendment TO our state constitution,
to DC voted on by the people, will come
before the next legislature, and II one
may Judge from the tone of the press the
legislature will be certain to submit.
Nearly every paper in the state, whether
in favor Of or against prohibition, is In
favor OF submitting the question to the
people, and let them decide for them
selves; N fact we do not know OF but one
paper that opposes the submission, and
that is the Galveston and Dallas News
Its opposition is tantamount 70 the pass
age Of the resolution-for whatever IL
fayors nearly always looses, and what IL
disapproves generally succeeds. We
have o doubt but the question will be
submitted TO the people as it should nave
been two years ago.
