The Mormons are reported to
at last have weakened and will
shake the dust of this country
from their feet. A vast body of
land, embracing three or four mil
lions of acres, has been purchased
from the Mexican government, and
the Latter Day Saints will Sound
a new colony in that country. They
will not all leave at once, but will
remove 4 few at a time in order
not to be compelled to sacrifice
their property to the Gentiles. A
certain number, to be designated
by casting lots, will leave each
year, and if they can not sell to
the Gentiles the church will pay
them for the property. 1t is esti-
mated that the work of depopula-
ton will take ten years.

Geological survey Of Texas.

/ DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE
INSURANCE, STATISTICS AND HIsTo'
RY, Austin, Tex, October II. 1888
The plan of operations adopted
for the Geological survey of Tex
as divides the State, temporarily
into four districts, with a survey
ing corps in each; and as their
work Is intended solely to develop
the resources of the state, the CO.
operation and assistance of the
people is most earnestly solicited.
To this end we desire to secure re-
liable correspondents and observ-
ers in every county, from whom
information may be obtained which
viii greatly facilitate the work of
the geolagists by enabling otAe
State Geologist to direct the sur
yeying parties to the greatest adj
vantage. These surveying parties
can only examine a limited area
each season, and the immense ex-
tent Of the state will render it very
difficult to accomplish the work
desired without the active cooper
alton and assistance asked for on
the part of the people most inter-
ested.
The work viii be particularly di-
rected: LIST, TO a search for ores,
minerals. oils, Goals, clays, and
other materials possessing a COM
mereial value, and the determine
ton of the question, whenever
possible, whether they exist in
sufficient quantities, and under SUI
table conditions and surroundings,
to make it reasonably certain that
it viii be profitable to work them;
End, to an investigation of the ge-
ologic formation and topography
Of the country, with a view to de-
ternining the probability of OBJ
tanning artesisn water and the fea-
sibility of irrigating from such
wells or from streams, shallow
wells or tanks where necessary;
Bird, TO the determination of the
sdaptsbility of soils to certain
crops, and how their fertility can
be increased by the use of materi'
ais nearest at hand; and 4th, to the
search for and development Of use
fuI articles as yet not fully known.
The collection of fossils and
study of geologic strata, though a
a necessary concomitant, will be
made las far as as is consistent
with obtaining a correct knowledge
Of their character and influences
subordinate and subsidiary to the
economic features of the survey.
Trusting that the plan thus
briefly delineated will meet your
hearty approval, the State Geolo-
gist asks your aid, believing that
with the assistance asked for the
Geological Survey and will be made
a complete financial and scientific
success. E I. DUMBLE.

Mr.. j. NJ. Hodnett, of near Lii
lac, this county, brought to the
Texan Office last Monday, a green
tea bush, taken up by the roots
from bunch growing in his yard
He says the seed came from Chi.
na, and has been kept by him fol
quite a number of years. 1t is the
regular genuine green tea, and Mr..
Hodent's family and neighbors
gather it and use it, and prefer il
to any they can get from the store.
1t grows very readily and requires
little or no cultivation. Quite an
industry might be grown up by
cultivating this plant. - Taylor

A COOKING SEcRET.-The great
secret of French cooking is a
knowledge of the variety of food
to be had, plenty of time to pre-
pare the food, and a slow fire.
American cooks are in SO much OF
a hurry that when they prepare
a meal they imagine that what is
necessary is plenty of fuel and a
roaring hot fire. With meats this
simply bakes or incinerates the
fibres, instead of permitting the
juices to perform their proper
functions. And this hurry up"
system is what is slowly, perhaps,
but surely, making of us race of
dyspeptics.

CRADLE TO COFFIN.

We rock the cradle gayly and swing it TO and fro,
new life sleeps within it. In tender tones and low,
mother sOOthes to slumber, in love notes soft
and mild,
While held in sleep and safety, there rests an
earth-bOrn child
As We rock the cradle gayly.
We lay aside the cradle, the bird its nest has flown,
And spread its piniOnS boldly to make its way
alone;
To fly, to fall in sorrow, raise and keep its way,
Md tolls, temptations, triumphs, fair fruitage
of llfe'S day,
As we lay aside the cradle.
We bend above the coffin, another soul has fled;
The earthly flight is over, is won lost, dead,
The babe who in the cradle first knew of earthly
strife,
And there, with hands close folded, lies all We
know of life,
AS we bend above the coffin.

"THE New Orleans Times Democrat" !"
remarks that 1.-The Democratic party is a
national and not sectional one, and it
is for this reason that the people of the
Southern States belong to it." If that
is the best reason that the people of the
Southern States can give for holding
fast to the Democratic party it is high
time that they cut loose from it. Free
dom is National and it is the corner
stone of the Republican party. Slavery
was sectional, and yet the Democracy
built upon it. And both parties have
been consistently true to their origin.
During the war the Republican party
took the side of the Nation, while the
Democratic party took the side of sec
ton. To-day the Republican party is
battling for a free ballot, just as it used
to battle for free speech, free soil, free
men. On the other hand Democracy,
still dominated by sectionalism, is max
ing a common cause with those who
have conspired to make the South solid
by frauds upon the ballot box.
If the "T'imeS- Democrat" desires to
do well by the New South it will refrain
from uttering the old nonsense. A pap
er that begins by claiming that the
Democratic party is National and not
sectional-the implication being that
the Republican party is sectional and
not National be expected to bring
up with the old inquiry: "Do you want
your daughter to marry a nigger?"-

can be accomplished with dOuehes, SnuffS,

PRESIDENT CLEvEEAND's bitter and
scOlding paragraphs, which we have man.
aged to read, about capital and monop-
lies, containing his arraignment of capt.
talists as Anarchists, are by way of
reproaching the American people for
not re-electing him to the office to which
he had consecrated himself at salsry
of fifty thousand dollars a year, with
privileges of real estate speculation in
the Red Top region through the def1ec-
ton of Massachusetts, avenue, and ap-
propriations of of public money for his
own private pocket, through the syndi-
cate, thrown in. And these paragraphs,
mendacious and demagogic in the ex-
treme, low-toned and vicious as they
are recognized to be, amount to an ac-
cusation that he was defeated by the
improper use of money by the banded
capitalists of the country. The Big
Fraud should know better than to sup
pose that the people didn't know that
he was the center and beneficiary of
great nest of corrupt trusts; that he had
the Standard Oil Company in his Cabi-
net, and also the Pan-electrical specula-
tion-anG that he has himself profited
by land purchases through syndicate
and pretended Improvements at the
public expense directed with reference
to it. He had millionaire at the head
Of
who was expected to pour out all the
golden grease that could be squeezed
from the trusts, and the postal service,
the navy yards, the army contracts; and
from the internal revenue army. 1t is
simply silly for the President to be put
ting up poor mouth about money. As
for any particular care on his part about
the purity of the ballOt-box, the slightest
profession of it by him would be receiv-
ed with the laughter of ridicule and dis
dain by all intelligent citizens. He was
elected by fraud undoubtedly, and there |
has been nothing inconsistent with his !
election in his administration. He was |
defeated fairly and squarely. His assault |
as he goes out, upon the trusts that |
nourished him, is precisely in character |
with his calculated impertinence direct
ed to insult British Government as an
electioneering trick. The passages of |
the Presidents message relating to an
archy and to capital, and the English
affair will put the finishing touches on
his reputation, and lay him away with
the correct label on his political coffin,
viz: That he was the most robust fraud
for a man of his caliber in his time

TALKS ON THE TARIFF.

New York Press
The English salt combine, or salt trust,
is composed of sixty-four salt producing
firms and companies with a capital of
100000 common, e1,OOO,OOO prefer
ence stock to draw seven per cent. in
terest and e1,OO0,0O0 four and one-half
per cent. bonds, making total of about
S20,000,000. In their prospectus they
state that from 1873 to 1887, 10,894, $50
tons were shipped in the Mersey. Of
that amount 2,235, ,567 tons were shipped
to the United States. The estimated
production of the salt combine annually
is 100000 tons. The profit at five
shilings per ton 100000. After pay
ing interest on bonds, e45,00O, and
preference shares, e70,000-e115,000-
leaves e305,000, or about 81 1,925,0O0
annually. The above calculation would
give from sixty to seventy per cent.
profit on the cost of manufacturing the
salt.
Now why should not this country ad-
NIT salt free of duty to benefit this huge
combine" and break down our own
salt manufacturers? ats English, you
know" Free traders wake up! Your
friends want our market without being
taxed for it. "The tariff is a tax" so
the parrot says. Mr.. Allison, in your
tariff bill remember the poor English
salt trust.

THE common boastof a rich man,
that he can pay his way and is obliged to
nobody" is very silly boast; for the
man is debtor to others for all he pos
sesses; and, of course, the larger his pos
sessions are, the more he is in debt. The
debt is, however, due only to society
generally; and therefore no individual
member of society is entitled to ask pay
ment for it. 1t must be paid in con-
duct, and in doing those particular du-
ties which belong to his station.

A LETTER from the editor of the
Greenville S. c., Daily NeooS to Presi-
dent-elect Harrison, stating that great
anxiety at the South would be relieved
by some utterance going to show that
the attitude of the new administration
toward the South would be friendly and
conservative" has drawn out reply,
of which the following are the most sig
nificant sentences:
"When the surprise and disappoint-
ment which some of your people have
felt over the result has passed away and
they give some calm thought to the sit
uation, 1 think they will be as much
surprised as l am that they should in
thought or speech impute to me un-
friendliness toward the South. The pol
icies in legislation advised by the Re-
publican party, believe, are wholesome
for the whole country, and if those who
in their hearts believe with us upon
these questions would act with us, some
other questions that gives you concern
would settle themselves"
