srd. That we believe that the
legislation OF this country should be
such as to build up home market
for the products of the farm so that
the farmers of this nation should
not be dependent upon the markets
of a foreign country.
4th. That we favor the enact
ment of laws regulating railroads
limiting the maxium tariff to aust
and reasonable rate which while af-
fording a fair compensation to rail
roads will releave the people of the
oppressive burden now imposed upon
them; prohibiting all discrimination
against persons, cities and all man-
ner of pools which destroy competi-
ton.
5th. That we favor the encour-
agement of building canals and
reservoirs for irrigation by state aid
and by aid of the national govern

amending the public land laws of
this country in such a manner as to
prevent fraud and to give relief to
the honest settler, believing that
their interest should be amply and
fully protected.
sth. Resolved, that We are in favor
of the nomination of district judge
and a district attorney by the repub-

the attempt of the SO called, non

of the democratic party.
9th. Resolved, that the gratitude
of this country is due to the Union

From our exchanges we notice
that the proposition to purchase OF
Baldwin, Jay & Co. the abstracts by
the county is popular and taking
idea, and one that is being heartily
endorsed by the papers of the county.
As matter of course the commis-
sioners hesitate about making the
purchase and if there was any other
road out of the delina, we would be
opposed to 1t, but the plain unvar-
nished truth Is that the abstracts
held by the above named firm are the
only records we have dating back of
January, and sooner or later, we will
have to buy them, and the sooner
the trade is made the better it will
be for the county.

Word H-ou Texas.

EDlroR REGISTER: After so long
time l will endeavor to give you
few dots from Texas. Leaving
Lamar on the 5th of August over
the A. 7. & S. F and making con-
nection at Trinidad with the Denver,
Texas d Fort Worth in the evening
of the same day, soon found my
self sailing at a rapid rate of speed
to the land OF the sunny south.
Here allow me to say that the d. 7.
u F. w road is a model road and
one that Colorado and Texas, and
in fact the entire northwest should
feel proud of. The rolling stock
over the entire line seems to be of
the very best and in fact everything
connected with the road is first-class
and your correspondent predicts for
their line a grand future. On awak-
ng next morning, we found our.
selves on the great Pan Handle, of
Texas, and from all appearances
their portion of the Empire state
seemed 10 be in fourishing con-
dition, but toward evening as we
neared the city of Fort Worth, the
horn of plenty seemed to have show
cred out its choicest blessings. At
noon on the 7th l arrived at the
Alamo city, (San Antonio,) all o. k.
and none the worse for wear;
stopping off here day and half
visiting friends and calling upon my
best g. we'll / wont say anything
about that particular party as they
might think l was getting little
bold and perhaps too personal, there
fore we will give them rest-I bade
San Antonio "adieu" on the morn
ing of the 9th and arrived at home
in the evening where 1 found the
old historic town of Goliad looming
up in good shape and it's people
very much enthused over railroad
prospects, deep water etc., and by
the way, allow me to say, when
they get deep water at Arausas
pass, southwestern Texas will be
the garden spot of the state. Crops
over the entire state are better than
they haye been for many years, con-
sequently everybody is happy. Pros
porous corn is just being gathered
and is selling from thirty-fye to
fifty cents per bushel. Cotton is
opening very fast, and the dusky de-
scendent of Ham is happy from the
fact that he knows when the tail of
the week is over he can go to town
and literally swim in ginger cake
and sweet cider. Wishing you
prosperity and happiness, l am very
truly, n. II. SrMNoNs.
