TIE COTTON CROP

The probable extent of the present cot
ton crop remains one of the most inter-
esting problems agitating the South. The
season IS late this year, and many rea-
sons have conspired to throw more than
usual doubt upon the output. The char
acter of the crop movement affords no
satisfactory comparison with recent
years, and besides there has been a scar
city of official estimates as to the proba-
bic outcome.
On Saturday Bradstreet's Journal, an
ably conducted New York periodical,
published an estimate based upon several
thousand replies to inquiries in every sec
ton of the cotton belt, indicating the
probable yield to be 6 800 900 to $780,
600 bales. The method of arriving at
this conclusion as explained by the jour-
nal in question, is not reassuring, as it is
frankly stated that the aggregate sub
stance of the replies received indicated a
yield of only 6 1860 600 bales, to which
was added per cent as an allowance for
the general tendency to underestimate,
as indicated 10y past experience.
The crudity of the whole system of crop
estimating is so evident as to deserve to
be always borne in mind by the public,
so that these publications may be ac-
SSHlCNt 4tl " nav my INhIlg
simple estimates, and not oracular pre-
dictions.
Opinions differ widely among cotton
men as to the extent of the crop, esti-
mates running from 900 900 all the way
up TO 200 900 bales, although it must
be confessed that the larger estimates
have fewer friends than they had some
weeks back.
In the meantime the uncertainty as to
the size of the crop is affecting the cotton
market unfavorably, as it causes buyers
10 hesitate and pursue hand to mouth
policy. The latest figures show that
OWING to the belief in q large crop spin
ners' stocks have been permitted to run
very low everywhere in the hope that
they could be replenished At lower prices.
A liberal demand cannot, therefore,
be delayed much longer, but it will de-
pend on the future tendency of crop
views Us to whether the cotton will be
bought at higher or lower prices II New

MR.. AND MRS. CLEVELAND.
They will Reside in Orange, N. j., and the TX
President will Engage in Business
in New York.

PHILADELPHIA, PA, Dee. ia local
paper this morning says Mrs. Cleveland
says she is enjoying her stay here very
much, as she always does. She is very
fond of Philadelphia and would like to
make her home here after the close of the
president s administration. Indeed there
has been some serious consideration of
that subject, but strong business
reasons were advanced in favor
of residence by the president in or near
New York. 1t is now quite decided that
on the expiration of his term President
and Mrs. Cleveland will reside at Orange,
n. j ., and Mr.. Cleveland will have an
important business occupation in New
York. The president has been offered
the management OF several financial in
situations in New York City, and it is I'M
derstood he has decided TO accept one of
the offers. He has also been rendered
some law partnerships in New York, but
it is said he has decided not to return to
the practice of law pure and simple.

the citizens are benefited and none in
jured. 1t seems 20 be the desire of ali
for them to be kept within the walls now
let us see how that plan will work.
TAKE the class that are in for short terms
and put them in a shop of any kind, and
by the time they learn trade sufficiently
to be worth anything to the state and de-
frqy their expense their term is out and
they are turned loose to compete with the
&6hest mechanic and contract to work
$fheap till they find good chance to steal
ssomething, and then they jump their
contract. l hear a good deal said about
reformatory institutions for the young
convicts. The best reformatory institu-
ton ever saw tried was TO teach them
that the way of the trangressor is hard.
All classes and professions want good
roads. The people in the towns want the
produce of the country. The farmer
wants good roads, that he may haul his
produce to market in wet weather, when
he cannot plow or pick cotton. We hear
men talking about a bonded
debt that will necessitate a heavy
Tax year by year whether the farmer has
made long crop or short crop or no
crop at all. l find a law in our statute
eXempting the homestead from execution
and county tax. find now debt that
calls for interest year by year for the
state, county, town or individual is as
moth devouring his substance while he
sleeps.
This is the plan that I would suggest to
build roads. If any of the readers of
your valuable paper can suggest a better
plan will be glad to accept it and give
it my support. l invite all that object to
the plan that 1 have suggested to show
wherein my plan is wrong, but when
they think or talk of bonded debt l
want them to think OF the toiling millions
on the farm and in the shop who work
from the dawn of day till long after the
sun has run his course, through heat and
cold, through wet and dry; men, women
and children all alike who cause the
earth to bring forth yearly crops to feed
man and beast, pay all the salaries and
Oil the wheels of government. This, Mr..
Editor, is the class that | always think Of
and l want to see no greater
burden placed on the taxpayer
than he is able to bear, without being
compelled to let his wife and little ones
go through the blasting storms of winter
and the heat of July nOon-day sun lily
clad and scantily fed, all to pay interest.
l had rather be out of debt with a cash
balance, though small, and little mud
between me and town. l. ID. PARKER.

During the past seven days the annual
holiday trading to be expected at this
time of year has developed on the Fort
Worth market, and though there was
some bad weather during the closing
days of last week, which served to OBJ
struct retail trading to some extent, there
has been an average of almost unprece-
dented sales up to and including to-day
This has not been in articles strictly to be
classed as holiday goods alone, but has
included all sorts of staple goods, dry
goods, provisions, groceries, produce and
other necessaries. There have been a
great many farmers in the city, the roads
leading hereto having been in such condi-
ton as to permit the bringing in of agri-
cultural products, and the retail trade
derived from this source alone has been
of no small Importance The weather
conditions have been highly favorable to
the making of such cotton as remains IN
handled.
Wholesalers have done an immense
traffic. The trade in general groceries
has been good i'll Fort Worth during the
entire season, so the present animation is
not surprising: but the rush upon jobbers
in dry goods, who have, in common with
those of other parts of the state, felt
tritiing dizziness during the fail, is most
remarkable even in market usually so
active as that of Fort Worth.
There has not been a change of any
consequence III the value of produce,
grain or cotton Oh this market during the
week.
Chickens have advanced % cents per
dozen, but eggs and butter remain in
statu quo.
Cotton holds at the slight decline estab-
lished week ago.

CoTULLA, TEX, Dec. 19.-About s
O'Clock this morning County Surveyor
Thomas Prandy came to his office and
found the Office door locked with the key
in the hole from the inside and called
upon W j. Bowen to assist him in in
vestigating the cause. The latter raised
the outside window and saw the lifeless
body of Dennis Cole lying in a pool of
blood on the floor, with small
pen knife by-,: his side, the
jugular vein being cut. Cole had
been on pfotracted spree for
over a week and left the hotel last night
to sleep elsewheref The evidence before
Judge N. G. Rig showed death was
caused by the blade.of the Rifle in the
hands of the deceased. Cole came to
Texas from Rochester, NY =, where ms
mother and~ sister now reside, and has
been on the coast and frontier nearly
ever since the war. At one time he was
secretary of the Galveston Street Rail-
way. He has been living in this county
several years, his business being that of

Fort WORTH, Tex, Dec. 10, 1883.
To the Gazette.
For the past two or three months
wherever go, in town or country, the
road question seems to be the leading
topic of conversation and nearly every
man has plan to suggest that will rem
edy the long felt need of good roads. 1,
like the rest of the citizens, want good
roads, ana have a plan that believe
will give the counties in the black hog
wollow prairie portion of the state good
roads for less money than any plan that
l have heard suggested. 1t seems that
the courts are sending convicts to the
penitentiary faster than the state is able
TO prepare prisons to eonfine and work
them in, consequently they have to be
= hired out to build railroads and cultivate
farms for individuals or corporations
My idea is to give the counties the right
to take the convicts and work them on
the roads, thereby relieving the state of
the care and expense. 1t is wrong
to tax the honest citizens to sup
port the lawless. If we put the
convicts to building roads. all classes of
