The TENNESSEE WHEELER

TIE TENNESSEE WREELERS.
The Wheelers of Tennessee are having
bad time OF 1t. Their agent, Mr.. W. D.
Clark, established headquarters at Nash
vile, and proceeded to furnish the farm
ers throughout the state, purchasing large
quantities Of goods from wholesale mer-
chants. This method interfered with the
business of the country retailers and
they protested, threatening to boycott
Nashville wholesale houses II they did
not cease furnishing the Wheel agent at
wholesale prices. The state Is fully
aroused. The merchants are in high
dudgeon, and the farmers are convinced
that the scheme is q profitable one fer
them, else the merchants would not OBJ.
ject so strenuously. The merchants are
unWise in opposing the Wheelers, who
have right TO enter the mercantile field
il they desire, and who will be .sure TO
do so II 1t is attempted to prevent them.

FOR THE PANHANDLE AND WEST

THE GAZETTE has had in course of pre-
psration for the past month and will issue
at an early day, PANHANDLE AND WEST
TEXAS SPECIAL EDITION, which will be sn
accurate and complete exhibit Of the pro.
gress, resources apd conditions of that
portion of Texas situate west of the
ninety-seven and one-half degree Of west
longitude, and north of thirty-frst degree
of north latitude, including 10l organ
ICED and unorganized counties. Il will
also contain correct geographical and
railroad map OF North Texas.
The vastness Of this territory which en-
braces nearly one-hslf Of the entire state,
the paucity of its population, and until
recent date it's inaccessibility for the
most part, by modern means Of travel,
have all consplred to effectuslly veil Its
large but undeVeloped resources from the
world.
So limited have been the sources Of in
formation about the greater part Of this
immense district, and so meagre and IN
satisfactory the reports which have been
received from it, that the people of other
sections of Texas are but little less en-
iightened as to the actual capabilities OF
the virgin soil OF Western Texas, than
the people of the outside world.
The progress which has already been
made in the work of collecting from the
most reliable sources, statistical and gen.
eral facts for this special edition, justi-
fies the statement that its exhibit OF the
industries Of this district will show that
they are more varied than those OF any
other section in the south or west, that
its soils grow almost all varieties
of fruit, vegetable and agricultural pro-
ducts Indigenous to this continent, with
results equivalent to the care bestowed
upon them; that it has been lavishly en-
dowed by nature with mineral stores, the
development of which will bring about 8
revolution that will not only enrich the
communities where these deposits exist
but have q most benefcent effect upor
the state at large, superinducing an In
fux of capital, and s healthy state Of
affairs financially, in which all sections
will share.
A comparison of the results OF THE
GALETTE's investigations with the agri.
cultural reports of other states and terri
tories will demonstrate the superiority Of
West and Northwest Texas over them al
as a ain-growing region, and clearly IL
dictate that at no distant date these sec
tions must become the chief gransries Of
tue world. The superiority OF this
district for stock-growing pur-
poses has long since been conceded BY
practical stockmen. Its rich native
grasses and mild and equable climate art
points of advantage which leave 1t un
rtysued in this respect. The rspit
growth of the stock farming industry
coupled with its gradual absorption OF TIT
range interests, is sure precursor OF
future in which the Panhandle and Yves
Texas will be the largest and most i'm
portsnt beef producing districts in thu
Union.
To exhibit in s carefully prepared ane
conservative publication all material fsct'
relating to the Panhandle and Vest Texal
is the task which TEE GAZETTE has as
sumed. It has never been attempted Pc
fore. The slight attention which ID

AS TO MIR. CLARK.

The Waco Examiner addresses this bit
of political history to THE GAZETTE
"When Richard Coke entered politics SIS
candidate for Governor, expecting by that
Office to be remCnerated in behalf OF
Democracy, Clark WAS his manager,
working night aud day for Democracy,
without hope OF fee or reward. The Ex-
aminer will indorse you, brother GA
zETTE, in all the good you have to s.y
about Senator Coke, but DO not try to
dim the luster Of other stars in the Texas
galaxy that Coke may shine the brighter. !"
THE GAZETTE does not desire to dim
the luster of any one else in order
that Coke may shine more brightly,
and is willing to give Mr.. Clark all credit
for what he has done. It should be rec
objected, however, that Mr.. Coke deserves
the credit Of discovering Mr.. Clark aud
making an Attorney-General out OF him
when he was young man. As far as
being Mr.. Coke's "mansgsr" Is concern
ed, the Examiner is mistaken. The cam
paign,of 1873 was quite unlike the cam
paign of 1887. There was no manager"
and no headquarters with flags flying;
there were no boxes Of literature sent In
from other states and no corps OF ora-
tors in the field. The people voted, end
when the demand for the reigns OF gov
eminent was made, only the courage and
boldness of Mr.. Coke enabled the people
to take 1t out Of the hands of usurpers.
Mr.. Clark is undoubtedly great man in
the political world, and much Of his
greatness is due to his happy affiliations
with Mr.. Coke.

coMnEHDABLE REFORMS.
Quiet bat Effective work by Chief o.
Police NitehsII.

Chief Of Police Mitchell went into
Office with no flourish of trampets and
has never Dragged about what he was
going to do. He seems, however, to
have studied the situation and gone
ahead quietly to in2ugurate necessary
reforms In his first repor: To the
council, among other excellent sag-
gestions, he recommended the passage
OF an ordinance prohibiting driv-
ing faster than q walk at the interSec-
ton OF Front, James, Mill and Com
mercial streets. such an ordinance
was passed at the meeting of the coun-
eli Monday evening. although Mayor
Moran may not have sigEed il vet.
Chief Mitchell win post conspicuous
placards in several places al the inter
section OF those streets and will en-
force the ordinance strictly. Hereto
fore pedestrians have been in danger
Of their lives in crossing those streets.
owing TO the reckless driving.
COMMON NUISANCE.
The chiefs Just report also recon-
mended the enactment of an ordi-
nance prohibiting the scattering of
circulars, dodgers and other gdyertis-
III
ordinance has been prepared and will
be submitted at the meeting OF the
council Friday evening. Ii will also
prohibit merchants from sweeping
loose paper and refuse into the streets.
Such material is whirIed about by the
wind, and il liable to brighten horses
as well As being nuisance to the gen
eral public.
STREET SIGNS.
The police are also RICHLY enforcing
the ordinance providing against lum-
boring up the streets with portable
signs, stocks of goods and fakir out
fits. Each merchant and business
man Is allowed twenty inches in front
OF his place of business for such pur-
poses. Chief Mitchell required Mayor
Moran to remove lot OF old iron
from in front of his iron works.
The iron had been there since the
foundry was first established. The
mayor complied good-naturedly.
Charles Frasch was arrested Yesterday
and fined s. in Justice Jones' court.
for maintaining 2 garbage barrel in
front OF his store on Nil street Mr.
Fraseh was very indignant, although
he had been notified To remove the
nuisance, and intimate3 sareastieally
To Chief Mitchell that he might want
to be reelected some time. Mr.. Mitch
ell remarked that such proposition
was not troubling him in the shight-
est.
