THE WOOL FIGHT IS ON.

The wool growers are showing some
signs of waking up to their interests
in congress, and meeting of the
Wool Growers association will be
called to counterfeit the effect of I'M
friendly influences at work in Wash
ington TO secure such classification OF
woods as will permit large reduction
on present schedules. The minority
report against the Mills bill was ex-
ceedingly clear in its utterances
against any tinkering with the wool
tariff unless the "fence were tighten
ed" If the enemies of the wool grow
er propose to leave down the bars, it
is high time that knowledge was had
of that fact and provision made ac-
cordingly. Public sentiment has
changed on this subject since LIGHT
representative was hOwled down in
San Antonio meeting for asking that
a memorial from this city go on to con-
gress against the proposed reductions
of the Mills bill. Thousands of demo
Gratis who voted for Mills and Sayers
are very ready now to act in concert
with their more intelligent wool grow
ing neighbors and keep the wool-wolf
in congress out of the fold. This sem
ate bill will not become law this ses-
sion, there is little prospect of that,
but the wool men need to stir them
selves or they will come out shorn.
The overwhelmingly democratic vote
of Texas, the great wool growing state,
is a potent argument i'll the
mouth of the free wool fiend to prove
that the wool growers of this state do
not want protection. 1t will be no
light matter to compel defense of an
industry in congress which received
no defense at the hands of its own
guild in so critical moment of its
history. In Texas, as is well known,
the fight on wool turned the votes OF
whole counties but the verdict of the
increased democratic vote goes, and
is accepted as proof that Texas is sat
isfied with the free trade movements
of the Cleveland democracy, All the
same, there Is still danger to wool in
dustries and the friends of protection
to wool in the abstract and in the con-
crete, in the text of the bill and in
the classified tions determining the
value of the schedule, there friends
must be on the alert or while other
industries are saved from the ravages
of foreign opposition this one will
suffer from Australian and South
American competition to it's own in
evitable destruction.

ARKANSAS PASS EUCHRED.

The river and harbor bill has been
reported to the house of representa-
tives. So far as Texas is concerned,
the appropriations are as follows: En-
trance to Galveston harbor, $500, 900;
Sabine Pass and Blue Buck bar, $780,
900; Arkansas Pass, $4,000. So much
for interstate deep water conventions.
Arkansas Pass gets the pitiful sum of
S65, 900, while Sabine Pass receives the
very credtable sum of $150,0OO. The
reason for this it is not difficult to UNI
derstand. The permanent committee
of the deep water convention, to whom
was relegated the whole work of
formulating and presenting to the
country the action of the Denver con-
vention, went sqharely back of the
spirit and temper and resolutions of
the convention, and in their Dallas
meeting did all that was in their
power to turn the drift of appropria-
tions elsewhere. Sabine Pass was the
choice Of the president of that conven-
tion, bl, his ear was turned at Denver
to the Woo Of the Galveston Wharf
company's attorney, and it was not
turned away at Dallas. AS a result,
Galveston gets nearly five-fold the APP
preparation given Arkansas Pass and
Sabine gets nearly three-fOld. Aran-
sas Pass, left out in the cold
for years until nearly all the work &C
cOmplished left in its unfinished state
has been more or less damaged, gets
SIS, 900. The only port in Texas to-
wards which interior commerce is ac-
tually tending and for the handling of
which railway lines are multiplying
all over the southern section of the
state, extending northward through
the Panhandle into Colorado and
southwark into Mexico, is put off with
500, 900 while Sabine Pass secures
$3.50, 900. The eastern sea coast line
of the state gets S450,000, while the
only Texas port in the western end of
the gulf which applies gets $4,000,
One-seventh of the appropriation made
for the eastern gulf ports. When all
the facts are taken into consideration,
this one-sided and unfair distribution
of government aid to harbors on the
Texas coast is enough to arouse pro-
test from every honest man in the ma
ton. Is this the penalty that the
Tenth congressional district of Texas
pays for daring to put republican
nomination in the field in opposition
to the democra tic nobody who has al
lowed the interests of this section of
Texas to 60 by the board for the past
four years? 1t looks mighty like it,
but the end will come of such work
and then Arkansas Pass will receive
the consideration that her Importance
demands.

THE Fort Worth Gazette tries to ape
the old ass in the lions skin, as
recorded in ti.o ancient fable, when it
puts out such Draying as the follow
ing:
1.-THE comment of the republican
press is that Cleveland's message is
the snarl of defeated candidate. A
snarl, it will be remem bered, is al
ways an indication of danger; bull
dogs snarl, puppies bark. When the
lion of democracy begins to show his
teeth, the safest measure for the re-
publican party is to Chamber over the
garden wall"
The republican party climbed oyer
the garden wall and hustled the de-
mocracy out last November. 1t has
taken a lease of the garden for several
terms and the Gazette may as we'll
figure OH the facts.

NO ANNEXATION NEEDED.

Boston has an organization having
for it's object the encouragement of
the annexation of Canada to the
United States. The big bean city may
have uses for Canada unknown to the
rest of the union but this government
has no use for Canada. That country
has an immense debt, is not by any
means settled upon her own internal
policy, is at grave differences of
opinion concerning the general gov
eminent in its relation to the several
provinces, and there is open rupture
between the far northwestern prov
inces and the maratime provinces.
Threats of secession are freely in
dulged in by some Of the provinces
particularly those lying outward,
and there is by no means happy
family IN the dominion that lies over
on the other side. Uncle Sam had
better keep hands off and harmonic
his own foreign born citizens with
the institutions and ideas of
the republic instead of taking
in more territory and complicating
the situation by adding new people
and new ideas of government before
those already within our borders are
unified with our institutions. This
country is sufficiently vast in extent
for all present purposes. The work
Of the next quarter of century
should be work of Capitalization
and education. The nation is not
homogeneous There are many
things that threaten division and a
weakening Of the forces of popular
government. There is much to be
settled at home before seeking to eX-
tend our territory abroad, and that is
not wise policy which would look to
things more remote before caring for
and adjusting those which are nearer
our hand. Some prominent states
men have taken ground lately in IA
vor of annexation. The policy does not
seem to be wise in view Of the adjust
ments needed at home. Neither

WATTERSON says that the colored
voter is no more qualified to exercise
the electoral franchise than an
omang-outang, and yet the democrats
wonder why the colored voter sticks
to the republican party. Judging
from the gospel of democracy as ex-
pounded by the star-eyed Henry,
there is no political salvation there
for a colored voter, and the only
reason why he was not DISTINGUISHED
long ago is that Henry has not been
able to have his own way in this mat
er.
THE Dallas Times Herald takes to
itselfin- wind as doth balloon, and
fated with its vn gas, belches forth
the following:
San AntoliJ lad 2 fair-just did
have one. Iha great southwestern
part of the st : ought to and will
have fair, bL the fact is no longer
disputed thHt p3lF ut Dallas can a
fair be held which can paralyZe all
things in the fair line"
This self Qualification of the Herald
is very much out of place for city
that took four years to put its fair up
on a paying basis. The elements alone
prevented the first year of the San
Antonio exposition from being sig
nal success. Dallas first year was no
more to be compared to it as gen.
uine exposition than diminutive
African is to a dark night. 1t was only
by the unfortunate combination OF
cold and wet weather, such as the
state has seldom been afflicted with at
that season Of the year, that the Her
aid man was enabled to find a shadow
of justification in his pessimistic soul
for the very ill-natured and splenetiC
screed above quoted. Had such wealth
er visited Dallas the first or second
year of its fair there would have been
no more heard of the Dallas state fail
for quarter of a century. The LIGHT
is glad that Dallas has been favored
with good, fair weather, and also glad
that there are no souls in San Antonio
mean enough to rejoice over the unfor.
tunate event had San Antonio fail
weather prevailed during the Dallas
meeting. The fact is not disputed
that San Antonio held the best first
fair meeting ever known in Texas, nor
is it disputed that the Herald man for
pure gall and unmitigated effrontery
can paralyze anything in Texas. You
may swear that a nitrO-glycerine can
made from the cheek of this Herald
man could never be fairly busted.
