JUDGE HANCOCK has it down fine
for Galveston. Referring to divers
and sundry things, the judge says:
"To take a Casual look at this move
one would suppose that its object was
to secure deep water at Galveston,
but if you would examine carefully
you would find that this move is only
gotten up for the purpose of creating
another source of revenue for a lot of
land sharks who inhabit Galveston
island. Galveston, to come to the
facts, does not want deep water. for if
1T was left to vote Of the people of
Galveston whether they would have
deep water or no water, at least two
thirds of the vote would be against
deepening the channel across Calves
ton bar"
The judge will be accepted in south
west and west Texas as mighty good
authority on this subject.

GENERAL RICHARD TAYLOR, OF
the confederate army, writing to a
northern friend during the early re-
construction period said:
1--WE made two great mistakes. Had
we avoided them we should have con-
quered you. The first was, that we did
not substantially destroy the protec-
tive features of the tariff III the winter
session of 1857 and 1858, by an act
which provided a rapid sliding scale
to free trade. We could have
passed sucn law and held it tight on
YOU till it closed the furnaces, work
shops, wooden and cotton mills, and
steel and bar-irOn works of the whole
north and west, and scattered your
workmen over the prairies and terri
tories. When the war was ready Tor
you, you would not have been ready
for the war. You could not have
armed and equipped and put into the
field large army, nor built large
navy. You would have been without
supplies, machinery and workmen,
you have been without money and
credit"
If that would have been the legiti-
mate and logical effect of destroying
a protective tariff thirty years ago, it
devolves upon the free trade democ-
racy. who were with Gen. Taylor in
the rebel army, to rise and explain
why or how the result will be differ
ent in 1855. Is there concerted
scheme on foot among the democracy
now to reduce the north to cOndi-
ton of dependency on Great Britain
in order to southern ACKNOWLEDGEMENT.

The Gillespie county News has this
to say concerning the building mate
rial of Gillespie county:
"Gillespie county has rock enough,
of various grades viz: limestone, gran
lite, marble, soap-stOne, asbestos, and
many others, to furnish implements
to several thousands hands. if we only
had railroad facilities to transfer
some to points where it could be
used"
No dearth of the finest building
stone in western and south western
Texas. The time is at hand when the
resources of these counties should be
made known. Pay up your county

immigration society and let the re-
sources of south west Texas be pub

Stay At Home


|
The Shelby Sentinel has very SEN
sible exhortation to the people OF
Kentucky to stay at home. For years
past there has been a restless feeling
among the farmers of Kentucky,
especially the young ones, which has
resulted in many of them moving |
West. The glowing stories OF the
great fortunes made in Kansas and |
Texas have allured many a well-to do
farmer into selling his Kentucky
farm and moving TO a new country.
The result has almost universally
been disastrous. There is no better
farm land OH the face of the globe
than in Kentucky, and there is no
place in the world where Kentuck-
ian will be wholly satisfied. Ken
lucky has not been progressive State
it is true, and the growth and devel-
opmentof our cities have notbeen what
they should be, but If these facts were
arguments in favor of moving West
in the past they are so no longer.
Kentucky Is now enjoying a bigger
boom than any State in the West.
New people are coming here by the
thousands, and in the next two years
millions Of dollars will be invested
here New railroads are being
opened, the mining sections of the
State are being developed and the
cities are all growing and flourish
ing. There will be great home
market here for the products of the
farm, and kentuckians ought to con-
slider before they move. The Senti
| mel gives good advice when it says
at is especially sad to see them
move just at this time when Ken
lucky is Offering such fair induce
ments when her wonderful resources
are Just beginning TO be developed. ="
"Our State has more foundation
for real and lasting boom than
those others which are attracting our
people. From these States we hear
of the wonderful fortunes which
have been made, but they do not hear
of the equally wonderful sacrifices
which have been necessary to secure
them, or of the many failures. Prince
ly fortunes have been made, but chief
~ in speculation, and fortunes lost,
E but the man who is forced TO win his
bread by the work of his hands and
earn his sustenance from the soil led
comfortless life and been, on the
whole, not so successful as the aver
age man who has remained at home
awe beseech those of our friends
who are contemplating emigrating to
hold awhile and look around them
: Let them study the wonderful pro-
gress in Kentucky and observe the
; giant strides she is making. Lei
them calculate well the chances be-
fore taking the decisive step ; let them
ponder the railroad situation and
note the influx of capital, and if they
are discerning men we have no feaI
of the result"
"There is more chance for making
fortunes in kentucky to-day than in
any other State. There is more
chance for development and improve
!, ment in land values. Kentucky has
/, been a long time in the rear, and 1t il
not surprising that some of her citi.
zens have grown restless and moved
away. But our day has come. The
Money Devil is in our mountains, and
, his agents are everywhere throughout
the State. lie has come here TO stay
and the Kentnckians had far better
catch on to his tail while he can then

clutches upon her and for seven years
she withstood its severest tests, but
her vital organs were undermined

three months she coughed incessant-

among them that the Exposition will
prove such an attraction that they would

of the craft, however, contend that the

they argue, will be of such magnitude
as will repay them for keeping up at

No matter how the question is decided,

cures the disease of the lungs.
That is all there is of it.
The cough is an evidence of a vast
