FELLOW CITIZENS: My brother Wilson
is altogether mistaken when he says that
Cleveland didn't pocket the labor bills that
allude to. My brother f,rgets that the
bills mentiore were bills that We pissed
in the Forty-Ninth Congress, and not the
Fitch Congress. Applaute The Ar
bitration Bill passed on the % h day Of
February, 1885. 1t went down the avenue

MORMONISM IN THE SOUTH.
Systematic POselyting has Gained
Them Many Converts.

Mormon elders are still industriously
working in some of the Southern States
to make women converts, notwithstand.
Ing the efforts that are made TO exclude
them. The abandonment of work in
one section is followed by renewed eff
forts IN another, and every now and
then, squad of converts is gathered at
Chattanooga and sent to Utah.
Before the war, a few Mormon mis-
sionaries began their PROSECUTING work
in the south, but they did not make
much progress. Soon after the war,
they resumed it, but in a spasmodic
way, and it was not until ten or twelve
years ago that they began to push it
vigorously and Systematically. Head
quarters were established at Chatta-
nooga, with Elder John Morgan in
charge, and emissaries sent into vari-
Gus sections of Tennessee and North
Carolina, where numbers of simple
minded people were induced to embrace
Mormonism. Finally, the more intel
ligent citizens drove the elders out of
these communities, and North Georgia
was chosen by Elder Morgan as mis-
sionary ground. 1t was not very long
before the people there were aroused to
opposition, and again the elders sum-
MARTY left, but not before they had
gained a considerable number of con-
Verts.
Northeast Alabama was then selected, ,
and the Counties of Clay, Cleburne and
in Randolph the elders have succeeded in
establishing their largest mission. For
this territory John Mootry, who moved
to Utah from Randolph County, about
twenty years ago. and finally became an
elder, and six other elders were chosen.
Their success has been such as to cause
alarm. When driven from other Sc c.
tions, the missionaries did not resent
the rough treatment they received, but
they have become SO strong in that
section that they defy the better classes
of the people to force them to leave.
Though driven out of other States,
they have not abandoned them. They
still select their territory, and work it
until forced to leave. There is no law
to prevent them from preaching Nor
monism.
The people of any community, in
order to get rid of them, have to resort
to harsh and unlawful means. This
they have done several times, and on
more than one occasion with fatal re-
sults.-SaYannah NetpS.

ST. LOUIS SELECTED.

After all the arguments advanced before
the national democratic committee by
friends of New York, Chicago and San
Francisco, it is doubtful if a better point
than st. Louis could have been selected
for holding the national convention.
With all the telegraph, railroad, public
hall, hotel ard other facilities offered by
the metropolis of the east and her
sister of the lakes. St. Louis sur
passes both in central location
and ready accessibility from all
parts of the country. Again, it is a demo
critic city, and, as was truly remarked by
Senator Vest before the committee, it is a
bad policy to "feed republican cities on
democratic sponge cakes" which would
have been the case, had the convention
gone to Chicago.
While the selection of st. Louis is q
graceful concession to the growing west
it is equally a compliment to the
outh. The choice is advantageous to
all sections of tie national democratic
party, and therefore working injury to
none. In the final vote of the committee
yesterday, the idea of locality having any
influence on the outcome of the coming
canvass was very properly discarded. The
holding of the convention at San Fran
cisco would have affected result, in No
vember about as little as if Chicago, Gin
cinna,i or New York had been selected
The campaign will be fought on great
principles, nor will it turn either on per-
sonal fortunes or the accident of To-
cality.

New Forage Plants,

The commissioner of agriculture, Nor
man j. Coleman, issues the fol owing: :
"rhe introduction of new plants krown to

the department to distribute seeds in
greater quantity than is required for the

Work For the State to Do.

That there should have been mistakes
made at the Dallas immigration cOnven-
tion is not surprising when we consider
the short time given to evolve plans for
so great an undertaking, and set the ma
chinery in motion. The whole state saw
the necessity of taking early steps to
present Texas to the world in her true
liz hit in order to secure immigration and
capital. Too long already had Texas re
NAMED self-satisfed, dormant and indif-
feren mt in regard to this important matter.
With constitution inimical to immi-
grafton, growing hostility to railroads
among the people and constant misrepre
seGtation by the press abroad, the idea
was rapidly becoming fixed in the mind
of the great wOr, d beyond the confines of
our state that Texas was virtually closed
against newcomers and the stream of
immigration coursed on, scarcely touch
ing our shores, or only to pass through
and beyond.
A state organization was effected and
clothed with the powers and parapherna
liza for grand work, an executive COM
mittee of seven as good and we'll qualified
men as could be found in the state, elected
to direct the affairs of the State associa
tion, and only the paltry sum of few
hundred dollars given them to go to work
with. Their hands were tied. They could
neither devise nor execute any effective
plans to accomplish the object for which
the association was formed.
The fact is that as yet only about two
thirds of the 500 assessment has been
paid in for the use of the committee and
none of the $500 assessment. Fifty
Thousand dollars should have been raised
for immediate use by the executive com
mittee, and they could then have gone
forward and inauguratrd plans that would
have been a credit to the great state of
Texas. For Texas to run a ten cent side
show is not in keeping either with her
colossal proportions or the broad, liberal
views of her people. The members of the
committee are giving their time and con-
sideration to what thy regard as a public
trust, fraught with great benefits to the
people of Texas, and the journal does
not believe that there is man on that
board who would form for himself con.
nection with any enterprise that repre-
scented so little capital for the accom-
plishment of so great an undertaking.

MOUTH OF THE BRAZoS.

The people OF Texas are casting about
for an outlet to the highways of the gulf,
an outlet through which their commerce
can pass in bottoms of the largest tom
nPge, and also untrammelled by wharf
companies or other embargoes. Nobody
in this part OF the state is particular as to
what point will afford US deep water, so
we get it. II II can be- gotten at Calves
ton, 30 mach the better, and we shall all
be glad of it. But if the jetty system on
Gslveston's outer bar, which was almost
completed by Colonel Mansfield, should
be put through, and prove failure, it
being only experimental, saen Texas
must look TO other points. Among these
are Arkansas Pass, Padre Island, aud last,
but not least, the mouth of the Brazos.
As 70 the last mentioned, it will be re-
membered that the International and
Cheat Northern Railroad company, before
its Incorporation into the Gould system,
had serious intentions Of getting deep
water at the Brazos river bar, and deep
water there would give thirty feet by the
river TO the old and historic town of
Columbia. At the instance OF the com
paDy surveys by government engineers
we're made and are now on record.
While these surveys show that

nlant for the dry regions from Colorado
and New Mexico to southern California,
where it makes its growth during tne
moist winter season. 1t should NOT DC
sowa in the eastern portion OF the united
States, as there are better forage plants
for that section of the country, and, as
when introduced there, it becomes
somewhat troublesome weed. For the
great southwest, however, it has much
merit, and there is large de-
mand for its seed TO be sown
nnon the ranges where the supply of
grass has been diminished by stock. One
stock raiser applied to the department to
know where he could obtain a supply of
seed TO SOW in places upon his ranch of
10000 acres. Prof. S. NJ. Tracy, who has
been investigating the forage plants of
the arid regions of tho southwest the past
season, in the interest OF the department,
reports that slfiaria Is highly priced
wherever he has been, and that the people
have frequent requests for seed TO be sent
into new localities.
Teosinte-This remarkably luxuriant
Central American forage plant Is destined
to be exceedingly popular throughout the
southern states as soon as seed can be OF
taiqed.
Bermuda grass-The little seed which
has been sold in this country of this well
known southern grass has all been i'm
ported, and has been so high In price,
and often so poor in quality, that people
have bought it sparingly. Its artificial
propagation has been mostly by slow
method of planting the sets or fragments
of the roofing stems. The grass has, how
ever, been found to seed fairly well in
some localities, and an effort should be
made to introduce home grown seed into
the market.
