A few years ago an aged negro
named Abel, died in Walla Walla'
He was, says the Union, another
victim Of the March incendiary fire.
He had been sick for some time, but
was on the way to recovery, but be-

doors and caught cold, since which
time he has rapidly failed until

The promptness of the presidents
nomination of Gen. George Crook to
| be maior-general in the army on the
retirement Of Gen. Terry is a
sufficient indication that he had no
doubt whatever that the succession
was fairly due to him. Gen. Crook
is the senior in rank among the six
brigadier-generals, and while there
was a vague rumOr current that the
president might possibly go outside
this list and select the head of one
Of the staff departments for the
vacancy twas extremely improbable
that anything of that sort would be
done. Since every one Of the six
department commanders is more
than competent for any duty that
could possibly he imposed on Il
major-general, and each of them
exercised such command during
the war and would well merit
promotion to that grade, there was
abuntant reason for selecting the
ranking officer of their number for
Gen. Terry's vacancy. Gen. Crook .
is an officer of wide experience and
national celebrity, who has been
i'm active service since
his graduation from West Point in
1852. Indeed his career during the
civil war has been supplemented by
exceptional activity i'm Indian
lostilities and negotiations during
the past twenty years which have
given him unusual prominence

Key-N oteS,

The republican keynote, as supplied
by Mr.. Blaine, is that wages can be voted
up or voted down. "The wages Of Amer. =
can labor" he proclaims, "cannot be
reduced except with the consent and the
votes of the American laborer himself"
There is not an intelligent workingman
in the United States but knows this is
ridiculous nonsense. The wages of
American laborers have been reduced
many times under the "hiShest tariff in
the world" not only without their consent
and vote, but against their energetic
protest and determined strikes. Trades
unions and other labor organizations
have done more to force up and keep up
wages than have all the laws that were
ever passed. The democratic keynote is
that taxes which were voted up TO meet
the heavy expenditures of war should be
voted down to meet the lessened require
ments of peace. Taxes have been voted
up and down. Wages never were. Let
workiugmen choose between fustian ard
facts and relieve themselves Of upneces-
sary taxation.-New York World.

REPUBLICAN POW-WOW.
Conflicting Opinions Among the
Very Able Patriots.
A Straight Ticket to be Fut IN
the Field by a State
Convention.

The committee of thirty appointed by
the republican convention at its Forl
Worth session to meet and put sate
ticket in the field, if thought advisable,
assembled in this city yesterday with
twenty two members present.
They met iu secret session in the district
court reom, and for several hours dis
cussed the situation.
Several of the members spoke in favor
of recommending Governor Ross to the
republicans, as to put stright ticket in
the field, they urged, was simply to be
Overwhelmingly defeated.
One or two others suggested that
Marion Martin was about the proper man
to vote for, as it would aid in reducing the
democratic majorities, and possibly in
some counties the combination would
assist in the defeat of the local democracy.
1t was anything or anybody to defeat
democrats an reduce the democratic
majority throughout the state.
A large majority of the committee,
however, favored putting out q straight
ticket, and it would doubtless have been
done had not very serious difficulty
stared the able body square in the face.
This difficulty was the fact that about
all the available material for first class
true-blue dyed-in-the-woo republican
ticket was IN the committee, and to have
nominated themselves would have been
destruction and caused some lofty aud
ground tumbling within their own party
which is already sorely rent and torn by
internal discussions.
What could the able committee do I'M
der such circumstances?
Nothing at all except to call
state convention to do tne
nominating, and a resolution
to that effest was passed with but one
dissenting voice, that of Mr.. Osterhaut,
who favored, it is understood, Governor
Ross.
The resolution instructed Col. j. G. De-
Gress, chairman of the republican state
executive committee, to call the meeting
at Fort Worth for some day next month,
and he will probably do so day.

GEN. GUsTAvUS w. SMITH
Final Passage Of the Measure Re-
moving HIS Disabilities.

Gen. Gustavus W. Smith, of New York
will within ten days be once more citi-
zen of his native country with all the
privileges of citizenship. The senate
passed to-day without division the
measure for which General Smith has
been hoping so long, removing his polit-
ical disabilities and it now requires moth
ing but the signature of the president to
give it the force CT law.
General Gustavus W. Smith was form
erly of the confederate service. He was
born in the state of Kentucky in 1921. In
1888 he was appointed from his native
state to West Point academy and gradu-
ated in 1912, entering the United States
regular army with the brevet rank of sec.
ond lieutenant of engineers and obtained
the full rank of second lieutenant in 1845
while holding the position of an acting
assistant professor of engineering at the
United states Military academy. When
the Mexican war broke out he threw up
the professorship, in 1916, end took the
field under General Scott.
After the war Lieutenant Smith was
engaged on the coast defensea, and OBJ

The newest coats for fall are of gray

CONDITION OF COTTON.
The Plant Reported in Sound
Health and Vlgor.

The August report of the department
of agriculture shows a small reduction in
condition of cotton in the Oarolinas, Ala
bama and Louisiana, and an advance in
Florida, Texas, Arkansas and Tennessee
The averages of Georgia ANA Mississippi
are unchanged. The general average is
S7,3, against S6.7 a month ago and 1913
last August. The figures by states are:
Virginia, 81; North Carolina, 80; South
Carolina, "a; Georgia, 80; Florida, 80;
Alabama, 80; Mississippi, 80; Louisiana,
80; Texas, 70; Arkansas, 80; Tennessee, 80.
There has been an excess of rain until
recently. Drought of short duration is
locally indicated on the Atlantic coast and
on the gulf coast east OF the Mississippi
West of the Mississippi, in northern Mis-
sissippi and Western Tennessee, rains
have been frequent and abundant, and the
growth of the plant is from medium to
large. East of the state of Mississippi
the plant is comparatively small. In
nearly the entire breadth the development
is represented as later than usual, though
picking was about to commence in the
lower attitudes.
Cotton is almost without exception re-
ported in sound health and vigor, with as
little shedding of leaves aud forms as is
mentioned in the most successful seasons.
There is little rust, but not serious ex-
cept in few counties, mostly in Georgia
and Alabama, where the "black rust" pre-
walls in certain localities.
The caterpillar is present very generally
in the southern half of the lower tier of
states, but is doing no injury except in a
county or two in Florida. 1t is not much
dreaded, being kept in limited numbers
by poisoning. The boil worm is in some
counties of Texas.

San Antonio International Fair.

The Reporter has been informed by Mr..
John L. Dickinson, secretary OF the San
Antonio International fair, San Antonio,
Tex, that work on the grounds and build
ings of the Fair association goes bravely
on. In a very few weeks the world will
commence 20 hear more about San Antonio
and southwest Texas than has ever been
known before. Secretary Dickinson feels
confident that there will be as large a
gathering of fine race stock at the San
Antonio fair this year as will be at any
other fair held in the south during 1888.
There Will be an excellent exhibit of the
resources of southwest Texas, and it is ex-
pected that Mexico will make an effort to
surpass the Americans by showing up the
marvellous products of our sister republic.
The president, secretary and directors of
the San Antonio International fair have
the ability to make grand success of the
enterprise, if they want to. Keep your
selves busy, gentlemen, with this fair, and
the returns will pay we'll.
