THE SURPLUS.
Bow Some of 1t Gould BE Spent to Advan-
tags In Irrigation.

BOW some OF Ie OCulu DC SponL TO AOSdu-
tage in Irrigation.
FORT WORTH, TEX, April II, 1888.
To the Editor of the Gazette.
The present surplus Of Texas, like that
of Uncle Sam, seems to worry some peo-
pie, but with proper represe ntatiVes
think the matter could be very easily
settled and reduced to good advantage
and a blessing to the voters OF the state.
For instance, there are thousands OF acres
of land in West Texas that could be
made fertile and productive by irrigation.
Why then not spend few thousands by
way of an investment, in the Pecos valley
canal? We are told by scientists that
rainfalls increase with the settlement OF
the country, which may be true, but if
we wait on the settlement it will be a
long time settling; but give the people
water to insure them yearly crop and
there will be but little trouble in
getting them started; then we can
notice q change in the immigration
at once. We are all bowling for
them, but have as yet offered
these people (should they Gomez nothing
more than fine dry climate, with plenty
of cheap lands, on forty years time, etc.
l think, if not mistaken, that PROPOSE
ton wss made to cur last Legislature by
q company to build canal or ditch, but
the move fell through for want Of en-
coursgement. l think in 8 move like
this that all sections to be Watered
should appeal to their representatives,
now that they are called in extra session,
and see il we cannot get the thing
started, and il we cannot get twenty
miles OF it built, try Ave or ten miles IS
an experiment. 81
have written to one CT our repEesen-
tative friends from East Texas, with re-
gsrds to above, and trust sill others who
can take an interest in the matter will do
likewise. Z.

WESTERN TEXAS and he1'railroads will
stand by each other and 60 right along
together; we are partners. There may
be little friction at times, but well bal
laced men and good machinery can
stand little friction, and these frictions
can be overcome to great extent by OIL.
Cheap coal is the oil wanted now to over
come this friction.

HOW TO REDUCE A SUPPL US.
Those United States Congressman who
belong to the Republican high tariff side
OF both houses, should watch the action
of the Texas Legislature now in session.
They can get pointers iii they would only
use them) from the Texans. There is an
immense surplus in the Texas treasury,
and the people OF the state demand its re-
duction. There is an immense surplus in
the United States treasury, TOO, which the
people OF the whole country believe
ought TO be reduced. When the Demo-
Gratis in Congress set to work to try in
good faith to bring about reduction, the
Republicans and high tariff men stand in
the way. They are willing to spend the
money, but not to reduce the tariff taxes
that create the surplus, making it bigger
year by year. 1t is well enough to put 8
surplus to wise use, but it is no relief if
the causes that create It are left untouched.
High taxes, unnecessary taxes, are not
wholly responsible for the size Of the
Texas surplus, but in so far IS they ihave
been instrumental in creating the cash
balance they will be dealt with and re-
adjusted in the interest and for the relief
of the people who pay the taxes. Con-
gressmen should watch how Texas goes
to work on such a matter. The Texas
theory is that the way to reduce is-to
reduce. II taxation produces more rev
enue than the state requires taxation will
be lowered. Il would be blessed thing
for the people of the United States If the
Texas idea could prevail in Congress, for
1t Is unnecessary taxation-tarif taKa-
tion-that places the surplus in the ma
tional Treasury.

The Winter Wheat Crop.
ITS CONDITION As SHOWN BIZ REPORTS TO THE NORTH
WESTERN NIILBRn

MIsNEAP0LIs, MIMI, Feb. 24.-The Northwestern
Miller to-day publishes review OF the condition
OF the winter wheat crop. compiled from extensive
reports Following Is u summary: "There has
been decided change In the weather conditions
OF the winter wheat district since Feberuary 10.
With the exception OF some small areas in Micni-
gan and the states OF Pennsylvania and New York
the entire crop Is now bare OF snow. From the
18th TO the 10Th instant there was more or less
the 10Th beautiful spring like weather followed by
a very sudden and severe freeze. The prospects
now are that there is an entire difference In the
coming out OF the early and the late snow wheat,
and this season this will cut a much more I'm
portant figure in the crop than usual, for the
reason that q very large percentage OF the crop
was sown late. We are now In the midst OF the
first critical period Of the trials and struggles OF
the winter Of 1887 and 1883. The movement OF
winter wheat, while II has been small far during
February out Of farmers hands, is even smaller al
present than at any time since harvest, with no
probability Of any change until we have some
nnal outcome OF the crop. From the region south
OF the Ohio reports are generally favorable, the
Texas crops being In the best condition.
Leaving the territory south OF the Ohio River,
and commencing east OF New York, where they
have had general thaw, we still md considerable
snow on the wheat. and, 80 far, no complaints as
TO the condition OF the crop. This area, cOmpris-
ing Michigan, Indiana, Illinois, yielded In 1857
In round numbers, 132, 100000 bushels OF wheat,
and Ii the most important portion OF the winter
wheat belt. The reports from these states bring
wheat to-day Is In Q weakly condition. 1t looks
to-day as II the condition OF wheat in Kansas was
better than In any other state In the winter wheat

the stand this morning after the court had sus-
tained the states objection tn his telling where
the money with which he paid Breitingsr and 9TH
ers came from. II did not come from the county
treasury, but he presumed that 1t would not have
been placed In his hands II he had not been prose-
cutting attorney. He had no knowledge
OF Cranvflle's having been promised
any further sum OF money. Senator Thurman
made vigorous protest against this endeavOr to
Try the prosecuting attorney, and was heartily ap-
plauded by the audience. Allen U. Myers was
called next. He had known AlgermOn Granville
since 1884 but utterly denied the Incident referred
TO by that Witness Granville testified that Myers
had rushed up the stairs on the sunday night OF
the forgery and exclaimed that John X. Mclean
must be elected TO the United states Senate aLy
cost; that the returns had been liked In Hamilton
County before the election, but they must be fixed
In this county after the election Myers denied the

edge Of any attempt TO defeat the viii OF the

THE COTTON.SEED OIL TRUST.
An Investigation Of ft Begun fn New
York Desplte Objections.


NEW YORK, Feb. 24.-The Senate investigating
committee took up the cotton-seed Oil trust to-day.
This trust made no effort to conceal its real status
Before the examination of witnesses was begun,
Lawyer Elihu Root, on behalf OF the trust objected
to the investigation on these grounds: '1he trust
has only to do with cotton-seed Oil; cotton-seed
grown or the oil produced In this state; the
pOration was not formed in the state, but In
Arkansas; only three OF the nine trustees liv in
this state; no combination or agreement has been
made in this state cottOnSeed Oil Is not an article
OF general consumption; II is not within the scope
OF The committee to investigate the trusts the
mittee has no more 10 do with the trust than ii
would have with Connecticut wooden mill or a
The committee Overruled the objections and
called John Scott, one OF the trustees to the wit
ness stand. He said: "There are 20 or 80 COM
panies In the trust; last years crop was 100000
tons, oil which the company controlled 100000
tons; 21k per cent or the Oil was exported. The
balance was used for soap, safety lamps FOR
miners, and as a lubricate. The several firms
make monthly reports, which are Investigated by
employees OF the trust"
The capital stock OF the trust is nxed at SAL
100000 nOminally. A dividend OF per cent has
been declared As the stock sold for 81 per cent,
the dividend was actually about IL per cent. The
combined stock OF The companies entering the
combine was less than half OF the stock OF the
trust. Witness thought that since the formation
OF the trust In 1885 the price OF cotton seed had
risen. Al that time the mills We're on the verge OF
bankruptcy and some OF them had shut down.
