TREASURER LUBBOCK AND THE
CASH.

TREASURER LUBBOCK AND THE
CASH.
The Texas Safe Treasury contains, in
round numbers, s2,S50, 600 cash. It is an
immense sum and will prove an attract
i've theme for legislative oratory during
the session now at hand. 1t need SCARCE
ly be said there are all sorts OF sugges-
tions and plans for the disposition Of this
money, not the least audacious OF which
is the proposition of certain Farmers
Alliance people in EASTERN Texas that the
state shall lend 8 million dollars of the
sum to Texas farmers, st 8 low rate OF
interest, to help farmers along these hard
times. 1t is not these suggestions, how
ever, that is in mind just now. The
Legislature will deal with the cash bal
ance and there will be no difficulty about
getting rid OF as much of 1t as the people
want TO let 60. WHAT Is desired to speak
of here is the sensitiveness OF Uncle Frank
Lubbock, the State Treasurer, concern
ing the vast store of gold, silver and pa
per in his keeping. The Houston Post
says that Unc e Frank has been so wor-
ried by newspaper criticisms concerning
the cash and himself that he is going to
ask the Legislature, while i. Is in extra
session, TO examine his books snd &C.
counts and count the money. He wants
the people of Texas to know he is honest,
and that every dollar Of money that ought
to be in the Treasury is there. The jeal-

The Only Honest Protection.

Philadelphia Evening Call.
The question Of the tariff should be
one, and is honestly one, OF wages only.
The tariff should be just so high, and no
higher, as to protect American against
European labor. That is the only "pro-
lection" needed in this country Having
thus "protected" the American labor en-
gagged in manufacturing industries, it
should "protect" the otner more exten-
sive American labor no. employed in
manufacturing industries BY giving it an
opportunity to buy everything 1t needs st
the lowest possible price, and not compel
it, as OF present, to buy Of monopolists,
trusts or combinations. A tariff that will
honestly protect American labor IN sill
directions, and be sufficient for the honest
and economical administration of the
government, is the Only tariff needed in
this country.

Farming Undtr Low ana Sigh rarin.


Congressman KGute Nelson Of Mime
, sofa made some telling points in his
speech on the tariff last week. We do
not wonder that Mr. NELSON'S Repu blican
associates tried to howl him down. His
departure from the usual2 Republlcsn line
on the tariff WAS c1lculsted to make the
dry bones rattle, and 1t did. One of the
most interesting portions of the speech
was that which referred to the low tarf
period from 1916 to 1860. Mr.. Nelson
referred to the well known fact that dur
ing the operation Of the Walker tsriff the
country enjoyed the greatest general pros
perity 1t has ever known. No class of Our
population realized more decided
benefits from that tariff than
the farmers. In those days
the money OF the country
was in the hands OF farmers. Strange as
1t may seem now, 1t WAS common thing
for merchants to borrow money from
their country customers. The average
yisld of cotton then WAS not much over
three bales to the hand. How does the
case stand now? The average yield OF
cotton is st lesst three times IS much to
the hand as It WAS before the war. The
price of cotton is better On the average
than 1t was then. Aud yet we now have
poverty and mortgages among the farm
ers instead Of the prosperity and wealth
which they enjoyed in the low tariff
period. This In spite Of the fact that
their LABOR now costs them less, that is
on an average three times as productive
as it was then.

MR.. BONNER'S LETTER.

Elsewhere in this issue of THE GAzETTR
will be found letter from Hon. T. Z.
Bonner of Tyler, in reply to various
letters and interviews which hsve been
industriously parsded in advocacy of
"heart Of oak" plank in the next Demo-
cratic state platform. Colonel Bonner's
letter Is the natural sequence of these
demands from the "heart Of oak" edvo-
Gates, and unless the latter gentlemen
cease forcing the issue within the party
It's harmony will be imperiled. THE
GAZETTE has deprecated sucl discussion
as not only unnecessary but as inimical
to party unity, and this retort of Colonel
Bonner, finally provoked by the let
tiers from the other side, Is but
an indication OF the internecine
war that will result from g
continuance OF the discussion. The state
platform of 1886 left state prohibition as
non-psrtizsn question to be settled &C.
cording to individual Judgment; thus
submitted, prohibition was buried in Au-
gust under M jority so emphatic that It's
resurrection as q state issue IS not posi-
BILE for decade or two; this is presi-
dental year when national issues take
precedence; the Republicans are organ
ICED for battle; the Prohibitionists, per Sc,
are conducting G Chinese gong method o.
warfare in ORDER 10 friphten Demo-
Gratis into platform declaration sgainst
prohibition that shall imperil Democratic
harmony; on the 18Th Of May members OF
the Alliance and other Industrial organi-
cations are to meet in Waco to decide
what action they should take with refer
ence to state and national politics, and 1t
occurs to TIE GAZETTE that it is most
unwise to make firebrsnd of state is
sue that lies buried under nearly 100, 00e
majority.

ADJUSTMENTS.

Leavltt's "Grand European Novelties at
tracted a large audience at Boyd's opera
house last night, and presented an enter
tainment which for its abundant variety and
general excellence can be cordially COM
mended. There We're eleven acts, each pre-
sented by people thoroughly proficient in
their speclalties. and most of them of ex-
ceptional merit. The performance commenced
with a very neat act by the Tllls, followed
by the trans Atlantic skaters, Ashley & Hess,
III a pleasing novelty. The funny Avones,
grotesque acrobats, were well received, and
two pretty girls, the Milton sisters,
presented a neat and artistic singing and
dancing act. Duncan, the yentriloquist, fur
nished a very amusing feature, while the
Pylades, in their representations of promin-
ent personages, were entertaining, and with
a few exceptions correct. The pedomanual
exhibition of Jules Keller was q. remarkable
illustration of what may be accomplished by
a legless man, or one who has not the use of
his legs, and the concluding act by the Fan
etto troupe of jugglers, equillbrists and lllu-
sionists, was an exhibition of skill and prof
cheney rarely cqualled. The large audience
gave ample evidence OF being well pleased
with the entertainment. Tonight there will
be changes in the programme, Introducing
other novelties.

Mr.. CLEVELAND will not improve
his reputation by an exhibition OF ill
nature in the closing days of his public
life. His message showed that his de-
feat had soured him and thrown him
into a pessimistic frame OF mind. There
was a disposition to pardon this under
the circumstances. 1t vas TO be eX-
pected of a man who had allowed faith
in himself and ambition to attain an in
ordinate growth. But Mr.. Cleveland
has had time for reflection, and he
ought to understand that he was not
only fairly defeated, but that he was
very largely responsible for his defeat.
He can do himself no good and may do
his party harm by continuing to mani
fest a spirit of resentment, particularly
