SMALL BUT KALUABLE.

For the second report of the commis
sioner of statistics, etc., of the state of
Texas, the agricultural report of Tarrant
county has been prepared and forwarded
to Austin duly attested by those officials
whose signs and seals are requisite to its
authenticity. THE GAZETTE learns that
this Tarrant county record will show,
among other things, that one-half an
acre of beans was all that was raised of
the toothsome vegetable, and that the
production was twenty-five bushels, the
value of which was S25. The assessor S
Office says this amount was all that was
reported by the farmers. Those who are
dismayed at the small acreage of beans
in Tarrant county may console themselves
with the fertility of the half acre. And
if a half acre of Tarrant county land can
produce $50 in beans, why should our
farmers waste further time on wheat.
corn, cotton, oats, etc.? Land that will
produce $50 an acre in beans, should not
be given over to less profitable crops.

THE VICTIM OF isolation.

And now comes the National Economist, the
general organ and exponent of the alliance,
published by DR.. Macune at Washington, with
similar good advice, and says: ''The agricult-
url and labor press of the country often fails to
WELD the influence and command the prestige it
should because it has injudiciously advocated
reforms that are too sweeping o. impracticable.
Nothing can react more unfavorably on the pub
LEGATION or upon the reform movement than to
get the ear of the people and then pour in lot
of visionary and impracticable trash la-
beled reform. Dreamers had better interest
themselves with music and poetry. Reform is
practical. 1t now means life or death. 1t must
be instituted by practical men practical meth
DDS. Therefore the greatest need of the hour,
especially on the part of reformers, is conserva-
tism' This language, though general in its
terms, is good antidote to the platform of the
Federation of Labor recently adopted at
Dallas, and claiming to represent the views,
aims and objects Of the workingmen and farmers
of Texas, though in reality put out by lot of
impractical and disappointed Republicans Wa
co Day.
If the National Economist had gone
further and declared that the man who
gave passable roadway to each neigh
borhood in every county in Texas would
thereby do more to ameIiorate the con-
dition of the farmer than all the "per
capita, y "'eight- hours-a-day cranks
will ever do, 1t would have spoken the
word in season. The farmer is the vic
tim of isolation; isolation is promotive of
credulity, suspicion and ignorance. Meth
DDS of communication educate, enlighten
and refine. The demagogue fiourishes
best where the roads are impossible, and
graveled highways are the deadly foes of
the crank and prairie philosopher. If
Tarrant county had 200 miles of gravel
roads the farmer would be benefited.
the merchant would be benefited, and
the Dark Lanternites would lose thous-
and votes.

TIE ZION IS HOT.

"Strike while the iron is hot'' is an
aphorism of universal application and
demonstrated wisdom-and to-day the
iron is hot for Fort Worth and all North
vest Texas. THE GAZETTE has alluded
to the impossibility of united effort in be-
half of the state as a whole-the condi-
lions forbid this; and it rests with each
section to say whether it shall indulge
the common supinity and share a COM
mon stagnation or go to work for itself to
the benefit of itself and of the state, and
to the incitation Of other sections to eff
fort until all Texas shall be aroused to
the Importance of action.
In setting up the Texas Spring Palace
Fort Worth made an effort to arouse the
state; but the state did not respond.
Sectional, and even county ambitions
and jeaIousies prevailed to the exclusion
of many, and when it was too late the
error was seen as the exhibiting counties
boosted of the benefit derived by them

Worth and Northwest Texas to strike,
since experience has demonstrated the
futility of efforts to unite all sections of
the state to the common good.
Fort Worth is part and parcel of West
and Northwest Texas. The interests of
this city and those sections are Identical.
In those sections are the cheap lands of
the state, for those sections there
is greatest need of effort, and be-

The steel cruiser Baltimore will be the
most formidable vessel in the United
States navy. The Baltimore made a run
cut to sea last Friday on a sea trial of
the engines. The engines averaged
nineteen knots on development of 500
horsepower. The test being completed
the vessel was ordered to Philadelphia TO
prepare for the official trial The Balti-
more is required by contract to maintain
5000 horsepower for a four-h hours run.
There is no doubt about her being able to
do this. As her boilers are to receive
500 per horsepower for all power de-
veloped above 5000 their premium
will doubtless be large The Bal
. timore is in construction some
thing like huge turtle with a sloping
back OF fourSnch steel plates, upon
which it is supposed TO be impossible for
shot and shell to impugne. Beneath this
turtle back, which at the edges is
below the water line and somewhat above
1T amidships, is placed the engines and
the vital machinery of the vessel. 1t is
believed, therefore, that the cruiser can
never be wholly disabled in any ordinary
sea fight, but viii always be able to act
well, both in offensive and defensive tao
tics. The new man-of-war is $50 feet
long, forty-eight and one-half feet
a-beam, has a displacement of 400 tons,
and draws nineteen and one-half feet OF
water. Her armament is strong, and
her guns and batteries so located as TO
give the greatest freedom TO the gunners,
as well as afford them the best protec-
ton.

Carnegie and His Men.
Philadelphia Record.

The spectacle OF a great steel mill
guarded by Pinkerton men and special
deputies against possible attacks by d
body of workmen is not exactly edify4
ing, but it is not without instruction to
the workingmen of the Pittsburg iron
district, in which the Carnegie mills are
located The controversy between the
Carnegie firm and its employees is some
what peculiar The scale of wages
adopted by the Amalgamated association
of iron and steel workers for the year
ending July l 1890, has not been defin-
iteIy rejected by any of the great Pitts
burg firms, with the single exception of
Carnegie, Phipps s. Co. This firm pre-
sented as counter proposition a
sliding scale of wages, to be in
force fo- three years, by the
terms of which it was proposed that
the wages of skilled workmen should be
reduced about 20 per cent. while I'M
skilled laborers' wages should be adj
vanced about 10 per cent. The workmen
refused to accept this scale, demanding
instead the adoption of the
scale of wages submitted by
the committee of the Amalgamateu asso-
citation, which, they claimed, was re-
garded with favor by the other iron aud
steel manufacturing firms. The costly
precautions taken against possible disor-
der at the Carnegie works indicates the
existence OF more than ordinarily bitter
feeling on both sides, and the struggle is
likely to be severe and prolonged Aside

tempf6ke Mr.. Carnegie utterances as a
patriot and philosopher iHSzeomparison

second place, has right TO devote any
part or all of its columns to San Angelo

place, the whole whim becomes ridicu-
lous when it places San Angelo in the
Panhandle. Just why THE GAZETTE
should be rebuked for any legitimate
policy it sees fit to pursue, surpasses our
understanding. Moreover, Brentwood
