Tanner Can DC 1t.
New York Herald.

The Republicans promised the people
last autumn that their candidate would
solve this vexed question of the surplus.
They have kept their word.
The Democrats, who hadn't been in
power for twenty-five years, saw the
treasury vaults filling up, and were not
only astOunded but terrified.
They were foolish enough to be honest
about it, and said that it was almost
criminal to keep on taxing the people
and taking from them millions of money
which the government had no use for.
Furthermore, they INDUCED in some
moral reflections about public Office be-
ing public trust and declared that the
government ought to be kept poor. 1t
should tax the people for just money
enough to pay its current expenses, and
if it could balance its books st the end Of
the year and report an empty treasury it
would give the best possible proof of a
successful administration.
The Republicans sneered at this Demo-
cratic honesty and limited that they could
never be accused of any folly Of that
kind.
They registered a VOW to save the cOun-
try from any further worry over little
matter like that surplus.
They had been accustomed to hand
ling large sums, and knew what they
were talking about. There was the
freedman's bureau matter, and the
star route enterprise, and the land
grabbing business, and the Credit Mo-
bilier affair-all of which had given
them an academic education in the
proper use t6iwhich public funds can be
safely put if ones tracks are well COW
cred.
The old Methodist who got mad, hung
his clerical coat on a peg, saying,
''Stay there, Methodism, until l whip
this scoundrel, - was their prototype.
In like manner they had on more than
one occasion hung all their high moral
ideas on a nail and attacked the treas
urY with patent double back action
dredging scoop.
When, therefore, the Democrats re-
marked that the government ought to
stop taxing the people because the sur
plus couldn t be spent these gentlemen
answered. The people ought, on the
contrary, to have higher taxes imposed,
and as for that surplus, our record shows
that we can tackle it with such success
that instead of being a hill of money
there will be simply hole in the aground
in s,couple of years.
At that suspicious moment Tanner ap
peared. Now Tanner, as a representa-
tive of his party, is phenomenon. No

The Texas Negroes.
Atlanta Constitution.

The negroes of Texas held a convention
the other day, and formulated an ad
dress setting forth the wrongs that are
put upon them.
The fact that they did not meet as citl-
zens, but rs negroes, shows that they do
not yet fairly understand their relations
to the state.
Such wrongs as the negroes of Texas
complain of can never be righted by con-
ventions or by politics. They must be
righted by means IF the growth and de-
velopment of intelligence and individu-
atty of the negroes themselves; by their
patience and forbearance, and, above
all, by the growth, however slow it may
be, of that feeling of citizenship that
comes with the knowledge OF q citizen 5
responsibility.
That the negroes of Texas are not in a
very bad way is shown by some figures
given in their address. They own l.
600 600 acres of land and pay taxes on
$50 900 600 worth of pro 9erty; they have
2000 churches, 1000 Sunday schools, 1000
benevolent associations, ten high schools.

Threatening Negroes.

SAVANNAH, GA, Sept. At Stockton
to-day, according to a special to the
News, white man stabbed a negro.
and they fiocked around a store ia which
the white man took refuge and demanded
his surrender, threatening to raid or burn
the store if the demand was not COM
piled with. The whites Of Stockton tele-
praphed to Valdosta for reinforcements,
and twenty-fY white men armed with
guns left there by train late this after
noon. The VaIdosta Guards wired Gov
ernor Gordon, asking TO be ordered to
the scene of the trouble, but up to 8
o'clock they had not. received g reply.
No additional details are obtainable to-
night.

Saying nothing of the sympathy that

For the Benefit of Syndicates.
NT;o.,,; Csorti,al

A special correspondent of the Fort
Worth GAZETTE reports Commissioner
Hall as saying squatters had intruded
upon lands leased to Mr.. Mckenzie by
the state, and that they were using these
lands defantly without paying a nickel
for them. To remedy this grievance
secret service agent is sent out by the
state, on whose report the rangers are
sent out to expel the intrudeTs. As be-
tween untitled citizens below the rank of
baron, in this and other states, the or
binary remedy for intrusion upon land is
a pOssessory action in the courts, but
more summary remedies are becoming
necessary nowadays in Texas for the
benefit of such men as Mckenzie, and
when he is aggrieved all he has to do is
to call for the assistance of the military.
Such is the manner in which the military
is subordinated to the civil authorities in
Texas.

a Great Showing for the South.
phiIadalnhsn Rncnrd

The number of cotton mills in the
South has more than doubled in the last
nine years, and the number Of spindles
has more than trebled. Cotton-making +,
like iron making, is drifting to those. To-
calities where the raw material can be
most cheaply brought to the factory and
furnace. When the work of the census
takers next year shall be put
in shape for publication it will
show such a magnificent development
that the attention of the whole
civilized world will be drawn to it. With
the possible exception of the Argentine
states, no other country beyond the limit
of the Union has made such forward
strides as the states south of Mason and
Dixon s line during the time that has
elapsed since the close of the civil war.
And the work is only well begun. The
great mineral resources Of the South are
merely uncovered here and there; their
magnitude is as yet an unguessed guam
tity

Boston Post, Sept. 2.
GAZETTE readers will find the above
figures full OF interest. They show that
the percentage of increase of business in
Fort Worth is greater than that of any
city in the Union, more than double that Of
am city in the Union Except GaIveston)
and this rate of increase, ranging from
60 to l35 per cent. over the business of
last year, has been steadily maintained.
In the above report of business Fort
Worth takes rank with such cities as
Memphis, Richmond, Hartford, Duluth
and st. Joseph.
For the week ending Saturday, Sep
TENDER 7, the cIearings of this city were
SI,271 .76 as against SOP, GI8 20
for the corresponding week of
1888, an increase of Go per
cent. The volume of business transacted
in Fort Worth is increasing at a rate
that marks it as the future great city
of the southwest.

paper are some very strong testimonials
to his character and reputation that give
the denial to the charges made
against him and compel the con-
viction that these charges were
inspired by Interior designs. No man can
read the testimonials to Judge Little S
character and place any reliance in the
charges made against him, especially
when the situation in the Panhandle is
taken into consideration, for his record
is clean.
Judge Little letter in THE GAZETTE
to-day makes mighty interesting reading
for those who advocate the lease law as
the best means for bringing the vacant
territory of this state under the domin-
ion of the hoe and the pillow. Wherever
the barbed wire of the Iessees of Texas
lands is put up then and there is erected
a barrier to the settlement of the country
as ex-Land Commissioner Walsh freely
admitted. The lease law was inspired by
those who desired to perpetuate the cat
tie ranch in Texas, and it was made pos
sible by the seIfshness of those who
hoped to educate their children by max
ing a lease hold of the western half of
the state.

JUDGE LTTTLE'S LETTER.

Elsewhere in THE GAZETTE this morn
ing will be found a letter from Judge
Little of Roberts county that ought to
have some interest for those people in
Texas who honestly prefer the settlement
of the country to the occupation of the
school lands by foreign corporations for
calf raising purposes. For his efforts
in behalf of the man with the hoe Judge
Little has. been severely criticised by
newspapers and individuals, and much
has been said rejecting on his
character IS man and his 10y
atty to Texas. Having been made the
vehicle of Judge Little's open letter
TO the governor, and having seen that
letter, as well as its writer, most harshly
criticised, this paper requested OF Judge
Little some facts and figures bearing on
the truth of this whole matter.
Judge Little has spent all or nearly all
of his life in Texas, and is not ''Kan-
sas razzooper" as charged, his life has
been in Texas and his interests are all in
Texas; and in the possession of this

If the South ever expects to eliminate
the tariff discussion from national poll
tic, she must commence at once to erect
factories sufficient to convert all raw ma
teriaI produced in her borders into man
ufactured articles. It should be the
great aim of the South to raise at home
all that it consumes, so far as practical,
buy nothing that can, be produced here.
Legislation cannot create wealth, hence
we can not expect anything from it, eX-
cept to remove tariff discrimination
against the poor in favor of the rich.
Factories in the South Will be a practical
solution of the unjust and burdensome
duties on imports, and will cause the
South TO prosper.

THE New Haven Register calls atten-
ton to the prominence once more given
to the ever blessed jury system. In the
CrOnin case it is said that no Irishman
will be accepted by the prosecution and
no Germans by the defence. No one
who has formed an opinion as to the case
in its leading features is eligible. Few
persons who are able to read have not
heard of the Cronin case, and Chicago
people have probably pretty generally
formed an opinion concerning it. Any
body who has not reached some definite
conclusion in his own mind by this time
may be safely set down as incapable of
forming an opinion. There are plenty Of
fair-minded men who, having read the
newspapers, would be able to listen to
the testimony and render a verdict on
the evidence. but they are not likely to
be chosen. If the Cronin jury is not
jury of imbeciles, it is likely to be one of
very unfortunate mental endowments.

The question of a railway commission is
not one of Democracy at all; it is only a
question of the fairest and best way to
deal with freight rates. The members
elected to the legislature know almost
nothing about railroads and are not COM
petent to fix rates, hence there should be
q commission.
