THERE ARE ".STBUGGLES" AND
q STRUGGLES."

There is struggle gong on in the Panhandle
between the farmers and the cattle barons, says
the Fort Worth GAZETTE. We think that we are
somewhat better posted on that subject than THE
GAZETTE, and therefore have no hesitation in
denying the report and suggesting to THE GA
zETTE the propriety of a little investigation be-
fore making reckless charges either against cat
tlemen or farmers or any other class. There is
perfect good will existing amongst the farmers
and cattlemen here.-[Texas Panhandle.
Wherever barbed wire fence, euclos-
ing tens and hundreds of thousands of
acres of land, goes up it marks the boun-
Diary line of agricultural effort. Good
will may, THE GAZETTE comedies that it
does, exist between farmers now, in the
Panhandle and the pasture princes; but
the man or the newspaper that would
deny the existence of ga struggle on
the part of any class of men
to perpetuate their business and
keep out those whose entrance would
destroy that business, ignores every con-
sideration of self interest and the teach
ings of actual facts. To say that capit-
alists will lease land, dig wells, erect
houses and put up fences and then not
''struggle'' against the entrance of
those who would pillow up the grass
wanted for calf-raising is too diaphanous
to catch even ex-Land Commissioner
Walsh, who published to the world in an
official report the fact that the lease law
retarded the settlement of the country.
The ''struggle' is not with Winchesters
but is with law and requirement of writ

and hoe.

Memphis Avalanche.

Merely substituting the name of Ben
jamin Harrison for Grover Cleveland and
the term Democratic for "RepubIi-
can, +" the Indianapolis Sentinel repro
duces the following paragraph printed
last October by its radical neighbor, the
Journal:
BENJAMIN Harrison has shown himself to be
politically dishonest, uhtrUthful and corrupt.
Is he personally honest? We do not
suppose the president would profit directly or
pecuniaTily by corrupt transaction, but II ne
permits others of his party to do so he is open
to the charge of personal dishonesty. Either
the president or his party, or personal friends
of his, are profiting very largely by the enor-
nous government deposits now and Tor some
time past carried by national banks. These
deposits amount to about fifty million dollars.
Six per cent of $50 DOC, 600 is IS 900, 600 year,
which these deposits are worth to the favored
banks. Ii Democratic administration had
done this the Repu bliCans in congress would
have moved the impeachment of the president.
The effect of thus putting the boot on
the other leg will be appreciated by the
close observer of current politics. He
will readily recall the bitter assaults
made on Cleveland because in Difference
to the business necessities of the situa
ton, his administration deposited part of
the surplus in the national banks. The
president himself objected to this dispo-
sition of the public moneys, and only
adopted it for lack of better.
During the campaign of last year Mr..
Blaine charged the president with hav-
ing made bargain with the national
banks, and Mr.. Harrison adopted the
same line of criticism. He claimed that
the money ought to be devoted at once
TO the purchase of bonds. That was the
Republican plan for reducing the surplus.
Well, Harrison was elected. He has
had six months in which to put his prin-
cple in practice. Instead Of doing so
his administration has so shaped Its
policy as to actually increase these de-
posts half million dollars, and instead
of reducing the debt by the purchase of
bonds he has permitted his commissioner
of pensions to increase It seven millions,
by a most outrageous distortion of the
law.
The foul charges of the little Hoosier 8
local organ have come homo to rOost
with a vengeance.

Through Texas.
Atlanta Innrnal

Mr.. J. w. Goldsmith, with his fam
lily, has just returned from a two weeks ,
tour through Texas, traversing the state
from the Indian Territory to the gulf,
and from the center to the eastern
limits. He reports having seen the
finest crops ever grown in Texas. The
crop of cotton and corn is simply i'm
mense, and that of wheat and oats,
fruits, etc., already gathered, was
marvellous i'll extent. During the time
he was in the state there was no rain,
nor has there been for the past month,
and the weather is all that could be
desired for harvesting the cotton, hay
and corn. The quantities of hay that
Is beng harvested is simply i'm
mense. The corn is all ma
tured and will yield fifty to sew
enty-fve bushels per acre, and the mil
lions of acres bearing it will supply the
state for three years. Farmers are offer
ing corn at fifteen to twenty cents. The
cotton crop Is safe, and in the southern
part of the state much of it is gathered
and the fields are white from top to bot
tom and still the blooms are bursting forth
as in midsummer. That part of Texas
in which is embraced Fort Worth, Dali
las, Tyler, Paris, Sherman and Gaines
vile, an orea of 250 miles square, is
without doubt the garden spot of the
continent. The magnificent rolling,
black prairies and the skirts of brownish
timber lands in this area are
literally grooming beneath the bur-
den of grain, hay and cotton now
being gathered. Mules and horses pass
ing through the cotton fields reminds
one of rabbits in a clover field. Those
lands are producing from one to one and
q half bales of cotton per acre, and the
farmers have no more idea of guanO than
the Chinese have of christianity. 1t all
the cotton lands in the South produced
like these we would have this year crop
of 20 600 900 bales.
The health of the country is very fine,
the people contented and happy.
The cities are enjoying an era of I'M
precedented prosperity. Fort Worth is a
magnificent young city, and has out
grown perhaps any other city in the
South in the last twelve years, and Will
doubtless have 100, 900 inhabitants with
in few years.

AT the end of thirty years more, the
lifetime of a generation, 1910, 1t
stood at ,239 ,S81. In the course of an
other generation, or in 1910, it was H.
069 ,453. at the present time the figures
run up to the neighborhoOd OF So 900,
900.
If this ratio of increase is a fair basis
for prediction we shall have at the time
when the ten-year-old boy OF to-day
shall be forty years of age, in 1920,
something like one hundred and sixty
million of people in the United States,
and when that man of forty reaches his
SEVENTEEN birthday 1850, we shall have
close upon four hundred million. That
man S son, who will be in the "youth of
his old age'' in 1890, 100 years from
now, will be the citizen of a republic with
a population OF more than one billion.
These figures are rather appalling.
They are in the regions of the unthink-
able, and so far beyond the reach of our
imagination that they are practically
Yalueless.
Events may happen which Will materi-
ally impede this progress of numbers.
