POLITICAL INCONSISTENCIES OF

EDITOR BULLETIN: Much has of
late been said and written, wise and
otherwise, anent the professions of
the principles enunciated through
the platforms of the several factions
by courtesy designated politica;
parties. AS is usual, preceding
general election we have, in addi-
Iion to the building of political plat
forms, the amuSingly pathetic pan
tomime of honorable gentlemen
whose dainty digits would be dis
graced at any other time by more
plebeian occupation than cutting off
coupons, now handsbaking and hob
nobbing with the "bone and sinew,"
the "horny handed sons of toll"
etc., etc., whom at all other times
they affect to despise. We see the

whilst the value of all the wool manu-
featured was S267., 1S2 ,914, and the value
of all the cotton manufactures was S210,-
$50 1888 So I say with the exception of
the metal manufactures OF the United
States, wool is Our very greatest interest,
and therefore it should be the duty of
legislators, as it seems to me, to push the
prosperity of our greatest industry.
have tables here showing the number
of sheep in various portions of the coun-
try at the decennial periods when our
censuses have been taken, and you will
notice that the decline of the hocks has
mostly been in the older and more thickly
settled states, showing that from the ma
ture of the animal the sheep which re-
CURED a large expent OF pasturage had to
give way before the pressing necessities of
man, and therefore the decline was
found to be the greatest in the older and
more thickly settled states OF the Union.
In the Southern states in 1910 the num-
Der was 4 ,52l 600: in 1850, co. 900; in
1860. 5 1888 200; in 1870, 5,IS8 600; in
1880, ,439 600 That included the great
and then thinly settled state of Texas and
other Southwestern states where the
presence of man had not yet driven out
the cultivation of sheep and restricted
their pasturage, and there we see an in
crease from 1910 to 1880 of nearly 100 per
cent.
1t is carefully provided everywhere that
the wooden interest shall not suffer by
overtaxation, but the common people of
this country who have to be clothed, and
who have to do that by the sweat of their
own brows have no favor in this bill 1t is
the worst, so far as / have been able to
determine, that has ever been proposed
to the American congress; and instead of
decreasing the duty upon those articles
in which the constituents of the senators
on that side are interested there is an in
crease every time and whatever little de-
crease there is comes from something
they are not interested in.

In Good Shape.

While talking to Mr.. T. C. S. Batch few DAYS
ago We asked him few pointers in regard to his
luck in the Louisiana State Lottery, and of the
workings Of the company. Mr.. Hatch stated
that he had been in the habit of investing for
some months past few dollars in the lottery.
That he sent his money in and always received
his tickets promptly. he purchased ten fortieth
tickets about the 10th of December, 1888; among
the ten was No. 90, T04, the same being the num-
Der that drew the capital prize, $500 600.
What did you do when you were informed
that you had drawn SIS 600, Mr.. Hatch?''
- went at once to Waco and deposited nv
ticket with the American National bank, and
took their receipt for the same
money!
None in the least. Four days after depos-
tied my ticket was paid by the American Ma
tional bank the SIS, 000.''

AMAZED AT THE TRUTH.
The People of Wisconsin Discredit the Reports
From Western Texas.

FEOm heSIeEH leAdSs
SAN ANGELO, TEX, Jan. %, 1883.
To the Gazette.
While sitting in the office of the COncho
national bank few days since and read
ing copy of your live daily, communi-
cation from Mr. Bulls caught my eye.
1t was in reference to reports about
Western Texas circulated in Wisconsin
and the Northwest, the purpoTt of which
seemed to be to neutralize the favorable
impressions, created by Mr.. Wilkerson s
exhibit of the productions of Western
Texas. Mr.. Bulls writes back for in
formation to substantiate what Mr..
WilkersOn has said TO those people
He enquiries if Mr.. Harris, who farms on
the Colorado river north of San Angelo,
did make 5000 bushels of corn without
irrigation, and in connection with this in
quiry says that report is in circulation
that it never rains west of the Tooth me-
r1dian, and hence there could be no sue
cessful agriculture in that region.
There seemed to be q strange coinci-
dence as to the reading of the letter re-
ferred to, and the weather prevailing at
the time, for l was waiting a favorable
moment when between showers l might
~ w blEuCI -OO ydIuS away All udy
Jupiter Pluvius poured his tor
rents down, and now, two
days afterward, the mud is
ankle deep, and still it rains. We are
hoping for a dry spell long enough to al
low the husbandman to plant his grain
for the spring crop. Now, as to the al
legged assertion that Mr.. Harris gathered
5000 bushels of corn made on land not ir-
rigated, this can be established by the
testimony Of many witnesses. Mr.. Har-
ris owns no irrigated land, and his farm
ing is not confined to raising corn, but
last year he raised fine wheat crop,
averaging twenty bushels to the acre;
also an oat crop that averaged forty
bushels per acre. The products of the
farm, corn, wheat and oats, can be seen
by visit to his farm at any time There
is another little matter connected with
this crop that may not be unfmportant,
the 5000 bushels of corn was made on 100
acres of land.
These are facts that the people here
would gladly prove by ocular demonstra-
ton if our northwestern friends will only
pay us visit. We hope and believe,
however, that Ftruth crushed to earth
will rise again. - and that Mr.. Wilker-
son will have no trouble in removing
every impression made by false reports.
Yours, in the cause of TRUTH.

WASHINGTON, Jan. - The debate in
the senate on the wool schedule was
probably the most important subject of
the entire tariff bill, and THE GAZETTE
makes the following extracts from the
well-considered speech of Senator Vance
on this commodity:
Mr.. Vance-Mr. President, we have
approached now what 1 regard as
the most important schedule in this
bill. 1t win certainly be conceded that
there Is nothing of more prime necessity
TO the comfort or the clothing of man
than wool.
The history Of our race from Asia to
Australia is the history of wool. 1t is
cOmmingIed with the traditions of Greek
mythology as well as the ceremonials of
the Jewish religion In all ages, in all
countries, wool has been the chief cover
ing of man. The gentle domestic ami
mai which yields it has ever been the
faithful friend Of man, furnishing him
both food and raiment. By the tables
which are furnished us by the bureau Of
statistics, which I viii not take the trou-
BILE to read, but will ask to have incOr-
porated as part of my remarks, 1 find
that the United States is the fourth
country in the world in the number Of
sheep, while in the production of wool
the United States is the second country in
the world

Carrying Weapons.

1t is commonly thought that only
the concealed carrying of weapons is
unlawful, but the law on the subject,
which we print below, indicates
plainly that the unqualified carrying
of weapons constitutes the legal Of
Tense. This section is as follows:
IF person carry about his person
any revolver or other pistol, dirk,
bowie knife, razor, slung shot, billy,
metallic or other false knuckles, or
any other dangerous or deadly weap-
ons of like kind or character, he shall
be guilty of misdemeanor, and fined
not less than twenty-five nor more
than two hundred dollars, and may,
at the discretion of the court, be con
fined in Jail not less than one, nor
more than twelve months; and if any
person shall sell or furnish any such
weapon as is hereinbefore mentioned
to person whom he knows, or has
reason, from his appearance or other
wise, to believe to be under the age
of twenty-one years, he shall be pun
ished as hereinbefore provided.

The following cases have been dis
posed of in this court since ourlas re-
port:
David j. Festus, colored, indictment

for new trial.

ment for felony. Found guilty. Mo-
ton for new trial.

The court on Saturday, on petition
of the jury who tried the case, modi-
fed the sentence Of Willie Moore so
as to order his release from imprison-
ment on payment of 81 fine.and costs.
On Tuesday Judge Duckwall rem
d cred his opinion in the celebrated
case of the Fidelity Insurance,
Trust and Safe Deposit Company,
trustee. vs.. the Shenandoah Valley
Railroad Company. The suit was
brought for the purpose of having
foreclosure of the mortgages on the
road. The Central Improvement
Company, by petition, set up a
claim to certain mortgage bonds
which the railroad company, in 1878,
agreed to issue and deliver to 1t, but
failed to do. The case was before
this court on the report of f. w.
Brown, commissioner, to whom the
case was referred, to ascertain the
amount due the Central Improve
ment Company as damages against
the railroad company for its failure
to perform its part of the contract of
1878. The commissioner reported
the amount to be S1,000,00S Sun
dry exceptions We're taken to his re-
port. The judge overruled all the ex-
ceptions inconsistent with his opln-
ion. and decided that the Central
Improvement Company was entitled
to recover against the railroad COM
pany $4,000, without interest or
costs, and that this amount was
first lien on the road. The opinion
is great surprise, as those who ex-
Il
first lien expected likewise that the
amount decreed would be much
larger; while those who expected
limited recovery are much surprised
at finding it placed as a first lien.
The attorneys for the Central I'm
provement Company will at once
take the case to the Supreme Court
of the State to be finally adjudicated.

1be Australian VOTING System.

MANY of readers having expressed
q desire to understand what is known
as the Australian system OF voting at
elections, we publish the following
explanation, showing how it was
worked at the recent election In
Massachusetts.
The ballot is an interesting piece OF
typography. On the ticket are print
ed the names of every candidate Tor
office. After each name is the name
of the party which the candidate rep
resents and at the right OF these are
blank spaces. The voter marks cross
es in the various blank spaces
directly after the names OF the men
for whom he desires to vote. A
sketch of the polling place accom-
panies the sample ticket, and 1t Is
impossible to see how the voter can
be prevented from voting according
to his own inclinations. The voter
enters the room where the polls are
located and gives his name and resi-
dence to the ballot clerk, who admits
him within the rail and hands him
ballot. He goes to one Of the private
booths. marks crosses after the names
of his favorite candidates, then folds
the ballot in the same shape in which
il was handed him, walks to the bal
lot box and again gives his name and
residence to the officer in charge, and
deposits his own ballot in the box to-
gether with the certificate of the Sec
retary of the commonwealth. Noone
is allowed inside the rail except
those who go in to vote and no
conversation is allowed. No one is
allowed to remain within the rail
longer than ten minutes, but two
minutes is about the average time OF
each voter. Those who are physically
unable TO mark their own ballot can
receive assistance from an election
officer. A careful examination OF
this plan is sufficient 10 persuade the
most incredulous that bribery and
vote-selling would be greatly reduced
by its universal adoption.
