SPEAKER ALEXANDER.

Frank P. Alexander of Hunt county
who was unanimously elected speaker of
the lower house of the legislature on
Tuesday, is perhaps the youngest man
ever chosen to fill that important position
by a Texas legislature. He was born in
Pickens, s. c., September, 1858, and
consequently is but little over thirtv-five
years of age. Mr.. Alexander came to
Texas i'll 1870, and from that time until
1884 was engaged i'll Texas journalism,
being connected in an editorial ca
pacity with the Jefferson Demo-
crat, the Greenville Independent
and the Greenville Herald Retiring
from the latter paper, which he estab-
lished in 1879, he engaged in the insur-
ance business, his present vocation. Mr..
Alexander is now serving his fourth term
as a representative from Hunt county,
having been Il member OF the Eighteenth,
Nineteenth and Twentieth legislatures.
Shortly after his entrance into political
life he came into prominence as an adj
vocate of state railway commission.
One of the most important measures be-
fore the Nineteenth legislature was bill
introduced by him to establish such a
commission to prohibit pooling and to
regulate freight and passenger traffic.
The measure attracted strong support,
but was finally defeated. In the Twen-
tieth legislature he succeeded in getting
q bill through the house to prohibit legis-
lative, executive and judicial officers
from accepting railroad passes, but it
failed in the senate. Mr.. Alexander was
chairman of the committee on insurance
and statistics in the Eighteenth aud
Twentieth legislatures, and has served
prominently on the committees of inter-
nal Improvements and finance. While best
known to the public in connection with
measures favoring railroad regulation,
Mr.. Alexander is not q hater of railroads,
nor an agitator. On the contrary, he
has always been identified with the con-
servatire and moderate element of the
various legislatures in which he has
served

Ex-Governor KELLOGG of Louisiana
opposes the recognition of the colored
allies of his party in the formation of
Harrisoni's cabinet and the attempt TO
divide the Southern Democracy by ap-
pointing protection Democrats TO Office.
1t is very plain that no burning desire is
felt by the leading white Republicans of
the South for a Democratic split. With
many additions to their ranks some of
the lily-whites would be compelled to
saw wood and split rails for a living,
even under Republican administration.

A DELEGATION Of Mississippi Republic
cans which visited Harrison advised him
to select Southern Office holders from
among the business men, and to avoid
appointing unpopular and distrusted
negroes ana white men merely because
they are Republicans. The heroic strug-
gle that is being made on behalf of the
negro by his political allies seems to be
limited to the question of suffrage. The
Republican view of the situation is, ap-
parently, that he is intelligent enough to.
vote, but not intelligent enough to be
Republican office holder.

ENTERED At TIE FoRT Worth, Texas, Posi-
OFFICE As SECOND CLASS MAIL MATTER,
The Delta independent., 1889-09-24

Some of the people of the Upper Gunnison
valley held a meeting few days ago for the
purpose of seeing what could be done towards
securing water for irrigating purposes. Mr..
Landreti, who has been working for some
tine to Introduce the Greeley irrigating pump
brought it ur before the meeting, explained
how it could be so, with little cost to each
one interested, and also gave the amount oi
water each one would receive, but for some
reason he could not make them take hold
and so nothing was done. If the people OF
that section would get water, no matter how,
they could in two years time show mp as
nice a country as could be found in the state.
They have the soil, and all that is needed is
water. We hope they viii consider the mat
ter carefully, and at some other meeting
combine and go 10 work 10 get water.
