mense amount of interest and valuable
information is compressed within the mar
row limits, sixteen pages, OF this little
pamphlet. Amongst other things we learn
that other no country in the world has un-
dertaken scientific work for the benefit
of its farmers on such vast scale as the
United States; that in a great many cases
single line of investigation pursued at
an experiment station has saved more
money to The farmers of the state than
its entire cost of maintenance; that the
effect on the farmers themselves in spite
Of the short time the experiment stations
have been in existence has been most
marked, inducing them to seek to apply
the results of scientific research to their
work This work costs the country, in
Guiding both state and national appro
priations, over seven hundred thousand
dollars, and employs over three hundred
and seventy scientific men. This ex-
pense, however, is but trifling one in
comparison with the annual value of our
agricultural products, which is not less
than twenty two hundred million dollars.

Amid much that is interesting in this
issue of Southern journal devoted to
woman (and the editorial matter, con-
tributions and selection all deserve prase) 4,
there is not one that addresses itself so
fully to women of the South as an article
by Miss katherine Mobiles. Miss Noble it
will be remembered was sent a delegate
from New Orleans to the twenty fifth
anniversary of the Sorosis and by sim
gularly happy originality and well chosen
utterances made for herself a national
reputation, and more than that, she
has opened the eyes of needless
blindness to the knowledge of South
ern sisterhood, earnest, intelligent and
diligent in their work.
The article to which reference is made
is ':On the Universal Federation of
Woman s Clubs. - This federation is
proposed in order to bring women into
communication with each other that by
this means they may the better compare
methods of work and become mutual as
sstants in promoting common objects.
Women S clubs in the South had but two
representatives at the meeting spok en- of /,
and Miss Noble, as representing in this
section the committee for permanent Or
ganizatlon solicits communication with
existing clubs or with any who are inter
ested i'll their formation
The strength of unity is too thoroughly
understood to need argument, and Miss
Noble IS request should not be unheeded.

This journal from the Westland comes
to the book table sparkling with origin
ali ty and freshness. Where there is so
much of readable matter the short space
that can be devoted to q book notice is
extremely tantaliZing.
A managing editor of paper who has
little time for promlscuOus reading,
would at once thrust his fingers
through the leaves and plunge in
TO the midst of "The Law of
Libel, - as it is expounded by Hon.
L. B France. An editor finds it so diff
ficult to steer the vessel freighted with
public opinion and common rumor
safely through the Scylla and Charybdls
of legal interference, that he gladly
avails himself of any instruction that
will insure safe pilotage. This writer
does not, however, give any chart, but
points out where dangers exist and diff
ficulties present themselves. Every agi-
tation of the vexed question as to what is
libel is of benefit. 1t is only when the ex-
istence of an evil is ignored tina there is
no hope of remedy.
One who would hold to the beliefs of
his early manhood reads such articles as
Fact VS.. Fiction, - with deeply pleas
urable emotion To such an one who
found his idol IN the temple dedicated to
drama to be Shakespeare gratefully re-
ceives so pleasing a tribute to his genius,
and so fair statements of facts to prove
that Shakespeare was the author of his
own plays.
A charming bit of descriptive writing
is found in 1.-the Rio Colorado, - by lie
Monde Grey. There are most excellent
selections in other departments of lltera-
ture and enough has been said to show
that the magazine containing so much is
worthy of careful reading by large con-
stituency.

One of the most notable points made
in the Blake conference was
relative to the roads running
through the sparseIy settled portions of
the state. Mr. Blake thought it unjust
that the people in the thickly settled
districts should pay exorbitant rates to
enable the roads TO make up for The
loss entailed in operating roads in the
West. This was by far the most astound-
ing position upon which Mr.. Blake.
essayed TO make a stand. And perhapz
it gave greater emphasis to his off
repeated assertion that he represented
the whole people of Texas. - In the
first place Mr.. Blake should have knazsn
that the law would not have permlte5a
the roads to discriminate against the West.
even if they had so desired. But
doubtless the people of the West VIII in
dorse this champion of the people who
would, if he could, double their freights
in order to reduce his own. This is, TO
say the least, funny position for ''the
representative of the people. -
-
The fact of the matter is this freight
committee was anything but representa-
tive Of Texas. 1t must appear to all that
they assumed much to make such claim
Fort Worth daily gazette. (Fort Worth, Tex.) 1882-1891, 1889-08-18

largely among all classes in all sections
of Texas.
Whether or not the directing power of
the committee had motive in the man.
ipulatiOn of the press, it is safe to say
that in case of another conference the
railroad representatives will not trust the
press feature to Mr.. Blake When they
learned that only one paper had been in
vited, they were indignant and felt that
they had been played with, that they had
not been accorded the courtesy which
they had been led to expect.
