sponsibIlity for their appointment and
their conduct in Office would be directly
and unayoidably fixed. This RESPONSE
biIitv, and the power to exact the pen
atty of it promptly, should be the basis
of the whole system of appointment to
offices, and it is in this view that l make
the foregoing and following suggestions:
l propose that, in the first instance, the
officers whose service is to be in
the states whence appointed shall receive
their appointments on the recommended
ton of the senator or the representative
in congress from their district, except in
special cases and for special reasons :,
With the power to remove these officials
at any time, the president would possess
aH.the authority to enforce faithful per-
forrianGe. of duty that he would have
under any system, whilst the community
would, in like manner, be able to deal
with its member of congress, who would
be responsible for the appointments, and
who would thus be liable to lose influence
alike with the administration and with
his constituents.

Do Something.
Austin Statesman

All over the world money is cheap,
and it is seeking investment, but money
is not invested in idle, sleepy towns and
cities. Great energy and vigorous bust
ness life attract capital to build up in
dustries. There are men in this city
whose aggregate wealth is great. They
came here in an early day, and have
grown rich because of the natural in
crease in population and values.
If these men will agree together and
erect cotton mill, and they can easily
do it, it would pay them well, and in
few years the money expended would
be returned three or four times
over by reason of the in
creased growth of the city and in
creased values of property. One or two
hundred thousand dollars put into fac
tory would induce others and attract ten
times that amount to be used in starting
and Operating other industrial enter
prises. A great city woul grow up sup
porting hundreds Of skilled laborers, and
the sunlit hills and shady valleys of Aus
tin be alive with busy people. Get your
heads together you men who have grown
rich here in Austin, and do something.
The men who rent your property have
thus tar had about all the load to carry.

The Papers Work.
Baird Star.

The press of Western Texas is the most
liberal in the world. They are always
ready to help any enterprise in a neigh
boring town by words of encouragement.
This is Illustrated every week.
If Abilene, BrOwuwood or San
Angelo starts out to get up a fair
the fact is heralded all over the West,
and even across the ocean. If Baird
Arson or any other town raise funds to
start roller mill or to inaugurate any
other enterprise, although only OF local
interest, the press of Western Texas, in
stead OF being jealous, rejoice at this
evidence of prosperity of neighboring
towns. Western Texas is booming, and
this fact is due more to the press than
anything else. The press Of Western
Texas is conducted by men of broad,
liberal views, and, with only one single
exception, they never try to boom their
own towns or counties by abusing their
neighbors.

To Be Continued in Our Next.

South, but from every person who has
occasion TO 90 there, the most fiattering
reports are received of the industrial
outlook in that section.
If the development of the iron and
steel resources along tie Cumberland
plateau is SO remarkable, as is conceded,
the creation of a great manufacturing
belt there is inevitable, and must be fol-
lowed by prosperity in all the agricultural
ana mineral development of the South.
The spirit of this new feeling is evil
denced especially at this time in Georgia,
Alabama and Tennessee. In Texas
growth is occurring which is but little
appreciated il the North. The taxable
valuation of that state is increasing
fGsterS than in any other, and its cities
and towns are rapidly assuming the as
pect of commercial centers. The agri-
cultural condition of Texas can perhaps
be best Illustrated by the fact that one
county in the Panhandle ," which, ten
years ago, did not have over dozen
families, this year viii raise more wheat
than all the state of Texas half dozen
years ago. The recent visit of President
Adams of the Union Pacific railroad to
Fort Worth, Tex. is preliminary TO the
gaining by that road OF al outlet from
Denver to the gulf over roads already built
which will bring Denver nearer the sea
coast than it is to Chicago. The people
of Texas are arousing to the advantages
to be gained from attracting trade, and
we notice with pleasure several leading
newspapers of that state urging the es-
adjustment of q state railroad commIs-
sion as a remedy for the friction which
now exists between the people and the
roads. The development of our trade
with South America, which Is
sure to be brought about with
in a few years, will give to the
South position, commercially, which is
sure to add greatly to its present pros
perity. That section is naturally, in
many quarters, richer than any other
part OF the country, and its progress,
which promises to be marve.ous, will be
watched not only with general interest
by New England but with q special care,
as it affords opportunity for our young
men to invest judiciously in commercial
enterprises.

The Growth of the South.
Boston Advertiser.


The growth of the South is rapidly as
Stunning proportions which makes it al
most more marvellous than the rapid de-
velopment of the West. During the past
three and one-half years alone, over
eleven thousand new industrial establish
meuts have been constructed aud over
eight thousand miles of railroad, though
it is to be remembered that that section
Of the country was comparatively well
served with railroads before that date
An even more tangible evidence that the
South is. adding wondrously to its
resources Is the growth of the agri-
cultural products. In the past ten
years the total product has gained from
FIVE hundred and seyenty-one million
dollars in 1871 to moderate esti-
mate of nine hundred million dollars this
year and the value of livestock very
clear index of agricultural prosperity,
which, in 1879, was 1891 400 ZOO is now
estimated in a conservativB:way at five
hundred and seventy-five million dollars.
1t is .undisputed that though last year
showed the largest crop all over the
South ever raised mp to that time, this
season will fer surpass 1t. Not only from

rhat,s why seoO. COO are wanted.

Mayor COnnor of Dallas has made 8
public declaration that the St. Louis Re-
public has by request submitted propo-
sition to establish branch paper in that
city, which viii be accepted. The Fort
Worth Mail makes the above statement,
and says it ttakes the talk about a new
morning paper il North Texas out OF the
domain of speculation. - The Day,
however, in spite of this apparent evil
dence, is inclined to doubt whether the
scheme attributed to the Republic is
likely to materialize, because that pap
must have gumption enough to know that
any attempt on its part to occupy the
field would be the signal for the fiercest
newspaper fight on record, and the loss
of thousands of dollars before victory is
won.

FORT WORTH has six building and
loan associations; it will organize the
seventh tonight, and the eighth wall be
organized within week. A city of such
associations is a city of homes, and a
city of homes is city of law
and order and economy and well
clothed children and happy fam
lilies. The capitalist is equally inter-
ested with the wage worker in making
Fort Worth city of homes for its peo-
pie Encourage the building associa-
tons. Such associations are foes of the
dram shop, the gambling house and the
domino and pool rooms, and they are
handmaidens to school house and church,
and friends TO the retail merchant.

TIE STArESIAN KEEpS

Fort WOrth's assessments and bank
clearances paralyze the esteemed con-
temporaries in other towns. The Austin
Statesman is still harping on my daugh-
! ter:''
1t is only precious few who defraud the state
out of just taxes by false rendition of property,
and had the Fort Worth board of equalization
confined the increase to the few to be found in
that city, andif every other board of aqualiza-
ton in the state would put the JACK screws un-
der the few within their jurisdiction and give
them vigorous twist, people everywhere would
rejoice.
The Fort Worth board of equaliza-
ton, as the Statesman understands it,
made a sweeping raise and put the
taxable values of scores of modest little
homesteads at figures they win not bring in the
open market to-day. a well informed gentle
man just from Fort Worth says there is much
complaint in that city among the laboring men
who have homes, and among those of moderate
means over the action of the board; and it is not
to be wondered at.
The stupendous and sudden increase in the
values of Fort Worth, by patriotic board of
FIVE gentlemen, smacks too much of the windy,
gaseous California boom of a year ago, which
collapsed. leaving the whole country in a cha
otto financial condition, with CHASTITY wrecks
scattered everywhere.
Gas the Statesmen understands it, is
not as the people of Fort Worth knOlo it.
No "sweeping raise'' was made, and
the ''well informed gentleman would
have found more kickers among big than
small taxpayers had he taken the pains
to investigate. The board of equaliza-
ton took each assessment separately and
raised it according to its value, and
there is not a taxpayer of this city who
would sell his property at its assessed
value-the "well informed gentleman
and the Statesman to the contrary not
withstanding. The Statesman IS wall for
Fort Worth IS poor is touching. but it
should save its tears for its own people.

THE Encouragement of Texas is an
iconoclast, and pulls down the pet
'trunk'' line of Dallas with. as little
ceremony as he enfOrces any other law.
1t is said this Dallas Trunk Line, which
is forty-fve miles long, is stocked for
$3.50 900, has issued So 900 ,OOO in bonds,
of which three or four millions have been
sold, has received 60, 900 acres of land
from munificent Texas, and has thirteen
cars, of which eight are upside-down
somewhere along its line. Is it any Won
der that people in Texas clamor for
railroad commission?

The Coming "Miu. ="
San Antonio Express.


The Fort Worth Mail calls upon TIE
GAZETTE to polish up its breastplate so
carefully because when the fight begins
between the Dallas News and the Dallas
Republic, the public of North Texas will
expect it to intervene. Newspaper fields
it adds, however, are not held by Rip
Van Wrinkles. In the first place this
paragraph contains some very bad ad-
vice. If the Republic should slap the
chip from the shoulder of the News,
the air be Immediately filled
with dust and feathers aud THE
GAZETTE be foolish enough to take
hand in the row, it would simply get its
head cracked for its pains. When the
affair begins it will be The GAZETTE IS
proper policy to rear back serenely and
watch the snakes swallow each other.
In the second place, the Mails para
graph contains an unwarranted refec-
ton upon bright and able paper. There
is something OF Joe jefferson, but mighty
little Of Rip Van Wrinkle about THE GA
ZETTE. In proportion to its means it is
the most enterprising paper in Texas.

How Appointments to Office should be 5Iad

How Appointments to Office Should be Made.
Gen. John Pope in North American Review
for September.
I think, then, that with our form of
government. and the wide liberty and
practically unlimited rights of its citi-
zens in this country, which we cannot
abridge, it would, perhaps, serve the
purpose of civil service reform for the
present if it should be decided that the
Office holders in Washington be appointed
by the president and the chiefs of the
great executive departments of the gov
eminent, and that their tenure of Office
should be during good behavior and the
faithful performance of their duties.
This rule can be enforced without
invading the rights or privileges of the
citizen, since such a tenure of Office
would require that the appointee change
his residence to the District OF Columbia,
where for him there would be no field for
ponIical action which could affect any,
thing more important than the local
affairs of the district. Being under the
immediate supervision of the chief exeeu-
tive officers of the government, the re-
