dubbed me "Mr. Delirium Tremen,
Twain."]
BY this time there had grown to bt
such clamor for an "answer" to al
the dreadful charges that were laid tc
me that the editors and leaders of my
party said it would be political ruin
for me to remain silent any longer
The following appeared in one of the
papers the very next day:
BEHOLD THE MANl-The independ-
ent candidate maintains silence. Be-
cause he dare not speak. Every accu-
sation against him has been amply
proved, and they have been Endorsed
and Reimbursed by his own eloquent
silence, till at this day he stands for
ever convicted. Look upon the infa-
nous perjurer! the Montana thief
the body snatcher! the delirium
tremens! the filthy corruptionist |!
Can you give your honest votes to a
creature who dares not open his
mouth 10 denial of any of his hideous
crimesss
There was no possible way Of get
ting out of it, and so, in deep humil-
iation, l set about preparing to Fan
swer" mass of baseless charges and
mean and wicked falsehoods. But l
never finished the task, for the very
next morning a paper came out with
a new horror, charging me with burn
ing lunatic asylum, with all its in
mates, because it INSTRUCTED the view
from my house. This threw me into
a sort of panic. Then the principal
Republican journal convicted" me of
wholesale bribery, and of poisoning
my uncle to get his property, with
an imperative demand that the
grave should be opened. This drove
me to the verge of distraction. On
top Of this was accused of employ
ing toothless and incompetent old
relatives to prepare the food for the
foundling hospital when Twas warden.
At last, as due and fixing climax to
the shameless persecution that party
rancor had inflicted upon me, nine
little toddling children, of all shades
of color and degrees of raggedness,
were taught to rush on the platform
at public meeting and clasp me
around tie legs and call me pa. Truly
yours, once a decent man.

THE ARID REGION.

The result of the report of the Con.
gressional committee, who have just
finished examination of the arid re-
gion of the West, will doubtless be
the adoption Of some practical plan
for retaining some of the lands of that
section now almost valueless for want
of water and rain. The vastness of
the arid region of the United States
makes this matter of prodigious i'm
portance. The boundaries of this area
are put down by scientists as the one
hundredth meridian on the east and
the Rocky Mountains on the west, in
GLIDING very nearly the whole western
half of the state of Texas. The con-
tents are estimated at a thousand
million acres in round numbers. OF
this immense region it is computed
that from one hundred and twenty
five million to two hundred million
acres of agricultural lands are suscep-
tible of reclamation by irrigation,
seven million acres having already
been so reclaimed. These two hun
bred million acres of reclaimable land
are nearly ten times the aggregate
of improved farm lands in Pennsyl-
vania and sixty per cent more than
the farms of New England, the Caro-
linas, Georgia, Florida, New York and
Pennsylvania put together. An acre
Ct irrigated land is said to be twice as
productive as lands dependent upon
rainfall. This makes doubly impor-
tant the movement which will show
up in the approaching congress for
some general plan of reclamation by
irrigation. Texas is especially in
terested in the subject. She has
millions of acres, rich as the Brazos
bottom, lying waste under the rain
less skies of the west that might be
turned by irrigation into productive
farms and the homes of taxpaying
population. Possibly the artesian
well may yet play appointment part in
the reclamation of the arid region of
the west.

1t ia powerful iron and vegetable
tonic prepared specially for diseases
and disorders of females of all ages. 1t
builds up feeble, broken down, and
worn out constitutions; it regulates
the whole system, adds iron to the i'm
poverished blood and makes cures in
cases when all other medicines have
failed. Why? Because it is prepared

YESTERDAYS San Antonio Express
said: "The Lockhart Register pre-
diets that it will be long time before
Tom Breckenridge, of Austin, will be
the head of state affairs. Why?
Stranger things have happened. The
honesty and business ability of Major
Breckenridge are unquestioned. The
time may not be far distant when the
people will look rather to con
seryatism than the ability TO make
a tremendous fuss about nothing"
Never was honest praise better be-
slowed. Wherever Major Bracken-
ridge is known there are recognized
the steadfastness OF purpose, loyalty Of
friendship and elevated estimate Of
life that always animate him. To his
friends he is always true-to his enc
mics ever courteous. Major Bracken-
ridge is blessed with mind capable Of
entertaining on all subjects only the
broadcast and most liberal views. He
is OF such timber as governors can be
made with great credit to any state.

CONCENTRATING THE ARMY FOR CT


The advance sheets of the annua
report of the secretary OF war for the
year 1889 are on our table. Secretary
Proctor makes an elaborate statement
as to the condition of the army in all
its branches. Some parts OF the re-
port have bearing on the ARISEN al
block question about which Austin
has been interested. Under the head
"Army Posts and Supplies" Secretary
Proctor says:
The change in character which our
military service has been undergoin 6
the past few years. is permitting the
gradual concentration of troops in
larger posts and more permanent
quarters, and congress has made liberal
appropriations to that end.
And again, under the heading Chap
lains, he says:
Under the law there are thirty-four
chaplains-one each for the four col
ored regiments, and thirty for the
army at large. There are at present
one hundred and fourteen posts, so
that large number of soldiers are
compelled to be without religious in
struction. In view of the policy of
the department to concentrate the
troops in larger posts, this evil will
rapidly diminish. 1t is to be regretted,
however, that of the several duties de-
volving upon the government for the
education and improvement of its
soldiers, this most essential element
of all should be even temporarily neg
lected
1t will be noticed how the point is
dwelt upon that the government is
insisting upon the policy of "concen-
trating the troops" not scattering
them about in one company, posts
here and there. In the face of such
policy how could Austin, just for the
sake of some private satisfaction, hope
to have a handful of soldiers quarter
ed here? In state matters Austin
may have some influence, but in max
ing Uncle Sam do a thing against his
will she would stand very poor show
of success.
