the provoking setback with such grace
az they. can summon. The plea which
they made for separate election boxes is
virtual confession that participating in
practical politics is not in their line. 1t
appears also to contradict the claim
made by the advocates of woman suf-
frage that the presence of women at the
polls will have an elevatlng and purifying
effect on practical politics.

RNILD EACTORLE 6

When the Hon. Barnet Gibbs said to q
| GAZETTE reporter day or two ago, that
Hwe are ss much the slaves of the East
as the negroes were our slaves and
furthermore, that the East looks on
Southerners as SO many chumps, he
stated what is to some extent q humil-
iating truth and a stubborn fact. The
.nsufferable arrogance and insulting
lmpudenoe of Eastern politicians is the
ogcal outcome of commercial suprem-
acy and manufacturing wealth in that
Section. For years and years, the pow
ers of government have been perverted
to the building up of tina commercial
supremacy, and the people of the South
unable to prevent the unjust favoritism,
have done nothing more than to protest
against it in vain. Perhaps they were
until recently unable, for good and cuff
cient reasons, to do no more. But thai
is not true now. The era of development
that overspread the West soon afer the war
has recently begun IN the South, WHO'S
that of any section of the Union. She has
what no other section has, the raw ma
terial for nearly all the textile fabrics
needed in the country, and in cotton she
has enough for two such countries as the
United States, with cotton to spare. Yet
all, or nearly oil, her cotton and WOO
still go, as they have gone for 100 years
or more, to New England, to be man
ufaotured and resold to US for a
sum nearly double that paid us for
the raw material. Is it wonderful that
New England should sheer at and treat
the South with contumelY and contempt,
that her Reeds, Blairs, Chambers and
Lodges should mock our professions and,
with studied malice, invent ways for in
sultlng and humiliating us? A man is
apt to feel a sort of contempt for another
weaker than himself, whose continued
weakness Is his own fault, and who could
be an athlete if he would. The con-
tempt felt for such one will be more
manifest when he leans for support upon
the stronger, instead of trying to become
self-supporting and In manner indie
pendent. Texas sells her cotton to
New England, when she might
manufacture it herself, If she would.
The money received for it is paid back
again to the New Highlander, and much
more along with it, and people wonder
why Texas has not more wealth, or why
New England has SO much.
The farmer that sells his corn, instead
of converting it into beet and pork, is
poor manager, and will always be on the
verge Of poverty. He will never get
ahead Just so with the country that
sells its cotton and wool and buys both
back again at largely increased price
in the form of clothing and other neces-
ssries. There is no hope for such
country until it wakes up and utilities
the means with which providence has
favored it,

THE WEEKLY GAZETTE.

The constantly growing circulation OF
the Weekly GAZETTE is evidence that the
effort to furnish a frst-ciass paper de-
voted to the interests of the people is be-
ing appreciated.
The Weekly GAZETTE is twelve page
paper, containing a summary of the news
of the world for each week, and is filled
with choice literature and miscellaneous
reading matter, which must prove in
structive and entertaining to the young
as well as to the old.
The Agricultural Department, edited
by Professor STEELE, recently introduced,
commends the Weekly GAZETTE to all
Texas farmers and contains matter each
issue more than worth the price of the
paper.
AS an advertising medium the Weekly
GAZETTE is incomparably superior to any
published in the Southwest, and offers
unequalled facilities TO all who wish to
reach the people of Texas.

the Incorporation and regulation
of banks, whereas Texas is wholly
unprovided with either au enabling or
intelligent regulative state banking law.
The absence OF such a law in the latter
state has compelled capitalists to estab-
lish national banks. 1t might be as
serted that this would not prevent the
organization of private institutions, and
ii certainly does not but the fact remains
that capital, sensitive and easily dis
coursged, prefers the sanction of state or
national authority before it can be per-
suaded to come out of its secure place.
Does the absence of law for the incor-
poration of q bank act as detriment to
the material welfare of the state of Texas?
1t would be difficult to answer this ques-
ton with satisfactory degree of GER
tainty if we should contemplate merely
the statistical record of her growth in
trade and industry, for that has been
advancing in almost geometrical pro-
erosion. Look rather for a solution
of the question to the increasing number
OF small communities in that state which
are capable of supporting q bank of mod
crate capital, but which are debarred
from that privilege because the national
banking system cannot accommodate it
self to their smaller needs. Now, bank
operating in growing town where in
dustrial power lies dormant but full OF
promise, should be able 10 loan copious-
ly, subject to the dictates of ordinary
prudence in every direction. This the
national banks cannot do, for they are
enJoined at the very outset from making
loans on real estate. 1t is this disability
on the part of this otherwise admirable
the reach of many vital business oenters
in Texas, to the detriment of har-
monious financial growth. We should
like to see this question taken up by the
Texas bankers, who are an intelligent
and far-seeiug body OF financers.

STATE BANKS IN TEXAS.
No State in the Union Has Displayed
Financial Development So Rapid.
American Banker.

American Banker.
The progress of banking matters in the
state of Texas presents an interesting
inquiry to the observer. No state in the
Union has displayed a financial develop
ment so constant, and of late so rapid,
as the commonwealth to which we refer.
It was shown some time ago that for a
given recent period there were more
national banks founded in Texas than
elsewhere, and the energy and enthus-
iasm among the business men which had
made such record possible, does not
seem to be diminishing. There are
many small towns in the state which are
ripe for the founding of banking institu-
tons, where in fact the call for the ad-
vautages which such institutions offer, is
imperative, and where at the same time,
there is q disposition TO contribute
largely to the establishment of q sound
banking enterprise. One Is struck by
the curious and not inexplicable fact,
that the banks which are being founded
in Texas are exclusively based upon
charter from the Federal government.
In other states, banking capital is nearly
evenly divided between state and
national banks, while the state of
Nebraska, with Its many little communi-
ties, exhibits the opposite tendency,
viz, to procure its banking charters
from the state rather than from the
general government. The reason for
for this interesting contrast is as clear as
it is Instructive, for Nebraska has
adopted an admirable law for

and published by Charles Scribuer' q
Sons, is one of these comparatively rare
volumes. The author Is By no means q
stranger to the reading public, having in
books of travel given it peep into many
foreign lands, this glimpse of our own
South land, being the eighth volume of
his published writings.
DR.. Field as editor of the New York
Evangelist, furnishes some choice read
ing, one, the special feature of that pa
per, being his letters.
The book under consideration contains
not only vivid descriptions of Florida,
where his health compelled him to winter
but abounds in historical interest as we'll
as in calm ,dispassIonate discussion of the
problems confronting the Southern peo-
pie. His counsel to the colored people is
wise, and his views of the relation the
races bear TO each other most temperate
1t is in the reminiscent that the peculiar
charm of his writing lies. As he passes
from one battle ground to another, often
accompanied by eye witnesses of the con-
ttict, he gives the reader q sense
of actual presence, and wheth-
er he is following Gen. Hood
or General Schofield through the fight at
Franklin or Stonewsll Jackson in the
valley of the Shenandoah, the conviction
is irresistible that the story is most truth
fully told. His estimate of Generals
Lee and Jackson is formed by clear
judgment, and his eulogY of these ex-
ceptional men is all the more delight
some because it is testimony to their
worth from q man who was graded
among the hills of Massachusetts,, and
believes the civil war a just one aud Its
results beneficial to both sections.
DR.. Field is most graceful writer and
the charm Of his writing is not dispelled
by the fact that the reader may differ
from him in some of the conclusions he
believes to be logically drawn.
