THE nurTERwoRTH BILL.

The universal testimony of leading
persons in the South most familiar
with the subject is that the bill, if it
becomes law, will work immense in
jury TO the cotton States. The inten-
tons of the bill may be good. Such
are, however, said to constitute the
pavement of hades. Apparently the
main purpose of the bill is to abolish
stock gambling in the produce ex-
changes in the South, but to do that
it is necessary to include speculations
in cotton futures as we'll as options on
grain and pork. Now in the cotton
exchanges Of the South a future is
based on written contract,
the same as a lease, note OF
hand or any other contract. Whereas,
the Butterworth bill makes the blum
der of putting cultures" in the same
category as "options," which is simply
a bet between two parties as to
whether the market will go up or
down. Therefore, while it might be
desirable to abolish the option, it does
not follow that the cotton future
ought to meet the same fate.

1t is held by the opponents of the
bill in the South that asystem Of le-
climate cotton futures stimulates the
price of the staple and prevents
changes and fluctuations that would
amount TO most undesirable feature
of the market. Europe takes 70 per
cent of the cotton crop OF this
United States, and to abolish futures
here would be simply cutting our own
Threats for the benefit of The foreign
exchanges which would do the future
business which the Butterworth bill
prevents us from doing or getting the
profits, which would fall into foreign
hands. Such would certainly be a
poor, even foolish policy.

A Trip to Old Mexico Frequently Made for.

One Dollar.
1t is surprising how little is known
OF our sister republic by the citizens
of the United States, although it is
easily reached by water or rail. The
large percentage of Americans seem
to satisfy themselves with the thought
that Mexico is only narrow strip at
tached to our country. and compare it
with the tail of kite, instead of
knowing that it contains twenty
seven large States and 100000
people.
Those desiring to study a different
race OF people, enjoy picturesque seem

toms and more novel sights than ever

TO give bulk to the food, it can be fed
safely to hogs and horses, which thrive
on it, when judiciously fed.
This discovery lessons the difficulty
arising from short corn crop and
gives the Southern farmer great adj
vantage over his brother of the North
and East.
The color of plants indicates quail
ity OF soil. Farmers are accustomed
to read in their agricultural papers
much quasi scientific information rel
ative to soils and the ingredients es-
sential to plant life. They are told
that certain crops require potash, nj
trogen, phosphoric acid, etc., and that
the soil must contain these elements
or said crops will not grow. They are
willing to accept, these statements,
but want something more. They
cannot, by looking at, smelling or
handling it, tell what its chemical
constituents are or what is lacking,
and it is only after having tried to
grow certain crop on a certain
piece of land and failed that the far
mer can definitely know what appli-
cations to make.
The scientist has not given any
way of determining beforehand
the fitness of a soil for a specific
crop. What is needed is an easy, prac-
teal way to analyze soils
and determine the presence or absence
of essential properties.
Every observant horticulturist has
noticed that when a plant bears an
abundance of dark green foliage it is
healthy and fruitful, and that when
the leaves are yellow or pale green
the plant is not thrifty or prolific. He
is also aware that these varying condi-
tions of the foliage are due to the
character of the soil, but his knowl-
edge ends there. The black land
farmers Of Texas have had no occasion
to worry, as the rich soil, even under
the worst treatment, gives good re-
turns without the aid of fertilizer. 1t
is, however, only question of time
when our supposed inexhadstible soils
will be entirely robbed of their fer
tility, unless systematic course of
cultivation be practiced which will re-
store the food element removed by the
crop.
Potash, lime, phosphate and nitro
gen are the chief elements of plant
food. Our black lands contain an
abundance of lime for generations to
come, but the other ingredi-
ents can always be applied
with advantage to the land.
stable manure contains them all in
combination, and whenever land fails
to grow rich dark green foliage such
manure will certainly do good.
RATS.
Complaints come from every section
of the State about the prevalence and
destructiveness of rats. What was at
one time looked upon as casual visi-
tation has become permanent resi-
dence, and some active and concerted
action must be taken if the plague is
to be removed from our borders. Be
tween rats and weevils the beautiful
corn crop of last year is well high ex-
hausted, and the mischief from the
former may be looked for with con-
tidence unless unrelenting war is
waged against the pest.
1t has been suggested to pay
bounty on rat scalps as is now done on
wolves. A small bounty would give
boys an interest in rat hunting and
doubtless help forward the desired re-
suit, but Trough on Rats" terriers,
cats, snakes, hawks, and owls,
if given a fair showing, will quickly
rrstore the "bdlance of nature"

EsCAPADE OF A TEXAS DESPERATE.
AUSTIN, Tex, Saturday. DalziePs
Telegram Deputy Sheriff Miller ar
rived here yesterday afternoon with
warrant for the arrest OF Jack Calvert.
He engaged the services OF porter at
hotel to assist him. About III
o'clock they found Calvert in a saloon.
He drew a revolvexand shot Miller in
the throat, the 5hot passing clean
through his neck, severing the wind
pipe. 1t then lodged in the head OF
the porter. Miller died almost imme-
diately and his companion was fatally
injured. Calvert then began to shoot
wildly, wounding three other persons,
one of them-the proprietor OF the
saloon-so seriously that he will die
He managed to make his escape.
AUSTIN, Texas, March 31.-Jack
Calvert, the desperate, is dead. Three
of the victims of his revolver are dead,
the other two are dying. The posse
of men organized to pursue him found
him in farm barn about ten miles
from here. He was called upon to
surrender. He shouted back a de-
fiance, and emptied the contents OF a
shot gun into the midst of his en-
emies. Then a general fusillade COM
menced. When the smoke cleared
away Calvert was seen on the ground
literally riddled with bullets. OF the
posse only one received serious in
juries.
There is absolute not one peg OF
truth in the whole thing upon which
to hang such a string of falsehoods.
Is it possible that the author of that
dispatch lives in Austin and irater-
Misses with our citizens? Could he
have the assurance to walk our streets
after so fully slandering our city? Such
a thing is monstrous; as in assailing
the fair name of city
you touch with foul hand that
which should be unsullied even as a
woman's hands should not be breathed
upon. What infinite harm such lies
do, cannot be estimated. The hand
that penned that telegram would have
been better engaged in cutting Aus
tins political and financial throat here
at home. We could then at least
have had the satisfaction OF fighting
an open and known enemy.

VICTORY! VICTORY!

After well fought battle comes
the loud shout of victory AustIn's
pluck and confidence in her future
have triumphed. By the impulse of
one day with the driftings of its
softly falling ballots the queen city
of an empire State has been sent for
ward a half century. What was con-
ceived in doubt and fear is now to
be an accomplished fact in the broad
light OF open day. What was an
empty dream, wild stretch Of fancy,
is to be realized entity, blessing
unspeakable. What was talked of
with grave misgivings as an
extreme possibility has now been or
dered a city institution. But note
how as vague desire has been meta
morphosed into strong hope and then
determination, how also the scope OF
the enterprise has broadened out and
been matured. An infant dam has
given place to q structure and access
cries suited to a city of 100000 peo-
ple--a1d such structure it is the
people OF Austin yesterday ordered
with an imperious command. Is it
not indeed right that with trumpet
call we send forth the shout dear to
every manly heart-"victoryll
But our JOY must have just
one pause. This is victory,
not of fully accomplished result,
but Of preparation. 1t is the first
fall in wrestling bout, the first heat
in race OF thorouqhbreds. Before
the laurel wreath is adjudged, how
much of energy and determination
must be expended. We have declared
our intention to do a certain thing
but its accomplishment is yet of the
future. Things ale brighter, more
hopeful for us than ever before in the
history OF Austin, but it is now for us
to leave no stone unturned that we
may measure up to the full limit of
our possibilities. The dam is not yet
built Austin is not yet a city of
100000 people. This is the work be-
fore us, this the goal towards which
yesterday the first step was taken.
So that today as with bouyant hope
and unbounded JOY we shout victory,
let us remember it is but the victory
of a magnificent start and not of the
finish.
