THE Globe. Democrat says: "Sena'
tor Hale insists that both Blaine and
Mckinley are right and that their re-
spective plans of tariff adjustment can
easily be reconciled, as one applies
solely to Central and South America,
while the other is mainly designed to
apply to Europe, where the conditions
are entirely different. That is to say
we need protection against the coun-
tries of the Old World, but not against
those OF this hemisphere, and so the
two policies are perfectly consistent,
instead of being contradictory, as the
Democrats charge"
II this be true why can not Senator
Hale and his brother senators join
their great leader, Blaine, and compel
Messrs. Reed, Mckinley ct al at the
other end of the capitol to pass a
sweeping South and Central American
reciprocity bill? Let them reconcile
their little difference, if little they are,
but let us get closer to our neighbors
to the south of us.

A Great Missionary Gathering.

Plans are Being perfected for a
National Missionary Conference to be
held at Indianapolis, Indiana, Sep
TENDER SO, 1890.
Prominent missionary workers,
evangelists and Y. NJ. G. A. workers
will be present, among them Bishop
VIM. Taylor, of Africa; DR.. A. I. Pier
son, author of Crisis of Missions; w.
E. Blackstone of Chicago, with his
large maps of the world; Robt. E.
Speer of Pennsylvania; I. T. Horton,
general secretary Y. M, G. A., ST.,
Paul; and A. Nash, State secretary,
Nebraska, together with many mis-
sionary volunteers from different Sec
tions of the country. AS is we'll known
to our readers, remarkable providences
have combined in recent years to
open the doors for the spread
ing of the Gospel among the
nations of the earth. Especially
may this be said of Africa and China.
There are also many evidences of great
movements toward the preaching Of
the gospel to "every creature" and this
meeting promises to be one Of unusual
interest and Importance.
The theme of the gathering will be
"Shall the Gospel be Given to All
People During this Generation?"
Special railroad rates are being ar
ranged for and it is expected that the
good people of Indianapolis will pro-
vide entertainment for the delegates.

their conclusions and estimates have
been given to the world in book
recently published. The estimates
are based on small grain over North
ern country roads, but as the most
loyal Texan will not claim that our
roads are superior to those in the
Northern States the estimates may be
fairly applied to our case. They es-
innate that the average cost of haul
ing 100 bushels of grain one mile is 20
cents on country roads. The average
cost of hauling 100 bushels of wheat
one mile by rail is said to be one-third
Of a cent.
If there is no mistake in the fgur-
ing this gives the farmer something to
reflect about.
According to this statement it costs
$50 times as much to haul produce
from the farm to the railway station
as it does to haul it the same distance
by rail.
Assuming the correctness of these
estimates, what is the moral to be de-
duced? Clearly vhis, that the wagon
road, not the railroad, is the farmers
worst enemy, and that while trying to
get better railroad rates nothing
should be left undone to cheaper
transportation over country roads.
1t is hardly possible to spend too
much money over the improvements CT
our country roads, if it is wisely spent.
1t is an anomaly that farmers are
slower to appreciate the advantages Of
good roads than their city brethren.
If they will but fairly investigate the
matter they cannot fail to see that
only benefit could spring from i'm.
proved roads, and they would vote to
man for the constitutional amend
ment

The Waco Day: "The Waco
Street Railway company is about to
expend $150,000 to improve its plant,
the Waco Water and Power company
will begin shortly the expenditure of
$200,000 to improve its property, and
the Provident Life Assurance Associa-
ton company is spending over $780,
600 on building. This money is
Eastern capital and shows how Waco
is regarded in the East as a place for
investment" Congratulations neigh
Dor, with all our heart But Austin
will just see you and so you about
800 per cent better. She is now about
having 100000 of Western money
put down in an electric street railroad,
and will shortly plant 81 100000 of
Eastern capital in dam up the river.
The exact amount to be spent in
street improvements has not yet been
determined upon.

FORCE BILL IN THE NORTH.

Tue general idea has been that this
Infamous measure was designed alone
for the South. In fact this declaration
was openly made by Republican lead
ers on the floor in the house. But the
more the movement is studied, the
more apparent it becomes that, while
the bill is aimed at the South as q
section, it may become operative IN
the more pronounced Democratic
communities OF the North. 1T is not
improbable the designs OF the con-
spirators included New York as well
as South Carolina. 1t is just as easy
for 100 Republicans to sign petition
to the Federal judge in one State
as another and on the same pretext,
the incentive being the same, namely,
counting in the Republican candidate.
There is little doubt the bill, if it be-
comes law, will be invoked in close
or doubtful districts, where there Is
any possibility of throwing out enough
Democratic votes to return Repub-
lican to congress.
Take, for instance, Spinola's dis
trict, the tenth, in New York. The
Democratic majority is only about
100. How easy for 100 strikers for
the Republican to call in the assist
ance of a Republican judge, count out
900 or 1000 votes and have the GER
tificate issued to the Republican
So tremendous an engine OF polit-
ical power in the hands of any
party may be used for all it is worth
and it is so constructed as to be
equally as effective against the Demo
cratic party, and popular rights in the
North, as against the Democratic
South. Just how far the people OF the
North would stand the execution o.
the law among themselves and the
shadow of the bayonet at the ballot
box, without approaching the verge
of another civil war is hard to con
lecture.

wEEvIL IN CORN.
1t is much to be feared that our
present corn crop will be severely at
tackled by the weevil. Many farmers
report them in force already, and ex-
perience teaches that they will increase
in numbers. Now is the time to pre-
pare to fight them. Plans innumer-
able have been tried to circumvent the
little plague. They have been seasoned
with salt and buried in cedar brush
and china berry. They have been
quartered in high overground
cribs and incarcerated in underground
dungeons, but they have survived
every such ordeal.
A new suggestion, to me, was made
recently.
1t is stated that air Stacked lime
spread over the corn as it is put in
the crib, will prevent the weevil from
injuring the corn, but to my mind
the only sure and certain way is to
fumigate the corn with sulphur. This
is simple and inexpensive plan when
the cornis stored in a suitable crib.
To be effective the crib should be
as near as possible air tight and
raised about two feet above ground.
The floor Of the crib may he slightly
open to allow the sulphur fumes to
ascend to the corn. The sulphur
should be put in iron dishes or old
buckets and placed on the ground
under the crib. OF course the space
under the crib must be air tight as
well as the sides and top, so that the
fumes from the burning sulphur can
not escape but must rise through the
openings in the floor and finally per-
meate every nook and Granny. The
first fumigation should be done before
any corn is cribbed, and when the
crop is all housed the fumigating
should be thorough, as it is difficult
for the fumes to penetrate to the in
te rior of a close fitting shuck.
Twenty-four to thirty-six hours fu-
migation according to the capacity of
the crib will be enough to annihilate
the last of the race,
This is a sure specific if faithfully
applied, and now is the time to test
it.
