Wednesday six deaths occurred; 1t was
claimed by some to be typhoid fever.

died at 4 o'clock of cholera, after in

cholera. -.'..
CANTON, o., Sept. 14.-There has
been an epidemic of typhoid fever with
five deaths in Washington township
within week and several critical cas-
.es. Physicians here are investigating
and think Toole, who Is said to have
died of Asiatic cholera, really died of a
malignant attack of fever. They don't
think 1t a case of cholera although DIR.
Williams maintains the correctness OF
his diagnosis. The authorities are bad
ly frightened and reports to-day say
that Toole and the premises are being
quarantined and an investigation has
been ordered. 1t is certain that ty-
phoid fever is alarmingly prevalent,
John Ray Milton, Ray Ezekiel Stewart
and Mrs. Robert Mclaughlin have died
Of this disease within o week. 1t is
probable that the State board of health
will be called to the matter.

Senator Hoar's Denial.

The Marietta (Ohio) Register pub
fishes the following letter from Sena-
tor Hoar:
WASHINGTON, Aug. rs, 1890.
MY DEAR SIR: 1t has not occurred to
me that it was worth while to deny the
silly falsehood which you clip from the
Marietta Times and send me; but you
will find that it is denied in aletter, OF
which inclose a copy, which was writ
ten for another purpose. These little
stories have their day. l suppose the
people who read them merely wonder
if there is any truth in them.
lam faithfully yours,
GEO. F. HoAR.
The "silly falsehood,n as the Senator
calls 1t, is the following report Of an
alleged speech uttered by him in Re-
publican Senatorial conference as fol-
lows: ~ sa4
While I favor pressing the tariff bill,
sooner than that this Congress should
not pass the Federal election bill,
would prefer to see every manufactur-
ing establishment in Massachusetts
burned to ashes and the people of the
State required to labor In callings In
which they could not make more than
so cents per day, and be required to live
oncod fish.
We have already stated that we al
first doubted this report, but we under.
stand from certain Senators who heard
what Mr.. Hoar said, that he was report
ed with substantial accuracy. In the
letter "for another purpose, which the
Senator refers to, we do not find any
denial at all. We suppose the Sena'
tor founds his denial on some verbal in
accuracy in the statement. We believe
that it represents substantially what h
said, and the statements of other Re
publican Senators are the basis of ou
belief Washington Democrat.

TEXAS IN TYPE.
TEXAS CROPS AND WEATHER

| The young wheat in Cooks county
never was more thrifty nor looked more
| promising than at the present time.
The people of johnson county have
been sowing wheat for the last six weeks
and are not done yet. The acreage Is
| largely increased.
Wheat, corn and oats being the chief
products of this country. the amount of
| cotton raised aud marketed here this
| season, says tue Seymour Monitor, is
surprising. Mr. g. H. Moody, pros
| porous Baylor county farmer, is among
| the few men who have expert
mented with the staple. and he informs
us that his yield has been entirely salts
factory. He raised al average OF one
half bale per acre, though the season
| was not as favorable rs has been known
here. Next year, il is safe to estimate
that not less than 400 or 500 acres OF land
will be sown in cotton. McLarty
brothers, who have leased the Joe Wood
year fern, alone will put in 100 acres,
and the Monitor has heard of others who
intend planting almost as heavily. There
is no question but what Baylor is cot
ton, as well rs q grain county.
Fine rains of the last ten days have
put the Abilene country wheat IN tine
| condition.
Cisco, as usual, is handling a heavy
pecan trade.
The report comes from FRnnin county
that he cotton crop is immense. The
somewhat mythical top crop is materIsli-
zing rapidly.
Enough cotton has been marketed ct
Abilene to put about Sl25 200 in circule
ton, and ns much more Will be marketed
there during the net six weeks.
Cotton is yet thriving in Burnet
county, and Is better than the estimate
when picking began. Corn is not SO
plentiful as usual, but Irish potatoes are
good. The wheat crop is growing very
fast and will be able 10 withstand Il hard
winter.
1t rained all Saturday night, Monday
ana Monday night in Baylor county, and
farmers Of that section are happy.
Ground is beng broken aud prepared for
the sowing of large acreage next
spring. Wheat throughout the county
looks fine. great many farmers are
pasturng their wheat now and il never
looked as fine as II does this year.
The rain has been ample for all pur-
poses, according to the Waco News. 1t
puts IL good season In the ground that
will keep the grain growing all the
winter.
GAINESVILLE, Nov. lS.-After
week IS rain the weather is clear and
fair. Wheat never before at this season
looked so we'll. The fields are a shield
of living green and the farmers expect
ant of abundant harvest. The acreage
in Cooke county is the largest ever
planted. Thousands of acres of virgin
prairie soil on Spring, Wheat and Duck
creeks. in Western Cooke county, have
i'll the last year been broken and so ed
in wheat.
NEVADA, Nov. 17.-There Ia sunshine
to-day tor the first time in ten days,
Repeated henyy rains have fallen during
the past week. Ground is more thor
oughly wet than at any time during the
year. Cotton is greatly damaged. much
of it destroyed. Perhaps one-third of
the crop is yet ungathered.

THE SINGLE TAX.

Mr.. Henry George is a gentleman with
has become so thoroughly identified with
that idea Us to be almost household
word. Everybody has heard of
the single-tax theory of raising the nec-
essarY revenue for carrying on the gov
ernment. OF this theory, he is the
apostle aud chief exponent-and on it
he is at present lecturing throughout the
South at fifty cents per head for ell who
desire Information about 1t at first hand.
Whatever may be said of the single
tax doctrine-and u good deal has been
said pro and CONT must be admitted
that it is IN very good hands, and has for
its expounder very able and ingenious
advocate. A doctrine less unpopular
than the sinele-taS theory, would drag
whose intellectual resources fell short of
Mr.. Georges. In his hands, single tax
has not only dragged, but has made
progress, and IN this country, too,
WHERE tuo tllitTs Va tho Bull luo lduu-
lords thereof. The curious may find in
this circumstance, a rather significant
proof that all is not we'll with our
economic regime, and that change of
some sort would not be unwelcome to
many.
The activity of the Alliances and
similar organizations Of agriculturists,
nroves that economic reform or better
ment is needful, yea, imperative.
Doubtless Mr.. George would not hesitate
to promise abundant relief to the farm
ers from the adoption of his theory
which, of course, involves the re-
linouishment of the existing mode of
taxation.
Should he do SO, instantly would come
the query, 'How, MIR. George, can you
reconcile with justice and equity your
theory of taxing land values alone, and
exempting from taxation the money,
stocks and bonds of old Moueybags who
owns no landf'' OF course Mr.. George
has an answer for that. The objection is
so very obvious, and sure to be- lung at
him that, like the thoughtful virgin who
kept her lamp trimmed, he prepared for
il beforehand.
In substance his reply would be, prob
ably, that old Moneybags does not now,
and never has paid his share of taxes on
the personally owned by him; that he i
skilled iu erading the tax-assessor and
collector, and thereby In shifting the
burden Of tax from his own TO the shout

Of the laud-tillers and breadwnners.
This argument ia supplemented by
others n trihe less clear and demon
strable 10 the average mind, but in
geniously wrought out and admirably
presented.
But ingenious arSu mentstIon and
plausible theorizinG, admirable though
they be, ell go down before the one plain
and perfectly understood fac; that the
farmer and landowner must pay thas
