GREAT TEXAS.
How the Lone Star State is Being Adj
Vertised.
Investors-A Favorite Field for
Inquiry.

The daily market letter, April 5, of
Watson s. Gibson, New York, says:
Texas, the greatest state south of Mason
and Dixon IS line, is now favorite field
for inquiry by the investor, and if public
sentiment there is honest and intelligent
toward capital, money will pour into its
territory to stimulate trade and in
dustry.
The president of the Fort Worth board
Of trade, in recounting the vast resources
of Texas, calls attention to the fact that
the state debt is less than 81 200 600,
while the mortgage debt of the state, in
Guiding municipal and individual indebt-
edness, is estimated at less than $685.
600, 000-against 5000 900 600 i'll Kan
sas, and $3.50 900, 900 in Iowa. The
school fund is the largest of any state in
the Union, amounting now to over S70,-
900, 900, soon to become $500, 900 900,
and the expenditure of the interest on
this fund ought to insure the education
of the masses in the state, to the great
benefit of property rights. The railway
mileage of the state is the third in rank
in the Union.
The greatest claim that can be
put forward for Texas, to our
minds, is that, by fortunate
union of climate and soil, the north
ern half of the state can produce, with
equal polificness, cotton, wheat and corn.
This places the Texas farmer in posi-
ton to choose that crop, which promises
to command the best prices after harvest.
We adhere to our previous expressions
that stock in cotton earring roads is safer
to hold than in wheat or corn carriers,
for the reason that the product is more
valuable, and hence a given transporta-
ton tax is less oppressive. Recent NUT
terings of discomfort, accompanied by
revolutionary and debt repudiating sentl-
ments from the corn and wheat states,
deters the investment of capital in such
sectinns

HELP THE ROADS,"
A Letter from a Prominent Railroader at St
Louis-Fhoroughly Advertise Each
Districts Resources.
WICHITA FALLS, TEX, April Il, 1873

WICHITA FALLS, Tex, April Il, 1890.
To the Gazette. -
A well-knoTn railroad official of st.
Louis, in writing to friend in this city +,
has the following TO say in reference to
advertising Texas and the home-seekers
excursions 10 the state from the old
states:
ST. Louis, No. April 10, 1880.
Friend Howard:
L have q GAZETTE of a late date in
which notice an article headed ''Help
the Roads, - and l will say that the idea
is an excellent one, and if the different
counties that want emigration-and be-
lieve they all need it-would go to work
and advertise the resources Of the state,
and more particularly their own respec-
tive districts, it would result in great
good to all. Several years ago, you re-
member very well the time, when Kan
sas was hustling for immigration, they
sent agents in all the old states with
plenty of printed matter, giving glowing
accounts of the resources and
capabilities and products OF the
great sunflower state, and the DO
suit was they got the immigration and
also capitalists to invest their money land
send them back home, and when they
got home they we're excellent agents for
Kansas; and If Texas will go and do like
wise they, will in few years get S. back
for the 81 they will spend in that man

THE death of Samuel j. Randall
leaves another vacancy in the house of
representatives which will be filled by
the Republicans. The Third Pennsylva-
MIA district, to which he was first seaected
in 1868, and which he represented BON
tlnuously until his death, Is a RepubH-
can district. No Democrat, other than
MIR. Randall, who was a proteetIonist,
could have been elected IN the district,
which is one of the strongholds of the
proteotionists. His death, therefore,
means not only the loss to the country of
one of her ablest and purest public men
but the loss to the Democratic party of
another congressional district, since it is
hardly possible that the Republicans will
support anyone but a straight-out pro-
lection Republican for his seat.

LEE,S MONNMENT.

Without becoming liable to the charge
of bitter seotionalism, q candid mind
may doubt the proprietY of inviting the
famous New York Seventh regiment to
be present at the unwilling of the Lee
monument at Richmond.
Gen. Lee was the noble exponent of
state loyalty as we'll as the exemplar OF
true manliness that challenges the adj
miration of q world. This monument
has been erected by those who not only
loved the man, but loved the leader.
Women contributed to its erection who
had given their dear ones to the cause
for which he unsheathed the sword, and
for which the life-blood of fathers, sons,
husbands and brothers was spilled. To
erect this testimonial, men SCARED in
many q battle have contributed their
means, and when on the goth of May
the sons of lost cause shall gather
there, to them it will be the enduring
tribute of true sentiment-bodylng forth
not only the nobility of the man--whose
strong affection that dwells in the
hearts of the friends of Robert f.
Lee. TO them.it whispers in soft MUIR
murs the dear traditions OF a buried
past; it tells of a patriots dream and
''of a storm Graded nation that fell. F."
To those on the other side in the great
conflict ali this is meaningless, and out
of sympathy, their presence in mill
tary body would be out of place.
There is danger that some intemper-
ateness might manifest itself, and. thus
mar the solemn harmony Of the COCA
sion. In fact, it As easier to advance
reasons fol a declination of the invitation
than for its acceptance. In that gather
ing of friends there seems to be no rea-.
son for the organized presence of those
who. though compelled TO admire the
man because of his many virtues, were
in military life opposing the s'general"
most vigorously. With uncovered heads
Christian gentleman, whose religion was
made real to all by the spirit perVading
his life; but as it is loving hands only
that lay flowers upon the quiet bosom of
our best beloved, so it seems fitting that
the soldiers only who followed him as
leader, the ,sops of the South who drew
inspiration: from his life and from his
teaching. should add grandeur TO a
pageant that beneath its surface has
deeper Significance than stranger can
fathom, ~,
This unwilling docs not seem to be a
fitting occasion for an ostentation of
fraternal sentiment, but rather a time
when friends draw near to recount the
virtues of loved one and to live over
scenes in which each bore part, and
where this great captain was the guiding
spirit. Then, with no want of hospital
ity, without seotionalism or bitterness, it
seems appropriate that in those cere-
monies that are to celebrate the high
qualities of Robert &. Lee, friends tried
in adversely and constant in defeat
should alone be permitted to bear part.

Splendid Rafhs Throughout the Country.
Wheat apd Oats Assured-After a Medal
WfcHrTA FALLS, TEX. April 10, 1890.
To the Gazette. e.
Another fine rain fell throughout this
section of the country yesterday and last
night. The ground is vet down eighteen
inches to two feet. This removes any
doubt that may have existed as to the
wheat and oat crop for this season.
There never has been in the history of
the country better prospect for good
crops than there is at the present time.
Mr.. Columbus Waller, the gentleman
who furnished the wheat to cover the
large dome of the Spring Palace last
year, says tell THE GAZETTE and its
readers that he is after one OF those gold
medals this year, and is bound to have it

ow leavening ''the whole lump" The
people have had time to think. The Ka n
sas farmer, by the light of his blazing
corn crop, has been sitting the sophis-
tries of the tariffites, and is beginning to
realize why he is loaded down with
mortgages, while the tariff magnates are
growing constantly richer as he
grows constantly poorer. The toiling
ones of the country, who have looked in
vain for cheaper food and clothing or
higher wages, under Harrison s admin
istration, but who have, on the contrary,
had to accept lower wages than ever, are
beginning TO see how they were duped
and deceived by the Republican leaders.
The latter already see unmistakable in
dications of a revolution in public senti-
ment, and with Mr.. Mckinley and others
hard at work in the Republican kitchen,
they are preparing a tariff-re form sop
with free sugar favor with which to
again deceive the voters of the land, and
hold them IN line for the next presi-
dental campaign.
Mr.. Mills, Mr.. Carlisle and MIR. Breck-
enridge, with other able Democrats, are
on deck, however, ready, when the Nc
Kinley bill comes before the house, to
show its deceptive and delusive nature
TO the country, and by doing so to still
further accelerate the rapidly growing
sentiment in favor of q sincere and honest
revision of the tariff which is taking pos
session of the public mind.

AN IMPENDING REVOLUTION.

The Republican tariff thinkers in the

party great service, aud, without in
tending it, are advancing the cause of
tariff reform. They realize that some
thing must be done, though they know

reform. That campaign was an eduea-

Mr.. Carlisle, of Mr.. Thurman aud other
great Democratic and tariff reform
leaders; the editorials appearing in the
