time from taxation are yet to be created,
and the purpose of the exemption is to
create such values for future taxation.
The exemption is temporary, and the
values created by it will remain to swell
the assessable values for all time.
The exemption would not cost the peo-
pie of Texas one cent, or add feather s
weight of burden to the shoulders OF any
man.
The exemption would bring mill ions OF
foreign money into Texas for permanent
investment, giving employ to LABOR
in the erection of buildings aud appre-
ciating values IN town and country.
The exemption proposed is not proteo-
ton to foreign capitalists and syndicates,
but protection to the people of Iexas
against foreign manufacturers and
transportation lines.
The exemption proposed is the SIM
plest, cheapest, most effective inouee-
ment to promote the building of cotton
mills, wooden mills, tanneries, shoe 1ao-
tories, refrigerators, packeries and FUR
naces and foundries in the state of Texas.
Let the people of the state soberly ana
seriously consider the proposition.

sBS6MED TO an EARLY DEATH.

DOOMED TO an EARLY DEATH.
It becomes more and more apparent
that the sub-treasury scheme Is doomed
even among the farmers themselves
Discussion of its merits, or rather its de-
merits. has developed such inherent
weakness aud rottenness in the out
landish thing that they who at first
hailed il as grand charter guarantee
ing renewed life and prosperity to the
farmer, now begin TO doubt its wisdom,
aud suspect that it is not what it was
cracked up to be. Like all other TAOS,
or will the wisps, it rose out OF the
murkiness developing distressed
class, lived its brief hour and ID
now rapidly passing out OF sight
There was nothing surprising about 1t,
for phantasmas of equally ephemeral
natures are continually being born only
to dazzle for q moment. and then be
swallowed up in darkness. IT'S so, or
will be, with this latest product of the
fens and marshes. We read not long
ago that in some congressional districts
of the South, zeal in its behalf was flag
cling sensibly, and opposition to candl-
dates who refused to pledge themselves
to IT. was abating. In this state even,
an influential minority in convention
of the state Alliance held at Dali
las few weeks ago, was able
| hn
| platform of q sub treasury plank. That
was proof positive that there is not by
| auy means such ardor for it among Texas
farmers as expected year ago, when il
was the paramount issue with the Alli-
! auce. and all other demands were sub
sidiary to It. John G. Carlisle had not
! then thrown the calcium light of his pow
erful intellect on it, and all who regarded
themselves as benefciaries to be, of it,
looked upon it as fortunatus purse,
destined to pour money into their gaping
pockets. 1t Is not so now.
Hence we are not surprised to learn thai
| President Erwin of the state Farmers
Alliance of Kentucky has publicly statet
his disapproVal of it. He has weighed
carefully the arguments pro and con
and analysed the measure in all its parts
and after mature deliberation is salts fec
that 1t Is far from being the glorious cor
nucopia imagined by some thousands o
credulous and unretecting souls. When
the highest Official in a state Alliance
and the executive thereof puts hiInsel
on record so clearly and unequivocally
agaiL st it, we may be sure that he ha
the best of reasons for 30 doing-as W
4 know he has-and that backed by ire
futaUle arguments, he does not hesitat
to face the sub-treasury clamor, and ris
his position and standing in the order b.
attempting to bring his followers to
clear sense of what they are asking for
President Erwin's emphatic opposition
TO the measure will encourage others o
his official brethren TO take a simila
stand, and before long we shall hear bu
little more about it. The phantasm wi
have disappeared, and little or no mem
ory of it will remain behind.

Arizona Antiquities.

Perhaps no country on the face of the globe offers a wider and more diversified field for the study of the ancient, than does Arizona. It is 6 veritable paradise for the antiqua- rian and curiosity seeker. The ruins of mans art are scattered
 prcfusely over hill and dale. The San Xavier, the Tumacacori, the Tucson Mission, the Casa Grande and many others, are some of our ancient noble structures that have withstood the rayages of centuries, and still remain but little scared by the tooth of time" Cave dwe!li ,ss, iI1igating canals, long abandoned cemeteries, the remains of pottery, all bear evidence of the eirly settlem' mt of our territory by man who doubtless antedates Colum- bus much "cracked-up" feat.
 But not alone by the tenancy of man Is Arizona wrinkled with age. Her very rock bears unmistakable marks of its primordial origin. Its baId, bare, granite mountains, its steep cut canyons and its deep soil cd valleys, all suggest an infnity of time. Who can tell how long the rugged "Catalinas," the rought- ly sculptured Santa Ritas" and the wierd "Baboqulvari," upon whose summit man has never trod, have been keeping guard like tall, spirit-like sentinels over the beauti- ful valley of the Santa Cruzl They have been there always, and will perhaps remain forever. How can We recon by units, the time which the waters took to tear in twain the range of 'Malpais" hills which at some bygone period must have encircled the site of "San Xavier"
 In fact Arizona is replete with proofs, both geological and human, of its early birth. To votary of antiquities no more interesting field could be presented.-Citizen.

Sulking Indians,

We are in possession of what are probably the factt in regard to the refusal of San Carlos Agency In dians to draw rations. February 18th, Mir. Burrows, issue clerk. and Mr. Jerry, industrial teacher, visit ed Charlie Pans camp of Tontos, oL the Gila, two miles from the Agen- cy, for the purpose of issuing ra- tion tickets to the Indians. Tickets good for fl weeks rations are issued to the head of each family, upon which IS written the number (adu'ts and children) and sex of members composing it. The officers noted the fact that the number of Indians present in some families did not tally with the number given in as entitled to draw rations, being much fewer, and as has been customary when such discrepancies existed heretofore, Messrs. Burrows and Jerry demanded that the missing Indians be produced if they were to figure as recipients of govern ment pap. This did not suit the Tontos who became sullen, some of them got their guns, and requested the interpreter to tell Messrs. Bur rows and Jerry that they had bet ter return to the Agency, which they did, deeming discretion the better part of valor.-Globe Silver Belt.

first split twenty I ever ran across.
 The stamping machine at the mint
 sometimes comes down too hard on
 the coins and splits them; but it is seldom the larger coins split. It is mostly 'fves' that suffer. But they are very careful at the mint and stop every split coin they detect. Now, in the thousands of dollars handled here every year I rarely find a split coin. I don't think I've found more than four or five in year, and, as I say, the coins were mostly S5 pieces"
 The split $2O piece looked per feet, and, so far as the eye could detect bore no flaw of any kind. The only fault with it was in the ''ring," and the split made 1t sound "dead" when thrown on the coun- ter.-San Francisco Ex lminer.

Arizona's Anti-sheep Law,

There are bills pending before the Senate and House territorial com
 mittees to legalize various acts that passed the last legislative assembly of Arizona, and all the acts which passed the last legislature of that Territory, except that which remov- ed the capital from Prescott to Phe- nix, which was the only law passed within the limit of the time allowed by law, so says a recent Washing ton dispatch to the New Mexico Stock Grower.
 The same dispatch further says: Among these acts thus sought to be legalized, is the trespass act, which punishes by fine or imprisonment any person who close herds sheep on the lands of another, the effect of which would be to crush out the sheep industry and turn over to the cattle syndicates millions of acres of the public domain.
 The intervening sections of the Atlantic & Pacific Railroad land grant are owned by the cattlelnen and are not fenced, and if the sheep raisers are thus to be driven of, the cattlemen will practically control the alternate sections owned by the government
 Argument has heen made by Judge J. J. Noah before the Senate and House territorial committees against the legalization of this tres pass act, and it is likely that a re- port will be made annulling the act, at an early day.
