SPECIAL ELECTION EXPENSES.

Commenting on tho reported action
Of Esmeralda county in commencing
suit against tho State for the collec-
ton Of the full amount of the ex-
penses incurred at the special election
of February II, 1889, the Enterprise
says:
The counties should not institute
suits against the State now, but they
should all present their unpaid bal
ances for payment. The question
has already been decided by tho Su-
preme Court in the case Of Lyon
county against the State that tho
State was liable for all bills incurred
at the special election that are legiti-
innate in their nature and not eXorbit-
ant, and the State will not now stand
any moro law suits. The several
Boards of County Commissioners
should therefore present their bills
against the State and have them act
ed upon in the same manner as other
bills are acted upon.
We have never entertained doubt
that the State is liable for the full
amount Of the expenses incurred at
said election, as certified to by tho
several Boards % County Commission
ers, for the law on the subject is too
plain to admit Of any other construc-
ton. The INDEPENDENT has therefore
held that the State would DO COM
PEELED to pay the said amounts, end
all that is necessary is for the Board
OF Commissioners to put in their
claim. If our Commissioners neglect
to put in their claim for the unpaid
balance it will not be paid, as matter
OF course, and the county treasury
will be out the amount of the differ
ence between the amount paid by
tho county and tho amount allowed
by the State Board of Examiners,
that difference being about S700.
The Board at their next meeting
should make arrangements to put in
the claim of Elko county for the
amount due.

a Long Session.

The story is given out as emanating
from Census Commissioner Porter
THAT the present session of Congress
would be continued until October.
The reason for this change is, said to
be that tho Republicans, having both
branches Of the present Congress,
want to keep the matter Of tho reap
portlonment os Congressman in their
own hands, and Porter says no can
rot possibly have tho censas returns
saady before that time.

A Minister'S Crime.

A dispatch dated Birmingham,
Alabama, February Ii, says:
Rev. John B. Reese, of Girard, in
this State, has fed tho country to es-
cape the wrath excited by the story
Of hisdaughter Ella, who ayers that
she was assaulted by her father some
years ago and has since been forced
80 submit to bis unnatural conduct.
lie had quoted Scripture to ease her
conscience, but her condition has
rendered further coucealment in-
possible. Reese is the father of two
married daughters and his wife is
still living.
From the numerous accounts Of
crime committed by those who pro-
Tess to be Preachers Of the Gospel it
does not appear that they are any
better, as class, than members of
any other profession. Because man
processes to DO a Minister it does
not necessarily follow that he is a
good man.

The Irish Leader at Homo.

Charles Stewart Parnell, when at

His breeohes are tied at the knee with
ribbon wildly green in hue. Stout,
brown worsted stockings, little tho

ending in pair of brogues that have
not recently been submitted to the

You can give this as pointer from me,
aud If does not come from inside sources,
either. Space will not permit to describe
more specially this vast, undeveloped
section of Texas, but here make the pre-
diction that five years hence this state will
import but little wheat. where it now
imports II 900, 600 bushels annually, and
in ten years it will have surplus for ex-
port. The great state of Texas is but in
its infancy and yet itnow produces nearly
% per cent. of all the cotton raised in the
country, and in ten years will produce
over two million bales annually, TO say
nothing OF its vast production of corn,
wheat, oats, rye and other productions.
The climate in this section (the Panhan-
dle)is said to be the healthiest IN the
United States; its altitude ranges from
l 200 to 5000 feet above the sea
level, and the dry atmosphere is
remarkably beneficial to those with lung
troubles 1t is only question Of time when
the whole section will be traversed by
numerous roads. The Rock Island is now
within fifty or sixty miles of the Red riV-
er; the Missouri, Kansas and Texas is
pushing westward from Gainesville; the
Atchison already meets the Fort Worth
and Denver at Washburn, in the heart
of the Panhandle; while the Houston
and Texas Central, once out of the hands
of the leeehes who seek to hold it, will
build northwesterly from Albany. This
road owns vast tracts Of land all through
the Panhandle, and offers them at low
prices and on exceedingly favorable
terms to actual settlers.
Now, have already written more than
your readers will care to read, so with
one word about Fort Worth and 1 will
close. My last visit to this city was a
hurried one, so that 1 had not time to
see it properly. spent few days
there recently, and was astonished to
find how rapidly it had grown since was
there four years ago, and its
growth is substantial. New manu-
featuring enterprises are in full
blast or being rapidly pushed to compile
ton. A stockyard, unexoelled by any in
Chicago, is nearly completed. A large
packing establishment Is under way, and
numerous other evidences exist to show
its substantial growth. Now, in conclu-
sion. will say to those having money TO
invest-come to Texas. To the farmer,
no state in the Union offers greater
promise; to the young man without money
and who has already good position he
had better stay where he is; to the ma
chanic-there is no end of employment.
