Will Fort Worth take advantage of deep
water2' now a settled fact at the mouth Of
the Brazos.
Fort Worth some day will be the great
fiour-making city for the Southwest as Min
neapolis is to-day for the Northwest.
Ii is not only the quantity of wheat that
Northwest Texas is producing and will pro-
duce that will make Texas noted and her
-four valued ana sought after
by countries that do not produce -four; it is
the quality of the -four that is made from
the grain that Is grown in the section ad-
joining Fort Worth.
The value of -four made from North Texas
wheat can be known when it is
understood that il is equal to the
very choicest produced in the
United States for general purposes. supe-
rior TO all for the South ana Central Amer
lean, trade and inferior To none.
It is claimed that the -four made of North
Texas wheat Is preferable in the North for
its dryness. and the fact that it contains
more gluten, does not ferment, makes more
dough, bears transportation across
the sea with less deterioration,
keeps sweeter aud purer in
delicious bread per barrel than the wheat
from any other part Of the United States or
the world from the fact the wheat
grown in other sections contains too much
moisture and will not stand 4 sea voyage
The wheat raised in Texas contains all
the necessary elements from which
with properly constructed Touring
mills, flour can be manufactured
equal to any made in the world. These ele-
ments are strength and color, it being we'll
known fact that some wheat produces
-four of white color, but poor in strength
California for instance: others good
strength but poor III cO.or-Indiana and Ohio
for instance, while the color of the Texas
-four is better than the California, and the
strength is better than the Indiana or Ohio.
Flour made from new Texas wheat ship
ped to Rio in South America has arrived
sweet and in good order.
l firmly believe that at no distant day the
entire -four trade Of South and Central
America will be supplied from Texas.
And why should not Fort Worth be the
city to make this -four? She is the gate
way to Northwest Texas. She has the
coal and the only coal in Texas at her door.
With -four mills would come paper mills
to consume the wheat straw.

THE people of Texas demand relief
from the Gossett alien land law-they
demand relief from the bankruptcy
ana ruin wrought by it and that viii be
wrought by it. The plea OF suffering is
growing into the demand OF despera-
ton. Those who close their ears to
the cry viii live to regret it. Every
day under the law without the hope OF
relief through amendment is day Of
anxiety and Of suffering. Other states
have recovered from the panic and,
with good crops and cheap money, are
forgetting the dark days OF 1S90-9i;
only Texas continues to suffer and to
find it difficult to get money for the
cOmmonest needs. Sub-treasuryites
may indorse the Gossett law, but time
viii demonstrate that the majority of
Texas people do not-and somebody
must answer with his political life for
the wrong done to Texas.

NO WHEAT HELD BACK.

Whoever may have been the au-
thors of the hold-back circulars sent to
the farmers some time ago urging them
to hold their wheat from the market,
the advice was evidently not taken, as
the treasury report made by the bureau
OF statistics for the month OF August
shows. According TO the report there
were exported for the month bread
stuffs to the amount of SIS, S53,5l as
against so, 72!, 80 for the correspond
ing month of last year, or gain OF
SIS, 900, 900 in round numbers. What
ever the farmers Of the wheat-growing
regions may have drought OF the
circular. and the plan OF action sug-
gested by it, either their necessities,
which are usually very urgent, or the
fair price ruling, caused them to pour
their wheat into market with the re-
suit mentioned. The expectation Of
provisions, cattle and hogs, petroleum
and cotton for the same month fell
IN e3cn instance CONSIDERABLY Delo"
me figures for August of last year. No
one advised that any OF these articles
be held back, but fer some reason they
nave not gone out, all of which goes TO
show that farmers look more to mar
kets than they do to-not maxims ex-
actly, but-unsought advice and the
foolish suggestions Of quackS and
aQdlepates.

NED HANNEGAN-T. j. HAMS.

So far Haines testified in his own de-
fense. But Commander Robley D. Evans,
Q. S. N, who was within 100 yards and
looking at them, testified that Hannegan
did not rise, that he did not even allow the
oar to slip from its place till he fell and
that Hams advanced step and fired
down at the face of the man who was
rowing'-namely, Hannegan. OF course
every criminal lawyer would say at once
that the direction taken by the balls ought
to show at glance the relative positions of
the two. So Dr. Peekes, the coroner, was
called.
He testified that one ball struck the in
side bend of the right elbow on a straight
line, and ''it could not have been inflicted
if Hannegan had had his arm raised to
strike blow unless the man who fired
stood right over him. The ball which en-
tered the chest also entered on a straight
line" Against all this the defense had the
testimony of half idiot negro, Lincoln
Smith, who swore that Hannegan struck
at Hams, but he could not tell which way
the boat was headed, or whether Hanue-
gan struck once or twice, or anything else.
He simply insisted on the attack by Han
negan and knew no more. All the rest OF
the testimonv either corroborated that of
the coroner ard Commander Evans, or was
irrelevant to the main issue. And on that
evidence twelve good men and true" ac-
quilted Hams.
1t came out in cross-examination that
Commander Evans had had difficulty
with Hams and had ceased to speak to
him Also that he paid no more atten-
ton to the boat after the shooting, because
he thought the boys were skylarking." On
this and other points, says the local report,
Colonel John S.Wise kept the courtroom
in a roar of laughter while he was speak
ing for the defense. Another lawyer for
the defense begged the jury not to shed
the blood Of a young Virginian whose
grandfather served his country with honor
whose uncle fell in the Confederate
cause"
After this it is not surprising to read
that Senator Worries for the defense was,
according to Colonel John S. Wise, mot
up to his usual strength" There was an
indignation meeting, and then one OF the
jurors went cunning for Mr.. Lipscomb, an
attorney. And finally it is announced that
the defendant had frequently played cards
with one of the jurymen in his cell and
that after the trial he treated all the jury
men to mint iuleps"

Fort Worth the Place.
Bonhan News

4 question is being discussed among the
Nasons OF Texas as to whether the grand
lodge shall remain at Houston or be moved
to Fort Worth. So far as a vote has been
taken by the subordinate lodges they have
expressed themselves in favor of Fort
Worth. 1t is right that Fort Worth should
be selected because it is a more central
point and is more accessible from all points
10y rail, and besides that Fort Worth pro
poses to do SO much il donations for the
grand lodge

SENSATIONAL MURDER TRIAL.

Some OF the Strange Features of a Vir-
ginia Tragedy.
The killing of Ned Hannegan by Thorn
ton ]. Hams, near Fortress Monroe, and
the recent trial and acquittal of Hams
taken together constitute the most pulling
and peculiar case that has interested Amer
leans for many years. The two were in
innate associates and had never exchanged
angry words so far as known; both belong
ed to distinguished families and flanagan
was noted for mildness rather than ten
denotes to anger.
But these are not the facts which make
the tragedy SO fascinating. There is a
mystery of contradiction in the evidence
which cannot be explained by the ordinary
rules, and there is evidently something
back" as people say-something in the
past which makes the case one like those
the Greeks believed to be the work of an
avenging Nemesis. Hams swore that he
quarreled with Hannegan about putting
their ssilboat inshore, as storm was ris-
ing, that Hanpegan rose and advanced on
him with the uplifted oar, and that he,
being in fear of his life, fired twice.

THE Omaha Bee states 4 truth
worthy Of all aeceptation by towns that
are besought for bonuses: ''Ex-
perience has shown that factories
secured by bonuses are often a delusion
and 4 snare. Manufacturers who are
seeking bonuses are usually those about
10 go into bankruptcy, or which have
less confidence i'll the legitimate profits
OF their business than in the cxtraneous
benefits accruiug by reason Of such
bonuses. Generally speaking the only
bonus which can probably be offered
as gilt outright is the reasonable ex-
pense Of removing u plant from one
city to another and the cost OF reopen
ing in the new location"
