TWO MEETINGS.

A state convention Of the Peoples
party has been called by Mr.. W. r.
Lamb, who designates August II as the
date of meeting and Dallas as the
place.
This will bring the Peoples party
together few weeks after the Fort
Worth meeting of the Alliance element
that oppose the sub-treasury. AT the
Fort Worth meeting it will be made
known whether the sub-treasury or the
anti-sub-treasury fellows are running
the Alliance in this state. 1t will be
profitable to watch the effect Of the
Fort Worth meeting upon the Peoples
party movements and their utterances
at Dallas.
If the sub-treasury wing shall pre-
vail at Fort Worth, the Peoples party.
which in this state is the sub-treasury
part of the Alliance, will be in such
high glee that we may listen for some
resounding enunciations of wisdom
IIOil Illt lIalldS IuSCLlHS' hC hdb
will be put forth in an aggressive spirit
that ''those who are not with US are
against us" and ell Alliance members
who do not fall in with the Peoples
party movement will be made to feel
that they are in a crowd where their
presence is unwelcome.
But if the opposition to the sub
treasury shall be able to muster a ma
iority at Fort Worth, and give strong
expression to their feelings against
that foolishness, their action will have
a strong influence in checking a too
exuberant out-pouring of folly at the
Dallas meeting. For, as it now stands,
the .sub-treasury is the life of the AL
lance in Texas. and the Alliance is the
life OF the third party. Let the AL
lance but give official utterance against
the sub-treasury, and the third party,
having nothing to rest upon in this
state, will fall to the ground.

CASE WITH A MORAL,

The advocates OF the plan that con-
templates the loaning by the govern
ment of money directly to the people
upon land, should recall the nature and
cause OF the political upbeavalin Kansas
last fall. There is grand moral in it,
if rightly understood. 1t is SO obvious
and so plain, the wonder is that some
body had not long ago pointed it out
But, no matter about that; its force
and application are not at all lessened
or otherwise affected by delay.
The situation in Kansas was briefly
that from two-thirds to four-ifths of
the land in the state was pledged to
Eastern loan companies for money, the
rate of interest ranging from 8 to per
cent with commission added. For
whatever reasons, tho tariff, monetary

IN CHEWING THE RAG
The Council Passes Three
Hours in this Diversion.
THE. ELECTRIC LIGHT PLANT,
The Committee Recommends Its Accept
ance by the City, Which is Done-The
Claims Allowed-TrinIty Bridge.
The fuckers Hill Well

Three hours Were again occupied by the
council in doing one hours work, the
principal diversion being chewing
the rag to use the expressive
slang of the streets. It was hot
in that council room and
the aldermen evidently were impressed
with the idea that it was easier to talk than
to transact business, and as result an adj
journment was taken at II O'Clock until this
evening in order to finish up the budget,
less than one-third of which was dis
posed of last night. The waterworks COM
mittee reported the arrangements agreed
upon for the acceptance of the electric light
plant, and recommended its adoption.
The question of bridge across the
Trinity came up and after lengthy discus
sion was referred to the committee. The
waterworks committee was given authority
to sink the well on fuckers hill an sddi-
tional 1000 feet if necessary.

THE Western senators are hard to
keep in harness, and have way OF
hurting out their thoughts with little
regard to the sensibilities OF the emil
nent rulers of the land. Pettigrew, Re-
publican senator from South Dakota,
declares that Secretary Noble is utterly
incompetent, and that he would starve
to death trying to earn his living prac-
ticing law. Stewart. Republican sena-
tor from Nevada, sneerlngly says of
Harrison that lit doesn't matter id
bit what he thinks" Walcott. Repub-
lican senator from Colorado, is scarcely
less offensive in his talk about the ad-
ministration. These men all voted
with the Democrats against the force
bill, and several other Western sena-
tors with them. Collars hang very
loosely in the breezy and boundless
West,

In the city of London, on April so, 1891,
there was largely attended meeting of
Englishmen who had invested $4,000 900
in Texas. the bulk of it being in Fort Worth
and country tributary to it. II happened
that Glen Walker, of Fort Worth, was
present at the meeting, being on visit to
England at the time. Mr.. Walker is we'll
known to be conservative and his vieWh
are therefore of value. He was called upon
for an address and this is the way ne was
quoted in the London Financial Times the
next morning:
MIR Walker, in response to the chairman's
request, said it seemed to him that the Sc
curity of their investments depended prin-
cipally upon the question Of whether land
was inflated in value or at fair value at
the present time. He thought that the best
way to analyze that was by way of analogy.
Good agricultural land could be bought in
Texas to-day for s. an acre, that being the
outside price, but similar land in Kansas
the ad joining State-could not be bought for
less than SIS to $50, and in Missouri and
Illinois, further North, the same kind of
land was selling at $50, and upwards. 1t SO,
happened that he had some knowledge of
Australian land, and here again he could
talk by analogy. The same kind of land in
Texas that their company was lending 81,
or SIS, an acre upon, large London compa-
MES. such as the Scottish Widows and Or
phans, were lending 81 an acre upon in
Australia. They might not all know that
the exports from Texas, little despised
part of the world, was about the same as
from all Australia put together. Very few
people realized that, but it was a fact
Applause. In Texas tt ere was no low
rate of interest. Except during a few
months when it began to look as if the COM
petition of the land companies was going to
reduce the rate of interest, he had never
known in all his experience in Texas the
rate of interest to be less than 10 per cent
At the present time in the banks in Texas
IL per cent was the usual rate. Applause

FIT ONLY TO BE PLUCKED.

The speech of the plaintiffs counsel
in the baccarat gambling case now on
trial in London is a striking piece of
insolence and toad-eating. His attack
upon the Prince of Wales was, meas
ured by English tradition and feeling,
little short of treason. 1t was the bold
est defiance OF the royal divinity that
has ever been made deliberately and
publicly by any Englishman of conse-
quence. A hundred years ago the rash
barrister would have been committed
to prison for his utterances. Two or
three hundred years ago he would have
been rushed to the block. Now he is
only frowned upon by the representa-
tives OF royalty, while the greater part
of the multitude applaud his words.
But if this part of Sir Edward
Clarke's speech was challenge to
the arrogance OF blood" his treat
mert of the Wilson's, who were defend
ants and witnesses in the case, was a
brutal compensation therefor, in its
trucking to alleged mobile" gentlemen
who were his clients and witnesses.
The Wilson's, a widowed mother and
her son, apparently belong to the
wealthy commoners, who have had the
misfortune to earn wealth instead of
inheriting it from some remote ances-
tor who stole it. They were shown to
be very respectable people, but they
were overpowered with consuming
desire to get into British ''society." AS
they had money they could give at
tractive entertainments, and these en-
tertainments were frequented by the
Prince of Wales, Sir William Gordon
Cumming, Lord Coventry and other
blue blooded gamblers who had very
little money but plenty of 'tone." 1t
is of this that the plaintiffs counsel
spoke when he said, ''Yes, they UNI
doubtedly have money, but even if Sir
William Gordon-Cumming would con-
descend to take it from such a source,
I shall not ask the jury to fix the dam
ages beyond nominal sum-"
1t is, then, in the opinion OF the coun-
sci, condescension for his noble client
even to cheat such common people as
the Wilson's out of their money. For
it is no longer to be doubted that the
Honorable Sir William is proven to be
a card sharper. 1t does not need the
evidence of the lowly Wilson's to prove
this to be SO, for his royal highuess,
the Prince of Wales, mas testified to
enough to convict him.
We speak of these things to show
that while among Englishmen that
high veneration for royalty which used
to set it above common mortals is de-
clining, the opposite feeling OF con-
tempt for such as have not ''blood" is
as rancorous as ever. If a man wins
riches, he is considered fit to be toler-
ated by the aristocracy for the purpose
of plucking him, but their use for him
is at an end when he ceases to let him
self be used as a victim.

contraction, unfavorable seasons Oh
what not, the farmers found them
selves unable in many instances tc
meet the interest even on their loans.
Many of them were carried for time
by the companies, but they still re-
manned to large extent unable to
meet their obligations, and ruin
speedily overlook them, following as il
did in the footsteps of the sheriff.
Discomfort sprang up all over the
state. The cause of their hardship
and i'll fortune was attributed to the
neglect or unfaithfulness of their
rulers, state and Federal. With a
vengeance born of poverty and despair,
they rushed into politics, overthrow
the machine, wiped out the old regime
and elected lot of new men to execute
their will in the state and Federal leg
islatures.
In the state legislature last winter
these new men introduced measures OF
the most sweeping and revolutionary
character. Some of them were eX post
facto in character, and others not
only impaired the obligations OF con-
tracts, but went SO far as, in some in
stances, to wipe them out entirely.
The motives underlying this species
of radical legislation were, OF course,
present relief tc the farmers. The le-
gal right to foreclose mortgages was to
be abolished, or held up for a time.
The right to redeem was to be extended
Indefinitely, and if memory serves, a
bill was introduced in the lower house
canceling many loans. At any rate,
the policy of the legislation alluded to
was plainly in the direction of repudia-
ton, and much of it would have been
enacted, had not the senate stood in
the way.
Now suppose that all the money
loaned on land in Kansas had come
from the government, instead of from
private sources. Would not the temp
tation to repudiate, when debts and
poverty overlook the borrower, ee too
powerful to resist? Would not that be
made a political issue, and the rallying
cry of thousands of farmers who would
see in it release from debts and en-
barrassment without visible injury to
any individual? There can be, it
seems, but one answer to this query.
The truth is, that the borrowing OF
money has been the ruin of thousands
and millions. Borrowing on land by
by hopeful and credulous Kansas farm
ers, merely because they had the right
and could find the money, has been
their ruin. 1t has likewise ruined a
multitude of loan companies, on whose
hands were thrown millions OF acres of
unmarketable and Improbable land.
If the government, instead of private
concers, had been the loaner the dis
aster would be general instead Of con-
fined to one state.
