lions of Europe: she does not produce
| nearly enough wheat to bread her, and
must buy as England does, from whom
soever will sell cheapest
According to the last report of the
commissioner of agriculture, the state
did not in 1889 produce quite half the
amount OF wheat necessary for con-
sumption within the state. The figures
show that 5, III ,534 bushels were raised,
while the amount needed was 10, 432, =
442 bushels.
1t seems strange that state with
such a broad expanse OF territory
should not raise at least enough wheat
to feed her people. If Southern Texas
is too warm, it is not SO in the northern
part OF the state.
A knowledge of this fact ought to
stimulate the farmers OF the Panhandle
to make the most of their opportuni-
ties. They should make that section
what it was intended by nature to be,
that is, the granary of the state. Proyi-
dence has supplied the soil, and moth
ing is wanting but the presence and
energy of the tiller who knows how to
make the best use of the conditions
surrounding him. A trife less than
SO, 500, 900 went to the North last year
for flour. The Panhandle can get all
that, and move along with it, if it will
stir itself and raise more wheat.

GREER COUNTY.

QUASAH, TEX, April %, 1891
The Gazette
BY what name is the treaty known be-
tween Spain and the United States, under
which treaty the United States claim Greer
county, Texas Was there bill passed
both houses and became law known Us the
supreme court relief bill!'' If so, will
this bill enable the supreme court to con-
slider the Greer county question SoOner2
Please give a synopsis of the treaty, date,
etc. BY so doing you will greatly oblige an
old subscriber aud many settlers OF Greer
county, of whom l am one. Very truly,
Fl. L. RIvEs.
In 1919 Mr.. Adams, acting for the
United States, and Count De Onis for
Spain, agreed upon treaty in which
the boundaries OF the land ceded by
Spain were defined according to Me-
lish's map, improved up to 1918"
In 1888, Texas, then an Independent
republic, made a treaty with the United
States, by the terms OF which each
party to the agreement was to enjoy its
territory as heretofore claimed or pos
sessed and over which it had exercised
jurisdiction, until a boundary was
sgreed upon.
IN after years a dispute arose as to
the boundaries, the point to establish
being which was the true Red river,
the United States claiming that all
land lying between the north and south
fork and Tooth meridian, being part
of the Indian Territory as shown by
surveys, Texas claiming the right OF
jurisdiction holding the north fork as
the true Red river In January, 1883,
President Cleveland in his message de-
MED the right of Texas to Greer
county. All efforts to settle the vexed
question have failed and the case is
now in the United States supreme
court awaiting decision. The only eff
fort at state legislation for Greer county
made during the past session was the
introduction of bill to allow such per-
sons as had located lands in the terri
tory in dispute TO place their certif-
rates on public lands in Texas. The
bill failed to carry, and of course moth
ing involving the question of owner
ship can be accomplished until a de-
rision has been rendered by the United
States court.

IS MARRIAGE A FAILURE7
Lovers Linked by LAVA Few Months of
Smooth Sailing-A Revelation-Peti-
tion for Divorce.
Special to the Gazette.

PARIS, TEX, May 2.-On the 18th of last
October Clarence Hooker, young lawyer
of this city, was married in Mississippi to
Miss Sallie Hulett. They came to this city
and set up housekeeping and lived in good
style 1t was given out that the woman
was immensely rich, and it was ap-
parent to all that she was well edu-
Gated. During the Christmas holidays the
young couple gave ball and many young
people attended. During the night she be-
came intoxicated and asked one of the
young men if he knew her, and on being
told that he did not, told him that she was
Belle Lester, former inmate of Madame
Halls bagnio. The revelation caused So
cial earthquake. The couple left
the country for Wichita Falls. They
went to Fort Worth, Hot Springs
and other places. About a month ago she
came back TO this city and again entered
Madam Halls.
The husband now petitions for divorce
alleging abandonment and adultery.
1t is said that the woman comes from
good family, and is worth million dollars
in her own right. She has had remarka-
bic career, and her name has been coupled
with many scandals.

DEFINING HIS POSITION.

So little has Mr.. Chiffon been known
in connection with affairs of national
legislation that his views regarding
questions of national importance have
been wholly unknown. Beyond the
mere fact that he was an orthodox
Democrat, subscribing to the pro-
nouncements OF that party upon public
questions, nobody could say what were
the personal views of the new-made
United States senator from Texas; and
as there are two or more schools among
the Democrats, differing in questions
OF financial and tariff legislation, it
became Of interest to know where the
new senator stood.
He has not long left room for doubt
In a speech delivered in acknowledge
ment Of compliments from his towns
men, he carefully and at length defined
his position on all matters likely to
come up for legislative action in the
national congress.
lie Will stand with the tariff reform
Democrats in their effort to give the
country tariff for revenue only"
He will endeavor to have laws framed
to restrain the dangerously growing
power of the Federal judiciary and
keep it within the bounds prescribed
by the constitution.
He will contend for restoring the sill
yer dollar to the position it held be-
fore the demonetization act of 1873.
That means free and unlimited coin
age.
He will oppose subsidies for the ex-
tension of commerce, believing that re-
lief should come in more liberal navi-
cation laws.
And he will hit the sub-treasury
scheme whenever it gets close enough
to give him fair chance at it.
These declarations make very good
Democratic platform, and are salts
factory guarantee that Senator Chill
ton is a Democrat OF the legitimate
Texas brood.

RAISE WHEAT.

The news recently received that the

Raise Hogs and Wheat.
Greenviile Banner.

The pork packery at Fort Worth is ship
ping hogs from Kansas City TO keep the es-
adjustment running. The Alliance mill at
Greenville is also importing Northern
wheat
The moral is that Texas farmers should
raise more wheat and more hogs. Capital
is doing all it can TO make Texas self-sus-
tanning, but these great enterprises cannot
succeed fully unless Texas produces the
raw materials to meet the demand. While
we are striving to induce the location of
more factories in Texas, we should en-
deavor to produce the raw materials to
supply those we already have.

IN ALL our history prior to 1880 only
$4,000 Italians came to the United
States. Since 1880 the arrivals have
mounted up to 10000. In the face OF
the returns, and the recent Malta de-
velopments one is inclined 10 the be-
lief that Italy has no cause for COM
plant. The general opinion seems to
prevail that there are just 100000 too
many Italians in this country. The
bulk of the Italian immigration to this
country are Sicilians, or what's known
as Dagoes, and are about as valuable for
purposes Of citizenship as the Canton
Chinese or the Apache Indian.

ALLIANCE RATES.
They Were Not Refused by the Western
Passenger Association.

Passenger AssOciatiOn.
The assertion has been made that the
Western passenger association had refused
special round trip rates to the Alliance or
ganization for the convention at Cincinnati.
No application for rates has been made. A
rate was asked in the name of the national
conference of industrial organizations and
the national conference of reform associa-
tons and others of a ike nature. No actiod
was taken on the request at the last meet
ing because the Central passenger associa-
ton had not acted, and neither the Western
nor the Trans-AHssouri could act until it
had done so, for the reason that Cincinnati
is in Central territory and that association
must name the basing rate. AS far as the
Alliance people are concerned, no applica-
tion has yet been made in its name, and con-
sequently none has been refused.
