How 1t Looks to a One-Eyed Man.
Mansfield Mail.

We do not need the protection of such 4
law as the alien land law 70 protect Us from
the absentee landlord. Europeans are not
going to swallow up the whole of Texas,
and we can spare great deal of territory
such as they are likely 10 get much better
than We can do without their money III
lubricating the wheels Of commerce. 1t
may, and doubtless will. be a bad thing 20
borrow too much, but is worse TO have ali
trade crippled for want of money which
could be borrowed without danger of EN-
barrassing anyone. Our impression is that
Texans as a class are not apt to borrow
enough to cripple them. If We must have
an alien land law, let it be based on common
sense, not on the hypothesis that the for
eigner is more grasping than our own capi-.
talists or those in the East. The lack of
competition will certainly not make Ameri-
can capitalists any less greedy, if they ever
overcome their disgust with the worse than
foolish alien land law sufficiently to place
loans i'll Texas again.

PARNELL.

Parnell possessed many of the mental
and moral characteristics that distin-
guished Gen. Grant, and if he had pur-
sued military career, would in all
probability have displayed on the bat
tlefield the same equipoise, GOODNESS
conduct in the forum. Always self
contained and self-possessed, he made
no serious mistakes as debater, and
never spoke but to say something. He
was born leader, and an admirable
organizer of men and policies, although
entirely devoid of the personal magnet
ism that most leaders rely upon to Sc
cure fidelity among their followers.
He succeeded without it. He possessed
but few of the graces of oratory, being
master only of a plain and wholly I'M
affected style Of speaking. But he
knew what to say, and when, and
always marshaled his arguments and
welded his logic with consummate skill
and precision.
He was wholly unlike any of the cele-
brated Irish agitators or parliamentary
leaders who had preceded him. They
all possessed to greater or less de-
gree the native eloquence of the race,
which was thought TO be sine qua non
in a leader. Grattan had it, so had
Flood. Emmett, Wolf Tone, O'Connell
and Isaac Butts. Without it they
would have done but little and made
only light impression on the people
of their own times. Eloquence is no
longer the potent weapon it has been.
Doubtless it would have detracted from
Parnell's efficiency by betraying him
into expressions that his cooler judg-
ment would condemn.
In addition to his own native abili-
ties, there were extraneous factors that
he was able to turn to good account,
such as the growing liberalism of the
age, more enlightened public opinion,
the power of the press, and the extern
sion of the voting franchise. These
agencies in the hands of the skillful tao
tician were made to contribute their
share to the success of just cause with
which the chief was thrice armed.
The worst thing that can be said of
Parnell, so far as his fame is concerned.
is that he lived too long by year.
Had he died twelve months sooner his
loss would be far more keenly felt by
his countrymen, and his fame as pa
triot and a man would be far brighter
the world over. It is useless to specu-
late on the issue of the struggle which
he was making to regain his lost SUI
premacy, had his life been prolonged.
1t is enough to know that his death
matters greatly, and that
there no longer exists cause for dis
cord or dissension among those of his
own race who once followed his leader
ship with steadfast loyalty. Under the
the cause which he did |
so much to advance has gained rather
than lost by his death. This is mere |
accident, however, that does not dis
parage greatly the fame of his leader
ship during the years when he was the
idol of his countrymen. and feared as
well as hated by the ministry.

THE Henderson Times may find
amusement in the suffering of people
and in the depression that has followed
the expulsion of money from the state:
but day is coming in Texas when
Rusk county craftsmanship, such as is
that represented by the Henderson
Times, will not be potent to retard de-
velopment and sit astride the neck OF
West Texas like an Old Man of the Sea.
Let the Times laugh and mock at dis
tress while it may; Western Texas is
attracting immigration, and when it is
given representation, demanded by
justice, Rusk county will not be in it
as it is to-day.

Bad Roads Make Poor Farmers.


When one compares the railroads Of the
country with the highways, he is at a loss
to explain why the generation which built
the one will tolerate the other Railways
are smooth, permanent. and the cost Of
transportation over them has been reduced
TO the minimum. Country roads and city
pavementS, on the other hand, are crude
and rough, and the expense of energy re-.
quired to transport loads over them is so
great as to seriously affect the profits of in
dustry among the American people.
Two reasons may be advanced to account
for bad highways. One is their great cost.
The building of a smooth and permanent
highway requires almost as great an out
lay as the grading and ballasting of rail
road. The money for road building is
raised by taxation, and is usually resisted
by those who have it to pay. As Z conse-
quence, there will be no good roads in the
country and no smooth and permanent
streets in the city until the American peo-
pie fully grasp the idea that weil-cou-
structed highways are saving to indus
try, and until they are willing to con-
tribute the money necessary to make such
highways.
The other reason is that the spoils sys-
tenn in politics initiates against good conn
try roads and good city streets Owing to
bad management, city streets and suburban
roads are not well constructed or well
cleaned Both facts tend to make the high
ways unhealthful and to create continual
expense in the community. In the country
those with 4 political pull secure the ex-
penditure of the road tax in localities which
benefit them, and the greater parts of the
roads go unimproved.
But bad roads make poor farmers, as
well IS poor manufacturers aud merchants
recent writer in the Engineering Maya.
zine presents i calculation which proves
this to rational mind. He maintains that
if country roads and these leading into
cities were iii first-class repair, only S,0OO,-
900 horses and mules would be required to
do the work of the country, where Ii. Geo. g,
600 are now required. The saving of CAPT
tai invested in animals and food TO keep
them would amount each year to S255, 03O,-
coo. This is an immense sum to be taken
annually from the profits of industry on the
farm, in the factory and store. Judiciously
expended it would go far towards building.
and maintaining a good system of roads in
all parts of the United States.

.. S. HALL, ex-president of the Mis-
souri, Alliance, is looked upon with
high favor as the Democratic candidate
for governor of Missouri. The gallant
fight made by him against the SUBJ
treasury party in the Alliance, though
unavailing, as is usually the case where
brain is put against the mob, has COM
mended Mr.. Hall to the Democrats of
Missouri, and it may happen that the
sub-treasury crowd, in displacing him
from the head of the Alliance in that
state, has clicked him upstairs"

Patronize Home industry.

The Fort Worth brewing company in
tends to build large maltery, aud this will
make market for 600, 600 bushels of barley,
and will give our Erath county farmers
chance to decrease their cotton patches.
Every man who drinks beer ought to use the
Fort Worth beer. The truth Of the matter
is Texas sends too much money to st.
Louis for beer no better than that made in
the state, and is crlppling the state at a
fearful rate: Is it any wonder that there is
scarcity of money! We send it out of the
state by the carload to enrich people in
other states. Is there any wonder that our
people cannot find sale for their surplus
horses and mulesl Too much money goes
to ST. Louis. Always patronize home en-
terprises. and there will be more money at
home to trade and traffic upon

THOUSANDS of people are absolutely
starving to death in Russia and in
Mexico. The complete failure Of crops
has left the poor with nothing to sub
sist upon except the donations of
charity. We have the Gossett alien
law in Texas, but it isn't quite as bad
as famine and pestilence. For what we
have escaped, Lord, make us truly
thankful.

THE Democratic demand is for a law
preventing corporate ownership of
large bodies of agricultural or grazing
lands. The cry raised against alien
ownership was the device OF men rep
resenting landed corporations. Now
that the courts are knocking the legal
ity out of the Gossett alien land law,
the people of Texas should seriously
consider how foolish is the outcry
against aliens.

ODESSA, Oct. 10.-The Jews OF this dis

ing the husbandry farm connected with the
Jewish orphanage, made an appeal to the
influential Jews, asking them to dissuade
their poorer brothers from leaving Russis..
and to induce them on the other hand to
occupy themselves with husbandry and not
to emigrate with uncertain prospects be-
fore them. Many congratulatory dispatches
have been received at the orphanage from
the ministers of the interior.
