Fort Worth gazette. [volume] (Fort Worth, Tex.) 1891-1898, 1891-06-06

ABOUT six or seven years ago The
GAZETTE started out. armed only with
virtue and a Faber, on a crusade
against the big pastures and in favor
of the man with the hoe The man
with the hoe is now hoeing his own
row, and he is hoeiug it clean. The
big pastures are gone in some counties.
and they are going even in the most
remote parts Of the state. The sale Of
-. 900 acre pasture in Brown county
is one OF the results of The GAzETTE'S
preaching. 1t was a good thing for
the owner OF the land. for it brought a
good price. even in the season of low
prices and scant money. 1t was a
good thing for the purchasers, for they
have got some good farms on which
to spend their industry and energy
instead of renting. And it was good
thing for the state, for these farms
will now raise babies instead of calves.
THE GAZETTE is satisfied with its
work and virtue is lis own reward.

CHEAPNESS AND GLADNESS.

From the San Antonio Light. Re
publican journal, we take this strong
Endorsement Of a low tariff:
Applications for sugar bounty are coming
into the department very freely. Thirty
six plantations have already filed estimates
of LBS. 600 pounds, nearly one and half
million pounds for each plantation. If this
estimate holds it will beat the phenomenal
YIELD of last year. The planters are not
kicking over the bounty, and the consumer
takes MS twenty-one pounds for 81 and is
glad
The consumer takes his twenty-one
pounds for 81 and is glad. is he? Well,
ii he is glad, it must be because he gets
cheap sugar. Free trade in sugar has
gladdened his heart. As nearly. if not
quite, all our people are sugar con-
sumers. nearly all of us are glad on
this account.
Now why should We not have a
chance to be made glad with cheap
clothes, cheap machinery, cheap salt,
cheap glass, cheap tin, cheap every
thing, indeed, that is now so dear?
This cheapness that maketh the heart
glad is kept from Us only by tariff laws
that the Republican party has made.
The sugar bounty OF cents pound
does not take from the gladness Of the
consumer, for he doesn't think of it,
as it comes out of his pocket when he
buys suit Of clothes or some highly
protected article.

to Take the Guns and Ammunition.
Uncle sam in Doubt.


WASHINGTON, June 5.-In official circles
it is believed that the itata is not likely to
suffer heavily as a result of her escapade.
Credence is given 10 the statement tele-
graphed from Chill that the vessel took the
arms and ammunition from the Robert and
Minnie on the high seas outside of the
United States jurisdiction. If this should
be true her offense against the neutrality
laws is minimized and it is very doubtful
If a case could be made out against her in
the present state Of the uncertain construc-
ton OF the law. There is little doubt that
she can be held on other charges, such as
contempt of court in sailing away while
under injunction, kidnapping marshal and
sailing without clearance papers, but these
are minor olfenses, for which the punish
ment is likely TO take the shape of fines and
not go to the length of forfeiture of
the vessel. Attorney General Miller said
to-day that the department of justice could
likely take no action in the case of the Itata
until that vessel had been turned over to
law officer of the government at San
Diego, Cal, when the course usually taken
in such cases would be followed that is 10
say she would be libelled and held subject
to the finding of the proper tribunal.

MONEY AND CROPS.

Not all the gold in the country has
gone, or is likely to go 10 Europe.
What has gone this spring is but
trifie to the stock on hand May l. Ac-
cording to the director of the mint the
supply of gold in the country at that
date was 5000. 0O0,0 eco. OF this amount
S2Sl, 100000 OF coin and gold bullion
were in the treasury.
Besides the gold on hand, there was
in the treasury at the same date $751;
10000 in silver coin and bullion, max
ing total of the precious metals in the
treasury vaults OF S66S. 000. 900 as basis
for the business fabric of the country.
With such large stock on hand of
gold and silver, but little uneasiness is
felt on account Of the millions OF gold
sent TO help the Europeans out of q
tight place. Confidence is quite strong
in the return OF the gold this fall when
Europe buys our wheat, corn and cat
tie. She will: need an unusually large
amount of agricultural products because
OF her own poor crops: and the crop
prospects here were never better than
they are now throughout the entire
Mississippi valley and the West.
The acreage of wheat sown this year
is far ahead OF any previous year. This
is especially true OF Dekota and the
Northwest yyhara tho Snpipu Saadip0
has been unprecedented. In nearly
every part of the country the weather
has been seasonable, and crops are in
prime condition. France has lowered

she still keeps it on the hog. Her
wheat crop is poor, and she will want

If Sir William Gordon Cumming was

highest court in the kingdom ought to
be conclusive. a circumstance he could
rot but know. But it was necessary,
he says. for him to do something to
take some action in the premises in
order to wipe out the stain of the terri
bic imputation. If so why did he drag
his accusers into court when they could
prove their charges in the face of the
world? They have better way of
ending such disputes in France. There
the accused would have invited his ac-
cusers to meet him at daylight in the
Bots de Balogne. where with leadless
pistols they could blow away all shame
and dishonor in harmless smoke. Be-
ing soldier it is passing strange that
Sir William had not bethought him of
the French plan.

stating that the insurgent cruiser Magellan

partment on the next day. he failed 10 men,

department officers say they have no doubt
that if an engagement with such pro-
uounced results had taken place. the news
would have been promptly telegraphed to
the United States, instead of taking the
slower course by mail steamers.
