HOG AND HOMISY.

The Canton Telephone suggests that the
farmers of East Texas hold a corn and hog
convention some time this fall. The sug-
gestion is timely, and the subject impor-
tant, but we offer the following as a substi-
tute: There is already a state Swine
Breeders association. fully organized and
in working order, and its regular annual
meeting will be held at the fair grounds on
Saturday, October "A. Let all progressive
hogmen join this association, and then re-
turn home and call their neighbors together
and discuss the ''corn and hog" question,
and put their conclusions into actual prac-
tice. Hogs will pay, not only in East
Texas, but all over the state.--t Texas Farm
and Ranch.
The press Of Texas has been urging
the Importance of hog raising. and
now that Texas has home market at
Fort Worth for all the surplus hogs the
state can raise. there is less excuse than
ever for the keeping of the Texas smoke
houses in Kansas City and Chicago.
The state commissioner OF agriculture
reports that there has been a gradual
decrease since 1887 of the money sent
out OF the state fer bacon and lard, but
there is still room for improvement, as
the following figures will show: In
1887 the farmers of Texas purchased
from abroad bacon and lard TO the
amount OF $3.50, 9jl: in 1888 they spent
s., o., 206.4 and in 1889 they sent out
OF the state 81 .S3l $3.50. The commits
sioner states that no account was taken
of the purchases made by people living
in the towns and cities. Had such ac-
count been taken it is perhaps a low
estimate to say that in 1889 Texas sent
out Of the state $4,000, eco for hog pro-
ducts. The farmers may not now at
least be able TO escape the tariff tax,
but they can avoid the bacon and lard
tax by raising their own bacon and a
surplus for the people OF the towns and
cities. Three millions OF money in
active circulation would 60 far to re-
lieve the stringency and if the thirty
millions sent out in the last ten years
were now in Texas there would be
much less complaint Of hard times and
scarce money. II convention of hog
and hominy raisers will speed the day
OF emancipation from foreign meat
makers, it should be held without de-
lay, for only those people can be pros
porous who keep their money at home.

CHICAGO. ILL, Oct. 16-The stars and
stripes, it was decided to-day, are to wave
1920 feet above the ground, higher than
ever flag was waved before. 1t is to be
done during the Worlds fair
from the American tower that will
outstrip the Eiffel. The builder
is to be Andrew Carnegie of Pittsburg.
The width of the tower at the foundation
level is 40 feet in each direction. After
long continued negotiations the Keystone
bridge company of Pittsburg, one of An
drew Carnegie's concerns, has made offers
in writing that are satisfactory to the pro-
moters. A conference was held at the
Union league club to-day with MIR. A. l..
Griffith. president of the company, and Mr..
Edward f. Cragin, representing the pro-
moters and several capitalists. AS a result
the keystone company has agreed, in writ
ing, to construct the metal PORTION of the
tower and have it completed February /,
1888.
The company will have to pay a heavy
forfeit per day for any delay. President
Griffin expects that the tower will be built
by October |, 1892.
Options have been secured on the ground
Immediately adjoining the Worlds fair site
and arrangements made with the Worlds
fair officials, if desired, so that the tower
grounds will be included under their juris-
diction. The total cost will be about 81 $780,
900. The subscriptions have been received
from Chicago.

his arguments, that Mckinney can not
command on the stump.
If there is one thing that Campbell
has demonstrated more plainly to the
people OF Ohio than another, it is that
the foreigner does not pay the duty on
goods sold in this country, but that the
consumer does. 1t was supposed that
that old lie had, been sworn to a FRAGILE
long ago, but if it was, Mckinley has
revamped it, and is trying once more to
work it off on the assumed agricultural
dupes of his state. Mr.. Campbell asks
why 1t is that the government refunds
to the Standard oil company SO per
cent of the duty on the tin plate i'm
ported by it, amounting in one year to
million and quarter dollars, when the
plate is subsequently exported in tin
cans and the like, if the Welsh manu-
facturers OF it paid the duty on it. If
any part of the tax is to be refunded,
should it not go to those who it is
claimed paid it? What right has the
government to refund to the Standard
oil company a million and a quarter
dollars paid by somebody else? How
can that be called refunding? Is not
the correct name for it robbing? rob-
Ding Peter to paw Paul? What else in
the name of Heaven can you make OF
it? If the Standard oil company did
not pay that duty. the government has
made the company present OF it, to
be added to its other profits as a re-
ward for its patriotism in seeking a
foreign market. What right has the
government to do that, TO show such
favoritism to an already giant monop-
oily? Why should not-but what is the
use? The whole thing is a naked and
palpable fraud. There is not a word
of truth in the statement that the for
eigner pays the duty on tin-plate or on
anything else that is imported.
Mr. McKinley's reply to knock
down arguments OF this sort is this:
''Tf the foreigner does not pay the
duty, what are the English making
such a fuss about?" Now that is
brilliant argument, isn't it? and from
a man too that, as Chauncey Depew
says, is more talked about than any
other American in Europe, from a
man that aspires to the national lead
ership OF his party, and even to the
presidency. Poor old g. O. p. Where

CINCINNATI. ONO, Oct. 1.-THE court at

$3.50 900 worth of real estate in the heart of
the city. Mrs. Whitewcrth is a daughter
of James Robinson, school teacher. who
sixty-three yeats ago deserted his wife and
Sallie Snyder, pupil. They went first to
Canada After two or three years the girl
sought, unsuccessfully, reconciliation
with her parents. At the same time Rob-
inson surreptitiously visited his home. and
unknown to them secured a glimpse Of his
family.
The couple then went South, as was de-
termiued on the trial. They settled in what
is now Texas Robinson prospered, and
was elected lieutenant-governor, and later
became governor through the Impeachment
of Governor Smith. At the time of the war
over Texas Robinson was the most promi-
nent man in the state, and favored the indie
pendence Of Texas. He was captured by
the Mexicais and terribly abused until he
promised to use his influence to have the
state returned to Mexico. This made him
unpopular, and he went to California to
avoid lynching. There he became wealthy,
and died in 1868

his prosperity or not, the book and the
newspaper can be found in his house, and.
he knows what they contain. The boy frsee
