TIE people of Texas demand relief
from the Gossett alien land law-they
demand relief from the bankruptcy
and ruin wrought by it and that will be
wrought by it. The plea of suffering is
growing into the demand of despera-
ton. Those who close their ears to
the cry will live to regret it. Every
day under the law without the hope OF
relief through amendment is day OF
anxiety and OF suffering. Other states
have recovered from the panic, and,
with good crops and cheap money, are
forgetting the dark days of lS9O-9l;
only Texas continues to suffer and to
find it difficult to get money for the
commonest needs. Sub-treasuryites
may indorse the Gossett Law, but time
will demonstrate that the majority of
Texas people DO not-and somebody
must answer with his political life for
The wrong done to Texas.

Two Democratic state conventions
we're held in different states on Tues
day, md put themselves on record as
70 the silver question. The Massachus-
etts Democrats voice their opposition
to the. free and unlimited coinage Of
silver; except after an international
agreement as 10 its ratio to gold. then
10 make the silver dollar worth 100
cents in gold. The Colorado Demo-
Gratis found it hard to put in language
their indispensable desire for free and
unlimited coinage nj once. As Gen.
Hancock said OF the tariff, the silver
question is a local issue Colorado

terests Of It's people ara allied with sill

silver market and stimulate that in

state, whose people own bonds and
mortgages. The more silver there is
in the silver dollar, the more they will
get when the debtors pay their debts.

THE financial remedy demanded is a
system that will take from Wall Street
the power to control the circulating
medium. This demand lies at the bot
tom OF the sub-treasury idea. Itaffects
the views of Mr., Harter, and it inspires
Senator Norwood's plan. The demand
is'for local money supply, for, no mat
ter how many dollars per capita there
may be, under the present system Wall
Street will gather them all in at last
which could not be if We had state
banks.

THE Salvation Army is as free in
Texas as salvation itself is supposed to
be. An Austin police court holds that
the Salvationists can parade the streets
with drum and fife if they want to,
without fracturing the laws. That is
good sense. If an advertising fake with
brass band at the head may parade
all over Town, WIZ may not religious
ini.e do the same thing?

In this sense the appointment has litte sig
nifcance Of course geographically. TOR Mr.. ElknS
is representative Republican Of National repnta-
ton, and is tied in interest and feeling as much
perhaps to any other Of the group of Middle and
Eastern States as 10 West Virginia. His entry
into the Cabinet will be especially well received
in New-York and by Newiork Republicans with
whom he has long been closely associated, both
in National conventions aud in the management
Of Presidential and other campaigns against the
enemy. That the new Secretary will make a
capable, popular and successful Cabinet officer
will be conceded by every one who knows his
ability and administrative skill There is no
doub. also that he will prove sagacious and
valued political adviser of the President and an
important factor in the continued success Of the
present Administration.
The opinions upon the nomination expressed by
public men this afternoon have all heen extremely
favorable. Ex-Secretary Proctor. on being asked
about the new appointment, said:
1t is undoubtedly good one. Mr.. Ellns is a
man OF great executive ability. and will be an able
and popular Secretary. His manner is such that
every one who calls on him will leave feeling that
the visit has been a personal favor to Mr. Elkins
The new Secretary has wide acquaintance among
Army officers in the West, and will consequently
bring 10 the Department large share of practical
and valuable information"
lie will make an admirable Secretary said
Senator Ilscock concisely. when asked about the
nomination. So it universally among Repub-
lcans al the Capitol.
Senator Faulkner, Of West Virginia. was pleased
TO see many important places go to the State he
represents The nomination Of Mr.. Elkins," he
said to-day, must be extremely gratifying 10 the
Republicans of West Virginia. Mr.. Elkins has
taken very active part in political campaigns in
the State, and he has surrounded himself with
large body of active and influential friends. The
appointment OF Nathan Goff as Judge and the nom
ination of Mr.. Elkins as Secretary of War, coming
just prior TO the opening of the Presidential year
indicate the importance of the position West Vr-
ginia has in the opinion of the Republican leaders.
They realize the necessity which presses and are
doing everything that looks though il would
bring them victory in 1892; and at the same time
they are giving West Virginia hiore prominence
than even the great material resources of the
State have recently done"
