Special to The Statesman
KARNEs CITY, Sept. 0.-The sheriff
has arrested II. T. McCabe, eX-county
judge Of IIildalgo county, on Il capias
from that county charging him with
conspiracy to murder. McCabe broke
Jail in Hildalgo about June lst, and
has been at large since that time. He
is the husband of Mary Inez McCabe,
who, it is remembered, escaped from
a Mexican prison and was released on
her application by writ of habeas cor
pus in the federal court at Austin
last March. Sheriff Scale will carry
his prisoner back to Hidalgo in a few
days.
Mr.. Pete Wear, formerly Of Man
chaca but now of this place, has about

ton were stored in the house.
Coyotes and jack rabbits are I'M
usually scarce since their scalps are
priced. During this year our county
will probably pay out $1,000, but as
$500 of it will be returned by the state
our citizens will have received $500
more than they paid out, and the
peskey animals are destroyed and we
have no cause of complaint; but the
counties that have no coyotes and jack
rabbits and helped to contribute the
$500 that we get from the state may be
heard to object

THE COTTON PICKERS STRIKE.

LIE wi Wv IIChLIkc 81 NINE
The attitude of the colored alliance
in the strike which is promised fol
!; Saturday is not only very threatening
to the country but is full of danger to
the future interests of the strikers
themselves. There is no reason back
of their demands. Every one of these
negroes who has ever raised crop of
cotton know that no farmer could at
ford to pay for picking at the rate of
81 for one hundred pounds, unless he
were out Of debt, and were able to
market his cotton at 10 cents. If he
has been forced to mortgage, his crop
in advance, and buy his years sup
plies at credit prices, his cotton really
represents to him much less than it's
market value; and if the market value
be less than 10 cents, he is left in the
lurch, and will barely be able to make
his crop pay for the work he has put
on it. There is no one who
has less to show for his labor,
under any circumstances, than the
cotton farmer; and if the farmer
would protect himself he cannot pos
sibly accede to the demands of the
strikers.
1t is confidently believed that this
strike originated beyond the limits of
the cotton country. Political wire
pullers and schemers at the North and
West are probably accountable for it.
The negroes who are banded together
for the strike are perhaps not aware
how far superior is their condition to
that of white field labOrers in the
Western States. a white farm hand
in Illinois or Missouri considers that
he is doing extremely well if he re-
ceives $12 month for his work; and
be it understood that it is work he
does, such as no Southern negro has
ever done. During harvesting he is
able to make 500 month; and many
of these farm hands make the |
most of their opportunities
by beginning with the harvesting in
the southern part of the state and fol-
lowing it north, on into Michigan. An
average Southern negro can pick 200
pounds of cotton in a day, and at the
old rate of 60 cents a hundred makes
81 20 day, or 5000 month. Yet
this trouble in the cotton fields of the
South has come from a country where
field hands, at their very best, can
make but $50 a month.
The worst of this trouble is that it
comes during a hard year, when many
of the negroes are not in position to
endure the hardships and privations
Of heightened strike. Women and
little children are already on the
point Of suffering. They would soon
nave been made comfortable by the
money for their baskets and bags of
cotton, but instead they must stand
aside and see the crop rotting in the
fields, while they do nothing. This
action on the part of the negroes, if
persisted in, will have the effect of en-
forcing the lesson that the South has !
been learning for years-that negro
labor is no longer to be depended |
upon, and that a substitute for it must
be found without delay.

would suggest that the public leave
the rain-makers to their experiments,
without DINING overmuch scorn into
their ears, and wait and see. True,
the theory of rainmaking may be a
false one, or a misunderstood one; the
experiments may fail-but then,
again, they may not; in which latter
event, the laughter that is going up
all over the country would become
very painful.

General Hustled, chairman of the per
manent organization committee, re-
ported the name of James NJ. Narnun
for permanent chairman and then read
q list of presidents and secre-
taries. The report was adopted and
Varnum was Escorted to the chair
and addressed the convention al
great length. Mr.. Narnum
said that the victories that
we would have our country win,
were the victories of peace secured
through honorable treaties and
through mutual concessions between
The nations of America whereby the
welfare OF each country may be hon
orably and materially advanced.

The Farmers Alliance was origin
ally intended for the benefit of
farmers. The leaders of the order
with the Knights of
Labor, and it's name now is Farmers
Alliance and Industrial Union. The
Farmers Alliance wing are practically
all owners of their farms-capitalis
The Union Labor wing are all wage
workers who want from capital all
they can get. A mans interest is
mainly in his pocketbooll, hence it APP
pears that the Alliance as now or
ganized can never be harmonious with
this diversity of interests within their
ranks. A case in point is the agita-
ton by the negro Alliance to raise the
price of cotton picking. If Humphreys
carries out his plans the organizers of
the Alliance-the farmers will be
mulcted to the tune of many thous-
and dollars by the organization that
was to ameliorate them from all their
ills.

MAKES YOU THINK ANYHOW.

Whether the Iconoclast is aimed at
existing abuses for sensations sake OF
to benefit humanity, and whether
you believe in much or little you find
in the pages of that journal, you
must confess the editor looks through
a powerful pair Of glasses and that he
does not hesitate to put down in
words the deformities he says he dis
covers by aid of his magnifiers. We
honestly believe that monthly jour
nal is intended to do good rather
than evil, and though one may be
shocked at times with the familiar
and radical way in which subjects are
treated, yet the articles found in the
Iconoclast's pages are of character
to make you think, to make you go
down into your inner consciousness
and say whether or no things are
really as this smasher of idols thinks
them. The last number of. this
issued this week, is full of
articles very much of this nature.

thanks of a suffering world.
