RESULTS OF BEAsTLY MAJORITY


Often the complaint is made that
Texas is cursed with a too unwieldly
Democratic majority for the welfare OF
the state. Where Democratic nOmi-
nation, they say. guarantees election TO
Office, the party is not SO careful in the
selection of its candidates as would be
the case if the contest were doubtful,
where the best men have to be put up
in order to win.
This sounds well enough, but we can
not see where Texas has suffered on
account OF its ''beastly" Democratic pro-
pensity. No rottenness pervades the
atmosphere of the administration which
was elected by $4,000 majority. The
offices of state are filed with men
OF approved ability, competence and
honesty. No scandal has disgraced
any Democratic administration in Texas
since the war. Not cent has been
lost to the state by defalcations, and
the only charge OF that nature is now
laid against minor official, who owed
his place to appointment and not to
election by that one-sided vote.
Indeed, it seems that the close states
are those that suffer most by malad-
ministration. No New York legisla-
ture is without its scandals, Investigate
ing committees, and foul disclosures.
Missouri, Arkansas, Kentucky, Louisi-
ana. Pennsylvania, and several other
states whose majorities for this or that
party are not more than tenth of the
"beastly" Texas affair, have state
treasurers in the penitentiary, abroad
without leave, or under indictment for
making away with state funds running
up into the millions. The Colorado
legislature, just adjourned, was bought
like sheep, and bribery was 50 common
and everybody was so tainted with it
that hardly an attempt was made at
concealment 4 California Legislative
investigating committee reports that
large sum of money was used in the
late senatorial election in the securing
OF votes. Connecticut has 2n acting
governor whose term was out three
months ago, who is holding the place
without law or right.
Looking all around at our neighbors,
some of which are always close states,
We do not find that we are anywhere
like as bad Of as most of them, and
certainly we are no worse than the best
Of them. We will try, therefore, to
content ourselves with our condition,
ard keep on giving the most magniii-
cent Democratic majority in the world.

somE QUESTIONS 10 CONSIDER.

The predominant feeling al the
Waco meeting Of the Alliance was
against third party. One Of the
leading members of the order put it
this way: u think there will be no
third party in Texas, as the demands
of the Alliance will be engrafted On
the platform OF the Democratic party,
and OF course the men that are nomi-
mated will have 10 stand on the party
platform
If the effort shall be made, as likely
it will, TO make the demands OF the
Alliance part of the Democratic
platform, it becomes Of interest TO know
what those demands are.
AS formulated in the meeting OF the
National Alliance delegates at Ocala,
Fla, last December, the farmers ask:
The abolition of national banks.
That the government shall establish
sub-treasuries or repositories which
shall loan money to the people at
rate of interest not to exceed , per
cent per year, upon non-perishable pro-
duets or real estate.
That The circulating medium shall be
increased to $50 per capita.
That dealing in futures" shall be
prohibited by law.
Free and unlimited coinage of
silver.
To prohibit alien ownership OF
land.
An income tax.
Reduction of the tariff and the limi-
tation of national and state revenues
TO the needs of government honestly
administered.
Are the Democrats of Texas ready to
accede to these demands if the Alliance
gets the upper hand and forces such a
platform upon them?
And if the Alliance cannot get the
upper hand and dictate the platform
will its following, after taking part in
Democratic conventions and in the
state convention. accept the platform
that the Democrats construct, and
vote for the nominees of that party?

TIE INTERPRETATIONS.

If there was q lobby on hand working
the iate legislature for increased appro-
priations and the creation of more pat
ronage, as AL Observation-Disclosures organ
charges, il must certainly have been
the biggest iackass OF q lobby that ever
tried to pull the wool over the eyes of a
legislator. \ number OF additions We're
made to the clerical force Of several de-
partments of the state government,
which increased help was badly needed.
as shown conclusively by the heads OF
departments who appeared before the
finance committee for that purpose.
The same is true of the increased help
allowed the various state Institutions.
They had to have the help, and proved
it to the satisfaction of the finance COM
mittee. They also proved the absolute
necessity for improvements, additions
and increased facilities, all of which
called for money. The committee al
lowed for these purposes what it deemed
absolutely necessary, and the two
houses Endorsed the allowances. But
according to the organ aforesaid these
appropriations for increased help, addi-
tions, etc, were instigated by lobby
that had no other end in view than in
creasing the patronage of the COVER
nor" But that was not all the patron
age lobby did. 1t moved the legislature
to reduce the taxes from 20 to 1853 cents
this year and Is cents next, or, if it did
not, sat stupidity on its launches while
the thing was being done, and the in
come from taxation was being so re-
duced as to compel the governor to
skimp and cut down expenses in many
ways next year in order to pull through
without a deficit. Who ever before
heard of a lobby like that? With one
hand it built up an imposing edifce of
patronage, and with the other tore
away the foundation on which it should
stand. A brilliant lobby that, wasn't
it?
Now, as a matter of fact, the only |
offices worth mentioning created by the

EX-PRESIDENT CLEVELAND said,
when asked if he would veto free
coinage bill if passed, that that depended
upon the condition OF the country
when such legislation was enacted. II
he thought the condition OF business
was such as to demand free coinage, he
would favor it. But Mr.. Cleveland
failed to answer the direct question.
He does not say whether he would or
would not veto free coinage bill, if
passed by congress. The idea one gets
from reading Mr.. Cleveland's answer
is that the views OF the Democratic
party OF the country or the Democratic
majority in congress would not affect
his regard for free coinage if he did
not think the country was ripe for it;
or, in other words, he would veto free
coinage bill if he wanted to.

THE HOME MARKET CHESTNUT.

In his letter to the Commercial con-
gress at Kansas City President Harri-
son glorified that old chestnut the
home market" which he declared was
in his opinion the best market" ''If
the farmer" said he, could deliver his
surplus produce TO the consumer out OF
his farm wagon, his independence and
his profits would be larger and surer."
Perhaps so, but what would become of
the railroads and the multiplied indus
tries connected with transportation of
the surplus farm products from one
section to another? The idea OF the
farmer peddling his produce at the tail
end of his wagon may be the most per-
feet realization OF the home market
idea, but it is also Utopian in the ex-
IRENE, and woefully lacking in dignity.
1t sayorS too much of the truck patch.
and while it is wholly visionary and
out OF the question, it is yet belittling
and derogatory to a very noble art. But
it is always to such lame and impotent
conclusions as this that mere theorizing
Of the political sort must come when
one ignores stubborn facts and disre-
CARDS the eternal verities.
In his Galveston speech the presi-
dent forgot the home market entirely.
The noble picture of the farmer and .
his wagon moving from house to hQk

bage there and peck OF potatoes yon,

stead came another OF a far differ a
sort, picture of merchant fleets su6si-

hundred million dollars worth of agri-
cultural products that the blessed home
market was powerless to handle.

publics south of Us in pursuance OF the

HOW GREATNESS AaoUxps.

That this Is country of great things
goes without saying. There are great
people, great enterprises, great ideas
and ambitions, and great possibilities
Even the debts which the people owe
are great, positively splendid in their
greatness. There is something refresh
ing in recounting few OF the principal
items thereof. According to q recent
number of the Bankers Magazine,
Kansas owes 1895, 100000: Indiana,
500, 600, 0OC; Iowa, S5G7, 200, 900; Michi-
gan, $500, 600: Ohio, 81 ,43i, 600, 600; or
total in the five states Of S.. i3l 900, 900.
This is sum representing in the main
mortgage indcbtneSs on farms that eX-
ceeds the entire national debt by
81, SIG, 100000 And this it seems is
what ais the farmers. This is why
there are such things as Alliances,
oranges, F. NJ. B. AS and the like.
This is why such men as Ingalls,, Far
well, Cannon and Mckinley were last
fail retired from active service as law
makers. They had earned great dis
tinction as the architects that planned
and designed the building up of such
gigantic debts, and the debtors felt
that they deserved rest, and gave it
to them.
But there are besides these, great
landed estates that put TO shame tie an
cestral domains OF Great Britain. Let

who cherishes dreams OF broad acres and
lowing herds take heart as he remem-
bers the following. The Shenley estate

THE PRESIDENTS VISIT.

Inc regal reception rendered the
nations chief executive by the mag
nificent commonwealth OF Texas has
been noted by the press of the entire
land and the fact that he was buried be-
meath loads of fragrant flowers instead
OF opprohrium and epithets, seems to
have astonfshed the world. We cannot
see why this should be so. The people
OF Texas are like their state, broad and
liberal. No question OF politics was for
moment thought of. The nations
chief had come TO her borders as an
hOnored guest and the true spirit of
Southern chivalry demanded that he
should be treated as one whom the peo-
pie delighted to honor. There was no
time, no place, no inclination for a
political demonstration Benjamin
Harrison as a man and politician is one
thing; Benjamin Harrison as president
OF the United States is above all ques-
lions OF party fealty or partisan queS-
tons. Texas rendered TO Mr.. Harrison
the homage that was his due as the
executive head of the mightiest nation
on the earth, and not of any particular
merit or brilliancy he may have pos
sessed as man.
Peculiarly beautiful and appropriate
it seems to us, were the floral offerings
showered upon him throughout his pro-
gress through the state. These choice
aoral gifts OF the balmy Southland we're
the best expression Of the cordial feel
ing entertained that could have been
devised.
The visit Of the president has demon
strated to the Northern press who have
heretofore rallied and cavi,ed at the
South that the spirit Of secionali5m is
not so deep, so bitter. so vast, as it
would have the Northern readers be-
Iicve: that the spirit OF sectionalism is
more intoierant in the North and that
it is the North alone that is largely re-
sponsib!e for tanning the fires of
sectional hate by the vitriolic speeches
OF its Ingalls,, and the demagogic utter
ances of bitterly partisan press.
Texas did not toady 10 Harrison. She
treated him as she would treat any dis
tinguished guest. She did not stop to
ask pledges that he should support free
trade. or the free coinage of silver, or
indorse any of the questions she is
deeply interested in. Galveston did
not try to exact from him promises re-
garding deep water, but she rose with
the lark, met him as an honorcd guest
and rendered his stay as pleasant as it
could be made. 1t was not Ben Har-
rison the Republican, Ben Harrison
the politician, it was the nations presi-
dent 1t is safe to say that this trip OF
the president through the South, pict-
ured as the hot-bed of fanatacism, has
done more to open the eyes of the peo-
pie OF the North to the fact that the New
South is more deeply interested in mat
ters regarding improvement and prog
ress than in raking over the ashes of a
dead and forgotten past. and that the
stump speeches of Northern dema-
gogues abusing the South will not be
heard with the same tolerance as here

BY accepting the legislation of the
late legislature as binding upon
them, the representatives, of the
Texas railroads have done a judi
cious thing. It was not, indeed, con-
cession on their part for which the
public owe them gratitude, for the
state is a greater power than the rail-
roads, and they would have had to do
the laws will: but they could have been
very troublesome if they had chosen to
be stiff-neckcd about it, and put great
many distractions in the way Of the
new laws to regulate them. Their
prompt acceptance OF what is offered
them is to their credit. and If they will
give the state 4 genuine, hearty assist
ance 10 its endeavor to correct the
abuses connected with railway manage
ment in Texas, thcy will evoke 4 re-
