MAKE THE STATE THE BENEFICIARY.

An Alabama public official OF thrifty
habits is in disgrace for having charged
the state with the amount of his rail-
road fare, while travelling on q free
pass that was given TO him on account
of his official connection with the gov
ernment It was a pretty profit he
made while in public employment. For
every thousand miles travelled, the
state paid him $50, which he would
have had to pay if he had not had the
benefit of a dead-head pass As the
passage cost him nothing, and the state
recompensed him for what it was sup
posed he had paid, he was ahead by $50
for every thousand miles traversed.

seated. The contest was carried to the
supreme court of the state, which has
just made its decision in favor Of
Thayer. Boyd will carry the case to
the supreme court of the United States
for final adjustment.
There was no pretense that anybody
but Boyd was elected. He was given
majority OF the votes, and was the
choice OF the people of the state for
governor. But because there was some
doubt as to his citizenship, the defeated
candidate claims the Office which the
people have refused to allow him, and
he proposes to hold on to it if techni-
cality OF the law will let him in.

there will be large attendance of
delegates, both men and women, at the
Worlds fair meeting. a welcome to
this city, and means Of entertainment

vided. What has been done? We

BECAUSE steering committees exist
is no argument against the just de-
mands of the agricultural classes, and
because the sub-treasury scheme is a
wildcat idea is no reason why some
plan for increasing the amount Of
money in the United States should not
be devised, and promptly. The SUBJ
treasury scheme gains adherents be-
cause the national administration will
not heed the cry Of distress that rises
up from the West and South.

In reply to the question OF the shrewd
GAZETTE, Fort Worth may answer too hast
tily, yes, and live to regret that she did not
give the question more deliberate thought
and attention. But we hope the Fort is
prepared already. but if she is not that she
will prepare herself for the coming harvest
of magnifcenee to be reaped from handling
the vast trade Of the great Brownwood
country. 1t will not be the handling of
10000 bales Of cotton, or fifty carloads
Of pecars, or 10000 pounds of
wool, or thousands of bushels
wheat and oats and barley and rye and corn
and potatoes, or %, 900 head Of cattle, or 5000
head of horses and mules, or few thou
sands Of hogs, goats or sheep, to say moth
ing Of the vast deal of hay, etc, but all the
above in the aggregate with the cotton in
creased possibly TO 40, 600 or $1,000 bales by

IT IS all right to oppose the sub
treasury scheme as a wildcat attempt
to supply the lack OF sufficient volume
of money in this country. But simple
denunciation will not answer. and
something more substantial must be
substituted as means of supplying the
demand for more money. Gentlemen
in official position who draw their sal
aries regularly may not be able to ap-
peeciate the demand. but it is growing
and must be met.
