TEXAS GOVERNOR
Vetoes aBllI to Receive Bounty from
the Government.

AUSTIN, TEXAS. March 2S-Thc
State OF Texas owns and runs a sugar
farm, worked by convicts Recently
a bill was passed by the Legislature to
accept atwo cent bounty under the
Mckinley bill Governor Hogg We
toed it. The veto closes in part as
follows: The State is sovereign OF
her own affairs and cannot be dis.
turhed in the legitimate exercise Of
her prerogatiyes. II she desires to
raise sugar by convict labor, under no
circumstances could she with pro.
priety ask or accept from any govern
ment license to do 81. Nor could
she yield to the supervision of her ai
fairs by any officer not subordinate to
her own laws. To do so In one in
stance would lead TO another and
finally to supervision by the Federal
Government over cotton patches,
wheat fields, stock ranches, lumber
yards and factories ithin her limits.
Pr,cedents by government usurpa3ion
becomes stronger than law. Worse,
they are more difficult to overthrow.
When they are erected on the de-
structiur of the constitution. like
"bounty" acts, the wrong which pro-
duced them strengthens as the fruits
Of crime spread until they become
fastened fore er on the people For
my part shall protest and begin to
strike now while the precedent is new
For no sum can the Stale afford To

Hon. jerry Simpson.

Enloe, Allen and others look to
your laurels, Jerry Simpson, the
sockless statesman, is not only a
brainy man, but is a humorist OF
high order and promises to be
popular and leading character
in the next Congress. Jerry
was the orator of the day at a
great alliance meeting at Easton,
Md, March 9th. He said the Ali
ance had fought and had succeeded
in beating Ingalls,, the man who had
kept the Republicans in Kansas to-
gether by pleading sectionalism.
The district Mr.. Simpson will rep
resent in the next Congress has 20, 900
voters. In the convention that nom
mated him there is no lawyer, only
two men with white collars and nine
with white shirts. Such a conven-
tion in Kansas is close to heaven.
They had broken up the Republican
party so that nothing was left of it
bit a bung-hole, around which bar
rel could not be built. He said that
there is not gold enough in the world
to fill the decayed teeth of the peo-
pie, much less to furnish an adequate
circulating medium, which should
not be less than $50 per capita.
While it may be true that farmer
can buy as much now with a gold
dollar as he ever could, it cost him at
least three times more ofhis products
to get the dollar than il ever did be.

cost q cents bushel to raise, sold at

"The entire substance of this mon

The rich, holding coupons and the

But the true interest Of the nation is
to pass the silver bill, and import the

keep silver and gold on par, and
by no means disturb monetary ex-

The Postal Subsidy steal.

The Republicans will not be scarce
of campaign funds in '92. They
have provided large stealages in near
ly all of the appropriations. Besides
in pensions, protecting pension
agents, the manufacturing monopo
lies, trusts, Wall street money sharks,
etc, etc., they have provided for at
least a quarter of million in the
postal subsidy bill. This subsidy is
to be used by Brother John Wanna
maker, who came down with cool
four hundred thousand out of his
own pocket in '88, and no man
knows better than he how 10 handle
a postal subsidy to make it do the
most good. This bill supplements

worth half a million dollars to the
company. Now what need had rich
Mr.. Gould for this money in running
his ships, anyhow?

time for nearly seven years. At times

great deal for it with physicians and

and almost everything that is recon-
mended for rheumatism. Finally a
neighbor advised me to try Chamber

1t would help me that | procured a
