MASON MATTERS.
A Chapter of Accidents from the Manganese
City.

Special to The Statesman.
MASON, Tex, Sept. 13.-Captain h.
Millerkin, gentleman of about Sc
years, has been employed by the Ma
son Milling, Ginning and Manufacture
ing company as night Waterman in
the steam ginnery and cotton yard.
Last Sunday night, after supper, a
noise was heard in the direction of the
gin by people living near, which was
soon forgotten, but early Monday
morning, when the force Of employees
of the company came to the gin house
they found Mr.. Millerkin lying in the
press room, bleeding and unconscious.
He had gone into the second story to
inspect everything before taking his
regular beat on the outside, it is sup
posed, and not having any light
walked off the high precipice, over
which the cotton falls from the gin
stands to the press. 1t has been the
intention Of the managers to place
banisters along the stairway and pre-
vent any accident. He leaves four
children parentless, and the sad oc-
curence is regretted by everyone.
Master James Martin, a young man

which came after about twenty-tour
hours of suffering.

rEyAN SCHOOLS For TEXANS.

TEXAN SCHOOLO run IEAh-ND'
The agents from Northern and
Western schools and collegs have
passed through the state, gathering
in their yearly harvest of pupils, The
sons and daughters of Texas citizens
are being educated as Kentuckians,
Missourians, Virginians; as anything
else but Texans. The state pride
which should be fOstered in them is
being utterly obliterated. For nine
months year, during the most sus-
ceptible periods of their lives, all
their interests and associations are out
side of the state which it should be
their delight to honor. The ties which
they will form there will i'll nine cases
out of ten, prove stronger then the
home ties. The parents of these young
people have not only to endure the
anxiety of separation from their chill
dren, but the separation in
cludes hundreds Of miles. IL the
event of sudden sickness or death,
there might not even be time for q
last kiss or message of love. And the
significant fact remains that while
Texas people are building up foreign
schools and colleges, there are no bet
ter institutions of learning to be
found anywhere than those in our
own state. There are a number of
high-grade schools in Texas which
on careful examination, would be
found equal to the best in the United
States. The most thorough and
painstaking teachers are at the head
of these Texas schools; and the pupils
educated there are given sound, thor
ough, practical educations as well as
''tinishedn ones. Yet these Texas
schools are left to struggle along as
best they may, with great part of
their legitimate patronage detected
into other channels. The patronage
might well come from the other way.
Let it be understood, hereafter, that
Missourians and Kentuckians who
wish their children to receive really
thorough educations may find schools
in Texas which will send them out
well trained men and women, able to
use the knowledge they have gained.

THE FARMERS ALLIANCE
COL. POLK, PRESIDENT OF THE NATION.
AL ALLIANCE, INTERVIEWED.
The Great Champion Of the American Farmer
Thinks that the Third Party is an
Assured Fact and That it
Cannot be Averted.

TOPEKA, Kas., Sept. 13.-Col. Polk,
the national president of the Farmers
Alliance, spent today at Alliance
headquarters. President Polk talked
freely on the political situation. eff
the Southern farmers are driven into
the Peoples party" he said, "no
power on earth can prevent them from
carrying every doubtful state.n
"But will they be driven into the
party?n
"Four months ago." answered Col.
Polk, ~ would have said that new
political party was not likely to fol-
low. 1t now seems impossible to pre-
vent it, in order to keep the Southern
farmers from going off with the
Peoples Party. The Southern Demo-
cratic leaders must stop their present
course at once. TWAS organized as a
non-partisan institution, and has been
conducted as such. The national
Democratic convention will not be
asked to incorporate the st. Louis de-
mands in it's platform. The wooirg
must come from the Democrats and
not from the Alliance. We
do not look for any more
concessions from the Democrats than
from the Republicans. We expect the
Democrats to nominate Cleveland de-
spite the protests of the South, North.
west and Southwest. They will UNITE
to fight John Sherman and Grover
Cleveland, that is the logic of the sit
uation, in the event of Cleveland's
nomination.
"Wlll the supreme council, which
meets in Washington in February, de-
clare for the Third Party?"
"That 1 cannot say, but a Third
Party seems inevitable. The South is
unit on the subtreasury plan. In
twelve of our state conventions it was
unanimously approved, and in the
other two conventions the OppO-
sitiOn was weak. Whether OF
not the supreme council in February
decides that the Third Party must be
placed IN the field, it will be go any
how, and it will receive thousands OF
votes in the South. The Democrats
have it in their power to stop the
| movement by acced1ng TO the ST
Louis demands. Nothing short of that
will avail, and if it is not done the
South is lost to them. Alliance organ
ization is much more perfect in the
southern states than in Kansas. Hel
men sometimes kick out Of
the traces. With us they never
do. We have learned that
only by organization can any
good DO accomplished. Neither of the
old parties have attempted to solve
the race question. Every two years
the politicians come around to inquire
how is the negro going to vote this
year, and having satisfied themselves
on this point they wait for another
election. We will take Mason and
Dixon's line and switch it about, and
will do it through the new political
party

is well not to fly off at tangents. Let
lis reason quietly together before we
accuse each other Of motives good or
had You and THE STATESMAN are
exactly together on the proposition
that Texas and, for us, especially
Austin needs lots of money, lots OF
people and lots Of prosperity;
is this not mutual ground for us to
start out on? If this is admitted must
it not be agreed that making money
scarce and dear, and slapping imml-
grafton in the face by saying we want
nothing foreign, would hardly seem
TO be the way to accomplish ouragreed
upon purposes? Yet is not your I'M
migration law, as at present framed,
such blow to our hopes? Now If
our citizens had been prepared for
such a state of affairs monetary as
now exists, they might have, by
course of the most rigid economy,
been able to escape somewhat from
the relentless grip Of the money
shark: but as it is they are ruthlessly
consigned to the mercy OF men who
have no mercy, and more harm is
done them in few months by their
present experience than they would
have suffered under the terrible me-
mace of foreign land ownership in fifty
wears. Candidly The STATESMAN
has no fear of the ghost cry of foreign
landlordism; but that feature has
nothing to do with this article. We
say throw around all monetary
transactions with foreigners such
restrictions as will make it
impossible for us to be subject
to foreign holdings Of our land; but
make those restrictions equitable, just
alike to those foreign lenders and to
our home borrowers. Where is the
occasion for such radical legislation as
has been adopted? Where is the
menance to our homes and our lands
at which such dreadful fright should
be taken? Let us be fair about this
matter. We are all opposed to foreign
land owners, very good; then let us
pass such laws as will prevent such
ownership, but let us do it in such
way as to be least hurtful to our home
people and the fairest to those whom
our practice for many years has in
vited to our country and encouraged
to extend their business. The
believes all that the most
lover of American soil
could desire, can be accomplished with
an alien land law different from the
one that is now causing so much
financial distress in Texas. This law
can be amended so as to accomplish
this result, and sound business de-
mands such amendment.

Science in Bread Making.

At the recent annual meeting of the
American Chemical Society, held in
Washington, ID. c., the question of
the value ofcarbonate ofammonia for
leavening bread, or as used in baking
powders came up for discussion, in
which Prof. Barker, of the University
of Pennsylvania, and President of the
Society; DR.. Richardson, late of the
United States Department of Agri-
culture in Washington; DR.. VIM.
McMurtrie, late Professor of Chemistry
in the University of Illinois; DR.. f. H =.
BARLEY, late Chemist of the Brook
Ign, N. Y, Board Of Health, and Pro-
fessor Of Chemistry ofthe Long Island
College, and others took part.
The consensus of opinion was over
whelming in favor of the employment
of ammonia. 1t was stated as fact
that ammonia rendered the gluten of
the flour more soluble than the origin
al gluten, and that the bread in which
this action was produced by carbon
ate Of ammonia must be more di-
gestible and hence more healthful.
and because of the extreme volatility
of carbonate of ammonia, and its
complete expulsion from the bread in
the process of baking, it is one of the
most useful, most healthful and most
valuable leavening agents known.
These conclusions are bourne out by
the very elaborate and exhaustive ex-
periments made by Prof. J. w. Mallet
of the University of Virginia, which
show conclusively that bread made
with baking powder in which l per
cent ofcarbonateo of ammonia is used, in
connection with cream of tartar and
soda, is not only of uniformly better
color and texture, but product more
wholesome because the ammonia serves
to neutralize any organic OF Tactic ac-
ids present in the flour.
