NORTH TEXAS has had her day.
Time was when southwest Texas was
a terra incognita and all south of Dali
las and Fort w orth was a semi-wil-
derness devoted to cactus and mes

few adventurous Americans were
found, and these mostly outlaws or
the toughest kind of hard citizens.
That day has passed and the atten-
ton of the thousands directed to
Texas is largely directed to the south
ern half of the state. The whole gulf
coast region has come into notice.

steriIity of this region are exploded

REPusLIcANIsM ON DECK.

| REORGANIZATION ON DESN'
Mckinley has showed Campbell un
der in Ohio. New York elects Flow
er. Pennsylvania goes republican by
a zig majority. The legislatures Of
Massachusetts, and Iowa are repub
lican, with the governorship in doubt
Iowa republicans make clean sweep
of all the state ticket except governor
and will control 10th branches of the
legislature. The real truth cannot be
known until more complete returns
are received. The result so far as
known is not any body's Waterloo but
the honors are with the republice
party. The control of the legislature
in Ohio by the republicans, with q
senatorial election pending offsets the
New York loss this year, as the old
Empire state is democratic on state
elections nine times out of ten. The
situation is encouraging for republic
can success in 1892. The republicans
have rapidly and substantially gained
ground since 1889, and as the returns
in Massachusetts, and Iowa show a
democratic victory possible In the
case OF governor only, the rest
of the ticket being republi-
can, there is no doubt o.
the result in these states next yesr.
The republicans have redeemed Ohio
and Pennsylvania, have again secur' d
possession of the states of Massachu-
sets and Iowa, with the possible ex
ception of governor, and thus give
assurance of republican victory in
these states next year. New York
has only been true to her traditions.
Democratic in state election, repubi
can only each alternate presi- |
den tial election, she will have |
m lde no democratic gain even if
she go democratic next year. This
however does not follow as, the state
went strongly democratic in 1888 for
governor and almost as strongly re |
publican for president. If, as it is
n W quite certain, the republicans
nave carried the Ohio legislature
there is every reason to feel greatly |
encouraged at the prospect for the
party in the presidential
campaign so soon to open. Two
years ago Pennsylvania, Ohio,
New York, Iowa, Massachusetts
were all in the democra:
ic column; Kansas was at the mercy
of the alliance, and Nebraska was in
the hande of the democracy. To-Day
all of these states are redeemed from
anti republican control with the sim
gle exception of New York-ssve in
the possible governorship ofIowa and
Massachusetts, where prohibition
in the one case and personal
popularity in the other may have de-
cided the contest for governor. Taking
the most conservative view possible
from the returns, the republicans
have great reason to be encouraged
for the coming presidential campaign.

STRUCK IN A FOG AT SEA.
A SAILING VESSEL RUNS DOWN
THE ARIZONA.

The White-Winged Craft Never Seen
Again and Is Supposed to Have
Foundered-The Passengers on the
Steamer Rush from Their Berths In
Alarm.
QUEENSTOWN, Sept. 13.-Phe Guion line
steamer Arizona, Capt. Brooks, from New
York Sept. for Liverpool, arrived here to-
day in battered condition. Certain
passengers report that at an early hour
Sunday, Sept. 6, while the vessel was in
fog, but steaming rapidly. an unknown
sailing vessel, believed to be a
large coasting schooner, struck her
stem on the Arizona's port quarter. The
passengers, who were in bed at the time of
the accident, were awakened by the shock
and noise of the collision and all rushed on
deck. II was seen that thirty feet of the
rails and life-boat had been smashed, that
the deck was damaged and that several
plates had been bent.
ALARM AMONG THE PASSENGERS.
Owing to there ominous evidences of the
collision, it was at first believed that the
consequences of the accident were more
serious than proved to be the case. The
passengers were much alarmed and the life
belts were prepared. but the fears of all were
soon allayed. The Arizona for long time
searched in vain for the unfortunate sail
ing vessel. Part of her bowsprit was left
on the Arizcnas deck. From the wreckage
seen, it is feared she foundered.
PASSENGERS STORY.
One passenger makes the following state
ment: AFTER passing Sandy Hook we en-
tered haze, which later became dense
fog. The fog horn was kept blowing.
About II p. m. a loud report like the burst
ing OF boiler startled the passengers, who
rushed on deck. The captain, who was on
the bridge, ordered the engines reversed at
full speed. He assured the passengers that
the steamer was all right and ordered
them below.
THE SAILER NEVER SEEN AGAIN.
"Afterward the officers stated that q
three-masted ship had struck the Arizona
on the port side. almost amidships and then
disappeared. The fog steam whistles and
fog-horn were kept going long after the
collision, but nothing was discovered. The
steamers pumps were started, but nc
water was found. So violent was the coli
lision that passengers sleeping on the dam
aged side or the steamer were thrown from
their berths u
