Tex. is handy book of reference for
business men. 1t is convenient in size,
attractive in appearance. and the con-
tents are well arranged, bearing testi-
mony to truth of the assertion in the
preface that the book has been
prepared with care. The decisions of
the courts on leading questions OF bust
ness are given in concise manner and
are not encountered with unnecessary
legal verbiage. The printed forms OF
the manifold negotiable instruments
will be found helpful where any uncer-
tainty arises, and may be used conf
deutlv, as the writer says in his preface
that he has had the assistance of the
best legal and business talent in the
compilation.

y MONTH ago, when newspapers pub
lished the statement that Fred Doug
lass was going to resign as minister TO
Hayti, the oif-coor statesman vigor-
ou-ly denied it and made some en-
phatic remarks about meddling report
ers and the unreliability OF the press.
He sent in his resignation yesterday.
Two or three days before Boss Quay
resigned as chairman of the Republi-
can national committee. the newspapers
gave publicity to the report that he
was going to take such step. which he
angriiy denied. and INDUCED in some
russing al the lying newspapers. At
the time he so strongly denied it. his
resignation was written out.
Somebody did lie, indeed, but the
record shows that as between the
statesmen and the newspapers the lat
ter can afford to stand it.

and goats. There are some cattle
ranches. The country has never been
engaged in agriculture, and no crops OF
any kind are raised there, except
enough to supply the scant needs of the
people.
Telegraphic reports OF this drouth
have been sent abroad. and the news
papers outside of Texas are giving a
great deal of space to the great Texas
drouth.
1t is not easy for people in the North
and East to understand Texas. To
them Texas is simply Texas, nothing
more. \ drouth in some part of the
state is Texas drouth. as drouth in
Massachusetts would be Massachus-
ettS drouth. But Texas drouth may
cover several thousand square miles
an area equal to the whole state OF
observation-disclosures yet Texas may be
comparatively unaffected by it. The
state is so big that North Texas may
be suffering from a surplus Of water as
much as South Texas suffers for the
want OF it. Our %. 1000 square miles OF
territory is so vast that it is not COM
pretended. From Texarkana to FL
Paso it is as far as from New York to
Chicago. but who for an instant would
think OF a drouth in New York because
OF the lack of rain in Chicago:
The fact is that agricultural Texas is
no more affected by the dry weather
along the Rio Grande than agricultural
Missouri would be affected by dry
weather on the plains of Colorado.
The crops of all kinds are larger this
year than they ever were, and are as
tonishing even to our own people. It
is estimated that our eXportable pro-
duets OF the farm Will exceed in value
S120. 100000. No other state in the
Union can approach to this figure of
eXportable farm products. We are do
ing pretty well this year and the
drouth along the Rio Grandeis no more
felt than a bucket OF water would be
missed from the volume of the Mis-
sissippi's food.

THE rain-makers got TO work out on
the Western Texas plains on Monday,
and on Tuesday came the rains. Was
there any connection between cause and
effect here: One apparent instance of
success does not prove ii. for it might
have rained anyhow. But if in several
cases rainfall comes after the detona
tiOns of the rain-makers, there is an ev-
ident connection between the two, and
we may conclude that man can in a
measure control the rainfall. But all
that Is Vet to he proved

THE Dallas organ of the sub-treasurv
asserted that an Alliance in Bell county
had approved the sub-treasury plan.
The Alliance wrote the paper that such
report was an error, as it had not ap-
proved that scheme, The Mercury re-
fused to give place 10 this correction,
and the Alliance that is thus misrepre-
scented has come 10 THE GAZETTE to
oct medium for denying the libelous
accusation. Well. what is an organ

suppress everything that is not in line
with the views OF those who turn the

REDUCTIONS have been made on
rates of a number of articles at the re-
quest OF the Texas railroads them
selves. In one or two instances appli-
cations from the roads for reduction
OF rates We're refused. Can it be said
that the commission is driving the rail
roads to hades very fast? Some reduc-
tons will be made, some inequalities
will be equalized, but the railroad com
panies are not likely to suffer from the
radicalism OF the present commits

| Fort Worth has an opportunity 10 secure

| In showing the merits Of the unicycle sys-
| TEN. Mr.. Turner says: We can make Il
| speed for passenger travel with perfect
| safety Of 100 miles per hour. For city and
| suburban roads our motor cars will be
geared for Il speed of sixty miles per hour
making an average, including stops. of
forty miles. In comparing the advantages
over surface electric or cable roads,
this statement is made: They are COM
PEELED by law 10 run at a slow 1Speed sfrOm
eight 10 twelve miles per hour, 10 prevent
accident; they are compelled to follow the
grade of streets in laying their track. and
make stops AZ street crossings. When
they are III motion, twelve 10 fifteen-hOrSes
power runs them, but when 4 stop on grade
IS made, il requires an add
uonal power TO get under head

operates the surface road. The unicycle
elevated railway, running at an average
speed of forty miles per hour. the surface
roads at an average of ten miles an hour:
the unicycle making four trips to their one,
hauling the same number of passengers
with one-fourth of the cars, at Il higher
speed, with less power, cutting down thee
operative expense of plant three-quarters,
all told.
After relating the success of the St.
Louis line, Mr.. Turner says:
My company has many propositions from
different parts of the country Among
others are inquiries from New York, Chi.
cago and Buffalo A few of my Fort Worth
friends have seen and ridden on the expert

Does Fort Worth and Texas wish
TO foster one Of the greatest of
enterprises of the age which was con
ceived and born in Fort Worth Tex.
If SO, Fort Worth and Texas being my ma
tivity, it would be very gratifying to me TO
get an invitation to erect our manufac-
turing plant AT my home. / have advertised
Texas largely through my feeble efforts
in getting the unicycie elevated eiecIrIc
railroad before the pubic as being d Fort
Worth and Texas invention. My company
will soon look for a location 10 establish
its shops and settle the question OF
location at the point where most liberalitJs{
is shown. We anticipate in time to build up
works far superior 10 that of the Pullman
company. As reference to Substantite
