THE American Grange Bulletin says:
''Hide-bound politicians have very much
gratuitous advice to give farmers, con.
corning their political duties. This
over-abundance of advice is uncalled
for and is not wanted. The farmer,
and by that term We mean the man who
actually tills the soil, has become a STU
dent. He knows, without asking, that
the times are all unjointed and that, for
some reason or reasons, he is the I'M
dermost portion of the national struc.
ture. Knowing this he intends to dis
cover the causes and apply the remedy.
Naturally conservative, his ways will
be the ways of peace, but none the less
effective They applied the remedy
very effectusly in Kansas and South
Carolina. and sectionalism must give
way before any real reform can be ac-
complished. ingalls, in Kansas and
Hampton in South Carolina stood for
the past rather than the present. and

In addition 10 the Sill, O0O. 600 that will
come into Texas this year for her farm
products, other than fruits and vegetables,
it is conservatively estimated that SO, CO.,
600 will be received for cattle, sheep,
horses, wool, hides, fruits, sorghum, hay.
millet, rye, etc This will make grand
total of s143, OoO, 900 of gold, silver and
paper money that will come to Texas be-
tween now and May /, 1892. Texas will
be more prosperous in the next twelve
months than ever before in her history. A
prominent cotton man says the estimate
made for the cotton crop, $50. 0O0, 600, is too
low; that from S., O00, 900 to 800 0O0, 600 will
be paid Texas planters for the staple. Fort
Worth cannot prepare too soon TO do the
business that will have to be done by some
commercial city. This is Fort Worth's
golden opportunity

In none of the published reports of
the resolution passed at New Orleans
January 10, 1889, by the International
association does the name of the chair
man appear. In copy of the reso-
luton now in THE GAZETTE'S posses
sion, declaring ''that the Galveston and
Dallas News be paid at the rate of
$4,000 year. etc, the signature of
J. Waldo, chairman, appears. That is
why THE GAZETTE suggested that Mr..
Waldo be called before the committee.
Mr.. Waldo can probably explain why
the traffic association regarded the
sl2,00 as "a fund" to meet the pay
ment of which the roads were to be
assessed" by him as chairman.

The Effect Abroad.
st. Louis Republic.


The fact that immigration to this country
shows considerable increase since the
new tariff was passed attracts attention
and provokeS speculation. The arrivals for
March, 1891, were 81, 173, and for March of
1890, 35, $50. For the first three months of
the present year they were st, 04S, and for
the first three months of last year 64.02l,
and for the nine months ending with March
of the present year they were SIG, 2311,
against 254, 403 for the corresponding period
ending with March, 1890.
AS there is no special conditions of things
in this country to attribute this remarkable
impetus in immigration to, attention is di-
rected to Europe to lind the explanation,
and that explanation is found in the break
down or suspension of industries brought
about by our new tariff. When the Me
Kinley bill was under discussion it was
claimed for it that it would paralyze certain
manufactures abroad by building them up,
at enormous cost, to the people in this coun-
try. If the ungenerous boast is being full
filed, then the increased immigration is
simply the exodus of unemployed and suf-
fering operatives from countries where
they can no longer earn living. Not that
they are needed here, for the opposition to
indiscriminate immigration is growing
stronger every day; but they cannot remain
at home, and to what country should they
take their "pauper labor'' but to this,
where they may 0ffer 1t at pauper wageSf
The barbaric Mckinley tariff ignores the
modern tendency Of the people Of the earth
to common brotherhood, and takes fero-
cious delight in forcing the people of this
country to pay millions of dollars year to
break down an industry in Germany or
England But such an unfraternal policy
will surely bring its own retribution in the
end, and when the standard of American
wages shall have been brought down nearer
to the European rate by the increased i'm
portation Of cheap labor we shall find that
the ruin of foreign industry was never a
thing to strive for nor to boast Of

GEORGIA turns up some odd freaks
now and then. Lulu Hurst, the mag
netic girl, was Of Georgia growth. The
latest and most unique freak is a
forger. He wanted the Office of United
States Commissioner Bell, but as Bell
had a pretty good cinch on it, and was
averse to turning loose, the prospect
for getting the place was very dis
couraging. Georgia genius triumphed.
The aspirant wrote out a resignation Of
the Office. forged Bells name to it. for
warded it to Washington City, and sent
in his own application for the office.
At the present writing Bell still holds
the Office and the forger is in Jail.

TEACHERs IN CoUNCII.

| Inc meeting Oh the St2te teachers IN
annual conference as now at Austin, is
matter of moment to the educational
interests of the entire state. It
means the establishment of system and
organized effort in our schools. To
that extent. at least, it marks the pro-
gress made in recent years in this de-
partment of human activity. 1t is a
departure, and wide one, from the
old community system that knew not
what system, intelligent cooperation
or progress meant. Under that moss
covered old method of teaching every
pedagogue that welded birch was a
law unto himself. He attended no
teachers meetings. He was never
visited by an educated superintendent,
who might inspect his work and sug-
| gest improvements, better and more
recent books and methods. He was
never inside a summer normal, and
| never got new idea OF teaching any
branch from spelling to figuring that
the good Lord did not put into his
head. He knew very little about the
| force of moral suasion in school govern
ment, and generally pursued the same
| tactics that the street-car driver does
in "eNhorting an impenitent mule"
His acquaintance with textbooks was as
limited as his knowledge of methods,
| and what the urchin Of the day learned
under such a teacher, he got by main
strength and awkwardness. There was
no supervision, no sense of responsi
bility, and not very much good ac-
complished for the outlay, except in
isolated instances.
But that haphazard and slips nod
method OF teaching has about disap-
peared, or is fast doing so in the state.
The art of teaching is becoming
profession, and individual teachers
are coming to feel and appreciate the
value Of the esprit de corps that arouses
and maintains professional pride. 1t
brings them together in town and city
and county meetings, in summer nor
mails, and once a year in state meet
ing, at which an elaborate programme
is prepared and discussed, and where
new ideas are born, and where new in
centives to work are found. The men,
tai horizon Of each teacher that comes
is broadened, and his knowledge of
how to teach increased and extended.
He forms new and valuable acquaint-
ances and friendships and is made a
broader and more liberal minded man
or woman than before. Forced by cir
cumstances and the nature of his call
ing to life more or less reclusive, he
needs as often as possible to go abroad,
to visit the sunlight, and learn what is
going on about him. He must do this
to avoid becoming fossilized or steril-
lied. Hence the value and Importance
of teachers meetings, great or small.
They all have their value and the
earnest and conscientious teacher will
always try to make the most of it by
being on hand.

about by foreign money coming to the
state. The effect of the law is to expel
this money, because no man will loan
money on land that he cannot take If
the loan is not paid. Neither will do
nestle loan companies take the place of
the foreign companies, because it is i'm
possible for them to know that all of
| their stockholders are citizens of the
United States, and article 10 prohibits
any firm, company or corporation from
I acquiring title to real estate If a single
| member Of it is an alien. No corpora
ton can be certain that its stockholders
are all citizens o! the United States.
| If a single one among a hundred is a
foreigner. even though living in this
country but unnaturalized, that COM
pany cannot acquire valid title to land.
1t cannot be known how much money
is now loaned on Texas real estate. The
sum probably is not less than $50, 000,-
Co.,. This money will be called in as
fast as the loans are due, for the mort
gage companies will protect themselves.
Where will the debtors find money to
pay these debts? If they can't get the
money they will lose their land.
And this, while bad enough for the
debtor classes, is not the worst. The
law is more far-reaching. 1t strikes at
and unsettles all real estate titles. Any
deed or other conveyance purporting to
convey title to any alien or unnatural
lied foreigner, or to any firm, company
or corporation composed of such in
whole or in part, shall be void. Such
is the law. A defect in deed affects
all who holds under that deed. Twenty
years hence, if it can be proved that
deed was made at any time after the
taking effect of this law, by person
who was not citizen of the United
States, or by company any one mem-
Der of which was an alien, the land
escheats to the state, and the owner
loses it. A purchaser looks to his alb
stract for purity of title. An abstract
cannot show that all persons through
whose hands the deed has passed were
citizens. With that uncertainty to face,
and with the certainty that if any one
of the members was not citizen, the
holder of the land is likely to lose it,
together with all the improvements
that may have been put on it. transfers
of real estate in Texas will be rare oc-
currences. There will be no buyers.
Without buyers there will be no value
to land. except for what can be raised
on it.
A special session of the legislature
might afford relief against this vicious
law by repeating or modifying it. I'm
less something of the kind is done, and
at once, the people of Texas will be the
main sufferers, and they will suffer
grievously.

THE Italian consul at ST. Louis seems

common sense than the consul DIT New

Italians as being simply a brawl that is

get TOO much mean whisky aboard, and
he will not go to blathering about the
