4 Peculiar Advertising Contract.

We're equal what chumpS the Southern

ten times as much as some of the other
roads! VIII Mr. Waldo please take an OBJ
serVatlon and see il he can discern any
thing green in the Texas optic-!San
Antonio Express.
Does the esteemed Expaess mean to say
mat the advertisement carried by tue two
Newses Tor tle Texas and Pacific, which
pdiu St@-u was the same size is the one
carried Tor the Texas Central at Sl20. or
the ST. Louis and sun Francisco at $50.

Newses every day in the year: the Texas

got the same amount of advertising Mai.
Waldo stated that he had apportioncd The
amount Of the whole bill among the roads
according to their mileage in the state but
surely the News did not charge for it on a

contract ever made

now asking the statesmen to solve.
They understand how the tariff can be
dealt with, but are not SO clear in their
views of the financial question. How
to obtain more money is the puzzle.
They insist that there is way, and
some Of them have some very. very
visionary and crude notions OF their
own about it. But that is because none
OF our experienced and enlightened
statesmen have condescended to suggest
method that would satisfy the most of
Us, and end the controversy If some
one possessed the genius to conceive or
work out such plan, and would pro-
pose it, there would soon be an end of
sub-treasuryism. 1t is the rank weed
that infests the political field. Wise
legislative husbandry will speedily ex-
terminate it. To that emu the people
are laboring. Greed must be banished
from power, and honesty given a
chance at the helm. Only the farmers
when thoroughly aroused can bring
that about, and they are aroused.
More power to their elbows!

CONE To TEXAS,

A very gloomy view of the agri.
culturi situation in Georgia is i'm.
presseo upon its readers by the Atlanta
Constitution. I'VE now raise cotton
at an actual loss Of several cents a
pound" says the Constitution. 1t fur
Their claims that years of diversified
farming will be needed to reclaim the
WORKOUT lands of that state. The
lands must be reclaimed by iudicious
fertilization and culture.
In Texas we have nothing of this
discouraging nature to contend with.
Our lands are virgin in their freshness.
Artificial fertilization is unknown
among Us. That expense is spared us.
There are millions of acres of lands
whose surface has never been married
by the plow or harrow, that await only
to be brought under cultivation to Weld
their bountiful returns to toll and in
dustry. Cotton is low, but our lands
are cheap, and the expense of fertiI-
lzlng does not eat up profits Even at
cents pound, there is little money
IN 1t, instead OF ian actual loss of sew
eral cents pound" as is the woeful
case in Georgia.
We sympathize with our Georgia
brethren, and as an evidence of our
sympathy, we invite them to come to
Texas and share with US all the rich
gifts that nature has bestowed upon us.
We have room for millions, so they
need not hang back through fear OF
US for room.

held in Fort Worth Friday and Saturday,
July 10 and II. This will be one of the
most important Alliance meetings ever
held in this state, and coming as it does at
time when action is demanded to preserve
that order to the people in its purity, il
means great deal. The purposes of the
call cannot be misunderstood. They are
brief and pointed. The Alliance people of
IeXas should attend this important meeting
and hear the ''other side OF the sub-treas2
ury scheme discussed. Great issues are in
volved in this measure and it should be
carefully studied, and no person is pre-
pared to arrive at an opinion without fully
and impartially viewing it from all sides.

GOV. H0uG AND THE CoyMITrEE.

1t Is 10 be regretted that the investi-
eating committee at Galveston did not
act Iavorably on the suggestion Of Gov
ernor Hogg and permit him to 90 upon
the witness stand to tell what he knows
about the International and Great
Northern receivcrship. He would not
have expressed q desire to testify did
he not know something that would en-
tighten the committee and aid it in ar
irving at just conclusion about the
management of the receiyership. 1t
has been very evident from the BEGIN
ming that he was at least a part, and
principal part, of the game the third
party was after. They hoped to scalp
him, and during the investigation tried
hard to elicit testimony that would
remotely, even, challenge his motives
III intervening. Neither by implica-
ton. insinuation or innuendo could they
reach him. They hawked at him. but
to nopprPose. The public has an in
terest in knowing just what he did in
the case, and why he did it, and what
his motives. BY Implication, at least.
his motives were challenged, and
knowing a good deal about the case, he
might properly enough have been per-
mitted to defend himself and tell what
he knows about it. Being a plain,
blunt man, his testimony would at least
make powerful good reading.

If there is one man in Texas, who more

man is Col. \. II. Belo. Six months ago
