a Republicans View.

isNA4AtI 'as+'tN''
DEAR SIR-AlthOueh old Republicans,
many of rs voted for Governor Hogg and in
the main, for the Democratic ticket, believ-
ing it TO be the best thing under the circUm-
stances, but in the light of this alien land
law II seems as if it might have been the
worst. We send poor wretch to the
penitentiary fer taking few dollars
but these people, sent as the servants of
the puo!c and sitting i'll our beautiful cap
ito. some through design aud some through
carelessness. are robbing the best men of
the state. The more euterpriSing man Is,
the more he is doing TO give employment
aud TO develop the state, the greater are
his suferings and the greater his loss under
this cruel end unjust law.
If such law must be passed, why spring
it upon us during general depression Why
could we not have had little time to pre-
pare! We thought we were sending men
who would hesitate and consider before
they passed laws affecting finance. There
seems no movement on the part of
any of our representatives TO undo the
mischief done. Let them walk through the
streets of our cities and look into the faces
of business men. Let them try to borrow
a little money on the best of collateral.
They need not go to an alien: American in
vestors look upon us with suspicion. From
being considered the best state in the Union
in which 10 invest money, we are now con-
Sluefeu lHe WOTSt- odplldt Is OF necessity
easily alarmed. and we have BY this legis-
lative action given it occasion.
! know what | am writing about, and
only do so because driven to it by seeing
the necessities and distress of most worthy
people who come to ME. and who would not
be in trou lie but for this cruel law Men
who, under the natural condition of bust
ness. would have been able to meet their
obligations, but who did not and could
not foresee such suicidal conduct at
Austin. If our legislators had stayed at
home and we had just been left alone, the
splendid crops which kind providence has
sent us. and the working of natural causes
would by this time, as they have done in
other parts Of our country, helped long
way toward lifting US up from the general
depression.
This injustice will be removed, but must
we wait until thousands of the best men of
the state are ruineda Until we are set
back for years? No one class in a commun-
ity is helped by destroying another We

OUT OF CASH.

The unexplainable and inexcusable
delay in beginning work on the Fort
Worth postoffice building, for which
S1.5, 900 was appropriated by congress
more than six months ago, is perhaps
accounted for by discovery that the
New York Herald has made. The
Herald charges that the extravaganza
Of the billion-dollar congress has so
nearly swamped the treasury that the
money is not available. Left with
practically no available funds on hand,
Secretary Foster is pursuing the prac-
tice Of holding back appropriations to
the last possible minute" This policy
OF holding back appropriations was not
adopted on the spur OF the moment.
The subject was discussed at one Of the
last cabinet meetings, aud it WAS there
agreed that only such acquisitions as
could not by any possibility be delayed
should be approved. Where work is
not yet in progress. as is the case with
many Of the public buildings authorized
by the last congress. the starting of the
work is delayed and no money at all is
allowed TO go out
The object of holding back the money
now il the treasury, and amounting to
many millions, is TO provide for the
October payment of pensions, which
II h., inv dol
lars.
That accounts for it. We must all
stand back. and public business must be
delayed. until tie pension grabbers are
fed Then, out of what is left over,
we will get our share, probably, and
work Will begin on our Federal build

How much better of will the country

THE AMERICAN HOG.

Since the American hog got through
the Brandenburg gate-and be it noted
that he didn't have TO crawl under it
his friends have been looking around
to see if there isn't some other gate that
can be opened for him. And they have
turned their eyes upon Austria. In
1880 the United States exported TO Aus
tria 100. 9S5 pounds of bacon and hams.
10, 500 pounds OF sailed pork and 800
OIL pounds Of lard. Since that time our
exports OF these products TO that coun-
try have virtually ceased because OF a
governmental decree of prohibition
similar in spirit TO the one that Ger
many has just rescinded. Like Ger
many. Austria has gone to making beef
sugar on large scale. In the last three
months of the calendar year 1890 she
sent Us beet sugar amounting in value
to 81, ,5i. 429.
1t is thought that perhaps hint to
Austria from our state department that
unless our pork products were admit
ted the duty on beet sugar would be
imposed again. would have the same
effect that it did on Germany. 1t is
certain that the American hog is
needed in Austria. and that it would
be good for him to be there. If he can
get there through hints. or reciprocity,
or any other suitable arrangements he
ought to. He is too useful an animal
to be restricted in his travels.
