THE DEMAND FOR SILVER

The year 1891 has beheld three i'm
portant gatherings of representatives
of the industrial forces OF the country.
called together to give utterance TO
their demands for fiscal legislation.
The first OF these was the Trans-Missis-
sippi congress, that met i'll Kansas City
in the early summer. 1t considered
variety of industrial topics, but de-
voted its discussion largely to the sill
yer question, and by vote almost
unanimous called upon congress and
the president to give the country free
and unlimited coinage of silver with
gold
Next in order came the Salt Lake
City meeting of a few weeks ago, to
give voice to the demands of the West
for more money and for the irrigation
and reclamation of arid lands. After
prolonged discussion, in which de-
baters of all views took part, call
was made upon the national govern
ment for the enactment of such laws as
viii provide for the free coinage of the
product OF all American silver mines.
The Denver mining congress, just
closed, asks, by vote of 48l to s, for
the enactment of laws that shall put
silver and gold on parity in the minis
of the country.
To these three special conventions
called to take action on the silver CUES
ton may be added the Farmers con-
gress, held at Sedalia, Mo-, q week ago
which spoke for the farmer class by
calling sor legislation that shall enable
this country to utilize in the largest
way the output of its silver mines.
Besides these. nearly every conven-
ton of political parties-Democrat.
Republican, Peoples or other-held
last summer put in its platform a de-
mand for free and unlimited coinage,
and a pledge to see that such legisla-
ton as will reach that end shall be en-
acted
Such is the record of the year as to
the silver question. Can the man in
the White House put his judgment and
prejudice against the almost unani-
nous demand of the West and the
South, and great part of the East?

RAISE IMPROVED STOCK.

The discussions and proceedings OF
the stockmens convention at Austin
prove that the cattlemen of Texas re-
alize fully the altered conditions under
which stock raising must be conducted
in the future. if it is to continue a
source of profit. The days of the long
horn are about numbered. The mar
liet demands less horn and more fat.
The attention OF stockraisers hence
forth will be directed to the breeding
up OF their cattle, better feed and bet
ter care immigration into the state,
and the occupancy OF. grazing land by
settlers, leave no choice IN the matter.
Not only cattle. but sheep and hogs,
especially the latter, will oa' greatly

TIE Farmers convention at Indian
apolis was not SO large as it was ex-
pected to be. The Farmers Alliance
met there in council; the Supreme
Council and the Farmers Mutual Bene-
fit association were also there. These
are the two largest of the farmers as
sociations in the country, and it was
expected that the attendance would be
very large and that possibly the two
would unite. There IS, however, dis
turbing element there in the shape OF
the executive committee OF the third
party, which was formed at Columbus
this year, and another which was in
side the Alliance, the opponents to the
sub-treasury plan. Matters were not
altogether as harmonious as was de-
sired. 1t is safe to say, however, that
there will not be Farmers Alliance
party in. the field next year as a ma
tional party.

gives for leaving Galveston is made

railroad commission had nothing to do
with it. Heretofore, when a business

it cannot be attacked.

TEMPLE, BELL COUNTY, TEX, Nov. o.
On yesterday while SOME boys were hunt
ing west of the city they discovered large
snake lying by the roadside and killed it.
They observed that the snakes body, about
two feet from its head, was much larger
than at any other place, and in order to
ascertain the cause threw it into the wagon
and brought it to the city. On account of
its enormous size many stopped to look at
the snake, and some of the gentlemen at
last concluded to investigate the cause of
the bulge in its body, and cut it open and
found in it full-grown mule-eared rabbit
which the snake had swallowed 1t is pre-
sumed that the snake charmed the rab-
bit and in that way secured a meal, as it is
known that the chicken-snake to which va
riety this one belonged, cannot run fast
enough to overtake mule-ear, though this
one was more than seven feet long.

Around no large city in Texas, and
certainly around none outside of Texas,
are the contiguous lands held as cheap
as are the farm lands near Fort Worth.
Five miles from the city excellent un-
improved land can be had for SIS an
acre, and improved farms at So: while
further out, ten to fifteen miles away.
as good farming lands as are to be
found anywhere are offered at So to sl2
for unimproved and SIS to so for i'm

Tarrant county is so covered with
railroads that it is impossible to get
more than five or six miles from a rail
road line anywhere in the county.
Radiating from Fort Worth are eleven
different railways. They are dotted
with small towns and stations. Prob
ably three-fourths of the farms in this
county are within three miles of some
one of these railroads, and a great
many are so conveniently Situated be-
tween two roads as to use either at will.
There cannot be any lack Of transporta-
ton facilities to the farmer who lives
in Tarrant county, and his markets are
at his door, almost.
With ali OF these advantages,to attract
the enterprising farmer, there should
be no hard work needed to get Tarrant
county well settled and the pastures
and big farms cut up into small tracts
and cultivated.

The December issue OF the Popular

Thoughts turns to Christmas as soon as the
reader sees the cover, bright with orange
and gilt; the holly wreath and snow
crowned chapel alight for the festivities
that herald the happy morn when angels
sang, "Peac5 on earth and good will to
man" The colored plate for this month is
a Christmas Bride,'' the orange blossoms
in her hair, but a wreath of holly in her
hand. One looks in vain for the mistletoe;
perhaps she passed under it a twelvemonth
gone.
