TIE LUMBER INTERESTS.

The Mississippi Valley Lumberman,
the organ of the lumber interests, pub
lished at Minneapolis, discussing the
present condition OF the lumber inter
ests in the various milling districts of
the country, has to complain, as other
industries have, of the general business
depression and restricted lumber mar
llet. The mills in the Northwest have,
it seems, suffered less than elsewhere
for the reason that their output is the
more desirable white pine, and because
they had some time ago gone through
the sweating process which always
attends the development of the lumber
business in new districts. They have
learned how to gauge the market and
adapt the supply to the demand. In
other words, they have learned to be-
ware of overproduction. During the
year ended it seems, however, that
while production was reduced 435, 1884,
$50 feet the actual decrease in stocks
was only 1874, 689,O31 feet. The fact that
decrease failed to keep pace with re-
stricted production is attributed to the
stringency caused during the first half
of the year by the Barring collapse re-
sulting in weakened market. Pru-
dent business management has main
tanned the lumber interests of the
upper Mississippi region in a healthy
condition throughout the panic.
1t is far otherwise on the Pacific
coast, whence come the loudest COM
plants. Lumber is being sold at cost
or less, and the cry for lower freight
rates is continual, although it is
claimed that in places the roads are
hauling it at loss. The trouble out
there is overproduction-that and moth
ing else. Mills were established to
meet boom markets. New towns
sprang up like mushrooms, and the
sites were doomed chiefly by means of
big saw mills and lumber yards, which
always make an imposing appearance.
The period of activity was succeeded
by the inevitable reaction, and the
sweating process that is now purging
the industry OF mischief breeding hui
mors. Mushroom towns are sinking
into the earth and boom mills are
drifting to the scrap-iron heaps. Dur
ing the past year the mills in Texas
have been paying the usual penalty of
overproduction, and have felt the ex-
hausting effects of a good sweat. AS
there was less of the boom business in
their development Of the lumber inter-
est than on the Pacific coast, so have
they suffered less. The lesson had to
be learned, and the bitter experience
of newiudustries endured. Henceforth,
perhaps, they will get on more pros
perously, because they have learned
the extent and character of their
market, and know how to adapt the
supply to the demand.

Iowa. uDon which he was elected:

IT is claimed that arrangements
have been made with the Alliance
leaders for call by the Alliance upon
Judge Clark to become a candidate for
governor. AS the judge has many
times declared against railroad COM
mission and in his Denton speech in
dorsed the national bank system, and
belittled free coinage, it is hardly
probable that the Alliance membership
can be manipulated to swallow such
platform. Those on the inside claim
that leaders have promised to have the
Alliance membership at the Dallas
meeting make the call. THE GAZETTE
doesn't believe such an agreement has
been made, or that the goods could be
delivered.

TEXAS PRESS OPINIONS.
Bugaboo Politics In Texas.


Mr.. Mills 'fool friends" have been guilty
of more than one idiotic step since the in
auguration of the possible senatorial cam
paign at the possible extra session.
They have taken up some of his own IN
fortunate utterances and given them that
frequent repetition which many slips of the
tongue can not bear.
To his best friends and admirers these
seemed uncalled for and unhappy on the
part of Mr. Mills. They were better left
unsaid. Nevertheless he, unfortunately,
made them and they should have been ac-
credited to the time and place and then left
alone.
One of these was that Tammany had
stabbed him and was his eternal enemy.
This has been repeated TO the echo by these
same friends until the poor old Tammany
bugaboo has been transferred to Texas and
the coming senatorial race. Now from the
house tops they are screaming: Look out
for the tiger - They intend it seems, to
pursue campaign upon the regulation plan
of bugaboo politics.

AGAINST 1I1NHooD SUFFRAGE


A Chicago minister denounced man
hood suffrage in his sermon last Sun
day. The test of voting should be
this, said he: ''There is the consti-
tuition of the United States, can you
read it?n
"There are the ten commandments,
can you read them?"
There is a sentence, can you parse
it,"
1t is needless to say that if every
man who desired to vote should first
analyze and parse a sentence as plain
as ''Down went McGinty" some of our
lawmakers and strongest pillars in the
church and state would be completely
DISTINGUISHED. A knowledge of the
rules of Lindley Murray has never
been considered an essential for the
man who would get on in the world,
accumulate fortune or gain political
preferment, why should it be so in
voting? Is it supposed that none but
gTammarians, pedagogues and stilted
photographers are qualified TO make
laws for us and administer public af
fairs? Well, hardly. Neither do we
care to foist upon ourselves an aristoc-
racy Of grammarians as long as ''read
ing and writing come by nature" and
the average man who never saw inside
of a grammar can vote as intelligently
on most questions as the bibliophile or
the school master.

The trouble with Massachusetts,
Democrats is, they want the earth.
Under the Mills bill, the South and
West agreed to give up all their pro-
lection on wool, hides and other raw
material and to give the Eastern
nabobs free olives, olive oil, altar of
roses and other luxuries ad in
finitum, only asking in return a re-
duction in the tax on wooden goods,
blankets, cotton goods, and few other
necessaries of like character. AIassa-
chusetts rejected the compromise, and
now threatens a force bill if we demand
the free coinage of silver. The South
and West will never offer again
so liberal a compromise tariff bill, and
they cannot be bulldozed into the
abandonment of free silver. This is
a prediction.

THERE are, as we learn from a rail
way authority, $4,000 freight cars
being built at present in the various
car shops of the country. The amount
Of lumber necessary for each car is
5000 feet, and OF iron $4,000 pounds,
making total for the 5000 cars of
125,000,000 feet of lumber and 175, 600
tons of iron: From these figures one
can get a general idea of the
astonishingly large amount of both
lumber and iron consumed in various
ways by the railroads OF the country.
The mills of Southeast Texas have an
enormous output, fully fifty per cent
of which, as testified by their owners
before the railroad commission, is sold
and delivered to the railroads in Texas.

fight in Louisiana is the withdrawal of
the proposal of the lottery to pay
81, $50, 600 year for the perpetuation

unfolding the law which establishes a

suppression of lotteries. It is probable
that one of the Democratic state tickets
