Fighting men always have the sym
pathy Of all honest souls; but the Mill
bank-De Morny duel is likely to excite
ridicule rather than sympathy for
either side. There is, of course, nothing
ludicrous in standing up to be shot at;
but there is much that is, amusing in
the notion of two such fellows as these
undertaking to set the pace in affairs
of honor.

ABOUT THE PANHANDLE.
The Boomers Talk About Its Glory, and
Wind Up ON Politics.

Inc boomers 1alk ABOUT IT'S O1OEyS
Wind Up on Politics
Among yesterdays arrivals from the
Panhandle, were Messrs. J. Z. Smith of
Potter and H. Bedford of Castro counties.
two well informed men of that section, and
enthusiastic over the great Developments
and rapid strides the Panhandle has made
the past year.
In conversation with a GAZETTE repre-
sentative, Mr.. Smith, who is one OF the
largest merchants of Amarillo, said:
Immigration IS simply enormous; they
are pouring into that section Of the state
from ali points, but the largest number
from any particular state are from Ten
nessee. aud almost without exception they
are weIl-to-do farmers, and bring with them
their horses, mules aud blooded mich cows.
They buy, or pre-empt their lands and go
right to farming. Many raise wheat crop
the first year that will pay for their lands.
The Panhandle, you see, is being foI about
by the farmers in other states, and they
don't wait long before travelling our way.
You know, young man, that the largest
body OF agricultural land, solid, / mean,
in the world, is the Panhan-
die of Texasl Well, it is, and
when you couple that fact with the price
of that land, 81. 20 to So per acre, you can
more readily comprehend why the Pan
handle is so rapidly developing and filing
up with solid people. Our town, Amarillo,
is next to Fort Worth and the largest cat
tie shipping point in the world. We have
recently incorporated, opened another ma
tioral bank. aud have four daily passenger
trains to accommodate the travel
Turn Texas loose" said Mr.. Bedford,
sand the Panhandle will in few years
supply every mouth in the Union with food,
and have enough left to feed starving

stab the commission every chance
he has Hogg and Clark are
both good men, but Texas never was so
prosperous as when under Sui Ross adj
ministration.
Mr. Observation-Disclosures some of the. best
timber in Texas that never has had a po
liticaI AK thrown into the bark, and the
people are beginning TO look for the new
timber There's an old oak in the forests
of Fort Worth, all hoary and knotty
with Democracy and blurred and
stained with the faint of Confederacy,
that may be hewn down and cast into the
political flames. If so, and it's very likely
the glare win be seen from the pineries of
East Texas to TexIine and from Velasco to
Ell Paso.''
Excuse me, gentlemen, that's politics,

It has been the opinion of many, but GER
tainly an erroneous one, however, that very
little public improvements were being made
in the city. Why this opinion should have
gained prevail ence, is not thoroughly con-
pretended.
Yesterday a reporter for THE GAZETTE
made it his duty to drive over the city to
see if such belief had anything like SUBJ
stantial grounds, but the many evidences of
thrift noticeable in nearly every ward
should certainly put to rest all doubling
