ness before the senate was resolution
from Mr.. Stephens declaring that as the
state was already fairly apportioned in judi
clal districts. and as any legislature has the
right and has been exercising it of making

solving that this matter be deferred until
next session of the next legislature, and
such special acts passed as imperatively
needed.
Mr. Townsend said that there was no
time better suited for this apportionment
than now, as all incumbent judges would
hold Office until the next general election,
and if this matter was deferred until, the
next session forty judges would be dis
turbed after only few months of service,
they being elected in November.
Mr.. johnson urged the reference of the
resolution to a committee. Resolution re-
ferred.
7 Mr.. Zary moved that the motion be re-
ferred to the committee on judicial dis
tricts.
Mr.. Stephens said that this would pre-
vent his object, that of stopping all waste
of time, and urged that the motion be acted
upon at once.

HORTICULTURE, tropic and semi
tropic fruits and nuts furnishes subject
matter tor circular ISL of the census
bulletins. While much Of the space is
given to statements relative to the
fruits and nuts of California and
Florida, Texas is not left out in the
report, but has total acreage of trees,
bearing and non-bearing, of 2080 acres.
OF this area POOP are in pecan, seventy
one in figs and two in orange. Of the
number of bearing trees in this state
there are 26,575, thus divided: Figs,
2555; kaki, 313; orange, u. Of nom
bearing trees, a large per cent having
been planted within the last four or
FIVE years, there are 81, 968-fgs, 6533;
kaki, 802; orange, 1874; pecan, 6O,449.
It is probable that these figures are
only approximate, and that the past
and present year will show large in
crease, particularly in pecan planting,
as the culture of this nut is now at
tracing much attention. It is very
probable that before many years Texas
will rival Mississippi and Louisiana in
the cultivation of orange and pecans.

THE SONG OF THE MONEY SIREN.


1t is not strange that Massachusetts
should put up the plea that free silver
platform would endanger Democratic
success in the presidential election,
because Massachusetts is bound hand
and foot by the money changers, and
at any cost, would defeat the move to
enlarge the circulating medium Of the
country. It is strange, however, that
member of the Texas legislature
could be found to plead for the retire
ment Of the financial question on the
ground that it is likely to endanger
Democratic success this year.
The man who will reflect for three
minutes must perceive that such a
suggestion originated with those who
for selfish purpose would make of the
Democratic party the same subser-
Went tool Of the money power that it
now has in the party of Harrison, Quay
and Chandler. In that event, either
way the election goes, the gold pluto
Gratis are safe. Their influence and
their money will go with the Republi-
can cause, because they realize that it
is but an uncertain hold they have on
the Democratic party. Its masses are
likely to rise up at any moment and
repudiate the cowardly policy of the
leaders who would disown one of its
historic. principles. They understand
AS well as those same leaders-that
there is something in the financial
question, that no matter how cheap
the necessaries of life may become
through the operations of a Democratic
tariff, the relief would still be made
quate if the money lords of the nation
continue to contract the circulating
medium at will.
The masses know as well as the lead
ers that because of the approaching
maturity of the government bonds the
financial question is rapidly approach
ing crisis, and that the purpose of the
money power in seeking to divert them
from the money issue in this campaign
is to keep the eye of the public off
manipulations which are intended to
fasten present monetary conditions
upon the country for another quarter
of century.
They demonetized silver by strate-
gem and fraud. The country has now
walked up to the enormity of that
crime, and the effort is to put it to
sleep again, in order that the
results of the crime may be made per-
petual.
The people understand these things.
They understood them when they
elected a congress, two-thirds of which
is progressively for free silver. Does
any one imagine that the people did
not know when they chose these repre-
that they were for fnan-
cial reform?
If the party is true to its principles,
as Jackson was courageous
in fighting the money power, it will
win, but if it listens to the siren.song
Of the money changers, it will earn
their contempt for its pains, and meet
a deserved defeat at the polls.
