The Irrigation Of Orchards.
1t has been demonstrated I'm California
that surface irrigation is not the be
method for orchards. The system isua-
tidy, wasteful and causes an uunecca-
sary growth of noxious weeds. 1t also
stultifes the tree growth, causing the
roots to form in a ball near the surface
An orchard designed for market fruits
should be irrigated by means of under
ground conduits or cement pipes
These are laid below the freezing
point and made Of sufficient dimensions
to carry the requisite quantity Of water
within three or four feet of the tree.
Small holes cut in the top of the Wp,s
and covered by boxes 10 prevent the
holes filling with earth allow the water
to percolate slowly out from the pipe

GROVER CLEVELAND.

And Cleveland gets the Texas dele
CATION to Chicago! The Lampasas
convention has acquitted itself well.
No grander character is before the
American people today than Grover
Cleveland. The esteem in which he
is held is shown by the fact that state
after state has instructed for him, not
withstanding his views on silver,
which are dramatically opposite those
of the very states that have instructed
for him. In the midst of bitterly
contested campaign, in which I'M
scrupulous politicians fought and
schemed for precedence, the eyes OF
the people have been naturally turned
to this man, who was too proud and
too honest to soil his hands with
trickery and fraud, even for the sake
ofsecuring position. "The presidency
is the peoples office" he said to
friend who urged him to become
candidate, and to that sentiment he
has adhered to this day. The presi-
dency is the peoples office, and not to
be fought for, or schemed for or bar
gained for. And the people have
shown that they know how to appre
ciate fearlessness and manliness.
Texas has said through her delegates
at Lampasas that the silver question
may take care of itself, but that she
wants as president of the United
States man who is above corruption,
and who will under all circumstances
do exactly what he believes to be
right.
The Austin weekly statesman. (Austin, Tex.) 1883-1898, 1892-06-16
SHOWING THEN UNDER.

The Corsicana Courier o bserver says
that at Georgetown the governor
shouted, ''snow the railroads and their
leaders 200 feet under ground!" This
is very fine sentiment, but is a trifle
unreasonable. The truth is that
every town in Texas which hasn't a
railroad wants one, and every town
which has one Is working
with all its might to get two or three
more. The very men in every part
of the state, who are shouting them
selves hoarse for Hogg because of his
"war on railroads" are busy between
the acts going around with a sub
scription list, making up the bonus
which is to secure another railroad.
II Governor Hogg really made the re-
mark credited to him by the
Courier Observer an explain
alton Is now in order.
When the railroads and their leaders
are HuOWcu bWO uhNOi
ground, Texas development will re-
ceive set back from which it will
take the state hundred years to re-
cover. The governor knows that rail-
roads and progress have been syn
onymous terms in this state. He is
too shrewd man to undervalue the
Importance of railroad building. THE
STATESMAN is persuaded that the
governors opposition to railroads is
and has been from the first vote
making scheme, and that when he
makes such speeches as the one cred
tied to him in this connection, he is
merely trying to corrall the guileless
farmer who tells him that there USED
to be more money in the country wher
the farmers did their milling in Dallas
from three hundred miles away. But
the governor has made a mistake
The railroads have come to stay, anc
not to be showed under, and the only
anxiety of Texas is to secure more
railroads.
The Austin weekly statesman. (Austin, Tex.) 1883-1898, 1892-06-16

primary meetings see fit to confer
either instructed or uninstructed.
6. Particular notice is given that the
different voting boxes named in this
call, at which primary meetings are
to be held, can not consolidate and
hold one common meeting, and claim
representation therefor. 10 be en-
titled to representation in tn
county convention, each primary must
be held at the time and place stated
in this call, and elect it's own dele
gates independent of any other meet
ing.
7. The rules and regulations pub
lished in ca ling the county conven-
tion that met on Saturday, June 4, are
herein referred to as being in force,
both directory and advisory.
1t is trusted that with the action of
the last county convention differences
of Democrats on questions there
settled, are now ended, and that
in that respect to issues raised
in forming that convention, the de-
mocracy of the county will select del
gates to the convention who will look
closely to the interests and harmoni-
cation of the party by their action in
the county convention. 1t is this con-
vention that will have our local affairs
particularly for its consideration and
the democracy should now let past
differences be laid aside and act as
one common party for our local inter-
ests, and nominate men for office to
whom they can with pride point as
honest and capable.
s. G. SNEED,
Chairman Democratic executive COM
mittee, Travis county.
The Austin weekly statesman. (Austin, Tex.) 1883-1898, 1892-06-16

it. There are many questions to be de-
cided by the next legislature of
almost infinite importance to the peo-
pie of this state, and the people of
this county should know how the
candidates for these positions intend
to use the trust if it is given them.
They should be expected to declare
themselves, publicly, and without
equivocation upon these important
subjects. One other caution ought to
be observed-the Democrats should
select men who are purely Demo-
cratic, those who love Democracy for
the principles it upholds and not the
offices which it parcels out, those who
will be above compromise with any
party or any clique, those who will not
only .endeavor to secure their own
election, but will work for
the success of the whole
ticket, those who are not afraid to carry
the war into the confines of the enemy
if it should become necessary. THE
STATESMAN, therefore, urges upon all
the voters of the county and city to
attend the speaking Thursday night
and Judge of the candidates. 1t is
duty you owe to the candidates, 1t is
a duty you owe to your county and
your state, and you should not allow
that duty to go unperformed.
