1T SHOULD BE TAUGHT.

Mr.. J. D. Scruggs, county Judge Of
Menard county, makes a suggestion in
a letter to The GAZETTE that's worthy
of the attention of the state Lawmakers.
He asks:
Why is the Spanish system of land meas
urement not taught in our public schoolsl
Texas history is taught, and should be
should not the youth of the country learn
the land measure of his native soill We
think so. II is true this system does not
appear in the arithmetic used in our public
schools, nor is the word .'varar given by
Webster if so, we failed to find it, and it
is further true, that it is rarely a school
teacher is found who understands the
method, yet it should be learned by them
aud taught. This latter assertion may seem
wide, but An investigation will prove it.
and further. that it (the method) is poorly

SENATOR DANIEL OF Virginia is
merciless in his criticism of the New
York boilers in saying that when Hill,
as governor, was helping the South to
fight the force bill and was fighting in
his own state for the retirement of one
of the force-bill senators, these gentry
of Wall street, led by Mr.. Cleyeland's
secretary OF the treasury, c. S. Fair
child, were leagned with the Republic
ans of New York to destroy the citadel
of the Democracy OF that state, and to
re-elect 4 force-bill senator. The truth
is always merciless if the deed be unde-
SCI rinC mercy.

vites him to come down from his pull
pit, the towards fortress" This rash
man is probably not aware that Sam

THE CONGRESSIONAL REAPPoErloN-


The report agreed upon Dy the
joint committee of the two houses
for congressional re-division of the
state throws no twoof the present dele
cation in congress in the same district.
The seven larger cities of the state,
Galveston, Houston, Dallas. Fort
Worth, San Antonio, Austin and Waco
are separated, and four districts touch
upon the coast instead of two, as at
present.
The population basis of re-division is
172.2SS. Strangely enough the largest
population under reapportionment is
given to the extreme western and
northwestern district, which may rea-
sonably be expected to show a larger
increase in population than any other
section of the state during the next
decade. The smallest district in popu-
lation is in a thickly settled portion of
the state.
The population of the several dis
tricts is as follows, the largest city be-
ing given to show location:
First (Houston) 15S, 967.
Second (Palestine) 1876, S07.
Third (Marshall) 127, 237.
Fourth Paris 1896.
Fifth (Shermanl 1885, $50.
Sixth Dallas 1S9, 800.
Seventh Waco 166, PA.
Eighth fort WORTH 167, $50.
Ninth (Austin) Isl, 347.
Tenth (Galveston] IT'S, O92.
Eleventh Corpus Christi) 165, sos.
Twelfth (San Antonio) 130,570.
Thirteenth (Abilene) 199, 431.
AS Congressman Stewart, Lanham
and Mills are not candidates for re-elec-
ton, they have no personal concern in
the Encouragement. Mr.. Long, in the
Second district loses two counties and
gains eleven. The most important
change in the Third is the transfer of
Hunt to the Fifth, change which
Congressman Kilgore will not lament,
and which may add to the number OF
statesmen Mr.. Bailey will have to
oppose in the future.
Mr.. Culberson's domains in the
Fourth are altered but little. The
Fifth drops its Western counties,
with the exception OF Montague, and
adds Hunt The Sixth swaps Tarrant |
for Navarro. The Seventh comprises
only SIX counties and promises inter-
contests between the sons of |
and OF Bell. The Eighth runs
to the Southwest from Tarrant. The
Ninth is merely contraction of Mr.. |
Savers present district. The Tenth
is the Galveston district and takes in
Moore OF Fayette. The
Eleventh gives Mr.. Grain easy head
way in southwestern territory with
not so much antagonistic coast terri
tory.
The Twelfth runs from San Antonio
to Ell Paso and accumulates but 1901
people on the way. The Thirteenth is
the largest district in territory and
extending from the Neutral
Strip to the Texas and Pacific railway
and including nearly all of what may
be termed Northwestern
Taxas

THE argument in behalf of Cleveland
that his supporters will knife Hill if he
is nominated, but that Hill and Tam
many would Loyalty support Cleveland,
because they are machine" Democrats,
is peculiar argument from the libelers
who charge that Hill sacrificed Cleve-
land in 1883, and yet the mugwump
press is full of it. It goes to show that
to be liar does not OF necessity pre-
vent one from being fool.

Mr., sWATTERsoN is one of the most
ardent of hero-worshippers, and urged
the nomination of Cleveland until New
York declared for Hill; then he de-
clared it to be folly to fly in the face Of
New York and began to advocate the
selection of a Western man. Now the
other hero-worshippers are berating
Watterson. 1t is great crime in this
country not to believe that one man is
its only hope.

THE report of Consul Merrill upon
Palestine in 1891 develops the interest
ing fact that the builders of the rail-
ueaBd between Jerusalem and Jaffa paid
$4,000 for seven acres of land three
fourths of mile from the sacred city
to use for terminal purposes. If land
that far from Jerusalem is worth S342S
an acre, there is no occasion for town
at dealers in Texas to be discouraged.

Mr.. Gladstone has been ascending Snowdon
as the guest of Sir E. Watkin. to whom the
mountain now belongs, and en- route delivered
on Monday and Tuesday two little speeches to
applauding crowds. Their drift was to com.
pIlment Wales for returning twenty sight
ella tstonians out of thirty, to reward tina. de
votion by approving the Welsh desire for Dis.
establishment and lower rents. and 10 warn
Welshmen that they must first GET Ireland
out Of the way by conceding Home rule.
They must combine the virtues Of "ceaseless
energy and reasonable patience H., TOLL
them to quicken their Nympsthies for IreIrd
by reading the history of Wales. and SO under
standing in what condition their country was
kept until the accession of the Tudor House.
which, he implied, abolished her expressions:
but which, we may remark, did not grant
Home rule. He sweetened his speech bv la
Wished and repeated praises Of Welsh music.
which, by itself, he said, proved that
Wales had q separate nationality remark
we commend to the Scotch Hiehlanders.
They also must make a nation, for have they
not the b~agpipss, which used Sc to delight
Charles Keene? We have said enough Of the
speeches elsewhere. but must add here that
the journey yielded one uncomfortable omen.
Mr.. Gladstone, though he displayed both "a
c~easeless energy and a reasonable patience.
failed to ascend Snowdon. The noun tain he
had set himself to climb was too much wrap
ped in mist.
