FELLOW CITIZENs-We are on the
threshold Of great and important political
struggle, and one which is fraught with
the greatest interest to every person within
the great commonwealth of Texas The
question which pevrades the mind of
thinking and observing citizens is whether
our state shall go forward in the race for
that prominence in the sisterhood of states,
to which she IS so justly entitled. or retro
grade as her history for the past Few years
has demonstrated. The settlement of this
momentous question is in the hands OF the
Democratic party. In peace as in war
there are always maneuvers for position,
but when maneu-ers are too late, when
cannons are thuLuering and musketry is
rafting, it is too late to swap positions. So
say to the enemy that their attempt to
foist the railway issue upon the voters OF
the state as this time is a bold and bare
faced fraud. The real / sc issue of the APP
preaching struggle is not the railroad COM
mission, but rather the acts of Governor
Hogg, as public official.
Having paid this compliment to the gov
ernor, JudgeClark proceeded to score the
chief executive. He had been accused of
having been recently converted from his
antagonism towards the state commission,
but stated that if the accussatiou was true
his conversion was not of recent date In
stances of conversion cere numerous IN
sacred history but even the suddenness with
which Saul or IarsaS was stricken blind
and dumb, and thus brought to a realiza-
ton of the iniquities of his past life, was a
slow proceeding compared with James S.
Hogg's lightning change of opinion on the
subject of railroad legislation
His friends make bold TO quote him as
authority on this subject. and have the
temerity to refer 10 the distinguished gen
tleman as friend Of the people in this
direction. Judge Clark denied the state
ment and defed any man in the state to
lay his finger on a single act of the gov
ernor's career which would substantiate the
claim. Great applause. Before his ele-
walton to his present exalted position, he
was recognized as a violent and outspoken
opponent of the commission. and when his
friends now charge me with similar con-
version / have but to hold HIM up to a dis
eliminating and thinking public as
shining example. Laughter An
other convert of whom the public
are hearing much, is the distinguished
chairman of the railroad commission. I
have watched his career for years, but he
shifts his position so often that despair
Of ever beng able to keep track Of him.
He was my preceptor From him Learned
the doctrine that the people had no rights
which the railroads were bound to respect,
and when the faith was confirmed within
me, he left me again. Laughter and ap-
plause.

JOHN S. ANDREWS,

were putting money in their own pockets

institutions as the Fort Worth packing
company. At the conclusion OF this speech

If magnificent and enthusiastic audi.
ence IS sufficient to inspire a speaker to
flights OF eloquence, surely Judge Clalk
must have felt as though he was indeed
master OF the situation yesterday after
noon. Greenwall's opera house was
crowded with Democrats who claim Fort
Worth as their home. Democrats from
abroad were there IL crowds, while visit
ing statesmen of more or less political
prominence, together with hundreds of the
delegates to the cattlemen's convention
were on hand to tender reception to the
gentleman from Waco
a large delegation of Mr.. Clark's admir-
erS came over from Dallas, and proceeded
to the opera house, where they took seats
and added 10 the members and the wells.
There were about $50 or 800 of them, but
they made noise enough for an army
Among those who occupied seats upon the
stage were the following: Mayor Smith,
Or. w. A. Adams, Hon. j. w. Springer, en-
member of the Illinois legislature, now a
resident OF Dallas; Morgan Jones, George
Loving. Hon. w. B. Crawford of Dallas,

ser w. @, Wooten, Newton 3. Lassiter,
Henry Exau of Dallas, Otis Eaton of Dali

seated Gen. w. L. Cabell, J. Morgan Wells
and Harry Tracy There was a fair repre-
sentation of the gentler sex, who were quite
as enthusiastic as the sterner portion of the
audience.
A feature of the event was the presence
Of man named George ]. Goldman, whose
voice IS truly something wonderful
and frightful to contemplate or
hear. What he does with his
whoop at night is a matter which the police
should Investigate, for if at liberty it might
with profit be leased as a fire alarm or fog
whistle.
When Judge Clark made his appearance
from the rear of the stage, he was in
stantly recognized, and received q royal
welcome. Advancing TO the front of the
stage, he was introduced by the Hon. Seth
Stewart and when the storm of applause
had subsidized, began his address, of which

Flax In the West.

Flax in the West is cultivated to-day
on virgin or new soil very successfully;
but it thrives better on soil that has been
well worked, titled and pulverized. The
seeds demand plenty of fertilizer, both
in the shape of we'll rotted, old manure
and commercial fertilizers. From four
hundred to six hundred pounds of min
eral fertilizers, consisting chiefly Of pot
ash and phosphoric acid, are applied to
the acre. The seed used is imported
from Europe, as this is considered bet
ter than the faxseed grown here. After
the planting the fax requires cultivation
and attention the same as any other
until it attains large, healthy growth,
when it can take care Of itself. 1t is
estimated that each acre ought to yield
seventy dollars worth of seed, and
about six hundred pounds of fiber. II
there is a market for the straw the fax
growers will have their profits nearly, il
not quite, doubled. Labor is also saved
by the new method of gathering the
straw, for the ordinary grass mower can
cut the plates and bundle them into
sheaths. Machinery, in fact, can per-
form nearly all of the work, from the
time the seeds are first planted until the
straw is converted into fbrous material
for wearing. Flax is so exhausting to
the soil that it should not be grown on
the same field oftener than two out of
every six or seven years, for repeating
the crop upon the same ground for a
number of years in succession will sure
ly injure the soil permanently. New
York Independent.
