Land in Texas.

The extent OF territory In Texas is
not easily realized. When the State
was admitted into the Union 1t granted
AZ, 943, 800 acres for public education,
$780, 100 for railroads, 5,073,2S0 for
river improvement, and 5l4,56O for ir-
rigating purposes. Under special acts
of the Legislature the educational
lands are being classified and placed on
the market for sale. No purchaser can
buy less than 80 or more than GAO
acres. The price is 81, So and IS per
acre, according to the sort OF land.
The purchaser must pay down ne.
fort!eth of the price of the land in the
beginning, and one-fortieth every year
with interest at 5 per cent. II he fails
to make his annual payment he for
feits his right to the land and loses all
previous payments. He is also bound
TO live for three years on the land pur-
chased. Some OF the lands thus sold
are found in nearly all the counties Of
the State. The County Clerk is re-
CURED to hold ready for public inspec-
ton q map of the lands for sale, with
tho price of each tract written down.
Every facility Is rendered by the State
to the intending purcha ser, since the
government is most anxious to have
the lands settled OF andcultivated.

ton. Congress is just q little hard of
hearing, but President Cleveland is
not, and it is perfectly safe to assume
that when Massachusetts, and Ohio
spoke, the President heard them and
understood just what they said.
Mr.. Cleveland understands by this
time that the United States is not go
ing to indulge in any free trade non
sense. Now he has a splendid opportuni-
ty toget on the winning side of the tariff
question. He has shown that he has
great influence with his party and
that he can down a large portion of it
when he cannot make it look happy
while he is compelling it to go his
way. Let him say to Congress that the
tariff must remain on a business basis.
If he will do this he will prove himself
a patriot al well a, a statesman

The Democracy Must Go.

In the last electoral college Grover
Cleveland received 276 votes, Harrison
l45, and General Weaver 23. In the
first general election since the triumph
Of the Democracy the Republicans
have not only held every State they
carried one year ago, but they have
captured enough States that voted for
Cleveland and Stevenson to increase
| the electoral vote from 145 to POI. In
| this list Indiana is not counted, and a
month ago Indianapolis showed a SUI
ficiently large gain to have nearly
swept that State into the Republican
column.
This is a pretty fair record for the
Republican party, with the opposition
in power ard in position to strengthen
itself by means Of patronage and other
methods only practiced in Democratic
politics. 1t shows that the people of
this country have no use for the Demo-
cratic party. Once in a great while it
is given a chance to carry out its prom
ises to the voters, but the failure to do
anything is SO pronounced, its efforts to
back and fill and sauirm Oh every pub
lie que ,tion is 70 imbecile, that 10 time
is lest in kicking it out Of place as soon
as an opportunity is afforded. The
people have given the Democratic
party notice of ejectment from the
White House. 1t will be carried out
in Sc, and the belongings of the tenant
sold to the highest bidder to pay court
expenses.

ONWARD.

Sometimes when the growing darkness
Al the close o day,
To the stress Of daily labor,
Brings q moments stay.
All at oncs the mind will wander
Back to other years,
See, 40 in apanorama,
Youthful hopes and fesrs.
Once again upon the threshold
OF our HE We stand,
Aud discern the future glowing
Like the Promised Land.
And the hopes Of early manhood
Putting forth their leaf,
Green 40 are the leaves in Spiiugtima.
And their life rs b,ief.
With . pang do We remember
That We meant to be,
In the battlefield . hero,
Crowned with victory.
But, discredited and beaten.
Have been forced to yield:
Or at best are barely able
Still to keep the field.
On our brow no crown Of laurel
Tells Of victory won;
Not for us the song Of triumph
When the day is done.
Other men have reaped the harvest
That We thought to reap;
Other men have gained the summit
Of the mountain steep.
And our hearts are bowed with sorrow,
Casing on that scene,
For q moment, as we picture
all that might have been.
For q moment! Then manhood
Puts the sorrow by,
Crushes down again the heart throb,
Quslls the rising sigh.
And once more We set our faces
etcrnly toward the front,
Brace again u nerves and sinews
For the battles brunt.
Onward! With success or failure,
We have nanght to do.
Ours to do our duty nobly
All fe's journey through.
And, although success would cheer US.
As we onward pod,
We can bear the doom Of failure,
By the help Of God.

Our Criminals and Paupers.

OWE OCl1I1lH01D anu
OF the convicts in our penitentiarles
46 per cent. are Of native parentage,
while So per cent. are of foreign birth
and parentage: or, in other words,
while persons of foreign birth and par
entage furnish a little more than one
third of the total white population of
the country, they furnish more than
half of the criminals.
OF the paupers in almshouses Al per
cent. are of native parentage, and SO
per cent. Of foreign birth or parentage.
Again it will be noticed that while per-
sons of foreign birth or parentage fur
nish only one-third Of the population,
they supply nearly two-thirds of the
paupers in almshouses. In this last
case, however, 1t is proper to go a lit
tie more into detail. OF the SO per
cent. Of paupers of foreign birth or
parentage only 8 per cent. are born in
this country, while 81 per cent. r for
etgn-born. These last figures are
startling. The foreign-born consti-
tute only II per cent. of our total white
populatfon-ln round numbers about q
sixth-and yet they furnish over half
Of all the paupers in almshouses
throughout the country. This fact Of
itself certainly shows that an immigra-
tion which supplies more than half the
inmates of our almshouses might, to
say the least, be sifted with great adj
vantage.

The COWS seek the rough and broken
country when about to bring forth
taeir young and it is in the mountains
where the calves are found by the COW.
boys. The first view the cali has Of a
human being is when q cowboy comes
riding along with lassO and branding
iron. Away the calf dashes in terror,
Just as it would do at the sight of q
bear or panther. Around the noun.
tain side, across gullies, over rocks and
fallen trees the calf flies. With clatter
and whoop the cowboy gallops up
alongside, the great loop Of his lasso
whirls through the air and drops over
the head of the calf and in an instant
the well-trained pony stops s%tfff-legged
firm as o rock. A jump or two OF
three and the moose grips the neck Of
the calf, the little body Is hurled into
the air by its OWL momentum and
down it comes, the jagged points Of the
broken lava piercing its sides as II
lands, and there it lies helpless. In q
moment the cowboy Is down and with
stout thongs has bound its feet, and
that is called roping q calf, the popu.
lar pastime of the range holidays.
Then with deliberation the cowboy
builds a fire and puts his brandingi iron
into It. The branding iron is as much
like q soldering iron as anything ia
miliar to Eastern eyes. While he
waits for the iron to heat he goes to
the calf and with his knife puts
his mark on its ears-crops the
end from one ear and splits the
other, for instance, that being the ear
mark of the S U ranch. Then. when
the iron is soaring hot, he takes il
from the fire, and, going to the bleat.
ing calf as it lies on its bed of pointed
rocks, he writes on it's side with that
red-hot iron the letters of the brand
scrawls the S q or the M T K or what
not in huge letters that cover the space
from shoulder to hip. Then he re.
moves the lasso and thongs and lets the
beast go. But it. does not always go.
Many q time a rib or leg is broken. No
matter, let it lie. Better luck next
time.
