That live and lively state of Texas
is taking the lead in heading off u
plus cotton production. The Texas
Acreage association meets n con-
siders what will be the best farm
products for agriculturists to go into
at different times and in different
parts of the state. At a late meeting
in Austin a committee was formed of
one member from each congressional
district to draft an address TO Texas
farmers recommending them to raise
less cotton. but not more of that
other indigenous American product
named by General Butler in one OF
his historic sayings. On the contrary,
they were advised to replace the
diminished cotton acreage by Varied
farm products. Thus the price OF
cotton would be maintained, while
the Texas farmer would be raising
upon his own soil many OF the high
priced crops for which he has been
accustomed TO exchange his low
priced cotton. If the whole south
would do this, it would increase her
agricultural wealth greatly.

ton OF the Nevada exhibit 1t contains

the Nevada exhibit. Referring to the
article the Age Gays editorially The Age
has no apology to make for the conspicu-
GUS attention devoted to Nevada in the
pages Of this number. Nevada repre-
sents one extreme of existing conditions
in the arid region. Here is State OF
vast extent, filled with all the raw ma
terials OF wealth, with millions OF acres
Of fertile lands and ample water resources
for their reclamation. Some people are
so obtuse as TO imagine there is no future
for such State. The exhibit at the
Worlds FAIR proves how far wrong this
opinion is. Nevada has been very back.

population will inevitably find an outlet
there at some period in the future. 1t is
to be hoped that the Worlds Fair will
have favorable effect upon the fortunes
of Nevada. It is with the desire OF
bringing this about that the Age takes
this opportunity 10 review the hopeful
aspects Of the State and urge its claims
upon investors and homeseskers.

People have been warned against
carrying away samples Of grain from

exhibit weevils in abundance have
been found. This knocks out the re-

Lieutenant Commander Taussig, who
is In charge of the naval exhibit at
Chicago, is In Washington. He called
at the navy department and had talk
with Secretary Herbsr; and other off,
Gals as to the disposition of the xhibit
after the close of the fair. The depart
ment is inclined to turn the model
battleship Illinois over to the city for
the use OF the naval reserve, and this
action will probably be taken. The
guns, furnishings, etc., loaued by the
department as part of the exhibit
will be returned here, and the city will
of course be expected to fit out the
imitation cruiser as it now stands.
There is a case of queer tropical
fruits in the Costa Rica building. To
be sure, they are only wax limitations
of the delicious things which are
abundant in that little country where
the soil is so fertile that it is cultivated
from sea to mountain, and where sugar
cane Is grown as food for cattle. Those
who have never seen the the original
Gan form very good idea Of the
appearance of southern fruits from this
exhibit. There are fine sticks OF sugar
cane here; mangoes, the luscious,
6brous fruit SO plentiful in the West
Indies, and which some one ass said
must be only eaten in the bath. owing
to the impossibility OF separating the
juicy meat from the stone; the pome-
granate, the prettiest although not the
incest of all fruits, with its rich, red
seeds, each wrapped in thin tissue
covering; the oherrymoya, with its
numberless black seeds and creamy
interior; the brown NANNY apple. with
its peculiar favor, fondness for which

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.
WAsH1Norox. October 0. 1893.

WASHINGTON, October 8, 1893.
LET them do as wish them to do, or
go home,h is the remarkable language
Mr.. Cleveland is reported to have used
in speaking of the Senate. The test OF
physical endurance which is to begin in
the Senate on Wednesday of this week
is intended to force vote on the repeal
bill. At least that is the impression that
Senator Voorhees, wishes the public to
get OF it. But it's real purpose is to
demonstrate to Mr. Cleveland the i'm.
possibility of forcing vote and to get
him to listen to the advice of his cabinet
and many of the shrewdest Senators and
Representatives in his party and consent
to the adoption of a compromise amend.
ment that will secure the votes OF three.
fourths of the Senators. In holding
continuous session the unconditional re-
peal Senators play their last trump card;
they will have to keep forty.on Senators
continuously on the floor, as the oppo.
nents Of unconditional appeal have given
notice that they will only keep two
Senators on the floor at time-one to
speak and one to watch others-thus
allowing the rest of their force to rest.
The session which will begin Wednesday
at eleven a. m. may possibly be kept up
for as long period as forty eight hours,
but it will surprise no one here if it
fizzles out before daylight on Thursday
morning. for lack of a quorum. The
twenty. Republican Senators who are
counted for unconditional repeal nave
adopted no programme. but it is believed
that few Of them will feel it incumbent
upon themselves to endanger their health
by remaining in their seats all night,
particularly when they know that moth.
ing can thereby be accomplished.
Opinion differs a. 70 what will be done
after it has been shown that vote
cannot be forced by continuous session
vi tuo oeuhtc' II Mr. NioNeiauu . iuta
be followed, Congress will at once ad.
journ, not take a recess, he having stated
his belief that il would be better for
Congress to adjourn until the beginning
Of tho regular session 10 December than
to take short recess. But the general
impression is that a compromise amend.
msnt will be adopted before next Satur.
day night, thus giving Mr.. Cleveland an
opportunity to carry out his implied
threat to veto anything other than I'M
conditional repeal that might be sent to
him.
Senator PETERS latest bill is the king
pin Of all that have gone before 10 the
long line Of absurd propositions, and it is
only fair to Mr.. PETER to say that he
does not father this monstrosity, hut
introduces it ''by request" The bill
starts by directing the coinage Of oil the
gold aud silver now in the Treasury and
the coinage Of all Of either that shall be
offered until the aggregate Of $4,000,
900, 900 shall be reached. But that i,

those Senators and Representatives who
show hy the nature of the bills they in
troduce their lack Of even the rudiments
of that science.
Quite a number of Democratic Sena-
tors refuse to be bossed by Mr.. Cleveland
on the silver question, but the alscrity
with which some OF the same Senators
drop their own views about the advisa-
bility OF confirming the nomination OF
$50, 900 Van Allen to be Ambassador to
Italy and adopt those of ex-Secretary
Whitney, indicates that MIR. Whitney
knows how to boss the Democratic Sena.

ton for which it is clear to everybody
$50, 1000 was paid will stand out in history
as blot upon the fair name of the U. s.
Senate, and every Republican should be
glad that his party is responsible neither
for the nomination nor the confirmation.
The whole business is exclusively Demo
cratic.
