The Austin weekly statesman. (Austin, Tex.) 1883-1898, 1893-10-19

1t is an evident fact, though not
generally known, that no little interest
is being developed in Southern Texas
in the culture of tobacco. Quite an
area has been planted this year, says
Clark Arnold in the Galveston News,
in Montgomery, Harris, Brazoria and
Nueces counties. Experiments on a
small scale nave also been made this
year in Galveston county. In an
article published in The News
a few days ago from the New
Orleans Picayune the idea is held
out that a large amount of Texas
raised tobacco is being marketed in
that city. The best price we have
heard of was As cents per pound. So
far as we have been able to learn, the
crop this year has averaged about 500
pounds to the acre, that is for the first
crop. The second or sucker" crop is
yet in the field and will doubtless be
safely housed before frost. Farmer of
Southern Texas, compare the above
figures with what you derive from an
acre of cotton, then compare three to
five acres of tobacco to the hand with
the number acres he can take careof in
cotton, and then remember the fact
that in nearly every year you can get
two crops of tobacco from one plant
ing, especially in the coast counties,
and then make up your minds which
will pay you best. We have handled
tobacco through all the varied chan
uels, from the seed to the manufact-
ured article, and we know whereof we
speak when we say tobacco can be
made the most profitable field crop in
Texas,

HA VENT WE OUTGROWN II?

Those who desire some action one
way or the other on the Sherman re-
peal bill are met with the bald, bold
assertion that the senate cannot force
action, that clotuIe is out of the ques-
ton, being barred by almost imme-
mortal CUSTOM, and that senatorial
courtesy and ability to talk indef-
nitely are the ruling elements in the
senate. The STATESMAN has great
respect for age, but only pity for dot
age. What was good for the United
States when only 20 or 80 states COM
posed the Union may not be 90 good
when those states number A, While
the senate may have been selfre-
specting body and body that did
the nation good service when
it had 40 or 60 senators, it
does not follow that under
the same rules senate of 88 men can
act wisely for the peoples interests.
There are these who contend, and
justly, that slow action on the part of
the senate is generally desirable to
counterbalance hasty action on the
part of the house, whose members
may come up fresh from a people who
have been swept by some sudden
and ill considered revolution in
thought. The system of checks and
balances implanted in our constitu-
tional form of government intended
this check of each branch of congress
upon the other. But this check was
to be one of reason and statesmanlike
conduct. It is hardly to be supposed
that the trainers of the constitution
imagined the time would ever come
when the senate wonld decide whether
it would stand in the way of the house,
by means of physical endurance
contest that would put to blush the
staying qualities of hundred round
prize ring bully. 1t is the business Of
each branch of congress to watch the
other-but also to act in concert like
reasoning men and statesmen. And
right now THE STATESMAN is ofthose
who very much doubt the wisdom Of
longer bowling down TO the inhibition
of clotare for CUSTOMS sake. The
veal of the people is very much more
to us than the woe of a fraEzled out
custom. If in the failure it is to be
understood that majority controls
in the house but a minority controls
in the senate, then the senate can
rock alone in it's inaninity. But il
the senate is to be a working power
in our nations affairs, the sooner il
gets out of the ruts of 100 years age
and into the progressive course of the
afternoon of the Nineteenth century
the better for the respect in which the
senate is to be held and the better fol
the United States.

Swords Into Plowshares.

The Columbian peace pillow has been
finished and adorns the hall of Column
bus Art Institute, Chicago, where the
various worlds congresses have been
held. 1t will be remembered that the
plowshare was made of the surplus
historic implements of warfare con-
tributed for the casting of new liber-
ty bell. When it was known that the
voluntary contributions of cherished
momentoes of past wars to be cast into
a new liberty bell had exceeded the
amount needed, an offer came from
Moline to turn the remainder OF tie
metal into a peace pillow in ful!nnllment
of the prophecy: And they shall beat
their swords into piowshares and their
spears into pruning hooks; nation
shall not lift up sword against nation;
neither shall they learn war any
more" The offer was accepted and
the pillow now becomes one Of
the permanent historic crea
tions of the spirit of the Co.
lumbar year. Two of the swords
beat into this plowshare
come from three children
of the same family with the statement
that their grandfathers were killed in
the civil war, one on the Union side
and the other on the Confederate.
They contributed these priceless relics
with the hope that little children
might not hereafter find themselves
without grandfathers as the result Of
war;" And thus this implement of the
tiller Of the soil, ennobling SYMBOL Of
honorable industry and the arts o.
peace typifies that time when the ma
tions of the world shall be united il
the parliament of man"
