Plenty In Texas.

No matter whether school keeps or
not, Texas for the next twelve-month
is going to have chunks Of bacon in
the pot and plenty Of hoe-cake on the
skillet.
1t is already assured that the corn
crop will be the biggest ever raised in
the State, whilst various localities are
Dragging on the large output of oats
and hay.
No wonder Texans are beginning to
talk of fattening their own cattle
critters instead of sending them to
Northern pastures to be made ready
for the butcher.
Farmers down there set out this
year to make at home everything
necessary for the sustenance of man
and beast, and they seem to have
come very near doing it. Any outside
luxuries that are needed can be bought
with Texas cotton, which makes not
much less than third Of the whole
American crop
Texas Democrats are hard-headed
race, and have their own notions on
finance, but they are not losing any
sleep about what fuanciers may do or
leave undone. They are solving the
most important end of the financial
problem with hoe and pillow and pro
ductive acres.

TEXAS is safe for Democracy next
year. No coalition of Republicans
and Populists can shake its columns
apart. 1t is already assured that the
corn crop of this year will be the big
gest eyer raised in the state, and that
is sufficient solution for the farmers
of the problem "to vote as you have
always voted"

A Liberal Education.

That man has a liberal education
who has been SO trained in youth that
his body is the ready servant Of his
will, and does with ease and pleasure
all the work that, as a mechanism, it
is capable of; whose intellect is a
clear, cold logic engine, with all its
parts of equal strength and in smooth
working order, ready, like a steam
engine to be turned to any kind of
work, and spin the gossamers as well
as forge the anchors of the mind;
whose mind is stored with a knowl-
edge of the great and fundamental
truths of one who, no stunted ascetic,
is full of life and fire, but whose pas
sions are trained to come to halt by
vigorous will, the servant of ten
der conscience; who has learned to
love all beauty, whether of nature or
of art, to hate all vileness, and to re-
spect others as himself. Such a one,
and no other, has had liberal educa-
tion.-Prof. Huxley.

The vote of a little over 100000
which the Populists rolled up in 1892
is likely to stand for many years as
the high-water mark of a third party s
poll. If the Populist party puts up a
candidate in 1896 its vote will prob
ably be less than half this figure.

THE AVERAGE TEMPERATURE
Greatest Rainfall in the State
Since Its Settlement
DETRIMENTAL TO CROPS
Heaviest Previous September Rains
in 1851
Los Angeles Had Excess Of Two Degrees
Over Normal Temperature
Last Week

SACRAMENTO, Sept. 16-The State A A.
ricultural society, in cooperation With
the United States weather bureau, james
A. Barwick, director, issues the following
summary for the past week.
The average ten perature for the week
ending Septsm Der 18th was as follows for
the places named: Fresno 6s Independ-
ence 70. Los Angeles 20, Red Bluff 50,
Sacramento SO, San Francisco 60. San
Luis Obispo &c and San Diego IS.
As compared with the normal tempera-
lures heat deficiency is reported at
Freson OF degrees; Los angeles All ex-
cess Of degrees, Red Bluff deficiency
of II degrees Sacramento a deficiency of
s degrees; San Francisco a deficiency of
degrees; while at San Diego normal con-
ditions prevail both as to temperature
and rain.
The rainfall during the week was as fol-
lows for the places named Fresno .06
of an inch, Independence a trac e, Los
Angeles trace. Red Bluff $50. Sacra-
manto 1.26, San Francisco 80 OF an
inch, and San Diego nothing. AS com
pared with the normal preci pitation tn ere
was an excess reported from Fresno of
.0l of an inch; Los Angeles a trace. Sac
rAmento liz, San Francisco IA, and no
excess at ssh Diego, where the normal
couditionspre vailed.
The week s weather in both the te m per-
ature and rainfall has been very dsteri-
mental tn the curing of grapes. drying of
prunes and ether fruits, and to hop pick
ing.
Owing to the timely warnings sent out
by Mr.. Hammond, the weather bureau
forecast officer at San Francisco, there
was very little If any damage occurring to
the raisin or fruit drying interests of
this state, while hops were somewhat but
not greatly damaged.
The rainfall of the week in Central
California has proven to be the greatest
amount that has over fallen during the
entire month of Septem Der, since IL was
settled by the Americans forty-six years
ago.
The heaviest September rains before
this occurred IN 1861, when atSaoramento
one inch was precipitated and at San
Francisco l.03 inches. This shows that
there was more rain in September, 1851,
at San Francisco than the present N onth,
which so far has only given 80 of an
inch, as against LOB inches in 1851, while
at Sacramento there has been this month
1.26 inches against l inch in 1851. show
ing an excess in Central and Northern
California ove- that of 1851.
There is no damage worth speaking of
as having occurred during the unprec-
dented rainfall of last week.
