Victoria farmers are going to try
their hands at the raising Of tobac-
CO instead of adding to the already
overcrowded warehouses an extra
supply of cotton. There are great
possibilities for such a crop in this
state and the climate insures an
article of the finest quality. There
is hardly a single direction in
which the agriculturist can turn
his efforts that the returns will not
be greater than in the raising Of
cotton under present conditions,
and the prospect for improvement
is not a whit encouraging. The
diversity Of crops is the only saliva
ton, and the easier that crop can
be reduced in bulk and weight for
purposes Of shipment the better.
Hence the profit Of marketing corn
in cattle and hogs, and Of sending
cotton out as manufactured cloth.
This is true economy.

A sensible suffrage bill is de-
manded from all quarters Of the
state at the hands Of the present
aggregation at Austin. That will
not come through the efforts Of the
present Legislature unless change
comes over the spirit Of its dream.
At present it seems only to care for
the tithes OF anise, mint and cumin
and will not have time for the
weightier matters Of good govern
ment.

The states on the borders OF that
terrorized Territory are growing
restless under the uncertainty that
fingers around them. The borders
Of these states are largely at the
mercy Of these marauders, who
virtually rule the Territory and
find within it a safe asylum when
pursued by the authorities Of the
contiguous states. The United
States government has duty to
perform in the preservation Of
peace and she has the material
forces to compel respect for law
and order. Only quibbler will
contend that the National govern
ment has no right to send troops
there and enforce law.

The open letter OF Governor Fish
back. Of Arkansas, to the clergy OF
Little Rock, anent some Of the
structures put upon his acts as
governor and his views as to the
social evil question, is one of the
most fearless, sensible and we'll ex-
pressed deliverances on that sub
ject that has ever been given by
any state executive. 1t Is broadly
human, dealing with existing and
recognized conditions Of society
and not with attempts at utopian
results, results that all the past
history OF legislation on such sub
jects show to have been beyond the
possibilities OF the case as presented.
1t is seldom that the pulpit gets
such a turning down from the
pews as this, and it is no wonder
that the clergy Of Little Rock an
nounce their intention Of leaving
that letter without any reply.
This can be accepted as an unwont-
ed evidence of good horse sense on
their part.

Fort Worth's idea for the semi
centennial OF the state takes, but
the location Of the same at the
Fort does not take.
Burrows Of Michigan is elected
to the Senate. Such changes from
House to Senate are not apt to add
ANYTHING to the luster Of the in
dividual thus promoted. Mills Is
a case In point.
The Memphis Avalanche is a
Democratic paper, but it says no
end OF things that sound for all
the world as though it was a Re-
publican journal. 1t has the cour-
age Of it's honest convictions.
The party partisanshlp that will
not admit Of a newspaper telling
things as they appear, to it Is so
perniciously active as to etfectuaily
prevent that paper from exerting
any healthy influence.
The testimony of the most i'm.
partial witnesses to the lawless-
ness and terrorism of the Terrific
ry is not to be gainsaid. The at.
tention OF the National authorities
is called to this disgrace in vain.

Rev. Sam Small is at his old
trade publishing a newspaper, but
true to his old pulpit instincts he
had to abuse some one and his pen
has scratched the cuticle on the
backs Of the Virginia state govern
ment so effeetually that he is COM
PEELED to stand suit for libel. II it
had been in Texas this would not
have occurred, as it is well known
here that neither OF the "Sams"
can libel any one.

California was in the Same

California was in the same con-
dition as Tennessee as to the cleo
ton Of governor, but there an
honest Interpretation and accept
ance Of the laws was adhered to
and the will of the people was car
ried into effect by the outgoing
governor and the legislature. Ten
nessee was not equally honest, and
upon her Democratic legislature
and her old governor rest the stig-
ma Of stealing the governorship
and thwarting the will of the PEG.
pie as expressed at the polls. 1t
will be a losing game.

II the Tillman wing Of the South
Carolina Democracy carry their
opposition so far as to drive the
conservative Democrats OF that
state into an alliance with the Re-
publicans it will be one OF the most
fortunate occurrences that could
possibly happen. That state is
hopelessly divided against itself
and its own interests are all in
peril, owing to the impossibility of
conservative Democrats making
head alone against the Tillman
forces. Any union Of the conserv.
alive forces Of the state against
such a combination cannot but
prove beneficial to the state.

No greater disrespect could be
shown to the retiring governor Of
the state than the manner in which
his elaborate and lengthy message
was received. There was not only
inattention, which under so severe
a strain of mediocre intellect was
to be expected, but there was
downright rudeness, the members
not paying the most ordinary
courtesy either to the readers Of
the instrument or to the document
itself. There is a lesson in this
whole matter that should be heed
ed. II it only result in cutting of
the waste of an outgoing admins
tration in this way it will not be
, amiss.

Hogg is no longer governor. 1t
was not his fault, only his misfor-
tune and that of the state, that he
was elected governor, and it is not
now manly to rub it in on him as
he retires from office the real sins
of his administration lie at the
door OF those who put him in
office, knowing him to be unequal
to its high requirements.

Tennessee has come down to a
square case OF steal. Her Demo-
cratic legislature declines to give
Governor elect Evans his certif-
cate of election and will proceed
in the guise Of an investigation to
count Turney in. There has been
no more open and barefaced fraud
committed since the day that a
Yankee deacon stole the meeting
house. II Turney and the state
Democracy can stand the obloquy
the Republicans and Evans can.
All such acts Of injustice return
sooner or later to roost at home.

The state legislature evidently
does not think it worth while to
get down to business until the new

would gain money and credit by
ending its administrative and

The recent message of the retired

MARKETS BY TELEGRAPH.
Chicago Ahan ee


 Chicago; Sept. 1S.-The strength which was noted in wheat yesterday did not end with that days session. Trading after hours was at an advance over the final official quotations, and when the market opened this, morning shorts were considerably worked over the stability of tone, and to their energetic buying prices were indebted for'=the further appreciation which took place today. The returning confidence in financial circles, due to the willingness of banks to deposit gold with the treasury in exchange for currency destroys. one of the most potent bear arguments and leaves the market responsive to direct news and 'statis- ties The posting of higher Liverpool and continental closing cables was the occasion of d second bulge in prices, the highest point of the day being attained at that time December wheat opened at 59hc, advanced to 6034 e. closing at 60lsc, 12sd1l2c higher than yesterday. Cash wheat was strong and from 112M2c higher than yesterday
 Corn derived benefit from the buoyancy of wheat. No trading that could be consid- cred significant or influential appeared. The markable feature, bupt gossip has it that a large short line has been quietly covered up without attracting much notice. The out put of corn continues to be the subject of comment. May corn opened at 29ss9291ac, advanced to 2954c, closing at 295sq29Ac, A@ 9sc higher than yesterday. Cash corn was firm at about 12c advance.
 Oats-The offerings were light, holders showing more confidence than of late The kind. May oats closed Ac higher than yes terday. Cash oats were Ac per bushel higher.
 Provsions-No business to speak of was transacted in products. Today's market was a lifeless one. The hog market ad- vanced little this morning and products, as in duty bound, opened a shade frmer, the strength afterward acting as a sustain ing power. October pork was 10c higher, October lard 71ac higher and October ribs 21sc higher.
 The domestic markets were quiet and firm.

Luxury.

It is strange that the authors who have written so much about luxury, whether they praise it satirically, or condemn it very seriously or merely inquire into its history and traditions, should never have been struck with the amount of discom- fort it entails. .In modern, as well as in ancient times, the same jealous pursuit of prodigality results in the same heavy bur den of undesirable possessions. The youth ful daughter of Marie Antoinette was al lowed, we are told, four pairs of shoes u week, and M,. Tafne, inveighing bitterly against the extravagances of the French court has no word of sympathy to spare for the unfortunate little princess, con- demned by this ruthless edict always to wear new shoes. Louis. XVI had 30 doc tors of his own, but surely no one will be found to envy him this royal superfuity Chicago Tribune.
