Where Hard Times Are I'm

The large profits of the MormonS as
farmers financially are exhibited IN
the Atlantic Monthly for November
by William E Smythp, and the show
ing is remarkable. In the Az odd
years since these people settled, virtu

pended 1868 100000 for the cost Of
maintaining Church and State, the
two having been virtually one. All
this, excepting S20,O00,OOO brought in
by immigrants, was the product Of
farming bv irrigation. Each Mormon
farmer el joyed an average income OF
1882 ,ear above the cost of living .
Each has been compelled, moreover,
to give 1.-THE every year to the

CONVENTION PROCEEDINGS.
II. NJ. johnson Made Temporary Chair
man-Compartively Small At
tendance.

Fort Worth. Tex. Aug. 1S.-lSpccialO
While late trains last night and this
morning brought in an additional num-
her of delegations, Chairman Dudley ana
the executive committee. when they
mounted the rOStrum at noon today to
witness the opening of the convention,
looked upon one of the smallest state
democratic nominating conventions ever
held in Texas. This is generally con
coded, but Temporary Chairman X. VI.
johnson. in his acceptance speech, reck-
lcssly placed the number i'll attendance
mt 1000. hut it fell far short of that. The
convention hall is comparatively small
but if the people of Fort Worth had
not been drawn to the opening through
curiosity the convention proper would
have been well nigh lost in the hall. As
it was, the presence of something like
1000 sight-Scers managed to swell the
crowd to fair proportions only. but
what they lacked in number they made
up for i'll noise, and many of the patriots
present said that it was Il patriotic people
speaking out.
The agricultural element Is still promi-
nent only for its absence. \ few came
struggling in, but most of the crowd
were Office holders and oilice-scckcrs, who
had exclusive charge since Sunday, and
who will have to, through necessity as
wen an tllOlNt. run lulS tbINtHllbll.
1t was shortly after noon when NJ. III.
SpoOnts, Il prominent railroad attorney
of Fort Worth. welcomed the visitors to
the city in Il brief but happy speech.
The Rev. DR.. Lloyd then offered up Il
prayer, and Chairman Dudley followed
with gymnastic bouquct-throwing
speech as to the success of the silver
democracy.
The executive committee report was
read. suggesting X. NJ. johnson of the
Houston Post for temporary chairman
and John Ball of the comptrollcr's
office as temporary secretary.
This report raised the first rucus of the
convention. inasmuch rs l.. l.. Foster
was on his feet instantly with speech
to the effect that such proceedings as
the executive committee recommending
temporary officers was Il republican prac-
tice not in accordance with democratic
usages or principles. He had no objcc-
ton to Mr.. Johnson. but did object to the
committee recommending anybody. and
he therefore placed George -. Pcndleton
before the convention to be voted on for
the position.
This raised another row and for the
next ten minutes half dozen made
various speeches while delegates and
visitors both started in to see how
much noise they could make to drown
out all speakers.
During the melee of spccch-makng
Baillio of Clchurne seconded .IohnSon's
nomination and said that il was an honor
he deserved because he was the demo-
cratic editor of the only democratic news
paper in Texas.
