The day of the great, big, unimproy-
ed ranch is past in Texas, and instead
is coming the small farm, with diver
sified products, something to sell in
every month of the year, money in the
pockets of the farmers always, abso-
luton from dependence upon the mer-
chant or factor, wiping out of dis
counts and interests charges, freedom
from the tyranny Of one crop, and all
else that marks the difference between
a dependent and an independent posi-
ton. Texas farmers under these
newer and more favorable conditions
will have no competitors in their pros
perity.

Election contests are the order in
Kentucky, where the returns are so
close that it would puzzle a political
expert to tell on which side Of the
line the majority lies. In the cleo
toral vote and in the elections to the
state legislature the contest has been
decided on. This makes a fair prima
faci case for the Republicans, for it
presupposes that the Democrats have
counted in for their candidates all
that there was any hope of doing with
out detection.

The sheepmen in this western coun-
try are declining to sell. The assur-
ances of protection for their industry,
brought in by the election of Repub-
lican president and congress, has es-
tablished confidence in their ability to
grow wool and make a fair profit at
it, and they are not going to abandon
their lands. With the reoccupation
of the Texas sheep lands the school
funds of the state will find sudden in
crease. Prosperity goes hand in hand
with wise politics.

In levying duties on foreign imports
in government Of the people, by the
people, for the people, the interests Of
the masses of the people should be
considered. The duties that bear
heaviest on the rich and at the same
time yield good revenue are in order.
This is no discrimination against the
rich, for these spend their hundred
millions every year abroad, buying in
the show places of Europe, and it will
not hurt them to buy these same
goods Mt home and pay revenue upon
them to this government. Some of
these days common sense views on
this thing will prevail, and the rich
will pay an export tax on the riches
they take out of the country and an
import tax on the rich fabrics that
they purchase abroad. This will help
out.

Dogs are being used in the ambu-
lance department Of the German
army. They will be trained to seek"
at the, word of command and when
they come in with a cap or other ar
ticle of clothing they will be taken
back to the field with the attendants
to find the wounded to whom the
clothing belongs. 1t is thought much
suffering will be thus prevented and
a more prompt succor of the wound
ed made possible. War at best is the
science of inhumanity reduced to
practice.

The bill before the Alabama legis-
lature to regulate and license
the carrying of fire arms
has been criticised as measure
not according with growing ideas Of
humanitarianism. Not necessarily so,
as 1t would render it possible for the
state to prevent license being issued
ito dangerous characters, give decent
men the power Of protection and place
the law on a plane to be respected,
thus making its enforcement possible.
AS it is now the dangerous classes
carry weapons, because they do not
respect the laws, and the law-abiding
are unarmed and at the mercy Of the
lawless. At least this is the way that
it is in Texas. The change might be
tried.

There is one consolation in the fig
ures of the late election, and that is
that the prohibition movement is on
the decline, and that rapidly. 1t is
time that the roll of political impossi-
bilities became smaller by degrees
and then rapidly less. The prohib
vote in 1896 is little more than one
third of what it was in 1892. 1t ought
to drop another two-thirds before

MKINLEY's LUCK.

Il Il
ocratic papers put it, that has pu
Major Mckinley at the head Of the
| class, but it would be hard to make
his congressional bretheren believe
this. Find a man, Republican or Dem
ocrat, who has been at all intimate
with Mckinley in Washington and
you will find man who says that
there is no ADLER or purer man in pub
| lie or private life than Major McKin-
ley. The man who has been so pro-
nounced Republican from the day
that as sixteen-year-old volunteer
he left his college class to enlist in
the army until now, and yet who can
command the respect and confidence
and the eulogies as, well, of the old
est Confederates in congress, is no
mean man. His grasp of affairs is
sweeping, his knowledge is thorough,
his integrity beyond question, his
good fellowship rare, his companion
ableness proverbial, his knowledge of
details wonderful his statistical in
formation covers a wide range, his
studies are universal in their scope,
his judgment is matured, his sympa-
thies very broad, his Americanism so
pronounced as to be in less cour-
teous man offensive, yet in him they
are natural and accepted. No work
ever instructed to him has been neg
lected, and in no position in which he
has been placed has he been found
wanting. His associates upon the con-
gressional committees have found him
IL hard working, painstaking, con-
scientious workman. Those who have
met and known him in social life pro-
nounce him a loveable companion, a
pure minded and kindly spirit, gen.
erOus in all his impulses and n man
of the people in that he regards the
masses with affection, esteeming it
the business of government to so leg
islate and administer public affairs as
that the people may receive the larg-
est share of the benefits. His devotion
to his mother and wife and his I'M
swerving loyalty to his friends have
always been noted, and have marked
him as a man every way deserving Of
honor, confidence and the best gifts
that the American people have in
store. If prudence, hard study, econ
omy, close application, improvement
of every opportunity manliness, trust
worthiness, ability, signal aptitude for
affairs-if these are what the Demo
cratic press mean by luck, then Major
Mckinley is lucky man. Otherwise,
he is not lucky, as his position in the
country today is the result of his
personal quality as seen and APPROX
ed in all the situations in which in the
past he has been placed. A review of
his life in public proves this, and the
testimony of all who have served
with him on committee but confirms
the opinion. AS head of the govern
ment of Ohio he commended himself
to the people of that state by his able
AS president of the
United States he will not fail to show
himself a workman of whom the
country will not be ashamed. If there
is any luck attaching to the situation,
it is the country that is in luck, by
reason of having such man to pre-
side over its affairs instead of the boy
declaimer of the Platte.
