THERE are a few people in every
town, says an exchange, who
have nothing else to do but at
tend to other peoples affairs.
They know what everybody is
doing, by doing nothing but
squeezing their gas-bag. They
are never progressive, liberal or
fairminded. Find more notes in
their neighbours eyes with larger
beams in their own. Gag at more
gnats and swallow more cammels
suggests more improvements,
and make less than a Hottentot.
In word, they are human ex-
crescences on the body polite.
There is still another class of So
called men who are too Internal
close listed to subscribe for their
town paper, but very profuse in
their criticisms, comment and
condemnation of it. They bor-
row from some one a copy, and
proceeds to criticise, suggest,
and advise the editor. "They
are very wise in their own eyes, !"
know all about how to do every
thing according to their own self
conceit. They are a great load
for any town to carry.

WHAT TEXAS NEEDS.

Texas Farm and Ranch con-
tends that what Texas needs to
develop her resources is an in
flux of immigrants to occupy her
fertile lands, to develop her
mines, and work her forests.
The first thing needed is 100000
farmers who will purchase homes
and become a part of the States
best citizenship. AS conditions
demand it, men with money will
develop mines, start saw mills,
planning mills, woodworking
factories, cotton and wool factor
les, and other enterprises will be
attached in regular order as the
vast areas of arabic and pasture
lands become occupied by a
prosperous and contented pop
ulation of consumers. For all
the purposes for which a pro-
gressive people desire to occupy,
there is not a state or country
now on the worlds map which
can offer equal inducements.
Land fertile and cheap, climate
unsurpassed for comfort and
health; a state government and a
public policy, honest, intelligent,
progressive and up-to- date; with
educational advantages few
states can equal, a low rate of
taxation, and a history every
citizen may well be proud of,
Texas offers to every homeseeker
advantages to be found no where
else. If capitalists see fit to in
vest their money in public or
private enterprises, they too,
will be welcomed and their rights
respected. But if they choose to
credit misrepresentation of the
state by corporation organs and
attorneys, we shall shed no tears
and lose no sleep on that account,
realizing that they, and not our
people, will be the losers. We
would rather have 100000 good
farmers tilling their own soil and
resting when tired under their
own grape vines and fruit trees,
than all the financial sharpers
that can be spared from the East.
Give US the farmers and home
builders and family raisers, and
if anybody don't want any of.
Texas we can stand it better than
they can. We have a good thing
and our people know it and are
willing that others shall enjoy it,
but we merely lay the facts be-
fore candid world. We do not
beg people to come nor will we
hire them to come by bounties,
exemptions, or otherwise. We
feel as independent about the
matter as a wood-saWer who has
just had full meal. These are
a few of the facts. Come if you
want to-; or if you don't. want to,
stay where you are, or go to
Kansas. This is not intended as
a cautions approach to profanity,
but simply as an acknowledge
ment that other people may be as
Independent about the matter as
we are.

SECRETARY OF STATE JOHN
SHERMAN, is quoted by the New
York World as follows regarding
trusts: "The matter of trusts is
altogether the most important
question of the day. A combi-
nation of persons engaged in a
common business would seem on
its face to be fair enough mat
ter, but in reality such combina-
tons prevent healthful compe-
tition and control output and
prices. The present. national
trust law (the Sherman law is
not strong enough. l framed it
myself, but the senate committee
on judiciary made changes in it
which materially weakened its
effect, I favor making unlawful
in the most direct manner all
combinations in restraint of
trade. They put all industries in
the control of a few men. The
people have a right to open COM
petition in all industries and
trades. Restraint of trusts can
be made effective when we can
get the proper kind of law. The
supreme court has upheld the
present trust law, but has pointed
out its defects. l think those de-
fects can and will be remedied.
The trust people say the effect OF
their combinations is to lower
prices of the products which they
control. l do not believe it. The
tendency to control the output
and put up prices must naturally
come with the control of any
important industry or trade.
When a man makes his money on
a fair Basis of trade no man en-
vies him or has a right to. When
he makes a fortune with the
trusts which shuts out COM
petition or restraints trade it is
denounced, and this has been
done by all people and at all
times. 1t is unfair competition
and unfair combinations that
aroused this cry against trusts"

are yet paid to the sacred memoir
les of those days of long ago by
such silver tongued orators as
Gov. Bob Taylor Of Tennessee
and Gen. Jno. 3. Gordon OF
Georgia. Acknowledging the
beauty Of these tributes, and re-
cognizing their fidelity to the
situation and surroundings, as
they were in those days, we must
be practical enough to recognize
a change from then to now and
as well, some of the leading
causes of such change.
SIN the many changes from
the old South to the new, to
which 1 have referred, it is most
gratifying to observe that there
has has been less change in the
noble daughters of the land.
Still they are and will ever re-
main the peerless queens of the
fairest land and the most chivalric
people on the face of the earth.
We have erected monuments to
many of our heroes and are con-
templating the erection of many
more. l make no objection to
thus attesting your gratitude in
endeavoring to perpetuate the
glory of your men, but I do say,
that as they deserve to have
their memory perpetuated in
bronze and marble, the angel
daughters of the Confederacy
should have erected to their be-
loved memory a grander monu-
mems than was ever built-of
pure gold and virgin silver.
Whatever the changes from
the old to the new, we have an
abiding faith in those descended
from these noble men and
women, and we believe that,
whatever may be the difficulties,
they will ultimately fulfill the
highest destiny of their section
and their people and will contri-
butte their full share in correcting
abuses and in building up,
fostering and cherishing forever
the honor and glory of our COM
mon country. The conquered
banner has been furled forever
and your sons and daughters will
show no less devotion to the
stars and stripes than you did to
the stars and bars. The one is q
sacred memory to be cherished
and loved, as we cherish and love
the memory of our departed
angels; but the other is a living
charge, calling Sfor our present
patriotic devotion, and whenever
assailed, for our determined and
heroic defense.

THE NEW SOUTH.

|
Association, at their Floresville
reunion, spoke as follows of the
New South:
"The South of today is COM
monty called the New South.
Often when we hear our section
of the country socalled we see
the old Southern blood flush in
the face of our citizens and a
prompt denial of its existence
made.
'The people of the ante-bellum
South were chivalric and senti-
mental people, imbued with the
highest ideas of patriotism and
of national and personal courage.
No Drawer men or purer women
ever lived and courage and vir-
tue were almost defied by them.
Hence, when a new South is
spoken of, it is natural that our
first thought should be of a
change in this regard and it is
natural that we should feel like
resenting such a change.
81 do not believe that such is
a true Interpretation of the ex-
preston New South Our men
are personally as brave, our wo-
men as good and true, but there
are changes brought about, if
you please, by what's considered
the march and progress of mod
ern civilization, which have GER
tainly given US New South, a
New North a New United
States if not a new civilized
world. What influence the great
civil war, in which you partici-
pated so nobly, may have had in
producing present conditions is
doubtful, except that it was one
of the great epochs in the history
of our country, which doubtless
FASTENED our progress toward
existing conditions.
"This government was founded
on the highest ideas of patriotism
and civil liberty and it has ever
been our proudest boast that the
people of the South are the most
vigilant defenders of these ideas.
The bare suggestion that there
could be a sordid motivs UNDER
laying or debating their action or
position on any public question
was promptly and firmly resent
ed. If sentimentally extravagant
in their chivalric defense of cour-
age and virtue they vote no less
so in their devotion to the princi-
pies of government which they
had learned to consider the basis
of their liberties, their happiness
and their prosperity. A people
so prompted, living under the in
fluence and environments of the
South, were necessarily extrem-
lists, in the sense that they did
with all their might and without
faltering whatever they under
took to accomplish. The same
Southern sun which made our
section the wealth producer of
the nation, warmed the blood and
quickened the heart beats of our
people and made them enthus-
lasts in their devotion to what
ever cause they once conceived
to be just and right. 1t is unnec-
essary then to even discuss the
merits of the contention involved
in the civil war in order to ac-
count for and to justify the
noble heroism and sublime
courage of those who fought
under the Stars and Bars.
We heard our statesmen talk
of our glorious liberty, our right
to govern ourselves and none
would dispute, but each We'd
with the other in higher lauda-
tons of the superb theory on
which our institutions were
founded. The same sun that
warmed us then shines upon our
people now, the same lines of eli
mate, soil and occupation have
their influences and affect the
sentimentality and chivalry of
the South to-day, and we have
