The primary object for which this road

for the Ignite coal being mined at Alba
ut which point there are now in operation
two large and paying mines, with an out

day. This coal is of n very fair Ignite
quality and is burned extensively in the
two large salt plants ut this point and ms
will he the only fuel used 10y them when
the Texas Short Line is completed. The
coal in these TWO mines lies some forty
feet below the surface IN vAn more than
nine feet In thickness, some coal mas
been mined at this point for mere than
five years but mining on an extensive scale
has been in operation only about one
year. other mines will be opened Just as
soon - the Texas snort Line IL III runhIhs

A commission has been appointed ana
condemnation proceedings will be held mere
on next Saturday for the purpose Of con.

The heresy of anarchy is becom-
ing alarmingly prevalent in Ameri-
ca but it is not indigenous to this
country. 1t was imported from
Russia and is allied to nihilism. 1t
is fostered in brazen exemplifcation
of boldness by the shameless lies of
the yellow journals and the unjust
and senseless TRADES of conscience
less demagogues,-attack against
the existing order of industrial con-
ditions and government with an ami
mus of envy and hate and an ulti-
mate object of profiting by spoils;
a demand to "turn the rascals out"
that their places might be filled with
a more rascally set of rascals. Gro
yer Cleveland gave this disposition
countenance and encouragement in
his demagogical attack in his last
campaign upon great industries built
up by combinations of capital, and
Bryan received his first nomination
to the presidency on the Democratic
ticket as the result of one of the
most inhammatory political speeches
ever made in thi, country. The
burden of Bryan's speeches in two
campaigns was to assail the basis Of
our industrial conditions with the
object of creating unrest ana disaffec-
ton among a large class OF men.
He delivered hundreds of these adj
dresses to millions of people, every
one ofwhich was calculated to create
disturbance. The suppression of
anarchy demands as prerequisite
the retirement of the organs, the
Altgelds and the Tillmans. The
public conscience must be educated
to repudiate false doctrine. Either
these political agitators are dishon-
est or they believe falsehood, in
consonance with the theory that one
may tell lie and reiterate it SO of
ten as eventually to believe it to be
the truth.

The state tax commission urges
the county boards to vote the high
est allowance the law permits, $500
day, to the supervisor of assess
ment, an official which the board of
supervisors of every county in the
state are required to elect at their
coming annual session. In no other
way can there be secured the results
contemplated by the law. The su-
pervisors will realize that man of
good judgment, of business capacity
and experience, and hustler, is
needed for the job. Such a man is
worthy of his hire, and if they pay
him four dollars a day he will earn
it and if they pay a man $I.5o day
he will be likely not to earn it. The
duties of the officer require that he
shall do a great deal of travelling
about the county and consequently
his expenses will be considerable,
expenses that he is required to pay
out of his wages-if they are suffi-
cient to meet the demand.
