ONE OF TEXAS BIG RANCHES.

From the Review or Reviews.
 Texas is noted for the number and ex- tent of its ranches. Of total of several thousands, they vary in size from a few thousand to several million acres, the large ones averaging 5000 acres. The greatest Is the "X. l. T." in the Panhan- dle, which embraces half a dozen coun- ties and contains nearly 5000 900 acres. II belongs to the Capitol Syndicate" a company of men who received this vast territory some twenty years ago in re- turn for providing the magnificent state house at Austin. The ranch Is divided into seven sections, each managed by foreman, and each connected with the headquarters by means of telephones. The whole is run with the system and dis patch which characterizes all great in- dustries.
 On this ranch now run considerably over 100000 head of cattle. and an idea of the size may be gained from the fact that the pasture fence extends 210 miles in one direction and twenty-five in anoth- er making a total of about 5000 square miles. From time to time small paroles of land have been sold, and meanwhile valuations have appreciated from 50 cents an acre to four times that amount.

GAMBLER AND THE MARITIME CON-
GRESS.

The Maritime Congress at Brunswick
did just about what we supposed it would
4. practically indorsed the Hanna ship
subsidy bill. OF course Gov. Gambler had
no idea that the Endorsement OF that meas
ure would be the outcome Of IL when he
called it.. But Il Is a question II he feels
very badly about the matter. He finds
some consolation probably in the fact
that the congress was not a very large
one. According to our report there were
only twenty-four visiting delegates.
It seems to us that the Governor was
a little incorporate in some of his express
sions In speaking of the congress and
some Of the men prominent In il. We
have no doubt that the delegates were
sincere in the views they expressed IN
respect to the granting of subsidies to
ships. That being the case, they are en-
titled to have their opinions treated with
respectful consideration.
One of the delegates, Mr.. Sewall OF
Maine, criticised the Governor with con.
Siderable harshness for expressions used
in one of his interviews. II was but nat
ural that some of the members of the
convention should take exception to the
Governors uteranees. SIN. Mr.. sewall
permitted himself to use harsher language
than was Justihable under the circum-
stances. He ought to have remembered
that the convention was called by the
Governor with the belief that there would
b. nothing done to which he could reason
ably object II is wei known of course
that the Governor is strongly opposed TO
the granting of subsidies to ships, and
that he is particularly hostile to the Han
IA ship-subsidy bill. If he had supposed
that any resolution would be passed that
could be construed to be an Endorsement
of that measure he would not have issued
the call for the congress. Under the cir
cLmstances, therefore. he was entitled to
little latitude in criticising the congress
and its action.
The Hanna ship-subsidy bill needs all
the help 1t can get. No doubt the reso-
iutions adopted by the Brunswick con-
gress will give it quite boost. They
make the work of its opponents all The
harder That the bill is one that ought
not to be passed there is no doubt As
far as we are able to see, it would be
of no benefit except to few rich steam.

Interest in the John Marshall celebration
appears in the Worlds Work for February
by some characteristic Incidents in the
life of the great chief justice, besides
which there are a Marshall portrait, {.
silhouette and pictures of a number of
Marshall landmarks. Here is one of the
Incidents:
One day, Judge Marshall, engrossed in
his reflections, was driving over the
wretched roads of North Carolina on his
way to Raleigh in a stick gig. His horse
tuned out of the road. and the sulky ran
over a sapling and was tilted so as to
arouse the Judge. When he found that
he could move neither to right nor Iel
an old negro who had come along, solved
the difficulty.
MY old marster," he asked, what fer
you don't back your horse?"
That's true" said the Judge. and he
acted as advised Thanking his deliverer
heartily, he felt in his pocket for some
change, but he did not have any.
Never mind, old man." he said ~
shall stop at the tavern and leave some
money for you with the landlord"
The old negro was not impressed with
the stranger but he called at the tavern,
and asked the keeper if an old gentleman
had left anything there for him.
"Oh, yes,' said the landlord. "he LETT
silver dollar for you What do you
think of that old gentleman"
The negro gazed at the dollar and said:
He was a gem'man. for sho': but

No London Tricks for Her.

Some time ago an elderly married eoh-

NO REDUCTION or wAR TAXES.

There appears to be good reasons for
the statement in our di pa -ches that
there is likely to be no reduct on in the
war taxes at this session of Congr IS,
and perhaps not at all. The Republican
leaders are afraid that if these taxes
were reduced to the extent of 4O,COO 900
there would be deficit in the treasury
in the next fiscal year.
A fact that is LIST beginning to be gen.
orally known is that there is a pretty
steady decline in the receipts from Gus
toms duties. In future, therefore, more
revenue will have to be collected f ON in
ternal taxes. There are two reasons for
the falling off in the revenue from Gus
toms receipts. One Is t at the country
is not so dependent upon the products of
other countries as 1t once was, and hence
is not importing so much, Anether is
that on many articles tlr n duties are
prohibitory. They were / tended to be
prohibitory. so as to give the domestic
market to home producers at pric high
ly profitable. Many things produced in
this country are so n fore gn markets
at much lower prices than they are sold
at home.
The Secretary of the Treasury is of the
opinion that the time las come for
thorough revision of the tariff, but he
does not want it revised by committees
of Congress. He advises that a commits
sion of experts be appointed to do the
work for Congress. 1t is hardly prob
able that he will be gratifed in this mat
ter. 1t is not forgotten that there was
tariff commission about eighteen years
ago, and that Cor g ess had no use for its
work when completed.
No commss on could revise the tariff
so that it would be acceptable to the poll
ticians The better way is to ! the o. M
mittees of Congress undertake the re-
vision. but when the tariff is tacEl
again it is certain that there is g9ing to
be some wide disagreement among Re-
publicans. They will be so wide that the
tariff may be again a paramount issue in
politics.

In Republican circles in Washington,
the impression prevails that Representa-
tive Lentz of Ohio intends to make the
political league of which he is the presi
dent, an epoch-making organization. He
calls it the Jefferson-J ackson-Lincoln
League, and he proposes to give a great
dinner at Columbus, o.. on Feb. u, the
occasion being the birthday of Lincoln.
The number of invitations is limited to
1000. 1t costs 81 every six months to be-
come a member of the league. AS the
dinner is to cost only 81 pate, It is not
understood why that amount is collected
every six months. unless IL is that the
purpose is to give two dinners a year.
jefferson is supposed to stand for "equa.-
ity." Jackson for honesty" and Lincoln
for elderly"
The speakers named for the approach
ing February dinner are Mr.. Bryan OF
Nebraska, Mr.. Towne of Minnesota, Mr..
Carmack of Tennessee. George Fred VII
liams of Massachusetts, Mr.. Aitge,d of
Illinois, Mr.. Pettigrew of South Dakota
and Mr.. de Almond of Missouri. This is
u
lists, but II Will be noticed that the East
is not strongly represented and that the
South is not honored in proportion to her
strength in the Democratic party. Evil
IDENTIFY the purpose is to make it appear
that the strength of the Democratic party
In the future is to be in the West.
It is not known from Mr.. Lentz just
what the true meaning of the dollar din
ner on Feb. 10 is, but the superstition is
that a boom for Mr.. Bryan as the presi-
in 1904 is to be launched. Assuming that
such is the case would it be out of place
to suggest that Mr.. Lentz has begun the
business of boom launching too soon?
II would be well to let Mr.. Bryan rest
awhile, especially as the Hon. David b.
Hin seems to be quite a favorite at this
particular time in the South, and the
South is going to have a good deal to say
in the next national convention of the
Democratic party.
Another suggestion is that hints will be
thrown out at the dinner as to what
should be done in the direction of the re-
organization of the Democratic party.
This suggestion doubtless comes from Re
publican sources. If the Democratic party
is to be reorganized the work will not be
which he is the moving spirit His 81
dinner will be an incident not a factor
Of the political situation.

An Interview with Kitchener.

Mr.. James Barnes, the American cor
respondent, has a sketch Of Lord Kitch-
ener in the February Worlds Work which
stands out as distinctly genuine and in
innate. Telling of his first meeting with
the General, Mr.. Barnes says:
Ii was while the Eleventh Division,
with which headquarters travelled, was
encamped at Natal Spruit, just outside
the gates of johannesburg / had rid
den over from the left of the line and
was making my report to Lord Stanley,
the Press censor, when tx. OF K" caught
sight of me. 1t was evident from his first
question, that he took me for a dispatch
writer or some one having official con-
nection In the army. He came forward
and. without preamble, launched a num-
Der of questions in quick session. while
his game" eye bored me through and
through, and as an old corporal described
similar situation, 'All the soldier in me
went to my finger tips and l could scarce
keep my hand from my hat brim." The
questions were so we'll put that they re-
quired but yes or mo" to answer.

From the left, sir"

Yes, sir"

When he had ascertained what little
information I could give he ended where
most people would have begun.
Who are you?" he asked bluntly.

KANSAS SALOON RAIDS.

The craze for smashing saloon fixtures
aud pouring liquors into the street is
spreading in Kansas. In our dispatches
yesterday there was graphic account
OF a raid on the saloons in the town of
Anthony. led by a woman named Sheriff.
She had the assistance OF some OF the
most prominent women of that commun-
ty. From the account a large amount
of liquor of one kind and another was
! destroyed. A sad feature OF the affair
was that men and boys were afforded an
opportunity to get all the intoxicants they
wanted free of charge. and the result
was that there were many drunken per-
sons on the streets.
No doubt there will be other raids, and
ID would not be In the least surprising
If there should be some tragedies before
the craze dies out. 1t is not reasonable
to suppose that saloon men will permit
their property to be destroyed without
making a show Of resistance. When they
begin 40 resist then there will be some
body hurt.
The means which Mrs. Nation and Mrs.
Sheriff and others are using to shut up
the saloons in Kansas are not the proper
ones. They will not permanently be effec-
tive. There are the most stringent kind
of prohibition laws in Kansas. 1t is prac-
tically Impossible. however, to enforce
them because public sentiment is not be-
hind them. The same is true In che pro-
hlbition states OF Maine, New Hampshire
and Vermont In all of these four states
liquor is freely sold, and in most PAGES
in them it Is sold openly The saloon
keepers are fined but the fines don't
amount to more than a reasonable Ii
cense. Therefore the saloon men pay the
fines and continue the business.
The only way TO put down the liquor
traffic is by local option. The people
must be educated against drinking intox-
icants. When that is done there will be
no saloons, because there viii be no bust
ness for them. It is a safe assertion that
there is a smaller amount OF intoxilants
sold in this state per capita than in Kan
sas. though the latter is prohibition
state.
On Wednesday the Legislature of Ten
nessee passed a local option law rather
than a prohibition law. and thereby
showed its wisdom In dealing with the
liquor question. 1t may take some years
for the temperance people to get control
of the stete. but if they are in earnest
they will eventually put a stop to the
liquor traffic. 1t would be much better
In Kansas If Mrs, Nation and Mrs. Sheriff
and the other women engaged in the war
on the saloon keepers if they were to be-
gin a campaign OF education against the
liquor traffic. When they had convert
ed the state to temperance there would
be no need of smashing saloons, for there
would be none to smash.
