TEXAs LETTER.

Lubbock. Texas, Feb. 5, 1902
editor KENTUcKIAN:
Iwant to write a few lines to the
good and honest people through the
columns of the KENTUcKIAN. I'm
living in Lubbock county out on
the great plains, where man, when
he goes home after his days work,
doesn't have to hang his hat on a
nail, but simply has to only to lay
it up by the side Of the house, and
the wind does the rest.
Well, the plains are as level as a
floor and sandy as the sea shore. /
haven't seen an oak forest since, |
left Memphis, Tenn, but our train
was night train and we travelled
about a hundred and fifty miles in
the night, and of course could not
see much of anything. think Ar
kansas must have been named after
a saw mill, for there IS one about
every mile or two along the rail-
. rord.
Nearly everybody on the train
came from Memphis to Texarkana
and were going to Texas or oakla-
homa, and they were a jolly set.
1 haven't seen a black man since
left Colorado, Tex, and that has
been seventeen days.
We left Colorado city Sunday Jan.
the 10Th, about noon and arrived
at. VIII. yaughauss about noon
Wednesday of the same week.
On the way we saw few can
yons and mountains, which were
very beautiful to a person who had
never seen any before.
There was one peak rising up
out OF canyon that was about 25
feet high and was almost perfectly
round, and was about 90 feet across
the top, and it looked like some boy
had cut the top off with his papa S
broad axe, it was so leavel on top.
We arrived on the plains about
HIS a. m. on Tuesday, January
Dist, and haven't seen a hill since,
except the one going in and out of
the canyon at the little town Of Lub-
buck
Lubbuck Is a very nice little yil-
LACE It has 8 or T stores, two land
Offices, one printing Office, a court
house, a church, a public school, a
bank, and several nice residences,
besides large hotel. The people
are all honest and upright and
have plenty of money to pay the
cash for what they buy.
have seen 25 or 80 antelopes,
and prairie dogs to let, besides 1
have seen several wolves and jack
rabbits. / shot one ia,k rabbit and
it would have weighed about 25
lbs. It's ears we're six inches long

Luke 1 60. There is no open door
in the law, 1t IS a solid rack. FOR
i gIveness is an opeu door u have
heard therein time accepted, and
in the day Of salvation have sue
cored thee; behold now is the &C
cepted time; behold, now is the day
Of salvation - cor 9; 2. There is
room for repentance in the gospel;
there is no room in the law when
Jesus saw their faith, be said unto
the sick of palsy, Son thy sins be
forgiven the* say unto the, arise
take up the bed, and 60 thy way
into thine house Mark ,. s. When
the aduteress came to Christ she
was forgiven. She heard him
preaching the day before the mes
sage of deliverance and freedom.
That's the reasan she came and
poured out the wealth of her affec-
ton at his feet. Christ said to her,
you haven't misinterpreted me, thy
sins are forgiven thee" Law
came by Moses, but grace and truth
by Jesus Christ" The woman
stayed at his feet, and that is the
way you must do. Don t ask Isn't
sin sin?' Christ will do everything
for vo,, ttTba cd la4L1.,l -, L, -,
the iniquity of us all. " Paul says
in 2 cor. $40 90 God was in Christ,
reconciling the world unto himself,
not imputing their trespasses unto
them; AID hath committed unto us
the word of redemption. God is
try ing to get the world to be friends
with him. He is not laying up their
tresPasses against them. He laid
them all on Christ. Be reconciled
to God. How awfully God Judges
sin. He had to lay all their weight
on his son. Forgiveness of sin is
not predicated on repentance or
baptism. Forgiveness is With God
in Jeasus Christ. Repentance and
baptism cannot buy forgiveness of
Sins. The price was paid by Christ
and God gives clean and full re-
ceipt. Nevertheless it is possible
to be forgiven and yet be lost. Some
of you here tonight are saying, by
your acts, If not in words, Il love
my master, l will not give up my
sins. l won't accept freedom, l
choose to be a slave forever" You
may be damned with the tears of
God upon you. Justified, but you
won t accept the freedom that God
gives you, You have the holes bored
in your ears and choose to be a
slave forever. You won't accept the
gilt OF eternal life in Jesus. Christ.

The Wall-Street Pelee,

From the Altoona lPa.) Tribune, Republican
The United States has enjoyed an almost
uninterrupted period of prosperity for the past
four or FIVE years. The good times have been
without a parallel in the history of the coun-
try. The earning capacity of the various
branches of industry has exceeded the ex-
pectations of the most sanguine, and has
created the impression in some minds that this
condition will always exist. In the circum
stances it is not surprising that values OF Sc,
curities have reached figures far in excess of
their true worth. Within five years prices of
some of the leading stocks dealt in ON the
New York exchange have more than doubled
in value, and the interests back of these move
ments tell the public with apparent confidence
that the top of the market has not been reach
ed. They base their opinion upon the pre-
sent unusual conditions existing in this coun'
try, but make no allowances for the future or
for sudden falling off in the demand for pro-
ducts or failure of important crops-for in
stance, such as grain. Nobody who has studied
the situation viii deny that the destruction OF
grain crops would seriously cripple the earn
ing capacity of transportation interests of the
country, and would be reflected in all lines
of business. Should the money market be-
come stringent and and remain so for any
length of time, some of the schemes, the sue
cess Vi WHICH QCpCudS uPOu idsOAoDiS hAohSJ
conditions, would have to be delayed or aban-
doned, and lenders would undoubtedly take
advantage of the situation to obtain higher
rate OF interest. Failing to comply with calls
for more margin would be followed by liquid
alton and disaster to many. An illustration
of how sudden changes come oyer the New
York stock market was furnished by the re-
cent collapse in the Webb Meyer group in
Wall street, which swamped several brokerage
houses and reduced to poverty many persons
who previous to the crash were regarded as
milionaires. 1t is dangerous ut all times for
persons of limited means to speculate, but at
times like these when values are inflated, it
would seem to be the part of folly to take a
chance in the Wall street lottery.
There is danger ahead for traders in Wall
street stocks. They are living on the crest of
volcano, which some day will let go its pent-
up fury and engulf those in the wake OF the
eruption. The Wall street volcano will not,
like those in the West Indian islands, destroy
human lives, but it will make havoc with many
fortunes, great and small. The big financial
interests Of the country are engaged in con-
summating tremendous deals, and, pending
the completion of their plans, they will do all
in human power to stave off the explosion.
But as in the volcano so in Wall street.-the
longer natural processes are suppressed the
greater the upheayal is apt TO be when it does
come.

4 vigorous Democratic Campaign.


The composition of the Executive and Fl
nance Committees by the Democrats in charge
Of the Congressional Campaign Committee
shows that it is intended to make vigorous
campaign next fall. Heretofore it has been
the custom to confine the conduct of the Con-
gressional campaign to members Of Congress,
but this year men have been selected tor that
service because Of the belief that they possess
special equipment for the duties to be per-
formed. The two committees that will man
ago the campaign are composed largely OF
men not in Congress, and the selection of men
ike Cable, of Illinois, and Shepard, of New
York. for the Executive Committee, and
NIXON. of New York, Harrison, Of Illinois,
and Guffey, of Pennsylvania, for the Finance
Committee, is an Indication that the campaign
will be prosecuted with vigor and aggressive
ness. All the men called into the service who
are not in Congress are men Of inffue nee IN
their respective communities and States The
Republican Congressional Committee is com
posed entirely of Senators and Representa-
tiyes, the Treasurer of the committee being
the only exception Chairman Griggs has
gone to Chicago to consult Messrs. Cable and
Harrison, and will also visit st. Louis TO con-
fer with the party leaders of that section.
Headquarters OF the Executive Committee VIII
be at Chicago, while the general headquarters
will be at Washington, which win be formally
opened on the 10th. The Democrats are ex-
pecting to make gains in the West IN the agri-
cultural districts. and are hopeful of picking
up few districts in the East as the result OF
discomfort among the industrial classes.
