THE DBVELoPMENr OF TEXAS.

A fact Of great interest as showing the rapid
settling OF the Southwestern region of the
United States is that Texas will sell on Septem-
Der six million acres Of her public lands In the
western part Of the State. The lands will be
sold to settlers only, and purchasers may buy
from one to eight sections. The area to be sold
viii. therefore, furnish homes for about five
thousand families. The land viii be sold at
minimum price Of 81 an acre, and easy terms
VIII be granted as to payments.
The sale viii have an important bearing upon
rsnchers whose days under the old regime are
evidently drawing TO a close, even in Texas
Usually these ranchers own few sections OF
land and then lease large tracts from the State
but year by year the farming area has ell
croHched upon the ranches, and, within the last
decade or two, with unprecedented rapidity, as
is shown by the fact that in 1890 the acreage
Of farms In Texas was 81, ,4O6,93 while In 1900
IL had Increased TO 1850 ,107. The figures
for the present decade are likely to show
even greater increase. Previous to 1885
what was known the Great Staked Plain
wRB supposed TO be mainly a desert not fit
for farming purposes Now, as already said
q part Of this great plain Is TO be cut up
into farms, and practically all Of It. in the
near future, will undoubtedly furnish homes for
thousands Of families. Water, ii is now known
can be found IN great abundance, usually from
twenty-five 10 my IeeI DeloW tne surface, ana
the sol is rich and capable Of supporting a dense
population. The area now TO be brought within
the domain Of agriculture is a territory Of 94OO
square miles, an area more than four times as
great as that OF Delaware. nearly twice that of
Connecticut, larger than that OF Massachusetts
OF Sew-Hampshire or New7Jersey, and equal to
more than seven States the size OF Rhode Island
As the State. even after selling these six million
acres. VIII stln have twelve million acres OF pub
lie lands left 90 be disposed Of IL is evident that
the Development Of Texas into q great agricuIt-
ural commonwealth win hold prominent place
IN the history OF the United States With
hne climate, no malaria, a soil that yields in
abundance all the fruits and grains Of the tenn
perate zone, the Great Staked Plain will play
an Important role when its possibilities have
been properly developed. AS all along the bor-
ders OF this new territory 10 be opened TO farm

one hundred miles from a railroad, that fact

SUBMARINE BOATS.

Though the submarine boat, the Farfadet has
been raised from the mud in which she sank
several days ago. all hope of saving the lives
of her crew had to be abandoned. Deplorable
as is the accident which resulted in that sac
rlf1ce, it is not likely to lessen the employment
of the class of vessels to which the Farfadet
belongs. With every modern invention-and
the submarine must really be regarded as such
Ignorance, carelessness and inexperience are
sure to lead to mishaps In the early stages Of
its career. So long as It is apparent that ordi-
nary vigilance will avert their repetition, sub
marines are sure to be tried sufficiently to re-
veal their merits, and they will be judged ac-
cordingly. An experiment made several years
ago with One the Fulton, showed that such
craft might remain under water for fifteen hours
without causing inconvenience to her men. 1t
is not unlikely that the air supply might be
made TO last even longer than that. Under or
dinary circumstances there would be no danger
Of suffocation. On this score, then there need
be little anxiety. AS to the utility of the sub
marine as a weapon there remains practically
no doubt although its limitations have not been
clearly defined. France is more enthusiastic
over its merits than any other leading power
but practically every navy in the world includes
at least few representatives of the class.
In order to test the results of diving, the
ability to retain the reserve of buoyancy" on
which a return to the surface is dependent
and the possible obscuration of the optical ap-
paratus of submarines by spray, It is desirable
to conduct further experiments 4 good deal
is yet TO be learned about the work that can be
accomplished with certainty in rough weather
For this reason, and also because officers and
men should have an ample opportunity to be-
come familiar with the pecularities Of the ser
vice, submarines ought to take part in regular
naval man9uvres every year. Only in that
manner can they be fully prepared for the prac-
teal business Of war.
1t is a matter of surprise that no serious at
tempt has yet been made to employ subma-
rine boats in peaceful pursuits Jules Verne
has indicated the possibility Of exploring the
sea by such means, but nobody has yet acted
on his hint 1t has also been suggested that
the discomfort of voyagein an ordinary steam
ship might be avoided by resorting to craft that
could be slightly submerged. The plan will
probably never be carried into execution, be-
below the surface than most people realize. A
project that promised to develop even greater
value than either Of these is that which Simon
Lake had in mind when he first began to de-
sign submarines. He proposed to mount them
on wheels so that they could run along the
bottom Of a harbor or shallow sea, and to
have trap doors In the bottom for the use OF
searcher or diver. In the inspections Of
wrecks the removal Of their cargOes and the
raising of vessels which have sunk, but are
not hopelessly damaged, a boat Of this char
acter ought to prove helpful. One Of these days
Mr.. Lakes work will be better appreciated
than It is to-day.

Of those rights, It would seem as if interference
by a mob with the course of q States justice
toward a citizen of the United States was not
only a violation of the Constitution, but an Of
fence already constituted a crime by the statute
concerning which a federal grand jury is en-
powered to act
1t may be said that the power TO safeguard
the immunities Of citizens against domestic viO-
lence should only be exercised through the
States by the aid OF federal power on requisi-
ton. That contention can be upheld only on
the assumption that it is usurpation of State
power for the United States itself to punish vio-
lations Of federal law because they happen to
be also violations of State law. Such a view
has long been discarded even by Estate rights"
doctrinaires. However it may have been in the
early days of the Republic, the Fourteenth
Amendment established the power of the United
States within its sphere, not only over the
States, but directly over the people in the States
The States need not fear 1t. The authority
which Judge Jones asserted does not interfere
with their functions 1t does not touch their in
ternal concerns or attempt the general admin
stratiOn of justice. 1t merely protects the State
courts in their unimpeded operations, and treats
those who defy State authority and thereby
harm citizens of the United States as enemies
Of the United States. 1t is a guarantee Of
peace to the States, and Is a power and the
only power, adequate to suppress bad public
opinion and brute passion in localities where
the machinery of local administration is not
strong enough TO protect itself or guarantee the
immundes of American citizens, which are a
national concern, on the sacredness of which
our very civilization depends

"a Sword of the Old Frontier is
stirring tale. 1t never lags from first to
last. Adventure follows adventure in
rapid succession. The reader one mo-
ment is In suspense for the hero and the
little group in whom centers the interest

relieved at their escape. He has no
sooner felt such relief, however. until
he is again plunged into suspense, and
on to the end. q f;lt~
The story has for it's hero Raoul de

compelled by necessity to seek his for
tunes IN the new country. Having had
experience as a woodsman he is Entrusted
by Neyon de Villiers,s French command

with secret message to Pontiac, an
ally Of the French. Fate gives him the
opportunity to rescue two British maidens
from the plot Of a villain and from the

Religious Freedom, Too.

The resignation of the procurator Of
the holy synod is an additional evil
dence that the car of Russia means
cratic rule. Pobiedonostev, the metro
politan Of st. Petersburg, while not
titular head Of the orthodox religion in
Russia, has been it's actual head be-
cause Of his personal relations with the
car, and he has been the most tena--
cious opponent of the granting Of re
forms. Time and time again when the
weak Nicholas seemed on the point Of
yielding, a visit from the procurator
has stiffened his backbone and the con-
cessions have been either Withdrawn or
emasculated by the hand of this cum
ming prelate. The fact that he has re-
signed confirms the report that the czar
has surrendered. ..- - ~. ..>-se.$ 8: T.. =.
The religious question has been an
acute one in Russia. The way was
opened for more tolerable conditions
when the car few months ago made
his proclamation Of religious freedom.
Before that proclamation the laws of
Russia forbade an orthodox believer to
change his religious faith. They pun
ished the offense with loss Of civil
rights and even subjected the back
slider to confscation Of property.
Desertion from the state church was
crime, and it became even the duty
of fathers and mothers to inform
against the deserter. PROSECUTING on
the part Of other churches was strictly
forbidden. In the religious as in the
civil aspect Russia. has been living in
the middle ages. - u. .> .. w..
| The move forward toward civil free
dom will make religious liberation prac-
ticable. There is no possibility Of one
without the other, and civil freedom
usually has come first. .,. "

+ Judge Joseph e.. Gary of the superior

his term expired. Judge Gary pre-
sided at the trial of the anarchists in

throwing in Haymarket square. The
trial was the most sensational ever held

The Part Of Wisdom.

So far as we have heard any ex-
preston from saloon men, it is their
purpose tt. comply with the mayors or
der as to the Sunday saloon without
hesitation. It seems to us that this is
the wise thing for the saloon men, to
do. They might succeed in giving the
mayor a great deal Of trouble, but the
probabilities are that he could give
them more trouble than they can give
him. But that is not the attitude in
which the saloon people and the mayor
should approach each other. The mayor
is closing the Sunday saloons not out
Of feeling Of personal hostility
against the saloonkeeper, but because
he believes it would be the best thing
for the community and because the law
gives him the power. r. ~
Undoubtedly Sunday is the banner
day Of the week in the saloon business
and very probably closing the saloons
on that day will result in lessening the
number of saloons in Minneapolis, but
we do not believe that any considerable
number of people not financially inter
ested in the saloons will regard that as
misfortune from any standpoint. We
are much mistaken if there has not
been Of late years. a considerable ad
vance in public sentiment in this com
munity on the saloon question. The
one-time somewhat prevalent notion
that liberal policy toward the saloon
toward gambling, toward vice in gen
eral was a good thing for business has
been pretty generally abandoned. Thi:
is not to say that Minneapolis is ready
for narrow, puritanical policy, MOI
need anything of the kind be appre
hended from the present administra
ton. The laws give the saloons large
liberty as they are, and, in our iudg
ment, no one has more to gain by ;
prompt and square compliance with tn,
mayors order than the saloon mel
themselves.

Queer Uses Of the Telephone.

velopment in the United States" by F.
w. Coburn, in which are told some queer
uses Of the telephone. Mr.. Coburn says:
Not only has 1t annihilated time and space

ermen drop into the ocean depths line with
telephone attachment by which the swish Of
the approaching herring, Goldfish or mackere1 is
communicated to tie anxious listeners above. In
some Of the most delicate operations of hospital
surgery the telephone proves helpful and in or
binary medical practice the country mother
raises the baby to the transmitter in order
that the physician is the village may determine
whether Or not the cough is croupy. After re-
cent revival in which scores of eager seekers
had put in their requests for prayers, the evan
gelist handed his secretary list of names
with their telephone numbers and with the in
struction: .tJust call ) up each one Of these
sisters and brothers tomorrow morning and ask

to keep on with their prayers and inform them
