The question Of the drainage Of tn,

Clark during his recent visit 10 Miami,
the editor of the Morning News made
especial inquiry a. 70 the possibility of
9 survey Of the Everglades by the
United States government at any time
~ the near future, and was informed
that Secretary Wilson had promised 10
give the matter early attention. Just
before leaving Washington last week
~. Clark saw Secretary Wilson and
he'd q long talk with him IN reference 70
tn matter. They looked over maps
aGd compared the routes Of the different
explorations heretofore made. Mr..
Wilson showed much interest In the
matter, and In Mr.. Clark's presence

turnout is going to De an excellent
one. There is beyond doubt wheat
in this country that will thresh out
thirty bushels per acte, and The
News considers it safe to say that the
average yield for the entire crop OF
the county is not going to fall any
below 20 bushels per acre. AS the
land sown is practically the same in
quality-the great difference that is
here indicated in the turnout can
only be attributed to the right and
the wrong way of preparation
Of the seed bed and the quality
and quantity Of the seed put
in the ground. The time
Of sowing also, of course, cuts a
figure in the results. Where all
these things were given the proper
attention the yield per acre for
wheat in Randall County for this
season may safely be estimated at
Is bushels of good sound grain per
acre. The oat and other grain
crops, barley etc. is also made in SO
far as moisture is concerned and
much Of it is now ready for the
sickle. Some of our people are
claiming enormous yields for oats,
estimated OF course. Several par
ties have gone as high in guessing
as so and 100 bushels per acre, but
this The News is of the opinion is
altogether too high. What has been
said about the proper preparation of
the ground in connection with wheat
will, with equal force, apply as we'll
here as there-it all depends on the
farmer. The News estimate Of the
oat crop would be between forty and
fifty bushels per acre. The grains
not especially named are also good.
It is too early to make estimates
on other field crops.
The grass all over the county is
fine and the stages in its growth have
just been reached when stock do
their best on il.

THE PLAINS FUTURE

The Texas Plains, especially that
portion known as the Central Plains.
is just now engaging the minds OF
people throughout the United States.
The Afternoon Of the News was most
forcibly called to this fact recently
by the request OF Chicago paper
for an article about the country and
almost at the same time came a
similar request for like favor from
a publishing firm at Los Angeles,
California. A new Eldorado as il
were, land said to be flowing with
milk and.honey, has seemingly all
at once been spread before the pub
lie gaze and they want the par
ticulars.
AS were the ancient Romans in
their best republican days the
American people are progressive !;
action is born in their bones, they
want new fields TO explore and to
conquer. Such has been the case
from the very beginning ofthings on
this continent. II was this motive
that lay, back Of Daniel Boone's en-
try into the kentucky wilderness,
as some historians have it. 1t was
this spirit that prompted our grand
parents TO cross the great Father
OF Waters, the lordly Mississippi,
and trench upon the then bleak, tree
less, desolate and uninyiting prairies
of Iowa, The same incentive took
men who are now living to face the
rigors Of Nebraska winter and TO
wrestle with hot winds, grasshoppers
and starvation on the lonesome
plains of Kansas.
Forty years ago the broad Prairles
of Iowa we're practically an unknown
quantity as TO their value for mans
habitation, the lands could almost
be had for a song thirty years ago
the same could have been said of
Western Kansas, yes, less than ten
years ago Western Kansas lands
went begging at any old price-no-
body wanted them Only a few
years ago our near neighbor, Okla

New Titles and Degrees.

A London journal, in recent issue,
confers upon Mr.. Longworth and his
father-in-law the new titles which
those gentlemen are supposed to covet
by speaking of them as Senator Long
worth, son-in-law of King Theodore, U.
S. A."
Quite different was the action OF
Brown university in comforting degrees
for meritorius services upon two men
who have worked modestly and sue
cessfully for honest reform by honest
means. Never were honorary degrees
more righteously conferred than these:
Everett Colby, A. M. Citizen, soldier of
the common good, surrendering leisure
and pleasure that civic virtue may be-
come credible and public Office be held
as public trust. Charles Evans Hughes,
LII. d. Student under these elms, some
time professor of law in Cornell uni
versity, honored member of the New
York bar, investigator without malice
and without fear, skilled to use the
probe but not the rake, through whose
labor the public conscience has been
quickened and purified.
Charles E. Hughes and Everett Col
by whatever their former political as.
sociations may have been, have acted
like good Democrats and good citizens
and are entitled to share with La Fol
lette, and Cummins, and Weaver the
glory that results from a faithful per.
formance of public duty. No two men
in America have dealt severer blows tc
that Republican machine of which
King Theodore" is the head and
front.

NERVOUS PROSPERITY?
Some People Seem to Be Uneasy Be
cause the Country Is Doing
Too Well.

Nervous prosperity would seem to
be the proper diagnosis of the tariff
disturbing symptoms manifested in
various parts Of the country.
The country is doing too well.
Everybody is doing better than any
body ever did before in all history.
There must be something wrong
about it.
People who are accounted sane and
level headed in the ordinary affairs of
life are fretting and stewing about this
extraordinary prosperity, and are con-
triving how it may be upset.
If a merchant should voluntarily re-
duce his margins of profit merely be-
cause of the conviction that he was
making too much money, or If a me-
chanic were to insist upon lower wages
because his account in the savings
bank was increasing too rapidly, some
suspicion would arise as to their men
tai equilibrium.
Yet great many people are contem-
plating something similar to that ex-
traordinary abnegation when they lie
awake nights planning how to rip up
the tariff and check prosperity.
1t is queer disease and hard to
classify
1t must be that it is nervous pros
perity.

INDICATED AFTER TWELVE YEARS
Captain Dreyfus Acquitted of Charge
of Selling Military Secrets by
French Court-Restored to Army.

Paris, France.-The supreme court
Thursday announced its decision, an
nulling the condemnation of Dreyfus
without retrial. The effect of the
decision is a complete vindication of
Dreyfus. emitting him to restoration
to his rank in the army as though he
had never been accused.
The scene as the decision was pro-
nounced was one of impressive dig
nifty The court, consisting of 49 judges,
gowned in flowing robes, mounted the
bench. Deep silence prevailed as the
presiding Judge read the lengthy deci-
sion, minutely reviewing the series of
sensational events of the last Il years
and completely disculpating Dreyfus
of all wrongdoing, freeing him of the
accusation of being the author of the
famous discriminating documents on
which the entire charge was founded,
and ordering the annulment of the
RenneS court-martial.

FEAR SHIP SUBSIDY.
English Ship Owners Evinced Alarm
Over Probable Passage Of Bill
in America.

The attention of our free trade
friends is respectfully called to the fact
that certain Britons are manifesting
much apprehension over the prospec-
tive passage by congress Of the ship
subsidy bill, designed to aid in the re-
Mobilization of the American mercan-
tile marine. The plan of subsidizing
American vessels has always been
strenuously fought by free traders on
The ground that It means imposition on
our own people and injury to their in
terests. The British shipowners do not
regard the matter in that light. They
have gone so far as to lay the subject
before parliament and in the house of
commons a question has been put to
the premier as to the effect the passage
of the American bill will have upon
British interests. The premier wisely
and properly said there was no occa-
sion for the government to take action
at this stage of the proceedings, and
there the affair ends, for the present at
least, nor is it likely that anything
will be done by the imperial authori-
ties. But what a light the incident
throws on the free trade contention
that subsidizing American ships is
likely to hurt Americans! The British
shipowners, many of whom profit
greatly through the liberal subventions
of their government, know better than
that What they are afraid of is that
substituting American ships will lead to
losing a good share of the rich patron
age now enjoyed from American pas
sengers and freight shippers.
