is, that he is free from all "entangling
alliances" and is not party to any
ring, click or political faction. He
is free and unfettered from all obli-
cations and promises, and would be
governor of all Texas and not of any
particular section or political division.
And above and beyond it all Col
Miner is a man of the plain people
farmer of east Texas. While by edu-
cation and training he is equipped to
measure lances with all corners, either
on the hastings or the forum, yet he
sprang from the ranks of the lowly
and is one of their number. Cincin-
natus-like, he was called from the plow
handles to the service of his state,
and following further the example OF
the worlds most illustrious common
err, he will return to the pillow handles
when he leaves the A. & NJ. College,
il the people of Texas do not see fit
to call him to higher service.
The next governor of Texas should
be a man. Col Miner measures up
to every requirement.

OPPOSES COTTON FUTURES TAX,

The Galveston News is another Tex
os democratic paper that has gone to
the bottom of the subject Of dealing in
cotton futures, and is convinced that
future dealing is helpful to the farm
ers. in that it bouys and strength
ems the market, thereby enabling them
to secure better prices. There are
several features in the News editor
ial on the subject, that are worthy
of consideration and the Eagle re-
produces the article for the benefit
of its readers. The News says:
"The News believes that the New
Orleans Cotton Exchange does not
overstate the case in the argument
it makes against the proposal OF Sen
ator Clarke of Arkansas to tax deal
ings in cotton futures at rate that
would equal soc bale. Conceived
of a desire to promote the interest
of the cotton growers, we believe
such law would make them among
its chief victims. The effect of it
would be to prevent hedging opera.
tions, to deny hundreds and thou
sands of country merchants the OPP
portunity to enter into contracts that
operate as an insurance against fall
in prices of cotton they have on hand.
Denied this opportunity to insure
themselves, they would have to deal
on a boarder margin; that is, they
would be inclined to pay less as a
means OF safeguarding themselves
against a fall in prices which they
can insure themselves against now in
the speculative markets. So in the
end the farmer, in whose behalf this
proposal is made, would be the vic
tim of it. The Liverpool market
would still be open for hedging oper-
ations; but not many country mer-
chants could afford to avail them
selves of the facilities of that market,
so that large number of small buy
ers would be eliminated from the
market, and the large buyers, those
who could afford to hedge in Liver
pool. would be freed of this much
competition"

col. r. T. MILNER FOR GOVERNOR

The question Of successor to the
Hon. o. B. Colquitt as chief execu-
ton of Texas, is already being dis
cussed in different sections of the
State. In fact, there are already sew
eral avowed candidates, and 9th
ers who are being groomed by their
friends and who have the question
under Amusement
1t is an important matter and mat
ter that should have the most serious
and thoughtful consideration of the
people of Texas.
Just at this time there is a crisis
in the affairs of the state; many
things are in an unsettled condition,
contentious and dissentions exist and
many differences are to be adjusted
and healed. In fact Texas needs res
cuing from turmoil and strife, and
restoring to political and business
quiet and stable peace conditions
To bring about these conditions
will require, the efforts Of man. 1t
is no boys job. The people of Tex
as should make no mistake. Preju-
dices and favoritism should give. place
to patriotism, and the public welfare
should be the governing motive.
In looking over the list of announc-
ed candidates for governor. of prospec-
tive candidates, in fact the available
material in the State at large, the
conclusion irresistibly forces itself,
that the man measuring up nearer to
the high standard required, and pos
sessing more nearly the qualifications
necessary to successfully direct the af-
fairs of this great state, is Col. Robert
T. Miner.
Col Miner is man of broad and
liberal views; there is nothing little
about him. He is thoroughly posted
on the public questions and affairs
of hte day, and no man in Texas has
a keener insight into existing condi-
tions than he. He is man Of large
experience and would not go into the
governors office with narrow vision
Of the duties incumbent upon him,
nor lacking a proper appreciation of
the grave responsibilities confronting
him.
His long years as an editor and
publisher, his legislative experience,
both on the floor and as Speaker of
the House, coupled with service of
five years as President of the A. & NJ.
College, has brought him in close
touch with the people, and it is ex-
tremely doubtful if there is man in
the state who is in closer sympathy
with the people, or who comes near
er feeling their every heart throb
than Col Miner.
Another strong points in his favor

GOODBYE.
To Marie Elizabeth.


To Marie Elizabeth.
The carriage door stands open,
With kisses and goodbyes,
The toddling little youngster
Looks on with wondering eyes.
The carriage has departed.
! With wavings of the hand,
She takes the sunlight with her,
Unto the southern land.
And have you birth of sunshine,
oh land OF fragrant flowers
That she must stay to light your day,
Alas! and darken ours?
The lights are in the parlor,
Yet can scarcely see,
For ! am thinking Of her,
Her last goodbye to me.
No dolls are on the carpet,
No crumbs are on the floor,
And everything in order,
Just like 1t was before.
I'd rather see confusion,
(This orders quite bore)
With all her playthings scattered
Upon the parlor floor.
Her little swing is empty,
And likewise is her cot,
The chickens are delighted,
Because she runs them not.
Sweetheart, the days are dreary
Because we miss you SO,
But when you come next Junetime,
Well never let you go.

quickly abandoned that plan, however,
when RaduIski reminded him that he

Doing the Chores

The boy helped to plant fifty apple
trees. beginning next month the
borers must be hunted" said the
father. "How often? How long?"
asked the boy. "Once a month dur
ing the open seasons-for years. I'm
going to leave it to you" Kneeling
or half lying for hours in the rot
ting mulch, the boy dug and cut and
wired out the small enemies-for
years. He found that once a week
was necessary in some periods. Boys
went by to base ball and swimming.
They called cheerily across the creek
lot. but neither side spoke of his
quitting to go. 1t was one of his
chores. The new orchard was out
of sight of the house. But letting a
row go till next month, on bad days
when ice storms were slanting in,
did not occur to him. Many times
he left tree and a big rOot-chan-
nelling borer, his staying power all
drained out through his sore fingers,
but came back the next day and the
next. 1t was his chore. When the
orchard was well into bearing and
pride. a windstorm destroyed two
