THE CROP PROSPECTS.
—The Texas Leader, which
always leads, even though it
has to go in the wrong direction
in order to do so, is clamorous
for uickles. Nickles are handy
to have now that beer is only a
nickle a glass. But it there is
to be an inflation of any partic-
ular denomination of hard raon
ey, we would suggest as a sub-
titute for the Leaders nickle,
the old Democratic half-dollar,
with the eagle and Goddess oi
Liberty on it. They are more
troublesome to carry, but they
jiugle louder.

—The financial condition of
the United States from the
foundation of the government
to the year 1862 was better than
any other nation on the face of
the earth. For the space of
lull three-fourths of a century it
made the most wonderful strides
in every department of trade,
and added continually to its
greatness commercially, socially,
morally and politically. The
masses were happy, and were,
as yet, untouched by destruct-
tive taxes of any kind. Indus-
try was unshackled, prosperity
was widespread, and wealth
was fairly distributed through-
out the four sections of the
country. Under Democratic
rule no public debt was ever
dreamed ot; but as soon as the
government changed hands and
its fundamental principles were
revolutionized, just so soon the
energies of the producing class
began to be depressed, and in-
dustry was crippled in all its
departments. The great calam
ityr of a public debt began to
fasten its fangs upon the vitals
of the uation, and we have gone
on continually from bad to
worse. Is it not about time we
were returmug to the princi-
ples which, for so long a time,
made us so prosperous, great
and happy ?
STATE ITEMS.
I^cver, in the history ot Tex-
as, has the outlook for an abun-
dant crop of every product
which cau be grown iu the soil,
been more flattering and en-
couraging. The grasshoppers
which, for a time, hung like an
impending menace over the
wheat fields, have taken wings
flown away, leaving but
fafpt reminders of their pres-
ence. In this connection we
may say that their ravages in
Texas have always been greatly
exaggerated. Occasionally they
destroy a wheat field, and a
great hue and cry is raised
agaiust them, and the changes
are rung upon :t far and near by
interested parties actuated by
selfish motives. The damage
done by them is not greater than
is done by a simple rain or wind,
and not as much as by a hail-
storm. The crops are usually
too far advanced to be injured,
before the hoppers are large
enough to do any damage.
The. present crop of wheat
bids fair to excel the famous
crop of 1875, which yielded an
average ofi* about twenty-seven
bushels to the acre. The most
experienced farmers put the
average yield for this year at
thirty bushels, while occasional-
ly an enthusiastic, sanguine
Granger estimates it as high as
thirty five bushels.
The crop of oats and barley
is equally good. The latter will
not yield as heavily as last y ear,
which was as high as one hun-
dred and ten bushels per acre in
some fields.
The corn crop is unusually
promising. The planting season
wras propitious, and the seed
was planted in good time and
in good order. The stand is
good, the plant healthy and the
promise of a good yield encour-
aging. There is still a large
quantity of last year’s corn in
the county, so that we may ex-
pect a short price, which will
justify the producer in feeding
liberally, and will inure to the
benefit of the immigrant, who is
usually compelled to buy his
provision as well as seed the
first 3-ear.
The price of wheat bids fair
to be good. The preseut price
is two dollar and twenty-five
cents, and as high as one dollai
and seventy five cents has been
offered for the new crop.
The cotton crop is not yet far
enough advanced to be able to
form a correct estimate of th
yield. The stand is good and
the plant iu a healthy condition.
The yield is always good, and
averages about three-quarteis ot
a bale per acre. This sectioi
of Texas is the only one on tin
globe that can raise cotton equal
to- Louisiana and better wheat
ihan any of the Western States.
The cattle have come through
the winter in good order and
condition, and those who have
spent the winter on the prairies
are in good condition for beef
No other State in the Union can
make the same exhibit.
The outlook is indeed very eu-
eouT.agiqg, and the present year
will be one of almost unexam-
pled prosperity.

The Leader complains of the
aumerons dogs in the city’ of
Graham.
A woman in Dallas has had
her husband arrested for break-
ing into her room and stealing
her money.
Dr. Young, who visited McKin-
ney in the cause of Local Option,
did not pay his hotel bill, and
the whiskey'- men stepped tor-
ward and paid it.
The cityr of Waco has passed
an ordinance requiring the labor
of a man six days upon the pub
lie highways of the city as an
equivalent for privileges of citi-
zenship.
Constable Forshee, of Cooke
county’, in endeavoring to arrest
a man named McDonald had his
horse shot, and the party he de-
sired to ariest ‘‘lit out.”
The first number of Street's
Daily Neics made its appearance
at Waco on the 5th inst. It
piesents a creditable appearance
in every department.
Parties from St. Louis have
made arrangements to erect a
cotton compress in Texarkana,
which will cost between $40,000
and $60,000. The company will
urnish one half the means, and
the two railroads and the peo-
ple of the city will furnish the
other half.
The first wedding ever cele
brated in Graham City was sol-
emnized last week; Mr. S. B.
Wad ley and Miss Sallie Burkett
being the high contracting par-
ties. The Leader speaks of the
occasion as a biilliant one, and
wishes the loving couple a pros
perous voyage down the stream
of life.
Last evening a representative
of the Gazette called to see bis
old friend, Mark Twain, at Guy’s
Hotel. Conversation turned on
the war in Europe. Clemens
had “been there;” is on terms of
familiarity with all the crowned
heads, and seemed to feel pained
that lie had not been personally*
advised that the Czar would so
soon throw off his coat. “I think
Nick, might have notified me—
by’cable, at his own expense—so
that I might have been on the
ground floor. See what a clever
turn 1 could have made in grain.
I’m strongly tempted to get a
sntlership in the Turkish army
and wreak my vengeance on the
bear.”
“Do you think Russia will
move first on Silistria or Kala-
fat?”
“Well, Nicholas is a long-
headed man, but if he doesn’t
keep a sharp lookout all his fat
will be in the fire. But I can’t
keep the run of the movements
by the cable despatches. Can’t
locate the places on the map. I
read that the Russians will move
from Krackyourjawoff via Bully-
boyyouknow onto (Jrushemalli-
bet. Then I look on my Euro-
pean map and I don’t find the
places. A European map is like
a blackboard with nothing on it,
leaving the industrious student
of contemporaneous history to
fill in the outlines. The hard
part of it is that they’ll go on
fighting just as though good
maps were to be had for the ask-
ing.”
“Mr. Clemens, I think you are
too severe on the map-makers.
The Evening Bugleblast, of this
city*, to-day* publishes a most
carefully prepared and reliable
map of the seat of war. 1 have
a copy of it here-
“Well, I’m sorry for y ou, old
fellow, I didn’t know that a
strong cigar would affect you
that way. You’ve got ’em on
you bad. Why, that’s a map of
the St. Louis hotel in ruins.”
From the war in Europe to
the rumpus in the Black JHills
was an easy turn.
“Having high times in the
Hills, Mr. Clemens?”
“Yes; and I tell yTou my heart
bleeds for the poor prospector.
There may be gold there—I sup-
pose there is—bid there isn’t
the big money we hear ot. The
men who dig gold out of the
Bjack Hills have got to work for
it and earn it. The glitter gets
into print; the tales ol hardships
and bitter disappointment don’t.
When a man comes in and tells
about rich fiuds, you must stop
to consider what sort of a man
he is. If he had been making a
dollar or two a day and hits on
ten in the diggings, he thinks
he’s struck a iortunc, and it isn’t
a bad thing; but a man with a
goad situation, a paying busi-
ness, or a thriving farm, had
better keep down to his work.
Tue average man would do bet-
ter to dig for clams than to go
hunting for gold in the Hills.
But speaking of mining and get-
ting in big licks, iu the best days
of California mining the best of
it wasn’t worth more than $200
a day to any digger. Now a mau
would have to hammer away for
some time before he could make
a fortune even at that and there
were not many' who struck it
that rich. The best paying min-
ing is in the ‘pockets,’ and out-
side of Calaveras county, Cali-
fornia—Jackass Gulch and Jack-
ass Hill—there’s no other pock-
et mining in the world. By the
way, the scene of our new play-
Bret Harte’s and mine—is in
Calaveras county. There is no
other place that would justify
‘Ah Sin’ in picking out such a
mass of metal.”
“Of course you think you’ve
struck it in ‘Ah Sin.’ ”
“Weil, that remains to be seen,
You can’t tell anything about a
play until you see it played. We
know we’ve got a good charac
ter in All Sin; wi ether it is in
the right setting is another mat-
ter. We’ve put good work on
the play. It may have to be
pruned, but we expect to make
it go. You know we are rehears-
ing it at Ford’s Opera House
now, and it promises well, but
the test will come when we put
it before an audience. We bring
it out in Washington on the 7th
of May, and open in Baltimore
oti the 14th.”
The reporter had something
less than half a mile of questions
wherewith to rack Mr. Clemens’
brain, but lie did all the talking,
and the renorter had to give him
respectful audience. Mr. Clem-
ens saw a way out of the diffi-
culty.
“Just say that you asked me
the questions and I couldn’t an-
swer them.”—Baltimore Gazette.
