MR. LOVING'S DREAM.
The Denver Stockman springs a new
Idea relative to the Loving syndicate.
It bas been generally supposed in
Texas that the men selling their
ranches and herds to the syndicate
would eitLer receive in payment there-
for stock in the new corporation and
become stockholders therein or retire
from the cattle business. The Stock-
man does not look upon the deal in
that way but figures out that the sell-
ers will receive money for the goods
they deliver and at once re-engage in
the stock business. That paper says:
"Mr. Loving the promoter of the
big Texas cattle and ranch syndicate
is reported to be en route to New York
to close up his deal. Its accomplish-
ment means the immediate possession
of $25000000 to $30000000 by Texas
etockmen and they being stockmen
and knowing no other good use for
their money than stock business will
again invest in stock and ranches in
Texas and increase Texas' fame &s the
greateet live stock state in the union."
Should this prove to be the case and
the promoters of the Loving scheme
be aware of it there is a strong prob-
ability that It would militate great-
ly against the consummation of the.
big deal for notwithstanding the many
assertions that this va3 not to be a
trust the fact remain9 that to succeed
the syndicate must be largely able to
control the cattle business in the
southwest and it would hardly appre-
ciate the fact that the men whose
ranches and herds it had just purchas-
ed would reinvest the money received
therefor in the same business and at
once become competitors as it were
of the men to whom they had just sold
out.
There might be danger to the suc-
cess of the syndicate in this the Fort
Worth Register points out but for the
fact that there is a demand for two or
three times the number of cattle now
in sight. There is room for expansion
In the cattle business in Texas and an
inflow of capital in the industry will be
welcomed but to look at it from the
view of the Stockman the syndicate
will not be pleased with the prospect
of turning its own capital into a direct
line of competition with itself but that
is just what would be best for
Texas.
So long sn there is a vestige of com-
petitioa left no business can be turned
into a trust and that there will be
competition in the stock business in
Texas is surer than that theiewill be
a trust.
THE OPEN DOOR IN CHINA.
Momeotaus indeed is Secretary Hay's
announcement that he has received
favorable replies from all the powers
approached in the matter of the open
door in China. Great Britain (except
Hong Kocer owned by England in per
petuity and a free port) has given as-
Bent and so have Germany Russia
France Italy and Japan each with
the kindest assurance of friendly good
will.
This agreement brought about by
the diolomatic efforts of President
McKinley and Secretary Hay reflects
credit upon the administration and will
be recorded as one of the great diploma-
tictriumpbs of thecentury. In its effect
upon the commerce of the United
States and China it is an arrangement
of tremendous significance but its in
fluence will extend even farther than
that. It has been assumed with reason
that China will be in less danger of
dismemberment under this agreement
and that danger of a great European
war for the partition of the empire has
been at least postponed.
Each of the nations named agrees to
respect the treaty richts of the others
and of the United States with China.
In other words no sphere of influence
shall debar our merchants from regions
to which they have access under
treaties with China. We had been
asked to help ourselves to a "sphere of
Influence" in China but our govern-
ment was too wise to be tempted into
such a dangerous arrangement. As a
result of this refusal our "sphere" of
commercial influence is to extend over
the whole empire.
As to the possibilities and probabil
ities of increasing American trade with
China there are signiGcant figures In a
recent report 4of the Inspector-general
of customs of China. While China's
trade with nearly all the rest of the
world showed a Blight decrease in 1898
as compared with .1897 the United
States exhibited an Increase of more
than 40 percent.
There Is a great deal of wisdom in
the following paragraph from the Dal-
as News:
There is every prospect that Mr.
Bryan will be nominated for the presi
dency by the democrats and that Mr.
McKinley will be nominated by the
republicans. What the platform of
the two parties will be is about as well
settled as the matter of nominees.
Then why should anv one speod any
time on politics? Ninety-nine in a
hundred Texans have already made up
their minds. Every one knows this to
be true and being true now is the
time for Texas to bend all her energies
toward her development In the way of
mills and factories. The eyes of the
world are on her as a place for the
profitable employment of capital.
The matter is with the people. If
they will turn to their own affairs they
will be surprised at the end of the year
over what they have done.
But wise as the words are the great
Texas citizen will have to leave the
plow and the wheel occasionally to
ri Je down to the store and talk politics.
Orderly Texas will read with eur-
prise that thero have been so many
hold-ups of women in Chicago that
twenty women some of whom live in
the 'fashionable apartment houses have
bought revolvers and practice daily in
a 6hooting gallery. Many women have
been set upon and robbed on their way
home from elevated railway stations
after nightfall and recently one wo
man was attacked justassbe was going
into the apartment house in which she
lives. The residents of the district de
cided that the time had come to take
action and at a meeting it was voted
that the women should buy firearms
and learn how to use them. When
the women have hit the bullseye In
the shooting gallery a sufficient
number of times tbey will begin to
practice on the thugs. The fathers
husbands and brothers of the women
are said to be in hearty accord with the
plan.
The present hiyh price of lumber
and its future scarcity has caused
architects to study how to build with
the use of the least possible lumber.
If Texas can get her Iron resources de
veloped so as to get cheap metal lath
ing for partition walls &he bas an in-
exhaustible supply of plaster and lime
material. Texas also has enough fine
granite brick clay and sand and lime-
stone to do her buildings for one
thousand years to come. She has
many untouched foreste out of which
to get what little framing timber
will be needed when the architects get
done figuring how to do without it.
Texas in fact is all right whatever
may come.
The report of casualties in the war
in South Africa published in the Her-
ald yesterday showed that the Irish
regiments had suffered the most se-
verely. No part of the British army
has distinguished itself more greatly in
the present war than the Irish contin-
gent. No better or faster fighters
have appeared upon the scene of ac-
tion than General Kelly-Kenny whose
name sufficiently indicates his racial
origin. Roberts and Kitchener are
both Irishmen ar-d at the top of the
world's list of contemporaneous com-
manders. The march of the British to Bicem-
fontein is over a treeless plaieau about
4000 to 4500 feet above the sea. There
is little water found along the direct
route. The distance from Kitr oerley
to Bloemfoctein is 87 miles and from
Paarde Drift to Bloemfontein it is
about 50 miles. The natural order of

and Bloemfontein is wholly a pastoral

Corpus Christi has already com
menced the shipment of cabbage to the
northern markets by the trainload.
In a short time will come garden truck
and finally the watermelons. Last
year over a million of watermelons
were shipped to the northern cities.
This year the trade in early vegetables

ever before.
The information comes fromTacoma
that wool growers of South Dakota
Wyoming Utah Washington Mon
tana and Colorado are combining
themselves into an association to maic-
ttin prices and protect their mutual
interests.
The facts that the Russian govern
ment has just negotiated a loan in New
York City to the extent of $25000000
affords an impressive illustration
of the degree to which the United
States has achieved its financial inde
pendence.
The anti-imperialists and the antl-
expaneionlBts continue to meet and de-
uouoca both imperialism and expan
sion. Now that the buds are expand
ing in imperial Texas they may move
their forces to the southwest.
Kentucky has given public notice
that she wants no more twins in her

There ares no bands in the Boer

The Man With the Hoe.
ttiwin MarKbam was criticised by t
Times-Herald of Chicago for first iden-
tifying Abraham Lincoln with ''the
mau with the hoe" and then exulting
in his triumphant labors as a etateman
and patriot. The close of the birthday
"ode" this critic suggests entirely
ignores the purport of its opening ver-
ses. "For if its deadly pessimistic
philosophy were true and its subject
were a universal type then the rail
splitter must always have remained a
rail 6plitter. He must perforce have
been dull stupid apathetic and inca-
pable of development 'stolid and stun-
ned a brother of the ox.' And
when his brutil forces were finally
aroused
When the Jstep of earthquake shook
the house
Wreoching the rafters from their
ancient hold
what could have been expected of him
according to the poet's own formula
except that he should aid in the work
of de-truction?" Marlcham's "Man
With the Hoe" Is plainly at war w.th
the "Ode" but the second poem
breathes the better philosophy the
progress of man ia its tribute to
Lincoln's rise and growth. The New
York Times supplements the Cbloago
piper's criticism by asking Mr. Mark-
bam"how he kunwH 'that the man with
the hoe' may not b developed by cir-
cumstances Into a higher condition as
well as into a lower one." The poet-
professor has given no answer and
will of course be unable to offer con-
vincing response ia face of the world's
knowledge of the sure progress and
development of man.
