Taking it for granted that demo-
cratic principles are right we sug-
gest that Taylor county democrats
keep their rampiires brightly
burning and make themselves
ready for a brisk campaign should
it become necessary. In other
words organize and uphold the"
principles we have been contend-
ing for these thirty years.

Texan World' Fair.
The Texas World's Fair Exhibit
Association the headquarters of
which are located in Fort Worth
are perfecting an extensive organ-
ization throughout the state the
object beiug to raise the necessary
funds for having Texas properly
represented at the Worlds Colum
bian Exposition at Chicago in 1803. !
The Association has up to the
present time sent out over 20.000
pieces of mail from the Fort
Worth office including letters to
the prominent and influential citi-
' zens of the State. Countv Judtres.

with the view of enlisting a
through and wide spread interest
in the enterprise. Already one
hundred and twenty counties have
organized by the appointment of
executive committees created by
the County Judges. The County
Judee8 r ever' onnly in the
State have been requested to name
committees of active workers to
see that their counties are proper-
ly represented in the Texas LSxhib
it and the above named number
of counties include all that have i
'so far responded. The commit-' "The Columbian Exposition of-
. tees in those counties have been fers the opportunity of making
commissioned and requested to
organize at once and proceed
with the work of aiding in the con-
struction of the Texas building at
Chicago the site for which has al-
ready been allotted and i. one of
tho most desirable on the grounds.
Besides this the school teachers
throughout the State aro being or-
ganized for active work in the
schools in competition for the
handsome prizes that are offered
by tho Association for the schools
and individual scholars accom-
plishing the best results in secur-
ing subscriptions. These prizes
i embrace a four years scholarship
in any university in America that
the boy and girl may name who
succeeds in raising the most
money for tho Texas building and
Exhibit and free trips to Chicago
during the World's Fair for the su
perintendent in whose district the
most money is raised and for the'hibit was added to the list as well
teacher in each of the eleven con-
gressional districts whose school
shows the be6t average result in
the way of collecting funds.
What is now wanted is money
to arrange for exhibits but the
niouey must be raised at once for
the construction of the: building
which is to be coinpletejd bj Oct.
I1S92 and without which Texas will;
not be represented at tho Colum-
bian Exposition.
Xo county in the State failing
to contribute towards the enter -
prise will be given space in tlio
Texas building and those contri-
buting will be allotted space i
proportion to the amount Hnb -
scribed.
The question for present Consid-
eration is can Texas afford to be
a laggard in this important under-
taking? Can she afford consider-
ing the small outlay that will be
required a tax of about 15 cents
per capita upon her population
provided they could all be reached
to remain inactive while other1

states by being represented at the
PhilAdelphiu Centennial afford to
neglect the coming opportunity to
place herself thoroughly abreast
with the more enterprising and
progressive states in" the Union.
The people of Texas through
their representatives at two state
conventions have answered this
question in the negative and have
emphasized the fact tlat Texas
must be represented in this grand
competition of states and the leg-
islature not seeing its way cleat-
through constitutional inhibition
to appropriate money for the pur-
pose the work must be done by
private enterprise backed by the
personal energy and liberality of
the SUtes's patriotic citizens
The work has been anspicipusly
begnn. Thorough organization is
now being perfected and to the
liberal patriotic aid of the r-itizens
of the greatest commonwealth that
will be represented at the World's
Fair must we now look to have
the enterprise so auspiciously
begun carried to a successful
culmination.
Ours is a state that challenges
comparison let us throw down
the gauntlet at Chicago.
Despite the present financial
depression Texas is rich in the
fullness of her resources : let us
make the fact kuown. She is
ripe for competition and compar-
ison. With a soil capable of pro-
ducing in the same fields the
cereals of the north and the cot-
ton of the south' with 40000000
acres of timber land that grow!
pine and hard woods side by side : .
pastures upon which millions of
cattle herd the year round : depos.
its of mineral and coal the extent!
i
of which are even unknown to our
own people yet these facts and j
many more are unknown to tho
people of the north and need but
to be advertised to attract the
attention of the homeseeker whom
we desire to invite to a field un-
paralleled lor the investment of
money muscles brain and brawn.
these advantages known and to
tho prosperous patriotic thrifty
and enterprising people of Texas
the appeal is made to assist the
movement organized for the pur-
jKe of Witting th world know
Texas is not only an empire in ex-j
tent but an entire continent in herj
boundless resources.
Texas Exhibit Cars.
