The Fort Worth Gazette has all
along been a pood paper, but since
the re-organization of its manage-
ment it shows evidence of decided
improvement, and is now a hummer.
Bi.aine says he is in the race for
President. Nobody ever doubted it
and the Banner believes that he and
Cleveland will be the nominees of
the democrat and republican par-
ties.
Senator Frank, of the Weather-
iord district, has at last declared in
favor of Chilton for the United
Stat s Senate, and gives as his rea-
son 'hat he does not want to slap
Gov. Hogg in the face, notwith-
standing that four-fifths of the peo-
ple people of that District are in fa-
vor of Mills. The Weatherford En-
quirer after a considerable roasting
says that he should rather not want
to slap so large a percentage of his
constituents in the face.
THE EACtLE
In the District composed of Palo
Pinto. Hood, Erath, Somervell,
Hamilton and Coryell counties, ac-
cording to the Weatherford En-
quirer, there are a number of patri-
ots willing to sacrifice themselves
upon the alter of their country and
become Judge of the District.
There are already no less than five
prospective candidates for the posi-
tion and two of the counties, com-
posing it Dot heard from.

It is a striking and not a|pleasant
contrast says the Times-Democrat
that while the South and West have
both raised the largest, or almost
the largest, crops of their great
staple, cottoa for the former, grain
i n the latter, they produced exactly
con1 rary results. Although the grain
yieid was immense, wheat has com
mauded the highest price known for
years, and as a result brought the
\V estern farmers so much money
that most of them were able to free
themselves from mortgages. It is a
golden agricultural era m all tl at
section, and the spirit of d> presssioi
which formerly prevailed there has
been transferred to the Soiuh.
Here a big crop of cotton has had
just the opposite efi'.et, and has al-
most carried ruin to tl e farmers who
raised it. The cultivation of cotton
is different from that of grain, in
this that no matter how little the
staple brings the cost of raising it
remains unchanged, for the pickers
insist oi- aud get as much. An at-
tempt was mude this season. it?k
true, io cut down the pay of the
pickers, but it failed: and in conse-
quence of this and of the high price
of provisions during the season, the
cotton crop just harvested was one
of the most expensive grown, yet has
brought the smallest return in
money. There has been an actual
aud positive loss on the part of many
formers a loss which they cannot
stand many seasons without
plete ruin.
The price that grain brings is de
pendent on many accidents, mainly
a failure of crops elsewheiv. whereas
in the matter of cotton the Southern
farmers are so situated that thov can
easily regulate the price. They mo
nopoh;e cotton growing; know just
how mach is needed, and, knowing
this, by growing that amount or I
little less, the> can assure a good re-
turn. No country is better situated
to make money from its crops than
the South with its great staple. We
know what ought to be done, how it
can be done, and what the effect will
be; and. l:uo,7ing this, if we can only
reach an agreement, the cotton crop
\ ill be one of the most profitable
grown, not one b t every seasou
Wo have liad experience enough to
show us the necessity of some vigor
ouh action. Again we say, the South
has the whole matter in its bands, if
it can only solve the problem—which
soght not to be so very difficult—of
keeping cotton/production within the
limits of the demand.
Kussell Sage is losser anyway. A
crank demanded $200,000 or his life,
and as he had rather give up his
life or at least, take the chances of
giving it up, he held a clerk between
himself and the impending doom,
and now the clerk wants a $100,000
damages, and if he gets it it will
kill Sage, so he might as well have
been killed by the crank at first and
been over with it.
It has been intimated that Gen.
Sandoval was helping Garza in his
revolution down on the llio Grande.
Sandoval had a little experience
down there year before last that
ought perhaps, to somewhat restrain
hiiji in his revolutionary tendencies,
but he is a born revolutionist, with
a supreme contempt for President
Diaz, and would, though ambitious
to lead perhaps with any hope of
success play second fiddle to Garza.

-- For a year my health had been falling. I
lost flesh and strength. My weight decreased
from 180 lbs. to 148 lbs. I suffered excruciat-
ing pain in my back and iolns, and rheu-
matism in my loft leg made mo a cripple.
I was advised to try Dr. Bull's Sarsaparflla,
and used in all about ten bottles. From the
start I gained in flesh and improved inevery
way. Now as;ain I feel once more myself.
I sinceri-ly believe it saved my life."
