There are several hundred men
in Jaok county who could take
more or less stock in a cotton
mill, and this would do more tr
kelp the general prosperity of the
couuty than almost aay othei
ery encouragement, at the time
possible to the enterprise, and
appointed a special committee for
further action as events should
warrant. • • As railroads go,
Jacksboro was a part of the wil-
derness for a long, long time; but
seems to have been observant all
this while—to have noted that the
way to individual success is the
upbuilding of a line community
and that this last can come only
by exercise of energy and unity
of action. At Jacksboro, the
‘ tide in the affairs of men ’ is be-
ing ‘ taken at the fl ml,’ and indi-
vidually and collectively her cit-
izens are led on to fortune. An
example is being furnished down
there amongst the woods and
perpendicular landscapes that
may be emulated with profit in
other localities we wot of.”

Jack County Fanners and a
Cotton Mill.
It has beer suggested at differ-
ent times by different men that
the Gazette agitate the building
of a cotton mill at J*ck*horo. It
is an enterprise in which *11 cUsses
should be interested. A few.con-
’end that it is too great au under-
raking, some said eighteen months
igo an oil mill was too much for
facksboro, yet the oil mill is here.
On the first page of this paper
will be found an article from the
pen of Ool. J. B. K'llebrew in
Manufacturers Record, which ev-
ery capitalist, basiness mm and
f*rmer in Jack county should
read carefully and study it thor-
tughly. What Col. Kill«*brew says
if the South may be well said of
lack county. He wisely says to en-
courage and promote agriculture
done, without reference to the
sowuiercial and manufacturing
interests, will be virtually not to,
enconrage it at all. To promote
nothing but agriculture makes
farmers competitors of one anoth-
er ; to grow more products than cm
be sold is wasted work ; to doub-
le the products of the farm, with-
out providing markets for them
is like erecting houses without
a prospect for tenants. The high-
est wisdom, therefore, suggests
the policy of increasing the nam-
in' of productive consumers who
will engage in the manufacture of
-<ach articles as the farmers need,
and who will exchange these arti-
cles for the products of the farm.
This policy will give constant
nsrkets to the farmer and to the
manufacturer without the inter-
vention of anyone. * * * *
“ Prolmbly it has never occurred
co a majority of farmers that these
sorporate powers enable persons
if small means to compete with
those of large means. Fur in-
stance, a thousand farmers in a
■given locality, with $100 each,
may establish a factory in their
neighborhood with a capital of
$100,000. The investment of their
uoney in this way does not pot in
hazard their whole property, bot
inly that which is invested in the
corporation. Operating under
corporate powers, a factory ob-
tains a perpetuity of power, and
s not dissolved by reason of the
leath of any one of its atockhold-
r«. Such factories located in
-very farming community would
<lve employment to many of the
dependent members of a funily
and make them bear a proportion
of the family expenses. As an il-
uatration, take those points in the
louth where the largest number
if cotton manufactories are in
iperatiou, and it w ill be seen that
r.he farmers ia their vicinity have
increased in prosperity with an
equal step with the growth of
cottOD manufactories. ”
The farmers of Jack county
should study this matter thorough-
ly. If a cotton mill was established
it Jacksboro where there can be
had the most beautiful location
an with dnfailing supply of pure
water and cheap fuel, such an in-
dustrial ^enterprise wogld be of
vast importance to the farmers of
Tack and adjoining counties.
ColKillebrew uontinues:
“If there is one thing morn than
another that the people of the
South should ftudy aud reflect
upon by day and by night, »t, is
low to increase the proffts of ag-
give employment to the largest
possible number of people. Sta-
tistics show that comparing the
minufaoturing with the agricult-
ural States, the value per capita
of agricultural products of the
farm in the former is $330, while
the value per capita of agricu’t-
ural States is only 204. This
arises from two causes—first, that
the per cent of workers in the
manufacturing States is 40 per
cent, while in the agricultural
States it is only 31 per cent, and,
second, because the markets fur-
nished by a minufacturing center
give more thatK double the prof-
its on agricultural prodacts th in
the markets that may be reached
in a strictly agricultural commu-
nity. Every sound principle of
political economy, every incent-
ive to prosperity and every dic-
tate of sonnd business judgment
deman is that farmers, above ev-
ery other class in the South,
should lend their aid to the fos-
tering of manufacturing enter-
prises at home. Tais can only be
done through establishments cre-
ated and run by corporate pow-
When capitalists once under-
stand that they will receive tbe
full support aud encouragement
of the home people it is not diffi
cult to obtain money to establish
worthy enterprises. Read Ool.
Ktllebrew’a dosing paragraph :
“Every fanner should encourage
manufactories and their allies, the
railroads. He should encourage
them to originate in his communi
ty; he should spend a part of his
means to establish them firmly.
In this way he will create a per
petnil maiket for his products:
he wilt diversify the employment
of labor in his community; he
will insure,a choice of occupations
for his children ; he will build me
a lasting prosperity in bis comma
nity; he will keep his money ai
borne and place bimsdf in th<
highway of the world’s progress.
In that be will display sound
logic and sound statesmanship.”
A cotton mill at Jacksboro
would create a good and stable
market for all -farm products of
whatsoever nature or name from
the largest beef steer and cotfot
bale to the smallest vegetables
This home market produces
a diversity in crops, which in
creases the profits of the farmer,
and this diversity springs as read
iiy from the presence of mannfact
uring establishments as fruit*
come from blossoms.
Railroad Situation.
The Rtilway Journal of Sf.
Louis says editorially : “ It is un-
derstood that at the forthcoming
session of the Texas legislature a
measure will be introduced to
amend the law creating the Texas
railway commission, so as to place
sleeping and palace car compa-
nies under the jurisdiction of the
commission. Such a bill is also
reported to come before the leg
islature of another state. Tnese
steps bear out the idea advanced
by the Biilway Journal in a pre
vious issue: that is, that the peo-
ple begiu to feel that sleeping car
privileges are out of proportion
to regular passenger rates aud that
some remedy should be resort
ed to in order to secure a redac-
tion in the prices of sleeping car
berths. There is no question but
that if a more moderate price was
charged for such privileges many
of the roads would be compelled
to haul a less number of empty
sleeping cars at a dead expense
to the railroad company. Not
only the traveling public, but also
the railway companies are impor-
posed upon in a measure by the
excessive charges exacted by the
Pullman and Other sleeping car
companies. If railway and ex-
press companies should have
their rates fixed by the railway
commissions, why should not oth-
er companies that ape common
carriers come under the same
jurisdiction 1 ”
St. Louis Republic: Commis-
sioner Long&treet’s annual report
ou the condition of the railroads
of the United States describes
these properties as being in a
very encouraging eonditjon.
Within the past two years, he
says, the railroad situation has
shown a marked improvement all
along the lino. He emphasizes
tk® following points in his report:
the $a«e time The pfyjupal condition of oar
roads is, generally, better than
ever before ; railroad properties
are now paying dividends on their
preferred stock and piling np sur-
pluses for distribution among
common stockholders—roads
which two or three years ago
were in the hands of receivers ; a
number of roads whioh were
forced to reduce salaries in ’93
have voluntarily restored the o’d >
basis of wages.
General Longstreet predicts that
if present conditions continue for
another year the list of insolvent
roads will be as small as it was
six years ago. Receivers, four
years ago, controlled 210 roads in
the United States. Only 119 are
now in the hands of this class of
administrators, with excellent
prospect of the number diminish-
ing considerably* within the com-
ing twelvemonth.
General Longstreet introduces
controversial element into his
report by recommending that the
government build an air line from
Kansas City to S in Diego to meet
the growing demands of our Pa-
cific trade. This recommenda-
tion is no doubt sincere, but after
the experience the people have
had with the Union Pacific it is
doubtful whether a proposal to
embark the government again in
the railroad business, either as
*ole owner or partner, would re-
ceive popular indorsement.

The cat’s ont of the bag. The rat has
escaped from* the mead tnb. The Senu-
gambiau protrudes his head from the
wood pile. The milk in the cocoanut has
been discovered. We ucrw know “where
we are at" and understand onr mission
in life. The wist has rolled away, and
there is a huge rent in the clouds which
have enveloped us. “Our manifest des-
tiny" is settled at last. Lyman J. Gage
opened his mouth and spoke at Savan-
nah. and jince the art of oratory was
first practiced among men no snch “eye
opener" has fallen from human tongue.
Inter alia, Lyman said:
If 8,000.000 of people in southern seas, so rude
be not to use Ixbuteads. or so poor as not to be
aMs to buy tlieta, can, by the stimulating in-
fluence of civilisation be brought to desire and
acquire them, 'by so much our problem la
solved.
There it is I Weave to maintain a
huge standing army, keep np a navy
equal to Great Britain’s, grind down
the taxpayers and pile up a great bond-
ed debt for the purpose of inducting
8,000,000 of people in southern seas in-
to the detectable jBfformance of sleep-
ing on bedsteads—a species of furniture
which their ancestors clear back to
Adam have eschewed. Bui suppose they
elect to adhere to their primitive, abo-
riginal customs and stubbornly, trea-
sonably and violently refuse Lyman’s
educational theories as to bedsteads and
adhere tp their hereditary habit of sleep-
ing on the ground, what then? There ia
only one thing left to be done and that
is for President McKinley to issue a
ukase requiring all the south sea island-
ers to provide themselves with bedsteads,
and to lie upon them, and if they still
refuse send the regular army to lasso
thorn, and when caught forcibly strap
them on to the beds as patients are
strapped to surgeons’ tables. Bat tfiil
heroin treatment would violate the
Declaration of Independence, which in-
forms us that among man’s inalienable
rights is “the pursuit of happiness."
Certainly every man (and woman, too)
has the right to pursue bis own happi-
ness in his own way sd long as he does
not injure or harrass others. That much
is clear. Now, it may be true—perhaps
is true—that these south sea islanders
whom we are about to purchase from
Spain at $3 per head can extract more
happiness from sleeping on the ground
than they could on a royal bed with
bedposts 20 feet high, silk curtains,
downy pillows, etc., and I submit that
if they prefer to woo Morpheus by nes-
tling their heathen pates on the bosom
of old Mother Earth that even the sec-
retary of the treasury has no right to
say them “nay.”
Lyman should ruminate upon the
great truth voiced by a celebrated poet
in these words: “Where ignorance is
bliss, ’tis folly to be wise.” Forcing
our newly acquired fellow citizens—
acquired at $3 per bead—to recline £heir
supple forms on bedsteads would be only
the beginning of the curtailment of their
pursuit of happiness; for if Lyman
should fie permitted to fin that, fie might
be emboldened to compel tfiem fo wear
pantaloons and to cease from fheecstatiq
performance pf eating each other— the
latter being pot only,their greatest hap-
piness, but their most fieneficjal acf.
Surely Lyman would not be so cruel ail
thaf. fie might as well think of de-
priving g New Englander of his codfish
or a Iteutnckiai) of his morning and even-
ing ’’appetizer." Even PPnI(l
pot gaze unmoved upon the tears—hot,
scalding, burning tears of rage and de-
epafo^-gnsbing from the 18,000,000
eyes asd down the 16,600,060 cheeks of
the 8,006,000 south sea jglapders—ouy

There ere inkstands and inkstands.
In one of the earliest of these letters I
described Mr. Attorney Genera) Griggs’
fJuOnplate dinner That was the event
of that season—the culinary marvel of
all the ages. I aw now about to m>
balm in <afid type, for the benefit pf foe

tury. Mr. Vice President Garret A Bo
bar! bus a $1,000 inkstand made of rib
vfer aud paid for out of "tbo oontiugent
fund of the senate." It is said to be a
Bisorcjphg work of art—B miniature of
toie capitoj.
‘ Ih the course of human events many
prth jbavd need many sorts of inkstands
stand used by gruff old Dr. Johnson
when he was writing his great diction-
ary, or by Oliver Goldsmith when pen-
ning “The Traveler” and “The Desert-
ed Village,” or by John Milton wbilo
composing “Paradise Lost,” which he
sold for a few shillings, or by Henry
Fielding while he was creating “Tom
Jones" and dodging his landlady, tailor
and washerwoman. We are told that
Alexander Pope wrote “The Essay on
Man,” “The Rape of the Lock” and
“Tho Dunciad” on tbe backs of old let-
ters. He could not afford tbe luxury of
clean white paper and never dreamed
of such a thing as a $1,000 inkstand.
Edgar Allan Poe frequently had not the
wherewithal to appease his hunger
while writing “The Raven,” “Annabel
Lee,” “Tbe Black Cat,” “The Gold
Bi g” and his other immortal produc-
tions, but it never entered his poetic
mind to conceive any tale so incredible
as to tbe story of Mr. Hobart's ink-
stand. There was a vice president once
—a redheaded Virginian—who in his
early years wrote a certain document,
whose arguments have revolutionized
tbe world, but tbe chances are that his
inkhoru didn’t cost two bits. In the
days of John Adams, the first Vice presi-
dent, the entire furniture and parapher-
nalia of tbe senate would not have
bronght $1,000 under the auctioneer’s
hammer at public vendue, aud now the
latest of his successors dips bis pen into
an inkstand which cost a thousand good
dollars of the realm—paid for out of
tho contingent fund of the senate—the
people’s money! At present prices that
means 300 hogs of 800 pounds weight
or five pairs of tbe best Missouri mules
or 50 bales of cotton or 500. bushels of
wheat or 4,000 bushels of corn! And
yet people wonder that there are Popu-
lists in tbe laud! Nero stabled bis horse
in a marble manger and fed him cut of
a golden trough, and there were Popu-
lists in his day, though they were called
by some other name perhaps, and they
arcse one day in their wrath aud when
they sat down again there was no Nero.
That was in tbe declining days of Rome,
which declined so fast and so far that
Lord Byron dubbed her the “Niobe of
Nations. ”
People’s -Money Squandered.
Now, Ibis is sot Nome, though we
appear to have struck her rapid gait,
and ML Hobart is not Nero; far from
it. On tbe contrary, he appears to be
au amiable Me—a man of kind heart.
He deserves to have such a bauble as a
$1,000 inkstand as much as any man in
public life—provided be pays for it
himself or his friends pay for it out of
their own funds. Under those condi-
tions nobody would envy him his hand-
some work of art. If the 90 senators of
tbe United States had chipped in $11 1-9
each and presented him with a $1,000
inkstand, nobody could or would have
complained, for it would have been no
body’s business; but it is somebody’s
business—everybody’s business—when
$1,000 of tbe hard earned money of the
people is snbtracted or abstracted from
“the contingent fund of the senate”
and squandered in sneb preposterous,
wasteful and criminal fashion. It can-
not be defended on grounds cf either
good sense or sound morals. They might
as well have presented him with a fine
horse, or a fine painting, or a small
farm and paid for it out of the public
funds.
Every man—big, little, old or young
—that bad any hand in the performance
ought to be compelled to commit to
memory and recite in open senate the
whale of Thomas Jefferson’s first in-
augural address, in which he declares
in favor cf “economy Jp the public ex-
pense tbat labor may be ligbtly bur-
dened. ” It would be refreshing to hear
his opinion of this $1,000 iuketand
transaction.
The International Bank Bill.
Tbe vote in tbe bouse ou tbe interna-
tional bank bill was a great surprise to
its managers. They bad no doubt what
ever—not even the shadow of a doubt—
of passing it triumphantly, but it was
not only defeated, but wa6 defeated
overwhelmingly, tbe vote standing 10fl
yeas to 148 nays. Tbat was a very thin
bouse. Evidently a great many dodged,
but tbe secret of its defeat was that the
many western Republicans were afraid
to vote for it and either voted against it
or were conveniently absent from the
hall. Possibly tbe slaughter of that bill
is a happy augury of wbat will happen
to tbe Gage or McCleary bill.
The truth is tbat tbe effort to pass
this international bank bill was au ef
fort to make a sneak ou tbe house and
to pass tbe Gngp fij)} piecemeal, This
effort failed largely by reason of the
speech cf Judge John C. Bell cf Colo-
rado, who always speaks in a clear and
vigorous style. 1 wish I had room for
his entire argument, bgt (nu^ content
myself with a few extraots. Among
other things he said:
“The bill pending before the house is
more than it pretends to be. It is not
only a bill for jntefoafiona) bnt

ple of the United States, j take it that

Menace t» Small Banka.
“It seems to ise that it is a menace
to every small bapk in the nation; tbat
it is the entering wedge that will put
into force some o* the worst features of
foe McCleary banking bill, it has some
of the same geurrri features. It has tbe
gigantic bauk wim branches to reach
out through the cfontry, aud this bill
will be used not scfoiucb for the inter-
national purposes ap for domestic pur-
poses.
“Another objection.. This bill is not
to be gone through v|ith under tbe five
minute rule, with «ie opportunity of
amending it iu tbe .ordinary way. A
bauk under this bifi can run for 50
years. A bank under tar national hank-
ing system can run but for 20 years.
“On page 11 of tbe bill I want to call
your attention and the attention of tbe
members specifically to tbe objects of
the bill. Here are tbe purposes for
which tbe bill is to bo used:
“Seventh.-—To act as the financial agent of
any nation, government, state, municipality,
corporation or person, and to perforin nny and
all aets and duties not inconsistent with law
that it may undertake end assume as such
mifinchd agent, including the sale, exehango
or other disposition of any Lotids or oilier evi-
dences cf indebtedness issued by any such
government, stato,'municipality, corporation
or person.
“I take it tbat tbat amounts to very
little. Any private citizen of the Unit-
ed States may do auytbing that isgrant-

That is the object of it, aud its foreign
power is a mere incident. It is putting
in force iu this country some of the
drastic measures of tbe McCleary act.
An Entering; Wedge,
“Tbat portion of it making your
gigantic bank with its branches and
with power to drive out the small banka
of the country is carried by this bilj,
and while I am not a defender of a!)
portions of our national banking law, \
do not believe in that portion of tbq
national banking system that permits
them to issue or control the currency,
bet beyond tbat it is tb© best bankisg
system we ever had, and I think it is
far superior to tbe bill which is pend,
ing before us, and I warn you gentle,
men now, if this bill ever becomes a
law, tbat before a decade passes away
it will be amended aud pnt on foe stat-
ute book as a complete banking system
for tbe United States.
“Iu tbo McCleary act one of th«
worst featprps pf this bill k inelHded.
One of the things tbaf make a drastic
change in onr finances contained in the
McCleary act is this great, gigantic in-
stitetion, with its many branches
(brougbopf Dig popntry. Von ore en-
compassing that same legislation by the
passage of this bill. This idea of hav-
ing au institution organized and char-
tered for the promotion of foreign com-
merce is pot significant. It grants no
particular powers in tbat direction, and
the banks we have pan do what is
sought to he empowered to do by this
corporation if it shall be chartered by
tho pending act. They are doing the
same things today, and one of the chief
objects of this bill is, under this guise,
to get au entering wedge for g banking
bill on tb? bn?; of the McCleary act,
and it will ultimately come opt as the
McCleary act itself.
“That, |*4 hrlef, represents my objec-
tions to the passage of tbe bill. I think
we ought to hgvg hvtt one banking act
in the United States. If our present na-
tional banking act is not sufficient, 5;
ought to be amended. But as to having
