which is perfectly correct, is the follow-
ing; “But I am wandering,” of that
there is no question, not a single state-
ment of The Leader has been con-
troverted, nothing germane to the issue
stated. Were it not for the railroads,
there would not be so many “men with
the hoe,” in Texas, nor markets for
their products, in fact the “man with
the hoe,” could not support his family.
There is too much posing of would be
politicians as the pretended friend of
labor.

NOENDIARISM is ripe in Van Zandt
unty, within a few days, several
ool houses and churches have been
on fire and destroyed. The fiends
have not yet been arrested by the
sheriff. ____
We have received several enquiries
in regard to the proposed railroad from
Lampasas to a connection with the
Austin & Northwestern Railway and
on enquiry of the directors of the com-
pany we learn that a practical route
has been surveyed from Lampasas to
Burnet, twenty-four miles long, and
another route which strikes the Austin
& Northwestern Railway about four
miles east of Burnet. This latter
route is some shorter than the route to
Burnet and its construction will cost
less. Either route is some five or six
miles shorter than the survey made by
the Austin^and Northwestern railway
company and the grades 25 per cent
lighter. It has been the wish of the
company to have the A. & N. W. R’y
company construct and operate the
road, using the donations offered by
Lampasas, Burnet and Austin, but that
company has refused to do this. The
directors are now negotiating with
parties in Kansas City and New York
to build the road and the chances are
good for these parties taking hold of
the matter and putting it through.
Both Burnet and Austin people signify
a willingness to co-operate with Lam-
pasas and with their co-operation, with
the addition of assistance expected
from the parties in Kansas City and
New York the road jean be built. It
will however be necessary for Lam-
pasas property owners to raise about
ten thousand dollars more than they
have yet donated or subscribed, and it
is believed that this can be raised
when necessary.
Cuney, of Galveston, has got there;
the office of collector of the port at that
dity will be filled by a negro. Rather
a sad commentary upon the qualifica-
tions and fitness of the white men
-omposing the republican party of
Texas. ____
Under the new law which went into
ect July 1st, a sheriff is not allowed
more than three deputies in the pre-
cinct in which the court house is situ-
ated, and but one in each of the other
precincts. The six-shooter deputy is a
thing of the past.
Last Friday the town of Morristown,
West Virginia, was destroyed by a
cloud burst. A number of lives were
lost, thousands of dollars worth of crops
and property destroyed and throughout
the valley of the Little Kanawha is
ing but desolation. The year 1889
jg be remembered as the most
trous year of the 19th century.
The State Militia.
We call attention to an article ap
pearing in this issue clipped from the
Balias News of the 21st inst, written by
a citizen of Lampasas and containing
suggestions which are well worth be-
ing considered. The United States has
but a small regular army, and in the
event of foreign war or invasion, the
sole dependence would be upon volun-
teers from the different states. The
organized, well drilled militia or Na-
tional Guard of each state would have
to furnish the officers, for the line at
least, while regulars, ex-regulars and
old soldiers of experience would fill the
positions of field officers, brigade, di-
vision and corps commanders. Theory
is very good in its way, but worth but
little without practice. Battalion drills
held during the summer, with practical
instruction in guard mount, picket and
outpost duty would benefit officers and
men, far beyond the trifling amount it
would cost, and especially benefit the
state, for her strength and the safety
of the lives of her citizens may at any
time depend upon the discipline, train-
ing and soldierly qualities possessed by
hercitizen soldiers.
We are in receipt of a communica-
tion from Mr, H. Wallace, of Nix,
criticising an article which appeared
in the last issue of The Leader in ref-
erence to the action of the commis-
sioners’ court in raising the valuation
of the Santa Fe railroad campany’s
property. The Santa Fe company
never received twenty sections per
mile, but on the contrary certificates
for sixteen sections, which were sold
for $8 each. Their land was never ex-
empted from taxation for twenty-five
years, it was property of thel. and G.
N. R. R., that was so exempted, which
they received as the result of a suit
against the state. At the time of con-
traction of the G. C. & S. F. Railway,
steel rails cost $76 per ton, now they
st $27, labor and material was higher
an it is to-day. Use your hoe more
effectively, hoe out facts, not loose
statements which are proof of nothing
The Leader, never complained that
private property was assessed too low,
or would any person of ordinary in*
igence so construe it. Will you
sell your property for its assessed
-value? The only statement in this
lengthy, irrelevant communication,
Lampasas, Tex., July 17.—Several
years ago ihe News publishad military
articles from me signed as “Militia”
and “Corporal” in which I predicted
that unless the military gathering in
our state did not assume other features
besides the company prize drill in the
near future our state service would turn
professionals, and now I have my fore-
sight exemplified.
First, we have a big interstate drill
with marvelous prizes at Galveston.
At this Galveston camp only fourteen
state companies reported and three of
these were home companies, although
the total number in the state is forty-
seven white and five colored com-
mands, divided into two brigades, five
regiments and one colored regiment,
the total forces being commanded^by
the major general of the division. At
this drill the first ray of professionalism
made its appearance in the shape of a
challenge by the Fayette light guards
of LaGrange to the Brenham light
guards of Brenham. It will be remem-
bered that the Brenham light guards
captured the first state prize, and the
prize was awarded by the United States
army officers, who were thejudges, and
their decision should have been final.
The Fayette light guards issued the
challenge, backed by $1000.
Next, we have a small gathering at
Sherman, where five companies enter
for a small prize, and the awards were
made by the same authorities (other
officers acting), as follows: Grayson
rifles of Sherman, first; Paris light
guards of Paris, second; Fannin guards
ofBonham, third. Here again we have
the professional. The Fannin guards
issue a challenge for $500 to the Grayson
rifles to compete again. This way oi
drilling, challenging, competing, etc.,
reminds one of the sporting fraternity
a la Sullivan-Kilrain, and it is exactly
as I expected.
There is but one remedy. Theie
should be an appropriation set aside for
the government of these separate or-
ganizations; fatigue uniforms should be
issued, armory rent paid and all cur-
rent expenses borne by the state
These men are enlisted as a state service
and they should certainly be supported
by the state.
There is now $10,000 in the treasury
for militia purposes. Why not use
some of this for the next state encamp-
ment, and have a state encampment
where the entire forFy-seven companies
should be compelled to go as regiments?
Let them take the same interest which
they now bestow upon company drill to
the battalion drill. Then they will un-
derstand that the school of a company
is, as Lieut. Mackey of the United
States army said to me, “the A B C of
Upton’s Tactics.” Then they will not,
as was the case in Sherman, take a cit-
izen to command camp, when the col-
onel of the fifth has five of his command
at one point. Such actions are discourt-
eous to military discipline.
The governors of the state have al-
ways had power to act in behalf of the
militia of Texas and although we have
warriors and patriots in the executive
chair, not one would speak or act for
the service.
Nevertheless in the case of riots and
other disorders they never hesitate to
show authority and place the boys wher-
ever necessary.
The ridicule in which the militia ser-
yice is placed is splendidly illustrated
by a conversation I had with a “gran-
ger” during the Wharton or Fort Bend
trouble. I was in Hempstead. A
Waller county farmer addressed a small
gathering seated on a dry goods box:
“Wall,” said he, “they’ve got them
soldier boys up at Fort Bend. They are
a fine set; regular dudes. Hits a good
thing the rangers are there. Five ran-
gers are stronger than the forty men of
the Victoria rifles.”
I listened until he had finished and
finally remarked;
“Excuse me, stranger^ were you ever
young?”
He “lowed he were.”
“I presume then at your time a body
of forty boys, as you term the company
at Whartou, say between 20 and 25,
would have fled in terror had they re-
ceived orders from their commander-in-
chief to report to a place of danger.”
Wall, I reckon not. Do you know
that boys at my time at that age would
have been delighted at the opportunity
to defend their fellow citizens, and do
you know they would have fit circular
saw.”
I continued: “The boys of to-day
have not changed one particle, and as
far as fighting concerned, why each
and every one has taken a solemn oath
to defend the constitution of the United
States and the state of Texas with his
life if necessary, and should the word
‘fire’ be given I assure you, sir, that
they would fire to kill. Hence your
version regarding our boys and the ran-
gers is most decidedly wrong.”
This same idea prevails among great
mass of citizens, who imagine a voluft-
teer guard as a handsome piece of fur-
niture, and should be taxed to wear a
uniform. The enlistment, oath, etc.,
they know naught of.
In Europe millions are spent in stand-
ing armies.
The northern states spend millions
for their armories and their citizen
soldiery. Why, theseventh regimemt,
New York armory costs twice as much
as the armory of Texas. Has New
York any greater fear of being invaded
than Texas? Why can’t New York
dispense with her millitia?
The north mainntains a heavy force
of volunteer men. The south has
none. They cannot say that they have
not the means millions are not
demanded. Texas, the empire state,
the renowned lone star state,should
certainly have a passable volunteer
guard.
The people of Texas cannot complain
of the material. Can you show me a
state in the union which has bodies of
men, such as the Houston light guards,
the Belknap rifles, the Sealy rifles, the
San Antonio rifles and other state com
panies, which have men that are per-
fection itself?
The Belknap rifles, in the parade of
the centennial celebration in New
York city, created more cheering than
any of the 80,000 troops in line. Every-
body yelled “Hurrah for Texas,” and
“aren’t they handsome in their snow
white uniforms?”
I have bad interviews with all the
geuerai, staff, regimental and company
officers. All are in high favor ofa regu-
lar state encampment, a camp of in-
struction where battalion drill should be
the order of the day. Audi sinceriy
trust the state papers will boom an ap-
propriation for their volunteer service.
Then they can claim the boys as their
own and their pride. As it is every
cent expended has been paid by the
individual soldier. At the Galveston
camp each man had to pay his fare
there and return, and for his food dur-
ing the time he staid at the drill.
I trust other military men will give
their views through the columns of rbe
daily press. And the time will surely
come when our side will win.
Billy Bigham, Priyate.
tlie boom comes, be ■will have to pay tax on
the same which is really worth no more to
him than it was before the railroad came,
but pays tax at six dollars per acre. Yes!
but he might want to sell itj Yes, sell at six,
and buy at six; and the horse is still the
same color.
BUT I AM WANDERING.
The question at issue is; how to deal with
the young giant—why treat it as a private
citizen of course.
The intention oi the law is to protect the
weak and restrain the strong. All admit
that the helpless and dependant should he
handled with care, but when the big boy
gets bigger than his daddy and begins to
throw dust to hide his naughty tricks, you
hold up hands in horror and cry out; don’t
spank him or he’ll kick. Yours truly,
H. Wallace.

SUMMER CLEARANCE SALE.
MR.
W. YATES. OUR BUYER,
“The Man With The Hoe,” at Nix, Texas.
Nix, Texas, July 22,1889.
To the Editor of The Leader ;
I am glad you have expressed your opinion
publicly in relation to the action of the
commissioners’ court in raising the assess-
ment of the G. C. & S. F. R. R. Well, I am
thought to be an illiterate old fogy hut I
know a few things, and what I do know I
know it as well as anybody. The huge store
of knowledge (?) which is drawn on so un-
sparingly was accumulated by the well
known process of experience and observa-
tion. I was a resident of Texas long before
there was a railroud in the state, and before
the land was all gobbled up that the “man
with the hoe” ought, by rights, to have had
instead of the railroad companies.
You say that the G. C. & S. F. Railroad has
been assessed at $12,000 per mile which is
largely in excess of its real value. Which
would you have us take as a basis of taxa-
tion, the income, or the cost of constructing
the road? The basis for the assessment of
private property is the cost or selling price.
Would not the basis for the one be a legal
basis for the other? We dare not take as a
basis for taxation the income of a man’s
farm; or the income of the capitalist who
come to Lampasas and erect commodious
business houses, for lo! in the past not very
far gone by, the income has scarcely been
sufficient to pay the interest on the money
invested. But when it comes to assessing
the taxes on the railroad there seems to be
an indefinable something; a something
diferent from anything else in the world,
and that is the proper basis upon which the
assessment of the railroad and its belongings
may be made.
If the railroads can he built as shown for
$7,000 and $8,000 per mile, please tell me why
the wise men of Texas gave twenty sections
of land per mile for the construction of
railroad and that exempt from taxation
for twenty-five years. Twenty sections,
12,800 acres at two dollars per acre, $25,000.
You say that “private property is assessed
at about two-thirds of its value, the railroad
property is being assessed at one-half more
than its value.” You .see, you had it down
wrong. Had you left out the two words
“more than” yon would have had it down
about right, and as to private property being
assessed at about two-thirds of its value,
you, Mr. Campbell, are the only person 1
have heard complaining of the assessment
on private property being too low; we can
come up a little higher on your property
next time. Again you say that corporations
should receive and have a right to expect
and demand, the same treatment as private
citizens. Corporations have no souls, their
conduct is somewhat different from that of
the private citizens, and in some instances
receive different treatment. The truth is,
the corporations, and the large land owners
are the ones with whom we have the most
trouble in the assessment of taxes. The
farmers with but few exceptions give in
their farms at a proper valuation.
Put us down as idiots if you wish, hut the
commissioners’ court of Lampasas county
have some respect for their oath. If every
man on earth was to to do wrong it is no
reason that we should do wrong to appease
the wrath of the railroad company or court
their favor.
The railroads are the power in the United
States; yes, the power of the world, they
have the money, they have got the laws,
they have got money to make more laws
when the present laws do not suit tnem; but
this is no reason that their property should
be assessed at one-half its value. There are
other things that retard the progress of our
city and county more than the adjustment
of the taxes of the railroad, and just as liable
to malje it a “sleepy hollow.” If Lampasas
sits still and waits for railroads to build her
up, you had just as well christen her now
sleepy hollow.
While it will take something more than a
railroad to keep any town awake, I will
admit that they are good things, they ena-
Dle the land sharks to sell their broad acres
of ill-gotten land; they are good things to
boom a town, run up property to three
times its value and drop down and smash
every man that handled it. The booming
is wide-spreading in its effects, it enhances
the value ©f the land in the country to the
disadvantage of “the man with the hoe”
who has bought land at two dollars per acre,

CITATION.
THE STATE OF TEXAS,
To the Sherift or any Constable of Lam-
pasas County, Greeting:
You are hereby commanded, that by
making publication of this citation in some
newspaper published in the County oi Lam-
pasas, if there be a newspaper published in
said County, (but if not, then in the nearest
County where a newspaper is published,)
for four weeks previous to the return day
hereof, you Summon W. C. Barker, whose
residence is unknown, to he and appear be-
fore the Hon. District Court, at the next
regular term thereof, to be holden in the
County of Lampasas, at the Court House
thereof, in the City of Lampasas on the First
Monday in November A.D. 1889, file number
being 1199, then and there to answer the
Petition of The Texas Trading Company, a
company duly incorporated under the laws
of the State of Texas, filed in said Court, on
the 5th day of July A. D. 1889, against the
said W. C. Barker and alleging in substance
as follows, to-wit:
That on the 23rd day of December 1887 and
divers days before that time and after June
6th 1887, plaintiff at the special request of
defendant sold and delivered him certain
goods, wares and merchandise specified in
an account annexed to said petition marked
Exhibit “A” and asked to be made a part
of plaintiff’s petition which plaintiff alleges
were reasonably worth at the time of said
sale, the several sums of money charged
therefor as specified in said accountamount-
ing in the aggregate to the sum of three hun-
dred and seventy-one dollars and thirty-one
cents which defendant promised to pay.
That on Sept. 6th 1887, defendant promised to
pay plaintiff the sum of $150.00 annual rental
for the use and occupancy of a certain
tract of lanu in Burnet County, Texas, from
Sept. 6th 1886 to Sept. 6th 1887, and that on
Sept. 6th 1888, defendant promised to pay
plaintiff $150.00 rental on said land for the
year from Sept. 6th 1887 to Sept. 6th 1888,
which two items of rent amountingjto$300.00
are set forth in said account. That on Dec.
5th 1887 defendant being indebted to plain-
tiff for money lent before that time. In the
sum of $137.55 promised to pay plaintiff said
sum, which is also specified in said account.
That all of said sums of money above men-
tioned aggregating the sum of $808.86
have long since been due and though
often demanded defendant has
never paid same except the sum
of $509.66 paid in small sums at different
times prior to January 1st 1888 as specified
in said account and there was still due on
said account on Janua..y 1st 1888 a balance
of $299.20. Plaintiff also sues for $42.20 due it
from defendant on an account for goods,
wares and merchandise sold defendant by
the WesLern Mercantile Co., on and before
August 16th 1887, and after April 6th 1887,
which account plaintiff alleges was trans-
fered to it by said Western Mercantile Co.,
of which defendant had notice, said account
is marked Exhibit “B” annexed to plaintiff’s
petition and made part of same. Plaintiff
says it is the legal owner and holder of both
of said accounts and asks for judgment for
said sums of $299.20 and $42.20 with interest
at 8 per cent, from January 1st 1888.
