a political question to bother tho poo
pie with nnd that it should l > o left to

does not Bound well Lot tho peoplo
discuss it and say what thoy want

mrm nshs no more than a fair discus-
sion of tho question but Ills discus-
sion should bo free from prejudice
agalnBt freegrass barons nnd cat

tho best Interests of tho Btnto and not
based on prejudice against or hostility
to a few men Tho simple question Is
which will best piomoto tho interests
of Texas and till Its unoccupied ter-
ritory free gross or tho lease system
Tho Lossor Evil Excuses tho Greater
Tho debate In tho senate between
Senators Hoar of Massachusetts and
Drown of Georgia upon tho llduiunds
bill to suppress polygamy in Ftab
cist up Bomo ugly facta against both
Now Knglaud and Georgia morality
but tho publio will huvo somo diffi-
culty In discerning tho connection be-
tween divorces In Massachusetts mu
lattocs In Georgia and polygamy in
Utah That 51000 divorces have been
granted In Now Knglaud within a
brief period of time is Indeed a start-
ling fact but it does not excuse a sys-
tem that dominates an entire territory
and controls It In all ofllclal depart-
ments which has for Its very corner-
stone a marriage regulation which our
laws prohibit Senator Ilrown leaves
ouo to infer that tho Mormon plurality
of marrlago Is not very bad because
tho Increase of divorces in Now
England is as bad Ho might have
condemned both as twin evils aud
used his power to suppress one at
least if ho could not reach the othor
Ifoneovll may llourlsh because another
is as bad then a third caunot bo con-
demned because of the existence of
two others and the extension of this
line of argument would make all forms
of vice unassailable The Illblo upon
which our moral code Is founded Is
equally severo upon both divorce aud
polygamy Tho former though under
circumstances of flagrant violation of
chastity was allowed but no exception
1 was made In favor of polygamy Tho
peoplo of tho Cnlted States feel keenly
the reproach of Mormonlsm the more
so as It grows unchecked and gathers
in proselytes by the hundred from
among tho lower and iguornntly help-
less class of our people The demand
has been repeated time and again for
the suppression of Mormonlsm but
our lawmakers with uu unaccount-
able fatuity are nverte to dealing with
the mutter with rigor and it continues
to esenpo tho wrath of tho nation
When socalled statesmen ceaso to
have chief regard for party expediency
and advantage and awaken to a
greater regard for their duty for the
demands of tho country for moral law
aud propriety an assault may be looked
for upon Mormondom that will uproot
It That time Is not tho year of a
presidential election
Why Is It
Tin Gakttkb atteutlon has been
calledto the following lilt of Muuchnu
Bonlsin to give It tho moat charitably
mild construction which seems to
have originated with the Corslcana

though the ridiculous statement were

aud warning tone upon tho pernl

Tho Workingmana Protection
Tho following dispatch was printed
in Tun Gazette of tho ii7ll
Sr IjOIIS MnySU Tho Mlssoutl Lend nnd
Oil companysorks f this city hno beon
purchased by what Is icnon n ns tho White
Lead pool nnd tt111 soon bo closed up This
company manufactured about lC tons of
white Had annually nnd lis discontinuance
will reduce production Id per cent Tho
prlco paid for tho worli lsS350O0O uhlili Is
f ld to be 10000 more than they ore nctu
ally worth the dtOorenco being regarded
as a bonus to retire
White lead Is protected by a heavy
tariff that excludes tho foreign article
Our homo producers thus have the
market uuder control aud by combi-
nation can regulate tho production in
this country and keep down competi-
tion Manufacturers pool together
nnd when production becomes exces-
sive aud threatens to put down prices
they buy outn suftlcient number of
factories nnd stop work in them to
reduco production and enable tho man
uheturers to raise prices Thopurchasc
of tho works named in the dispatch
referred to cost tho white lead pool
350000 and they propose to discon-
tinue work and allow tho fac
tory to lie idle and unproduct-
ive Tho loss to them of 330
000 of Idle capital can well bo borne
for thoy will moro thau make that
amount by the advanced price thoy are
now enabled to ask by reason of the
reduced production In this way pro-
tection benefits tho manufacturer but
where does It help tho workman The
workers in tho factory that has been
closed up aro thrown out of employ-
ment by tho very law that gives a com
bination tho power to control the pro
duction of white lead In this country
Consumers of tho manufactured prod-
uct must pay the advanced price asked
by tho combination All suiter alike
for tho profit of a fow manuficturers
Tho protection which the tariff gives
to tho laborer in this case Is not visible
to tho naked eye
Our Debt to Freo Grass
Atldo from tho part it has borne in
tho attraction of Immigration to Texas
aud tho settling up of tho state free
grass Is the direct author of Fort
Worths present prosperity and pros
pectlvo greatness Had the present
system Inaugurated by the land boaid
of leasing lauds in largo bodies and
fencing out the smaller stockmen and
farmers been adopted ten years a o
that part of tho state which is now tho
home of thousands of farmers dotted
by Bcoresof Industrious country towns
and traversed by ralhonds would
today bo given over to largo pastures
with their immense ranches and num
berless herds in tho neighborhood of
which men without great capital
would not have gone Tho amall
Btockman or semiagriculturist who
kept the advance post on tho frontier
lought tho Indians broke tho ground
and raised n patcli of corn wljllo his
bunch of cattle fed aud fattened on
freo grass could never huvo pene-
trated tho barrier created by wire
fences legally Inclosing tho millions of
acres that our land board Is turning
over to bo tied tip In leases of six nnd
ten years The result of two months
of that Bystem has been to extinguish
the opportunity of the small farmer to
take up or enter 1423702 aores of the
publio domain for years Rich cat-
tle syndicates have leased It and
barbed wire will thrust out the farmer
and the small cattle raiser Tho line
which that barbed wlro fence marks is
tho ultima thulo of civilization and
progress for six or ton years No
farmororsmalleattlo raiser with his
llttlo herd will venture Into tho do-
main consecrated to the barbed wire
embargo albeit the law will sell to
him as an actual settler The pioneer
farmer must supplement for many
years tho product or tho Hold with tho
product of his stock or ho will fall and
there Is no attraction for him In the
neighborhood of Imbed wire
Tho city of Fort Worth built up and
sustained by the settlement of the
West aud Northwest which In
their place owe their advance-
ment to tho attractions of freo
grus Is ho directly Interested In up
holding the old syBtem that it cannot
Indorse the polloy of tho laud board
without dealing Itself hurtful blow
Tho future growth of the city U com-
mensurate with the growth of tho
country whose trade Is tributary to us
Whatever advances or retards the
growth of the unsettled Wesf and
Northwest In tho samomoasuro ad-
vances or retards tho prosperity of Fort
Worth Freo grass will draw thou-
sands of small hordorH and farmers to
tho prairies of tho Panhandlo and to
tho country between Fort Worth nnd
121 Paso while tho withdrawal of those
lands from publio use and their leoso
and fonclngup In largo bodies by rich
cn tlo companies cannot but have tho
opposite ellect of driving out Bmnll
stockmen oud delaying tho develop
ment of tho country Indefinitely
Fort Worth cannot allow a policy bo
disastrous to her Interests and bo fntal
to her prospects to bo Indorsed by pub-
lic approval Tho landleaso system is
Inimical to the business and growth of
Fort Worth as woll as of ovcry city
vlllago nnd town west of the ninety
seventh degree of longitude and such
communities should sot tlioseal of their
condensation upon tho laudleaso flye
tem in unmistakable terms on nil occa-
sions
Strike at tho Hoot of tho Evil
It Is rare very rare that a wcllor
gauled newspaper Is victimized ns
sorely as tho Dallas Herald was In
publishing tho special telegram from
Waxahochle announcing tho elope
ment of n respectable young lady of
that place with a negro Tho case Is
perhaps unparalleled In tho history of
To xas Journalism That it was a
canard cruel coarsonndv anton was
speedily established and now wo sup-
pose unless all precedent is to bo re-
versed will como tho usual suit lor
libel damages from the Herald for
thousands of dollars Right now and
In this case is a lilting timo to Insist
that there shall be u now departure In
tho application of this law of libel
which seems to lmvo been devised for
the express purpose of bleeding nows
piper publishers The author of this
lying dispatch to the Herald can cer-
tainly bo found and when found why
not make nu example of him Instead
of mulcting the Herald Kveryoue nt
all familiar with tho workings of a
newspaper establishment need not be
told how completely tho publisher Is at
tho mercy of tho conscienceless or
blundering correspondent nnd reporter
It is high time the boot shall goon tho
other foot let the correspondent pay
the just penalty of his act The young
lady at Waxahochle and her parents
nre no doubt greatly and justly ag-
grieved Which will most soothe their
wounded feelings a good round sum
of money from tho Herald or to see-
the author of the telegram behind
prison bars whero ho ought to ntV
The character nnd standing of the
Herald absolutely preclude the theory
that It had malicious intent or design
in publishing tbo dispatch every con-
sideration of a sound business policy
prompted the suppression of tho news
If known or suspected to bo untrue
No ordinarily intelligent Jury In auy
Texas couuty can bo induced to be-
lieve that the Herald knowingly gave
publicity to an outrageous slander
Tho cold truth is that the Herald hs
been victimized aud treated scarcely
less badly thau the young lady her-
self A journal like the Herald has it
must be remembered a reputation and
pro3tlgo to maintnln When humuu
wisdom attains perfection tho newspa-
per will be secure from lying reckless
aud irresponsible correspondents aud
not before AVe submit that tho news
paper has suffered long enough for tho
sins of its newsgatherers let the courts
now begin to apply tho nxo at tho root
of the evil and punish the originators
of slanders rather thau the Innocent
vehicle thereof Where It cau bo
shown thut the paper Is an intelligent
participant In tho offense then there
should bo no mercy or condonation for
tbo journal let it have full punish-
ment Rut wo do know that In
nlnctynlue out of every one hun-
dred cases like this one of the Her-
alds tho newspaper Is an accessary
only by virtue of circumstances It is
as innocent morally aud legally of
sin as the man who purely by acci-
dent Is unfortunate enough to injure
his fellowman In life or limb We
bopo the Herald will succeed In Hud
lug tho author of tho dispatch from
Waxahachlo Ills offonso was a das-
tardly sin and ho should have thellmlt
of tho law ns to punishment Rut It
Is tlmo to call a halt to tho practlco of
making the paper tho scapegoat of tho
real wrongdoer What has befallen
the Herald Is likely some time to
come to any other publisher nnd the
press as a whole has
or certainly
should havo an active earnest inter
est in tho outcome of tills case Let
tho wanton liar who has It in his
power to do harm for a brief while bo
taught that theie is a day of reckoning
for him
