AXT STOCK j'u Clark's lato intorview there a relerenco to icgislatlou upon live stock interest which led so fav away from tho base of bis general argument as to suggest that ho had somehow strangely and utterly confused and mixed tip free grass and Ihe personal liberty and etjuol rights contention of largo element of his party.

Ho saidi "A few yoars ago tho cattlo and sheep industries dovelonod Into groat but as soon as peoplo began to grow rich in raising cattlo and sheep our demagogues began to stir up tb.o populace against thorn aud our legislation, instead of fostering and encouraging those indus- became hostile and harsh. Whore aro the cattle and sheep industries o-day? Practically destroyed and hence not worthy further notice by the demagogue." Jnjge Clarfc's entire argument against protectionist and paturnalistic tbe- rles policies was intended to show rhat the government under democratic rule had no business legislating to foster or encourage any interest or any industry, and ho apparently recorded himself In favor of legislation to foster and encourage the ive stock interest. This interest has never been injuriously affected by hostile leglsla- loii. The legislation of Texas on this sub- ect h'as affected, but not Injuriously, the uterusts of owners of range cattle only, lange interests suffered heavily some years back. Cattlo went down in value.

Bud tho sumo fluctuations In the value of range cattle in Texas marked tho valno of rouge cattle all the western states and terri- lOries. Did the legislation of Texas came, he loss in value to owners of range- cattla 'ro'm Alaska, to Guatemala? Assuredly if cattle growing in Texas was discouraged by hostile legislation tho exemption of that ndustry in other and contiguous states and territories from such legislation should jave benefited the industry cutxldo of Coxas. It would practically have amounted to protection against the competition of Texas cattle growers. Tho egislatlon of Texas, especially the last jonoral land not, wbioh Judge Clnru has oen credited with formulating, is in- inded to establish tho range interest upon tho same basis as all other Interests. Tho object has been and in to require payment 'rom cattle owners for tho use of publio property.

Will Jndgo Clark contend that should bo fostered and en- eournEcd by tho free use of public property? why not KO further and rao tho public revenues to foster and encourage this ndustry by granting bouutlos upon production from the stato treasury? Tuo leghda- lou affecting owners of range cattle has to open the school lands to settlement fait and to rent lor such of these ands as wore not settled by actual occupants. If the cuttle owner has tho right complain that rent is demanded for his use of school lands he has the right to com- ilain that hla interests arc injured by opcn- these lands to tho farmers. Under this legislation 7,000,000 acres aro leased. Tho lease money saves taxpayerifwho own these lands nearly per annum. Will Judgo Clark contend that the state should foster and encourage tho cattlo industry by remitting tho rent and taxing the people S3CO.OOO to coter tho expense of protection? But the cattle Interest is not practically destroyed, as Judge Clark declares.

It is upon a better basis than it has over been. Stock cattle in tho ranges where the legislation of Texas exclusively applies have not declined in value as they have in the purely agricultural districts. Cattle a few years siaco had a aoorn. Prices wore inflated by speculation from tho Rio Grande to Canada to double the present value of such stock. Cotton has suffered the same decline in price.

In Texas fourfold more cotton is growa at 10 cents per pound than was grown when the price was 25 cents per pound, and twofold more bcovcs ar6 grown at (SO per head than were crown when $35 per head was tho price. If the cattle interest has been destroyed tho cotton interest is dead. If the stato should foster the cattle interest by furnishing lands rent free prices of cattle should, according to tho laws of production, decline still further. Certainly free land for cotton production would tend to reduce the price of the staple. But if free land for cattle production would increase cattle values find therefore should ho furnished by the state, certainly cotton and wheat producers should have free land.

Anyway, the complaint in question with regard to legislation and the stock interest has the semblance of plea for protection of a certain class at the expense of tho tax payers. Or at least it involves the contention that tho public lands should be dedicated forever to free grass, for to sell thorn to plodding farmers is moro to the free graziers than to leaao them. Whatever interferes with their occupancy is unfriendly and is not such a fostering and encouraging policy as the free graaicr species of industry craved and demanded. A BOliUOWIlD Tf'LAG. The Inter Ocean seems to think that it is saying something in favor of the protective tariff when it asserts that "larill duties are tho natural sources of American rorcnue.

It is not as sources of revenue that the Inter Ocean's party professes its profound vener atlon for tariff duties, and it is not oa sources of revenue that the democratic party is disposed to object to a certain num her and amount of such duties. The tariff reformers havo long been saying that th dntles are in some cases too high for raising tho inaximnm revenue which could be raised by more moderate datics on the same articles and that the revenue is in excess tho requirements of governmeri; for rov enuc. All the while the protectionists re tain tho high and multifarious duties, as though revenue were not in their thotighU but something else. And uucu is tho fact Tho exclusion of articles of commerce produced abroad and tho like of which coulc: be produced iu this country is their object Why then docs their usually consistent western organ speak as if turilT duties at- maintained wore for revenue? The protectionists could l.avo revised tho tariff, cut otl tho scandalous proportions of tho surplus with its ternptntions to waste and itlcr.in'lat-ill maintain more tar- iilji ivtcclion than acy American industry as now established possibly needs to battle against foreign' competition for the possession of tho marked of tho Unitwl States, protectionists' hnvo g.von way to tho boundless cupidity arijl arrogant boss- ixm of thfir most innatlnhii elemjnt and jobbing pi actical politicians vfifft seem to" prefer maintaining even the p.x- agaiK'os flud oxorodconcus of tho syuteiu aloug witb the node of taxation which la consonant its mituro ami theory. A bn.d stato ot loliticii iu tua gonoral public or tsnibly cfoctivo moral condition of tho opposition party is to bo inferred from the success of ho party thus oxnlblitug its doep dc (eno- ucy from thu honest purpose of the original Toteclionijts as Henry whoa here was nemo quostiou of expediency and lot a mere- rush of downright cormorant- sm in the proposals fora protective tariff ud tho degree of extension and particular developments sought, therefor.

ABOUT INLAND HATES. The absurdity of uttompting to regulate 'ailroftd tramo by law in such a way as to Ieuse all classes and communities was well llustrated last week when tho New York produce oxchango entered: a protest against ho railroads cutting inland rates in mafc- ng through ocean rates, and the Philudel- ihia chamber of commerce entered a slm- lar protest against a proposed advan.ce of ike rates. The New York produce ex- hange Is more rational in its request than he Philadelphia institution, for all it asks jg stability and an nducrenco published rates by the railroads, which accuses of making arbitrary cuts in in- aud rates whenever it is necessary to meet or to secure a cheap and reasonable through rate. Ou tho other hand, the chamber of commerce states plainly that it is a matter of necessity with he Philadelphia merchants to secure low nland rates, for without them they say are unable to compete with Now York 'or the western wheat trade, since the short inos can carry from tho entire winter wheat territory at good paying rates to tho lake cities, where tho low lake and canal tariffs can be availed of. Unless tho railroads to Philadelphia maintain low rates, Ntw York will do all the export wheat trade, and this folly explains the.

anxiety felt both in New York and Philadelphia on tho It is simply aqu.es-' of whose ox is gored, and favorable unfavorable eHect of tho.inland rftto de- iermfnes the attitude of these ot the least singular feature of the matter the partial, if not complete, change of ront by the New York prod uco exchange under the changed conditions of trado. 3nly a few months ago they woro protest- ng against the very thing they are so anxious to have brought about, namely, the establishment of high inland rates In con- unction with low ocean rates. However, tha new crop ot winter wheat, which is said to bo a vory large one, is now ready to move, and New York is anxious not only to socnro all that is naturally tributary to It, bat that of all other territory ns well. Tho foreign demand is good and the American export of wheat -promises to be very large. If tho railroads COD be forced to keep up retty HtlfJ figures for hauling this wheat low York will undoubtedly get the lion's share, while on the other hand If rates are reduced Philadelphia and half a dozen minor ports will enter as dangerous competitors.

It it under these circumstances that the aopeal to the interstate commerco commission is made, and tho nero statement of is sufficient to show how much real fairness or justice ia asked or expected. Tho commercial necessities of the peoplo outside these cities aro entirely Ignored, and tho strong arm of tho law is invoked to "uvor of dettroy the oi- port trade ol some particular point in uttor disregard of the necessities of hundreds of others less favorably situated. Competition is to" be killed off and the natural cban- of trltdo closed by the very machinery that was set in motion by tbo government to protect tho people. the people ot the United States elected a new president they reasonably expected that In due time oftleers bytho president would ho chanced, ana yet wo notice that cur esteemed contemporary THE OALVRS- (Tox.)

THE new postmaster at Dallas, is closely related to the Studobakers of Indiana, The Studebakers of Indiana are said to have subscribed liberally to tho republican campaign fund, and at one time a charge was made against them that they demanded in an emphatic way that tbeir employes should vote as did the Stude- bakers.

Whether or not this was true, tho report must have had the sffect of making the Studebakers strong with their party. Thcro is little surprise manifested over the appointment of their relative, Mr. Witwer, to the Dallas omco. He is a good and popular citizen, but. it was perhaps tho Stadcbaker influence and not Mr.

Witwcr's character which knocked tbo plum into his lap. THE intimation of tho Chicago papers that their city should be tho site of the world's exposition or fair in 1803 set the New York people-to work. A mooting was held in the latter city a few days ago at which capital to the amount of 000 was represented. It won agreed that New York should go to work at once to secure tho fair. The amount of money represented at the was mentioned just to show what Now York could do if it would do, but it is feared that tho work will be as the usual Nsw York labor, mouth labor.

The shocking story comes from Savannah a colored child In. Liberty county.

ias been sacrificed by its parents to the 'psoudo Messiah" who was sent to the unatic asylum a few ago. If tho story no, and there Is no reason to doubt that is, It proves that there Is indeed a most deplorable condition of affairs among tha ilacks in the region where the murder occurred, but it does not necessarily prove that they are. all relapsing into barbarism. A similar sacrifice of white child by educated white parents, with consent of a considerable number of tbeir white neighbors, we believe, was made la ono ot the tfow England states two or three years ago; and only last week a fanatical white man in strangled his 3-year-old Infant to death, under an Insane religious impulse, and in the belief that the Lord would restore it' to life on the third day. Burely, when snch barbarous doods are committed -utbanarne of religion by the immediate fellow-citizens of Senator Hoar and President Harrison, It is too much to accuse benighted republicans In tho backwoods of liberty county, of being hopeless snvaees, because of a single transgression of like character.

News and Courier, Twin at Odds. Tho cities of St. Paul find Minneapolis, are only about eight miles apart, and being such near neighbors, one would expect them to exhibit only neighborly and fraternal feelings towards each othi-r. Such, bowovor, is not the case just at present. On the contrary, they are engaged in a bitter rivalry over tho miestion as to which hag tho larger population.

On tho 15th Instant St. Paul issued a directory containing names, an increase of 4000 over 1888. On Wednesday night Minneapolis issued her directory, with names, an Increase of nearly 5000 names over 1888. Moreover, Minneapolis asserts that her population is 235,000 and that St. Paul can only figure ont 185.000.

Editor Blethon of f.he Minneapolis Tribune irlvcs a number of other statistics to prove that his town is far ahead of its neighbor, and the acrimony with whicli he, defends bis assertion is in amusing contrast witb bU rcforcnco to tbe rival communities tha twin sisters of the northwest."

There is a disagreement at Brenham in regard to the tariff on inntrlmouy. The Banner says: Judge Curry received a professional call at his office from a colored gentleman who wanted to engage his services to tie tho nup- knot between him and his intended. The bride elect was present all dyked ont tor the occasion and the marriage license iiad been procured. The intended groom id the judge what he charged for splicing a couple and was informed that his regulation fee was SI The groom said ae was willing to pay six bits, but not SI 50. The court declined to establish a preeedent by falling in his prices, and the dusky pair marched out in search of some six-bit preacher or other official to splice them.

The Brenham Banner says: Tho Houston Post keeps a standing dou- blo-lcaded notice to its correspondents at the top of its editorial page begging them to boll their matter down'. Judging from our own experience we are of the opinion that tbe Post will plead in vain. Correspondents ail seem to have an idea that composition costs nothing, that tho spaco is unlimited, nnd invariably insist ou writing a lot of trashy stuff which contains a great deal of chaff and but little of interest to tho reader. The Banner has tried time and again without limit to furnish its local readers with tho news from different parts of the county. But because we frequently found it necessary to rue our blue pencil through a great deal ot matter that was mere rubbish, and were forced sometimes to throw an entire effusion into tho waste basket, our correspondents became Indignant at our exorcising this privilege and ceased writing.

Tbe San Antonio Express says: That is bno cf tho woes of the newspaper business.

The Columbia Old Capitol, printed on the Bio Brazos; naturally desires deep water at tbe mouth of that river, but it would not bottle np Galveston.

It is au oast Texas and Louisiana port. The Austin Statesman says: Congressman Craln is a young man, but he Is evidently as level headed as holsfrunk and candid. In his remarks concerning deep water, as reported by our Corpus Christ! corrojDOndent yesterday, Mr. -Craln said nobody now living would uvor soo deep water either at Arnnsns pass or Galveston, or words to that effest.

Tho reason given is the distributive system pursued by tbe government would never accomplish the desired end for either of tho ports mentioned. Mr. Grain might have probed the matter deeper and huvo stated what IB the real truth. is that tho federal KOV- ment does not Intend or desire a deep water port on tbe coast of Texas. Tbe vest aggregation of capital back of tha grcr railroad syEtema dcn't want one, aurt a great seaport on Texas shores Is tlio very last tiling that tbe commercial interests of the northern nnd eastern states de- siro.

The Cameron Herald says: Tbo political gossip at present indulged In by the Texan press ought to bo carried through a refrigerating process. It is entirely premature. So are most of tbo candidates who have been boomed for state offices.
