Tv,...Uiltlon. to be Hccurd, needs two tilings.
1st a strong party to put it through our In-
clotures; and 2d, a strong party to hack it
up with friendly legislation. J f prohibition
n failure in Kunsas and Iowa, it is he
cause of unfriendly legislation and a strong
mrtv to back it up. All persons not tureci.
ly engaged In the liquor business, If honest,
agree that it Is a great curse and advocate
its curtailment or suppression. It is about
100 years since this battle againsx ine ue-
mon In this country Megan, unuer ur. ivimn
... w n r inoniiH of regulation. It was
stipulated that men should get drunk only
at stated times. This was soon iouiiu w ue
. wa Htrani-enient. Tlien dawned the
l,W nf total abstinence. This was the plan
nf the noble Washlngtonlans in 18118, fol
lowed by the Woman's Crusade In Ohio In
1S72. ThU was a Otxl inspired movement,
and started the mighty wave that Is sweep
ing our country at this time. Maine had
long since proclaimed prohibition, It Ib true,
and stood as a beacon light to all the states
and as Its rock bound coast beats back the
wild Atlantic, so Maine has reared her
strong, unbroken front against the liquor
power. In Pennsylvania a light glared up
only to go out In utter darkness by unfriend
ly legislation. New Hampshire, Khode In
land, Michigan, Minnesota, and even 1111
nois gave us prohibition laws under Demo
cratlc rule for a brief season. Massachu
setts, Vermont and Delaware gave us a
taste when the wldgs were In power; and
New York, as a non-partisan measure, gave
us a little prohibition legislation. Jbit nei
ther of the old parties gave us these men
sures as a party; they simply stood neutral
-1 the ijiiestion, and permitted the people,
without reference to party lines, under the
pressures of strong popular agitation, to
force the law upon the statute book. To
their discredit it must be said, whenever
they, as parties, did take position, In almost
every Instance It was against the law. Kven
In Maine the temperance people were driv
en to the necessity ot organizing a third
party and voting Us ticket to keep the re
publican party from going over to the 11
quor Interest,
And now a Prohibition party has become
a necessity. If the baud of liod Is In it
It must and will succeed. Wo have alrea
dy (in 18H4) sent out our little Monitory
which has made a big hole In one of the
rot ton hulks of the old Merrlmacks, and we
will be ready again with more Monitors
In isss, fully equipped for war again In
18112; and if need be, in 18!i, we will blow
all their old whisky ships on to the land,
high and dry, and sweep into power.
I close this rambling article with the elo
quent words of President W. W. (ireer, of
Vienna, Pa.:
Our father sunk deep tl.e foundation
for the piers of the bridge leading from
despotism to freedom. They founded them
on eternal truth. They spuing across the
(States, from Maine to California, two lofty
political arches, one conservative, one lib
eral, with abundance of space for other
arches, should either of the two old ones
prove lnsulllclent or untrustworthy. I'.re
long the old Whig arch fell, Its timber so
decayed that the nails of freedom would
not hold the plank of abolition, and at once,
as if by magic, the new arch of Kepubli
canlsm sprang Into existence, a veritable
hnw of nromlne. That erand and graceful
bridge, which the world saw and admired,
has carried millions irom nominee in m
erty.
flfu-illv had the noble work been bccoiu
nllwliwl when slims of decay appeared.
The worms ol patronaire, office and plunder
made serious Inroads into tue once loveiv
structure, and when In 1881 a newilank
was offered for its repair, like the old alio-
lltlon plank. It was rejected, and that once
fair structure vanished. Sad and discour
aged, as old and progressive Patrons of that
bridge became, they did not lose heart, but
reared at once that beautiful structure,
whose airy but symmetrical lines can only
be traced as vet bv the eye of faith, as it

A I'lylnif Trip Through Texas mid What I
Saw.
I started from the 111. Central depot Mon
day, Sept. 14th, via Cairo to Texas, over the
Cot toil Hell narrow guagc road to Waco
got to Pine Uluir, Arkansas, ihe next night
about twelve o'clock, stopped over for day
light to run, as the read is in bad repair.
The next morning at seven we were on the
way for Waco again, ami got there about ten
o'clock, crossing the pooreit country I ever
traveled over, except the Texas end of the
route, which had several fine towns, espec
ially Taylor and Cross Corner, and n good
rich country, well settled, ll was striking
to me to see how much central Texas looked
like Illinois when il was about half sullied,
except the cotton fields in place of corn. The
corn fields looked old and dried up, as if t he
fodder was of but litile v.duo ; the farms hut
littlj improved, except so far as it was abso
lutely necessary to raise crops. I judged
the owner of them were usin all they
could make to buy more land, instead of
improving what they I ad, as they claimed
to he doing well. This was once the case in
Illinois. If they would farm better on less
land, and improve their farms with good
buildings, and keep that everlasting cockle
burr out, the country would look doubly
well and he more prolitable. Another great
lack in that country is tame grass. There
is none, or 1 saw none, and as the cattle eat
out the wild grass weeds take their place,
and a poor pasture is left. If they don't do
something to gel in other grasses, their stock
growing must come to an end.
From Waco I went to my brother's. He
has been (here five years, and bought laud
at five dollars an acre, now worth twenty.
It raine l most of the time I was there, and
such a soil, black wax .soil they called it.
No plough ceuld scour, an-l the only way I
could get it otT my shoes was to take my
knife and cut it off. "Oh, you will get over
that," said L. 1'., "after you have been here
awhile. They all fall into the ways of the
country after being here awhile." I might,
but do not believe it. My brother had been
to town with his buggy, and got caught in
the rain, and the mud pasted his wheels up
so that he had to leave his buggy and go
home on horseback. I do uot think I would
tret used to that and like it.
The -country seemed to have plenty of
water, but mostly from cisterns, which are
so different from any we have here that 1
will describe them. They are dug about 20
feet in the rock (with which most of the
country about Waco is underlaid) to within
from four lo teh feet of the surface, bricked
in) at the ton like the neck of a jug, and Ihe
stone part jugged out, as ihey call it, to fif
teen feet wide. This is to keep a large sup
ily of water deep in the gnuiiiil, io keep
.ii I ati-1 pure, and such ll decs.
A great lack in that country is milk and
butler, and I doubt if they ever can make it
a dart-v country, 1ml ii can be "leailv lm
proved, tor a country so rich in can hi ncol
n it he so scarce in milk thai ii is sol I it t lo
cents a quart, i'mt before lle-y can succeed
in dairying they must have cuol, deep cel
lars, like their cisterns, ari l tame grass, or
sumelhitiu heller llian the wild grass for feed
for cows. Another relic of the wild age of
the country is ihat the cows hold up their
rnrik. This I think km I treatment luel er
ly weaning the cull' would remedy, especial
ly with young cows. I!ut perhaps llicy inhe
rat the trick like the bucking mule, I tried
one of the latter, and went very well t he
first day, but the neeoud 1 tried to take my
grip sack on the pummel of the saddle and
as soon as (he tieast lelt its toucii lie bucked.
I could keep on with both hands, hut when
I tried to hold on with one hand and carry
the sack in the othsr I went sprawling on to
the ground,
I rode orer the country about eight miles
to see a man who had several hundred hors
es to sell and had offers for several car loads
at a head. On the same route 1 met a
man who was collecting toeellier a lot to ship,
and on inquiring the price I concluded, tak
ing quality and n'ue into account, I could do
better io buy at home. I saw several flocks
of sheep, each having a man w ith a horse to
tend them. 1 was told they were very low
in price and the owners anxious to sell. 1
judged the fencing up of ranges and the
liccp owners not having enough land lelt tor
grazing purposes had something to do witu
liscoirr amnii them. At any rate, had they
owned the land and hud it fenced the dollar
and a half a day it cost for a man to tend the
sheep would have been saved.
Ihe prarrres would have looked lietter to
me had it not been for the weeds growing all
over them and the farms. Hut all along the
railroads and creeks the cockle bur appeared
to grow to perfection. I thought they need
ed a law ngaitisi it like that in Illinois again
Canada thistles.
As 1 had agreed to meet a man at Sweet.
water on Tuesday, the 22d, 1 left my broth
er's on Monday and took the route via Fort
W orlli to Sweetwater distance .J0O miles. 1
1 raveled mostly in (lie night and early morn
ing, but from what 1 saw of the country I
thought I had never seen one more barren
and worthless. Everything was dried up,
xcept the muskeet tree, which alone looked
green. Ihe man 1 met there was to snow me
a section of land lie had fenced near town.
He was on hand with team arid buggy and 1
was soon riding over the land. After looking
il over, anil where the sixty head of cattle on
the place got water, I examined a twenty acre
lot a man was improving for a garden and
fruit orchard.
Here I became convinced of the produc
tiveness of the soil without irrigation. I saw
peach trees and grape vines of larger growth
than could grow in Illinois and not showing
the least sign of drouth, although they said
it had not rained a drop for over 100 days,
the vines looking well, but the first and
largest crop was gone. The soil is a rich,
reddish loam, does not dry up hard and
bake, but remains loose and mellow and I
judged w-iuld plow up evenly including the
first breaking.
I called on a Mr. J. W. Posey, to whom 1
had a line of introduction from our towns
man, lr. .1. 0. Harris, who is agent for lands
in that country and who had frequently told
me of the productiveness of the lands, but of
which I had taken but little heed as 1 con
sidered him interested and if he could not
give a good account lie had better not give
any. Mr. Posey took me into his garden
where ho had pencil trees three years old in
bearing. His trees were like the others,
large of their age and looked healthy and
showing no sign of drouth. Mr. 1'. had
plenty of good ripe water melons on the sec
ond growth of which 1 feasted, and as good
as ever I ate in Illinois. Mr. 1'. said he had
them that weighed 100 lbs. I had intended
to stay another day and gone out in the
country but my partner got a dispatch from
home and we had to leave that evening
But while I was there I had a chance to
talk with several from the country. I learned
there was little attention paid to funning,
but all to stock 9heep add cattle but most
ly to sheep. I saw one man who hud been
I there five years and wanted to sell out. He
wns from Illinois and weut there tor his
health and had got it, and no farming or
stock suited him. lie was not used to it and
did not like it and was not making it pay,
and to judge from his own story I should
1 1 not think he was. lie sum lie had one hun-
I 1 1 . 1 1 1 ..1
urea auu iweuij iios iiisi npiiug wiei
one hundred acrss fenced, but not hog tight,
and as lie had melons and a garden he did
not wish to have destroyed he took his hogs
away seven or eight miles and dumped them
to root hog or die, hoping they would not
come back until his melons were over, and
they could get fat on muskeer beans
which grow in cluster on the muskeet tree,
a tree about the size of and looks xery much
like a peach tree. They grow two crops in a
year and cattle and hogs get fat on them, so
I am informed. Hut in this lie was misiak
en. About fifty came back and he took his
shot gun and killed several and gave them
such a scare that they left. He had about
one thousand sheep last winter, but nearly
half had died. Most all the lambs, he said,
had a suit of epidemic, took cold in the head
and died. Judging from the way he took
care of his hogs I think they died from ne
glect, want of shelter and teed during the
col I spells of last winter, for 1 was told the
winter there was extreme for that conn
try. My brother told me he had suffered
more from cold in Texas than he ever had
in Illinois or Minnesota, not because it was
colder, but from being less hardened and less
prepared.
I regretted I had not time to go out a mile
or two and see a farm in plain sight, Btarted
by a Californian from Los Angelos. I was
told he considered it as good a fruit country
as California, and from the looks of his place
at that distance he had quite a start, as it
showed corn or sorghum in shocks and other
improvements. In the eveuing we slant 1
home, and the brightest, clearest moonlight
evening 1 ever saw, a clear bracing air, and
one could see far over the valleys and hills
by which Sweetwater is surrounded, for the
town is beautifully located in a broad valley,
with hills on the south, west and north, but
several miles back with a gentle slope tow
ards ihe town.
Now any oue acquainted with California
can judge somewhat of the looks of the coun
try in its driest time, but that was ju-t the
time 1 wanted to see it. Many would say
you came a little too early; if you had wait
ed until the fall rains you would have seen
a different country. 1 wanted to see it a
its worst and to judge of its capacity to stand
it.
About the society of the country I ein say
but little except my brothers ne'ghbors,
who seem very friendly and he said they
were ever w illing to divide anything they
had in the way of fruits and the like. In
this I judge they are like Illinois people in
an early day before wealth and aristocracy
made it congeanial only for the wealthy.
As I had a pass out and back over Ihe
same route, nothing more occurred worthy
of notice except a turnover ia Arkansas. I ,
wa-t the only onein the car without a scratch
Seven or eight w.-re pretty badly bruised
one man ha I a iloh pur .ml of 1011H an
one lady had a wrist broken. I had I een
told that in case of such an accident to sicze
hold of the car and hail' on was the I f
way to keep from beiag hurt and I found it
so in this case.
What i have siid about the country
Irom my own obscrraiion and 11 1 have crreu
mi judgment it is but human, but from ihe
