Tub Qazkttk again takes occasion to

A GREAT PJIOJEOT
Ono of tho greatest and most Important
enterprises now receiving tho attention
of capitalists is tho construction of a ship
canal across tbo northern portion of tho
Florida peninsula thus uniting tho wa
ters of tho Atlantic and the Gull
of Mexico This is an undertak
ing of magnitude it in true
but competent engineering skill has
decldod that It Is feasible and at a cost
that that Is not tho benellts considered
at all extravagant A company has
already been formed to carry out tho
project and a routo solectcd Tno St
Marys rlvor and Okcellnokeo Leko aro to
bo utilized as a part of tho course The
actual digging that will havo to bo done
will not exceod It Is said over forty
rall s and it Is estimated that tho sum of
7000000 will cover all tho expense
If this work Is over accomplished It will
havo tho effect of greatly cheapening
octan shipments to Now Orleans and
Galveston for via tho canal tho ocean
routo will be 800 miles shorter than It is
now This will permit a decided ro
dnction of freight rates as compared
with present rates and so lmracnBo
aro tho annual shirments from New York
by wator to Texas that tho saving to
consumers will bo proportionately Im
mense Add to this tho fact that tho
always perilous Florida roefs tho dread
of uuderwrltors and whoro so many
human lives havo been sacrificed will be
avoided and It Is easy to Imagine how
popular tho canal routo will become
This is essentially an era of great under
takings and there Is overy reason to bo
Hove that capital will tako hold of this
and carry it to successful completion
simply becanso it will pay and prove of
great benetlt to commorco To Texas it
is a matter of real Interest

It would scom that tho denial of any
peculiar ldontlty of lntorcsS between
farmers and Knights of Labor Is not re
stricted to Texas A Boston telegram
says that forty farmers ot Win
chester Lexington Woburn and Ar
lington met at tho houao of Mr
Walter Itussell In Arlington and
It Is said resolved to employ no man who
Is a Knight of Labor It Is further said
that they aro willing to bind themselves
In 1000 each to observe tho agreement
In tho early part of December tbo farmers
of these towns aro accustomed to hlro
tholr hands for a year at llxod wages and
they fear that a stnko may bo ordered by
tho Knights lu tho summer or fall when
tholr crops would suffer bv neglect un
less somo understanding with tholr cm
ployes is reached now Ono fanner Is
reported as saylngi I dont want
my farm hands subject to tho dlotatcs of
such an irresponsible man as Mooney
tho ono who ordered tho Btrlkoot the tan
ners at Winchester and then attor taking
tho men from work acknowledged that
ho tjad raado a mistake In doing so and
ordered them back Supposing that he
was to do the saino thing with farm labor
ers and find out ho was wrong ids
error ot judgment might causa tho loss of
nil my crops
Tho effort to unito tho alliance and
Knights of Labor in Texas was for polit
ical purposes only and but lor tho lntor
chauga of membership between tho two
orders tho aliianco would not now bo
wrestling with tho threat ot division con
sequent npon the action at Clobnrno
Tho Knights ot Labor are essentially
political lo their demands and the order
hes demonstrated that it has no hope of
existence withont partisan organization
and action by tho movement to form
now party Tho scheme of a union with
tho aliianco in Texas originated with the
political adyenturcrs who bad become
Knights for offlco only and tho work of
Interchanging membership was vigor
ously prosecuted prior to the election
and dcsplto all warnings many members
of the aliianco fell into the trap Tho
result was inevitable and now while tho
national leaders ot tho Knights aro
organizing a political party that proposes
a raid on land ownership tho farmers
who aro peculiarly a landbotding class
aro compelled to undo tho work of disin
tegration begun by adlllatlon with tho
Knights of Lab or
There is nothing in common botween
tho declared purposes of tho two orders
political or industrial and tho effort to
unite them can bo traced directly td those
who have some selfish purpose to attain
by such union Men who llvo In the
town want to uso the aliianco as a means
to bulldoze pcoplo Into patrorlzlng them
and will generally bo found to bo somo
newspaper or professional falluro without

A JIAID ON GltEEIi OOUNTY
When tho Twentieth legislature meets
thcro will bo another attempt to make a
raid on tho lands In Greer county belong
ing to tho school and public debt
funds Thoso who havo taken tho
pains to read tho report of Land
Commissioner Walsh recently published
cannot havo failed to note how
how hard ho dies on this point Mr
Walsh as commissioner of tho land offlce
allowed holders of veteran certificates to
locate tho samo upon these lands and Is
sued patents Tho attorneygeneral in
terfered on tho ground that such loca
tions wero Illegal and Instituted suit for
tho cancellation of the patents IIo was
sustained by tho district court of Travis
county and tho defendants havo ap
pealed to tho suprpmo court which tri
bunal has not yet rendered a decision In
hiB report Mr Walsh shows that ho de
sires to antlclpato or forestall the action
ot tho supromo court for ho suggests
that tho legislature shall confirm
these patents issued on veterans cer
tificates with tho condition attached
that they return Held notes for a like
amount for tho school fund And con
temporaneous with this suggestion ot
Mr Walshs It is noteworthy that notices
like this aro boglnnlng to appear In tho
Austin papers

cral has sought to disturb
Tbls Is a klud of omnibus measure that
is omprehonslvQ enough to cover tho
whole field should occasion require It
Is at least frank and Is fair notlco that
tho holders ot these votoran certificates
are going to put forth another heroic
effort with tho legislature There Is a
wholesome apprehension that the
supremo court Is qulto likely to
afllrm tho judgment rendered by
the district court at Austin which
cancelled tho patents and henca tho pat
entees havo decided to hedge by going to
tho legislature lor relief they will not
tako tho chances of the courts Their
courso is legitimate and wellconsidered
lor in this matter tho legislature la supe
it
1 vt
rior to tho supremo court put tho ques
tion Is It the Twtmllelh legislature can
bo induced to divert these lands trora tho
purposes for which thoy have been set
aside would It bo right or expedient to
do so It Is possible that such a meas
ure might bo engineered through tho
house bnt it is very probable tho movo
will be scotched in the senate Tho latter
body at tho last session entered a de
cidedly emphatic protest when it passed
Mr Harrhons Greer county bill against
Mr Walshs policy a revival of which
under legislative sanction Is now pro
posed It would bo Interesting to know
how nyiny ot thoso veterans certifi
cates aro now held by vctorans
There is a wellgrounded belief
that tho bulk ot tbem havo been
acquired by land agents and speculators
who had an oyo to tho main chanco and
who located tho certificates and got tho
patents which tho attorneygeneral and
District Jndgo Walkor say are illegal
As a mattor of sentiment howover it
will bo mado to appear that It is tho old
veterans who aro to bo tho beneficiaries
It is a shrewd bold raid that is con
templated but Tub Gazkttk does not
bellevo tho legislature will sanction it
for thcro can bo no doubt that the people
will prefer the lands shall be kept subject
to tho purposes to which they wcro ap
propriated Legislators aro forewarned
and therefore forearmed
