THE WACO NEWS, FRIDAY MAY 6 1892.

TO ADVERTISERS.
Thk Nkws will tKko advertising
with the understanding that if it has
not a larger heal circulation than any
daily paper published in Waoo, no
ohargu will be made for the advertise
ment, Judgo Clark showed tho peoplo of
Lorona to day whj Texas should be
turned loose.
There are no mosquitoes on Judge
Gerald'b opponents. The ju'lge keeps
them fanned off.
The third party in Texas is trying
very hard to get into tho saddle, but
Democracy has not dismounted yet.
Kemember that every dollar planted
in Waco dirt now will double in a lew
years. This is tho coming city of this
great state.
The trap sprung by Judge Clark at
Cameron caught the governor, and the
trap sprung by 'he governor at Cle
burne also caught the governor.
Somo of Hogg's friends claim that
ho can swollow Clark. If he should
do this, the preponderance of Frains
in his body would render his head
very light.
If Clark is insincere in his profes
sion of friendliness to the commisson,
is Hogg sincere in statement that
he will not oppose the elective feature
if the people want it ?
Cleveland's star is again climbing
the eastern horizm and its beams Hash
across the continent and sparkle in
the bluo waters of the San Francisco
bay. No charces on this.
The subscription list of The News
is increasing so rapidly that it will be
compelled to put in a new and faster
press and negotiations are pending
now for a Perfecting machine.
It now appear.- that Harrison will
Tiave a walk over for the Kepublioan
presidonticl nomination Cleveland's
chances for the Democratic endorse
ment are almost equally as good.
Houston said to Santa Anna:
"Turn Texas Loose," and she was
turned loose. George Clark says to
Hogg, "Turn Texas Loose," and by
the eternal she will be turned loose.
Texas was partially united yester
day and the day before. Tho thongs
that bind hor arc in thc right hands a9
the two debates prove and it only re
quires a little more time to turn her
looso.
Chairman Reagan furnishes the re
spectability, Sawnie Robertson the
brains, Aleck Terrell tho boomerangs,
Larmer Shaw the blubber and his;
excellency the bombast for the Hogg
campaign.
The campaign committee is row do
ing some excellont work for thc little
giant, but he is doing as much for
himself. He demolishes his oponents
asfastasthey jump up against him,
They go down before him as a forest
beforo a oyclone.
Tho Alliance leader in Tennesseo,
Jno II McDowell, has declared that
he will not support Judge Turney for
governor in the ovent of his nomina
tion. He wants Buohanao, tho present
incumbent, re-elected. He was
supported beforo by both Dcmoorats
and Alliance men.
It is reported that a syndicate is
planning for tho purohase of Proctor
Springs wi.h the view of converting
the property into a park. If this
piece was properly improved, it would
make the most attractive park in tho
wholo country. It oould bo turned
into a minature New York Central
Park, It has more natural advanta
ges than any park property in tho
south,
THE CITY AND THE COUNTRY.
Tho determined effort of the Hogg
managers to array tho city and coun
try people against oaoh other promises
sucoss in somo particular places whioh
aro distinctively rural after tho fashion
of tho famous sottler in Arkansas to
whom the traveler appealed for infor
mation, but tho oouotiy people and
tho town peoplo who wilt caBt the
controlling votes in this contest aro
too intelligent to be controlled by
suoh a sentiment. The farmor of to
day knows full well that for a market
for everything outsido of his wheat,
oats and cotton ho must depend upon
tho city. Ho cannot sell a bushel of
potatoes for shipment, nor his fruit
nor his milk or butter. Ho has striv
en all theso years to put away a littlo
something raising cotton, but the prico
coos steadily down and as the years
go by and leave the farmers poorer and
poorer, it bcoouies more ovident that
some other orop must be relied upon
for money. How shall we ohango tho
condition of things? Wo cannot do
it b killing the towns or crippling
the cities. The peeple in the cities
and towns, afford a market for the
various produots of the farm. Vegeta
bles, milk, butter, honey, fruit, ber
ries, everything produced in this oli
mate oould bo raised profitably if there
wero bigger towns than thero aro. The
only possiblo redemption for the farm
ers is to obtain a market for these
things which will pay better than cot
ton. Cotton at G cents is out of thc
question yet unless wo encourago a
class of consumers of perishable pro
duots it is impossible to reduoo thc
production of cotton, the only remedy '
vouchsafed for the ruinous prices.
The condition of tho farmers of a
country is measured by tho size and
number of tho cities in that country.
In New York state, Massachu
setts, Pennsylvania, Illinois,
and somo other smaller states the
farmers are prosperous and happy,
because they find a ready market for
everything they raise, and the ready
market is in the magnificent cities
which dot those grand old common
wealths and contain the wealth and
enterprise of all of them. The men
who push are in the cities. Thoy are
thc restless, adventurous, pioneers of
modern civilization, inviting the world
to como on to grander achievement,
more sublime and loftier purposes.
They are industrious and sagacious,
but they are liberal with their wealth.
They are not to say more charitable
than their country cousins, but they
are freo in their investments. They
arc ever on the watoh for somo now
enterprise to employ their oapital and
supply labor with the opportunities
necessary for its maintenance. The
more ol these kind of people wo havo
the better times for tho farmer, for
they make a markot for his products.
Ho does not havo to raise a non
perishable crop which, because of its
quality of preservation, is always a
glut upon tho market Tho interests
of the farmers and tho town pooplo aro
idcntioal. When a poor orop is raisod
tho man in tho city suffers. When
thc city iswisited with financial strin
gency tho farmers suffer. When trade
is paryhzed and enterprise is BtifiUd
both suffer and that is just what is.tho
matter is today in Texas. If tho
source of tho evil has been discovered
soonor by tho cities than tho oountry
it only proves that tho effect upon
urban paoplo in more direot than vpon
the rural population, but tho effect is
none the less damaging to oithor.
When prosperity returns and capital
onco more soeks investment in Texas
the good effect will first bo felt in the
cities and will bo transmitted to tho
country as trade revives and the great
heart that of our industrial system be
comes Btoadier. Our industrial pulse
is exceedingly low at present, and
something must bo dono to revivo it.
We should not begin by trying to leg
islate fpr this class or against that
class but that will benefit all classes
and repeal all laws that does not
MONEY DOES NOT CROW ON TREES.
A great daily papor is a pretty big
institution says tho Iconoclast. Thoro
is a very great deal of work to be dono
and this must bo divided among dif
ferent departments. There is tho
editorial, local, commercial, nows,
sporting, and snake-story departments.
It is sometimes a very difficult task
to make all these deputments flop
together. Now hero is a great cty
daily which is eternally bemoaning
the dearth of dol'ars and tearfully
pleading that tho mints be thrown
opon to the whito metal as tho only
panacea for tho dire poverty ot tho
masses. When it is not harping on
this subject it is -'pointing with
prido" to tho accuracy of its commer
cial reports. From tho latter I clip
the following, wired in by its trus'cd
New York correspondent-
"I am informed of tho highest fi
nancial authority that there is plenty
of money in Now York but it
doesn't grow on trees. Dank coffers
are overflowing with idle dollars, and
they aro so cheap that tho Union
Trust Company will allow only 1 per
cent on deposits, while bankeis arc
declining now accounts. An author
ity says- 'Commission houses are
overrun with bank messengers offer
ing to lend them funds on almost any
sort of collateral.' "
Now either tho man who grinds out
thoso plaints about the scarcity of
money is a variegated ass, or the
paper is sadly in need of a now finan
cial reporter. As is well known, a
groat daily cannot afford to print
misleading finanoial reports,
there is no sentimont in
business. The lying on a nowspaptr
is confined chieQy to the editorial and
circulation departments. A reporter
who misquoted cotton, or corn, money
or sour mash would be fired inconti
nently. As tho Iconaolast has repeatedly
stated, there is plenty of money in the
country to do all the monoy work; but
"it does not grow on trees." Nor
would the free coinage of silver enable
the farmor to harvest circus tickets
from gooseberry bushes. Pouring
some millions more of "good money"
into trado channels wero like pouring
water into a full goblet or beer into
the Houston Bohemian club. Delug
ing tho country with seventy cent dol
lars would but give us another taste
of confederate shin-plasters.
There were undoubutedly quite a
number of people who had formed the
idea Irom listening attentively to the
short corner orations of the friends of
the two prominent candidates for gov
ernor, that when they met face to face
there would probably bo a pouring of
goro, a champing of flesh and a rat
tling of dry bones. A great many
assembled at Cameron who, doubtless,
expected to see a fist fight or two any
how. The two distinguished candi
dates, however, met on friendly terms,
shook hands cordially, at least appear
ed to, and actually sat there without
a soul between them for ever so long.
They shook their fists at each other
while speaking, but that don't count.
There were some who were disap
pointed becuse tho governor and the
"little giant" did not clinch and
"chaw" on each other awhile.
Tho weather is at hot but The
Nkws fans aro kcoping tho people
cool.
College Heights.
Tho second great sale of lots at
College Heights takes place on Tues
day May 11. As everyone knows,
this is among tho most desirable
suburbon property in Waco. It has
tho advantago of an cleotrio oar line,
besides artesian water enough to sup
ply a small oity. That is big money
in these lots, because they make desi
rablo homes.
Voters Take Notice.
All Democratic voters of tho Fourth
ward are requested to moot to morrow
night at the court houso and tako part
in the selection of delogates to the
oounty convention wlioh will assem
