The Hay Crop.
Fort Wurth: Throughout the
southwest and'the' northwest re-
ports indicate' that the largest hay
crop on record has beeu gathered
this year, and it was secured gen-
erally in good condition.
In some localities in, Texas the
yield was not as large as it prom-
ised to be six weeks since, but the
shrinkage from the highest esti-
mate made has not been, large.
The drouth, which affected many
seotiqns of t^e southwest, came too
late to materially cut down the av-
erage yield of the meadows* in
fact, at some points it came just in
time to furnish almost ideal weath-
er for harvesting the crop.
It is of course too early as yet to
form an estimate in tons of the
Texas crop, but it is certain that
all previous records have been
passed. The returns show that
the acreage for this season is prac-
tically the same as that of last
year. The very smallest estimate
yet made is that the crop is 10 per
cent greater this year than last,
and other estimates place the figure
as high as 40 per cent,
northern farmers are in a position
to hold their crops if they see fit to
do so.

We approve the annexation of
the Hawaiian islands as being wise
and tending to increase our com-
merce and trade, providing a safe,
convenient aud sufficient xiaval
base and coaling stations, ^nd add-
ing much .to the wealth aud re-
sources of our country. We insist
that the annexation of the Ha-
t&i ruination of all wild animals
that prey upon the large herds or
destroy the grass on the prairies
pf the state.
We commend to the people of
Texas the constitutional amend-
ment providing for pensions to tlip
ex-confederates, residents of Texas.
We condemn the democratic
mismanagement of tlie available
school fund and strenuously op-
pose the resolution adopted by tlie
Galveston convention recommend-
ing the repeal of the law authoriz-
ing the expenditure of 1 per cent of
the permanent school fund for
present educational purposes. We
believe the repeal of that law
would be an unjust discrimination
against the children of this gener-
ation, and leave open —to specula-
tors that which rightfully belongs
to the children of the state. We
deprecate the fact that under the
presant regime the school teachers
of Texas are unable to collect their
pay as earned, but are forced to
accept in lieu thereof time war-
rants, subject to heavy discount,
and we favor such legislation as
will not only remedy this defect,
but provide the most liberal sup-
port of our state free school system,
a system ever conducive to a high
standard of citizenship.
We denounce the present fee
bill, and demand its repeal.
We demand for •all persons with-
in our borders the equal protection
of the laws, aud denounce mob law
and anarchy in all forms.
We believe that the efforts of the
republican party of Texas, at the
coming election, should be confined
to the election of representatives
to congress, and we therefore

Birminghim, Ala., Aug. 21.—A
party of labor agents, representing
a number of pig iron and steel in-
dustries around Chicago, have ar-
rived here for the purpose of se-
curing, 1,500 negro laborers who

3. Th ey rejected the policy of
Bailey w ith respect to territorial
Chicago to perform the heaviest
common work, and it is said that
the Chicago manufacturers were so
well satisfied with this experiment
with Southern negro labor as to
determine upon obtaining all of it
scarce in this district at present,
owing to the flood of orders which

regarded as very doubtful if the
efforts of the western labor agents
here will succeed. At any rate,

were advised by our circular letter
to them of July 2i), if we are cor-
rect that the law requires the ex-
press companies to pay for, affix
and cancel the stamps, then there
can be no doubt that if you require
the customer to pay for the stamp
you have added to his cost oftrans
portation just that much more than
the law permits and arc, therefore,
to that extent guilty of extortion.
It is this feature of the case that
makes it our duty to consider the
question. The revised statutes of
Texas, articles 321 and 322, re-
quire all common carriers to re-
ceive, receipt for and transport
goods over their lines in this state.
Revised statutes, article 4583, de-
clares that express companies are
guilty of extortion if they charge
more than the rate or amount fixed
by this commission,. Revised
statutes, .articles 4579 aud 4504,
makes it the duty of this commis-
sion to see that these laws arc en-
forced and bring suits to recover
penalties for violations. The
United* States stamp act says it
shall -be the duty of -“every com-
mon carrier, express company or
corporation or person, whose oc-
cupation is to act as such, to issue
consignor a bill of lading or receipt
and there shall be duly attached
and canceled to each bill of lading
a stamp. Any failure to issue
shall subject such express company
or person to a penalty of fifty dol-
lars for each offense.”
The word “person” named in
the last part of the section is the
same “person” named in the first
part of the section and is the per-
son following the occupation of
carrying whose duty it is to affix
the stamp aud cau not refer to the
consignor.
We believe that the express com-
pany, whose duty jt is to give the
receipt or hill of lading, is re-
quired to pay fory affix and cancel
the stamp, however unwise or
burdeusome it may be, aud be-,
lieving this to be the law, we have
no alternative but to endeavor to
enforce. Very respectfully,
L. J. Story,
Commissiouer.
The commission lias filed with
the attorney general complaints of
sovoral shippers who have been re-
quired to pay for the stamps.
President Valentine has notified
the railroad commission of the
acceptance by the Wells, Fargo &

A Fort Worthaii just back from
a tour of the northwest, says: “Of
all the crops I ever saw those in
South Dakota are the largest. For
miles there is field after field of
waving grain and ripening corn,
and the greater part of this im-
mense harvest has beeir produced
by men who live in little sod
houses. Only a few years ago
these tremendous grain and corn
fields were unbroken expanses of
grass, virgin prairie, but they have
been settled up with a thrifty and
progressive class of farmers who
have converted the jilains into a
veritable cornucopia. Many of
these farmers iu the .Dakotas and
Nebraska have not a house, nor a
barn, nor a corn crib, or granary,
and the demand for lumber that
will follow the harvesting of this
immense crop will be great.”' •
Rattlesnakes on the Ranges.
Says a Fort Worth report: Rat-
tlesnakes are said to be worse this
year out west than for many years
past; in fact, the oldest inhabitant
can not remember when they wrere
as numerous. Many fine calves
have been bitten, resulting in their
death iu a few hours. The bite is
almost equally fataj to a grown an-
imal, but the action of the poison
is not so rapid.
Rattlers are especially venomous
at this season of the year. It ap-
pears that all kinds of domestic
animals have as great a dread of
them as have humaji beings.
A cattleman from the. plains
says that he ha^seen a horse jump'
tiis length at the sound of the rat-
tle. lie stated that during the
past six weeks he had lost eleven
calves from snake poison, all of
which were bitten about the head
save one, showing that the snakes'
were coiled in the grass and the
animals bitten while feeding. He
said that between the snakes and
the wolves cattlemen had lost a
very fair per eeritage of their
young stock this year.

Wheat Crop* North.
Fort, Worth, Aug. 21.—A Min-
neapolis wheat authority makes au
estimate, based on accurate re-
ports, of the wheat crop this year
of Minuesota and the two Dakotas,
placing the yield at 190,000,000
bushels, as compared with 130,-
000,000 bushels in 1897.’ The
government’s estimate, as stated
iy the interior department for the
three states, was 167,000,000
bushels. Minnesota, with an aore-
of 5,500,000, is put down for 88,-
000,000 bushels; North -Dakota 4,-
700,000 acres, 63,800,000 bushels,
aud South Dakota, with an acreage
of 3,000,000,’is placed at 36,000,-
000 bushels. It is stated that the
average yield shows less increase
than the total yield Would indicate,
because the acreage in the three
states has been increased during
the year fully 2.000.000 acres.
There are many weak places in teh
crop, although the" total yield si

Watermelon Syrup.
Several times lately we have
noted brief references at syrup
making from watermelon juice,
and have wondered why some
systematic efforts have not been
made to utilize this product in
that way. The older generation of
people can doubtless call to mind
syrup made by the slaves—on a
small scale and in a rude way, it
is true, but it was not at all a bad
substitute for the geuuiue article.

stripes slowly ascended there was
breathless suspense. But as it
reached the top, cheers broke
forth from tlie crowds below and
salutes of- twentv-oue guns were
again fired by tlie Hawaiian bat-
tery and the Philadelphia.
A few minutes after the hoist-
ing of the official flag others were
raised on the two side towers and
the military headquarters.
Minister Sewall then read a pro-
clamation stating that President
McKinley directs that the civil,
judiciary and military powers of
the government shall continue to
be exercised by the officers of the
republic of Hawaii. All such
officers will be required to take an
oath of allegiance to the United
States and renew their bonds to
the United States government.
The municipal legislation of Ha-
waii and the existing regulations
will practically remain in force
until the eaugress of the United
States shall otherwise determine.
