PREPARING FOR 1907.
Southwest Texas is coming out
splendidly in the crop result this year
Her early truck and berry yield was
more than average and as prices red-
ited were satisfactory the prospects
for greater acreage next year are re-
markaoly good Corn has not been as
good a crop as was hoped but it is not
the failure that it has been written
down while the prospects for cotton
are really superior. The ravages of
the weevil will not be as destructive
in the south where the early maturing
of the crop put much of it out of the
way of the weevil and in this south-
west the crop will be more than an
average The tendency over all this
section is to greater acreage for all
crops. The railroad missionaries are
bringing in good farmers to take up
the farms that are being opened on
the lands hitherto devoted to cattle
and every year will see a larger acre-
age under corn and cotton as well as
In all that is generally included under
truck farming This latter Is to be
distinctively the industry of the coast
country for there the danger of frost
is minimized and the early products
lead all other sections in the markets
as far north as Chicago. It is the early
vegetables and berry that brings the
high prices and the earlier Jhe cab-
bage and the potatoes and the straw-
berries and the beans and peas can be
shipped north the greater the profits
as a rule. This consideration alone is
giving to the truckmen of this south-
west the call over other sections and
the Investments in this Une of culture
are bound to Increase from year to
year. One good season encourages an-
other. and this year will be a breeder
for the year 19(17.
The abandonment of Fort Brown is
the solution of the trouble between the
citizens there and the colored troops t
There were substantial reasons for I
this military action.
—
The deputy collectosbip of customs
in this district and in the filling of all i
such vacancies in the future will be
determined according to the rules of
the civil service. This will insure the i
office to white applicants in future.
Relief calls are growing louder in ■
Valparaiso and the need of the people |
grows insistent.
The report of the militiary officers
upon the affair at Fort Brown throws 1
no new light upon the subject of cause
or participants in the disturbance. I
That there was bad feeling between
the troops and the citizens who re
aented 'he presence of colored troops '
there is certain; also that thia feeling
was aggravated by the deprivations 'o
which the soldiers were subjected in
•11 drinking places and bouses of
amusement being closed to them This
feeling grew till It led to the greatest 1
outrage ever perpetrated on a city in
the United States by the troops sta-
tioned there for Its protection The
decision of the war department to
withdraw all colored troops from
Texas is wise.
That Illinois convention took Bryan
a go.ng and a-comlng It refused
both of his requests the one that de
munded the resignation of Sullivan
•nd the one that requested that no
endorsement oe given himself unleat
Sullivan was displaced from the dem-
ocratic national committee. This con-
clusion was not reached without a bit-
♦tr tight in convention but in the ro 1
call on the motion to table the reso-
lution calling for the resignation of
Sullivan Mr. Bryan could not mne
ter one-third the vote of the ccnv n
tion Tnat he Is the choice of th**
Illinois democ-ats for president is ev
ident but th;*’ the convention is not
led by him like a dancing bear by a
tope la also evident
CHILE IN FEARFUL STRAITS.
The situation in Chile is deplorable.
There Is scarcely a rift in the clouds
that hover and settle thicker an i
darker on that unfortunate country.
The resources and charities of the
whole country are taxed to supply th-*
wants of th-* thousands who are »a
danger of starvation and these sup-
plies. when secured are so difficult of
transportation owing to the wretchol
condition of tne mountain roads and
of rail or regular freight
wagon tran>*|K>rtation that It is almost
tm|>osslble to meet the needs of the
thousands in the interior upon whom
this calamity has fallen. Even iu
the immediate vicinity of the largei-
cities that have suffered so severely
the houseless and the homeless push
up to the very walls waylay the relief
trains that start for the more distant
settlements and |K»unce ravenously on
the food. Every report from the
more remote centers of the destruc-
tion only adds to the difficulties of
the situation and enlarges the theater
of the calamity. The death roll :n
creases and *he list of destroyel
property grows longer and longer as
the days lengthen into the first week
of the calamity. The natural diffi
cultles of the situation are tour fold
fit cater than those of San Francisco
and there is not one-tenth of the re-
sourcefulness in the people nor a na-
'ion like this to fail back upon for
relief. Al) the government and
•he wealth of the people who are pot-
seised of means can do is being done
and theie Is s large unselfishness dis-
played by all classes of the people.
But hunger c*lls are not to be al-
ie'ieed by anything less than food an 1
the thousands of maimed and sick
must be cared for. The situation is
ore that calls loudly on the philan
tl.ropy of those United States and ft
should be answered in the most
speedy and elective manner possible.
The cotton crop does not promise as
great as before the weevils came in.
but It will be in excess of the crop of
last year.
Dowie is balked in every effort to
tecuie another foothold in the Zion
from which be is practically excluded.
All his overtures even to the extent
of requesting some overture from Vo-
lira. have been rejected and he
stands on the ruins of bis stupendous
attempt to create a religious hier-
archy that should fill the earth with
scarcely a friend to support his feeble
frame and without a following to sup
port his pretensions.
It seems to be the policy of the re-
publicans of this city and district and
state to make all their communications
to the party and the public through
democratic channels.
Ohio is swept by the Bryan mael
ptrom and the democratic convention
rf that state reaches out its baud to ।
!<reet Illinois in its endorsement of
the man who tried so unsuccessfully
to butt into the presidency on two
memorable occasions. That is all
tight but it uoes not land Bryan a
winner for the white bouse stakes by
a very large majority nor does it
even insure him against being
scratched before the candidates come
to the post.
There Is little prospect of the iden
tification of those negro troopers at
Fort Brown who shot up the town.
The greater the pity.
Ampbell is making himself solid
with the labor hosts of Texas and
arrangements are made for him to
O| cn his campaign at Palestine on
Labor Day with the greatest blast Dt
i labor trumpets that the democratic
band can tncster. Colonel Tom knows
low to catch a crowd and what he
docs not know or has not found out
In hie past experience he is intbly
I to learn within the period to elapse
tetween this and the election. He
is conciliating his enemies and solid-
ifying his own following and prepar-
irg to be the coming Hogg of Texas.
I
. Julius Real is a republican among
republicans and If elected to the state
i senate will prove a long-headed
strong-minded clear-brained and in-
corruptible representative of his sena-
torial district.
When Senator Tillman represents
Theodore Roosevelt as Just itching for
the republican nomination and that he
would lie sorely disappointed if the
nomination was not forced on him.
the great pitchforker draws on his
Imagination for his news. But If he
! Is correct why not take his pitchfork
and do the scratching that cures that
itching?
Cotton is coming to the gins in
southwest Texas beyond the capacity
of the gins to care for It. and the gins
are largely increased in numbers end
capacity over those of last year. There
might be better evidences of the splen-
' did cotton yield of southwest Texas
than these facts afford but these are
1 sufficient to satisfy the cotton grow-
lers.
While other stations are shipping
cotton and boasting of the bales put
on the market Brenham rejoices In
the shipment of 170 bales of cotton
cloth manufactured In her cotton mill
and sent to New York. Why was not
this cotton sold In Texas instead of
paying the freight to New York and
back again? Also. If Brenham can
ship 1’0 bales of cotton cloth from
her factory what is the matter with
San ntonio putting up a cotton mill
and shipping twice ’hat amount*
There would be good business for the
mill good business for the city good
profits for the cor.on growers in this
part of the state if ihat were the case
and there Is not a single thing In
the way of that doing but the not
doing of it.
Grain crop reports from the great
wheat and corn and oat and rye states
show an Immense vield.
The validity of the district improve-
ment bonds of this city cannot be se-
riously questioned and it is matter
of regret that a local blunder by the
sensational press of this city should
have created the impression that these
bonds had been pronounced upon good
authority unconstitutional. That mis-
information has created an impression
unfavorable to investment in these se-
curities. and It is preventing the Im-
provements that wait on the sale of
these bonds and the conversion of
the proceeds Into the treasury of the
improvement districts. It is easy to
create a sensation but hard to undo
Its unfortunate effects.
lEXflS PRESS PICKINGS
New Orleans Item; While only two
small conflicts have occurred in one
of the provinces the administration
forces dispersing the disturbing par-
Ties. and the presumption is that the
administration will be able to prompt-
ly suppress the malcontents yet the
unfortunate fact remains that the
spirit of insubordination and revolu-
tion has appeared at an early date in
the existence of the young republic
and no good for the future.
This in conectlon with a more ex-
tended notice of the revolution in Cu-
ba. That revolution has taken enugh
shape to unmask a plot to assassinate
the president of the republic and 11
arrests and convictions in connection
with the plot are recorded. Gomez
Is at the head of the revolt that may
ripen Into revolution for Cuba is ripe
for a rising at any time. Peace is
her strange work and revolution her
normal condition and has been for a
hundred years. It would be strange if
her last fracas would close out so sud-
denly and for all time her revolution-
ary work. That republic Is only half
civilized and home government Is by
no means an assured success for al-
ready the Insurgents have made open
fight at San Luis and more than hold
their own.

El Paso Herald: Bryan has been
Introduced to folks as “the next presi-
dent of the United States" for a mat-
ter of ten or twelve years now. but he
never seems to tire of it. However
it is a hatmless pleasantry.
It takes a very little to please the
Bryanite until the defeat of his idol
and then he stands agape at the re-
sult and immediately organizes for an-
other sure thing in the way of a
Bryan election. The country is get-
ting used to Billy butting In to a presi-
dential fight and would feel lonesome
without him.

Tyler Courier: Senators Bailey and
Culberson undertook to make a gov-
ernor of their own They centered on
Judge Brooks and gpve him a boost
and then looked for the whole earth to
come their way; and because the peo-
ple would persist in going in a dif
ferent direction not to be outdone
Bailey and then Culberson jumped in-
to the Campbell wagon and reached
for the reins but they were held by
Colonel Jones of Tyler who said the
road was a new one and one the sen
atora had not heretofore traveled and
'hat he knew the road the Campbells
had marked out. He proceeoed. but
not until he had requested the sena
i tors to sit down so as not to obstruct
! the view to the new scenery. the llko
of which has not been visible for about
eight years in Texas.
The Courier is not alone in its opln-
I ion of the work attempted so unsuc
C’ssfully by the senators from this
1 state In the late primary election and
it may be that when the election in
I the legislature comes with Governor
I Campbell and his friends in the sad
die there will be an aftermath to that
reaping of the gubernatorial harvest
Bailey Is trying to cover his tracks as
the power behind the throne of that
Brownsville muss but the United
States military authorities settled that
before Bailey had taken his sleeping
birth of Washington. That attempt
to Jump Into the Campbell caravan
and take a ride on the Campbell will
rot decleve any one. The way the
riot act was tead to Cully and Joe was
something the like of which they had
not hoard in years. There would be
some hope for these senatorial kids
If the riot act were read to them a lit-
tle oftener. and they were made to
see that they neither own the state of
Texas nor the democratic party. They
i are too small to make governors yet
la while.
