Texas Fanner pertinently asks his
tarmerreaders : 'Are you hauling wa-

Ished make you a well cistern or tank.
Count the time you lose hauling water.
It will pay for a tank or well in a year."

In the general wreck' of the demo-
cratic party in the lite election it is
gratifying to observe that with one
skele exceouon: Texas elected a solid
delegation to the next congress and
even that exception not a populist
but a straight-out republican.

Up to going to press last week the
returns frosa this congressional district
indicated the election of Gilliland and
was so reported In the Reporter and

Mr Cockrell. whose plurality will prob-
ably reach 1000 or more.

Many localities throughout the
northern cotton belt of Ttxas report
heavy frost on the night of thr 1 ith
killing the top crop and stopping cot-
ton from fruiting. The ground every-
where is too dry and hard for fall plow-
ing and rain in all sections is needed
badly..
The construction of the Nicaragua
canal it is claimed would open a mar-
ket for millions of tons' of coat wool
lumber and many other things to the
people of the South and would make
an over-production of cotton almost
impossible. Texas being especially
interested the Reporter seconds the
suggestion that her people should take
an actice stand in favor of the imme-
diate construction of this great enter-
prise. The Baird Star contends that al-
though the pops carried Callahan
county they had to endorse indepen
dent democrats to do it and that they
the populists proper did not elect a
single one of their own nominees for a
county office. The same is true in re-
gard to Taylor county where the pops
through the same means aided be-
sides by republican votes elected the
treasurer and three of the county com.
missioners.
That "beastly" democratic majority
in Texas has disappeared. The
democratic ticket has not received a
majority over all as is customary.
Dublin Telephone.
Nor was the democratic majority in
Texas any more that "beastly" majority
as heretofore.' But it need not be in-
ferred (hat this greatly reduced demo-
cratic majority will be in any way de-
trimental to the development of Texas
resources or the material welfare of the
state On the con'rary it is generally
admitted that .in this regard it will have
just the opposite e fleet

The Baird Star comes back at the
exultant populists ot Callahan county
in good shape. It says: "Some
of the populists are greatly rejoiced be-
cause the Star man failed to carry his
own county. All right boys laugh
away but one thing the Star man
carried his own voting precinct the
largest in the county four to one a
great deal belter than Munroe did.
Even your candidate for governor and
state senator not only failed to carry
their counties but got snowed under
in their own precincts. If we are in
the soup in that respect Nugent and
Bryant are below us in the bowl.
The registration in Chicago prior to
the late election indicates in a marked
degree the political complication of the
female voters. In those wards which
usually go. solidly republican about
24000 registered; while in the. wards
always .considered democratic only
about 6.000 ladies registered. If this
ratio is maintained remarks an ex-
change whenever women have the
ballot it is not hard to tell in whose
interest such a law would be. And it
may be safejy asserted that in the
south even a less percentage of the
democratic women would avail them-
selves of the right of suffrage

It is confidently expected; says the

new bond issue that an amount will be
realized considerably in excess of that
of the February issue owing to the
fact that there are unusually large
amounts of money now idle and seek
ing investment in the money centers
of the country.

At the conference of railway official
and representative citizens of TcXas
which convened at St Louts Monday
to devise means calculated to induce
immigration to Texas the organiza-
tion ol an immigration association was
effected. Mayoir Paddock of Fort
Worth was elected chairman .of the
conference which was attended by
about thirty prominent citizens from
different parts of Texas and represen-
tatives of every railroad entering this;
state. We are pleased to notice from
the report (hat Abilene among other
leading Texas towns was represented
at the meeting.
The committee appointed by the
conference to formulate a plan or
agreement between the people of the.
principal cities of Texas and the Texas
railway and steamship lines met upon
the following day and decided upon a
scheme to be submitted to the rail-
roads for approval. This plan pro-
vides that $250000 shall be raised in
three years the railroads and citizens
each standing an tqual share. The
money thus raised will be expended in
booming the state and diverting emi-
gration to its confines.
This is decidedly the most tangible
step thathas ever been taken to in-
duce desirable new home-seekers from
the older states to come to Texas. It
is a strong and steady influx of ' thous-
ands of intelligent industrious practU
cal farmers from whatever section of the
older states to settle up our vast
areas of vacant farming lands that for
its development and prosperity Texas
wants more than anything else. The
Reporter sincerely hopes that such
will be the result of this Texas Immi
gration association so 'auspiciously
inaugurated at the St. Louis confer-
ence through which more than any
other agency the future progress of
the material prosperity and surpassing
greatnessof Texas will be assured.

Scarcely was the election over and
the result definitely known before Aus
tin correspondents of both the Fort
Worth Gazette and the Houston Post
reported in these papers alleged inter-
views with a certain party said to be
reliably informed on the subject as to
Governor Elect Culberson's manner in
which he will distribute the patronage
incident to. his inaugura.ion. The al-
leged interviews published in the above
papers respectively seem to have
been obtained on the "syndicate"
plan for they are verbatim et literatim
exactly the same in both papers How-
ever that may be as Mr. Culberson's
alleged declaration in the premises is
of interest to the general public; and
especially to those hkeiy to be affected
by this pending distribution of his offi-
cial patronage we herewith give the
said interviews in the Reporter:
Austin Tex Nov. 9 The elec-
tion being now over and the state
democratic ticket having been succes
ul to a man the next thing that wil
create speculation will be the manner
in which Governor Culberson will dis-
pense the patronage incident to his
inauguration
The Post correspondent has very
recently had a conversation with a gen-
tleman who is a warm personal friend
Ot Mr. Culberson and who was active-
ly connected with the campaign and
it was the impression of that gentle-
man that Governor Culberson will in-
voke the time honored usage of rota-
tion in office.
This will mean the removal of a
large number of officials who nave
held place under the present adminis-
tration. In justiee to those whd may be in
suspense Mr. Culberson ill probably
indicate very soon the changes he con-
templates making. This will be done
with all possible expedition in order
that those to retire may seclqother em-
ployment and lose no time 'after the
expiration of their terms of office.
In making changes of ccurie he
may re-appoint but this will 'be the
exception and not the rule. "
The Post correspondence has; also
learned from this same source that
Mr. Culberson has abour made up
his mind in most cases. He has been
able to do this satisfactorily to himself
from his long and extensive acquain-
tance over the state and his opportu
nitives relative to adaptability and fit
ness.
It is very sure he has made no
promises nor is he embarrassed by
pledges of any character whatsoever.
He would doubtless prefer to have
all portions of the state represented in
his administration but this he will ob-
serve only when the applicants are
fully qualified to render satisfactory
service to the state.
Mr. Culberson will be anxious to
serve his friends and every one who
knows him can vouch for his consis-
tent fidelity to his friend's but it must
also be born in mind that owing to
the hard ticses and the consequent
welling of V (in of applicants he
cannot avoid disappointing many.
