THE GALVESTON DAILY NEWS, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 13, 1892.
EXTRA SESSION MATTERS.
ADVIOE ON TEE SUBJECT FROM EEP-
BESEHTATTVE PAKMEK3.
Laws They Want Eepealod, Amended and
Left Alone—They Are Glad of the
Opportunity The News Offers.
Following are Borne of the replies received
to The Nhwb' request for the opinions of
farmers in regard to the proposed extra ses-
sion of the legislature:
Should Never Meet Again.
Eagle Cove, Tex.—To The News:
In my opinion the present legislature should
never meet again from the fact that it must
have exhausted its legislative skill at its last
term in behalf of the farmers. It forces us to
pay our dear American neighbor from 12 to 25
per cent interest for money in lieu of the
foreigner's 9 per cent.
It kills our jack rabbits and prairie dogs for
ub. It forces our neighbor to leave his fence
standing six months for our benefit when ho
wishes to move it to some other part or his
farm or pasture. And how many other laws
were passed especially beneficial to the farmer
I do not know, but enough to show him that
he is incapable of taking taking care of him-
self.
I am heartily tired of this paternal legisla-
tion and would be glad if the demagogue* who
are continually condoling with the miserable
farmer were kicked out of office. The farmer
needs no special legislation, but wants the
government run as economically as possible,
consistent with efficiency. Wo don't want the
demagogue, as he is now doing, to forever tax
us to death in the interest of plutocrats and
undeserving pensioners. T. W. Keblingeb.
Likes the News.
Chappell Hill, Tex.—To The News: lam
glad to see so many farmers accepting your
invitation to express their views on the duties
of the forthcoming legislature. This Is a de-
parture from the ordinary course of things. It
has goneraliy been thought that none but the
lawyer or the political domagogue could sug-
gest laws for the country; the farmer has been
ignored so often that even in the primary
meetings ho would take a back seat, and tho
political bummers would run tho machine m
their own way.
I have been a farmer and a close reader of
The GalveSton News for more than thirty
years, and I have always found it defending
the true principles of democracy in tho inter-
est of the farmer. I have been voting the
democratic ticket for forty years, but not
without scratching, and I think that in the fu
ture I will scratch still more unless things im-
prove.
I am in favor of the alien land law; as the
old veterans say at their reunions, "Texas for
Texans, and not for the foreign nabobs."
I am in favor of the railroad commission,
but it needs improving.
I voted for all the amendments to the con
stitution.
I am in favor of a better free school law. As
it now stands children do not got the full bene-
fit of tho money and it is used too much for
political influence.
I am in favor of a road law that will give
the farmer good roads. Each county should
have a road commissioner.
I am in favor of better pay to our repre-
sentatives. This would insure better talent
and consequently better laws that we would
not always be repealing or ignoring.
I am in favor of Culberson for the United
States senate.
I am in favor of the Farmers' alliance being
recognized, not as a political body, but as
representative of tho backbone of the coun-
try.
I am in favor of the hog law, and that an
owner should bo made to keep his hog up.
I think the separate coach law a good one.
I am not one to criticize Governor Hogg.
I believe he is the right man in the right
place and that he will correct his errors as fast
as he sees them.
And last but not least, I am in favor of The
Galveston News as long as it remains so good
a friend to the farmer and will not sell out to
the political demagogue. J. T. Spann.
The Railroad Commission a Failure.
Moscow, Tex.—To The News: I would say
to the governor, in calling a spocial session of
the legislature, to mention in tho call the alien
land law, tho railroad commission, the elec-
tion of United States senator, and the public
free schools.
Tho alien law, having been declared by the
supreme court unconstitutional, should be
wiped out, thereby establishing public confi-
dence in making investments in our state.
This demand comes from every quarter of our
state, and in such tones as can not be mis-
taken even by our officials. The same is said
of the commission bill; the people do not
want it'and never did. It has proven itsel f a
great big failure; particularly so as regards
local rates. There is no good in it for the
people, for it does not reduce rates, locally,
one particle. All fair minded men are willing
to allow competition to regulate freight rates,
and in order to bring this about we should en-
courage the building of more and better rail-
roads.
I trust that the governor will not leave out
the election of United States senator in his
call. This has been brought to his attention
too often to permit of any such omission. We
want a man In the United States senate from
the people, of the people, for the people, and
I believe that Roger Q. Mills is the man.
Alex. Johnson.
Chains for the Laboring Classes.
Shiloh, Tex.—To The News : I am in fa-
vor of the alien land law. The reason why is
because in 1776 the English bayonet could not
subjugate our forefathers, but English gold
has invaded this once free America and chains
are being forged with that gold. They will
eventually bind the laboring class to the plu-
tocratic class, which never did a day of honest
labor. I favor the alien land law because I
think that America should be for Americans,
and that no foreign syndicate should be al-
lowed to invade our homes and rob us by
usurious methods.
Where is the consistency in opposing the
subtreasury scheme? 4*Foroign money at 9
per cent is what we need to develop the state
of Texas," say the anti-alien land law men,
but when the bone and sinew—the honest
wage-earner and the farmer—ask that this
government (once the home of the free) issue
money direct to tho people without tho inter-
vention of the national banks or foreign land
sharks, the devil is to pay and no pitch hot.
The poor devil of an American who works
out his life in the mines, or wears out his life
in a factory, or ekes out a bare existence on
5 the farm, must be taxed for n lot of doves
\ called "capitalists." I favor the alien land
law because usury was cursed by the Creator,
condemned by Moses and the prophets and
kicked out of the temple by the master Jesus
Christ. Do not tell mo that money loaners
aro not usurers, for I know that this damnable
bond scheme was hatched in Lombard street,
London, and nursed in Wall street, in New
York city, and brought into existence by a
traitorous congress, which lias sold once free
America to Lombard htreet and Wall street.
Dare anyone say that these are not facts?
I am opposed to reconvening the legislature
under the present administration, because tho
only work done at the last session in tho in-
terest of tho peoplo was destroyed. Judges
were found who declared the alien land law to
be unconstitutional. That same legislature
gave us a railroad commission and robbed us
with that commission.
That school book law has been stolen. And.
as for anything else that the twenty-second
legislature did in the interest of justice and
equality to all, I have never heard of it.
Yes, I want a new legislature—one that will
knock the senatorial aspirations of It. Q. Milis
higher than Gilderoy's kite. J. I. Simmons.
A Useless Call.
To The News: You ask farmers for their
opinions as to what the governor shall advise
in his call for a meeting of tho legislature.
1. I advise that he issue a notice that he has
declined to make the call, for there is no ne-
cessity for the legislature to meet.
2. If he must call them together that he
recommend the cure of the defect the courts
have pretended to find in the alien land law.
I expect the governor has found the alliance
in favor of it, therefore he would like to slap
his own bantling in the face.
3. I would advise he recommend that the
railroad commission be made elective at the
next general election.
4. If he should include in his call the elec-
tion of a United States senator I take it upon
myself to strongly urge the legislature to elect
for this once an honest, sensible, intelligent
farmer of tho alliance persuasion; try a farm-
er one time. I know tho politicians think
there are no sensible, intelligent farmers, but
they are sometimes mistaken.
Allow me to recommend a littlo beyond tho
legislature to call the attention of Mills,
Chilton, Hogg and the politicians generally
to the speech of Ruagan, made at El Paso to
the white metal convention, and from it learn
avaluable lesson in the interest of the wealth
producers of this groat country. They seem
to have heretofore learned but very little that
is of any value to the farmer.
One more little, diminutive free wool 4 per
cent reduction Mills bill passed by congress
will be tho final disintegration of the demo-
cratic party and its everlasting overthrow.
The diminutiveness of tho Mills bill and its
discrimination for the manufacturer as against
the farmer is tho roason that Harrison was
elected president. Tho McKinloy bill followed
Harrison's election, increasing tho tariff near
10 per cent: the result is the election to con-
gress in 1890 of an overwhelming ma-
jority of democrats. Let that great
democratic majority fail to pass a bill
reducing that enormous GO por
cent worse than war times' tariff 25 or 30 per
cent, arid all Jefferson and Jackson democrats
will lose so much of their faith, hope and con-
fidence in the democracy that it will, in my
humble judgment, fall to peices of its own
rottenness. Let this democratic congress fail
to give the people a flexible currency equal to
the demands of trade and commerce and it will
havo failed to do that for which the people
elected them and tho next congress will bo re-
publican, will raise the tariff still higher, will
pass tho Lodge bill and by so doing control
all elections for the future; and then, yes, and
then such a rush from the democratic to the
republican party was never seen by the na-
tives. Away will go anti-free silver, protec-
tive tariff and national bank democrats. I
am a democrat, have voted for every demo-
cratic candidate for president since 1837 (ex-
cept during the war and while I was dis-
franchised by republicanism) and for Horace
Greely, too. I shall never go to the republi-
can party; shall stand by democracy until the
di
law is one of the best laws passed since the
homestead law was passed. The foreigner
comes here with his money to invest. He
loans his money to a farmer at heavy interest,
gets the interest annually for three or four
years, then he closes out the mortgage, and
away goes the monoy to Europe, never to re-
turn. I say, let Americans rule America.
So far as the railroad commission is con-
cerned, the quickor it is done away with the
better. 1 voted against it, and also against the
man who rode into office on it, and 1 have
voted tho democratic ticket all my life. Mr.
Finley can not boss me, nor my vote, either.
I do not know of any other law that would or
could be of much advantage to farmers at this
time: there is too much law now that is of no
advantage to farmers that I am able to see.
J. J. Alldbeoge.
Sees It Too Lata.
Benin a, San Augustine County, Tex.—To
The News: Our people (the farmers) aro the
kind of material that never see anything until
it is too late; then they howl about it. 1 can
speak for myself. There ia no need of a
called session of the legislature, from the fact
that tho alien land law is all right. If it had
been passed twenty years ago it would have
been better for the people of Texas, for the
land a poor man can't get unless he pays more
than ho is able to pay, and so he don't get a
home, and he has to work on shares and plant
more cotton than he ought to piant so that ho
can buy his provisions. Then he comes out in
debt, and stays on the same place if the land-
lord wants hirn to; if not, ho has to go to
some other lord, if he can get in. And so it
goes with the farming class. Well, who is the
farmer? It isn't tho hindowner, because there
isn't more than one out of ten who works on
the farm. If the people of Texas had havo
had a brainy body of legislators within the
last thirty years that would have stuck to the
true xjrinciple of the public land being kept
for actual settlers of this great state, there
would bo ten settlers where there is one now.
Now, as the school lands stand, the poor man
can't buy from the fact that tho price that is
put on them ho can never pay. All the state
gives is forty years to pay for the land in.
They can't pay more than the interest, and
then the land goes back to the state, and so
ends it. We farmers need a body of legisla-
tive members that will pass laws to stop the
land sharks from gobbling up all old land
last day in the evening.
Lem Jones.
No Mills in This.
Gonzales, Tex.—To The News : You ask
for the views of Texas farmers in regard to
the possible legislation of the probable called
session, and, on the supposition that you de-
sire a candid expression, permit me to say
that the present alien land law is the result of
the wisdom of a majority of men who were
elected by a majority of the people as nomi-
nees selected by a majority of delegates who
were instructed by majorities; and let me say,
beware of a repetition of 1860. No man
knows better than those of us who affiliated
and worked in conventions along in the fifties
that one of the prime factors in precipitating
the civil war was the clamor of respectable
minorities to be recognized, until it assumed
a spirit of rule or ruin. All admit now that it
would have been better to have quietly sub-
mitted to the majority in 1860.
A small minority of the people of Texas
want the Hon. R. Q. Mills for United States
senator. Now, it being a foregone oonclusion
that Mr. Cleveland will be retired from na-
tional politics, would not the grand state of
Texas be putting herself on better record to
permit Mr. Mills to share some of the bonelits
with Mr. Cleveland of their almost universally
acknowledged tariff humbug, and send a man
to the United States senate who will give his
attention to the interests of the man who pays
all the taxes (the producer) and who would be
found in his seat when his own pet tariff bill
was voted upon and not be monkeying around
up north trying to fasten upon this nation the
great curse of the age, the whisky traffic?
A buys from B say 100 acres of land and
I fives his note for $1000, takes a warranty deed
i or the land, and puts it on record. The as-
sessor comes along and assesses B for tho land
and A must pay on the note or perjure him-
solf. Is that law? If it is, and it must con-
tinue to prevail, let us havo an amendment
authorizing the assessor and collector to
pounce upon the notes taken by alien loan
associations, or, better still, perhaps, let's just
throw up our hats and declare once for all
that tho hackneyed political phrase "exclusive
privileges to none" ib a huge myth of the first
water under Texas laws. S. B. Biielsford.
The Alien Law a Good Thing.
Regency, Milis Co., Tex.—To The News :
You havo invited the farmers to write their
views concerning the called session of the leg-
islature on special points which the call is to
embrace. I am a farmer; have been for fifty
rears, but am not one of the chronic grumb-
lers. In the first place I think the alien land
Remodel tho jury law so that the same man
will not havo to servo every othor term of
court. I know one man in this county who
votes about 130 votes, and there are about five
men who act as grand jurors, part at one term
and part at the next term.
A. T. L. Babbitt.
The Farmers Troubled.
Austin, Tex.—To The News: Thanks
for your invitation to participate in the
discussion now going on in your columns5
tending to the welfare of our general country,
more ^specially our farming communities.
Would that my ideas were ripened enough, tho
expression of which would bo of any help
the matter of some of the momentous questions
before our law makers—questions, some of
which evidently need hasty action taken,
either for their furtherance or forbearance.
While some aro going wild after the alien
land law act, other measures, seemingly as im-
portant, pass unnoticed. The truth is, our
real, old, genuine farmers—the so-callod
"horny-handed" brethren—are at a loss to
know what to do for themselves, or what to
plant the coming season. Triod within late
years by a rarity of prices for their products,
and vexed beyond question at their futile ef-
forts to succeed at all of them, they seem to be
waiting for something beyond their ken to ap-
pear to deliver them out of their land of bond-
age.
The wolf-scalp law can hardly be com-
plained of, as it is dropping many a dollar in
tho districts herotoforo of absolute poverty.
At the samo time—from the complaints of our
western county treasurers—the wolves must be
fast undergoing extermination.
Our so-much-talked-about road law should
be worked on at once, as it is sadly deficient,
inasmuch as it creates invalids and cripples to
an a'arming extent all along our great high-
ways, small and badly managed road gangs,
suits in tho county courts, and begets no good
roads in the ond.
And tho old question of the school problem I
When will it ever near solution? With our
little tired-looking school houses dotted horo
and there through our country districts, with
young lady teachers who aro illy capacitated
to rule our modern overgrown rural urchin
there during four montlis' school in a region
where ten mouths would not be too many,
surely the school question is our greatest, and
demands all tho attention from our law-
makers in their power to give.
W. W. Dunham.
Wants Belter Ronds.
Center, Falls County, Tex.—To The News:
Please accept my commendation for your
patriotism, generosity and kindness in gratui-
tously lending your aid to a class of peoplo
that has heretofore been much neglected in
legislation, and, in response to your invita-
tion, I beg leave to make the following sug-
gestions for consideration by the next legisla-
ture:
I am opposed to supporting superfluous of-
ficers, henco I advocate the abolition of the
office of tax assessor, because in this county
our property is first assessed by the assessor
and again by the commissioners' court, both
having to be paid for their very valuable
time.
Again, if the taxpayer swears falsely to the
amount or value of his property he should be
prosecuted for false swearing, and the county
attorney should be prosecuted for each failure
to prosecute persons who are shown to have
made false statements in rendering property.
The awful oondition of our public roads
compels me to think that any system of work-
ing roads would be better than the present,
and I believe that taxation is the remedy. I
hold that every landowner should bo com-
pelled to keep in repair, at his own expense,
all public roads that touch his land, and, in
tho event that he failed to do so, the road
superintendent should have it done and tax
the oxpense to the land, which should be col-
lected when the general tax is collected.
I furthor think that the commissioners'
court should be compelled to work the county
convicts on public roads as the law at present
contemplates.
Tho prevalence of a disease resembling
glanders in this county prompts me to suggest
an amendment to articles 692 and 693 of the
penal code, so as to include "all infectious or
contagious" diseases of the horse, because,
owing to the difficulty of identifying it as
glanders, it is impossible for us to properly
confine it and prevent its eproad.

COMMANDER EVANS STONED.
Authorities Assure Him Protection—Situa-
tion Discussed in tho Cabinet.
New York, Jan. 12.—[Special.]—The Her-
ald's Valparaiso correspondent cables thus:
I am informed that tho Chilean minister at
Washington, Pedro Montt, sent a dispatch to
his government to the effect that while fully
aware the United States eould not demand
safo conduct for the refugees at the American
legation at Santiago, still ho advised that they
be allowed to loave tho country as a conces-
sion to the United States.
Tho British warship Warsprito has arrived
here.
The Central and South American telegraph
company, having acquired tho Trans-Andine
telegraph company, the only telegraph lino
between Chile ami Argentine, has to-day sur-
prised tho public by reducing its rato via
Galveston 15 por cent. This policy will re-
sult advantageously to the public and the
company. If these reduced rates result in an
increaso of traffic further reductions will
surely follow.
Commander Kvaii9 Stoned.
Washington, Jan. 12.—The following cable
message from Commander Evans, command-
ing the gunboat Yorktown, tho only United
States vessol in Chilean waters, was made
public this afternoon:
Valparaiso, Jan. 9.—Secretary of tho Navy:
Yesterday afternoon my gig, lying off the
landing place, waiting, was stoued by threo
men in a crowd of bad characters. No one
injured. I visited immediately tho senior
naval officer of the Chile navy and requested
him to notify tho police authorities that I de-
manded efficient protection, and if the offense
was repeated I would take tho matter in my
own hands and protect my men with arms.
Mucli regret was expressed by the Chilean
senior navai officer, who went at once to the
police. To-day I havo the assurance that the
parties will be punished and protection given.
Evans.
Political Prisoners to ISu Liborntori.
London, .Jan. 12.—A dispatch to the Times
from Santiago de Chile says ail political pris-
oners will be liberated within a week; also
tho four refugees who still remain in the
American legation. Egan, the United States
minister, ho adds, has sent four of his proteges
aboard the Yorktown.
Senor Concha, who formerly occupied a
ministerial position and who was reported to
have been killed, is alive and has been in-
dicted for high treason.
To Bo Submitted to Congress.
Washington, Jan. 12.—The trouble with
Chile was tho prevailing topic of discussion at
a meeting of the cabinet to-day, with a view
to tho transfer of a further consideration of
the subject to congress. It is understood the
entire correspondence will bo submitted to
congress next week. All the members wero
present except Foster, who is at Fortress
Monroe.
Premature Explosion.
Ottawa, Ont., Jan. 11.—Owing to the

Rapidly.
Dr. Price's Delicious Flavor-
ing Extracts, Vanilla, Lemon,
Orange, Nectarine, etc., have
grown rapidly in popular
favor, as it is known that
they are produced by extrac-
tion from the fruit, not made
up with chemical poisons.
They are natural flavors,
obtained by a new process,
which gives the most deli-
cate and grateful taste. Dr.
Price's Flavorings can be
conscientiously commended
