SECURING HARMOSY.
A lot of Dallas gentlemen who
are very anxious for harmony
have asked Governor Hogg to
come over and help secure it.
To l>e consistent they ought to
have asked Judge Clark to come,
too. Rut the governor can no
donbt fell nil about s^ennng har-
mony.
We once heard Henry Ward
Beecher tell how to unite all the
churches. He said it would l>e the
easiest thing in the world. "Let
everybody come up and be Con
gregationalists and we will l>e
united."
We have had a great deal of
harmony talk, but most of it
amounts to nothing. ''Come hack,
erring brethren, and we will for-
give you. We will permit you to
vote for Hogg men and will even
let you sit in the primaries, etc.
Endorse President Cleveland, sin-
gle gold standard, Queen Lil, mug-
wumps and all and we can live at
peace."
Snch harmony talk as this will
never do. If the same issues are
up again there must l>e a mutual
concession or the two wings can
not get together. If we can get
new issues, then the only safe plan
is to also get new men. We must
not stand too much on political
etiquette, and we will not if we are
actuated by the proper spirit.
The vanquished Turner Hall de-
mocracy is strong in numbers and
has many of the wisest, truest and
bravest democrats in the state in
its ranks. It can not In1 lightly
tr >ated and it can not l>e whipped
into the ranks of the victorious
faction.
HOW TO A VERT DEFEA T.
Now that the president has snub-
bed about all the senators who
voted against the unconditional
repeal of the Sherman act, and
now that the senators have gotten
even with him by rejecting some
of his mugwump appointments,
would it not be a good idea for
both parties to drop the quarrel!
The party is in danger of defeat
this fall, and it will take the united
work of the president and the
democratic senators and represen-
tatives from now on to prevent it.
Concessions must always l>e made
before a difference can l>e healed.
So far the president has made
none. He should set the example
and then if the others do not meet
him it will not l>e his fault.
The congressmen who do not
approve his policy have l>een
beaten, and it is not their place to
offer the olive branch.
Hut a stronger reason why the
president should concede some-
thing is that the masses of the
party do not agree with him and
his policy has not l»een in accord
with the platform on all points.
The democrats at Washington
can prevent a republican congress
from being elected in November
only by acting promptly and in
harmony with the platform.
SELLING BONDS.
Mr. Carlisle will have no trou-
ble to dispose of the l>onds lie of-
fers for sale. One New Yorker
has come up and offered to take
the whole $50,000,000. The offer
was made to sell a 5 per cent ln>nd
at 17 cents above par and at least
#200,000,000 of gold has already
been offered at that rate. This
shows that there is no necessity
for keeping gold on hand to re-
deem the treasury notes. The
government can get it as fast as
needed. It can issue $100,000,000
more greenbacks without increas-
ingthegold reserve.
It would seem that this would
l>e the letter way. The green-
tracks would l>e a debt, it is true,
like bonds, but a debt that does
not draw interest.
It looks very much like this
lh>nd sale was a scheme to head off
the coinage of the surplus silver.

ocratic contestant in the contested
election case of O'Neill vs. Joy
was presented and ordeied printed,
Consideration of the tariff bill

amendment being that of Johnson,
democrat of Ohio, to place steel

ment was lost by a vote of 79 to
100.
Mr. Wilson asked unanimous
consent that three hours l>e set
aside next Monday for the con
eration of the amendments to the
sugar schedule. This was agreed to.

Washington, Jan. 19. — Con
gressman Hornando L)e Soto Mone
will probably be chosen to succeed
Senator Walthall. Mone had
charge of the lobby for the $2,500,
000 appropriation for the world's
fair. He was subsequently elected
to congress, and is in a fair way

Yon Welder of Lubeck. Schwabe
was bookkeeper for a local whole

Washington, Jan. 19.—The state-

If the president should conclude

could not do a l>etter thing thau to

Chauncey I)epew intimates that
the republican party will make

El Paso, Tex., Jan. 19.—A dis

The first attack was made by
detachment of revolutionist# on
the west side of the town, which
called the federal garrison to that
point. Immediately the insurgents

Washington, Jan. 19. — The
Mexican minister denies that Chi
huahua was captured late this
afternoon.
China's Silver Crisis.
London, Jan. 19.—A dispatch
from Hong Kong says the silver
crisis is increasing in acuteness in
the east and the situation is fur-
ther complicated by the scarcity of
currency at Shanghai, Hong Kong
and Singapore owing to decreasing
supplies of Mexicans dollars,
Mexican exchange not having
adapted itself to the heavy fall in
silver. The present position of
affairs may easily become danger-
ous.
Child's Condition.
Philadelphia, Jan. 19.—The con-
dition of George W. Childs, who
was seized with an alarming at-
tack of vertigo yesterday after-
noon, is reported as favorable this
morning. His physicians say he
passed a peaceful night and is now
resting comfortably, but his condi-
tion is serious.

Rhett Green will die. Both were
prominent white men. It grew
out of an attempt by constables
and posses to arrest a negro des-
perado named Jude. The negro
had an intimation of the com-
ing of the officers and had
about forty of his friends
in ambush about the house. Eight
or ten whites are dangerously
wounded and several negroes were
sbr in the pitched battle which
occurred, but none were killed.
The officers were betrayed by a
white man whom they claim they
know, and there are strong sus-
picions that there will be a lynch-
ing in that vicinity. The battle
l>etween the whites and negroes
lasted some time and the wonder
is that more were not killed.

her people.
Texas is a cosmopolitan stuto.
but native Americans predomin-
ate. The negro population of tin
state is small compared to othei
southern states and the "race
problem'' cuts no figure here. The
state is settled largely with immi-
grants from different parts of the
Union, those from the southern
and western states predominatinc.
LAWS.
The laws of Texas are made for
her own people and are the most
liberal, equitable and just any-
where.
HOMESTEAD LAWS
Are the most liberal, and her col-
lection laws the most lenient to be
found in any state in the Union.
These laws not only provide
against misfortune, but give the
family a guarantee against waste-
ful extravagance and bad manage-
ment on the part of the husband.
The following extracts from the
state constitution will give an idea
of the protection which the state
throws around a family:
"Art. 17, Sec. 49. The legisla-
ture shall have power, and it shall
be its duty, to protect by law from
forced sale a certain portion of the
personal property of all heads of
families, and also of unmarried
adults, male and female.
"Sec. 50.—The homestead* of a
family shall be and is hereby pro-
tected from forced sale for pay-
ment of all debts except for the
ever be subject to garnishment.'
The statutes exempt the follow
ing personal property from forced
sale:
"All household and kitchen fur-
niture. All implements of hus-
bandry. All tools, apparatus and
books belonging to any trade or
profession. The family library
and all family portraits and pic-
tures. Five milk cows and their
calves. Two yoke of work oxen,
with necessary yokes and chains.
Two horses and one wagon. One
carriage or buggy. One gun.
Twenty head of sheep. All sad-
dles, bridles and harness necessary
for use of the family. All pro-
visions and forage on hand for
home consumption, and all current
wages for personal services.
To all single persons are re-
served: "All wearing appaiel, all
tools, apparatus and books be-
longing to any trade or profession.
One horse, saddle and bridle. All
current wages for personal ser-
vices."
Wherever the people's homes
are safe there will patriots be
found. Hence tramps and beggars
are not so common among us as in
other countries.
TAXATION
18 light, our state ad valorum tax
is now 15 cents on the $100, and
our state school tax is 12 >4 cents
on the $100. County taxes do not
often reach 50 cents on the $100.
COOKE COUNTY.
Cooke is one of the northern tier
of counties and is separated from
the beautiful Indian Territory on
the north by Bed river.
It is a splendid farming section
and is also well adapted to stock-
raising.
The soil of the county is about
equally divided black waxey, san-
dy and red sandy. About one-
half the county is timber and the
balance prairie with streams run-
ning through it, on which can be
found excellent timber and water.
Ked river borders the county on
the north for sixty miles.
Elm fork of the Trinity, Clear
creek and other streams, flow
through it.
The county has an area of 933
square miles, equal to 597,120
acres.
It had in 1890 a population of
24,G02.
It now has a population of per-
haps 30,000.
The assessed value of property
in 1893 was $7,909,050.
LAND.
Improved lands are worth from
$10 to $50 per acre.
Our lands produce a greater va-
riety of crops than can be found in
almost any other county. They
have the rare advantage of bring-
ing both wheat and cotton crops—
