The wheat crop of Texas has
already been estimated at 25,000.
000 bushels and perhaps more.
This estimate was made by G. J.
Gibbs, president of the Texas
Grain D ealers’ association. Texas
passed through a severe test dur-
ing the past winter. As crops of
all kinds were very short, farmers
and stockmen were compelled to
use northern grown products of
all kinds, and the banks and mer-
chants have been called upon to
carry these two great producing-
olasses—the greatest of all the
varied resources for bringing
money into the State. This being
the. case, a shortage of money has

Your Kidneys.
Unhealthy Kidneys Make Impure Blood.
All the blood in your body passes through
your kidneys once every three minutes.
The kidneys are your
blood purifiers, they fil-
ter out the waste or
impurities in the blood.
If they are sick or out
of order, they fail to do
their work.
Pairs, aches and rheu-
matism come from ex-
cess of uric acid in the
blood, due to neglected
kidney trouble.
Kidney trouble causes quick or unsteady
heart beats, and makes one feel as though
they had heart trouble, because the heart is
over-working in pumping thick, kidney-
poisoned blood through veins and arteries.
It used to be considered that only urinary
troubles were to be traced to the kidneys,
but now modern science proves that nearly
all constitutional diseases have their begin-
ning in kidney trouble.
If you are sick you can make no mistake
by first doctoring your kidneys. The mild
and the extraordinary effect of Dr. Kilmer’s
Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedy is
soon realized. It stands the highest for its
wonderful cures of the most distressing cases

Honston Post: It is deplorable
that any member of the Texas
senate should fall to see the duty
and the glory, of fittingly preserv-
ing the battlefield of San Jacinto.
It is to be explained only npon
the ground of false ideas of econ-
omy, npon a lack of appreciation

to lift the load, and the additional
force to be pat forth on this ac-
count is very nearly equal to the
load drawn divided by the rate
f gradient. Thus on a gradient
of 1 in 30 the force spent in lifting
is one-thirtieth of the load, and in
ascending a horse has to exert
twice the force required to draw
the load on a level. In descend-
ing, on the other hand, on snch a
gradient, the vehicle, when once
started, would just move of itse'f
without pressing on the horse. A
horse can withont difficulty exert
twice bis usual force for a time,
and can therefore ascend gra-
dients of 1 in 30 on a macadamized
surface withont sensible diminu-
tion of speed, and can trot freely
down them. These considera-
tions have led to 1 in 30 being
generally considered as the ruling
gradient to be aimed at on first-
class roads, though 1 in 40 has
been advocated. Telford adopt-
ed 1 in 30 as the raling gradient
on the Holyhead road through
North Wales, and there are only
two gradients steeper, in places
where they were unavoidable. All

Bat it is incomprehensible how
a member oan sincerely make the
statement attributed to Senator
Henderson that the battle of San
Jacinto, while important as to re-
sults “comparatively insignificant
as a battle.” It can not be excus-
ed, for ignorance of history is ex-
cuse for error of historical criti-
cism.
By what does the senator judge
a battle if not by results ? Lexing
ton, as a battle, was an insignifi-
cant Bkirmisb, yet it is marked by
a towering monument and written
down in history and in the vener
ation of the people as the begin-
ning of the greatest nation of the
earth.
Besides, as a military achieve-
ment, as the culmination of a
piece of strategy beginning with
the retreat from Gonzales, San
Jacinto waa-nq£xcelled in the an-
nals of war. Houston started
with an unorganized, undrilled
and unequipped band of little
more than 300 recruited on the
march to 743. Santa Anna was in
pursuit with 5000 of his best train-
ed troops. Houston eluded the
invader nntil the 5000 were divid-
ed and the main army under Santa
Anna numbered two to one. But
he had drilled and disciplined his
meD, had whetted their appetite
for vengeance and at the oppor-
tune moment, with the enemy cut
off from retreat, he wisely dispos
ed his men and in one swift and
terrible charge, lasting altogether
not more than thirty minutes, with
the loss of six killed and twenty-
five wounded, he slaughtered and
dissipated the Mexican*, killing
630, captaring 730 prisoners, and
dictated the terms of peace which
made Texas independent.
Was not this a battle worth a
monument! Was not this military

est?

STATE TREASURY HOLDS
FOUR HUNDRED AND
SEVENTY FIVE
THOUSAND DOL-
LARS GASH.
Austin, Tex., April 4.—There is
at present deposited in the state
treasury to the credit of the per-
manent school fund nearly $475,-
000, which awaits investment.
This acconnt has been steadily
growing larger for the past three
months, only about $25,000 haviDg
been invested since the present
administration came in. It is new
in excess of any balance to the
fnnd for a long time.
This money invested in 3 per
cent bonds wonld add nearly
$1,500 per month to the available
school fund. There is no lack of
opportunity to invest it, for appli-
cations to sell the State bonds of
the counties and independent
school district to the amount of
over $100,000 have been tamed
down since the first of the year.
The policy of the State School
Board, which purchases the bonds,
whether 3 or 4 per cent at par,
whereas the former School Board,
when purchasing 4 per cent bonds
often paid a premium for them so
that the net return to the State
would be just 3 per cent.
It iB reported that the money
is being held in treasury for
the purpose of purchasing the
whole of several large issues of
bonds which are expected to be
pat upon the market within the
next few months. Among these
is an issne of $500,000 bonds of
Dallas county. These bonds, it is
understood, will pay 3 per cent.
The State bonds, which will prob-
ably be refanded next January at
4 per cent, will also be purchased,
if possible, for the school fund.
This issne will amount to about
$240,600.
However, if the income of the
permanent school fond is as great
daring this year as it was in 1893,
the balance in the treasury, if
none of it is invested, will exceed
$2,000,000, so there will be ample
to purchase the bonds mentioned
above and many others. The
School Board may have some other
purpose in keeping the money in
the treasury and allowing it to ac-
cumulate, but the pnrpose is not
known.

PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT
SUGGESTS THE INDIANA
MAN AS A RUNNING
MATE IN 1904.
Washington, April 2__During
a recent conference with a nation-
al Republican committeeman from
a Western State the suggestion
was made by President Roosevelt
that it might not be amiss to give
consideration to Senator Bever-
idge of Indiana as a candidate for
the vice presidency next year. The
consideration of candidates for the
vice presidency is to figure as not
the least important among the
topics which will be considered
by the president with the political
leaders of his party whom he
meets npon his present trip. It is
certain that they will be sounded
as this Western national commit-
teeman was, on their views of
Albert Jeremiah Beveridge as a
likely candidate. At the confer
ence at the White House above
referred to the Beveridge sugges-
tion came from the President after
the national committeeman had
gone over the list of men who
have been mentioned as good vice
presidential timber.
As man after man was suggest-
ed by the politician with com-
ments about his fitness and run-
ning ability the President not only
failed to display enthasiasm, bat
even developed impatience. It
was time for the interview to end
when he rather sharply reminded
his caller of Senator Beveridge.
He suggested that the Indiana
man was placed right from a geo-
graphical standpoint and that he
was in entire sympathy and har-
mony with the President political-
ly. As his visitor aros9 to go the
President suggested that it might
be well to discuss the matter with
Western leaders of the party, al-
though he made no suggestion
that any steps be taken to develop
a boom for Mr. Beveridge.
The national committeeman who
figure^ in this interview was too
dazed by its outcome to go into
the question raised with the Pres-
ident, and he had hardly recover-
ed when he left the city. The
Beveridge suggestion will come
as a distinct and somewhat painful
shock to the leaders of the Re-
publican party. It has been re
garded as almost settled that some
safe, conservative maD, very satis-
factory to the Eastern business in-
terests, should be picked as the
running mate for the more strenu-
ous leading candidate in 1904.
The idea discussed has been the
sort of candidate who would gen-
erally be regarded as a possible
balance wheel against the impetu-
osity and tendency toward radical
action in regard to trusts and oth-
er institutions, the tariff and other
sacred things with which Presi-
dent Roosevelt is credited in Wall
street. The plan has been to
name a man satisfactory to the
coterie of Republican leaders who
have shown some impatience with
the idea that they are in duty
bound to nominate the president
iu 1904.
But to Aldrich, Piatt, Hale,
Spooner, Hanna, Quay and others
of the old guard, Beveridge will
be as disagreeable a dose to swal
low as to Wall street and the
great industrials. Beveridge is as
strenuous as the President, al-
though less so in the physical di-
rection. They have been trying
vainly for six years to suppress
him in the Senate. The thought
of Beveridge in the White House
wonld induce heart failure in any
of the quarters where the idea of
election of Roosevelt is still con-
sidered unpleasant. The thought
back of the President’s sugges-
tion seems to have been that Bev-
eridge as his rnnning mate could
be depended npon to make the
whirlwind touring campaign which
he himself made when President
McKinley was elected the second
time. It is no longer considered
quite good form for a president
to tonr the country in his own be-
half daring the campaign. He
must receive the voters in a digni-
fied manner at home. Thns tied
up, President Roosevelt seems to
feel that he would wish as hie
representative to go about the
country a man after his own heart
who would correctly interpret hie
attitude.
While the politicians are still
thoughtfully considering, or pre-
tending to, the advisability of even
nominating President Roosevelt
at all in 1904, it will come as a
distinct and unpleasant shock to
them that he not only expects to
get the nomination, bat also to
have a hand in the selection of his
companion on the ticket.

INVESTIGATIONS GOING
ON IN VARIOUS DE-
PARTMENTS OF THE
GOVERNMENT.
Washington, April 4.—With a
gigantic secret investigation in
progress at the postoffice depart
ment, dissatisfaction in the pen-
sion bnrean against Pension Oom
missioner Ware, and well authen-
ticated rumors of differences be-
tween the president and Secreta
ry of the Treasury Shaw that may
result in an open breach, official
circles are looking for a summer
istration.
The return of Postmaster-Gen-
eral Payne from his outing is
awaited with deep interest by
those who have been attempting
to follow the line of the investi-
gation ordered by the President
before he left on his Western trip.
There has been talk that Mr.
Payne, before his departure, did
not fully sympathize with First
Assistant Postmaster-General
Wynne in hisposition that certain
abases in the department were a
stench in the nostrils of honest
government. They believe that
Mr. Wynne with his newspaper
charged that they have bnilt up a
machine, the power of which is
superior to that of the pc
general. It is delcared
ly every postoffice in the conatry
has to a greater or lesser extent
felt this infiaence, and has had
forced upon it supplies of a char-
acter as costly as they were un-
necessary. When Postmaster-
General Payne left on his vaca-
tion the scandal was snonlderiog.
When he returns he will find

ed upon the vouchers in the d<

This year the chief executive has
been seriously disturbed over the
apparent demoralization in the
treasury department, dne to the
expressed wish of the secretary
to have an overhauling.
Jnst how far the conferences
between the president and Secre-
tary Shaw have gone, no one out-
side knows, but it has been gos
siped about by those high in offi-
cial circles that the president
spoke so bluntly and sharply on
one occasion recently that the an-
nouncement of Secretary Shaw’s
retirement would be no surprise
to them Secretary Shaw’s ambi
tion has for some time been
subject of general comment. His
friends have not denied that he
would add strength to the nation-
al ticket in 1904. There are oth-
ers who are intimating that he has
his eyes open for greater things
if circumstances so permitted, an 1
that his proposed re-organization
of the treasury department is dne
to a desire to build up a Shaw
machine.
It is known that tne president
has on several occasions seen fi
personally to interfere with cer-
tain re-organization plans, admit

of the importance charged, they

says he cannot be diverted from
