When Thk Gazette raised the cry of
save your own bacon it had little
hope that the response in Texas would be
more energetic than similar appeals from
newspapers in the past had met But
times change aiul men change with them
and now the northern and Western sec-
tions of the state at least are interest-
ing themselves in the hog question
A rfiixTUCKY father has just succeeded
in having a liveyearssentence passed

perjury and stopping the marriage of

A gentleman who has a fine oppor-
tunity to learn the condition of the cot-
ton crop and who is probably as well
posted about it as any man in the state
said to The Gazette yesterday that
Texas would pick this year 1800OOC
balbs That means counting seed and
all about ninety million dollars to be put
In circulation in the state by that one
crop
Law may prove too weak to stop duel-
ing but there is an agency at work that
will kill the custom It is public ridi-
cule No more ridiculous incident has
occurred than the recent Georgia fiasco
in which two members of the legislature
tramped down the grass in two states
looking for each other and dodging the
officers And then to return without
fighting What a farce
The Big Four seem to have a portion
of the Chicago press at least by the col-
lar Instead of encouraging the sen-
atorial committee to go to the bottom of

gard to the beef combine those journals
took to abusing Senator Vest When
monopolys representatives resort to vil
liileation aud abuse you may be sure
that somebody has told or is about to tell
the truth
Tiiehe are nearly eight million col-
ored people in the Democratic Southern
country and they have but one member
of congress to represent them says
the Cincinnati Commercial Gazette Re-
publican To which the New York
Evening Post pointedly replies There
are nearly eighty thousand colored peo-
ple in the state of Ohio and they have
not so much as ont postmaster to repre-
sent them
Fort Worth is building Com-
pleted within the last thirty days and
in course of erection are stone and
brick buildings covering over eight hun-
dred feet of ground And now con-
tracts and plans are being prepared for
buildings to cover 400 feet more The
buildings include three four live and
eightstory structures The men who
gave Fort Worth railroad facilities
builded wisely
The time will soon bo here for the
sowing ot next years wheat crop The
splendid yields of the last two or three
years have demonstrated the fact that
portions of Texas are unexcelled for
wheat growing nnd should encourage
the farmers to sow larcer crops this fall
than ever before Each year Texas has
sent many thousands of dollars to other
states for wheat aud flour and the
farmers of the state should see toit that
this bad economy in no longer necessary
We are going to be able to buy much
more cotton seed this year than usualj
said a gentleman engaged in the busi-
ness to a Gazette scribe aud not so
much on account of the increased pro-
duction of cotton as because of the in-
creased production of grajn You see-
the stockmen have heretofore fed a great
deal of cotton sce1 but so much mpro
grain and fodder was raised this year
than usual that the cottou seed is left for
tiio oil mills This is a good sign Texas
is destined to become a great grain grow-
ing country aud The Gazette hopes soon
to see plenty of grain and fodder pro-
duced to feed every hoof in the state It
is always dangerous to hazard the pros-
perity of a whole section upou a siugle
product and the sooner the peopleof this
state stop it thejbetter In diversity
there is wealth for Texas
THEBE ABE STRUGGLES AND

1 SAVE TOUJi BACON
The Fort Worth Gazette has hewed out the
cornerstone of prosperity for the farmers of
Texas in the sentence Save your own
bacon We are taxed by the tarifff by the
state by the county by our vices by our lazi-
ness but the sum total of all these multiplied
by the doubledistilled essence of the internal
Tevenue system does not equal the tax imposed
by the smokehouses of
posed on our people
Kansas and slaughter houses of Chicago Save
your own bacon Waco Day
Hogs are worth more inToxas than
cattle but there are no hogs Farmers
work twelve months in the year to get
money to buy meat made in other states
when Texas is the home of meatproduc
ing animals Fort Worth buys and dis-
tributes nearly 1000000 worth of hog
meat annually According to the Paris
Dailo News the farmers of Lamar county
spent last year for bacon lard molasses
aud corn over 80000 requiring more
than two thousand bales of cotton to pay
for same representing a years hard
work on1000 acres of land Could the
total amount of money annually expended
for hog meat by Texas be ascertained
it would startle even our own people
Texans who raise cotton and buy bacon
are slavesand neither true independence
nor prosperitv can come to any farm the
meathouse of which is m the grocery
stores of the towns Texas has need to
be aroused to the profit of saying its own
bacon
IS THEBE TO BE A SUGAB WAB
If Claus Spreckels tho great sugar
manufacturer is sincere in his expressed
determination to fight the sugar trust
he will earn the gratitude of hundreds of
thousands of families who are now at the
mercy of as graspinc a monopoly as ever
existed in this country In an interview
with a New York Press reporter he is
credited with saying 1 am today as
strongly opposed to the sugar trust as
any man can possibly bo and that oppo-
sition I will carry out to the bitter end
and as a means thereto my new refinery
down atThe Neck will I confidently
expect be in operation in the latter part
of October Further than that I have
here the plans which I have approved
for a new one to be built on the property
adjoining where the one now nearing
completion stands I am training my
two sons in tho business but only after
having first obtained from them their
absolute indorsement of my plans and
their promise that to the end they will
carry out my original intentions It is
absolutely untrue that I have either
weakened or sold out to the trust
The California refiners declaration has
the true ring He should be encouraged
by the refusal of every head of a family
to purchase trust sugar wherever the pro-
duct of his refineries is obtainable The
time has arrived when the men who
needlessly corner and raise the prices of
the necessaries of life should be sum-
marily dealt with It is greatly to bo
deplored that the law is not powerful
enough to reach and imprison tho pro-
jectors of the combination referred to
They are cancers on the body politic ana
ought to be cut away In order to follow
their hand it would now be in order to
form a cradlecoffin and graveyard trust
to the end that their prey the great
mass of the people may be followed
from the cradle to tho grave
A WHITE JIANS GOVEBNMENT
The Gazette is not alone in the asser-
tion of a fact which all white men real-
ize but which many are deterred from
declaring by reasons satisfactory to
themselves Something of the confusion
apparent in the discussion of this negro
question arises from tho absence of
general and positive assertion of the fact
that this is essentially a white mans
government now as it always has been
now as it always will be The
sooner this fact is asserted by
all white men and the sooner
all men of all other colors realize and
admit it the sooner the negro ques-
tion will be discussed and solved
permanently and as it must be sooner or
later J ust as this is an American govern-
ment so it is a white mans govern-
ment To foreigners are accorded suf-
frage and equal civil rights but the
governing force is and always will be
essentially American the government of
states and nation is administered by
Americans for Americans according to
American ideas and so will they be ad-
ministered by white men for white
men according to tfteideasof white men-
The negro is no more fit to govern South-
ern states than he is to govern Northern
states than the Chinaman is to govern
California or the Indian to govern Colo-
rado or theHungarian to govern Penn-
sylvania and Massachusetts has as much
interest in maintaining this position
as South Carolina has A discussion
of the negro question upon any other
basis will be weak irresolute and un-
profitable If laws enacted in the flush
of sectional triumph and partisan blind-
ness stand in the way of white suprem-
acy white votes will annul the im-
potent statutes and the white man
from Ohio will join bands with
the white man from Mississippi
whenever radicalism shall succeed
by agitation in reducing this negro ques
tion to its simplest form The man who
dreams of a Hayti in any portion of the
Union is blind to the history of the world
to the cruel hopelessness of looking to a
Democratic inferiority and to the sig-
nificant warning of white cohesion in the
refusal of the white man to admit to citi-
zenship any other colored man than the
negro and him only under the
whip and spur of partisan tri-
umph partisan necessities and partisan
malevolence A Northern paper takes
the same view of the question as that on
several occasions expressed by The Ga-
zette and in its discussion the Chicago
Herald says
The negro question reduced to its last terms
is this Shall the white man or the black man
rule Law or no law section or no section
demagogue politics or no
demagogue or no
politics will a township county or state of
America ever in any likelihood be perma-
nently controlled by a body of black men no
matter how numerous the blacks or how sparse
the white population If white men remain on
the soil will they dominate that soil
This question of race rising above law ethics
and reason if need be now pushes upon the
Southern people The laws of reconstruction
putatively backed by the power of the United
States declare that the state of Louisiana pos-
sessed as it is by a majority of colored inhabit-
ants shall be ruled by the majority The state
of Georgia similarly embarrassed shall be sim-
ilarly managed Agitators in the North whose
personal conspicuity has arisen from the woes of
their country look to those woes for a contin-
uance of place profit and favor It istherefore
an effort of selfpreservation in these agitators
early to pit the tide of natural events against the
hastily conceived statutes of tho nation The
negro has the stautory right to rule in Louisiana
and Georgia now let him rule This is the im
potentedict of Chandler Blairand other North-
ern legislators whose racial abhorrence of the
negro far exceeds the repulsion felt in the breast
of any true Southerner
There is no arrogance so great as the arrogance
of the popular exslave He not only con-
ceives himself to be the equal of his former mas-
ter but publishes a sense of superiority Urged
to extremes by firebrand statesmen of the North
the black spokesmen of the South have lately
sounded the trump of race war The black man
has been invoked to rise and establish his statu-
tory rights Given the sympathy of the North
the negro editors believe the war would not go
against the blacks
Judging carefully and resurveying a situation
of which sensible people have but one view the
Herald is free to state a belief that the laws of
the United States will change before human na-
ture will change If the black and the white can
notlive together in the South as the white is will-
ing to arrange then contemporary residence
therein for both races is entirely impossible
The North in a proxysm of sectional brutality
might reinaugurate negro rule and might tem-
porarily again support it at the point of the bay-
onet and for the edification of another genera-
tion of Pinchbacks Kelloggs Warmoths Cham-
berlains Bullocks but time would again de
velop a brood of whites before whom the igno
rant field hand the vicious hybrid and the white
carpet bagger would either vanish or surrender
This is the negro question The South is in
alarm It fought well against white conauerors
Does the North believe the South will defend it-
self less bravely against Ethiopian thraldom

BaylessW Hanna late minister to

of Mrs nanua who was not
present and asked how many child-
ren they had Bayless not un-

throw up her hands and exclaimed

is Thank God I have not an Ameri-

banker called on Mr Hanna and said
You astonished my wife yesterday

Negro aiifrration
Philadelphia Record
It is a most mischievous notion to im-
plant in the minds of Southern negroes
that they can better themselves by mi-
gration to the North or Northwest No
matter m which direction they move if
they keep within the territorial limits of
the United Statesr they will encounter
competition on white men more patient
of labor than themselves in every field of
industrial effort They will also en-
counter fiercer and more unreasonable
race prejudices
At the South they have made their
place and are secure of such tolerance
and assistance in the experiment of full
fledged citizenship as they cannot get in
other parts of the Union It is all
well enough for partisans in the North
to Drate in regard to the political
terrorism held over the negro in tho late
slave states out their example does not
agree with their precept It is quite as
diffioult for the Northern negro as for the
Southern negro to advance himoelf a line
beyond the social bound prescribed by the
color of his skin There he sticks Poli-
tical advancement lags even behind
social recognition
Notwithstanding the fact that the
negro vote in populous Northern states
like Pennsylvania New York Ohio In
diana and Illinois is absolutely necessary
to secure the preponderance of the party
to which the vote is almost solidly given
no political gain to the negro results
therefrom The Republican party would
not dare to arouso the prejudices of its
white membership by dividing with its
colored allies the spoils of office which
they help to win The Southern negroes
should take these facts into consideration
and look before they leap Colored men
in the North who appreciate the diffi-
culties and denials of residence in the
Northern states would do well to advise
their brethren in the South of the true
condition
About the only way open to the negro
to secure a larger degree of social recog-
nition is to earn for himself ready money
Cash and consideration go together in
jScrthern communities where they could
never penetrate if unyoked Possibly a
negro as rich as Vanderbilt might buy
himself a seat in the Pennsylvania legis-
lature

Breathing and Thinking
New York ledger
Let any reader think for a moment of
what he experiences when he breathes and
attends to the act He will find that his
whole frame heaves and subsides at the
time face chest stomach and limbs are
all actuated by his respiration Now let
him feel his thoughtsand he will see that
they too heave with the mass When
he entertains a long thought he draws
a long breath when he thinks
quickly his breath alternates
with rapid altternations when the
tempest of anger shakes his mind his
breath is tumultous when his soul is
deep and tranquil so is his respiration
when success inflates him hi3 lungs are-
as timid as his conceidts Let him make
he breathes in fits and he will find that
it is impossihbT that in this ca MtHe
chopping lungs will needs mince his
