How a- Democratic County In Texas in 1888 Was Carried for Har-, rison. T My stay in Missouri was short," said rapt. Dan Webster to a Statesman representative yesterday, 'aS the field diil not promise well, and a proposition to move to Denison,-,Texias, then a town of less than a year old-and containing fully 30O6 inhabitants, promised mucn better. This was in' 1873, aad the move was but fairly made when the financial panic of that year knocked the bottom out of everything. I struggled along for a time when, throngh the rascality of a partner, J closed shop and took, cases on a small daily in the town. HeBce,5 my editorial experience in the Lone Star State was comparatively brief and uneventful." 'But the whirligig of time found me ia 1888 in editorial charge of a small evening paper in the small town - of San Buenaventura, : California. That was the ye&r of the first Harrison and Cleveland -campaign. The Democrats were io have a grand rally to be ad dressed by a maa named Grady, a sil-i ver-tongued Tammany orator from New York, who had made himself famous by opposing the first nomination of Grover Cleveland, at the Chicago convention. The speech' abounded-in reasons why. he was an unfi person for the nomina tion or for the presidency; and by Dennis Kearny, the great labor agitator of Sao Francisco. Politics Were run ning high and the county was pretty close, and it occurred to me that if that old Chicago speech of Grady's could be reproduced it might lessen his influence among the vacillating voters. "1 immediately began a search for taat speech, but could find no one in town that had it or could put me on track of it. As a last resort, I wrote to M. iL DeYoung, editor of the San Francisco Chronicle, to - know n he could and would furnish me a copy. The return marl 'brought one and I had it set in small pica leaded and double col umn, with a big seare head, and run it' on first page. I brought the paper out that evening some two hours earlier than usual and run off an extra large edition. The carriers were instructed to leave a paper at every residence and place of business in town. The result, was that everybody who cared to do, so had read the .speech and were dis cussing it on the streets, in the hotels and saloons. ' I AYhen Mr. Grady arose to address the 'unterrified ' he did so with a copy of the Ventura Free Press in his hand containing that famous Chicago speech, lie began by abusing the editor who had resorted to such methods, and end ed by explaining how he came to make that speech and how ne had seen the error of his ways and was now atoning therefor. By the time he had done this his time was nearly up, so he gave but a few minutes to a discussion of the issues of the day. Dennis Kearney, too, had to take a 'clip' at the Free Press for words published therein re ferring to some of his past acts. He, too, spent the major part of his time in discussing the Free Press and its edi tor, s . .. "My object had been accomplished. The attention of the speakers had been diyerteil from the question of the hour and devoted to matters having ho bear ing whatever upon the issues of the campaign. The county gave Harrison some 500 majority.' .i AFTEB GUILTY PARTIES. Mexican Authorities Trying to Unravel Mystery Connected With Bnth ! erford Murders. Eli PASO. Tex..- Dec. 23.

Attorney General Says the Period of Payment Begins jWiti riling Arti cles of Incorporation and Delinquen cies Znst Ba Paid for Any Interim. Attorney general Crowford yester day -'furnished an official opinion to State' Treasurer Moore regarding ' the obligation of corporations1 to pay : the state license under certain circumstan ces, as detailed therein.; He said: , ; ''"Beplying to yours of reeent Jate relative as to whether ; a corporation which has) simply filed, its corporation papers and paid the organization .fee and license tor balance, of the year an J then jdoes. nothing further., or a year or two, and then subscribes stock, elects directors and proceeds to Jo business, is entitled to receive a (certificate un der the act of 1903 without paying up the license fees: due prior to the elec tion at :Jireetor4 permit me to say that the question is in doubt, as I am usable to find any- precedents or law bearing upon the case except the statute of 1903 imposing the tax, but I find from the first section thereof that every corpora tion organized and formed -for profit shall pay to the reeretary of state, up on presentation of its article's of incor poration for filing, an organization fee and shall, at the same time,' pay the annual license fee for 'the succeeding fraction pf a fiscal year. The words ' organization' and incorporation' are used almost identically. In- other words, : the articles of incorporation, when piesented to . the secretary of state, must be accompanied by the or ganization fee and the annual license fee, for tne balanee ox the year. , "Therefore, it seems- to me that it is the intention of the law that the cor poration shall pay its annual ' license fee from the time it files its articles of incorporation with the Secretary Of state,": and: this view seems to be strengthened from the reading of sec tion 9, which provides for the placing upon a delinquent list any corporation which has failed to pay the last an nual license fee, and then provides that it may be taken from the list by the payment of all annual taxes or license fees with Interest thereon at -the rate of 6 per eent per annum, and then fur ther provides that while "such delin quency shall continue, the right of such delinquent corporation to transact busi ness shall be deemed to be in abeyance. To. hold that the corporation could be relieve! from the payment of the an nual license tee simple by neglect to subscribe the stock or elect directors, woull be permitting the corporation to take advantage of its own neglect, and while it might not be! fully authorized to transact business until it would duly organize under the code, stiU.J jdo not think - the Jfaet that it fails to do so will Telieve it from paying the annual license fees from the date that it files its articles of incorporation." , a HENBY CLEWS' LETTEB. Owl of Wall Street Beports Conditions Existing inr General Business" World. NEW YORK. Dee. 23. f Special. Our stock market has shown a fresh outburst of feverish activity. The spec ulative spirit is rising irristibly. and this in spite of restraints imposed by conservative . banking interests and wthout any regard to conditions in the money market. 'The reason for all this is, of course, unbounded . confidence in the general situVition " and belief that the monetary situation will improve af ter the middle of January, if not earlier. The extraordinary outburst in the cop per stocks and their rapid advance, due chiefly , to the i unprecedented Remand and the very . high price for -copper, have greatly stimulated speculative op erations in other directions. It has also attracted particular attention to the industrials many of which are en joying a period of prosperity beyond all expectations. The activity in. the steel and all kindred industries con tinues unabated; the, knowledge that these corporations are. making unusual profits being the basis of much of the present speculation, to - say nothing of the effect of various larger deals which are in process ; of negotiation. Better class railroad issues have been compar atively neglected; 'but these too arc now receiving increased attention from the new class: of ; operators who are evidently'coming, into the market. " The excitement in copper and other indus trials is undoubtedly acting as a very powerful stimulus to general Specula tion, and there are signs of the publie coming - into the market more freely than at any time for months past.; Al most every stock of consequence now has One or more pools devoting them selves entirely to the; upward manipula tion of their particular stocks. In con sequence an active market is probable for some time to come, and this in spite of the adverse circumstances which at the close of the year usually tend to restrict operations,', ; The 'upward tide at present seems almost irresistible, and there are large numbers who think it better to go with the tide than to op pose" it. . Experienced operators, how ever, cannot shut their, eyes to the in creasing risks of the speculative situa tion. Stocks are steadily passing from strong into Weaker bands,' and insid ers are likely to , increase their sales in proportion as the! market advances. There is more or less pyramiding of accounts and the reinvestment -of paper profits than usual. . These are elements of danger, especially in the absence of any short Interest of importance." The market is also boney-combed with stop orders ia stocks which have made ex traordinary advances.'" Of course, if nothing happens; if we have to squeeze in money; if there should be no trouble in Europe arising from the depreciation of Russian bonds; or if no other un favorable contingency arises, the bull ish enthusiasts will have things largely their own way. Nevertheless, the mar ket is exposed to sudden and severe set backs, which would quickly wipe ,out slender margins. The greatest itnaie- diate dangers are temporary stringency in the money market incidental to heavy January disbursements, and the risk of collapse in Eussian credit. The latter is more serious than is generally realized. The Eussian empire seems threatened with - some form of disinte gration the teffect of which might be disastrous tosher national credit.- . Rus sia's gold. . Supply ;has.. been mueh ex hausted by. the war, and is now being further drawn upon, to meet, interest obligations, which Russia has ; always hitherto faithfully. satisfied; Condi tions in Russia, however, are so"ehaotic that it is impossibe to yet form any opinion as to the outcome and. a close watch should be "kept npbn the market price of Eussian bonds- wfefcaica hitherto had strong support and showed remarkable . resisting"' owers. . Our railroad situation continues high ly satisfactory." Earnings of forty-one roads for the " month - of - November showed an increase, of "Over 8 per cent for;. that inontJL over-the large returns of a year ago. Many, of the roads are etill seriously overtaxed with trafSe, and there is no question but that much of the new building . proposed i up td date is absolutely necessary in order to keep pace with the. .growth of trade and population ; in the - west. , Unless something happens to interfere with the present progressive movement we are likely to see epnsiderable new mileage constructed in tb$ west during the next two years., Nothing has occurred thus far at Washington to create very ser ious apprehension regarding railroad legislation. . A number of bills have in troduced the purpose of which are so conflicting that a long and possibly fruitless discussion seems in prospect Some idea of the activity of busi ness can be had by the fact" that for the eleven months' ending November 30 the clearings in the United! States ag gregated almost one hvndred and tlirtj billions, or 30 per cent ahead ; of the same time , last year. ', This is ; an ex traorJinary vincrease , and "is well, dis tributed oyer the entire country; : al though the gain ia, heaviest both in vol ume and. percentage, in the city of New York," where the r speculative "operations for the whole country , largely centers Such activ;t of course explains in part the' stringency in money. High inter est rates are-"certainly more the result of 'business activity than speculation. The latter is ' merely a sequence, and not a cause. , The supply of currency in the last two years has been increased by over $213,000,000, and in spite of this fact call loans 'have been averag ing' as-high as 8 to 10 per cent. Nc better- argument could "be, found for the "need of an elastic currency system than the preseat stringency in th money market,' which might easily bf severe enough to interfere - with th continuance of prosperity. Sudih?n re actions in -the market may be expected especially as -the -disposition to -realizf is growing,, and r those -who have goot' profits, are, display jpg 'too, much willing ness to, give the .newcomers whatevei chances may remain. - Henry Clews.

VILL BENEFIT THE RANCHER PRESIDENT BOOSE VELT COM MENDS POLICY OP WILSON.' ' TOWABD GEAZTNG PUBLIC LANDS Says Amount Charged for Privilege Is . Small Part of the Beal w" President Addresses Communication to Secretary as Besnlt of Protest Be ceived From : Cattlemen of Western States Forest Eeserres Help Country WASHINGTON Dec. 23. President Roosevelt, in a letter addressed to Sec retary Wilson, the department of agriculture, on tlie subject of of fees for grazing horses and cattle in the national forest , reserves, upholds the secretary in the regulations, formulated by him and which will become effective January: 1, 1906, whereby certain rule are laid down" for the granting jot grazing permits. The communication is the result of a protest sent to the presi dent by cattlemen from one of the west ern states and is based on a report by Secretary Wilson, to whom the protest was referred. 4 The letter of the presi dent follows: . - . ' President Boosevclt's Letter.. . "The White House, Washington, D. C. ' '. V "December 21, 1905. "jrfy Dear Mr. Secretary: "I have receivel your '. letter of December -20. I cordially approve of the policy you , are carrying' on. Our effort is to keep the gracing lands in the forest reserves for tho use of the stockmen, and especially the small stock men who actually live in the neighbor-f hood of the reserves. To prevent tho waste and -destruction of the reserves and to keep-them so that they can. bo permanently used by the stockmen.no less, than by the public, you have to spend a certain amount of money. Part of this money is to be obtained by charging a small fee for each head of stock pastured on the reserve.'. - "Less than a' third of the actual Val ue of the grazing is at present charged, "ind.it is, of course, perfectly obvious that the man who pastures his stock ihould pay something for the preserva? tion of that pasture. He gets all the benefit, of the pasture, and he pays for its use but a small fraction of the value that it is to him, and this money is in reality returned to him because it is used in keeping the forest reserve per manently available for use. I. "You this year ma&e a special reduc tion by which the ranchmen pay but half rates. This is in accordance with the steady policy of your department as regards the western lauds, which is to favor in every way the actual set tler, the actual home-maker, the man who himself tills ' the soil or himself rears and cares for his small lierd " of ?attle. In granting grazing permits you sjive preference first. 1 1 the Small, near by owners; after that to all regular oc--upants of the reserve range, and final ity to the owners of transient stock. "This is exactly as it snouiu ie. me small, near-by owners arc the home steaders, the men who are making homes for themselves by the labor of their hands, the men who have entered to possess the land and to bring iip their childrf n thereon. The other regular occu oants rf the reserve range, that is, the 'arger ranch owners, are only entitled 'o cone after the smaller men! " If, af ter thse have been admitted, there still remaii s an ample pasturage," then the jwner i of transient stock, the men'who Irive' the tramp herds or tramp- floks hither and thither, should be admitted. These men have no permanent abode, do Wit littleflo build up the land and ire 'not. to be favored at thoexpense rf the. regular occupants, large or. small. This system prevents the grass -from being eaten out by other herds or fl"ks f nonresidents, for only enough cattle md sheep are admitted upon the re serves. to fatten upon the pasturage without damaging it. ' " In other words, under the policy yon have adopted; the forest reserves fljre to be used as among the most pot eft in 3uences in favor of the actual homo maker, of the man with a few dozen r few score head of cattle which he has gathered by his own industry and is himself caring for. This is the kind of man upon whom the foundation of our citizenship rests, and it is eminent-1 ly proper to favor him in every way. Sincerely yours, ! ,, y ' Theodore Boosevelt. i "Hon.
