BILL NYE! IN TEXAS.
His Annual Farewell Tour of
State.
the
Ik Texas, )
Down ey the Bio Gkaxde. )
I am preparing at this time a large
and costly testimonial forthe young
man who suggested the idea of making
this spring my first grand annual fare
well tour of Texas. It has been a
great success from a boxtdiiee and so
cial standpoint. Artistically, of course,
the carping critic might see places
where he could hav done a great deal
better himsejf.
Texas, as we know already, is a
mighty empire of itself, connecting
the stern and sturdy elements ot the
r nrmersA Alliance ot Kansas on the
north with the romantic yet peppery
(jnixu'e of t he south. Here the sad
and solemn lubricator, vulgarly called
the greaser, spends h.is patrimony on
a!i eight pound hat, and with what he
has left he btivs a horse. 1 never lire
of looking at the delirious clothes of
a prosperous greaser. They are wildly
beautiful to one who loves, as I do,
to see a hand to -hand contest to a fin
ish between strong colors.
On Sunday 1 attended divine wor
hip at the Mexican cathedral in San
Antonio. It affords me a grand op
portunity to look: at the clothes of the
congregation, as we do at home, also
to study the faces of the people us tney
came out. Religion does not seem if.
afford the Mexican. much joy or com-
fort.i He jroes through it, however, as
one gets his teeth repaired not for
the delirio-.is thrill of joy he finds lurk
ing in the job itself, Out as a precau
tionary measure and as an evidence ol
4iis powers of endurances
The ladies of the congregation, it
seemed to me, -showed better taste in
proportion to their means thau the
gentlenieji. They dressed plainly, and
seemed to favor deep mourning where
ever there was an excuse for it. Some
of them, I jadge, were mourning on
very slight provocation that is. if they
weiv mourning tiie loss of Mich hus
bands as I was permitted to see samples
of.
The men wore large hats, heavily
embroidered, and whatever else they
could get in the way of clothes. J
never saw people sun so much hats or
seem indifferent to outer clothes. I
i t i i
saw one man ai cnurcn wuo wore a
massive Mexican hat with two or three
pounds of silver braid on it, and u
leather cinch with two saver buckles
for a baud. He also wore a beautiful'
pair of lilac trousers. 0;;e man in
the amen corner of the cathedral wore
no ceat or vest, but had a shirt made
of buff calico, with irrim figures
on it, and it was made with puffed
sleeves and a Stewart collar. He had
also socked his inheritance into a hat.
I 1. . i: i a . i
auu wore nenoirope trousers ot tlie
the time of Queen Elizabeth.
Dallas is probably (he most prosper
ous of Texsis cities. Some well known
wnterup of towns possibly Charles
Dudley Warner states that if you
draw a circle, using a radius of 100
milrs, with Dallas as the center, you
will have therein thirty-four counties
I was too tired to try it while at Dallas,
and could not get a 100 mile radius at
any of the places where I looked
Some of the stores didn't seem to have
any radius at all.
These thirty-four counties produce
nearly half of the cotton of Texas, also
more than halt the oafs and wheat. It
is a very fertile district indeed. Th
sou is rich and de.-p, and cotton just
grwws wuu ine sugnresi encourage

'I said that was a good simile.
He said he didn't know what it wa.

I found that lie was talkative, and
so I conversed with him He said
tliat he had got all his work done up
ahead and got all over the rush before
I came: so th.nt he could have a real
good visit with me when got here.
I judged that it had been several years
since he had ben bu'sy , however.
He said that Texas was advancing
rapidly, he thought, in the matter of
civilization. I said "res," with a ris
ing inflection. He said that she was
now safely past the crisis, he though t-V

It .was a quiet and rather unpreten

cupied during the day as a laundry and
Tuesdays and Fridays as a club room.
The franchise of the club consisted of
the inalienable right to meet, medicate
and adjourn. - The club properly con
sisted of a guest's register, made in
imitation of the butcher's order book,
with a pine led pencil tied, to it by a
st ing, a gallon beer pail and a set of
dominoes.
The Upper Congo club allows no
millionaires' sons to -join. Ot course
if a member should become a million
aires' son after he had united with the
club he cannot be expelled Without a

Dallas is beautifully surrounded by
the State ot lexas ana U.uc unit, a
. r. try s 1 1 nf
handsome suburb, with a thriving ho-
tel and a vigorous girls' college. Also
a pavillion fer speakers and concerts
duriug the summer, and a menagerie.
There is a train running between Oak
Cliff and Dallas which is called an ac
commodation. It is ow ned by the ho
tel, and the proprietor throws iu the
railroad. I say this so that the inter
state commerce outfit may look into
the matter and throttle this giant evil.
Dallas did a business in 1SS9 of over
S3 1,000,000. Since then trade has
reatly increased. While there 1 met
a company of Boston capitalists, head
ed by ex-Governor BracKett. I hey
had just bought a building for $250,-
000 that day. Four million dollars
are (or is) invested iu factories and
the yearly product is over 8,000,000.
I was also in Dallas two days, and put
quite a little sum of money in circula
tion while there. I cannot help it.
The western spirit - of freedom and
reckless expenditure conies over me,
and I buy the morning paper some
times and do not read half of it.
I went to see the "Ulcmeuceuu Case j
while in Dallas. I had avoided it
while in New York, but the pictures
and printing were so beautiful that 1
accepted theJnvitatioH of a real nice
man and went to see thw ''Clemenceau
Case." I will never have to do so any
more. I write down my confession
that I did go with much sorrow and
regret, but I cannot conceal it any
longer.
The play is said to have a beautiful
moral concealed iu it. There was no
oncealment in the play with this ex
ception, though. The story is on the
order of a train book now meeting
with a large sale, called "The Sin of
the Strawberry Blonde; or, Drowning
Out the Gopher in My Grai.d.nother's
Grave," by Pearl Studebaker.
The heroine is strangely be xutiful
in her lithographs and poses as an
artist's model in one of the acts. If
was very still during this scene. You
could have almost heard a cough drop.
After it wsis over, and the artist threw
jl piano cover oyer his model, the en
tire audience turned around and looked
it me with a keen, searching glance. .
I looked around also, as who would

was that he that ddvertiseth and bil

The K.ii-hts of i Pythias held a con
clave at Dallas whil I was there. I
wove a badge in order to be -soci able,
an 1 by that means learned of different
gr ps and signs cf distress. I think
ii w I could ,worUtiy way into a lodge
if I could have time and a large cork

s rangers during the past yenr or two
while travelling and making a wide
acquaintance, looking to any acciden
t d turn in affairs in 1892, I am struck
by the large and varied number of
grips given me which I am not able to
classify. i .
1 would think! that a man who
belonged to most all the secret societies
must have very little time to devote to
his business aftsr successfully remem
bering all the grips, signs, pass words,

degrees, constitutions, by-laws, reports -
vi committees, initiations, communi
cations and new businss, good of the
order, violation of obligations, opening
odes, manual of arms, laying of corner
stones and funeral services. If I had
all these in my head I could just about
remember the combination of my
safe, but 1 would not be mf ntally ade

mature quicker than was necessary for

The stock farmer has the mot imh.

shine without a host of hands to feed,
and pay off. He is more independent
of the oad seasons than the grY.in
grower, who loses a, crop when tho
season is bad. True, there i nothing
now to brag of in prices of stock, but
still it is better thaii any other bni'

Such a fire of abuse the editors of

Our past record is before the public,
and we defy our worst enemy to how
wh u s we ever handled a dirty shilling,
or have ever betrayed a trust or our
people. We have asked neither honor
nor office. If this ber demagoguery,
make the most of it, we know our own
hearts and every pulsation of it beats
in sympathy with the struggling far

our position by slander, threats , or
abuse. We haye 80,000 alliancemeu
