Ep|r ENGLAND 18 HAPPY IN AL> m |<j Great Gratification Expressed bj the Secretary at Understanding With United States and Germrny. & i m London, Nov. 30.?Jos. Chamt berlain, the secretary of state ? for the colonitesn in a speech at a t luncheon at Leicester today, said i- that ever since the great split in | the Liberal party he had found himself a mark for the slanders and misrepresentations of the "baser sort ot politicians" but that he found compensation in the generous appreciation of the majority of his countrymen. Continuing, Mr. Chamberlain eaid he was deeply gratified that the foreign relations of Great Britain were so satisfactory and he asserted that the country owed a debt of gratitude to Lord Salisbury for the great improvement in Great Britain's position. It was especially gratifying, he said, to note the friendly relations ex isting between the Anglo-Saxon Kv branches, saying that the under[ standing between the United P^ States and Great Britain was in deed a guarantee of the peace of the world. This statement was greeted with cheers. ? The world, ?he asserted, was not governed entirely by interest. Sentiment was one of the greatest ? factors. Referring to the attacks of the foreign press, Mr. Chamberlain said these newspapers had not even spared "the almost sacred person of the queen." This, eon tinued the speaker, provoked natural indignation, "which may have serious consequences if our neighbors do not mend their Pf ways." | An outburst of cherring greeted % this threat of the colonial sec L retary. 1 s It was a matter of congratulation, Mr. Chamberlain asserted, that the worst of these "disgraceful attacks" did not appear in the German newspapers. Dealing with the attitude of the foreign relations, Mr. Chamberlain said : "I rejoice, and it is His Life Was Saved. Mr. J. E.

I have so many friends in the United States, almost as many as 1 have here, and I can conceive of no greater disaster to the two countries than to find themselves hostile to each other. Yet 1 remember, when I first visited America, my surprise and astonishment at the evidence given me by statesmen and politicians and in articles in the press of constant suspicion of the objects of Great Britain, constant doubts as to her integrity and a generally unfavorable estimate of our prospects and character. "This ill feeling was due, no (lollht to monw nauooo J"- *? *1 ?J vaUOVOf UUC IU I lie fact that the United States has never been at war with any great power but England, due to their traditions, extending over a century, due to a feeling that the sympathy of Great Britain was not with them in their civil war, and to the gernal belief that the people of Great Britain would see with satisfaction any harm that might befall them. "It appeared to me almost useless to contradict these mistaken opinions. But what the asseverations of statesmen could not do 1X7 a a flnnn K? ? ...? uj tun ovilipitiuy we were able to give when the Unit ed States found itself the object of the suspicion which has so often accompanied our own transactions when engaged in a war of justice against oppression, a war in favor of civilization and good government. Our action proved to the Americans that we were indeed one people, of ^he same thoughts and guided by the same principles. The assurance that was given them in the course of the Spanish war will, I believe, never be forgotten and has placed our relations in an admirable position. The union, the alliance, if you please, the understanding between these two great nations is indeed a cuarantteo of ilio peace of the world. But there is something more which I think any far seeing English 'statesman must hrve long desired, that we should not remain permanently isolated from the continent of Europe, and I think it must have appeared evident to everybody that the natural alliance is between ourselves and the German empire. We have had our differences, quarrels and contentions, but they have all been about petty matters. These diffculties have been gradually removed, until now I cannot conceive that any point can arise in the imme diate future which can bring ourselves and Germany into antagonism of interests. On the con trary, I can foresee many things in the future which must cause anxiety to the statesmen of Europe, but in which our interests TO CUBE A COLD IN ONE DAY Take Laxative Bkomo Quinine Tablets.

A new triple alliance, between the Teutonic race and the two great branches of the Anglo Saxons would, said the colonial secretary, be a potent influence in the future of the world. The speaker explained that he used the word "alliance," but it mattered little whether they had an alliance committed to paper or "an understanding which existed in the minds of the statesmen of the respective countries." A determination in every case to look for favorable motives upon the part of those with whom friendship was desired would be an euormous advantage to both nations concerned and others.

'Irawford Bros. d-wsTHE TRUCK FARMER. The following was written for the Texas Farmer, and we copy it for the benefit of our farmers, and to ask them how far it applies to the situation in this coun ty. When you hear a man or a paper trying to prove by facts, figures and other available material constructed for the purpose, that truck farming won't pay, you can safely go him 16 to 1 that he simply don't want it to pay, that he is "agin it" from start to finish, that, he worships at the shrine of five-cent cotton and the usual spring crop mortgage. Some of our newspaper friends don't seem to want the truck farmers to succeed. They will walk sixteen miles to get an interview with some sorehead who has raised "too much melon" and allow a profit statement on tomatoes or onions as big as a car door to go unnoticed. This, to us, seems unfair, and while we care but little about it, we merely call the attention of our readers to it to show the thing up in its true light. We say openly that truck farming, as carried on in Texas, is the most profitable farming today, and can prove it by as responsible a set of men as ever breathed.

Let's see?how many men in Texas in the year of our Lord 1899 will lack from one to one hundred dollars paying their stin ted store account with cotton ? How many little bare feet will there be in Texas to tell the hor rors of too much cotton to a November norther? How many lit tie heads will there be on Christ mas morn that will peep out from the cover and find that the chimney has been stopped up with five cent cotton, preventing Santa Claus from filling their little stockings ? How many aching hearts will there be that day, caused from low cotton and low spirits? How many old, halfstarved, spavined, hidebound mules and horses are there in Texas today that haven't had half enough to eat in two months because the "user" knew he would have to go iu October. Poor things! it they had the say "say so" diversification would at least go to the living at-home point, 1 ->t ? - wnemer mey raised for shipment or not. How many fortunes have been made this year on cotton? We know a man who had four acres of onions and made nearly $600 on them. How much per acre will this great king cotton net? We know a man who made over $300 on one acre of toma toes. It takes twelve months in the year to make a cotton crop and thiee to four to raise truck, so you have three to one the advantage in time. You can raise cotton to swap for cash only?you can feed fruit and vegetables to stock, eat them yourselves, or credit your neighbor who raises cotton onlv for t.h?m SSrw ibo a big advantage in that way, but the greatest is yet to be mentiond ?we can't, mortgage a truck patch?that is, it can't bo mortgaged like the cotton crop, and this gives our truck farmers the happy thought and privilege of paying cash and living at home. Ah, there is a big thing in behind cotton and truck?when a man plants cotton he has to go in debt for supplies, he gives a mortgage and then the man who furnishes the supplies is not afraid of any one's competition?he's got him.

This big interest is a child of cotton. We are a better friend of cotton than the anti truck people who have quit eating onions tor fear their breath would eavor of a truck patch, and can prove it by saying that truck means to barter or sell. We believe in raising everything at home in abundance, including cotton, except a row, and we don't know but what diversification is a good thing sometimes. The Truck Farmer is not opposed to cotton, as some seem' to think, but simply wants some cotton and something else instead of all cotton and nothing else, as some of our friends would have it.
