The Denton Monitor says:

! failing in their ellbrts, like the
i rest of us, to destroy the constitu-
Ith.'n, now they are opposed to the
I Blair bill because it is unconstitu-
t on.;;. <> tcuipors! O mores!"
, This is pretty talk from a man,
i
shipped through Galveston, as
clearly shown in the recent circu-
lar of Mr. John Owens. The
Light, under these circumstances
dots what it can to influence the
wool growers in favjr of a useless
expense. By suffering a loss for
the present they may hope in some
way to build up a Western gulf
p"rt, the Light argues. It is in
this respect a Light that does not
shin°. San Antonio is not a gulf
port. It is San Antonio that is to
be built up. The News claims for
no city a toll which it is not in the
\ citizen of Georgia who is | interest of the shipper to pay.

THE HESPERIAN,
OalneHVllle, Texan
prospecting, was surprised yes-
terday when he was told that the
death rate of Sherman with II,-
000 inhabitants is only about
five per month.—Sherman Dem-
ocrat.
It doubtless created a greater
surprise to the people of Sher-
man to learn that they had a
newspaper given to the publica-
tion of such unreasonable stories
as the above.
The federal court question will
soon be as great a bone as the
Blair bill.
A petition with 500,000 names
appended Jias - been- presented to
congress praying for the postal
telegraph.
Mrs. Giveway of Tennessee
recently gave birth to five
boys. MrB. Givewa, isanxious
to give away four of them.
Wonder if Congressman Bou-
telle isn't Jsorry by this time that
he ever gave the administration a
chance to tell all about the confed-
erate flag business.
"Old Brains" may have to
ruBtle a litlle this time, "but ha
will get there all the same." The
rotten egg brigade is not strong
enough to down him.
If Mills shows his temper a few
more times as he did in the house
other daj, it will not be neces-
sarry for Coke to have anything to
say in the senatorial race.
Dxznsos ought to get the
federal court this time. She

IpMN&ii* .
Hyp?'*? J"v '■ '•'
The weary wrangle over the
federal court will have to be gone
over again and result in nothing.
Denison may succeed in
getting h°rcame inserted in a bill
that will probably pass the house.
Then Vest will knife it in the
senate and leave Fort Smith with
all the pie. We say Denison may
get it. Congressman Hare can
have any place he wishes inser^^
in the bill, ap-t1 -Denison will
doub!lp-5.'. try to work the rabbit
mSPon him.
It appers from an extract in an
exchange that the Toledo (Ohio)
Commercial, a bitter Republican
paper, is guilty of the meanness of
charging that Speaker Carlisle
appointed the committee to pass
upon his right to hold a seat in
Congress with an eye to a verdict
in his favor. This is not only ma-
licious but it is false. A tyro
should know that Mr. Carlisle had
nothing to do with the appoint-
ment of the committee on elec-
tions whicii passed on his case.
The Democratic members were
selected in a Democratic caucus
and the Republican members in a
Republican caucus. Besides this,
Thoebe's case was worthless and
made more ridiculous by the
grand and lofty tumbling of his
attorney.
BAH WHISKY AND SIX-
SHOOTERS.
Three young lads, after
quenching their thirst for whisky,
with extract of lemom, started out
from this place Wednesday even-
ing about dark for a dance, and
when passing John Brown's res.
idence, drew their "mighty cut.
Where San Antonio cannot contri-
bute to the economical forwarding
ol business, San Antonio has no
right to expect to take a toll from
the wool growers for unnecessary
service, just as Galveston has no
right to cause unnecessary unload-
ing and loading of vessels for
local employment. The question
of marketing the clip of wool this
year and for each coming season
is a practical question for wool-
men. At some future time there
may be deep water at a point on
the west gulf coast, but meanwhile
a cent or more a pound upon wool
thrown away in useless freight to
San Antonio is so much lost to
wool growers ; and it is not per-
ceptible how the deep water
scheme for Arkansas is going to
'be promoted by paying such sums
in freight over lines to San An-
tonio. Neither is it at all likely
that with deep water at Galveston
and at Arkansad the freight to
New York would ever be less by
way of Arkansas than by way of
Galveston. But if it should be so
the woolen men will act wisely to
take advantage of the circumstance
when it arises. For the present
they are raising and Belling a
staple that docs not go to market
by Arkansas—not to any great
extent. Mr. Owens' circular
stands true. The silence of oppo-
nents on the points covered by
figures and most important for
wool growers, can not fail to aid
in impressing upon the wool
growers a matter which they must
find to be a substantial saying for
them in dollars. If San Antonio
could do anything to enable her
to give better prices for wool, then
the wool growers would be just so
much indebted to Mr. John
Owens' eircular, which has
revealed to the wool growers a
considerable advantage to them in
simply paying the railroads so
much less by more economical
course, that is, shipping through
to Galveston.

That this fine weather Is a
source of relief to everybody is
manifest because of the number
of callers we've had this huff day
or two.
And the first thiog some of them
said, was, "where's the remnant
counter." Of course they soon
found it, and the onslaught on
these givb away bargains made a
hole in the pile. Fine weather
for two or three days more is all
we need to clear out every yard of
them. So belter "make hay
while the sun shines."
But here silks are going to be
as attractive as the remnants.
Fact is you've no idea of the
value of the silks—simply most
remarkably low in price. Really
there are some lovely shades
among them.
We'll give you a fine display
Monday morning.
There are a few pairs of boots
and sboos^still left on the job coun-
ter at half-price.
And a new line (just arrived),
of walking shoes suitable for the
earning season, both for gentle-
men and ladies, and for misses
and children too.
This department is perpetually
on the boom somehow and we
mean to keep it a going.
First-class quality and figures
that cannot be touched have made
our trade, and by the same meth-
ods we mean to increase it. This
is really a store within a store
and everything you need may
generally be found here.
Getting too warm again for
winter clothing perhaps! But
there's danger lurking around yet.
Even as we write, the elements
are threatening. Still we may
reasonably expect a good share of
moderate weather from now on,
and you'll likely need medium
weight frabrics for dresses suit-
able to the weather.
There's nothing better and
more suitable than an all-wool
frabric in Camels' Hair, at 70
cents a yard. It is 40 inches
wide and comes in gray, brown,
and ecru—goods beautifully fin-
ished and made up in elegant
style.
Various other all-woll frabrics
and fine tricots, and just the
thing for early sprirg.
Our trimming department is con-
tinually replenished with every-
thing new and staple.
In hoiserv goods we are ahead
in every respect and we confi-
dently invite an early inspection
of our stock, knowing that you
will be pleased.
Cioaks are going at your own
price almost.
Beaded capes are very fashion-
able, but we've only one or two
left, and we've marked them
down.
Society people North and East
are still giving Chantilly lace the
preference for social occasions,
and if you want to keep abreast Of
the times you'd better call and
see us. We keep it in stock, but
of course it is a lace for the few
because it is more expensive than
that usually in demand.
Gents' we are making a cut on
Derby hats.
Dress shirts, the very latest
agony are always kept in stock.
Our line of beautiful should
scarfs and opera shawls for society
events, has a fall complement of
colors and white and the embroid-
ery is rich varied and unique-
prices are reduced too.
