al’s exchanges are calling the at
teution of the county authorities
to the condition of the roads, and
urging them to do something that
will make them passable.
The Richmond Democrat is
one of The Journal’s most in-
teresting exchanges. McLemore
is in love with his vocation, and
when an editor is in that coudi
tion he will not fail to get out a
readable and interesting paper.
Gen. John M. Palmer, late
Democratic candidate for govern-
or of Illinois, has withdrawn from
the G. A. R. lie alleges as a
reason a violation of the consti-
tution and ritual, charging that
the order his beeu perverted to
political purposes.
The Journal acknowledges the
receipt of the Floresville Citizen
asking to be placed on its ex-
change list, which is cheerfully
done. Mr. Joseph Boebmer has
assumed editorial control of the
paper, which is a very neat six
column folio sheet.
The JOURNAL has heard that
the Weimar Gimlet has been gob-
bled up by Col. Ben Baker, the
suave editor of the Colorado Cit-
izen. Wonder if the Eagle Lake
Canoe will meet the same fate t
It depends chiefly on the citizens
of Eagle lake. If they want to
keep a paper they must support it.
Senator Blackburn, of Ken-
tucky, and Judge Rucker, two old
and fast friends, have got into
controversy as to what was said
on the occasion of a visit by them
to President Cleveland prior to
the election. Blackburu has said
that Rucker was a liar and the
latter has retorted by saying, yon
are another. It is feared that the
matter will result in a duel. Pres-
ident Cleveland sustains the sen-
ator as regards what transpired
during the visit.

servative and fair minded papers
in the state has been Bued for
$20,000 libel, by Judge Haidusek
for publishing a communication
attacking his official record. 'I he

The Journal thanks its con-
temporary, and takes pleasure in
saying that the suit has been dis-
missed by the plaintiff aud peace
and good will restored.
It seems that anarchy in tbe
United States has come to stay,
for a time at least. Recent dis-
patches inform us that it has be-
come enough of an institution to
inaugurate a series of annual cel
ebratious tbe first one of which
was observed in several northern
cities on the 11th ins t. Tbe New
York World Bays that very appro-
priately the date of the hanging
of the Haymarket assassins in
Chicago has been selected for the
purpose. At tbe demonstration
in Baltimore a miniature scaffold
was made one of the stage at-
traction. This was an excellent
idea. The more tbe Anarchists
keep this article of penal furni
tore in mind the better it will be
for them.
The idea that the crazy theories
of these fauatical and miserable
cranks will ever take root in this
country by more than an insig-
nificant number of individuals
will not be entertained for a mo-
ment. They cannot hope to Hour
ish in a country of liberal institu-
tions and where the people are
free. So loug as they confine
themselves to words these vipers
may be permitted to go on with
their hissing,but should they com-
mit any overt acts or conspire to
take or endanger life, swift uud
sure punishment will be meted
out to them. This is an impor-
tant fact that should be under-
stood aud realized by them.
There is some talk of a concen-
trated uprising on their part on
the aniversary of the fall of the
Bastile, next July. If anything
of the kind should occur it will
be the occasion ofan uprising on
the part of the American people
which will result in suppressing
for all time anarchy aud all such
treasonable theories.
other western states. “You may
say,” said Mr. Turner to tbe Jour-
nal interviewer, ‘‘that the high
ways south lead to the place
where we must unload all we have
to sell. As soou as we go there
the saving in freight will be added
to tbe priaes received for tbe
grain and other products.” This
is tbe real issue involved lu the
matter of deep water on the Tex-
as coast to tbe pioducers of the
great west. It is an issue to them
involving profit upon their labors,
aud that is enough to make it one
of vital concern to them. Tbe
highways to the south must be
utilized with a shorter distance in
An itom of $800, allowed the Assessor of
Tttxos, which will ho found in the proceed-
ings of the commissioners court uublUhed
in this issue, will perhaps attract the atten-
tion of the tax payer. The amount was for
services performed by the assessor in taking
ing statistics under a law passed by the last
legislature for tho state department of His-
tory Insurance and|Statistics. There uro over
two hundred counties in the State, and if
they average with Bastrop county in allow-
ance made for this service, the State and the
connties of the State will pav in the neigh-
borhood of one hundred anu sixty thousand
dollars. Tho services performed oy the
volved instead of the highways to
the east with a greater distance
involved. From these eastern
highways and their great inter-
ests opposition of tbe most per-
sistent character is to be expect-
ed; but will not the interests aud
demauds of tbe west and south
west be able to overcome this op-
position t The fight will be in
Congress and it will he a hard one
“The construction of a deep wa-
ter harbor on tbe coast of Texas,”
remarks tbe Leadville (Col.) Her
ald-Democrat, “will be equivalent
to removing Colorado 700 miles
nearer to tidewater. Colorado is
uot yet au agricultural state, but
it is fast becoming oue. It probu
bly exported lust year not less
than 50,000 tous of wheat aud
corn, aud her production of ce-
reals is sure to largely increase
from year to year. We are not
advised as to tbeaunnal shipment
of beef cattle from this state,
but they are enormous, for the
census shows that there are with
in tbe borders of Colorado some-
thing like 2,000,000 head, besides
an equal number of sheep and
hogs. It is extremely probable
that before many years the pro-
ducers of this stale will he in need
of good markets not only for the
products of her soil, but for tbe
products of her mills und maim
factories as well. This will be
found in Mexico and Central A-
inerica, whose trade relations with
the United States since the exteu-
sossor in taking these statistics urn perhaps
worth what he received for them, but the
question is whether tho people can afford to
pay that price for the information furnished.
It would be well for tho noxt legislature
investigate this question.—Bastrop Bee.
The Journal thinks it is pay-
ing too dear for the whistle, and
that tbe best thing the Legisla-
ture can do is to abolish the of-
fice, or at least amend the law so
as to eliminate that part of the
duties. Just what benefit is to
be derived therefrom is difficult
to ascertain. There is no doubt
that the assessors earn all they
get as tbe work performed by
them is quite laborious.

some of these visions, and has re-
turned now a wiser but by no means a hap-

ate that it is hard to make both ends meet,
even if one should be fortunate enough to

of tho prices as relatod by Mr. Marx : Eggs
60 eta. per dozen, butter 60 cts. per pound,
a chicken 76 cts. to $1, veal 26 cents and
beef 20 cts. per pound, and so on, while
wood costs $20 per cord ami coal $80 per

gerates in regard to the price of
wood and beef. There are times

growth, and which will he greatly
accelerated by the construction

Hobbs Thief Killed.—Son-
day moruiug Mr. James Craft
made affidavit before Justice J. B.
Price, charging a negro by the
uume of Frank Dancy with tbeft
of bis horse on the night before.
Warrant was issued and placed
in tbe bauds of Sheriff H. N. Bell.
Sheriff Bell immediately notified
deputy Sheriff Johu Watts at
Smilbville to be ou tbe lookout
for tbe thief, as it was supposed
be bad gone in that direction, Dep-
uty Watts learned that a negro
answering the description given
by the sheriff bad passed that way
going toward Fiatoaia. The dep-
nty summoned a posse of three
men audstarted ou his trail. Wheu
the deputy with his posse, reach-
ed Buckuers creek, they came up-
on their man with the horse. The
creek was swollen by recent rains
and tbe thief had dismounted.
When ordered to surrender, bo
left.the horse aud took to tbe
brush. Deputy Watts ordered
him to bait but failiug to attract
bis attention be drew his pistol
and commenced firing at bim.
One of tbe balls from tbe deputy’s
pistol took effect ill tbe body of
tbe fleeing negro, and be oaine to
tbe ground mortally wounded.
Tbe negro ^ts carried to West
Point for medical attention,which
proved of no avail, the wound re-
sulting in bis death ou Monday
last. The horse stolen was brought
back and returned to its owner.

Alliance Matters.—On bis
return from Dallas Mr. D. M.
Cunningham, member of tbe State
Alliance executive committee,was
met by a Citizen reporter, who
learned that tbe Alliance is in ex
celleut financial condition and all
departments are working smooth
ly. A number of state lecturers
were appointed, among them Mr.
T. J. Evans, of Hutto, and these
lecturers will make a thorough
canvass of the state. Mr. Oun
uingham is a thorough business,
man, conservative in all his ideas,
aud lie exercises a great deal ol
miliicnee in checking extreme
uction by the executive commit
tee. He does uot believe in the
state exchange attempting to
transact the local business of the
country, but wants its transactions
confined to a few specialties where
mutual profit will result. During
the session last week a communi-
cation was sent to the cattle con-
vention in St. Louis, expressing a
hope that tbe dressed beef mo
nopoly of Chicago and Kansas
City may be broken in order that
our home cattle raisers and butch-
ers may do their business. It is
the policy of tbe State Alliance
to encourage any industry that
will increase the prosperity of its
individual members, and the or-
der does not desire to make its
members do business with the
State Exchange when they can
do better at home —Taylor Citi
zen.

Three Brave Girls.—We read
of brave women in history,who,at
great risk to themselves have sav-
ed life and great distress. They
have their reward in the applause
which the world incurs or per
baps are otherwise rewarded. But
when it comes to real homely
bravery in the faithful discharge
of their duty, without reward oth.
er than a clear conscience, and
the smile of fond parents, we
think the young daughters of Dr.
Herrin carry off the palm. They
have this year aside from the per-
formance of other duties, aud the
cultivation of the flowers, with
their own hands and fifteen days
work given by their father, made
four hundred bushels of potatoes,
one hundred and twenty-five
bushels of corn, and about four
hales of cotton. The oldest of
the trio is only nbont eighteen
years of age, and this year finding
their father in debt these girls
bravely put their shoulders to the
wheel to help him out, and nobly
have they done their duty.—Cald-
well News.
tine, only by coming in on
day iu the rein, to be present at
Miss Eudioott s wedding. They
have relaxed somewhat the strin-
gency of their rule of nou-atteu-
dance upon social ceremonies out-
side of the White House regula-
tion events of late days. Two
years ago everybody expected to
see tbe President and bis winsome
lady at tbe christening of Dorothy
Whitney iu the same church in
which Miss Eudioott was married,
aud they never eame. Some oth-
er matters have also obanged.
Time was when the President’s
“luck” could wrest good after
noon weather from a stormy morn-
ing, bnt that pleasant grace has
departed from him, aud he drove
to the wedding in a drizzle of ram.
I understand that Secretary
Whitney has already in great part,
disposed of tbe blooded stock
kept ut Grassland, as almost im-
mediately after the inauguration
he und his charming wife will go
abroad. Secretary aud Mrs. Whit-
ney, by their generous hospitali-
ty aud unvarying politeness to
those of high aud low degree u-
like, have made the past three
seasons memorable iu Washing-
ton. Tbe universal opiniou iu re-
gard to them is that their great
wealth has been expended wisely
and well. The lavish entertain
ing has been a source of pleasure

There is a decided Bhyuess ou
the part of leading local republic-
ans when anyone is venturesome
enough to refer, eveu in the most
indefinite manner, to those lucra-
tive positions commonly denomi-
nated “District offices,” and nu-
merous attempts have been made
to put in circulation the idea that
there would be little competition
for tlie places of honor aud profit
iu the local government which
will be at the disposal of Presi
dent Harrison ou and after the 4th
of March next. That there will be
a struggle for supremacy and sal-
ary is already evident to the close
observer, and there may be, and
doubtless will be, candidates; but
up to tbe present time none have
evinced any desire to be rnlers in
Washington.
The 19th army corps has pre-
pared aud forwarded to this city

sented to Mrs. Sheridan last week
by Col. John C. Heuly, who is

ions of gratitude for tbe renewed

| Tbe News reproduces this morn

attention. The article ia the aab-|
stance of an interview at Topeka,
Kan., with Hon. K. J. Turner,
member of oongreas-eleot from the
Sixth Kanawa district. Mr. Tur-
ner haa evidently mastered the
subject of deep water on tbe Tex-

No paper in the United States

Democrat—than has been the At-

So for the very life of us we can-
uot see why tbe papers of Texas
should adulate Grudy as they are
doing. He’s a sprightly sort of a
fellow, and lippy, but his heart is
not iu Texas, nor Texas iu his
heart to auy alarming extent. Tex-
as should treat him as she does
all other visitors, courteously,bnt
just why she should be tooting
his senatorial horn for him we
cannot see. It is a new trait this,
of Texas licking the hand that
smites her, the baud that has done
it a thousand times, and never

Evcry business mail should

cepting in special cases, is money
wasted. A card to he changed
