Synopsis.
Galveston, Tex.. Oct. 31.1894,8 a.m.—
The low pressure area has remained about
stationary over the lower lakes during the
past 24 hours. An area of high pressure over-
lies the gulf'States.
The temperature has fallen over the At-
lantic states and has risen generally else-
where.
The weather is generally clear, except over
the lakes, where it is partly cloudy to cloudy.
Rain has fallen the past 24 hours over the
lake region and the Atlantic states.
The city’s credit is well established,
and all that is now required is to
change the charter to insure the elec-
tion of capable officers.
thFweath’er^
Several neighbors got to drinking at
Kountze Monday night and yesterday
one was found dead and two others
were jailed charged with his murder.
All the temperance lectures are not
delivered from platforms.
The Houston Post characterizes as
“a lame apology” The Tribune’s out-
line of the causes why Mr. Crowley is
opposed in this community. The lame-
ness is in the other leg. The apologists
in this campaign are democrats who
haven’t the courage to oppose Mr.
Crowley. They have been apologizing
ever since the convention and if he
should be elected they will apologize
to the end of his term.
It can not escape observation that
in New York and elsewhere the demo-
cratic nominees ■who are not rallying
the full support of their party are op-
posed on personal grounds. The logic
of the situation is that good men must
be nominated.
COTTON ACREAGE AND CREDIT.
The executive committee of the Farm-
ers Alliance of Texas has issued an
address expressing the opinion that
the cause of the low price of cotton lies
in the underconsumption of the manu-
factured product and in “the contrac-
tion of the circulating medium ol
money and demanding a high rate of
interest with bankable gilt-edge paper,
which will bankrupt and financially
ruin the farmers of moderate means.”
The committee, neverthless, expresses
the opinion that reducing the acreage
one-half and putting the remainder in
diversified crops would afford the met*-
chat a better plan for making advances
than the plan of full acreage.
The relation between a large crop
and low prices this year is so palpable
that the theory of a reduction in the
circulatihg medium is hardly tenable
in view of the fact that there has been
no such reduction during the period of
the recent decline. There are other
causes for the low price of cotton, in-
volved with everything else, in the late
financial depression, but it is not work
while to discuss them in this connec
ticn. There is no getting away from
the proposition that a small crop will
bring better prices than a large crop,
and that is a matter which the farmers
alone can,regulate.
The committee seems to object that
debtor farmers should give gilt-edge
bankable paper, yet it contemplates
credit to the farmers by merchants
who are required to give to their
debtors, the banks, the same kind of
gilt-edge bankable paper, and if the
banks did not require such paper they
would not long be banks.
The committee seems to contemplate
that the farmer can not get along
without “advances.” There is his
chief trouble. If he would make him-
self independent of advances and con-
fine his cotton crop to such an acreage
as he could cultivate within his own
labor resources, diversifying and rais-
ing his own supplies, he would have
whatever the cotton brought as a sur-
plus, and in this process would in-
cidentally increase his net profits, both
by reducing the total acreage, thereby
enhancing prices, and escaping the
high rate of interest on advances.
There is no use to say that the
farmers can not get upon a cash and
home-supply basis. Thousands of them
have done it and thousands of them are
doing it in Texas every year. To such
farmers high rates of interest are im-
material and bankable paper is a com-
modity he does not need.

Four Millions Involved.
Sioux City, la., Oct. 31.—Judge Shi-
ras, in the federal court, has made an
order fixing November 25 tor hearing
the arguments^pn the question of own
ership of the stock and bonds of the
Sioux City and Northern and Sioux
City. O’Neil and Wester roads. The
securities are claimed by J. Kennedy
Tod & Co. of New York and the Credits
Communication company. The amount
involved is about $4,000,000.
Swindling a Woman.
New York, N. Y., Oct. 31.—The
World this morning says: There was
a man convicted before Judge Mai tin
in general sessions yesterday, who for
the past 10 years has led a checkereG
life. His name is Henry J. Wynne.
He was convicted of grand larceny in
the first degree, the maximum punish-
ment for which is 10 years in the state
prison.
Wynne was the son-in-law of the late
ex-Governor McEnery of Louisiana.
Wynne was convicted of obtaining
$1500 from Mrs. Annie Oliphant, a
fortune teller on August 18, 1893. He
represented to her that he was at the
head of tie Manhatfai Wrecking,
Diving and Lighterage company. He
induced her, she says, to invest $1500
in shares, she says, were worthless. It
took the jury three minutes to convict
him. Judge Martin remanded him for
sentence.
Wynne superintended the construc-
tion of a railroad in Georgia and was
sent to Paris, where he met Miss Mc-
Enery, and married her. He was a
representative of “Buffala Bill’s” show
abroad.
Miss Winnie Is Neither a Woman
Suffragist Nor a Republican.
Richmond, Va., Oct. 31.—Mrs. Jef-
ferson Davis, in a letter written to a
friend here, indignantly denies the re-
port that her daughter, Winnie, is a
woman suffragist and has said that she
would vote the republican ticket if she
had a vote at all. In speaking of this
rumor Mrs. Davis says:
“It is false ,n every particular. Miss
Davis is not in lavor of woman suf-
frage. She. thinks it would be a mis-
fortune to oux* sex if it were conferi ed
and a right which it would seldom be
in their power to exercise, at least in
cities. The idea of her saying that she
would vote the republican ticket is too
monstrous for it to impress the ma-
jority of our people as the truth. Yet
we are mortified that the allegation
should ever have been made.”

WOMEN IN SPORTS.
The Athletic Girl of the Period a Credit to
Her Sex as Well as an Example.
This is surely the day of woman.
She is in the front rank everywhere.
Even the realm of sport acknowledges
her presence and welcomes her, and
she is the better for being in it. There
can be no manner of doubt about the
improvement in physique observable
in this generation of both English and
American women. The statisticians,
indeed, have busied themselves in
proving that we live in the days of
Amazons. Very old beaux, with very
long memories, who know, ox- profess
to know, the globe by heart, aver that
they can recall no period during their
earthly sojourn when fine, tall, shapely,
broad-shouldered gix-ls were so fre-
quently to be encountered in Hyde or
Central park-, in Regent street or in
Broadway, or, indeed, in axxy fashion-
able j’endezvous in either New York or
London. The reduction of physical
education to a science is clearly respon-
sible for most of this improvement.
With the development of the muscular
power has always come the desire to
use it in a definite direction—a desire
which the racial love of sport has quick-
ly gratified. Lawn tennis, golf, fenc-
ing. swimming, now constitute almost,
if not quite, indispensable portions of
an American’s girl's curriculum. New
York belles steer their own pachts to
victory and urge their fleet canoes
toward the winning post with as
much grace as success. Cycling, also,
has made enormous strides among
our sisters, for the’wheel world includes
no fewer than thirty thousand lady
cyclists! One will not stop to discuss
here the tendency of a certain set of
pessimists to denounce wheel exercise
as a prolific source of cardiacal disease
and a fruitful producer of round shoul-
ders. This is pre-eminently an age in
which judgment by results is prone to
defeat the most perfect of theories, and
the testimony of the facts is all in favor
of the healthfulness of this recreation. to-nighrat’the^iflencenHhe bride’s
In England, as well as in America, the' ‘ - .
case for cycling has been proved, and
proved just as conclusively as the con-
tention has been established that the
true sportswoman is one of the most
valuable of the many valuable factors
which go to regulate and counterbal-
ance some of the most harmful anom-
alies of society here as well as in En-
gland.—N. Y. Advertiser.
W. P. Draper, druggist, Springfield,

three years; now walks any distance.”

Over a Hundred.
Ottawa, O., Oct. 31.—Mrs. R. S.
Baum, living near Fort Jennings, this
county, died to-day from old age. She
had passed her 108th birthday. She
was one of the early settlers of this
county, and remembered well the war
of 1812. She left four children, the
eldest being 81 years old.

TWO MEN tMJURE&i -
Tlie Falling of a Scaffold Gaaw« Se-
rious Damage.
A little after 8 oYlobk this morning
the scaffolding on a new residence be-
ing erected on avenue Q., between
Twenty-seventh and Twenty-eighth
streets, gave way and two men were
cadly injured.
Charles Rau, a carpentex* who was
on the scaffold, fell a distance of 14
feet and had his back and neck badly
bruised. It is thought he also received
internal injuries. He was taken to his
home, on Forty-ninth and avenue Q,
where he is suffering intense pain, but
the attending physician thinks the in-
juries will not prove fatal.
Charles Whittaker, a tinner engaged
in putting up a gutter, was on the same
scaffold, His leg.was broken by the
tall and he was otherwise bruised. He
was taken to his home on Thirty-
seventh and avenue Q by Officei* Pur-
cell. His injuries, although painful,
are not serious.
What caused the scaffold to give way
is not known, as the men had been at
work on it for several days.

Tribune Building, Center Street,
The Advertising
patronage of The Tribune has steadily increased
under the present management. Merchants are find-
ing that it pays to talk to the consumers through
the columns of The Tribune, and certainly the new
dress of type which was put on September 1 makes a; ■
very handsome appearance. AdvertisingJ'rates fur-
bished upon application.
The Circulation
of The Tribune on the last day of May was 1301.
Since that date it has been inersased over 1900,
the daily issue now being over 3200, and it is in-
creasing steadily. To distribute The Tribune in
Galveston requires nine carriers, there being three
foot and six horse routes. A map of the various
routes is now being prepared, so that the carrier
districts may be increased in number and decreased
in size. This will result in getting the papers
-to subscrioers earlier.
Can’t do business successfully,and be late on the
market quotations. There is no value in a market
report if it is three or four days old. The Gal-
veston Tribune publishes each afternoon a full and
complete report of the cotton markets of the world.
This report goes all over Texas on the night trains
and reaches far-away points in time for cotton men
to operate in the markets next day. It is of vastly
more value than the postal cards and circulars sent
out by factors, because it is complete, giving the
official record of the markets as received in the
Galveston Cotton Exchange. This feature of The
Tribune will be made permanent, it being the inten-
tion of The Galveston Publishing Company to develop
The Galveston Tribune into what will be the only
The Associated Press
Service of The Tribune was, the first week in Sep-
tember, increased from 1000 to3500 words a day, and
it ^covers the field very thoroughly. Readers of
The Tribune throughout Texas will notice that the
morning papers of this state publish the same tele-
graphic news which appeared in The Tribune the day
before. The bulk of this telegraphic service is
received in Galveston over the leased wire of the
Associated Press and is delivered to The Tribune
before 7 o’clock each morning.
The Local Service
of The Tribune is excellent, and is being bettered
as fast as possible. Everything of moment which
happens during the day up to the time of going to
press is reported faithfully and with a strict re-
gard to facts. It is the aim of the management of
this paper to report all news events faithfully
and from an unbiased standpoint, allowing no edi-
torial comment except in the editorial columns.
The editorials of The Tribune are largely local in
their application and are of no uncertain tone.
Daily Cotton Newspaper
published in the United States.
The Tribune’s mail is made up in our own office
under special permission from the postal authori-
ties, and is pouched and routed ready for the
early night mails, so that it leaves this city on
the 7.30 and 9.05 trains, making connection at
Houston with all the mail trains to every point in
Texas. The Galveston Publishing Company is daily
in receipt of letters from cotton men throughout
Texas commending the market report ard stating
that it is clear, comprehensive, unbiased and cor-
rect—features which are necessary in a report
which is intended to be of value.
