The Ohio democracy are warming
up for the convention which soon
meets to nominate the man that For-
aker will knock out.
Each report as it is sentout whittles
down the aggregate loss in that Spo-
kane fire. It was heavy enough at
the lowest but a decrease from $30-
000000 to $6900000 the latest esti-
mate is considerable even for a big
fire.
Texas has tried a state immigration
association a southwest Texas immi-
migration association. Fort Worth has
booked herself to engineer a north-
west immigration association and
now comes in New Birmingham with
a movement to organize an eastern
immigration association.
Hog and hominythose great south-
ern ante-bellum staples go together
jmt as naturally as chicken fat and
possum jelly and yetby some strange
and unaccountable mental process
Texas seems bound to divorce them.
Let tlie hog grow up in tne shadow ot
the corn crib and let the corn crib
empty itself into the hog and Texas
farmers will grow fat as well as their
porkers. Texas has the corn she can
very easily have the hogs and she
needs the pork. Large corn crops
markete 1 into well-bred hogs will pay
good returns. It is all folly to talk of
no market for Texas corn. The hog is
the natural corn market of the svorld.
Matters are mixed at Purvis Miss.
The judge rakes the grand jury over
the coals because rumor has it that
they are unwilling to bring in an in-
dictment against Sullivan but want
the cases referred to the justice. Sul
livan’s counsel noted objections to the
judge’s course and these will be made
the basis of a bill of exceptions when
the case comes to trial. The people
of the county are adverse to taking
any proceedings against the prisoner
and if the case comes to trial it will
probably be very difficult to secure a
conviction at the hands of a Purvis
county jury. The whole thing in a
nutshell is this—the public sentiment
does not consider prize fighting such
a crime as to merit imprisonment and
with the probability of such a sen-
tence before them a jury would not
convict. Public opinion would sanc-
tion a moderate fine but it is adverse
to imprisonment. Sullivan will fight
his case and his friends will not see
him sent to jail until every resource of
the courts is exhausted.

Editor San Antonio Light.
About two weeks ago we attended
the competitive examination of tiie
Civil (male) College Monterey of a
few of the best pupils in their respec-
tive classes. On an elevated plat-
form sat the trustees opposite three
students who were to be examined in
Natural History. The exercises be-
ing conducted in Spanish we regret
not having been able to understand
to all appearance this very credita-
ble examination. The professor’s
questions were short minus a text
book. The answers of the boys were
long and judging from the manner
they handled the stuffed animals
we are sure they knew what they
spoke of. Whole books of excellent
maps and astronomical drawings
(more than can be found in Steele’s
text book) executed by the pupils
were shown us. The walls were dec-
orated with larger maps so well done
by the students that they could
hardly be recognized as hand work.
After the first recitation was over we
were shown to the different depart-
ments. Stepping into the room
where physics are taught we saw in-
numerable apparatus the walls dec-
orated with hundreds of glass tubes
of every size and description. In
the next room of Natural History
we saw some more stuffed animals of
different species in large glass eases;
pressed botanical specimens insects
crustaceans. The kingdom of miner-
alogy was also well represented.
.Three telescopes of different sizes
are great aid to the pupils. Large
cases of beautiful prisms used in
chemistry were shown us.
This institution was founded thir-
ty years ago and here the boys study
everything free of charge including
medicine and law. The professors
all speak English several know three
or four languages and the president
who died since much to the sorrow
of the community was conversant in
seven languages.
All of the two hundred students at-
tending with few exceptions study
English.
Besides this civil institution Mon-
terey has other colleges including a
ladies’ seminary winch had already
closed for*the summer.
The home for the infirm and oltl is
another point of interest in Monterey.
A fine massive modern building
before which a large garden with
beautiful fountains has been laid out.
The dormitories tor men and
women respectively are very
high supported by bronzed pillars
with seven large windows on a side.
Spring beds and large heaters in the
room gave evidence that every com-
fort had been provided for. The us-
ual stone floor covered with a kind
of cement was as smooth asglassand
better finished than we have seen in
the b-st houses. A chapel is also at-
tached to this institution. What we
admired most is the splendid kitchen
range which cost the government
$2000. We visited here just at dinner
time and the good meal steaming on
the fire was very inviting. The
Home which is in charge of English
sisters recently from San Antonio
has been opened only a few weeks.
The state of Nueva Leon may well be
proud of this charitable institution.
Monterey boasts of many beautiful
plazas but the finest resort is Man-
gold’s garden. The walks are beauti-
fully laid out under orange banana
tig and peach trees. Rare plants and
fine flowers add to its magnificent ap-
pearance while a spacious pavilion
with its smooth and even floor lends
greatly to its attraction. Here the
elite of Monterey give ■ their balls and
receptions. To one lately given by
the Mexican citizens the San Anton-
ians were kindly remembered. The
Herman consul Mr. Hank gave a
ball with supper in honor of the vis-
iting strangers which was very much
appreciated.
Before closing I cannot forbear from
adding another encomium to the
thousands already won to the medi-
cinal qualities oi Topo Chico Springs.
It is that of personal observation of a
13-year old little girl from Laredo
who was crippled with rheumatism
for a whole year. She was brought to
Topo Chico unable to move her limbs
being carried and fed like an infant.
After taking hot baths for a week she
regained the use of her hands the fol-
lowing week she was able to use
crutches. By-and-by her feet which
were perfectly turned began to go
back to their natural position then
she abandoned her crutches and final-
ly walked to the street car where she
had been taken out like a helpless
babe five weeks before she walked on
her return home. During her stay at
Topo Chico she has never known a
pain or a sleepless night. C. R.

The committee of thirty-one ap-
pointed at the Dallas freight conven-
tion some weeks since met the repre-
sentatives of the several Texas roads
in conference at Dallas yesterday and
only succeeded in widening the
breach between the roads aud the
shippers. The Santa Fe representa-
tive offered to turn oveY the road to
the committee if the committee would
guarantee seven per cent of the
money actually invested in the road
and the committee stigmatized the
proposition as an insult. This was
disclaimed by the railway men and
statements .were presented by the
Santa Fe anil the Houston and
Texas Central showing that there
were now large deficits in the
running expenses of the roads and
that no general reduction of rates
could be made. Some members of the
committee then took fire and said
they would go before the people of
Texas with their grievances and have
the legislature take up the matter.
Proposition was made for per cent re-
duction on certain classes of freight in
excess of south Atlantic states tariff’
aud the roads replied that under state
law they could not consider that
proposition as a whole but that it
must come before each road separate-
ly. If the figures presented by the
railway representatives are correct to
push this fight as threatened by the
Messrs. Love and Blake is merely a
threat of confiscation. It is not prob-
able that the people of Texas intend
or desire to push the railways lo the
wall it would be a suicidal policy.
