FRIDAY NOVEMBER 12 1897.
There will be a shortening of the term
of cattle quarantine this year from
December Ist to November 15th.
Less than another week and the Tex-
as cattle men can put their cattle in-
to Kansas "regardless.”
Quarantine is raised all over Missis-
sippi and oysters from Morgan city are
coming west.
Jo Chamberlain thinks that Laurier
in Washington will steal his thunder.
Two Britishers of a kind.
Another reverse of the British in the
Madian valley postpones the day of
their triumph.
Nearly all of the tribes in Northwest
India have surrendered but the Af-
fridis continue to fight.
Uncle Sam will be found prepared for
war in time of peace after a while.
His head is horizontal.
Spain swears good will toward the
United States and United States ac-
cepts but gets ready for emergencies.
Blanco tells with a flourish of trum-
pets what he has done to relieve star-
vation in Cuba.
To sentence a man to hang two days
after date of sentence is a little sud-
den but it Is humane.
Greenville Rifles did the safety act
for Rapist Moss and Texas Is saved
the notoriety of another lynching.
That occupation tax does not suit
the complexion of the Brazos valley
Ax-tors. No tax does.
Texas reports a slight decrease in the
number of her convicts. Still there
is room to drop.
That Seguin incident should empha-
size the fact that a woman should let
hubby's letters alone.
Sherman and Denison will soon visit
each other and take afternoon tea by
electric car line.
Cold Cure cures colds tn the head colds on th«
lung% old colds new colds and obstinate colds and
UI Tomis of grip. Stops hmezing discharges from
the nose and eyes prevents catarrh diphtheria
pneumonia and all throat and lung troubles. These
pleasant little pellets are absolutely harmless have

less. The Munyon Remedy Company prepare a
separate cure for each disease. At all druggiste—-

WHY DO NOT FARMERS PROSPER?
The man who asks why do not
farmers prosper? need not wait long
shivering in the norther for an ans-
wer. The farmer does prosper where-
ever he has intelligently diversified
his frops so as to diversify his re-
ceipts from his labor and his invest-
ments in his soil. The wheat and corn
men as well as the apple and pota-
to men join hands with the cattle
and sheep men in singing the praise
of prosperity. No wise gambler stakes
his all on one card or throw and no
wise farmer puts all of his year’s re-
turns in pawn to one particular crop.
Politics has nothing to do with it.
The fool talk about the currency be-
ing the cause of the farmers’ lack of
prosperity might as well be whistled
down the wind. There is the same cur-
rency now that there was two years
ago when all the United States were
crying out against the hard times.
Texas cattlemen are handling the same
kind of cash today that they were
when calves were not counted in a
cattle sale and today these calves are
worth $l5 a head and the catlemen are
picking them up at that price where-
ever they can find them. Conditions
have changed in the revenue quarter
and confidence is restored in the fi-
nances of the country. Gold is coming
in instead of going out and bonds are
not issued in the time of peace to car-
ry on the business of the country.
Legislation has taken the saddle off
the British nag and put it on the
American horse. American labor and
trade and industry and production are
not handicapped in the interest of
the foreign labor and industry and pro-
duction and the wave of prosperity
flows toward our shores instead of
from them. Cotton will be the last to
feel the stimulus that has been given
to all else»because cotton is the pro-
duct of the free trade regions and the
fixing of Its values is in free trade
hands. When free trade Liverpool
ceases to place a tag on all southern
cotton then the southern cotton grower
can calculate a little more accurately
what his cotton is going to bring him
When the American cotton spinnners
take the American cotton crop and
make it into cloth for the markets of
the world then America will fix the
prices of her own cotton bales and the
prosperity that attaches to other agri-
cultural pursuits will not forsake the
cotton fields as it seems to have done
this year. Live and learn. There is
a good time coming for the cotton
farmer as well as for the others but
it will only come in its fullness when
the cotton mill takes the cotton bale
right at home and turns it into man-
ufactured product. It is only a ques.
tion of a little time and this also will
be accomplished.
Canada has no claim upon the Unit-
ed States for a single thing other than
is mentioned in the bond. Her whole
course as to the United States has been
marked by the most selfish and aro-
gant spirit and now she comes unin-
vited to Washington to try and force
her own ideas of reciprocity and seal
destruction upon the government of
this country principally because such
a reciprocity treaty would cover pre-
mier Laurier with laurels. There Is
not one advantage that it is in the
power of Canada to give the United
States through a reciprocity treaty be-
cause this country grows just what
Canada does and to grant her reci-
procity would be to open the more val-
uable markets of this country to Can-
adian trade without any adequate re-
turn. Some lumber and a few fish are
all that Canada has to offer us that we
do not already possess in sufficient
abundance to more than stock our own
markets. Better leave Canada out in
the cold and let her carry her surplus
to Great Britain and the monarchies of
the old world. U. S. does not want it.
The mine owners of Illinois are only
courting danger of the worst kind in
their attempt to man their works with
Chinese protected by the. muzzle load-
ers of deputies and detectives. There
will be an uprising of all the white
mine labor of the country against such
an innovation. The movement is di-
rectly contrary to what the Congress
of the country has decreed as to the
status of these heathens and some dL
rect prohibition of this attempt should
be made by competent authority. There
is not force enough tn Illinois to guard
the mines worked by Chinese. Let the
conflict once come and American cit-
izens be shot down by these leprous
curs and there will be such a reckon-
ing with the heathen that there will
be no need for Uncle Sam deporting
them.
Now that the New York election is
over and the results are apparent it
is also apparent that Chairman Qulgg
of the county committee is to be made
the Platt scapegoat. He will never
bear away Into the wilderness the sins
of the Tioga statesman. They are too
many and burdensome.
The silver issue was not burled this
year or last but the patient is wob-
bling on his pins.
Turkey is strutlng all around the
barn yard and shaking her wattles in
the fact of the British lion. She Is em-
boldened by late events in Europe par-
ticularly by the countenance that she
has received from Germany to treat
the British people and the nation at
large with that which borders so near-
ly on contempt that it is galling to
British pride. She repudiates her com-
mercial agreements with England and
when remonstrated with refuses any
explanation continuing in the old un-
satisfactory way. John Bull is not go-
ing to stand this for long and again
the peace of Europe may be threatened
by the cantankerousness of the sick
man who lives at Constantinople.
There will be no message to congress
of these later years that will be looked
for with greater interest than that
which will be sent to congress early
this December. The three great ques-
tions of Hawaiian annexation the re-
formation of the currency Cuban re-
lations will be dealt with in that in-
strument and the directness of the
presidential mind may be accepted as
affording good ground for believing
that there will be no dodging the is-
sue. There may be no end of guesses
as to what |he recommendation will
be but it will fe better to wait and
read them. z
It is thought that Gorman’s mantle
in the U. S. senate may fall upon Post
Master General Gary. There will be a
scramble for the place and no end of
candidates. Senator Wellington will no
doubt have something to say in the
premises and his suport will go to Mr.
Gary if he desires the honor and if
not then to Gov. Lowndes. Mudd is a
candidate and has strength enough to
prevent the nomination of another
even if he is not strong enough to
make the race himself.
Shut down or decliine in wages is
what is staring the Fall River mills in
the face. There is not much danger
of a shut down as the product thera
does no longer control the market and
if the mills are closed the new mills
that are starting in the south will do
the business. This is understood in
New England and a reduction of wages
will probably be decided upon.
There seems to have been a precon-
certed arrangement between Senor Ro-
mero Blodero and Weyler as to that
speech made by the former in which
he seems to have electrified Spain and
raised no end of enthusiasm for Wey-
ler. The troubles of Sagasta did not
end when he recalled the butcher from
his bloody work in; Cuba. If Sagasta
does not have Weyler’s scalp Weyler
will take his.
Croker has gone south for rest and
to get rid of his New York surround-
ings. He wishes to meditate in private
over the situation and determine what
he will do with Van Wyck the who-
is-he.
There has been no change in the sit-
uation in Ohio since it was authorita-
tively stated that Hanna would have
five majority in the next state Legis-
lature in the ballot for United States
senator.
Those who expect any jingoism in
the coming message on Cuba will be
disappointed. The president is a con-
servative in action particularly in
dealing with foreign questions.
There is in course of preparation a
new biography of Queen Victoria.
About all that could be said regarding
her seems to be already spoken or
written. The work appaers to be su-
perfluous.
Wherever Bryan spoke in Ohio the
Democratic vote was less than it was
in the election of the presidential year.
This does not signify a Bryan sweep
of the chess board In the year 1990.
Name is greater than principle. This
is exemplified in the manner in which
old ideas of currency are dropped by
Democratic journals and candidates in
order to be all around Democratic.
Honest Dick Bland sees no encour-
agement to the free silverites in the
late election. This is because Uncle
Dick is honest and wil not He even to
himself.
There will be more talk of war at
home in Spain within the next three
months than there will be of war with
the United States. Sedition at home is
growing more and more bold dally.
Something new on the tapis when an
English divine of the established
church comes out upon football as one
of the chosen agencies of the devil to
lure young men to destruction spirit-
ually.
Alcohol habit is stated to be cured
by an inordinate eating of apples.
Perhaps the cider in the apples sup-
plies the place of the spirit and thus
the cravings of the patient are satis-
fied.
Weyler is suspected of being a Carl-
ist in disguise and the maner in which
his coming to Spain is being heralded
by the Carlists and his reception ar-
ranged by them gives color to the re-
port.
Some of these days some of these
Central American states despairing of
any release from their eternally recur-
ring revolutions will ask the protec-
torate of the United States over them
then others seeing the benenfit of such
a protectorate will follow suit and so
order come out of chaos.

his name either in Europe or America.
His escapades here in the United
States and his Ignominiously backing
out in Paris are not creditable to his
family.
Wolcott has closed his lips with a
padlock on all that concerns his Euro-
pean mission and thrown the key
away.
Peru comes up smilingly and otters
to enter into reciprocity treaty with
the United States. Our Uncle Sam
will receive her gallantly and ask her
what she has to offer in exchange.
Spain is politely informed that the
United States has spent a great deal of
cold cash and hard work in the at-
tempt to stop filibustering and has no
apology to offer for any failure there-
in.
Mr. Lo soon comes to habits of civil-
ization when he wants to. The treas-
urers of the tribes soon learn the Eng-
lish habit of pocketing the revenues
and letting the treasuries come up mi-
nus.
A name has at last been found for
the "Cleveland kid” and Grover Is not
*in it. The baby carries the name of
his mother’s father Richard Folsom.
He will no doubt be like other presi-
dent’s sons.
Brazil has no easy thing to offer her
president. Dom Pedro knew what
comfort was when he abdicated. He
also knew that people and declared
that they were unequal to the task
of self government.
Those British jockeys kick at the
style of Tod Sloan the American.
They kick at his betting which is not
allowed in an English jockey they kick
at his style and they kick at his win-
ning so many races.
It is all foolishness to attempt to
work that armor plant into Texas.
Texas has not the fuel at prices that
will compete with some of the other
southern states. That she has the
iron everyone knows.
President Diaz shows his good will in
the matter of the pardon of Mac Ste-
wart and will aid his friends in pre-
senting the case to the Legislature of
Chihuahua which alone has the power
to deal with the case. The letter of
the Mexican president is manly and
open and does him credit.
