Mr. Frederick Alotison Handle of

cratic aspirant for presidential honors
In l'JOO.
The term of Gen. Walthall, of
Mississippi, will not expire in the
United States Senate until March
8, 1901. _
The president has sent in to the
Senate the nomination of Frank E.
Lets, to be collector of customs at
Galveston, and Lewis M. lireg, of
Texas, to be consul.
The House of Representatives, by
a vote of 188 to 67, passed the bill
providing for the payment to the
Nashville Methodist South Hook
concern, of its claim of 8288,000 for
war spoliation.
The House committee on Territo-
ries, by a decided majority vote re-
mission of Arizona, New Mexico and
Oklahoma, as stales, at the present
session of Congress.
It is claimed that the United
Stales now have in the watejs wash-
ing the Chinese coast, seven vessels,
the besl in the world of their class,
and amply sufficient for the protec-
tion of American interests, in the
event of trouble.
The Denison liearld is good in
giving difficult conundrums: The
man w ho can tell whether it is Green
or Grant, or guess what is happen-
ing in Cuba, or straighten ou' the
powers on the Chinese question is
entitled to and should receive two
brass button".
We do not claim to know anything
about coffee seeds, but believe it is
more than likely thai fresh, health)
grains of either Hio or Mexican pro-
duct would sprout under proper con-
dition*, and lliat the coffee plant
could be made to grow and produce
abundantly in Bastrop county soil,
and prove a most remunerative in-
dustry. The grains of coffee obtain-
ed from our local grocers may, or
may not posses germinating power,
they may possibly have been dried
by process inimical to life, ami y«;t ,n i
one grain out of a Ijiip'VtamI the
"spark immortal'; ,"n8y Sup-
pose sever^" 'hundred grains are
planted al a <>08l ,,f „ few cents, in a
"•ell fertilir.ed hot bed, and a single
one of them sprouted, and the trans-
planted sprout developed into a
healthy coffee bush or tree, would
not the achievement be most gratify-
ing if nothing more than nn ornamen-
tal tree ever came of it? And if
among its dark foliage the red, cherry
like berries appeared, each contain-
ing several grains of coffee, would
you not feel like a conquering hero,
and realize that you had fallen upon
a new and grand industry ?
Try the experiment, it will cost
little in time or money, and remem-
ber that in Brazil, Mexico and Hawaii
the coffee planters not many years
ago were mere experimenters.
Whatever the views may be of
those who supported the Teller reso-
lutions in the United States Senate,
says the Aberdeen Kxaminer, the re-
sult of the vote will he construed by
the country and the world as a de-
cided and emphatic declaration in
fmvr>T r\f lumoUlutM Kit « l«riTo
ity ut that body, and a declaration
by much more than two to one of
the Seriate, that no compact exists,
in law or equity, good faith or honor,
that demands a settlement of the
bonded debt upon terms recognizing
the holders of the interest bearing
debentures of the government as pre-
ferred creditors : and that the gov-
ernment has not outstanding a sin-
gle bond that it cannot in accord-
ance with the letter and spirit of the
contract, and in compliance with the
demando of law and good faith, pay
at its option and convenience in
either gold or silver coin of the coun-
try, provided there is no change in
the coinage laws effecting ratio or
tinoness, between the dates of issue
and maturity.

Judging from the reports from

our next Governor beyond the per-
advent tire of a doubt.—Sinton Sig-

Savers is a man all over. He
does not back down or dodge an

defies the world to prove him rec
reant to his public trust.—(Juanali

State politics were discussed liber-
ally at. Woodville this week. One
man there said he was for Jester for
governor, and when he told the
reason nobody blamed him for it,
but all the rest expressing themselves
said they were for Joe Sayers.—

Hon. Dick Wynne, in his formal
letter setting forth ihe claims lie han
for the Governor's chair, says there
is an office holding trust in Texas
that should be broken up. 1 here
are others who hold to this opinion,
and if something don't happen un
foreseen, the "trust," if you please,
is a goner. The surest way to bring

A story told by Congressman Al-
len, of Mississippi, will perhaps ex-
plain why there is never any let up
to the howling of the populists. He
says one of his neighbors owned n
tlog that howled continually, and he
asked an old negro about the place
what made the dog now! so much.
The negro answered, "Marse Tom,
it's mighty funny you been raised in
de country ami don't know what

He expects Sayers to carry Lamar, j
Fannin and Red River counties in
North Texas, with a line chance in
Hunt, Dallas aud Hill; will carry the
greater part of the Seventh Congres-
sional District; all south ami south-
west Texas, antl that East Texas,
from Texarkana to Heaumont is very
shaky and much of it likely to fall in
the ranks of Sayers. A young men's
Saycr's campaign club will be a fea-
ture of the Dallas contest.
A Mr. Monta J. Moore seems to;
think the democratic party and the
j state and the country are imperilled
by the likelihood that Major Sayers
will be nominated and elected gov-
ernor. We wonder who is Mr.
Monta J. Moore, and what he ever
did for the party, the state or the
country.—The Age.

A Washington telegram of the 6th
says: The burden of expenditures
that the treasury is carrying is well
shown by the statement for Saturday.
Although the receipts aggregated
11,0.18,110 from all sources for the
day, ihe expenditures were 81I'J,#89
in excess. The statement exhibits
an excess of 8'.'7,100 of receipts over
expenditures for the fiscal year. bti|
the deficit is really about 8'18,000,-
000, as the Pacific railroad money is
included in the receipts.
Some of the most etllcient cam-
paign workers iu the state, head llu-
Sayers forces and thorough organiza-
tion is the order all along the line.
Not only are the West and South-
west solid for this Herculean soldier,

is rapidly developing strength in the
