COXTRKHESOraO THE
QtEwnox.
Another enthusiastic meeting has
been held in Brazoria count v. at
which the improvement jpf the
mouth of the Brazos river was again
considered. A correspondent writ-
ing about it says over three hundred
persons were in attendance and be-
sides the harbor question the subject
of immigration to the "sugar belt
was discussed and a committee of
citizens wan formed to compile in-
formation for the engineers in
cnargeoi me wor ai me moutn or
i ' . a i iii . I
the river and for
me purpose Of I
collecting matter for the informa
tion of persons desiring to be en-
lightened upon the great alluvial
belt lying between Buffalo Bayou
and Navidad river. A sensible more
was made in the meeting above re-
ferred to when it was decided to
empower a committee to make full
enquiry into and report as to the
amount of live oak timber on and
adjacent to the Brazos river. This
report if a comprehensive one will
snow tnat in tne ionr counties oi
Brazoria Fort Bend Matagorda and
Wharton there is enough ot this val
uable wood to build ships for the
great mercantile nations of the
world for centuries to come aud
that on the Brazos river alone it is so
great as to be inexhaustible for gen
erations to come. A report is also
promised as to the amount of popu-
lation to be benefited by the im-
proveraent of the mouth of the Bra-
zos and the inference may be de-1
ducted therefrom that these people
have but a faint idea of the work re-
ferred to for while they appear to
look upon the question in a limited
sense it really assumes the broad
one that wonld benefit all Texas and
much of the country northwest
ward. Were there 22 feet of water
on the bar at the mouth of
Brazos river there would be no
power which could prevent the es
tablishment there of the greatest
shipping point in the Southwest
and railways would empty the
products of states into great ships
lying safely at anchor in the Brazos.
While these people wonld with their
HARDLY
pnmitive ideas show the number of gistent and unwearying. His efforts

by properly improving the mouth of cer'a and theGerman colonies in set-
the Brazos river they also deter-
mine to report the amount of "sugar
molasses cotton and corn " raised in
their Immediate section. This will
of course be statistical information
but it would bte more to the point to
poiut out in these four counties the
number of acres of land particular-
ly adapted to the growth of sugar
cane and of the other products
named and the vast amount of live
stock that could be induced to come
to deep water for shipment to
foreign countries. These are the
questions that capitalists and immi-
grants would be informed upon and
which the good citizens of the allu
vial belt should comprehend and
make known. There are many
counties in Texas producing crops
largely in excess of the . marketable
productions of these counties but
there is no section on the face of the
globe capable of so vast a produc
tion as these lands adjacent to the
Gulf and extending about sev
enty-live miles up the country along
the waters of the Brazos the Ber
nard and the Colorado rivers all ad
jacent to and immediately tributary
to an improved port at the mouth of I
the Brazos. I
CORNERING THE GENERAL.
General Hancock wn s interviewed!
the other dav. bv a sou ad of woman
.
suffrage seekers Mrs. Blake plied
the screws to him and the general
showed some of the instincts of a
politician by saying to her that the
woman Mitlrage movement was ' a
growing one and that
that tended toward the amelioration
of w oman's condition had his sym
pathy. In the course of conversa-
tion he said that ' women should
be paid equally with men
for the same kind of work
equally well performed ; . and
in reply to Mrs. Slocum's demand
.that they wished a decided expres
sion from ' him as to whether ho
would or would not veto any meas
ure favorable to woman suffrage
that might come before him as pres
ident the General replied that if
such a measure were voted upon by
congress as a constitutional amend
ment it would not come before the
president. If however congress ac-
corded women the right to vote in
the District of Columbia he certain
ly would offer no obstruction. Mrs.
Blake asked if he considered women
"people." "Undoubtedly" replied
the General. ' "He would be a bold
man who would undertake to say
they were not. "Then General
said Mrs. Blake "we ask nothing
more than what you say in your let
ter or acceptance it is only ty a
full vote a free ballot and fair count
that the people can rule in fact as re-
quired by the theory of our govern
ment." "I am perfectly willing
said Gen. Hancock.that you should
say I take my stand on that para
graph in my letter of acceptance.
There were only about twenty
sheriffs out of about "two hundred
in the state making up the sheriff's

Roberts t' tlie first
HOX.'J. Vf. THROCKXORTOV.
The above named eentleman la
prominently spoken of in connee-
Won with the United States senator-
ship. His name is a household word
in Texas and has been honorably
connected with every public meas-
ure looking to the honor welfare or
prosperity of the state for more
I than a quarter of a century. He Is
specially a man of the people plain
open energetic honest and hospita-
ble and known and recognized to
be so. It is not our design to in-
dulge in praise of this man. but
rather tn Uv hofnro .nnr roortr.ru
our
a lew racts ior tne truth or which
we may confidently appeal to the
history of the times and the recol-
lection of hundreds of men who are
well and favorablv known in all
parts of Texas. For ten years Throck-
morton was a member of the legisla-
ture and during this time he stead-
ily adhered to and advocated the
policy of public education and to
him as much as to auv man in the
state are we indebted for our mag
nificent school domain -which if
wiselv managed will provide a vast
fund for the permanent benefit of
our state and people and from
which every child in the state can
obtain a fair English education with
out any further tax on the citizen.
Always the friend of internal im-
provements and development of the
internal resources of the state the
impress of his ideas and his work
is stamped on every railroad that
now penetrates and is penetrating
our almost limitless territory.
His advocacy of the pre-emption
right of settlers on our public do-
main has been notable and success-
ful. His great desire has been and
is now that every citizen shall have
a home and much of his public life
has had this beneficial result as an
object. The protection of the peo
ple on the frontier the beating back
of the border the settlement and
cultivation of lands roamed over bv
Indians and from which they made
incursions resulting in much disas-
ter and ruin to the interior has met
at his hands and from his mind and
energies an advocate vigilant per-
tling the titles to their lands met
with full success and through them
thousands" of families were saved
from exhausting litigation and the
possible if not probable loss of their
homes. This was done by legisla-
tion originated and pressed into
laws by him aided and assist-
ed by noble compeers many
of whom have passed awav.
When war came Throckmorton
shouldered his musket and went to
the field and from the commence'
ment to the ending in one useful
position or another as a soldier he
advocated the enlistment of all our
energies and resources and this by
example in the common defense.
The war ended and found him
though in easv circumstances be
fore without means to support his
family. Much of his means had gone
to the support of the wives and
children of his fellow soldiers. To
this day Throckmorton is known as
charitable 1o the poor and suffering
even to being unjust to himself.
After the war he was made presi
dent ot the constitutional conven
tion and thereafter elected govern-
or and during his administration as
governor his firm stand taken and
upheld for the rights of the people
is Avell known. The events of his
administration are landmarks in the
history of our dark days. His de-
fense of the constitution of the
state the rights of the people the
supremacy of the civil over military
law his fearless expression of opin
ion on these subjects caused his re
moval from' office bv the strong arm
of arbitrary military power. Hi:

He refused He proposed to
obey the constitution and the law
and in consequence was removed
to make way for cormorants high
taxes state police arbitrary arrest
of citizens and declaration of mar
tial law. While Throckmorton was
president of the convention he ap-
plied to Governor Hamilton and to
Gen. Sturgis to release a large num
ber of citizens unlawfully held in
"bull pens' for imaginary crimes Jl'm
plea was so strong his reasons so un
answerable that he induced Gen
Sturgis to go in person to his supe
rior at Galveston and urge the relief
sought. The effort was successful
and these citizens were turned loose.

THE MILLER COTTON HAKVESTRR
The Industrial World and Chm-
inerrial Advertiser tells of a machine
now being constructed iu Chicago
which if what is expected of it by
its in venter and those who know
something of its workings be
correct will revolutionize labor
inthe cotton states bv meeting
demand never before encom
passed by inventive genius.
This machine is the product of me
chanical thought by a citizen of Aus-
tin long and favorably known in
our midst. Here i what our Chi-
cago contemporary says of it :
A machine of recent invention is
now being built in this citv which is
destined to play a most important
part in Southern agriculture.
the machine is a cotton harvester
and is likely to bring about as great
revolution in the production ot
cotton as that produced by the
Whitnev Gin. It is claimed that it
can pick uiobc cotton in one dav
than 25 negroes in the same time. It
is a portable horse-power machine
operated by one man and is calcu-
lated to harvest a row of cotton as
fast as the ordinary gait of a pair of
horses. It is being constructed for
the Miller Cotton Harvester Co. of
ustin Texas and is the invention
of a Southern gentleman who thor-
oughly understands the great diffi-
culties to be overcome bv such a
machine. Much time and money
have been 6pent in experimenting
testing and perfecting this valuable
machine and there is every reason
to believe that it will be a complete
suceess. The demand for this im
portant invention has long been felt
by all producers ot cotton and can
be realized by every one when it is
known that it costs seventv-nve
millions of dollars annually to har
vest the cotton crop ot this country.
The machine is nearly ready for
shipment to Texas where it will be
placed in the field and after a thor
ough trial we shall give full- details
? . . i ; j. i r .
of its workings
in the Industrial
World.
A gentleman of Northern Texas
writes to the Statesman concern
ing the Old Alcalde as follows :
1 expected the uoinination of
Governor Roberts on the first ballot
and still I had some fears that the
diligence used bv some aspirants
and their friends lor months past to
get up sufficient strength to lock the
convention might be successful.
The people I mean the great masses
have reason to congratulate them-
selves that their interests were con-
sulted by their delegates at Dallas.
lexas never had a governor who
equalled Governor Roberts in devo-
tion to the duties' of his position. It
mav be lreelv and frankly said that
the stale never had his superior in
this respect in the executive chair.
11m outcry against him was. chiefly
1 think encouraged bv men who
looked to the promotion of them-
selves rather than to the public in
terest. He has been misrepresented
on the subjected of immigration ed
ucation etc.. hut fortunatelv tor the
people these things have only re-
sulted in arousing them to a full re
alization of what the crafty politi
cians were expecting to accomplish.
and delegates truly represenl
mg popular sentiment were
sent to Dallas whose action en
titles them to the plaudit of -well
done good and faithful servants.''
lhe politicians began their opera
tions to defeat Governor lloberts
early last spring by several careful-
ly' prepared communications to the
Galveston yews one of which was
reputed to have had its origin with
an aspirant for lieutenant-governor
on the Savers ticket lint all such
things the people appear to have
understood and their wishes were
unmistakably brought out bv as
saults and severe criticisms.
At the late annual meeting of
stockholders of the Texas ' and
Pacific Railway Company held in
Philadelphia August 10 it was
shown that there were completed
448 miles of road with 43 miles of
sidings. For the year the transpor
tation receipts are $3589221; ex
penses $1543517; net receipts for
the year $l04o7fi4; passenger re-
ceipts $456054; freight receipts
$2058018. Against the net receipts
there are charged $132740 for inter-
est on the bonded debt and for sink-
ing fund leaving a surplus of $312'
968 to which is added $30113 the
difference between the balance of
the income account and taxes on
lands and interest on old land-grant
bonds; total surplus $343176; assets
outside of railway property and
lands and current liabilities $890-
916; total (labilities $470408; excess
of asset over liabilities $420507.

A Washington" special to the St.
Louis Republican dated August 13
says Senator Wallace of the Demo
cratic committee and Ex-Senator
Dorsey. of the Republicau commit-
tee had reached Washington both
looking sifter party matters.
Each brought for newspaper 'i-oni-
sumption equally cheering reports of
the situation from their different
standpoint. Mr. Iorseyiconfounils
some of the authorities Who haw
said that aii effort wonld be made by
the 'Republicans to capture Xorth
Carolina ami Florida. ? Every
Sonthern State will be Democratic.
said Mr. Dorsey. -that settled.
They will be Democratic either by
casting the most votes for the party
or by the Democrat doing the most
counting. One or the other of the-ie
causes will result in the electoral
vote of everv Southern State being
on' the Hancock and English . side.
The Republican party in the South
will not attempt to do much in the
election. There is no use in iL Very
little if anything will be attempted
by Southern Republicans in tho
next naiirr al election." Senator
Wallace is devoti vSmsclf ' ear
nestly to tie work m IVnnyiyt5ia
with hope ot success.
The Cleburne Chronicle is proba
bly too evere when it says : .
1 Gen. James commanding the Tex
as militia is not entitled to the fur-
ther confidence of the people of the
state. He waa commissioned to au
honorable position by the Governor
and he should have behaved in such
a manner as become the representa
tive of a great state. He of all men.
should have discountenanced law-
leDes Vet he lends himself to a
scheme for bringing war and blood-
shed upon a neighboring and friend-
ly people ne knows that this in one
of the greatest possible crimes vet
he encourages it and takes command
of a band of filibusters. James
brings a stigma upon Texas. He
dishonors the citizen soldiers he as-
sumes to command He should re-
sign and fhen no one would object
to his filibustering his neck into a
Mexican halter a speedilv as mav
be.
The Dallas Time insists that Joe
Sayers is the best man in the whole
anti-Roberts party. It says "he made
a bold honest square tight. -No
hiding sneaking aud dishonorable
advantage ever characterized his
canvass. It is known that Major
Sayers is one of the most chivalrous
of gentlemen. He resorts to noth-
ing that is low or mean and none
know this better than many who
have opposed his advancement to
the position of governor and among
these are his truest friends who
dared not assist in leading the hon-
orable gentleman into a slaughter
pen. the Statesman has never had
aught to say derogatory to the char-
acter or the standing of this esti
mable gentleman.
The Statesman has the highest
concern for the success of the Dem
ocratic party but if in his great wis
dom our county chairman does real-
lv know that it is in the wav of
Democratic success he should brush
it out of the way and supplant it
with a sure enough Democratic
sheet.
The Houston Pout calls for a peo
ple's convention without regard to
differences of opinion on other
questions but united in opposition
to the Roberts policy. The people
have already spoken at Dallas. The
Post means the tricksters and the
soreheads.
The Telephone finds fault with
the platform aud with the party and
with Governor Roberts but "hopes
for the best." It is simply contem
plating its dish of crow and will
soon educate its stomach to the point
of regarding it as a rich repast.
The Statesman will give an epi
tome of the life of these gentlemen
who ask the voters of Travis county
to vote for them.

an hour. . The town was inundated
bv the wa and nearly all its inhabi-
tants left for higher land. The

A passenger named Parks on the
Texas Western railroad became
frightened at a coach jumping the
track and sprang from the car"
which coming in contact with him.
caused hi death. I lad he remained
in the car he would have been unin-
jured. The Galveston board of health
after the State health officer bad fully
examined the condition of affairs at
New Orleans and reported the same
concluded such examination could
be conducted properly only by Gal-
veston authority and two physi-
cians were therefore sent to iuve'st
gate New Orleans. One of thoe
doctors says they were so well
treated in "the Crescent City tbat
they were ashamed to ask anything
of tlie New Orleans people. They
say there is no danger from that
quarter and they smoke fiDe
ha vac a and chew taffy..

for biliousness dyspepsia nervousness

comparable to this wholesome restorative.
