Nearly 500 men attended the
cattlemen's convention at San An-

Many clergymen are numbered
among the bicycle riders of Hous-
ton, Teias.
Gebmvnv is said to have a flotilla
of 112 topedo boatc. all in service*
able condition.
Barney Gibbs is again being made
the recipient of a very large amount
of notoriety and free advertising.
It's a cold day when Barney gets
left.
Fort Worth is clamoiing for
more factories, although she refuses
to extend a sustaining patronage to
those she already has. Strange,
isn't it?
The Palestine Times announces
that the Fopuli&t party w ill head
their ticket with the name of Maj.
W. O. Hutchison, of San Marcos, as
governor of Texas.
Cot. Geo. C. Bbeckenbidwe, of San
Antonio, is being favorably mention-
ed in connection with the governor-
ship. He is a fine man and would
no doubt make a good governor.
Miss Frankie Nelson won the bi-
cycle race of 38!) miles defeating the
Chicago female champion M iss Bald-
win and other competitois at Madi-
son square garden theatre last week.
The Banner acknowledges rtceipt
of a copy of Guoton's Magazine
published by Political Scienco Pub-
lishing company Union Square, N.
Y., containing an article on the
philosophy of the Monroe Doctiine.
Mb. J. C. Bill, of Cordesville, S.
C , has raised the coffee plant with
such succesr that he seemed about
a bushel of berries from his place on

good flavor, end is pronounced by
experts superior to the Iiio grade.
•The Houston Turn Veroin gave a
grand dress ball at their lull last
Tuesday night in commemoration of
its 42d anniversary. This society
was organized 42 years ago with a
membership of 14, which has steadily
grown until it now carrics 327 names
on its roll.
The Fort Worth Gazette con-
siders the action of gold democrats
in the Kentucky legislature in bolt-
ing the nomination of Blackburn for
penator is further notice of the des-
perate purpose of the (ail to wag
the dog. But the deg has his
dander up, and the issue of the con-
test ie not doubtful.
The Yoakum Times states that
the situ t on in the Eleventh cons
gressional d strict to which a goodly
portion of Yoakum belongs, is still
unchanged as far as congressional
possibilities are concerned, atd the
fellow who will fill Crain's shoeB
does not yet loom up on the po-
litical horizon like a ship in the fcg.
A great many people in this coun-
try, says the Fort Worth Mail-Tele-
gram, believe that they were born
for the especial purpose of filling an
office of some kind, and a great por-
tion of their time is put in trying to
get into office. If they were as
energetic in attempting to make a
success of some legitimate business
as tbey are in trying to get the
office, they would fare better and
bare more to leave their children
when they die.
According to the Fort Worth Ga-
zette the coal area of Texas is esti
mated at 4500 square miles, and the
output for 1895 was about 550,000
tons, almost double that of 1893.
Texas has all the coal necessary to
furnish motive power for mills and
factories in every town and city from
the Sabine to the Bio Grande. A
proper spirit of push and enterprise
among her citizens would make
Texas the manufacturing state of
the South.
Tve Denison Herald states that
the Chemical National bank of New
York, the eolidest bank in America,
baa broken away from the Morgtn
syndicate, which is trying to corner
all the gold in sight to make a popu-
lar lo«^ impossible. The action of
tbis great institution is taken to be
an indication that the loan will be a
•access, as its subscription is three
millions and two other institutions
representing nne millions more are
said to be preparing to follow.
FELONS OF THt 400-
The editor of the Fort Worth
Gazette charges that the tories
of Wall street who did their utter-
most to discredit in tbe view of the
world at large tbe late reassertion
by President Cleveland of the Mon
roe doctrine are now prating loudly
about their devotion to national
honor. They insist that it must be
preserved at any cost—that is to
say, no matter how man^ bond
issues may be required, and what
the rate of interest may be. With-
out bond issues at frequent intervals
they assure us. tho nation's honor iB
gone. Tbe treasury is overflowing
with assets. It has been packed
with greenbacks and coin notes un-
til the gamblers find it difficult to
lay their bands on the government's
obligations with which to carry on
their scheme of plunder. Yet rich
as it is in currency tho equal of the
best afloat in any land, Wall street
says that confidence in its stability
is wariinsz,. .and that more bonds
must be issued to protect its name.
They, of course, expect to get tho
bonds. Mr. Cleveland has already
confessed in a moment of pique the
part the olcl syndicate is playicg
with reference to the new bond
issuo. And after they have absorb-
ed this issue, their regard for the
national honor will lead them to call
for more.
Protestations of patriotism from
plunderers of the treasury tend to
ajgiuent the nation's wrath. It is
noteworthy that when the nation's
honor and dignity were really at
stake, when every instinct of national
pride demanded that the American
citizen should hold up the hands of
the president, Wall street with vir-
tual unanimity turned upon him,
forgetting in a moment his past ser-
vices in its behalf, and joined with
foreign critics in heaping epithets
upon his head. They cared nothing
for the Monroe doctrine, nor for
British rights in South America but
they were greatly concerned about
the fate of stock-jobbing operations
which weio affected by the policy of
tho president.
Of such material are tho desperate
gambleis who have assumed to
them9el«s the special guardianship
of the nation's honor. There ought
to 1>3 no place for them in legitimate
business, and no countenance for
t'liem among honest men. With
them it is not a question of stand-
ards, but of 83lf, and when interest
deumuds they will bo prompt enough
to change thoir politics.
The conscientious advocates of
monometallism—and there aro many
of them—ought to take the lead in
scourging those leeches from the
temple. Their occupation should
bo made unlawful, and when they
plot disaster to tbe business inter-
ests of tho country for the sake of
feasting upon the remains, their
punishment should fit tho crime.
* ♦ ♦
TuEFort Worth Gazette claims
to have all along contended that the
treasury estimates as to the amount
of gold in this country are largely
excessive. The St. Louis Globe
Democrat in an editorial endorsing
the latest bond proposal of the ad
ministration says: "Comparatively
speaking, tbe people have no gold
to exchange for $20 bonds or for
any other purpose. Almost all tbe
gold which is in the country outside
of the treajury iB in the bauks and
trust companies. The tables, official
or other, which place the aggregate
amount of gold in the country at
over §000,000,000, and which, after
deducting the amount in the treas-
ury and in the banks out of this
total, assume that there must be
between $300,000,000 and $350,000,-
000 in the people's hands are un-
questionably wide of tbe mark.
Speculators in these days may hoard
gold, but the people do not."
In the Beginning
01 a new year, wben the winter season ot
close confinement is only half gone, many
find that their health begins to break down,
that the least exposure threatens sickness. It
is then as weil as at all other times, and with
people even in good health, that the follow-
ing facts should be remembered, namely:
that Hood's Sarsaparilla leads everything in
the way of medicine?; that it accomplishes
the greatest euros in the world; has the larg-
est sale in the world, and requires the larg-
est building in the world devoted exclusively
10 the preparation of the proprietary medi
cine Does not this conclusively prove, if
you are sick, that Hood's Sarsupurilla is the
medicine for vou ta take?
The Yoakum Graphic exultingly
exclaims; ''Thousands of head of
6heep and fat cattle will noon begin
to move toward the northern mark-
ets and in exchange therefor thous
ands of dollars will begin to roll
Texas-ward. Every branch of busi«
ness will feal tbe benefits in the
north as well as the south."

HOARDINC THE GREENBACKS.
Hon. Claude A. SwansoD, of Vir-
ginia, delivered a speech in tho
House a few days ago in opposition
to the proposed republican bond
bill, denouncing the action of Mr.
Carlisle for holdipg the greenbacks
in the treasury after they have been
redeemed, thus absolutely with-
drawing tbem from circulation,
which course be charges Mr. Cat-
lisle with pursuing for the past ytar
—the treasury now holding a fund
of $117,000,000 of greenbacks and
treasury notes which are practically
withdrawn from circulation. There-
fore, tho criticism which Mr. Swan-
son applies to tho republican plan to
make tbe withdrawal of the green
backs a matter of law, may lie ap
plied much more forcibly to Mr.
Carlisle, who is hoarding tbe green
backs and treasury notes without
law or reason.
Not only is the currency in this
way undergoing a constant con
traction—a contraction that is bound
to result in further sacrifices of the
people's interests—but Mr. Cleve
land is at tbis moment actually en>
gaged in buying money and paying
a heavy premuim for it, when be
has in tho treasury not only the
§117,000.000 in lpgul tenders, but
£.'100,000,000 of silver, and the $50,
000,000 that be might secure by
coining the silver bullion. Iu other
words, Mr. Cleveland is running the
country deeper and deeper into
debt and paying a high premium
for money when the treasury has on
hand in available funds $227,000,<
000!
Whether this reckless mismanage
ment of the people's finances is duo
to ignorance or to audacity we
neither know nor care. The result
is the same so far as the peoplo are
concerned. They are the victims of
sheer robbery, and the infamy of it
is that the same policy that is inn
niiig the government deeper into
debt will operate to still further
wreck their prosperity.
a sensible recorder-
In Montgomery, Ala., on Chiist-
mas Day several young men of good
social position resisted and overawed
the police.
Cases were made cgainst them,
and the recorder in passing sen-
tence said ;
"No offense can bo more danger-
ous iu its influence, uioro demoraliz
ing in its effect, less excusable or
more unproked ; but in these eases
the evidence shows they resorted to
no violence, tho infliction of no
bodily barm, tho display of no
weapons, nor was even a blow
struck. It is not proper thou that
the limit of the law be imposed in
these cases, whore no greater pen-
alty could be inflicted upon men
who had resorted to great violence
and done great and serious bodily
harm. But I would be too cowardly
and timid to hold this office for a
day, recreant to the duty entrusted
to me aud false to the trust in me
reposed, were I to pass lightly over
this offense und fail to uphold the
dignity of the law, or to impose
upon these offenders such penalties
as are just and proper. The very
intelligence and social and com-
mercial standing of these defendants
make it all the more incumbont upon
them to set an example of good
citizenship to those of less reputo
and in less conspicuous position."
He fined each defendant $25, and
his action was heartily indorsed by
the community.
The recorder made a good point
when lie Baid that the intelligence
and social standing of the parties
made it all the more their duty to
set an example of good citizenship
to those of less repute and less con-
spicuous position.
When judges act in this way they
will make tho law respected by all
classes.
The Plagues of Egypt.
Were mighty bad. Not so serious as thrse
aro nervous troubles, but they are terrible
hurrassing nevertheless. That thorough ner-
vine and tonic, Hosteller's Stomach Bitters,
renders the nerves tranquil and strong, pro-
motes digestion, appetite and sleep, and es-
tablishes hoalth on a Ann and permanent
basis. Nervousness has its most frequent
origin in indigestion and stomach weakness.
This cause of nervous debility is removed by
the Bitters, which impart a healthy tone to
the gastric region, upon the activity of which
the well being of the entire system is largely
dppnndent. This sterling aad timo-honored
medicine also remedies and prevents bilious-
ness, constipation, rheumatic and kidney
complaints and all forms of malarial disease.
Use it regularly.
The bank clearings of Birming*-
ham for the year 1895 were $5,000,-
000 in excess of those of 1893 and
$3,000,000 in excess of thoso of
1894. The figures are as follows :
Clearings for 1893, $15,907,336.75;
1894, $10,810,058.G8; 1895, $20,044,-
293.93. The above figuros show an
in crease for 1895 over 1894 of over
$300,000 per month. This indicates
how business has revived in South-
ern manufacturing centres.

TO
HEART DISEASE, has Its victim at a
disadvantage. Always taught that
heart disease Is incurable, when the
symptoms become well defined, the patient
becomes alarmed and a nervous panic take*
place. But when a sure remedy Is found
and a cure effected, after years of suffering,
there is great rejoicing and desire to "let
tbe whole world know." Mrs. Laura Wlne-
inger, of Selkirk, Kansas, writes; "I desire
to let the whole world know what Dr. Miles'

Dr. Miles' Heart Cure and before I finished

MOHALISTS WHO Ml'1(1)Kit.
At'anu Constitution :
Wo aro out of patience with the
moralists who aro all tho timo try
ing to purify society by murderinj;
somebody.
A few nights ago in Marion
county, Kentucky, a crowd of ro
spcctablo citizens felt so scandal
ized by tbo conduct of a man and a
woman that they surrounded tho
house in which tbe guilty couple
weio asleep and sot fire to tho
plucc and cremated them.
Tho lynchers did this, they
claimed, in the interest of tbe pub
lie morals, and they did not even
take tbo precaution to wear masks
They wore not ashamed of their
work and it never occurred to
thorn that anybody would raise
any serious objection.
in this they soem ta have made
a mistake, for tho Kentucky newe
papers demand their punishment
und the governor proposes to
bring them to justice if possible.
If the authorities go to work in
earnest they will doubtless buo
cccd in convicting these outlaws
and it is to be hoped that they will
bo soveroly punished.
It is absurd for us to protest
against tho Turkish outragos in
Armenia when crimes almostas bac
occur at our own doors. The out-
sido world will never have any
respect for the South or any confi
donco in tbo ability of our people
to maintain peaeo and order so
long as we pormit mobs to take
the law into their own hands.
Tbo moralists who murder their
neighbors on account of some in.
fraction of the social codo are
very dangerous class of citizens.
The man and woman who wero ere.
mated in Kentucky were living to-
gether in adultery, but that is not
an otfonso punishablo with death
\\ hatover the penalty may bo only
the courts havo the right to inflict
it. Every man who took part in
burning these two unfortunatos is
a murderer and should be sont to
tho gallows. Whon moralists pro-
pose to regulato society by com-
mitting murder it is timo for so-
cioty to suppross them.
When Baby was sick, wo gave her Castoria.
When she was a Child, she cried for Castoria.
When she became Miss, she clung to Castoria.
When she had Children, she gave them Castoria.
THE PI ltCUASE Ot' DENMARK'S
ISLANDS.
Tho offer of Denmark to sell to
the United States its West Indian
islands, St. Thomas, Sarta Cruz
and St. John, affords this country
an opportunity to secure a naval
station for the Atlantio squadron,
which now has to depend on the
friendly disposition of foreign
ports in the West Indies, without
unnaturally extending our terri-
tory or acquiring a district wbich
would bo troublesome to govorn.
When Denmark offered to sell tbe
islands in 1868 a vote was taken of
all tho inhabitants entitled to suf-
frage) on the question of annexa-
tion to this country, and, out of
the total of 1266 votes cast, all bat
twenty-two were favorable to it.
There is no cause to believe that
tho people themsolvos have
changed their opinions in this res-
pect since that time, aad there
would be no objections from that
quarter.

Denmark has no trade interests
in the West Indies and the govern-
ment of the islands has been a
heavy expense which she can not
well afford, hence she offers to dis-
poso of them to the United States
for $7,500,000. This country has
vast commercial interests in the
West Indies, and the acquisition
of these islands, separating tbe
Greater from tho Lesser Antilles,
and being oasily accessible from
North, South or Central Ameiica,
woald be a point of great advan-
tage in case of war. They would
afford a basis ot operations against
tbe enemy and enable ns to bettor
defend our own coast, while their
purchaso by any European power
would be in no way desirable for
this government.
