URENHAM DAILY BANNER
JOHN O. RANKIN.
- Editor. Publisher and Proprietor.
W«4aes4ay Morning, Feb. 10, 1897.
The New York World thinks
that if the Republican party can
by any means suppress Hanna
that it will gain much by doing
so.
It now seems to be a foregone
conclusion thut Hanna is not to
be the newly elected senator
from. Ohio, and that this wiley
politician han "reckoned entirely
without his host."
The Banner predicts that cer-
tain politicians will yet learn, to
their sorrow, that this is a coun-
try where the will of the people
is the law of the land.
Whitkcapping in Tennessee is
said to be losing its popularity,
owing to the fact that shooting at
whitecappers is regarded as legal
all the year round in that State.
David Rankin has a farm of
3200 acres in Atkinson county,
Mo. Several hundred acres were
planted in corn and a careful test
showed that it yielded 101 bush-
els to the acre.
The Galveston News is never
so happy as when engaged in
throwing dirt at some prominent
democrat. Speaker Dashield ap-
pears to be the object of its
•©amity just now.
" 11 1 ♦ - ♦ ♦
Tom Reed has applied the
brakes to those erratic congress-
men who appear to be figuring
on jobs having for their object
the raiding of the treasury with
public building bills.
Prominent New York repub-
lican politicians affect to believe
t'nat Chauncey Deptw is slated
for the position of Ambassador to
Great Brittain, and that he will
shortly leave the New York Cen-
tral railway to accept this lucra-
tive appointment.
Spain's offer of home rule to
Cuba is regarded only as a
pretect and a sham by the Cuban
patriots, who decline to accept
any plan of autonomy submitted,
unless the conditions contained
therein are vouched for by the
United States.
State Comptroller Roberts, of
New York, states that $2,500,
000,000 to 83,000,000,000 of per
sonal property in that State es-
eapeV taxation every year, anc
he therefore strongly favors the
passage of a bill providing for an
inheritance tax.
The Houston Post says: "The
men who can find independence
and comfort in the coast country
of South Texas now are those
who are able to establish them-
selves on dairy farms, or truck
farms, or chicken farms or en-
terprises generally of that de-
scription. Climate, soil, cheap
land, end growing markets of
Houston and Galveston all offer
inducements to settlers who will
engage in the business or pur-
suits mentioned."
The Latter Day Saints, or Mor-
mons, have in the United States
about 200,000 church members.
Of these about 125,000 are in
Utah. All over 8 years of age
counted as members, for at that
age they are immersed and re-
ceived into the church. There
are communicants of the Mormon
church in Arizona and California,
in Colorado and Idaho, in Iowa
and Kansas, in Michigan and
Nebraska, in Wyoming and sev-
eral of the states.
A LOHGER TERM.
A writer in the Forum affects
to believe that the primary and
apparently the most prolific cause
of our present political instability
lies more directly in our too
frequent recurring presidentail
elections. Longer continued
periods of uninterrupted business
tranquility are extremely desir-
able, and indeed indispensable,
for the safe development of a
diversified industrial progress.
These conditions can be securely
attained only by increased ex-
emption from unnecessary politi-
cal agitation. This desirable re-
sult can be promoted with the
greatest certainty by extending
the length of the presidential
term. The first and last years of
every national administration are
naturally seasons of political
activity; so that under a term of
four years, barely two years of
quiet can be expected. If the
presidential term were length-
ened to six years of continuous
exemption from political turmoil,
tranquility between the presiden-
tial campaigns could not fail to
be promotive of conditions favor-
able to the conservative develop-
ment of business enterprise in all
departments of business activity.
Supposing the presidential term
to be lengthened to six years as
herein proposed, members of the
house of representatives should
.be elected or a period of three
years. Thus there would be, as
at present, two full terms of con-
gress within the limit of each
presidential term. The official
service of each new congress
should also be made to commence
within a reasonable time of the
election of the members, instead
of being postponed, for the first
regular session for more than a
year following the election as is
now the case. Thus, the voice of
the people, as expressed through
their ballots would become
potent, and receive more prompt
and considerate attention. The
practice of permitting the old
congress to conduct the legisla-
tion of the country for a whole
year after the election of their
successors is a relic of early days
which should speedily be dis-
pensed with.
The Center Champion thinks
the bill introduced in the legisla-
ture creating a commissioner oi!
labor is a move in the righ
direction. Every department o
labor in the south should preserve
statistics of wages paid, hours
worked, cost of living and proba-
bility of employment being secur-
ipd by those depending on certain
kinds of labor for support, if this

learn that there is at least one dreaded disease
that scicnce has been able to cure in all its
stages, and that is catarrh, Hall's Catarrh
Cure is the only positive cure known to the
medical fraternity. Catarrh being a consti-
tutional disease requires a constitutional

The Galveston Tribune charges
Weyler with continuing to wage
a bitter and relentless war on the
women of Cuba. His latest
gallant victory was in securing
the arrest of the wives and moth-
ers of insurgent leaders and
lodging them in the Havana jail.
Fighting women and children and
non-combatants seems to be
Weyler's favorite method of sup-
pressing the rebellion.

As an example of what this soil
and climate can produce in the
way of tropical fruit, the Browns-
ville Herald calls attention to
some lemons raised by Mr. Celes
tine Jagon on his famous Esper-
anza plantation. They are the
i'ruit of .some trees which Mr.
Jagon raised from the seed of
lemons imported from Italy, hav-
ing planted the seeds some years
ago. Of these Italian lemons, he
now has fifty bearing trees aver-
aging five hundred lemons to each
tree, and the fruit from them is
in every way superior to the
original lemons imported by Mr.
Jagou, being two or three times
as large as the parent fruit, and
of a most excellent flavor.
Besides these, there are five
hundred other lemon trees grow-
ing at Esperanza, which are as
yet only four years old, but in a
thriving condition and will be
bearing in two or three years.
There are also five hundred
orange trees, some of which are
bearing, producing an excellent
sweet orange, and five hundred
citrons, most of which are bear-
ing, making an excellent fruit
for preserving.
TEXAS ITEMS.
—More hog and hoipiny should
be the motto of our farmers this
year.
—Not less than S10,000 has
been paid out for corn at Kosse
since last October.
—It is said that the sum of
8100,000 has been sent out of
Rusk county during the past six
months for corn and meat alone.
—The first Catholic church or
mission established in Texas was
the mission of St. John the Bap-
tist, in the wilderness near the
Rio Grande in 1690.
—Hood's Texas Brigade will
hold its annual reunion at Flores-
ville, Wilson county, on June
30th and July 1st, instead of June
23d and 24th, as that is the time
of the grand reunion at Nash-
ville, Tenn.
—The Texas Livestock quaran-
tine regulations become effective
this year between February 15th
and November 15th, and it is ex-
pected that all stockmen will lend
their aid and assistance in its
rigid enforcement.

The Industrial News, in com-
menting upon the Indianapolis
meeting of the bankers, brokers
and corporation attorneys to ex-
change opinions upon a plan to
reform our monetary system,
says: "These financiers desire
to tighten the grip they have on
the throats of the poor suffering
people, and they hope, by their
resolutions and recommendations,
to be able to induce Congress and
the incoming Administration to
aid them in their nefarious
schemes." A middle ground is
perhaps nearer the truth. These
money dealers are intensely self-
ish and will look after their own
interests and profits without con-
sidering how others will be affect-
ed. Their plan for a currency
commission is very ingenious,
and, to the unsuspecting, harm-
less, but it is born of selfishness.
