Tuberculosis is in England and
Wales the cause of 14 per cent,
of all male and 13 1-2 of all fe-
male deaths.
It is believed that tho Hon.
Benton McMillan will succeed
the late Isham G. Harris as sen-
ator from Tennessee.

that the West Bay channel at
Galveston will aid materially in
solving the wharfage problem.
An exchange says "Truth is

The Texas Coaster incidentally
remarks: "If editors would print
everything they know, the price
of tar, feathers and ammunition
would go up wonderfully. So
would editors."
The Willis Index says: "The
friends of Joe Sayers are legion,
and the report comes from all
over the State that his political
supporters are becoming more
and more numerous as the time
of the real contest approaches."
Strong hopes are entertained
for tho ultimate pardon and re-
lease from custody of Mac
Stewart, the Confederate Veteran
confined in a dungeon at Parral,
Mexico, charged with the mur-
der of a Mex can policeman eom«
four years ago.
The little Denieon boy who re-
quested Santa Glaus to bring
him an odorless goat displayed
excellent taste us well as consid-
erable originality. The editor
of the Herald who produced the
abQve is evidently trying to rival
"Mary's Little Lamb."
The bandits captured in Ari-
zona on the 16th inst., have been
identified in Tucson by the en-
gineer and brakeman of the train
held up at Steen's Pass as the
men who took charge of the en-
gine. Thoy were sent, under a
strong guard, to Lordsburg,
New Mexico, for final trial.
While the goldites are resort-
ing to all kinds of tricks to mis-
lead and deceive they are con
gtantly prating about national
honor as if they wore the ap
pointed guardians of that price
leas virture. Historical facts
show that they are poorly quali-
fied for custodianship of nation

It is said that the American
Malting Company, of Chicago
baa agreed to put up $00,000,000
^,witb which to purchase the leas-
ing breweries of the country
Its aim is also to embrace En .the
deal the purchaso of all the lead-
ing distilleries, and convert the
whole into one grand trust that
will wield a power second
• to none other in this eountfy.
Congressman Cooper, of
Texas, has introduced in the
House a Joint resolution propos-
ing an amendment to the Consti
gjs tution limiting the tenure of of-
fice of the Supreme and Inferior
Judges of the United StatCB and
making these offices elective or
appointive as Congress by law
may direct. The resolution is a
good one and ought to become a
law.

some people appear not to know
it,—Hallettsville Herald.
No, but after they have given
Up their money, their time and a
lot of good land to some trees not
suited to this plimate the afore-
said people will rear up on their
hind legs and swear by all the
gods at once that this is no fruit
country; whereas, if they plant-
ed trees suited to this climate,
which can only be supplied by
. Texas nurserymen, the chances
are they would raise all the fruit
they want. Northern grown
trees won't do in this country,
but few seem willing to recognize
the fact, until they learn it from
experience.—Karnes County
News.
Moral: Buy your /ruit trees
and shrubbery from the Rose-
dale Nursery, at Brenham, and
secure satisfactory results. Their
trees are acclimated and guaran-
tiee to name. Patronize
industries and
w0dld benefit tex^g.
The Laredo Times claims that
throughout its existence it has
favored the devising of some
means for confining the State
convicts within the penitentiary
walls and at the same time make
them self-supporting, and has
all along advocated the establish-
ing of factories in Texas to
manufacture the raw materials of
the State; hence it affords us
pleasure to reproduce in this
issue tho remarks of Hon. George
W. Glasscock, made in a speech j
at Georgetown on last Saturday.
There is no question, in the j
opinion of the Times, but what
Texas and its people could bo j
greatly benefited by the erection
of large factoriss within walls,
suffiiently large to confine and
employ all of the State convicts
in manufacturing the raw ma-
terials of Texas into cloth, furni- '
ture, etc. It would give an in- i
creased demand for raw cotton,
raw wool, timber, etc., save:
freight both ways, prove profit- ;
able to both the people and the i
State government, render the!
escape of convicts much less j
liable and compete far less with I
the free labor of the State than i
in working convic.a on farm arid j
railroad work. Then the people j
of Texas could wear cloth made |
in Texas of Texas cotton and '
Wool, use furniture made in Tex-
as of Texas wood and it would
keep many millions of dollars
annually from going out of the
State, greatly increasing the
prosperity and happiness of the
people. This proposition will
seem selfish from the standpoint
of tho New England States, but
it will not bo half as selfish as
they are in assisting to have the
general government run in the
interest of Wall street and Eng-
lish capitalists to tho great dis-
advantage of the whole country
and especially of the producing
States. Texas is selfish in adopt-
ing uniform text books for her
public schools at a saving of
$7,500,000 in five years, but tho
Times is much pleased to see tho
manifestation of that kind of
selfishness in Texas, Lot the
good work go on.

Col. Chahley Edwards, the
able Washington correspondent
of the Houston Post, pays Major
Sayers the following noat com-
pliment: " There is no member
of the Texas delegation who has
as many close friends, perhaps,
as Joe Sayers. He is trusted to
a greater extent than any man in
oongress on either side. He is
the hardest worker in congress
and can alwuys be found in his
committee room. He has saved
more money for his country than
any man who has ever been at
the head of the appropriations
committee, and it is positively
refreshing to see how tho repub
lican members of that committee
defer to him on all matters be-
fore the oommittee. They are
loud in their protestations
against his voluntary retirement
from congress and proclaim it a
serious loss to the Nation. Major
Sayers has been in congress
nearly fourteen years, and so
busy has he been and so closely
has he stuck to hie duties that
he has never made a trip to
either New York or Baltimore.
He is essentially a worker and
not a talker. Those are the men
who accomplish results here, and
Texas has as many of tliem as
any State. It is a good thing
for Buffalo Bay^u that Sayers
will be hero this year. It is
largely due to him that that great
enterprise is so far advanced as
it is and I will soon take occasion
to give the history of how that
work was done."

Tom Rans&m, a Tortsorial Artist, Tries to ,
Shave tho Universe With
a Hatchet.
Tom Ranflom, colored, an em-1
ployo of the shaving parlor next j
door to the Central hotel, began
an elaborate celebration of the
Christmas festivities at an early
stag® of the game. He started ;
off brisk enough and while his
jamboree jubilee did not last
long, he made things exceeding-
ly lively for a season. After
gotting thoroughly saturated
with corn juice and other intoxi-
cants he essayed to take in the
city. lie imagined himself the
only barber in tho shaving par-
lor of creation, and possessing
himself of a convenient hatchet
and a blacking brush, he sallied
forth to lather and shave the
universe. The glass windows in
the barber shop wero the first
objects that attracted his atten-
tion. These he demolished on
short order, dealing ea:h pane of
glass a single blow, and at the
same time yelling like a con-
quering Comanche, His next
coup was at Lehmann's old cor-
ner. Horo he tried to shave the
plastering off a brick wall, and
was succeeding admirably when
