BRENHAM DAILY BANNER
J. O. BAOTCIN, Proprietor.
Fridday Morn lug, September 14.
A treaty has been established be-
tween Corea and Japan.
WHAT
dom
A reward of $500 each is offered
for the conviction of the Cash lynch-
ers.
In the war between China and Ja*
pan up to date the Japs have had
the best of it.
THE NEW TARIFF BILL
FOR THK PEOPLE.
It repeals the bounty upon sugar
authorized to be paid by the Mc
Kinley law, and thus relieves the
people from ^'burdensome tax,
which for fiscal year 1894
amounte<Ho $13.073,979.01.
It transfers from the dutiable list
of the McKinley law to the free list
no less than one hundred and six
items which are now heavily bm>
dened by taxation. Among these
important items free^listed may be
mentioned lumber, wood, copper,
salt, hemp, binding-twine, cotton
Chairman Dudley has ruled that j burlaps, grain bags, plows, reapers,
he has no right to appoint another j harvesters, mowers, thrashing ma*
chairman in the 13th District. j chines, and other agricultural im-
... j plements.
Seven classes of goods are re*
duced from 75 to 100 per cent below
the McKinley law; one hundred and
twelve classes, including woolen
goods, from 50 to 75 per cent below
the McKinley law; three hundred
and seventy classes from 20 to 50
per cent below that law, and two
hundred and thirty-eight classes
are reduced almost 25 per cent be-
low the existing law. The rates
under existing law remain unchanged
as to eighty-two classes of goods,
and are increased as to fifty-three
classes. The items of increase in-
clude some articles of luxury, suoh
as diamonds and other precious
stones.
Jackson has shown the white
feather by refusing to sign the ar-
ticles of agreement to fight Corbett.
Having bought our immense stock at NEW TARIFF PRICE, they will be sold
ancordingly. We offer this season the largest and finest stock that has ever ben shown
in Brenham.
Fid Has Goods at lew
The Waco Cotton Palace is near-
ing completion, and will be one of
the biggest drawing cards Texas
has this year.
"Figures will not lie,'' but a vig-
orous populist orator and statesman
can so mix them together as to
make them cover up a big lot of
untruth. •
The Luxow committee investiga
tion in New York have found testi-
mony showing that the police had
protected green goods men and
shared in the profits.
If Breckinridge is re-elected he
will owe everything to his faithful
wife, except the $15,000 he will owe
to Madeline Pollard and the smaller
sums he will owe to other creditors.
Mr. Culberson will open his cam-
paign at Goliad on the 22nd and if
he makes any rash promises there
the battle cry heard on San Jacinto's
field may become the campaign
slogan. "Remember Goliad."
Pullman might have demonstrated
to himself the absurdity of his ways
by raising the rents of his tenants
because of the hard times and keep-
ing their wages stationary. This
would have produced the same
effect.
in
The proposition to oede to the
various States the arid government
land within their boarders was de*
feated by a majoritj- vote in the Ir-
rigation Congress, and government
aid will be asked to prosecute the
work of irrigation.
Premier Rosebebry has a cure for
insomnia. He drinks a glass of hot
water every night before retiring.
Considering the hot water the noble
Lord has been in recently, it is pro-
bably a case where "the hair of the
dog is good for the bite."
The Chinese have an original
though drastrac method of deter-
mining whether the Japanese cap-
tured in Chinese territory are spies
or not. If the Japs have heads on
.their shoulders they are spies.
Then John prooeeds to lop off the
heads.
Col. Cockrell and Judge Dean
will run a scrub race for Congress
in the 13th district, the convention
having failed to make a nomination.
This is very dangerous to the Demo-
cratic party. If the Republicans
and Populists should combine they
will elect a congressman.
Ida Wells has succeeded in get-
ting a committee of visionary En-
glish to come over hereto investi-
gate the lynchings she has been lec-

The salt product of Texas for
1893 was 126,000 barrels, worth
$110,267. It was graded as "com-
mon fine," and included table, dairy
and common coarse. The Texas
salt industry is getting on its feet,
and the great layers of pure salt re
cently prospected by diamond drills
indicate that Texas may easily in
crease her production to a par with
the Onondaga district, which turned
out almost 10,000,000 bushels
1893. The exports of mineral sa
last year amounted to only 5,792,
207 bushels, but when the Texan
salt industry gets fairly under way
a vastly larger amount will be
shipped from the Gulf ports.
And now the Republican press
dubs Senator Jones an "apostate.
An apostate is thus defined: "One
who has forsaken the faith, princi
ciples or party to which he before
adhered." The Senator need no
feel hurt at the epithet. History is
full of apostates whose courage an<
whose deeds made them the people'i
idols. Gladstone is the finest ex
ample of a living apostate.
The latest additi on to the gallery
of interesting rogues hails from
Oklahoma. He was a Postmaster
there, and was arrested for tamper-
ing with registered letters. Here
is his description: A preacher,
town boomer, editor of the loca
paper, Justice of the Peace and a
candidate for the Territorial Legis-
lature.

Watch for our great
ANNOUNCEMENT
in a few days.
j>(ew Tors Democrats are eagerly
watching the constitutional conven
tion at Albany, which is under Re-
publican control, in the hope that
some embryo Senator Gorman or
Senator Hill in the convention will
neutralize the depressing effect
which Senate tariff legislation had
on Democratic hopes of carrying the
State in November.

Speaker CbIsp, ^jrfdon
tnd Congressman Cockran
,ve decided to e. the South
lina campaign in behalf of Sen-
Butler and against Tillman,
ill man has 32 counties out of
his favor, it seemingly will re-
a vast amount of imported
♦ to^efeat him.
Democratic managers want Presi-
dent Cleveland to take the stump in
West Virginia for Congressman
Wilson, whom the republicans are
making heroic efforts to defeat as
the head of the tariff reform ele-
meht. Mr. Cleveland will hardly
yield to such a demand. It would
be a serious defection from presi
dential propriety.
A pew more seasons like jthe one
this fall and Texas farmers will be
the most independent people on
earth. Plenty of eorn insures an
abundance of meat;large crops of cot*
ton, even at low prices gives ample
money to clear up all debts and put
the farmer on a cash basis, which
causes prosperity for all.
IN THE FAR NORTH WEST.
The forest fires in Minnesota and
Wisconsin are simply a repetition
on a larger scale of the disaster in
those states in 1871.
This season the calamity is, per-
haps, ten times more destructive
than the former visitation. Town
after town has been licked up by
the flames, and the loss of life is ap-
palling, while it seems that somej
fifteen counties have been swept
bare.
It is too early to estimate the fi-
nancial loss, but it has not escaped
the attention of our readers that
many eastern investors are among
the heaviest losers. The Cornell
university, for instance, loses about
$1,000,000 by this wholesale des-
truction of timber.
What will be the aftermath? It
is easy to answer the question.
Vast tracts in the northwest will
now become arid land, and the farm-
ers will be unable to make them
productive without resorting to ar-
tificial irrigation. The blizzards of
winter and the cyclones of summer
will have nothing to check or turn
them aside. The evils of drought
will be intensified, and it will be
difficult to produce a quarter crop
of anything.

The Austin Statesman says: Ma
or Hutchinson says that Major
Sayers is "under" his party plat-
orm. Joe Sayers is a pretty strong
>rop under a Democratic platform.
Would that every Democrat in the
country upon whom the platform
rests was as sound and as strong
limber as the gentleman from Bas*
rop.

country from revolution, but the
preservation, indeed, of its unity."
