The Spaniards have mined the
harbor at Porto Rica, a« well as
at Havana.
The gold mines in British Col-
umbia are reported to be produc-
ing enormously.
The Democrats carried the
election in Canton, Ohio, M"Kin-
ley's home, last week.
California is now talking of
holding an international Ivxhibi-
tion. Will this fad never end?
It is stated that 0,975,000 bales
of cotton have been marketed at
New Orleans within the past six
months.
Gen. Lee's reception at Wash-
ington City was one of the grand-
est ovations ever tendered an
American citizen.
Tfe flying squadron of the
American navy is ready for act-
ive service and is anxiously
awaiting orders to sail,
Bernabe, the Spanish consul
at Washington, has about des-
paired of a peaceable settlement
of the Spanish-American ques-
tion.
Over 200,000,000 bushels of
corn have been shipped to for-
eign ports to date, which has
caused a gradual advance in
prices. ^ _
Gen. Gomez is preparing to co-
operate with the United States
forces in case of war in an at-
tack on Havana with a force of
30,000 men.
The remains of Miss Frances
E. Willard were cremated at
Graceland Cemetery, Chicago, in
accordance with her expressed
wish and desire.
Gen. Crane did not have time
to prosecute unlawful railway
companies, but Joe Sayers finds
time to stay in Washington and
attend to his duties.
The Waco Telephone insists
that the simple fact of Spain's
agreeing to an armistice is a vir-
tual recognition that war exists
in Cuba and that the Cubans are
beligerents.
It seems to be a foregone con-
clusion that in case of war be-
tween Spain and America that
Spain will not only loose Cuba,
but also Porto Rica, and possibly
the Philippine Islands.
There is a tremendous rush of
cattle from Texas to the range in
Kansas and the Indian territory,
severely taxing the transporta-
tion facilities of the several rail-
way lines reaching that section.
Sayers' managers ought to
have some one ready at all of
Crane's appointments to follow
him, whether he agrees to divide
time or not. Nothing like dis-
cussing certain issues pro and
con.
the refusal of Crane's friends
to divide time with Capt. J. C.
Hutcheson, who desired to repre-
sent Major Sayers at Livingston,
can be considered in no other
light than that,of an evidence of
weakness.
m
Every little Crane organ it the
State is yelping at the heels of
"honest Joe" Sayers, totally ob-
livious of the fact that there are
two other candidates in the field
for governor. Straws show which
way the wind blows!
Ma. George Gould states that
his yacht, Atlanta, and every-
thing that he has will be at the
disposal of the government in
case of war, and that he will be
satisfied with the action of the
president and congress in the
matter.
Strange that McKinley should
use the a&me of General Fitzhugh
Lee, an ex-Confederate, as a
magic word with which to con-
jure a republican congress. Can
it be that Lee has more influ-
ence with congress than McKin-
ley himself?
gen. hehry e. SHELLEY.
In electing Gen. Henry E.
Shelley superintendent of the
Confederate Home, the board has
voiced popular opinion unani-
mously expressed. Not only
that, but the board ha9 made a
judicious selection and conferred
a merited honor.
No man is more familiar with
the administration of the Con-
fed 'rate Home than' Gen.
Shelley. He has been intimately
and actively associated with the
Home from its inception down to
| this good day. Not one move-
! merit towards its accomplishment
I ha- ever been made without the
I di' -'t and efficient aid and in-
I sV'ifatiori of vieri. Shelley. We
| do not hesitate to say that but
j fop the active co-operation of
lileti. Shelley the Home would
' never have had an existence,
j When others of the John B. Hood
Camp of Confederate Veterans
j quailed before the magnitude of
the enterprise compared to its
small resources and when it ap-
peared to be utterly impossible
to accomplish the object, Gen.
Shelley never weakened in hope
or individual endeavor.
When it was proposed to turn
the Home over to the state, there
wa° strong opposition to it in the
John B. Hood camp, but Gen.
Shelley was the most earnest ad-
vocate. He wrote the bill and
nu: ed it almost unaided until he
su' ceded in getting it through
the legislature, and he has been
active in its: management ever
sin^e. We do not claim all the
:glo>y of this enterprise for him,
for there were others who did
very efficient work in its behalf,
but we believe all will agree that
Gen. Shelley has been its main-
stay throughout.
There is another reason, more
important than all others, why
the board has acted wisely. Any
body of old men when thrown
together are whimsical and hard
to please. Henry Shelley is one
of the kindest and gentlest of
men, unselfish and with the
highest sense of justice to all his
kind, with sufficient firmness but
not irritable, and added to all
this ho loves all men who fought
for the Confederacy. It is a dif-
ficult place to fill, but we know
of no one more fitted for it by
nature and more capable of fill-
ing it. He is a brave, tender,
noble gentleman in the very
highest senso of tho word. There
is no one so meek or lowly that
w II fail to receive from
Henry Shelley perfect justice,
tempered with the mercy of a
woman. The board and tho old
Confederate veterans are to bo
congratulated upon this most ad-
mirable selection of a superinten-
dent, and the Statesman most
earnestly congratulates both the
board and inmates of the Home
on his selection.—Austin States-
men.
NEW YORK STORE.

The total sales of beer in the
United States during tho revenue
year 1897 amounted to 34,423,094
barrels, about half a barrel for
every man, woman and child.
Yet this amount shows a net de-
crease, compared with 1896, of
1,402,999 barrels.
Those Spanish dons who jeered
and hissed at Gen. Lee when he
left Havana will likely change
their course of conduct whon they
observe "old glory" floating
from the liberty pole at Moro
Castle, with Gen. Lee as chief
commander of the army of occu-
pation.
According to a statement re-
cently published by the New
York Comptroller, 107 estates of
deceased persons were appraised
at §215,801,000 last year, while
the assessed value of the same
estates for taxation had been
only $3,471,413. It appears,
therefore, that direct taxes were
paid on a much larger portion.
For instance, much of this wealth
was in the form of stocks and
bonds of corporations, and some
of the tangible property of these
corporations was assessed for
taxation wherever it happened to
be. But, allowing a wide margin
for takes of this sort, it yet re-
mains true that a very large
portion of porsonal property held
by wealthy persons pays no tax
at all.

CATHER & BUSTER. Brenham, Tex.
Spain has been a little tardy in
learning that Americans are a
very positive set of people, and
are in the habit of insisting on a
strict compliance with their de-
mands in matters diplomatic, but
it is hoped the lesson will prove
beneficial to her boasted pride
and patriotism.
■-—«—♦ ♦ . —
It is charged that Gen. Blanco's
armistice proclamation will have
no effect on the situation in Cuba,
further than allowing tho insur-
gents to occupy a larger area of
territory, while affording him an
excuse for withdrawing troops
from the country and concentrat-
ing them in Havana, thereby
enabling the Spanish forces to
put up a stubborn resistance in
case Havana is attacked by
either land or sea.
A Berlin dispatch of the 12th
inst., states that the Columbia
and Normania, of the Hamburg-
American line, have not been
purchased by Spain. Tho presi-
dent of the company says these
vessels wore purchased along
with the Spree and the Saale of
the North German Lloyd line for
9,000,000 marks by a London
firm. Accounts are conflicting
as to the real sale of them, but it
is believed tho Columbia and
Normania have been resold to the
United States.
