The proposition for a general dis-
armament of tho European powers
has been suggested again.-
The state press convention will bo
held in Houston nest week. The
country editors will be on hand m
force.
The New York Work! appears to
bo at a very low ebb at present from
a moial standpoint while as a
democratic journal it is way below
par.
Jonxxr O'Biuex. the most notor-
ious republican boss wire-worker
add unprincipled depraved and un
scrupulous politician in New York
City is dead.
The London Globo announces the
birth of twin gorillas at the Zoo re-
cently in that metropolis with the
remark that the Anglo-Saxon race is
richer by tjvo first cousins.
Quite a number of papers which
have other favorites for coventor
heartily endorse General Hogg's
course as attorney-general and are
in favor of his being retained where
he is provided he would accept af-
ter being defeated for the guberna-
torial nomination.
It is to be feared the associated
press reporters are not doing their
duty. The Floresville Chronicle
S3ys that "the detectives have not
arrested Tascott for a couple of
months nor hasSilcott been arrested
since he was last run to earth
in
Oregon. Something wrong some
"where."
Philadelphia Ixqibeb : With one
or two notable exceptions the papers
of New York have sunk to the very
lowest depths of disgraceful journal-
ism. In their zeal to bombard some-
body with mud and to fight each
other with the rjersonalities of the
fish market they have ceased to be-
come newspapers and have degener-
ated into mere scandal-mongers.
Me. Wm. Geeex the republican
candidate for congressman in the
Eighth district has issued an ad
dress from his home in Bellville in
which he solicits the votes of all re-
publicans wcolgrowers brother
members of he farmers' alliance
union laborers members of the
( grange and other labor organiza-
tions. The Colorado Citizen says
his platform seems to be constructed
on one plank a policy to capture
all of the voters opposed to the dem-
ocracy in the district.
Thet will never let Harrison see
-any peace of mind it seems. Henry
0. Lea a prominent Philadelphia
republican has written a letter to
tho president taking him to task for
allowing Quay so much voice in
governmental affairs and says:
You have rewarded the magnificent
majority of 80000 given to you by
Pennsylvania by riveting upon her
the chains of Quayism. You need
not wonder that disaffection is
spreading rapidly throughout her
borders in a manner that may render
oven her allegiance doubtful.
Th was a peculiar victory which
the democratic candidate for mayor
of Milwaukee won. The democrats
wont into the campaign on a plat-
form of opposition to the children hi
tlis public schools being taught in
any other than the English Ian
guage. In proportion to its size-
Milwaukee has a larger foreign pop-
ulation than any city in the United
States most of which is German and
yet the democratic candidate was
elocted by a majority of five thous
and. The result is regarded by
both parties as an American
triumph.
The republicans it is understood
have about decided to admit Utah
and New Mexico into tho union but
of coutse expect to be the gainers by
it. It is proposed to diafianchise
the Mormons of tho former who are i
democrats and therebv make it
publican while it is proposed to ad'
mit New Mexico under a constitution J
provided by a republican convention.
Neiv Mexico is strongly democratic!
but under the proposed constitution
a. majority of the first legislature
elected would be republican and
fhus two United states senators
would be gained.

Every now and then it is given
out from the national capital that
the United States congress will in
all probability conclude its labors
and adjourn at an early date in June.
The prospects aie however that
tho question of adjournment will
furnish the occasion for the first
heated disagreement of the republi-
can members of congress among
themselves. Considerable feeling
has already been stirred up in the
matter of adjournment. The auto-
crat of the house of representatives
and his sattelites favor an early ad-
journment not later than some time
in June and by tho first day of the
month if it can be so arianged. On
the other hand there is a republican
cliquo in tho senate which is op
posed to adjournment. This faction
is led by that old granny George
Frisbie Hoar who thinks that con-
gress can find plenty of legislation
to busy itself with until the early
autumn at least. Should congiets
fix upon June 1st the date selected
by Speaker Reed on which to ad-
journ the Massachusetts senator
thinks that there will be much hurry
and confusion but little delibera
tion and many things overlooked
neglected or "slighted. But this
from a partisan standpoint. The
senator for instance thinks tnat the
congress should be held together
until every possible scheme that has
been or may be suggested to fur-
ther the interests of the republican
paity with the view of perpetuating
its lease of power snail rme been
fully and exhaustively discussed.
Congress should not adjourn until
the proposed federal election law
shall have been imposed on the peo-
ple or at least a desperate effort to
do so has been made. There are
numerous other schemes of aggran-
dizement and proposed conspiracies
against the fundamental law and
constitution of the country which
could bo looked after. It doesn't
matter that there is no pressing bus-
iness in which the country at large
is concerned that needs attention.
If there is no business before the
house it can make hay while the sun
shines and relieve the tedium of do-
ing nothing by occasionally count
ing out a democratic member ana
putting in a republican while in
both branches of congress the in-
genuity of the republicans can sug
gest business. The feeling which
prompts those republicans who are
opposed to early adjournment in
their course is appreciated. They
doubtless feel that when thev sepa
rate it will mark the last time when
both houses of congress and the
office of chief executive of the na-
tion will be in the control of the g.

riCTITIOUS KAILISOAD VALUES.
It is a well-known saying that
there are tricks in all trades which
arises from the disposition of peo-
ple to acquire enormous profits be
yond what would be regarded as
strictly honest and legitimate. This
disposition to wrongly acquire
wealth is characteristic of artificial
as well as of natural persons and
there are tricks practiced by corpor-
ations "as well as by individuals. In
fact tho art of acquiriug unjust gain
through fraud deception misrepre-
sentation and the tricks of trade is
employed to the greatest advantage
by som9 of the corporations from
the fact that they are soulless we
suppose and are not burdened with
a conscience. One of the tricks of
the railroad people is presented in
such a clear light by Attorney-Gen
eral Hogg in his canvass for the
governorship that there is no possi
ble way of getting around it or fail-
ing to understand it. It is in re-
gard to the practice of watering
stock and putting fictitious bonds in
the market. As an example he cites
the case of a narrow gauge railroad
running from Tyler to the lumber
region and built exclusively by
home capital. The entire cost of
constructing tho road furnishing it
with rolling-stock and all of the
equipments and appurtenances to a
first-class road complete was only
eight thousand dollars per mile.
After constructing and operating
this road for a while the Tyler peo
ple sold it out for exactly what it
cost them to build and equip it. Im-
mediately the new stockholders and
diiectors of tho road watered the
stock of the company and bonded it
for thirty-seven thousand dollars
per mile an increase of twenty-nine
thousand dollars per mile. Any
body with common sense can see
what a great fiaud and swindle this
is and how the public is robbed and
plundered to pay the interest on
these inriated wateied and fictitious
values. The laiiioads justify their
enormous freight charges on the
gi jucd that thev would not be able
to DHV imilllilf I'Mlpnm if flnnnpr
rates "woic imposed. In estimating
the eo-t ol operation the iuteiet ou
tho fictitious bonds is included and
tho difference between the interest
on eight thousand dollars and thiity-
seven thousand dolluis per mile is
wiung out of the pockets of tho
public while bj the simple act of
watering tho stock without a lick of
woik three or four of the chief
ttockholders become millionaires.
Tnc Baxxeu is not the organ self-
constituted or otherwise of any one
of the candidates for governor but
it is interested as an organ and
champion of tho people in seiug a
railroad commission established in
Texas to trottle these conscienceless
plunderers.

It is difiicult nowadays to pick up
a newspaper North or South which
does not give piominence to tho so-
called negro problem or race issue.
And yet there is no more in it than
there ever was and theio is no moie
danger to be'appiehendcd from tho
growing complication of the rela-
tions between tho white people of
the South and the coloied man and
brother than there ever was. We
have simply let our Northern politi-
cal foes force the question into an
unjust and uuduo prominence and
to put us in a false light. We have
suffered ourselves to be put on the
defensive in regard to our treatment
of the negro and have wasted too
much time uselessly in denying
charges of mistreatment of the col-
ored man and in dofending our
course towards him. The Southern
people do not need to justify their
treatment of the negro and the
whole so-called race problem will
have been settled when the negroes
of tins section learn tnat we are
their best and kindest friends and
when the intelligent honest and
fair-minded people of the North
cease to be influenced by the bloody-
shirt fanatics hypocrites and un-
principled politicians who trade on
and make unholy merchandise out
of the color issue. In time the re-
publican party will throw off the
mask when it finds that it can-
not further use the negro for its po-
litical gain and then the colored
people will see who are their friends.
Already the republican organs are be-
ginning to speak up against the ne-
gro and to justify the party for not
according him greater political rec-
ognition on the ground of his inferi-
ority and incapacity although they
have for years past been seeking to
Africanize and to foist negro rule on
the Southern people. The Evans-
ville (Indiana) Journal one of tho
most rabid of republican sheets
which is ever ready to arraign the
white people of this section for the
suppression of tho negro vote justi-
fies the action ot its party for deny-
ing recognition to the colored man
in that state notwithstanding that
without the negro vote the hoosier many places in. a mild way and in
republicans would bo hopelessly in most cases tho demands of the
a minority' by such expressions as!strikeis have been acceded to. In
the following: "o one coiorcu
man out of a hundred is fit to hold
office. They are ignorant through
no fault of their own. Occasionally
you will nnd one ot t!.em who by
means of native talent has risen su
perior to his surroundings but the
great mass of them are not only un-
lettered but in many casos do
graded. No matter how kindly le-
publicans feel toward colored pco
pie they cannot hand the destinies
of the community over to ignorant
rulers. If they do they lose the
confidence of thousands of voters
who are not governed by sentimen-
tal considerations. This country
must be governed by its virtue and
intelligence or it must degenerato
into barbarity." The foregoing is
but another illustration of the fact
that it makes a powerful sight of
difference whoso ox is gored. All
that the Southern people and the
Southern editors will ned to do
hcicafter will be to c-trefii.Iy fcan

in:n:w on the .--olth.
There appears to be on the part
of most of the Southern press a
wrong impression in legard to what
tho Hon. Chauncey M. Depew New-
York's celebrated lailroad lawyer
and post-praudial orator actually
did have to say of this bection when
he returned home lioni his recent
tour through it. Following the pub-
lication of his reputed iutciiiuw he
was inveighed very heauly against
by the newspapers of tho bui... ;ijd
they weio certainly justijui ic
ing; a. certain degree ot uiuu. j ut
his remarks as they weie looted.
No doubt howevei that some prej-
udiced reporter or the manager of
the associated press with tha usual
proneness to do injustice to this
section rather magnified his uncom-
plimentary allusions and kept what
favorable mention he made of us in
the background. Mr. Depew could
not have done otherwise than speak
somewhat to the disparagement of
tho South. It is a peculiarity of the
people of his section. Even those
not politically hostile to us and who
bear no malico or ill feeling towards
us have always been accustomed to
consider that they were moro highly
favored of the Almighty than we
and it takes more than a flying trip
through tho South to iclicie them
of this impression. Mr. Depcw al-
though a man of broad and liberal
views is probably no exception.
And yet it now appears that his 10-
maiks in legard to his trip down in
Dixie land were badlv distorted and
hat ho said vastly much more in
piaiso than otherwise of us. In fact
he appears to have been charmed
wilh tho "Sunny South;" and that
smul. cnilpfvntit-n Mtni-;m. f
Southern rights and Southern scnti-
ments the New Orleans Times-Democrat
in turn appears to be so
tnuoh captivated by his remarks that
it declares "'if Chauncey Depcw
weren't a republican he could not
only break the solid South but he
could make a triumphal march into
the White House on the strength of
his broad and just intelligence his
profound knowledge- of men and
things and the impulses of his gen-
erous nature." Among other good
things said of the South was that it
was the bonanza of tho future; that
all the gieat and sudden opportuni-
ties for wealth or most of them in
tho Northwestern states and Pacific
slope have already been developed
but that "here is a vast country with
the best climate in the world with
conditions of health that are abso-
lutely uupavalleloJ with vast forests
untouched with enoimous veins of
coal and iron which yet have not
known anything beyond their origi-
nal conditions; with soil that under
proper cultivation for little capital
can support a tremendous popula
tion; with conditions ir. the atmos-
phere for comfortable living winter
and summer which exist nowhere
else in the country and that is to be
the attraction for tho young men
who are going out from the North-
ern forms to seek other farms." AH
of this and much more to the same
point. Mr. Depew predicts that
the South will not be settled by for-
eign immigration but by internal
immigration from eur own country
and is to prosper by purely Ameri-
can development.
TIIK PKOMI.SEI) LAItOIi 1JISPLAY.
To-day is the date set apart
months ago for tho proposed big de-
monstration of the laboring men
throughout the world in the interest
of their demand that eight hours
shall constitute a day's work in all
lines of work and that all work per-
formed beyond that time shall be
paid for as extia work. The leaders
and agitators of the workingmen's
organizations have been working as
siduously to accomplish the end
proposed and have marshalled their
lorces and organized them as thor-
oughly as trained soldiers and with
the tact and ingenuity and skill in
many instances of great generals.
In order to get them in fighting
trim as it were and as a kind of
skirmish drill strikes have been pre
cipitated for the past several days in
this way while the wonangnien have
been kept drilling their cause has
been considerably strengthened in
omo quarters by tho successes with
which they hte met in individual
instances. A successful issue in
one case lessens resistance iu anoth-
er and operates as an inducement to
follow the example set iu makiug
concession. But it is hard to tell in
advance what the result of the
grand orgauized strike throughout
the world arranged to take place to
day will be. In this country how
ever one thing may safely be put
down. Thero will be no violence
and bloodshed and the worst to be
feared is the temporary paralysis
which will be visited on trade. A
few sensational nowspapers have
predicted all manner of evil as a re-
sult of tho promised strike and it is
estimated by some that not less
than three hundred thousand work
inginen will join in the procession at
Chicago. It is our opinion that if
there should be any serious distur
bances or bloodshed growing out of
to-day's denomstratious they will be
only sporadic cases where the more
violent wild-eyed and visionary of
tho socialistic cranks will feel em-
boldened by tho weakness shown
and the fear expressed by the class
of newspapers alluded to to commit
violence on the impulse and inspira-
tion of the moment. Over in the
old country there is considerably
more danger of bloodshed than in
this especially in France and Ger-
many. Proclamations have been is-
sued by the powers that bo prohibit-
ing the street processions and the
troops have been put in readiness to
suppress them at a moment's notice.
It is said that the German working
people havo become very demonstra-
te o of late and hao declared their
intention to parado at all events.
Not long ago this paper published a
short opinion of a German fellow-
citizen of Brenham on politics in
Germany iu which ho said that while
the young emperor was a friend of
the workmgmen they wore no
friends of his and that his liberal
policy toward them would work his
ruin. And now it is said that instead
of being grateful to him for the liber-
al course pursued instrikingcontrast
to the policy of Bismarck they havo
become bolder and regard his action
as an evidence of weakness on the
part of tho imperial government.
Tho uov.-s from Europe and America
in to-morrow morning's papers and
successive issues will no doubt fur-
nish interesting reading whatever
may bo tho outcome of the big de-
monstration. The Brenham Field Artillery have
accepted the iuvitation to attend the
Bellville maifest ou next Wednes-
day nnd a special train will be sent
up to coinoy them down. Tho
Light Guaid Land will also attend
the fest.
HOW TO CUKK GLAN-DK1SS.
A Gentleman from New Mexico Cites
Some Suggestion.
The subjoined letter received by
the Bixxeb on Tuesday is self-explanatory.
The writer of it lives in
Deniing New Mexico. Ho proba-
bly does not know a soul in this city
or county and is not pecuniarily or
otherwiso interested here. Ho is
thereforo to bo regarded in the light
of a xihilanthropist and public bene-
factor for taking tho trouble to
writo here giving the benefit of his
experience. The letter is addressed
to "Tho Editor ot the Brenham Pa-
per" and reads as follows :
I saw in the Lampasas Dispatch
last night that glanders was very
alarming among horses in Washing-
ton county. You will please pub-
lish this for tho benefit of your
countrymen. Last year I had two
horses with glanders. Both died
soon after taking. Tho third was
taken and was a horse I had re-
fused $125 for and I thought so
much of him I would try everything
I could think of to cure him and by
experimenting and watching him
close I found a remedy. Before I
found tho remedy he was riven up
by several to die and could hear him
breathe at tunes one hundred yards.
He would havo to open his mouth to
breathe. All the flesh was eat out
between his nostrils and his head
smelt so bad one could hardly go
around him. So I commenced to
doctor with the below directions
and he is now O. K. again. I first
mixed up once a day for several
days one tablespoonful of kerosene
oil one tablespoonful of Wizzard
oil one tablespoonful olive tar. Put
in a lump of axle grease about as
large as a marble for a moisture.
Dissolve all together. Throw the
horse down put tho back of his
head on the ground with nostrils
up; pour in with a spoon. This
way the mediciue can reach all af
fected parts. Could have cured my
horse much sooner if I had known
of this remedy for him.. After I
used once a day until better I then
doctored every twb three and four
days as he improved. After wishing
every one success that has to use
the medicine I remain yours

Prorres?lre Euchre Party.
The progressive euchre party given
at the Exchange hotel parlor on
Monday evening by Mr. and Mrs.
G. G. Dreier complimentary to Miss
Julia C. Robertson of Waco was
one of the most delightful entertain
ments of tho kind ever given in
Brenham. There were five tables
and the game was commenced
about 9 o'clock and playing was in-
dulged in until 11 o'clock at which
hour tho score of each player was
taken. Miss Robertson was award
ed first prize which consisted of a
glass-covered box on the inside of
which was a representation of the
spider and the fly. After the prizes
were awarded the guests were invit-
ed to partake of refreshments. The
table was beautiful to say the least
of it. In the center was a stand of
rare flowers at least three and a half
feet high around which artistically
decorated cakes stood only to make
the picture too beautiful. Wines
were served and dancing was indulg-
ed in moderately and a most delight-
ful evening on the whole was spent
by all. Following is' the list of
those who were present: T. H.
Dwyer and Miss Robertson L. E.
Bryan and Miss Hallie Bryan. E. P.
Curry and Miss Maggie Franklin

Tried to steal Hoix-s.
On last Sunday night an attempt
was made to steal horses from the
pasture of Mr. Tom Gentry who re-
sides three or four miles beyond
Berlin west of this city. At a lato
hour a son of Mr. Gentry who had
been visiting somewhere in the
neighboihood was returning home
when ho discovered two men in the
pasture after the horses. The moon
was shining and they could be seen
distinctly. They had one of the
horses up in the fenco comer and
were almost in the act of securing
him when they were discovered.
Young Gentry went to the house af
ter his shotgun a hundred or two
yards distant and the would-be
thiecs discovered his presence and
divined his intention beforo he could
return and get within shooting dis-
tance of them. Ho blazed away at
them however with both barrels
and caused them to considerably ac-
celerate their speed in taking their
departure.
Catt. Hoyt and Licutcnaut Eliza-
beth Hargrcaves of the Salvation

She was born in Louisville Ky in
1829 and was married to Dr. J. M.

Mississippi for about ten years af-
ter which they retugced to Texas in
1854 on account of yellow fever and

Prof. W. H. Fltkse informs the
Banseb that Hon. O. H. Cooper
state superintendent of public in-
struction has been invited to' and
has accepted the invitation to deliver
the usual commencement address
this year to the graduating class in
Brenham public schools. The school
board had arranged to have the
graduating exercises take place on
the 13th of June but Mr. Cooper
ascertained that ho could not be
here on that date owning to a prior
engagement and so the date of tho
graduating exercises has been chang-
od from the 13th to the 12th of
June.
Pcbsuaht to announcement there-
was a meeting at tho office of Major
John B. "Vinson on Tuesday after-
noon for the purpose of organizing
a young men's commercial clubto
advance the interests of the town
and to co-operate with the board of
trade. There were about 25 pres-
ent. Mr. Harry Swearingen pre-
sided and Ed "Vinson acted as secre-
tary. It was decided after some dis-
cussion to meet again on next Tues-
day evening to perfect permanent
organization. Until then the mem-
bership fee has been placed at
S2.50. After next rneetinrr it will
be So.
Is mentioning the excursion of
the railroad visitors to "this city-
arouud town in carriages on Wed-
nesday evening an important omis-
sion was unintentionally made in not
not speaking of the hospitable recep-
tion and fine wiener worst lunch
at the Germania grounds which
were included in the trip. Mr-
Fred Fisher managed the affair at
the Germania and the pleasure con-
tributed by him was much appre-
ciated. The most important real estate-
transfer reported on Saturday was
tho sale of the Jim Matchett lot in
'the southwestern portion of the city.
This lot contains one acre and is
situated between tho Engelke resi-
dence and Mr. Albert Werner's and
is considered the prettiest and most
desirable building site in town. It
was purchashed by August Schweiss
and tho price paid for it was three
thousand and three hundred dollars.
A faktv. of English capitalists who
have considerable money loaned on
lands in this county passed through
Brenham Tuesday en route to Fort
Worth. They were met at the de-
pot by three or four prominent citi-
zens who tried to induce them to
get off and take a look around town
but they pleaded that their engage-
ments ahead were too pressing.
Ox Thursday Major Boone of
Navasota and Col. Giddings met
and spent the entire forenoon in
drawing up the papers and prepar-
ing the forms of the subscription
lists etc. so that the work of taking
subscriptions for tho proposed rail-
road can begin at once. Everybody
is in earnest about building -the
road.
A eaileoad employe coming down
