Mew Orleans After Texas (Jrain.
Galveston is beginning to see
the danger with her 1,000,000
bushel elevator on baud, and no
grain coming to her wharf. The
following paragraphs from the
New Orleans Picayune are of in-
terest to Velasco as much so as to
(¡alveston. The millions of bush-
els of grain going out from Texas
to foreign markets would find
Velasco its most natural outlet if
proper inducements were ottered
to shipping. There is no place on
the Texas coast that affords the
advantages for handling large
quantities of grain that Velasco
does. The Picayune says: There
can be no overlooking the fact
that it is of the highest import-
ance that New Orleans, which is
the nearest point of consequence
to the Texas grain fields, should
become the market for all the pro-
duce of that section. It will be
of uo small advantage to the pres-
tige of this city as a grain market
to possess a section of country
producing large quantities of grain
naturally tributary to us. The
grain section of Texas is capable
¡ of great development, and if the
'! farmers there can l e shown that
I
! they have a reliable market close
j at hand they will be encouraged
i to greatly increase their crops to
the manifest advantage of the
merchants of this city.
I'nder such circumstances it. is
but natural that business men here
engaged in handling the large
amount of Texas oats arriving this
season should be desirousof hand-
ling them promptly and to the ad-
vantage oj the shippers. The
prompt and satisfactory handling
I of the present large crop will go
j fur to permanently establish this
| city as the market for Texas grain,
and to that end both our mer-
chants and commercial institu-
tions would do well to provide
1 everything necessary to facilitate
and promote the movement.
(«enernl Stevenson Talks.
General Stevenson was the guest
j of Mr. and Mrs. Cleveland in their
summer home, Gray Cables. After
complimentary remarks about the
hospitality of his distinguished
host and hostess, General Steven-
son said to a reporter: "The
Democratic party is for tariff re-
form: it is opposed to the force
; bill. It believes in an honest and
¡economic administration of the
¡government. Mr. Cleveland is the
; champion of these cardinal issues.
The people demanded his nomi-
nation because of this fact, and I
do not believe Uiey are going to
permit his defeat. I think that
we stand a very good show to
carry the states of Illinois and
Wisconsin, to gel not less than
live or six of the electoral votes
I
|of Michigan, and it looks now
that the Republicans will surely
lost* the vote of Kansas through
the efforts of the people's party.
" I do not believe that the Dem-
ocrats will lose a single Demo-
cratic state, and, therefore, from
these propitious signs of material
gains in the West I do not see
how the ticket is to be overcome.
The party is harmonious, and
' evervwhere that I have been there
1 is general enthusiasm lor the I i • k -
! et. I shall not be idle during the
campaign and expect to make a
I number of speeches."
j It is a settled fact trial the an-
archist Alexander Bergman was
an apprentice on llerr Most Frei-
i licit. That lie had no connection
whatever with the Amalgamated
association And it is certain that
the Homestead strikers deprecate
and deplore tic attack upon Mr.
Frick as a cowardly act and
should be punished.
Miss Williams Honored With a Public

The backbone of the Homestead

once more in that recently distrac-

resigned the leadership and the
larger part of the military regi-

are spotted. The Carnegie com-
