place nicely situated. When this
grove is fixed it will be a delightful
spot for recreation. Wonder when
it will be fixed, asked one gentleman
to the other. «Oh, tfays the other,
this park should be attended to at
once, its a nice place that when pro-
perly fitted up,.if will be what San-
ta Crus park is to the Matamoren-
/eep. "And look at that grove over
jjiere,".pointing to the west, "half of

er half in sugar cant. Verily, this

Court Notes.
District court convened yesterday
morning at the usual hour. Judge
John C. Russell on the bench.
The Luciano Muñoz murder case
was taken up and it consumed the
(day. ,-The case went to the jury
about dark and in about fifteen min-
utes returned a verdict of not guilty.
Luciano Muñoz is about 80 years of
age and the evidence clearly show-
ed that the killing of his man was
purely in self defense.
Court then adjourned until tomor-
row morning at 9 o'clock.
That Jetty.
No one seems to take any inter-
est in protecting this right bauk
of the river from being out away
by the river, the cause of whioh ia
th«* jetty that is now being con-
structed on the left bunk of the
river by the Mexican authorities.
Of course it will damage pome
ono'a lan i if proceedings are not
inaugurated soon. For our part
we do not care, but it is our busi-
ness to l. t the people know what
ia being done, one way or the oth-
and we will keep on doing so
as long as we are here, more anon.
early next week to make an effort
to secure night and possibly conti-
nuous sessions. Details of his
course have not yet been definitely
decided upon and will not be until
a canvass of friends of the bill *hall
be made. There is a disposition
among some supporter? of the bill
on the democratic side to avoid any-
thing looking like a cloture. Re*
publican supporters of the bill act
not showing the zeal their action in
the early part of the session led the
democratic leaders to suppose might
be expected of them. It is broadly
hinted that some in view of the
favorable change in the business
situation and with the prospect of
soon having before them the fra-
ctal election bill, are not so eager as
they were to have the bill become a
law.
The silver men are relying upon
the apathy of many of the suppor-
ters of the bill to give them consi-
derable more time for debate than
the Voorhees plans contemplate,
and declarer with considerable un-
animity that the end is not so near
as the friends of the bill predict.

There will be no material reduc-
tion of taxation until there is a re-
I
duction all along the line of official
salaries and other extravagant ap-
propriations. These afe now on an
average twice as high as they were
when wheat was $1 per bushel and
cotton ia| cent per pound. The
people are paying twice as much for
a poorer quality of government, Na-
tional, State, county or city, than
they did when prices of produce
were much better.—Texas Farmer.

Silver Ufen Tickled
Washington, Sept. 16.—Senator..
Lindsay's spcech, following so close-
ly upon Mr. Voorhees' statement of
a few days ago promising to take
up the silver question in another
form after the repeal of the pur?
chasing clause of the Sherman act
has been accomplished, is taken as
meaning it is to be the definite po-
licy of the friends of the repeal bill
to hold out this promise with a view
to conciliating opponents of the bill
and bring them ultimately to con-
sent to permit that measure toj be
put to atéét vote. The more radi-
cal of the sliver men say they are
not to be caught with promises of
that character in the absence of any
show of authority from the "presi-
dent andin view of .his consistent
antagonism to silver.
