The More Fute of a Milk Man.
Yesterday morning about 4
o'clock Austin was visited by one
of the most severe storms it has
been her fortune to encounter in
a long time. In fact it was almost
in the nature of a cloud burst of
small proportions. Considerable
damage was done, the dam at
Glenn Ridge being broken by the
rushing waters. At the time the
torrent reached the mouth of
Shoal Creek, Mr. Joseph Klum,
driving a milk wagon to which
two mules were attached, was
crossing the stream. Mules, wag-
on and driver were carried away,
the mules being drowned while
Klum after a hard struggle suc-
ceeded in reaching the shore.
Opinions on the Win;.
The views as expressed in the
columns of the Times repeatedly
on the bi-metalic question were
distinctly set forth by Giddings
of Brenham in the Lampasas con-
vention, that no home legislature
in monetizing silver, rendering it
of equal value with gold would
avail the country anything if not
joined in by other nations—an in-
ternational congress, thus raising
silver from 70 cent to 100 on a
par with gold.
Sheperd was right when he said
in the Lampasas convention he
was sick of hearing national bunks
decried unless the objector had
something better to offer. He
thinks government should issue
money, but not banks: and
he was tired of seeing democrats
cooing and wooing with third
party men; let them slide and bid
them stay away; they are nothing
leas nor more than disgruntled,
faultfinding renegades.THK Timks
thinks it will not be long before
these same third party men and
the lily whites will be fused into
one heterogenic brotherhood. It
would be political strategy of a
more fruitful source if the third
party and the ivory blacks would

and considered it the right time
for the democracy of the country
to be pronounced on this ques-
tion. Ho did not call Cleveland's
name there, but on several occa-
sions afterwards he did do so.
But now Cleveland is the leading
genius in Mississippi, Texas and
even Kentucky in spite of the sil-
ly blustering of Henry Wafterson.
The same thing is apparent in
Lampasas today. Hogg's best
friends of I SIX) are now his strong-
est opposerb; and woni'erful to be
told, many who are most rdpug-
nantly opposite are as homogen-
ius in the present State campaign
as political brothers well can be,
such as Walter Greshaiu and
Miles Crowley. When the politi
cal clouds of 1802 have been
swept away, we will have a new
and no doubt a most extraordina-
ry era to dawn upon us. All the
Times and all good people can
hope for is that the general wel-
fare will be placed above party
rancor, and that in spite of party

are full of fight, but the Blaine
supporters are still by long odds
the most enthusiastic and also the
most quarrelsome. If the conven-
tion winds up its work without
bloodshed it will be almost mar-
velous, considering the extraor-
dinary ill-felling that has been
bred between the factions in the
past lew days.
There are many strange fea-
tures developed at this Minnea-
polis convention. The strongest
supporters Maine had in 1884 are
now his boldest antagonists, and

Ridiculous l'relini¡liarles.
Prior to the meeting of the dele-
gates the local sympathies and
wire pullers formed ranks and
began to put into execution the
old adsge "the longest pole gets
the persimmon.'' The Harrison
followers procured an immense
long pole to which they attached
a Hag; the Blaine admirers, un-
daunted, procured a long fishing
pole to which they attached a
flag and surmounted it with
Blaine's likeness which pushed
the Rluinc admirers undaunted,
procured a fishing pole twice the
length of'tlie Harrison pole, on
which they mounted Maine's like-
ness.
This gave the Blaine people the
victory so far as the highest pole
capable of reaching the persim-
mon was concerned for some
time, but the fishing-pole was
agile and wablby, the Harrison
people aggressive, and after
awhile the pole got to shaking so
