We sometimes hear of patrons
complaining of the frequent use
of the immigration page. This
they-ought not to do but rather
help along by sending every such
number to some acquaintance
abroad. It is neither to save la-
bor or expense that we use this
page but solely for the purpose
of advertising our country and
giving the patrons of the If ews
an opportunity of becoming an
immigration committee.
Lee Newman killed Jack Dennis
at Colorado Sunday night. Both
were colored. Newman escaped.
This week begins the tenth vol-
ume of the News. We shall fore-
go the usual editorial on this sub-
ject and shall only say to the peo-
ple of this section that the News
has been with you for nine full
years and earnestly hopes to con-
tinue with you for quite a while
to come.
The negro Parris lias been tried
for the assassination of Langdon
at Dallas and has been found guil-
ty and received the death penalty.
The Dallas Times-Herald issued
a very fine special edition last
Monday.
Senator Voorhees is sending out
divers and sundry sets of ques-
tions touching the operations of
the tariff. In response to these
he will probably get replies from
all the protected industries and
their partisan friends and but
few from the unprotected classes.
It generally turns out that way
and such evidence as this course
will bring before the senate will
be one-sided and misleading.
Powderly has sued the Knights
of Labor for back salary. It ap-
pears from this that he was work-
ing for money as well as princi-
pal. The notorious criminal John
WeBley Hardin has served out
his fifteen years in the peniten-
tiary and been released. Ho has
studied law while in prison and
will now go into practice.
. Another fire was reported among
the World's Fair buildings last
week.
About five thousand men crea-
ted quite a commotion in Boston
Tuesday by crowding into the
statehouse and demanding imme-
diate relief from the woes of
which they complained. The
worst feature of it all was that
they were led on by a fanatical
anarchist. It took a thousand
policemen to preserve order.
The war in Brazil still goes on.
What the outcome of it all will
be no one seems to know. It can-
not result otherwise however
than by bringing a vast amount of
suffering upon the people without
any corresponding benefits.
Two men have baen arrested at
Houston charged ..with being im-
plicated in the train wrecking
near there some time ago.
Bomb throwing by the anar-
chists in Paris has become almost
a daily occurrence.
The city of London is becom-
ing alarmed at the movements and
threats of the anarchists. Their
last move was to scatter leaflets
in which they threaten to destroy
Jhe city by fire.

Second it ought to and probab
ly will greatly increase the cirem-

Taylor bat in the surrounding
counties.
Third it will be an inducement
to prompt payments and even
advance payments and will there
fore yield as much revenue as at
present.
The News was so far as we
know the first paper in the wes-
tern portion of Texas to put the
subscription price to $1.50 a year.
It has always enjoyed the reputa-
tion of being a price maker rather
than a price taker and will keep
up that reputation against all
comers.
It is ii be hoped that all sub-
scribers in arrears will pay up
soon either in cash or trade and
start in with the new rate. There
is enough unpaid subscriptions

All those who have subscribed

have their time extended on the
dollar a year basis.
The County Clerks' association
meets in Galveston next October.
This is a queer date on which to
fix that meeting in an election
vear. Probablv not a dozen of
the several hundred clerks in the
state will know at that time
whether they will be returned to
the office and not knowing will
take little interest in the associa-
tion. Tho most elegant and appro-
priate souvenir of the Exposi-
tion which a visitor can carry
awav is Bancroft's Book of the
Fair taking it home being th
next thing to having the entir
Exposition forever with him. It
is the most complete and perfect
reproduction of the Great Dis-
play that has been made or that
can be made within reasonable
limits. The 1000 imperial folio
pages which the work is to con-
tain will be packed with all that
is most interesting to read and
best worth preserving while the
illustrations are in the highest
art as the numbers so far issued
amply show.
It is said that Hon. J. D. Say-

Another Railroad Rumor.
We find a statement in the Fort
"Worth Gazette as lollows: " It is
said that a party of capitalists
have become interested in the
Red River and Southwestern
which is projected from a point
on the Rock Island system
through Henrietta Albany Abi-
lene and San Angelo Texas to
the Southern Pacfic system form-
ing a short line through Texas to
the City of Mexico by way of the
Mexican Central. About thirty
miles of the line are graded. Hon.
W. A. Squires of Henrietta is in
terested." This would be an im
portant connection for the rail
roads and a very important line
to Abilene and of course 'we
would get a double-quick move
on ourselves and do all we could
for it. "What appears to us
strange about it is that it comes
over the line contemplated by the
Rock Island system but as the
Rock Island Company has no
cnarter yet tne otner leiiows may
use the route provided they hur-
jry up about it.
Newspaper Clubbing.
Having put the subscription
price of the News down to bed-
rock we shall hereafter make no
special clubbing offers. "We will
however furnish patrons with
such other papers as they may
wish at the lowest possible rates.
For instance we will furnish the
News one year and either the
Fort "Worth Gazette Atlanta Con-
stitution Cincinnati Enquirer or
New York "World for $1.50. The
News and the New York Ledger
will be furnished as heretofore
for $2.00 per annum.
Comparative Sizes of Papers.
"With some a paper is a paper.
Others take into consideration
both size and character and make
their estimates accordingly as to
whether a paper is cheap or not.
Below we give a table of compar-
ative sizes of the different styles
of newspapers which will show
the number of inches column
measurement in the various sizes.
A folio is a four-page paper and a
quarto is an eight-page.

may
be seen how the News ranks in
point of size with its competitors.
It is not hard to see that it is both
the largest and cheapest paper in
the Abilene Country.
Captain B. B. Paddock of Fort
Worth an ardent Clark man offer
ed the most sensible resolution of
all at the Matlock committee meet-
ing. After referring to the impor-
tance of harmony and to the fact
that the "Turner Hall wing" was
defeated in the fight to a finish
he proposed the following:
"Whereas In that contest we were
defeated we candidly concede
the right and believe it to be the

Terse Tart and Timely f
The indications of unity among
me democratic senators in sup-
port of the tariff bill has already
had a marked effect. Mills and
manufactories are getting to work
again and the republican calamity
panic promises soon to belong to
the past.
There is no jingoism about the
foreign policy of Cleveland but
there is a keen-vour-hand-off-
American-commerce ring about it
that is far more impressive aer
well as more beneficial. '
The rank and file of the demo
cratic party are with Senator Mc
Lauren in his opposition to the re
tention of republicans in office un
der a democratic administration.
We have never believed that

lated instances in which 'they were

A sure sign of returning pros
perity is the organiza-tros-xii syn
dicates to condjKft such large
terprises as the proposed Pan-
American telegraph line.
A Virginia judge has made
a
decision that should interest real
estate sharks. He decided that a
man who bought lots in a boom
town on tho promise that large in-
dustrial plants were to be located
there is entitled to the return of
his money because that promise
was not fulfilled.
Chicago gets everything even
the small pox which has lately
been trying to get a foothold
there.
If the republicans in congress
believe as they talk why do they
not cease their opposition to tar-
iff reform? If the southern demo-
crats are as the republicans say
bent upon ruining their section
why do the republicans try to stop
them?
The congressman who never
sees beyond the lines of his dis-
trict may be a successful vote-getter
at home but ho is a cypher at
Washington.

been blocked.

them weekly. After a little while
coupons will be issued to them !
and they can then begin to com-
pliment their most deserving
friends by voting for them. The
News will have no suggestions to
make as to whom you should vote
for but leaves this entirely to the
people. We make the awards and
the people do the voting. The
presents to be awarded by vote
are as follows:

plete to the most popular pastor.
2nd A gold watch to the most
popular young lady.
3rd. A sewing machine to the
most popular and deserviug wid-
ow lady.
4th A farm wagon to the most
popular farmer.
Besides these we shall award a
