The Other Sido.
A delegation from the bakers who are charged
by Mr. Bailie with having created a row in his
shop last Saturday night, called at The News office
last evening and made the following statement re-
garding the ui'.'air: Several members of the
Bakers Union went around to Uailie's shop Satur-
day night, and finding the door open walked in
and asked his workmen if they intended to keep up
the union, or to work every day in the week. At
this Mr. Kunke, one of Bailie's" workmen, raised a
shovel with the intention to strike. They say there
were no blows, as charged, and no knock-downs on
either side.

Captain Fisher's Case Decide d-
The trial ol" the ease of Captain E. i. Fisher, of

harbor master, with the violation of :\ectionll of
the harbor reflations of the port of' Galveston,
was resumed last evening in the Recorder's Court.
After examining four or five witness* s and argu-
ments by J. B. Stubbs, city attorney, i; i behalf of
the city, and by Messrs. .Mills and Ivle ljerg, in be-
half or Captain Fisher, the case was s ubmitted to
tiie jury, wiio returned a verdict of guihy and fined
the defendant $.'0 or five days imprisonment.
This case is of importance, from the lac.; t,'iat it in-
volves the question of the powers of th* ■ harbor

: . sr- (j;i . ;lo:i suj'i'll* d with water as any other
citi' n: bur insetting that supply there are many
im)»ortaiii things to consider too many to mention
h v. I don't know any better or just way to bc;;iu
ih;M! the one already proposed by the stand-
ing Committee on Water Supply, viz: to
employ a competent hydraulic engineer, at
ihc expense of the city, to come here - to survey
trie country adjacent—to find out the most
available source for a constant and never-failing
simply: then, having found that source, to make
an c-aimare of the probable cost of bringing the
wa: i-r hero and supplying it to the city and its in-,
habiumts. When that is done, then to advertise ;
for bMs to erect the works and to supply the water
upon the estimates furnished by the engineer, and
!•» let out the contract to the lowest and best bid-
der. It is hardly to be presumed that the city-
would wish to undertake t« build the waterworks,
but I conceive it to be tiie duty of the city govern-
ment to see that her citizens are ail pro-
tected from exliorbitant charges for water
rates by any company who may obtain an
exclusive franchise to* supply the water, and
also to have the purity of the water guaranteed.
No member of the oily government is a hydraulic
engineer. A competent engineer is the, proper per-
son to give us the information desired. If a man
is sick, or in the clutches of the law. he sends for a
doctor or consults a lawyer. If be wants to build a
house he confers with au architect as to its proba-
ble cost, and. when that is done, he can advertise
for bids. Now. the committee on water-supply
have recommended the council to appropriate
enough money to pay a competent engineer to
make the necessary surveys ami estimates.
Up to this time their recommendation has not
been adopted. I confess 1 don't know any-
thing else to recommend that would be better.
There are eminent engineers whose works in other
cities are the best guarantee of their .professional
attainments, who could be secured to come here
and solve the problem of a water-supply and its
cost. Such an expert could tell us whether the
Brazos. San Jacinto. Clear creek or Clear lake
would furnish the best, cheapest and most wliole-
som . water: or whether the chances are best to bring
the best and cheapest from the bowels of the earth
by artesian wells. Until such a man. who is quali-
fied as an expert in such matters, is employed to
tell us. we are all groping in the dark. And* if we
accept a proposition without proper information,
the city is simply *k buying a pig in a bag."
Alderman Thomas H. Sweeney, of the Fourth
ward, was called upon at his office. Said he: "I
am disgusted with the way this thing is being
handled. We want water, and we must have it.
Since the first movement was inaugurated jn this
direction. I have, as you know, been strongly in
favor of it. My vote has been given steadily "for
procuring water, and I am now in favor or any
plan by which that object can be obtained. If fresh
water can be procured, I most certainly want to
see that system adopted, and for that reason
I am in favor of employing a competent man
to make surveys, plans; arid estimates for us. The
inat.fr of a few liundi ed dollars expense in eonnee-
m w it h this is a mere bagatelle, compared with he
importance of obtaining water. Of course I don't
pr-tend to know whether fresh water can be ob-
tained from, this, that or the other stream: but that
is what we want an engineer to tell us. When we
gei this information, which I consider will be cheap
at the figures named for the service (SlOOO). then
we will know how to act: and if we find that we
can not obtain fresh water, then I say let's have a
supply of salt water for the tire district. We must
have water at all events, and get rid of this insur-
ance ironbie."
*■ Do you think that anything will be done Mon-
day bv the council?
" I hope so. most earnestly."'
Alderman l'earre, of the Ninth ward, expressed
himself i'reely on the subject, and announced him-
self as decidedly in favor of a water supply. Mr.
Pearre is desirous to have fresh water, but "if that
can not be obtained 'hen he wants to see hydrants
for fire purposes put down, and a salt water supply
secured. On tne subject of fresh water
he inclined to the opinion that the most feasible
method would be by artesian wells, and lie did not
think because a man who had demonstrated the
fact that he was ignorant of the conditions exist-
ing lien -, had failed, the artesian well system should
be condemned. This is an age of intelligence and
men should look at these questions intelligently.
There arc too many Instances on record where this
system is i'i successful operation to question
its feasibility The city of Charleston. South
< arolln i. gets its water supply bv means of artesian
wells, and Is situated on sandy ground, with a
quielo-und substratum just as is Galveston. The
contractor who sunk the Charleston wells is a
practical man. with a thorough understanding of
his business, and he could have been engaged to
com- here and bore for water.
The reporter asked Mr. Pearre's opinion of ob-
taining r iver water. He replied that he did not
cou-ader the plan as feasible. Clear creek water is
la... ki.-h: so is the Brazos river. The Sail Jacifttu
go- 's dry <>r becomes stagnant and full of dead
cattle, and the Trinity and Colorado are too far to
be reached, except at a cost that would be out of
th - Oil. Lio::. Concluding, Mr. Pearre said he hoped
something would be done by the council, and done
at once.
AM'-nimn John Wegner. of tin* Eleventh ward,
was halted ».n the Strand and plied with the usual
questions. Mr. Wegner said that while he was in
favor of waterworks he did not regard with any
degree of favor tiie proposition to bring the supply
from any of the streams that had been named, be-
cause the water iu none of them was
iii to drink, and as people would certainly
drink it. the consequence would bean increase of
marial sickness. lie thought that something might
be done under th" artesian well system, and was
Hsng i'» give that a'trial at the hands of parties
recognized ability. He thought that no time
oidd ba lost in getting to work in some way. and
while his vote had defeated the proposition at the
lust meeting to employ an engineer to make sur-
tc., yet if tiie matter were to come up
again he would vote for an appropriation
sufficient to-pay the expenses of such an under-
taking. He still had bis opinion on the subject,
but he was just that anxious to secure water that
lie would waive them to let the experimen
made. If this failed, lie then desired t«» seethe
salt water plan adopted, and he did not want to se
any more delay than was possible in the premises.
Alderman Cotter, of the Sixth ward, was found
later in the afternoon, and, answering the report-
er's questions, said: " You can put me down for
waterworks—fr» sii If v can get it. salt if we can't.
I think, however, that I he San Jacinto will furnisl
us all tiie fresh water ih.:( we want, and it is good
\va(erlw domestic us s." On the subject of an
artesian well, he said: • ,i es: if the right kind of
man is secured, 1 am wil'.iug to give that a trial,
mid you may say that I consider $25,000
pended in the endeavor to get a good pure supply
of fresh water by the boring process money well
invested, even if the effort fails. Galveston "is :
going to always be as small as it is now. and this
not a matter merely of to-day. In handling this
question we should act prudently and wisely. If
the river and well plans fail, then let's adopt the
sa1: water plan for the fire district. Perhaps later
on something will be done to secure the more de-
sirable end. The reporter hunted for the other
members of the board, but was unable to see them,
and theeefore presents the foregoing.as a kind of
first gun. Others will be given an "opportunity of
talking if they so desire.

The Convention.
The Senatorial.Legislative and Floatorial Conven-
tions will convene at Turner Hall this evening
Mr. John C. Walker will call the Senatorial con
ventioa to order at 7:30 o'clock, and the others will
follow.
The question with which the delegates are just
now struggling is upon whom to throw the mantle
of senatorial honor. Colonel Walter Gresham had
been mentioned prominently in connection with
the position, but yesterday he peremptorily de-
clined to permit the use of his name. This ultima-
tum has caused the trouble, and one of the promi-
nent delegates to tiie convention said to a News re-
porter last night that he was at a complete stand-
still, and that it looked very much like the office
was " going a begging."
General Bates, of Brazoria, whose name was

combination, it is said has been greatly enlarged
and improved, and now ranks"as one or the finest
minstrel organizations on the road.
These colored minstrels have always been favor-
ites here because they have given a clean show,
and have presented really meritorious perform
ances. Several of the old comedians are 111 tiie
present company, while a number of new faces
will be seen- all, however, first-classartis»s. They
will be very likely to have large housesduring their
stay.

Railroad KTe-ws.
Pilot Point Post: A freight train went
through a small bridge Wednesday night, on
the road south of Dentuu, seriously injuring
k"o men. and causing a delay of trains.
St. Louis Railway Register: Even live years
Z<j the success of any railroad built across the
plains of Western Texas would have been con-
sidered problematical, though a few sanguine
spirits had faith to lielieve that such an enter-
prise would prove profitable. But the Texas
aud Pacific was constructed through the Lone
Star State, aud no one now seems to doubt
that it will prove to be a paying road. Two
years ago we reviewed the anuuai report of the
company, and referred to the bold scheme
which was being carried out, but no one then
could imagine that the road would be finished
so soon and become a part of the great South-
west system. Lant week the aunual meeting
of the company was held, and the stockhold-
ers listened to a favorable exhibit of the opera-
tions of the year. The company, at the end
of the fiscal year, worked 14S9 miles of road,
extending from Texarkana and Shreveport to
El Paso, aud from Shreveport to New Orleans,
with numerous branches. These linos extend
the Soutwest system to the Rio Grande,
where connection is made with the
Southern Pacific for San Francisco
and New Orleans, other divisions reach-
ing down to Galveston and Laredo. The Rio
Grande division from Fort Worth to El Paso,
<5(52 miles, was only opened for business in Feb-
ruary yet the earnings for fi ve months amount-
ed to 8c4S.754 gross, and $313,381 net. When
it is considered that these five months are the
poorest part of the year for business in Texas
it will be seen that the road must earn its fixed
charges and some <li\ idend even in the first
year of its operation. The land department
of the company shows that nearly five million
acres of the grant have been located, the
larger portion of which is advantageously situ-
ated and must soon be disposed of at satisfac-
tory prices.
Mr. A. R. Woolstaw, general freight and
passenger agent of t he Mexican National Rail-
way Company, has issued a circular to general
passenger agents, informing them that his line
is now open for passenger business to Monte-
rey, 329 miles from Laredo, Texas, forming
the most direct route to the interior of Mex-
ico. Two daily trains will be run each way
between Coi*pus Christi and Monterey. Com-
fortable reclining-chair cars will run on the
night trains.
Woodville Eureka: Mr. Paul McComb,
chief engineer of the New Orleans, Hunts-
ville and West Texas Railway, has made a
preliminary survey to Terry's ferry, on the
Sabine river. Ou his first preliminary survey
from Kuntsville. Mr. McComb crossed the
Trinity at Patrick's ferry, and run a line to
Livingston, in Polk county: thence to Wood-
ville. in Tyler county: thence to Town bluff,
in Tyler county: thence to Newton, in
Newton county; thence to Terry's
ferry, on the Sabine river. On his return
Mr. "McColnb run another line south of the
original preliminary survey, crossing the
Neches at Work's Bluff and striking the South-
western and East. Texas road near Hollister, in
Tyler county. He expects to go in a direct
line west as practicable from the last named
point. Soon as their engineer returns to
Huntsville, the road will then be located, and
work of construction will begin at once. Mr.
McComb seems to be very confident that this
road will come through" the town of Wood-
ville. We think the New Orleans, Huuts-
\ ille aud West Texas Railway, when it is com-
pleted, will be one of the best paying roads in
the State. It will not only run through agri-
cultural lands, equal in fertility to any in the
world, but will when it reaches Southeast
Texas and West Louisiana, strike probably the
most valuable pineries iu this or any other
country. This road will afford the shortest
route and cheapest transportation for tho lum-
ber of this section to the broad prairies of
West Texas, and the best outlet for the con-
veyance of the cattle and grain of Western
Texas to the Eastern market.
Jasper News-Boy: Mr. Geo. B. Wheeler,
locating engineer of the Trinity aud Sabine
Railroad, gave us a brief call yesterday, and
says he has passed over the country on both
sides of Sandy creek, and has made a most fa-
vorable report to the company of the route
ditectly to our town. His party returned to-
day to the west side of the Last Texas road to
finish the permanent location of the road to
that point. We feel very hopeful of this
road reaching us in the not distant future.
In a jewelry store at Erie hangs a clock
about the size of an average eight-day clock,
w ith a pendulum weighing forty pounds. This
pendulum is made to oscillate beneath a

Three Uecroes.
Cairo, Septenilier 27.—The ministers met iu
council to-day and agreed upon thb wording
of three decrees, which the khedive will sign
to-morrow.
The first decree institutes a special commis-
sion for the prosecution of all acts of rebellion
committed by military or civilians. The com-
mission will consist of nine members and will
be under the presidency of Ismael Bey.
The second decree orders that a court-martial
with eight members, Reouf Pasha presiding,
shall be held in Cairo; and that it shall give
judgment according to militai j code, without
appeal iu all cases submitted by the above-
named commission.
The third decree directs the assembling iu

cases submitted by tribunals recently appoint-
ed in Alexandria aud Tautah. The proceed-
ings of both courts-martial will be public, aud
the accused will be permitted to employ coun-
sel. The khedive will shortly issue a decree

Pays and Petit Caporal, the opposition section
of the party, forced an entrance into the hail
where they were assembled. Revolvers and
sword-canes were displayed and a number of
assaults were committed. The Jeromists de-
claie that tlie-recent duel between Richard,
editor of the Petit Caporal, and Demasses,
editor of the Combat, in which the latter was
killed, was virtually an assassination. The feud
between the two sections is becoming very iu-
tense. Republicans are delighted at these dis-
sensions between their enemies.

[From the New York Star.]
The Democratic Convention at Saratoga
yesterday met the l»?st expectations of the
Democracy of tho State by nominating Hon.
Grover Cleveland, mayor of Buffalo, for gov-
ernor. By this act the convention swept away
forever tho whole record of years of }K>rsonal
and factional contention and planted itself 011
the great principles of Democracy to meet the
living issues of the time. The caudidate em-
bodies the creed of the Democracy of to-day.
He represents Democratic ideas in their
newest practical applications He is
a. thorough anti-monopolist, and has fought
the liattle of the people in the office
he now honorably nils. He is the friend and
advocate of the working!>eople. Ho holds to
the self-government of municipalities in all
matters of local concern. Ho believes in rigid
economy ill the use of the people's money; in
the education of the children of the people, so
that they can earn an honest livelihood and be-
come useful citizens: in the subjection of corpo-
rations to a proper legislative control, and in
the management oC the politics of the State by
the people of the State, without Federal inter-
ference.
Grover Cleveland is a successful man of the
people. Born in New Jersey forty-five year?
ago, he was educated at the academy of "Clin-
ton, 111 Oneida county, to which place his
parents had removed. Obliged early to earn a
livelihood, he was placed in a store as clerk.
He was presently persuaded to go to Cleve-
land, Ohio, to try his fortunes; but at Buffalo
his uncle urged him to remain and study law,
and he was admitted to practice iu 1 sf>0. ~ Four
years afterward he was made assistant district
attorney, and tilled the office with credit, and
iu 1S70 he was chosen sheriff. But he cared
less for politics than for the business ««f
his profession, in which he soon won distinc-
tion and built up a large and lucrative pra>
tice. He was esteemed Jus a model private
citizen. He was respected by all parties as a
high-minded, trustworthy, independent man.
And last year, when tiie people of Buffalo
wanted a mayor who was personally incor-
ruptible, who would conduct the affairs of his
office 011 business principles, who would disre-
gard the politicians to serve the people of the
city and protect its interests, they spontaneous-
ly elected Grover Cleveland. The offic
sought the man. and he would have refused it
but for the urgent entreaty of men of all par-
ties. And in that Republican city he was
chosen by a majority of over five thousand
votes. li is administration has been so success-
ful, so satisfactory to the people, and so pitV*
that he is to-day the most popular public man
in Erie county. A Democrat by instinct and
conviction, he was named, for governor by
popular acclamation, and nobodv seems to
know who spoke his name first. Ilis nomina-
tion was a spontaneous expression of popular
regard.
'ilie nomination of Mr. Cleveland for gover-
nor is a splendid step in advance on the line of
a now Democratic departure. Horatio Seymour
wisely said a little while ago that the time had
come for new men to take the lead in our po! itics,
and that the young men of the party could not
pick up old men's quarrels. Most of the men
who were named for governor before the con-
vention had been more or less implicated in
tiie factional contentions of the last ten years:
and even the most estimable of them had
prejudiced opponents. It is saying nothing
discreditable of any one of them
to declare what • will lie tho verdict of
the Democracy of the whole State, that in
taking up a new mau. not involved in any past
contention, the convention acted with consum
mate wisdom. It carried out the policy of
uuiou it had inaugurated at the outset. It
emphasized its determination for harmony by
its candidate for governor. Henceforth the
Democracy of the Empire State is one and in-
divisible. Hereafter it is to be devoted to liv-
ing issues, to the great interests of the State
and nation, to the welfare of the people. This
is what yesterday's convention said. This is
what Grover Cleveland's nomination means.
Mr. Cleveland is a comparatively young man.
His nomination appeals directly to all the
young men in the »State. He is then* repre-
sentative. He is in active sympathy with their
progressive ideas and aspirations. " Like them,
he is interested in the future of the State and
country. And he will have their earnest sup-
port.
Mr. Cleveland is identified with the Western
part of the State. He is mayor of a city
which lias just celebrated its semi-centennial.
And better than almost any eastern man, he
knows how the interest of the two extremes of
the State are one and the same; how the agri
culture aud the commerce of the State an
mutually dependent and supporting; how
the trade of the great 1 akes ought to be
1 toured directly through the heart of the
commenwealth to this metroplitan market;
how the magnificent canal which gave such a
powerful impetus to the agriculture and com-
merce and prosperity of the State from 1S24 to
1S00 must now be turned into a free river from
Lake Erie to the Hudson to complete the bene-
fit it began and enable New York to maintain
her supremacy. The true aim of the govern-
ment of the State is to extend New York city
to Lake Erie aud Buffalo to New York bay.
That is what the nomination of Grover Cleve-
land means. And that is what the people of
the Empire State mean shall be done.
The other names on the ticket will each add
to it a distinct elenieut of strength. David P.
Hill, of Eimira, is a popular and experienced
public man, who will make au excellent pre-
siding officer of the Senate. William C. Ruger,
of Syracuse, is a jurist whose character ami
abilities eminently fit liim to adorn the bench
of our highest State court. In Henry W. Slo-
cum the Democratic convention presents to the
people of the State a veteran of the war for
the Union—in which respect the Republicans
did not set an example, despite all their affec-
tation of regard for " the soldier element."

The Capitol Board—Secrecy ?.nd the
Public Servico—Tho Civil Service
System of the State—Hevenue from
Occupations, Stc-
fSpi*cial Correspondence of The News.l
ArsTiN, Septenilier 25.—At a recent uniting
of the Capitol Board the question of op»*b
•-ions was raised by the announcement of
the attorney-general that he no longer felt him-
If lx>nnd to secrecy respecting matters ap-
pertaining purely to the public. The coniuits-
ioner of the land office agreed with the
attorney-general, and the governor stated that
so far as he was concerned ho was perfectly
willing that the press should have the benefit
of their full deliberations. Here tho matter
dropped, probably out of courtesy to the
comptroller, who was unavoidably absent,
lie, however, is iu accord on this ouestion with
the members of the board referred to, and it is
proliable that the subject will be brought to a
ite at the earliest practicable opportunity,
with the result that is now so strongly fore-
shadowed. It is to be regretted that tins very
responsible body of public stewards so
long overlooked the importance of this
judicious step. Whether viewed from the
Democratic watchtower, or the less misleading
stand-points of patriotism aud prudence, the
folly of synod and couclave proceedings by
men engaged in the administration of public
affairs involving heavy expenditures and the
purity of the civil service, is apparent. Tu?j»
final disposition tit' tho capitol lauds, which
> been reposed in this board, exceeds in
value the aggregate appropriations made by
the Seventeenth Legislatiuv, and there would
seem to be more right for the legislature—lie-
cause being by its number less liable to error
and less able *to conceal fraud—to sit with
closed doors and under a pledge of secrecy
pending the consideration of appropriation
bills. Iu this connect'-m, vour correspondent
may lie pardoned for his individual belief that
all the members of the- • 'apitol Board are honest
at the core, and that if they were 111 it otherwise
they might, through the agency of their dark
ways, have enriched themselves by the oppor-
tunities that. Were thrown in their way. This,
however, should make them the more
desirous for open action, if for no
other reason, to protect themselves
against imputations drawn from such premises
as the fallen down temporary capitol, the utter
groundlessness of which would be apparent to
the public were they kept posted as to the in-
side workings of the board. There are but two
secret civil bodies recognized by law—tlio
grand jury and the Senate in executive ses-
sion—and the question of the propriety of
aboli-.hi.ig both has of late been engrossing the
attention of the country. Certainly it is not
in accordance with the genius of our institu-
tions to allow a body of five men, for instance
the Texas Capitol Board, to administer in the
dark upon three million acres of land, and to
criticize and condemn men in secret without
affording them an opportunity for defense.
Beside, the parties composing this board
should be ready to assume individual responsi-
bility for their acts, and not bo ashamed for
the public to know what they say and how
they vote.
civil service at home.
As might l>e supposed there is much specula-
tion indulged in here regarding the fate of de-
partment clerks when the incoming adminis-
tration takes possession of the official ax. Hon.
G. W. Joues is reported as saying that if elect-
ed he will not malce any removals unless upon
evidence of inefficiency or malfeasance: but the
Democrats claim that "he will lack by 60.000
votes the opportunity to work art innovation
in the civil service system of the State. None
of the other candidates for department offices
have had the courage to express themselves
upon this very important particular, and the
consequence is much uneasiness among sub-
ordinates who expect to be at the mercy of
their bosses. In this connection the question
arises whether or not the new department
heads, elect;*! upon a profession of prin-
ciple which denounces the Republican party
for using the public service as a tomahawk for
war ami slaughter, and begin by decapitating
clerks and others to make room for favorites,can
do so wit hout exposing themselves to tlieeharge
of treason and dishonesty. In point of public
opinion the officer elect is expected to take
charge of his department, not as a Comanche
chief after a victory, but as a trustee in charge
of a large business concern, which he is sup-
posed to administer faithfully for the tax-
payers. Therefore, should he impair the effi-
ciency of his force by substituting raw for
expert material, he will go indirectly into the
pockets of all who pay for the support of the
government. To discharge competent clerks,
many of them working ou salaries of ?>75 a
month, 3*et with the advantage of years of ex-
perience, for no other reason
tii an that some particular section of
the State is not equally represented
at the department desks, or because the incom-
ing boss has particular friends to care for, is to
admit the claim of brigandage over honest
methods. Everybody wouid see the mon-
strosity of such a svstom ou private business,
and everybody in Texas interested iu its wel-
fare will" take occasion to observe when the
projier time arrives whether the lively and
demonstrative piety of the Democratic parts
for civil service reform is only skin deep, or is
the expression of a high moral ambition.
rapid growth.
According to estimates in the comptroller's
Office, the total revenue from occupations for
tho year which expired August ol, 1SS2,
amounts to $0.50,000. By deducting from this
^:;:J0,000 tax on retail liquor dealers, and .$140,
000 derived from drummers' lieeuses and spe-
cial taxes, there remain JfrllSOjOOO com-
ing under the receipt system. For the
year ending August 31, 1S30, .there was
received from all occupations covered by .the
receipt system, tho sum of $263,000. - This
may lie information for your Clarksville cor-
respondent, whose disgust for the check pr«
vided by that system sticks out in every angle
of his letter, and who, 1 am informed, is a tax-
collector. Au increase of nearly a hundred
per cent, iu occupations, within two years,
would seem to indicate that the Brown system
is progressive.
a legislative reminiscence.
Pending existing controversies respecting the
policy of charging five dollars an acre for pin*
land, the closing scene of the extra session of
the Seventeenth Legislature is worthy
of description. All important railroads
bills had been buried out of sight or killed,
and security seemed to reign in every quarter
where an interest was represented when the
announcement was whispered around—the
whispering making the entire round in about
five minutes—that the govenx ir's secretary was
iu the hall with a proclamation holding the
legislature over thirty days longer if they
failed to jkiss the pine land bill. This was
enough. The bill went through, making the
liest time on record, and the curtain fell.
Somebody with a large constituency was
overheard to remark: '* The railroad men went
back 011 us this time, but they'll find out that
there is a hereafter." It appears that the rail
roadmen Hew the track of faith rather than put
their trust in a prolonged legislature aud the
old salt at the helm, who prides . himself in
never having punched a railroad pass.
undying devotion.
Governor Lubbock's address at the court-
house last week consumed three. hours and a
half, together with all opposition within the
sound of his voice. During all this time the
aged orator (aged sixty-seven)- overlooked both
water and lemon juice in keeping up a steady
fire on the infidels. Never was there a
sublimer spectacle of vitality rejuvenated by
the electrical conditions of a boated political
canvass.

Sheep and "Wool-
Uvalde Hesperian: The fall clip of wool
comes fully up to the anticipations of all par-
ties iu quality and quantity, but the weight of
wool will bea little lighter than usual from the
repeated washing received by the flocks during
the summer rains. What is lost in quantity,
however, will be much improved in quality,
and a better price in market will result.
Brady Sentinel: Mr. Beckett informs us that
Mr. Lowry, of Camp San Saba, has lost within
the past week about 200 head of sheep with
lombries. Can not some experienced sheep-
man suggest a cure for the terrible disease?
We learn that another sheepman living in the
county, has also lost quite a number from the
seme disease.

month. Good herders can always find employ-
ment At least 100 good laborers, sheep-
herders, etc., can find permanent jobs at good
wages by coming to San Angela.
Brandon Bugle: Nearly all of our sheep-
men were finished shearing, and the wagons
loaded with wool ornamented the road between
this and Santone with their fleecy burdens.
