BRENHAM DAILY BANNER.
a. RANKIN, Proprietor.
Eatcred at the Postoffice in Brenham, Texas,
as Second-Class Matter.
Sunday Morning, September 8.
The apple crop in Europe is extra
large and fine this year.
m
Lightning kills one person
every 310,000 of the population of
this country every year.
Walter L. Main's circus and
menagerie are advertised to exhibit
at Denison, September 13th.
It is estimated that 104 persons
in this country have perished by
mob violence since March 1st, last.
It is said that Commissioner
Baker's goldbug gubernatorial boom
has struck a snag and collapsed—
gone up in smoke, as it were.
There are 2,000,000,000 acres of
unoccupied public lands in this
country and yet the mad rush goes
on for a faded boom and a corner
lot.
Let us have a little common sense
and common justice injected into
our financial policy, and pay all our
creditors, without discrimination, in
silver or gold, or both.

Jerry Simpson, when twitted for
drinking shampagne at Topeka, the
other night, said: "It is part of
my purpose to secure some of the
luxuries of life to the common peo
pie." ^
Over a ton of sound money litera-
ture has reached Corsicana from the
billionaire money sharks of Wall
street for distribution in Texas. The
kicthen stove would be the proper
recepticle for such rotten stuff.
The immigration movement from
Georgia, Tennessee and the Car
olina's to Texas and the Southwest
has already begun, and exhibits an
actiyity that indicates an unusually
heavy movement.
*The Houston Age refers to the
fact that a Federal court in Chicago
issued an injunction to restrain
Debs from leading men into a riot,
and Debs is now in jail for violating
the injunction. A Texas court in
Dallas can issue an order to restrain
Corbett and Fitzsimmons from fight-
ing in Dallas county, and send them
both to jail if they attempt to vio-
late the order.
The Houston Age and San An-
tonio Express have fallen preys to
the allurements of Thomas & Co.,
bankers and brokers, of Chicago.
This firm made the Banner a very
fair advertising proposition some
two months ago, and as a reference
enclosed a printed slip purporting
to be a printed copy of a certificate
from the county clerk of Cooke
county, Illinois, to the effect that
they were interested in three differ-
ent transactions of record amount-
ing to about $100,000. After care-
fully reading their proposition we
decided to write the county clerk of
Chicago, enclosing the precious slip,
who replied, stating that Thomas &
Co., had no interest in the property
claimed and that they were fakes.
Texas Farm and Banch very posi-
tively declares that to any but a
lawyer our system of criminal juris-
prudence is an inimitable farce. In
every case we see the State enlisted
on one side and the defendant, by
his counsel, on the other. The sole
object of the State is not to deter-
mine the guilt or innocence of the
defendant, but all the power of her
lawyers is exerted to convict. The
defense is equally enlisted in the
task of clearing the accused. Neither
side has for its object the deter-
mining the guilt or innocence. The
State exhausts her power in an ef-
fort to prove the defendant guilty,
while the defense has for its object
to prove him innocent. Under suoh
conditions is it strange that justice
is rarely doneT
tariff reform.
William L. Wilson, author of the
i present tariff law, writes to the New
York World as follows:
"The country is beginning to see
today there is no way to protect
American industries except by re-
lieving it from the bnrdens upon
materials with which it works; no
way to insure good wages and
steady employment to home labor
except by freeing it from the shackles
which have confined it to a glutted
home market and prevented it from
seeking its customers all over the
world.
"It is, first of all, gratifying,
therefore, to see the progress al-
ready made upon our manufacturers
in reaching for the world's markets
with temporarily diminished exports,
chiefly in food products, in no way
due to recent tariff legislation. We
beheld in a single year an increasing
volume of manufacturers' products
sent abroad. Years ago it was truly
said by a republican secretary of the
treasury that if all our manufacture
ing plants ran six months at their
full capacity they would glut the
home market. For the next half of
the year there would necessarily be
slack work or even idleness, with
slackened employment and uncer-
tain wages for labor.
The conquest of foreign markets
now implies ability to hold our own
market against competition from
without. It means broader and
more stable basis for manufacturers,
which in turn carries operatives and
more home consumers for the farm-
er, who is also relieved from the
burden of maintaining industries to
buy from him. In a word, the more
self-supporting industries we have
the greater and more diffused is our
general prosperity, the more non-
self-supporting industries we have
fed and maintained by taxation, the
smaller and more lopsided becomes
that prosperity."'
A Louisville dispatch of the 4th
inst. announces the withdrawal of
Hon. S. B. Buckner from the race
for United State Senator. The
General States in his withdrawal
card that in many legislative dis-
tricts the personal interests are ar-
rayed against party success and that
candidate supposed to be favorable
to him are nevertheless a target for
opposition in the party. He says
that, untrammeled with any candi-
dacy of his own, he can the more
earnestly urge the support of the
whole democratic ticket and advo-
cate the platform of principles as
construed by every member of the
party at the time of its adoption.
Helen H. Gardener's summing up
of the campaign of legislation on
the protection of young girls—the
so-called "age of consent" question
—is one feature of the September
Arena that will be sure to attract
the widest attention in the three
States dealt with in this issue. 3he
treats of the legislation secured,
raising the age of protection in Col-
orado, Nebraska and Missouri, and
the full reports of the proceedings
will afford both those in favor of the
movement and those opposed to it
an opportunity to weigh the argu-
ments pro and con.
An official count shows that there
are nearly 50,000,000 silver dollars
stored in the national mint at Phila-
delphia, and one of the papers of
that city says that "all efforts to get
them into active circulation have
been futile." Facts Of this kind
make demands for more silver coin-
age ridiculous.—Coleman Voice.
Suppose the government ^rould
pay this 50,000,000 dollars on sal-
aries and pension claims? ^would
get it into circulation witnuTless
than thirty days. The fact that the
government is borrowing "gold" to
pay "coin" obligations while its vaults
are bursting with silver is causing
the people to do a lot of thinking.
Facts like these show the utter
fallacy of the gold bug arguments.-—

Erysipelas
Has been my affliction from childhood.
It Wbb caused by impure blood and every
spring I was sure to
have a long spell
and my general
health would give
way. Doctors did
me but little good
and I became de-
spondent. Last
spring erysipelas
settled in my eyes
and I became total-
ly blind for several
weeks. Hood's Sar-
saparilla was recommended and after tak-
ing one bottle my sight gradually returned,
my blood became purified and I was
restored to good health. With Hood'sSar-
saparilla one is well armed to meet any
