BRENHAM DAILY BANNER
J. o.
Proprietor.
Saturday Morning, December 8
The present seeBion of congress
expires on the 3d day of March.
Oklahoma wants admission into
the Union as a full-fledged State.
The United States issues nine
kinds of currency and still the popu-
lists are not satisfied.
The American people will not be
likely to take kindly to the idea of
third^time presidents.
Missoubi has a hen that flies
around the yard instead of walking
as a*well-behaved hen should.
During the pauses in its work the
House should take up the Anarchist
exclusion bills it left on its calendar
when it adjourned.
It is to be hoped that the official
returns of the late Tennessee elec-
tion will be announced at least in
time for the inauguration.
Thebe is nothing truer among in-
telligent and free people than that
"the best government is the govern-
ment that governs the least."
China has people enough in num-
bers to overpower the rest of the
world, if they were not such "people
as they are. Noses don't count over
there. _
A poruLARjtsuper8titution will be
confirmed by the announcement
that the democrats have elected ouly
thirteen congressmen from the
northern states.
Outside of the necessary appro-
priation bill, it is likely little legis-
lating will be done by the present
congress, which will adjourn on the
4th of next March by action of law.
The poor poet is still twangling
his lyre over the death of Oliver
Wendell Holmes. The loss of the
poet was great enough that such
persecution might have been spared
the mourners.
Tubkey has prohibited American
newspapers from being circulated
there. This cuts off very few of the
Banner's subscribers, as its circular
tion is limited there, inasmuch as
very few of the Turks read English.
The story of Mrs. Alberti ad-
ministering poison to ber five
children in Galveston is one of the
most sickening in the annuls of
crime. She cooly admits the crime
and says she is willing to hang for
it and she should be.
OOTTON MILLS IN THE SOUTH.
The Austin Statesman says:
'■Texas is the largest cotton state in
the Union and yet it is permitting
Georgia and North and South Caro-
lina as well as Alabama to geMlbead
of it. in locating textile manufactor-
ies. South Carolina outnumbers all
its Southern rivals in spindles by
35,793. North Carolina is building
more mills than auv other State,
according to the Chattanooga
Tradesman. South Carolina has
three mills with over 50,000 spindles
while the largest number of spindles
in North Carolina is 30,000. Geor-
gia has nine mills with 10,000 to 25,-
000 spindles, six with 25,000 to 50,-
000 spindles and one mill with 500,-
000 spindles. North Carolina has
fourteen mills with 10,000 to 20,000
spindles and one with 30,000, spins
dies.
This is a reproach to the greatest
of all cotton States, and now that
we have harnessed the great water
power of the Colorado with our
dam, let us enter into this rivalry in
building cotton mills.
AT A. & H.
Grand Clearance Sale of Entire Stock.
Every item in every Department of our large stock has been
reduced in price to insure its sale. Don't miss this Sale.

Cleveland calls the method by
which legal tenders can draw gold
from the treasury gold reserve con-
tinuouely an endless chain. The
trouble with the endless chain is
that it would end by destroying the
country's credit.

WHOSE PLAN IS IT!
It would be interesting as well
as pertinent to an important public
issue to know the true paternity of
the new scheme of finance which
promises to be the central feature of
the proceedings of the present con-
gress. «
It was first brought to the atten-
tion of the world through the Balti-
more clearing house; then the
national bankers' association, which
met at Baltimore, took it up, heart-
ily endorsed it, and appointed a
committee of its wealthiest and most
influential members to lobby for the
measure with this congress. Next
Mr. Cleveland's young man, Eckels,
whose experience as a financier prior
to his present employment as comp»
troller of the currency consisted in
wrestling with the problem of mak-
ing both ends meet as a young and
inexperienced lawyer in a backwoods
Illinois village, came to the front
with an exhaustive report recom*
mending a financial revolution, all
the details of which he had carefully
planned. Then the president fol-
lowed with a blanket endorsement
of the plan, and lastly Comes, recent-
ly, the secretary of the treasury, who
reiterates the recommendations of
young Mr. Eckels.
Now the question is, whose plan
is the Baltimore plan?
Did the president suggest it to
Eckels or did Eckels suggest it to
the president?
Is Secretary Carlisle an echo or an
author?
Is it a coincidence or a contrivance
that the plan recommended by the
bankers' association at Baltimore is
identical with the plan recommended
Did the Baltimore convention
ow when it gave its endorsement
_ osaf that it was backing
up in line with the administration at
Washington?
