BRENHAM DAILY BANNER
J. G. RANKIN, Proprietor.
Sunday Morning, July 16.
Beware of the counterfeits of the
World's Fair souvenir half-dollars.
One shipment of frozen salmon
from Oregon to Chicago weighed
thirty-nine tons.
A c.ibl of seventeen in Russia was
rescued after fifteen days in the
snow with no food except a little
bread.
As an evidence of the corruptness
of the pension system under Harri-
son, a pensioH was granted for
baldness.
The issue of circulating notes by
banking institutions, either State or
National, is not now and never was
in favor with the Democracy.
Tolstoi has divided his large prop-
erty among his children, that he may
be a poor man, the better to exem-
plify his principle of equality.
The Corbett-Jackson prize fight
has been postponed until June 1894.
This gives each of the contestants
time to work his reputation for all
it is worth. _
The will of Bishop Ames has been
broken by a grand-daughter, after
fourteen years perseverance, on the
ground of fraud. The estate is
worth $150,000.
The Evening Star is a new journ-
alistic venture at Dallas. C. E. Gil-
bert, late of the Times-Herald, is the
editor aod business manager of the
new venture.
Now that South Carolina's dispen-
sary has been declared unconstitu-
tional, the question arises what is
that State going to do with its im-
mense stock of liquors now on hand.
The Starr gang have been at work
in Kansas again. Thursday they
robbed the bank of Mound Valley.
Tieing and gaging the cashier they
took all the money in the vault,
about $600.

The St. Louis Chroincle says:
"Whenever Grover Cleveland ad-
mits that silver coin is lawful money
as good as gold in the payment of
debts, as the law says it is, then the
stringency will cease."

These are nearly 5.000 unemploy-
ed in the city of Indianapolis, while
San Francisco warns all who are
seeking employment to give that city
a wide berth, as there is a great
overplus of labor there.

The Victoria Times says: "Port
Lavaca is in the swim jut>t now clear
up to her ears and is establishing an
enviable reputation as a great sum-
mer resort. The place is crowded
with visitors, and the great rush
continues._
A Texakkana editor has been
fined $25 for criticizing the commis-
sioners' court. If the Texas rail-
way commission could work that
scheme, says the San Antonio Ex
press, it would soon make the floor
of the State treasury sag down like
a small boy's pocket in green apple
time.

The San Antonio Light thinks it
high time that the political parties
of this country diverted their atten-
tion from party supremacy as the
chief end of their creation and di-
rected it to National advantage and
the benefit of the people. There
may be no money in this course, but
there is lots of profit to the country
in it. . |t|
The Las Vegas, New Mexico, Op-
tic says: The dying vegatation, for
the lack of rain, is nothing compar-
ed to the condition of stock on the
plains. Cows are deserting their
calves to die in their mad hunt for
streams or pools of water. Even a
hard-hearted Las Vegas butcher was
sickened at the sight he saw, near
town, the other day. In some in-
stances he could scarcely refrain
from killing some dying calves that
lay by the roadside.
the financial question.
The Hon. J. B. Henderson, ex-
United States Senator of Missouri,
has addressed a long letter to Secre-
tary Carlisle on the financial situa
tion. The writer is a man of ability
and has given the subject full and
thorough consideration. In com-
mon with other statesmen, he ad-
mits that money matters are in
bad shape, and that they have been
made so by unwise legislation. Mr.
Henderson proposes to tear down
and reconstruct the whole system.
He gives the details which he thinks
necessary to arrive at the result
which all desire. He would stop
the coinage of silver, sell the bullion
on hand and at least half of the
coined dollars for gold, recom the
balance into subsidiary coin and
make it legal tender for $10 or less.
He would have the Government sell
gold bonds to the amouut of at least
$300,000,000, redeem the green-
backs and destroy them, pay off and
cancel all the Treasury notes given
for the purchase of silver, upon the
bonds issued by the Government
and upon other approved securities
authorize national banks to issue
currency redeemable only in gold.
To embody the scheme in a single
Sentence, Mr. Henderson would
have the entire money circulation
consist only of gold and national
bank currency.
This, the Cincinnati Enquirer
claims, is not an intention of the ex-
Senator which entitles him to a
patent. While not so openly and
boldly advocated, the banking frater-
nity on both sides of the Atlantic
are intent upon accomplishing that
end, and every act of Congress in
regard to silver and Government
notes has had in view the building
up of a colossal banking system.
Daniel Manning, Cleveland's Secre-
tary of the Treasury in his first Ad-
ministration, himself a national
banker, proposed to apply the sur-
plus money in the Treasury to the
redemption and cancellation of the
greenback currency. He declared
the Government paper was a perpe-
tual menace to a sound financial
system. This is Mr. Henderson's
view af the subject, and the issue
of Treasury notes for the purchase
of silver bullion and the gold and
silver certificates upon the deposit
of coin are an additional menace to
a safe financial system, and hence
he proposes to wipe out every
species of money and currency ex-
cept gold and bank notes. He would
convert the non-interest-bearing
greenbacks into interest - bearing
bonds, which banks can use as a
basis for issuing currency.
We do^ not know how strongly
inclined Secretary Carlisle may be
to adopt the views of Mr. Hender
son, but we hope and believe that
he is too sound a Democrat to com-
mit himself in favor of any kind of
bank currency, Federal or State.
We are well aware that both parties
are divided on this money question,
but we do not hesitate to say that
a very large majority of intelligent
Democrats are in favor of a circula-
ting medium furnished exclusively
by the Government; that it is a
function of Government to supply
the people with money and currency;
that it is a function which connot be
transferred to individuals or corpor-
ations. Whatever may have been
the position of any of the party in
the past, it is now positively a unit
in favor of the greenback currency,
and would vote to substitute it in
the place of bank notes of any kind.
If President Cleveland and Secre-
tary Carlisle, who now haye the con-
fidence of the masses of the Ameri-
can people, wonld destroy that con-
fidence and knock the Democratic
party into smithereens, let them
champion the financial legislation
recommended by Mr. Henderson,
briefly outlined herein. They may
recommend the gold standard, the
demonetization of silver, the repeal
ot the silver purchase law, stop the
issue of coin certificates, and still
maintain the autonomy of the party;
but let the leaders of the Democratic
party clothe bankers with the power
exclusively of furnishing a paper cir-
culation, convert the greenbacks
into interest-bearing bonds for bank-
ers' use, and the party is disinte
grated. If there is any profit in
supplying the currency the whole
people should enjoy it. National
bank notes are safe and good only
because they are based on the credit
of the Government. Greenbacks
have the same basis of credit as
national bank notes. Thirty-nine
hundred bank corporations consti-
tute a dangerous power, and the
only limit to their selfish greed is
the issue of Treasury notes by the
Government, which limit it is pro-
posed to remove. Increase the num-
ber and enlarge the power of these
corporations by giving them entire
control over the currency, and pop-
ular government is in peril.
the treating habit.
The Auston Statesman is ferninst
the "treating habit," and asserts that
war upon the habit is spreading all
along the line. Some papers are
propounding the query—why should
a man treat another to a cocktail any
sooner than he would to a pair of
socks 1 Drinking is a social habit,
and when a man wants to enjoy so*
ciety fully he begins to drink and to
invite others to drink with him.
Very few men love liquor for the
mere taste in drinking it. They
crave social enjoyment and the social
glass soon puts them in a condition
to laugh earnestly and immoderately
at the most antiquated chestnut. If
social reformers want to accomulish
any good in suppressing the drink
habit they have gone at it in the
right way by attempting to break up
the habit of "treating." It makes
more drunkards than any one thing.
Many men who are in the habit of
taking several drinks a day might
never become drunkards, but by
meeting others of the same habit
and then begin a round of treats
emphasizing the jokes that are told,
and before they know it all of them
are intoxicated; whereas, if each of
them had gone into a bar room by
himself and taken a drink and gone
out there would have been no intox-
ication. The suppression of the
habit of treating would soon sober
all men.
A tabiff to promote special inter-
ests without reference to Govern-
ment revenue will not be much
longer tolerated by the thinkkg,
patriotic people of this country.
Revenue to classes as a basis for
tariff legislation, will not command
in the future the support of those
who believe in equal rights. There
is a very large and constantly in-
creasing number of voters upon
whom the party harness sits very
loosely, and who are ready "to kick
out of the traces" on the slightest
provocation. In economic ques-
tions there is of late a vast amount
of independent thinking and some
other recommendation than that the
candidate belongs to the Republi-
can or Democratic party will be re-
quired to command the suffrage of
intelligent voters.
The recent Fourth of July cele-
brations were the most successful
in the history of this country. We
know this, because more men, wo-
men and children were killed than
before. The toy revolver was

especially accurate and deadly.
Deaf a ess Cannot Be Cured
by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portions of the ear. There is
only one way to cure deafness, and that is by
constitutional remedies. Deafness if caused
by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining
of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube
gets inflamed you have a rumbling sound of
imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely
dosed deafness is the result, and unless the
inllamation can be taken out and this tube
restored to its normal condition, hearing will
be destroyed forever; nine case? oat of ten
are cawed by catarrh, whioh is nothing bat an
inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give one hundred dollars for any
case of deafness (caused by catarrh) that
cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh Core.
