BRENHAM DAILY BANNER
J. O. KAN KIN, Proprietor.
Sunday Morning, !Aug. 12.
Thi Wyoming Democrats have
nominated a full ticket and declared
for free silver.
Thikteen persona were killed and
twenty-nine wounded in an earth-
quake recently at Naples.
Hos. W. H. Cbain was nominated
to succeed himself in Congress from
the Eleventh District and Cleveland
and all his views were endorsed.
Gov. Hooa proposes to attend the
convention and says he sees no
reason why it should not pass off
quietly.
The Flatonia Argus says that
' what shall the harvest be," would
be a very appropriate song at the
opening of the convention at Dallas
next week."
Ob Coiey is charged with hav-
ing realized a clean 96,000 out of
his "on to Washington" tramp, and
abandoned his army and "left them
in soup."
The Congress tariff conferees
desecrated the Sabbath by holding a
conference last Sunday. If Congress
had done nothing worse than this
the country would be in imminent
danger of loving it. for its sins.
Geo. C. Pendleton was nominated
for Congress at Waco for the Sev-
enth District Thursday, and both
sides were willing to make conces-
sions on the platform, which strad-
dles the silver issue.
The Marlin Ball states that Col.
Wm. Cameron, of Waco, the Texas
lumber king, has joined the repub-
lican party, and was offered the
nomination for governor by tho
Lilly Whites but declined.
The following item from the
Seguin Enterprise is very timely :
Thirty-one years ago last Wednes-
day Gen. Sam Houston died. His
tomb at Huntsvills is a disgrace to
the Stale and it iB hoped that some
public move will be started to erect
suitable shaft thereon.
The Henderson News thinks debt
is sometimes a necessary thing for
the farmer, and one of the means by
which he may achieve more quickly
an ultimate success. But debt, and
particularly a mortgage, should al-
ways be entered into with the ut
most caution.
The Henderson News puts the
question thusly: "It may be that
President Cleveland is wrong about
tbe tariff, and that bis plans will be
thwarted by tbe six or eight demo-
cratic senators who are protection-
ists; but if he is wrong more than
nine tenths of the republican party
are in tbe same fix."
The Chicago Times thinks that
"tbe irresistible logic of events will
compel the early assumption by
government of the ownership and
oontrol of inter-state railways.
Whatever such a step might bring
the results would not be more inimi
cal to all interests than are tbe
conditions which to day exist."
Thi Columbus Citizen says: "Mr.
Culberson is the only candidate for
governor who advocates the main-
tenance of the Confederate home at
tbe expense of tbe State, and it is
an offering of affection and gratitude
to disabled heroes of the lost cause.
All old soldiers and their friends
must honor him for bis views upon
this matter."
The Houston Post says: "A
populist paper says if some men are
poorly clad it is because some others
bare more than tbeir share and then
proceeds to abuse tbe government
for allowing such a state of affairs.
Tbe government guarantees to its
subjects tbe power to eat, drink and
elotbe themselves, but it doesn't
propose to furnish tbe food and
raiment for a men who has allowed
some other fellow to get his share.
The provident and improvident are
treated alike by the United States."
The Baird Star seems to have
•olved the equality question, at
laaat to its own satisfaction, in tbe
following paragraph :
"All men are born free and equal
is a favorite saying of the third
party orators. In one sense this is
true, bat in anotber it is not. If all
men were born free and equal, why
do they not remain ao during life?
Some men are gifted with more in
tellect than others. Then in one
sense all men are not born equal—
intelligently at least. Then some
paeo are lazy—they are born tired,
while others are fa11 of energy and
get-up aod-get. The latter accumu-
wealth and knowledge, while
i former gets left in the suds, and
~ s tarns reformer and wants
ve industrious brothers to
divide ap with Jwb- I
THE SENATE'S INNOCENCE.
The committee appointed by the
United States senate to "investi-
gate" the current charges that sena-
tors were engaging in speculation
in Sugar trust certificates has pre-
sented a report exonerating every*,
body—even Quay, who confessed
that he so speculated, and McPher-
son, who admitted that his servant
girl conducted a little deal in sugar
for him.
There is no reason for any vio-
lent astonishment because of this
report. It is only what was ex
pected. The ways of the United
States senate are too devious for
any investigating committee made
up of senators to introduce the pub-
lic into them. A searching investi-
gation would daub with mire some
of the most distinguished seats in
the senate. The committee saga-
ciously stopped at the danger lino
and protected tho reputation of the
senate at the expense of its own
reputation for good faith.
A good thing about an official in-
vestigating committee is that it sel-
dom finds anybody guilty ; the pub-
lic never attaches tho slightest im»
portance to its verdict of not guilty.
Nobody will believe that the sena-
tors havo refrained from speculation
ia sugar whatevor the committee's
report. The report is not in ac-
cordance with the evidence ob-
tained and there was no effort made
to get the evidence which would
have been really convincing.
Perhaps tho best rule hereafter
will be to lot the house investigate
the senate and tho senato investi-
gate house. But who—oh, who—
shall investigate the cabinet which
contains Olney ?
is christianity losinc cround?
Mr. Felii Adlor, in the Forum, as-
serts that there are many thousand
and tens of thousands of men and
women at the present day, whom the
Church for ono reason or another
does not reach, on whom the teach-
ings of religion have lost their hold.
And in this class of persons are in-
cluded not only many eminent pro-
fessors of science, many leading
writers and artists, many of those
practical men who havo achieved
commanding success in commercial
snd industrial pursuits, but multi-
tudes of the working-class, especially
in our large cities. It has long
ceased to be true that religious ill-
difference is confined to the so-called
upper class. It has gained ground
and is daily gaining more and more
ground among the people generally.
The times have mightily changed
sinco Goethe wrote his famous
aphorism, "He who has science and
art has religion; he who has not
these two—let him havo religion."
Even the first of his two statements
is truo only of the select few among
the followers of science and art, of
those rare personalities to whom the
love of truth and beauty has become
an over-mastering passion. The
great majority of so-called scientist
and artists are mere craftsmen, de-
void of all high idealism, and derive
no religious equivalents from their
daily work. The second of his
statements, whereby he remits those
who have not science and art to the
care of the churches, has even to a
greater extent lost its point.
Should tbe China-Japan trouble
be prolonged, it may be that John
Bull, who is now selling arms and
equipment to both beligerents, will
be forced to call a halt. John is
probably tbe shrewdest man to day
on tbe globe in detecting a trade
balance. He insists that these bal-
ances shall be all in bis favor. From
certain countries he imports, to
other ho exports. In both instances
be wants the controlling voice.
Should this contest between the
Chinese and Japanese be long*.con-
tinued, the effect would be notice-
able in England, especially as affect-
ing the price of tea. China has ex-
ported to England in one year $30,-
000,000 of various commodities,
chiefly tea, silks and straw platting
for hats and wool. Japan exports
to England copper and rice. In
1890 England sent into China and
Japan goods to tho value of $53,000,-
000. From this it will be seen that
the British manufacturer and con-
sumer are very interested spectators
of this Oriental conflict.

Thk United States paid to the
builders of tho Minneapolis $402,500
for extra speed above the contract
requirements made by that bont on
her trial trip. 1' or each quarter
knot a warship can mako on her
trial trip above the required speed
tho Government pays$50,000. Tho
United States has learned lessons
from her success in the war of tho
Revolution and in the war of 1812
that other countries havo not ex-
tracted from their failures. The
highly reputed "clean pair of heels"
stood John l'aul Jones in good stead
many a time and the privateers in
the war of 1 Ml2 often had to cut
away guns to escape English squad-
rons that would have chewed them
into small bits if their speed had
matched their armament. The ship
that can choose its or;n time for a
tight has the first, element of victory
on its side.
The auuual reunion of the sur-
vivors of Koss', Graubury's and
Ector's brigades and Douglas' bat-
tery was held Tuesday in the music
hall at the Dallas fair grounds. The
attendance was small, less than a
hundred veterans answering to roll
call. Tho principal address was
delivered by Hon. S. W. T. Lanham,
of Weathcrford, and was a tributo
to tho Confederacy, followed up
with a spirit of reconciliation and
devotion to tho country. Ho said
that ho did not desire to bo called
colonel, as ho was only a sergeant in
the Confederate army.

Tho light wheel problem, which thi.l
year more than ever is absorbing tho
attention of cyclists, is a pretty difflcnlt
one to solve satisfactorily. Everybody
wants to ride a light wheel, but every-
body does not want to ride one that will
not stand the pounding of a rutty road
or an occasional tumble. Wood rims are
being extensively ridden, but they are
not as strong as metal rims and never
can lie. A great many wheels that weigh
from 18 to 24 pounds are being ridden
over all kinds of roads this season in
Brooklyn and out on Long Island, and
a large percentage of them are coining
to grief. The rider of one has to tie as
careful of his mount as if it were a del-
icate raco horse. Universal uso of feath-
erweight wheels will scarcely come until
the roads are far better than they aver-
ago today. England has had tho light
wheel craze and has got pretty well over
it. American wheelmen like tho light
machino and don't want to give it up.
Hence they are crying for good roads
and accomplishing much iu that direc-
tion. It is maintained by many good
riders that over an ordinary road a 30
pound wheel is easier and faster than a
20 pounder because it is steadier and
does not loso way in bounding over a
hummock or a rut There are many who
predict either 1*iter roads, or a return
to heavier wheels r< :.t y ar, or else a
