BRENHAM DAILY BANNER
J. O. RANKIN, Proprietor.
Tuesday Morning, February 26.
Three Bolid weeks of winter in
Texas is a cool novelty.
The water lillie of Louisiana
threatens to become as great a
curse as the Russian thistle.
Kansas has made it a penal of-
fense to gamble, and as a result
several church fairs have been de-
clared off.
Tu Denison Herald scores ''Dun-
can Clark's Female Minstrels and
urges the press to give the notice
publicity.
Is there more sorrow over the
death of Ward McAllister than
there would have been over the
that are left.
The Californians are almost solid
ly in favor of the annexation of
Hawaii. San Francisco's trade with
Hawaii is very large.
Tbs California Legislature lias
passed a bill regulating the Lours of
labor in the logging camps, and
otherwise protecting the laborers.
The Reichstag at Berlin has
passed by an overwhelming majority
a resolution iu favor of calling a
new international bimetalic con-
ference.
Houston is having considerable
trouble over her paving contract.
Several of the tax payers have on
joyned the city council from paving
the streets.
The proposition for more naval
ships is before congress, notwith-
standing that the government is
without ordinary revenue to rueet
current expenses.
California has passed a law that
would be popular but for the fact
that it usurps a sumptuary light. It
is to prevent ladies from wearing
hats to the theater.
Let us accept the present situa-
tion and work for general pros-
perity. No political party will ever
make laws that will aid very materi-
ally unless the people get a move on
themselves.''
Ex-Gov. Lkwellino says that ho
is neither going on the lecture plat-
form nor move to Texas, but will go
on a farm near Topeka in the spring
and earn an honest living. He also
declares that he is out of politics.
Bill Cook will have an oppor-
tunity of doing atl the reforming he
desires as he has full forty«iive
years. He said when he was capturcd
he was trying to get away from the
scenes of his lawless career that ho
might reform.
Li Hcxo Chano has set out sadly
on his way to Port Arthur to sue
for the privilege of unconditional
surrender. It is hard to realize
that he was once as great a man as
President Cleveland was during a
part of his first term.
Now that the cold weather has
passed, Capt. Kolb again appears in
the political horizon and threatens
to raise hades by the grace of God
in Old Alabama. Gov. Oates is
equally positivo that if Kolb mon-
keys with the buzz s.iw he will get
hurt.
The Texas Farmer says: "Our
children cry for bread." was the
inscription on a banner which was
carried in a procession of 18,000
people in Chicago the other day.
The procession moved to a grove
res tod, and drank 1400 kegs of beer!
Comment unnecessary.
The aews comes that the Em-
peror of China has restored to Li
Hung Chang his decorations and
dignities and commissioned him to
negotiate a peace with Japan. The
HOW THE COLD COES
The following showes very cleary
how the coin in the United States
Treasury Las been drawn out and
where it has gone to:
From the resumption of Bpecie
payments iu 1878 up to 1893, a
period of fourteen years, the redemp-
tion of Treasury notes averaged less
than $3,000,000 a year, though the
exports for the same period averaged
about $35,000,000. But in 1803 the
raid upon the Treasury befjan, and
it is interesting to note the part
which the Treasury notes of 1890,
issued under the pernicious and
panio-breeding Republican Silver-
Purchase act, played in tho matter.
During the year# 1893 and 1894 and
for the seven months of the present
fiscal year the redemption of Treas»
ury notes demanded in gold has
amounted to $294,000,000. Of this
amount the Treasury notes of 1890,
issued for silver and redeemable
under the law iu ailver at the dis-
cretion of tho Secretary of the
Treasury, have drawn out gold as
follows: 1883, .*10,781,000: 1894,
$10,599,900; seven months to Feb.
1, 1895. $5,393,000—nearly $00,000,
000 iu all.
The exports of gold for the last
two years and seven months have
been $243,553,150. This is $51,000,
000 less than the redemptions for
tbe same period. The hoarding aiid
speculative objects in the more recent
raids are plainly indicated in the
figures showing that for the seven
months ending Feb. 1 tho gold with
drawn from tho Treasury amounts
to $107,474,000, while the exports
were only $57,899,000. Tho differ
enco of $50,006,000 represents what
the bankers have taken from the
Government for the purposo of
forcing further bond issues profitable
to them.
Is it strange that C'ongross refuses
to authorize a specific gold loan for
the benefit of these gamblers'
The first clause of tho Adminisi
tration bond contract is animated
by the old Spanish idea that no
matter how gold is got into a coun-
try from abroad it is a gain in
wealth, and that in order to remain
forover wealthy a country has only
to find some successful way of
hoarding gold, However they may
differ on other points, well-in-
formed economists are agreed that
this idea hail moro than anything
else to do with degrading Spain
from the first commercial power in
Europs to what it is now.
Thk Austin Statesman says:
Major Joe Sayers bobs up very em-
phatically in congress whenever a
questionable appropriation in these
hard times comes before congress
for action. The other day tho navy
appropriation bill was before the
house and when tho item of $4,000,-
000 for the threo new battlo ships
sprung up tho major also sprung up
with a motion to strike it out, but
it was lost by a vote of 5G ayes to
12ft nays. Joe was not in it that
time.
.—■ ■■ ■ ■
An exchange says: "We have
read that it is a custom of tbe
Chinese to either pay their debts at
the beginning of the new year or
kill themselves. The first part of the
custom is certainly worthy of imita-
tion. However, wo would not recom-
mend tho latter oven to tho poor
fellow who is up to his eyes in debt
but, instead, a delibarato purpose
and well laid plans to endeavor by
next new year to follow the Chinese
example of paying up at almost any
hazard.

ratoran diplomat is obviously better
fitted for this work than for the
management of a war. His success
will depend upon his capacity for
aarrendering.
Thi London Statist now conde
Mends to say that "United States
bonds yielding 3J per cent, and run»
ning thirty years are an exceedingly
good investment." That sounds
well enough now, but how long will
it be before the entire London press
will nndcriake to force another issue
of thees same desirable bonds by
taking the gloomiest possible view
of American credit ?
Guatemala and Mexico have be-
come reconciled after a narrow
Mcape from war. The patriotism
•nd pugnacity of the dangerous
elements of the population on each
side were so aroused that the least
mistake in deplomacy would have
praeipitatee violence through which
Guatemala might have been ruined
•ad Mexico disgraced. At the pres-
ent stage of cirilization the war
> u highly unsafe.
The Austin Statesman says :
Three millions of song birds were
sacrificed last year upon tho altar of
woman's beauty for the adornment
of her hats. If kind hearted
women, and they are all kind heart
ed, would only think of the sweet
music given us in every woodland
and field by theEe feathered choris-
ters they would discourage the
fashion of adorning their head gear
with them. It is like killing the
goose that laid the golden egg.
The newly married editor of the
Conroe Courier announces the event
thus : "Of course when it falls to a
fellow s lot to write a notice of his
own marriage, it would seem a little
out of taste for him to indulge in a
lengthy explanation upon the
charms of his bride or his own noble
traits of character; however, we
think this a happy alliance and sin-
cerely trust there will be no third
party disturbance in the organi-
zation.''
'The Immortality of the Soul."
The Methodist church was crowded
Hutulay to hear the pastor in charge
Rev. \V. Wimberly, preach from the
subject, "Tho Immortality of the
Houl."
He look for bis text, "If a man die
shall ho live" again, the question pro
pounded by the Psalmist anil an
swered it from a scientific standpoint
in an argument that was conclusive
The sermon was replete With inter
estlng scientific facts and a powerful
and indisputable argument that the
soul is immortal. The very fact that
the idea exists in I lio minds of all na
tions civilized and uncivilized was
cited as a confirmation of the fact.
The sermon was listened to with
marked attention and wan unques
tionably able, as well as edifying to
the large and appreciative audience.
From such a sermon with the ligh
of research it showed one could but
draw the conclusion that we are born
for a brighter destiny than earth. It
caunot be that our life is a bubble
cast upon the ocean of eternity to
float another moment upon its sur
face, and then sink into nothingness
forever. Else why is it that the high
and glorious aspirations will leap like
angels from tho temples of our hearts
and forever wander abroad uusat
isfied ?
Tho rainbow aud the cloud come
over us with a beauty that is not of
earth aud pass to leave us musing on
their fading loveliness. The stars
bold their festival around the mid-
night throne, and to teach us immor-
tality are set above the grasp of our
limited faculties, and arc forever
mock In}'- us with their unapproacha
ble glory.
If earth was man's final abiding
place why is it that bright forms of
human beauty are presented to the
view, and then taken from us, leaving
the thousand streams of affection to
How back in an Alpine torrent upon
our lives? There must be a realm
where the rainbow never fades
where the stars will spread out be-
fore us like the islands that slumber
on the ocean, and where the beautiful
things that here pass before us liko
visions, will stay iu our presence
forever.
