Our Flag in the Pacific.
On the 12th the American flag was
raised over the Hawaiian Islands, and
henceforth they are as much a part of
our domain as Maine or Texas. By a
special providence, it would seem, our
flag also floats on islands further along
toward Asia, and we have effectually
broken with the past and stand forth

Timid souls have taken fright that
the American Eagle should be auda-
cious enough to fly out to sea, but it
is all over now, and some of us have
sufficient faith to believe that it
means a mighty uplift for the whole
world—that Liberty enlightening the
world is something more than a statue
at the entrance of New York harbor.
And we can be prepared for ye?
er achievements. The Nicaraguan
canal will soon be an accomplished
fact, and a mighty commerce will be
on the seas under American protec-
tion—a great navy will follow as a
matter of course. Ordinarily th6 ar-
gument would be good that we should
stay at home and mind our own bus-
iness, but the trouble is that the
geography of the world is undergoing
a great change—Russia and Britain
and France and Germany are becom-
ing felt forces in the Pacific, and we
must meet them on equal terms or
suffer humiliation. So that it is not a
matter of choice altogether—great re-
sponsibilities have been thrust upon
us, and not to meet these with sublime
courage and heroic fortitude is sure

serfdom under the star spangled ban-
ner, emblem of equality before the
law. Our fathers thought they were
in the midst of great things—and so
they were—when Texas and New
Mexico and California were added to
the country’s domain, and this gen-
eration was greatly puzzled by the
events growing out of the war ’61-6
But we are experiencing today greateF
events than any heretofore known;
in fact, they are so great that the
Co-Operation Better Than Combination.
The American people have of late
been thinking seriously about their
interests being identical with those of
Britain in the larger concerns, such as
the spread.of the one language, the
one civilization, and the one religion.
But they are naturally averse to ‘‘en-
tangling alliances”—they do not care
to put their democratic institutions in
jeopardy by assuming monarchical
responsibilities even indirectly. How-
ever, they have felt a growing neces-
sity for friendly co-operation, now
that contrary civilizations are com-
peting for ultimate mastery. It is
barely possible, of course, that Slav
and Saxon may blend, ultimating in a
higher type; but whether there be a
peaceful solution of the problem or a
arms, the American people
much at stake, possibly their
very existence, and therefore it is in-
eumbent on them to promote cordial
relations with any people who can be
of material assistance as the years go
by. In an article in the September
Harper, James Bryce, author of the
“The American Commonwealth” and
an Englishman whom our people hold
in high esteem, makes the suggestion
that in free countries like Britain
and the United States the settled mind
and purpose of the people can create
and maintain what is in substance an
alliance. He thus states the case:
“The Monroe doctrine has nev
been formally adopted by Congress.

as fixed ana’ settled principles which
the United States government may be

if, in Britain and America alike, it
were to be established as a principle
that the two countries have interests
virtually identical, that each will en-
tjl^ipr where it fairly and properly

It looks as if Waco is actuated by
greed. All four of the candidates for
congress reside in that city, and the
old town is in the swim, no matter
how the ballots fall. Of course it
may be said that brains and merit are
certain of recognition, and presuma-
bly that will hold good in this case,
but the rest of the district has here-

unnatural.

Mr. Wombal should feel honored in

Hon. Moritz Maedgen died at his
home in Troy on Tuesday. He was
born in Hanover, Germany, August
17, 1830. He landed in Galveston
with his parents in the early part of
the year 1845, and settled on the San
Gabriel river in Milam county. He
served as a lieutenant in Company D,
Fourth Texas Cavalry, Confederate
States Army. In 1870 he came to
Bell county, settling near where he
died. In 1878 he was elected to the
legislature, serving with credit to
himself and satisfaction to his constit-
uents. In 1868 he was married to
Miss Pauliue Lindsteine, also a native
of Germany. Mr. Maedgen was a
member of the Masonic order and also
of the Methodist church. In all of
life’s relations he was faithful and
honest, and goes down to his grave
mourned by all his neighbors and a
large circle of friends.

The News’ Crop Report.
The Galveston N<^ws prints the last
serjj&e-oT crop reports, cov-
ering acreage, condition and yield of
the eotton crop. Tho review is made
up from 419 reports, covering 146
Texas counties and 24 points in the
Indian and Oklahoma Territories.
The report shows the fellowing as
to the yield of cotton:
In the coast district the yield is
about one-half of 1 per cent less than
last year.
East Texas shows an increase in the
yield of at least 15 per cent. That
section shows the best average con-
dition of any section of the state.
Central Texas shows an increase in
yield over last year of 11 per cent.
Southwest Texas indicates an in-
creased yield of at least 10 per cent.
North Texas presents indications
that there will be at least 12 percent
more cotton raised in that section
this.yearaised last year.
“Tii^Tr^^^W^ffnenibndition, with
indications'that Texas will make the
largest crop in the history of the
state
Texas has made the biggest corn
crop in the history of the state.
Wheat shows both an increased
acreage and an increased yield per
acre. There has been a greater di-
versity of crops this year in Texas
than ever before. As a result farmers
have asked for less credit than in pre-
vious years.
Let us hope the Marlin platform
will not mar Democratic harmony.

Dulaney's Yllla Happenings.
It is warm and dry—no prospects
for turnips. The all absorbing topic
is the cotton worm destroying all of
our four cent cotton. The worm ap-
pears to like it as well as if it was
worth ten cents per pound. The cot-
ton worm, the revenue tax, the small
square bale levy six-bits, sampling,
stealage, and shippage will take about
all the old farmer will have left of a
bale of cotton—not enough left to buy
cloth to patch the seat of his pants.
And still the world wags along and
says cotton is the only cash commodi-
ty that can be raised as a certain crop.
John T. Dulaney is diversifying his
crops, and the old buck is trying
buckwheat; says he sowed it for his
honey bees, some now in full bloom
and it being a new thing to them
there has not been a bee seen on it,
and he is trying a little tobacco, al-
though there is none of his family use
it in any way; thinks if he can raise
any thing they won’t eat there will be
a chance of making some money if he
can sell it.
And then he is building a saw mill;
says when he goes to the lumber yard
to get lumber and wants one thousand
feet, takes it home, puts the tape to
it, it will be nearer 700 feet than
1000.
Is at work at his mill at present;
has moved it from the water power
out on high dry land; says he is going
to run it with gas, and is pushing the
work with all energy trying to get
through by the time Mr. J. A. Wheel-

This village ig possessed of the most
ravenous rats yo1 ever heard of. Mrs.
Lokey had an old cat with eight or
ten young ones; the rats killed and
eat the last one.
There is as vicious wolves in the
neighborhood as the rats. Mr. Burns
made headquarters at Mr. J. A.
Wheeler’s, and in making a drive the
wolves attacked one of his hounds;
come near killing him; would have
eat him if they had not been run off—
the wolves and hounds are still here—
the wolves keep the hounds well cor-
relled of nights.
This scribe will retire from the
neighborhood write up, when there is
such an opening after the war is over
in writing up the politics of the coun-
try, if you knew which would be the
popular side—the Rop-o-crats, the
Dem-i-pops or Republics. It takes
very little brains just so you have the
brass, gas, and brimstone, you are all
right.

sensible man knows money saved is
money made.
1. If your wagon wheels are run in
Linseed oil the tires won’t get
loose.
2 If your harness is kept well oiled
with neats foot oil it won’t get dry
rot and be worthless.
3. If your farm implements, wagons
or buggies are kept well painted it
saves many repair bills and stops
that rattling noise and looks like it
just came from the factory.
Paint is a preserver as well as a beau-
tifier and everyone’s verdict is, It
Pays to Paint, and now is the time
to get best results.

This is tiie oldest and best intermediate and preparatory school in this part of the state..
It prepares for university, for professional school, for teaching, and for a successful career
in life for those whose education ends with the academy. It offers a regular teacher’s
course.
It is co-educational; thirty-five young ladies were enrolled the past session, and the-
number will reach fifty the coming year. To the bright, ambitious and studious young lady-
it is certainly a more desirable school than most of the female seminaries with nothing bu
“specialties” and “extras”—shadow without substance.
The school will be conducted in the future as in the past—strictly upon its own merits—-
and under the same principal, all rumors and reports to the contrary notwithstanding.
