FRIDAY MAY 81. IBM.
Bosque county votes on looal
option on the 8th o( June.
The populist state press asso-
ciation has been in session at
Fort Worth this week.
The prospect is that the prioe
of oats will rule high. Tho crop
north is much damaged.
The Comanche Chief is urging
upon that town the nooeesity of
a system of water works.
A FELLOW whom the law has to
tone to pay an honest debt is
one you want to look your hen
roost against.
The prohibition election in Mo-
Clennan county has boon order-
ed for June 13, and the fight is
now on in great shape.
The commissioners’ court of
Comanche oounty has ordered
Jat ttie prohibition election in
fat oounty Itake place on June
The supreme court has decided
that the inoome tax is unoonsti-
Ptutional, What is the matter
ter with changing the constitu-
tion?
Carnegie has raised tho wages
of hit employes ten per cent.
This in the face of a tariff reduc-
tion made last fall, is tough on
McKinley and the republicans.
Dallas is making a hard pull
to secure the populist national
convention of 1896, and have
a fair show of success. It will
very probably nominate Nugent
for president.

Coryell oounty is to hoi

court on tho 13th inst. Cass
county has her election ordered
to take place June 1.
A BOOM haw been started by the
republicans for Kx- Vice Presi-
dent Morton us the presidential
nominee of his party next year.
Harrison has also gotten his
boom under headway.
The democratic state oxocutive
committee mot at I'allas Monday
and decided to throw tho settle-
ment of the party’s position on
the finance question upon the
people in their primaries.
Wheat has made a big rise this
week, anti is quoted at 75 cents
and above. Flour has likewise
made a big advance. Damage
to crops by the late cold weather
is the main cause of tho rise.
At tho ‘ ‘sound money’ ’ con-
vention at Memphis last weok
less than half a dozen Texans
wore in attendance. This isn’t
a very enthusiastic showing for
the friends of the single standard.
A CALL has been issued for a
meeting of the free coinage of
silver people to be hold at Mem-
phis June 12 and 13. A great
many senators and congressmen
will attend. It is predicted that
it will be a great occasion.
In tho recent city and town
elections in North Carolina, the
old time democratic majorities
prevailed and the populists were
not in it, although the last legis-
lature changed the charters of
many of tho towns so as to give
the populists an advantage.
Walter Q. Gresham, secre-
tary of state, died at Washington
at 1:30 Tuesday morning. He
was a good man and had shown
much wisdom in the administra-
tion of his department of the
nation’s affairs. He came up
from the humbler walks of life.
Dallas, Tarrant and McClen-
nan counties are to have local
option elections soon. He vs.
Sam Jones and Sam Small will
be in Texas to tako part in the
great fight. In addition to the
above counties, there are quite a
number in different parts of the
state where the fight is on.
There is no personal liberty in
tho saloon lioonse, hut tho voting
of a license is voting a monopoly.
The matter of a license shuts out
every poor man who hasn’t the
8625, giving the wealthier indi-
viduals a monopoly. There is
equal rights about it. Pon-
■ over this, before you vote to
the wealthy a privilege the
in can’t take advantage
Are speoial privileges and

by an exchange aa saying* ‘They
that bow the wind must reap the
whirlwind. Hs that pursues
evil ways must ooms to ths end
thereof.” Nothing is truer, and
this is sne of the Empire’s rea-
sons for favoring prohibition. If
a community sows liquor and
saloons it will reap drunkards,
poverty, orime and human suf-
fering in multitudinous forms.
If saloons in a town did no other
wrong than the fostering of one
or more public bawds who ruin
the young men of the oommunity
that one thing would be sufficient
cause for all good people to want
them banished. No one oan
deny that in this way, as well as
by drink, some of our otherwise
most promising young men are
ruined, the worth of any one of
whom is not to be estimated by
the dollars of revenue to the
town, oounty and state.

An Object Lesson.
A good, honest farmer
was
standing in front of the court
house yesterday looking mourn-
fully at his tax receipt. He said:
’ ‘I brought a bale of eotton here
five years ago and sold it for
$49.50. With this money I paid
my tax, $22; got my wife a dress
$5; shoos for my children, $6; a
barrel of flour, $0.50; fifty
pounds of sugar, $4; ten pounds
of coffeo, $2; and wont home
happy with $3.75 in my pocket
for the preacher. I brought in a
bale today, sold it for $22.50;
paid my taxes, $22.25, and have
a quarter loft. They tell me I
can got frocks, sugar and shoes
for half I paid then, but it ’pears
to me I haint got the half. I’ve
about made up my mind to in-
vest this qjarter in Unitod States

standard. ’ ’—Birmingham(Ala.)

Prohibition in Dublin.
The Dublin Leader was a very
strong anti-prohibition paper
during tho election in that town,
and until recently. It sees that
it was mistaken, and that prohi-
bition does not hurt a town,even
when only fairly well enforced.
We are glad to see it make the

conclusion that, while it has
been the ‘‘howling’’ success it
was hoped for by its advocates in
the late oleotion, yet it is a suc-
cess to that extent that the
writer would not cast his vote
against it were the opportunity
presented now. Our reason for
opposing local option heretofore
was because we aid not believe it
a success under any oiroum-
stances, and that, looking at it,
too, from a commercial stand-
point, it would be an injury to
the towns adopting it.
Prohibition has been reason-
ably successful in Dublin, and
we do not believe that the trade
interests of the town have been
hurt to any great extent,if at all.
The city’8 exchequer may be a
little lank from the absenoe of
saloon tax money, but when it
comes to filling up our treasury
with money at the expense of
morality, we are bodily and po-
litically opposed to it, and there-

To the Hon. J. 3. Straughau, Judge of
the 29th Judicial District of Texas:
The grand jurors einpanneled at the
April term, A. D. ,1895, of the District
court of Erath county, Texas, hereby
submit this, their Anal report:
We have been In session continnonsly
for five weeks, and in obedience to onr
oath to ' ‘Inquire into and true present-
ment make of all offenses against the
penal laws, " have returned one hun-
dred and eighty-three indictments—fif-
ty-three being for felonies, and one
hundred and thirty being for misde-
meanors. A large per cent of the latter
lieing for violation of the local option
law.
In our inquiries we have examined
six hundred witnesses, and in two in -
stances have been forced to place the
witness in jail and have him fined by
the court in order to compel him to tes-
tify to facts within his knowledge.
We have examined the jail, and find
that the inmates are properly eared for
and humanely treated, hut we find that
the jail is badly In need of prolan- vontl-
lation
We have, through a committee, ex-
amined the county poor farm, and find
it in excellent condition nnder the effi-
cient management of the superin ten
dent, L. D. Moore.
We have had to take notice of and
examine a great many violations of law
that the justices of the peace could have
examined, and of which offenses they
had original and final jurisdiction. We
find that while some of the justices of
the peace have been active and vigilant
in the discharge of their duties, others
have been derelict, thereby causing
great expense to the county on account
of said offenses being investigated by
the grand jury.
We hereby return our thanks to the
judge, and the district and county at-
torneys for their kind assistance at all
times when so requested.

short of the intended time. The
measles entered the oommunity
about six weeks ago and have
been raging ever since. The
attendance was thus out down so
muoh that the board of directors
thought it best to formally dose
the sohool.
The past year was a very suc-
cessful one for the sohool, and
those who looked upon it in the
beginning with doubt are now
realizing that it is a sucoess.
The enrollment reached one hun-

number about fifty were young
men and ladies who are striving
to get an education by their own
efforts, and all the world knows
that suoh form the most energet-

and girls are going away with
the expectation of teaching, but
all say they are ooming back to
sohool again.
