More War.

The Eastern question is be-
coming quite Interesting at this
time. The latest dispatches say
that England and Russia are vir-
tuaIly at war, and that Aus
tria is daily becoming more dis
satisfied. The Press Association
says IT is understood Admiral
Hornsby has been instructed to
force the Dardapelle with, if
necessary, his whole fleet offront
clads. The British Cabinet
held a long council. Grand
Duke Nicholas has teiegraphed
the Porte the Russians will en-
ter Corstantinople, if the Brit
ish feet enter the Bosphorus
From present appearances the
prospect for gigantic war are
imminent. England has assum-
ed a position from which she can
not recede without humiliation.
Should q war between these
great powers enEne the Tur-
CO. Russian war will dwindle in
to insignificance.

Tho Papacy.


The election OF q successor to
Plus TX will attract universal
attention. The papal throne
is the ambition OF nearly all
the cardinals. 1t clothes him
who occupies it with absolute
power over the consciences' OF
millions. There are more than
25O,00o,o0 Roman Catho-
lies in the world, and
presents him to the eyes of his
sub ects as the vicegerent of
God. His edicts cannot be re-
sisted by the church. The col.
Iege of cardinals will soon ele-
waite one of its number to that
lofty position. The probability
is that an old man will be eles
waited to tie position, as by that
means a new election will be
rendered necessary 10 a few
years. The cardinals will not
permit a young man to obtain
the throne, and thus destroy the
hope that all have OF obtaining
it for themselves.

No penitentia,y.

A few States have no peni-
tensiaries- Georgia is among
the number, and her people are
entirely content to remain with
out one. The eonvicts are
hired out for what they will
bring. The present price is s11
3 year, the person hiring being
bound to feed. clothe and
gnard the prisoners at pres
ent about eleven hundred con-
viets are employed on railroads,
farms and mines. Ths labor
of convicts in the majority OF
States does not yield as much,
the conyicts being a dead ex-
pcnse to the State. The prob
lem in most States is to make
their penitentiaries selfsup-
porting. When this is accom-
plished it. is considered that a
great point has been gained, as
it relieves honest people of the
burden of feeding, clothing and
guarding class OF persons who
should be made to earn their
living.

SILVER RESUMPTION.

The st. Louis Repu5licaa says
the difference between resump-
ton in silver and resumption in
q ID is Just this: Resumption
on a single gold basis means
two per cent. addition to all
existing debts, while on a gold
and silver basis it means four
per cent. deduction from all
debts. A greenback dollar is
worth about SO cents in gold at
tais time, while the quantity of
silver necessary TO make dol
lar is worth about 81 cents, so
that as near as an estimate can
now be made the greenback dol
lar is worth about 4 cents more
than the quantity OF silver the
law defines to be q dollar. This
is only an approximate state
ment Of the exact relations OF
the three kinds OF dollars, silver,
paper and gold. If silver was
e. \
remonetized, resumption would
be an accomplished fact. Taking
silver as a measure OF values,
as it should be, the paper dollar,
then, Is really passing current
among the people to-day at
sI.o4, aud it is perfectly plain
that there would be no rush to
the treasury to exchange green
back for silver dollars, it it were
announced that on and after
day silver dollars would be
exchanged in any sums wanted
for greenbacks. There is no
idea Of dispensing with paper
money, and no one irnagines
we are going to abolish all paper
currency to use silver. We
want only enough silver dollars
to enable anybody to pay d, bis
in silver if they want to, and
when that is the case every
body viii prefer gold, SO that
it will take d very small
amount OF silver to, back re-

FAT CATTLE AND HOGS.

The Dallas Herald says the
farmers have money in their
pockets and plenty in the barns,
cotton sheds and houses. This
state of affairs it may not be
amiss to remark is brought
about BY diversity Of crops.
In Northern Texas the farmers,
in addition to making a crop OF
cotton, raise wheat. oats. rye
and barley, with of course the
usual crop OF corn. The con-
sequence is that they have some-
thing saleable on hand at al
most any season OF the year.
In Southern Texas, where cot
ton is the chief, if not the only
crop, the majority OF farmers
are "hard up" ON an average
of about nine months in the
year.
We notice in many of our
exchanges that farmers in this
section of the State are begin
ming to pay attention to raising
cattle tor beet, and are feeding
them on corn, hay, etc. A
farmer residing in the neighbor-
hood OF Nelsonville, Austin
county, "a few days ago sold
f,urteen head of tat cattle, re-
alizing a handsome price. The
Giddings Lone Stas OF last week
reports the sale OF another lot
OF fat cattle, probably light
weights, at an average OF thirty
one dollars a head. The Column
bus Citizen reports that over a
Thousand head OF fat beeves are
now for sale in the neighbor-
hood of Weimar. In Victoria
county a large number OF cattle
have been sold for shipment to
New Orlean- and Havana. Fat
cattle are in demand at all sea-
sons OF the year, and always
command ready cash. In Wash
ington county we raise a large
surplus of corn, which, because
Of. the excessive railroad tariff, is
not worth more than twenty
FIVE or thirty cents a bushel,
ard when shipped neither the
producer or the merchant ship
ping it realizes any profit.
The railroad gets most OF the
proceeds TOR transportation.
Recent Improvements in pack
ing houses in the northern cities
now enable them to kill and
cure pork in midsummer as
well as in the winter season.
Many Of the packers kill the
year round. In consequence OF
this arrangement there is al
ways a demand Tor fat hogs,
and farmers market them as
soon as they are in order for
the slaughter pen. The day is
not far distant when the tariff
on railroads will be reduced, so
that hogs can be proftably
shipped from this part of the
State to St. Louis and Kansas
City.
