Whatever temporary advantage the fusionists
OF Maine may have gained by counting out the
republican majority, they have made blunder
politically. so far as the future is concerned.
That is the feeling amongst cool-headed poll
uc1ans in Washington. The people who have
lost their representation in the legislature will
be certain, when they get another chance at the
polls to express their wrath in a way that the
fusonists will appreciate, and that the democ-
racy will find especially damaging. Maine re-
publicans express the belief that the state will
give larger republican majority next SepJem-
Der then it has ever given in its history.

The British situation in Afghanistan is criti-
cal, and Lord Beaconsfield, apparently, realizes
it. Parliament is to be further prorogued until
some time in February, and a cabinet council
has been called to consider the .'serious condi-
ton of affairs in Afghanistan.' Beaconsfield
means to continue playing his lone hand. or, at
any rate, he evidently does not intend that
Parliament shall either help or hinder him just
now. Meantime the wild and warlike tribes
are gradually closing In upon General Roberts,
whose position at CaDul is not the strongest
The Afghans are threatening Candahar as well
as Cabul, and their numbers are swelling

Brenham weekly banner. [volume] (Brenham, Tex.) 1877-1907, 1879-02-28

The Austin State sman insists
upon the prepayment of a poll
tax as prerequisite to voting
and gives many cogent reasons
for its opinion. An extra poll
tax should be required in all
municipal elections because as
they are now conducted every
loafer in town is hunted up and
taken to the polls to vote for
some brother loafer who is de-
sirous of getting into office.
The BANNER has on several oc-
casions expressed itself in favor
of a poll tax qualification for
voters. A publication of the
ballot box will give purer of
fcers.

fat stock show in December
there were Io4 cattle, Io4 sheep
and seven pens of pigs entered.
At the Leeds show there were
SC cattle entered. At the Smith
field cattle show there were TT
cattle, I56 sheep and 63 pigs
entered. At the Birmingham
show a short-horn four year old
heifer won tie presidents prize
for the best animal of any
breed or age, bred and fed ty
the exhibitor. The most sue
cessful beast Of the occasion,
however, was a cross by a short
horn bull on a polled Scott COW.
10 which was awarded the chal-
lenge cup, together with 2I5 as
best in a series of classes. and
100 guineas as best in all the
cattle classes-say $3.50 cash.
He was a years and 10 months
old, and weighed 1884 pounds.
The first prize steer in the young
er class of cross-breeds was got
by a short-horn bull out of a
Jersey COW, and was as well
grown an animal as any in the
hall. and without a superior for
firm and mellow touch.

Sunday night, eight business
houses were entirely destroyed.
The loss was about 10000; insu-

so demonstrated that kind words
would do more towards Undue

ders and harsh words. If there
is anything the average specta-

it is lending a helping hand
They always go to a fire to look
on and don't like to be disturb

II appears from the Fairfield
Recorder that it costs a consta-
bic but $50 to shoot and kill
a prisoner who attemps to es-
cape. Last fall Julius w. Mar
tin, ex-conSable of Cotton Gin
precinct, killed one Roddy, a
prisoner in his charge, who at
tempted to escape. The grand
jury kindly indicted Martin. for
negligent homicide. He was
tried, found guilty, and fined
$50. The inference is that if
any one. in Freestone county
thinks his life is worth over $50
he had better not try to make
his escape from a constable if
arrested by one.
