land manufacturing town, North
Britain, Conn. contains about
twelve thousand Inhabitants, Elk
or eight churches, has fourteen
trains in and out every day, and
has twenty-five manufacturing
establishments giving employ
mentto upwards of five thou
sand persons. 1t is a model

E The Gonzales Inquire is a
very strong advocate of local
option and judging from the
snake story it tells, it is not at
all surprising that it should ia
vor the Punishment ofnhiskey.
Here is the story: Mrs. Jack
Moore, one day last week, went
into the cellar, and by chance
picked up an empty snuff bot
tie. She lost no time in drop
ping it. The bottle contained
a chicken snake a yard long,
When snakes take up their hab-
itatlon in snuff bottles it is high
time for local option.

TIE Express says the pros
poets for the completion of the
International road from Austin

are Of the most flattering des-
cription. Austin will have to
look well to her,laurels, else she

with only such meagre advan-
tages assbeing the capital of the.

For nearly FIVE years Dallas
has had two daily papers and in
spite of the fact that the town
and country surrounding it has
been steadily growing, experi-
ence has proved that there is
not room for two daily papers
and they have been consolida-
ted. The probability is that
one daily paper combining the
patronage of two will be able to
make a little money. St. Lonis
with populationof over half a
million, supports but four Eng
lish dailies-three morning and
one evening. Louisville, Ky,
supports but one.

The advisory committees of
the house and senate democrat
ic caucuses have unanimously
agreed upon a course of action.
The army appropriation bill IS
to be passed. but will contain a
proviso that none of the money
therein appropriated, shall be
used for pay, transportation,
equipment or substance of any
troops used Tor police purposes
to keep the peace at the polls.
The appropriation for pay OF
supervisors and deputy mar
shals is also to be left out of the
Judicial appropriation bill.

The. Paris Press has been re-
sucitated after being in coma
tose condition for some time.
Paris now has three weekly pa
pers, which is in all probability.
about two more than can get a
reasonable support. Thenews-
paper business is overdone in
Texas and of the three papers
now running in Paris the fttest
will survive. The people as a
general thing are rarely in fault
in their judgement of the merits
of a paper and they invariably
.bestow their patronage upon
the most deserving.

The Austin special to the
Meas gives an account of a
meeting at the courthouse to
endorse the. governors veto.
The meeting was opened by
Col. Elliott of the Gasette, who
made a long speech against the
veto. A series of resolutions
denouncing the veto were adop-
ted. According to the dispatch
the meeting was very slimly at
tended and is described as a
laughable farce. The Gaeette
tells a different tale.

, The democratic members of
the house and senate have de-
termined to pass the appropria-
ton bill inserting such clauses
as will prevent the use of the
army at the polls and the pay
ment of marshals and supervis-
ors reflections. Senator Thur
man says: Does any one be-
lieve that the president will at
tempt to coerce usP Yet this
would be the attitude he would
assume should he refuse to ap-
prove the bill appropriating
money for various specific OBJ
jects, on the ground that it did
not contain an appropriation for
some other purpose.
