THE MURDERER's STATEMENT.

81 had tried to persuade her that night
to leave this shameful life, which l was
shocked to find her leading. l had begun
to feel happier, for l thought she would
leave that house. l was willing to for.
give her, for loved her 80 much, and
knelt down and prayed God to help me,
and begged her to leave the house, to
come with me at that minute, that
would get her nice place to stay in un-
til she could get place to live in fam
lily as domestic, and to be virtuous girl;
that could give her up, but l would
rather be in my grave than see her a
harlot. She said she loved me more
than any other person in the world, but
she had commenced to lead that kind of
a life, and she would always follow it,
and if 1 would not leave her l could
share her wealth with her. But / told
her no, l could not be 30 wicked and
hsrd-hearted as to live off her prostitu.
tion, and l did not know what /
had done that she should throw herself
away in that manner. She said "No-
thing that she loved me and always
would; that she could never lay any
blame on my shoulders, that was alway
kind to her, but she had gone that far,
and she would alway lead that kind of
life. | just wore myself out talking to
her. My brain was on fire, and | had to
tie wettoWel around my head and keep
it there all night. In the morning she
was lying fast asleep, and leaned over
the pillow to imprint q farewell kiss on
her lips and as did soft awakened her.
She then threw her arms around my
neck and asked me If was going, /
said yes, and she kissed me and / bid
har. .aood bye forever.

Dan Rice.

% The Brenham BANNER attacks the cir
Gus and declared that .''Dan Rice has been
dead and buried for twenty years" The
BANNER is mistaken. The great moral
Snowman has busted two or three times,
but still lives.-Galveston News.
In this case the Weacs is mis-
taken as regards the BANNER.
The BANNER never said that
Dan Rice was dead or buried
either; on the contrary it has
strenuously insisted that Dan
is alive. 1t never kills any one
unless it has every assurance
that the party will stay killed.
The BANNER is very jealous of
its reputation for truth. 1t was
another paper that killed and
buried the moral Snowman. All
well regulated newspapers have
sins enough to answer for with
out being accused of killing live
men, and attacking moral
Snowman" like the world-re-
nowned Dan Rice. In this
connection it may be stated
that the veritable Dan Rice with
his moral show gave exhibitions
in this city on Wednesday and
Thursday, and that Dan fully
maintains his well established
reputation of giving only first
class entertainments.

The spring elections in New
Jersey were full of political sig
ni6cance. Foriinstance, in Jer-
sey City. the republican gains
were made in all the local gov
eminent boards. Nobody can
dispute that this is an indication
of the coming republican tidal
wave, which is to sweep the
confederate congress out of
Washington. And then, again,
in Railway, a democrat is cleo
ted mayor over the present re-
publican incumbent, and the
council, last year republican. is
now a tie. This also indicates
but, an the whole, probably,
it isn't worth while to draw con-
clusions. In some localities the.
indications don't quite confirm

enterprising young merchant of
Mastering, Alabama, who was
here on a visit to relatives.

was tempting. In the evening
there was a pleasant party at

The Colorado CihSeN still in
sists that Columbus is a better
cotton market than Brennan.
The facts in the case hardly
supports it. BRENNAN has re-
ceived this season upwards of
5000 bales of cotton, while
Columbus has not received
more than 1900 or 1900 at
the outside. The GhceR says:
Zone of our merchants receives
account sales of cotton from
Brennan daily and furnishes us
with the facts" What in the
world is zone of our merchants"
sending cotton to BRENNAN for
if it is worth from a quarter to
half cent more in Columbus?
People will haul their cotton
where they can get the most
for it and buy goods cheapest.

The Bonham Neacs and Mexia
Ledge, are endeavoring to get
up a Weekly press Organiza-
ton. The latter paper suggests
a meeting and names Bryan as
the most suitable place. A
meeting Of the editors and pro-
prietors of the weekly papers
would certainly do no harm.
One thing is certain and that is
no uniformity of rates for ad-
vertising can be established,
each paper is governed by its
immediate surroundings and its
circulation; what might be a
big price for one paper would
be very small for another.
Some papers take patent medi-
cine and sewing machine ads.
to fill up, while others who have
a liberal home patronage do not
take them at all. In the matter
of politics each editor has his
own peculiar views; nearly all
are democratic, but on matters
of policy In state or local mat
tiers there must of necessity be
a variety of opinions. These
opinions being independent
can not be harmonized unless
human nature can be changed.
If however it is deemed advisa-
Bile to hold the meeting no
harm can result and some good
may be accomplished.

A FRoNTiERsMAN ON THE
MULE.-One of the Bishop
Brothers herders, a .bronzed
frontiersman, whose face is
shaded by sombrero with a
brim of the 3 broadcast. and
whose constant companion is a
blaek-snake whip, which he can
crack with a report like a rifle,
relates many anecdotes OF
mules, with whose habits and
capabilities he, is thoroughly
conversant. He says: when
you get on the plains you don't
want nothing better'n a mule,
and you can't get nothing bet
ter for plains work. They can
live on less and lay themselves
down to more honest hard
work than any ether critter of
their size. Why, stranger, a
mule kin run down an antelope,
and l never see any of your
long-legged' American horses
do that. Mustangs do it some
times, but a mules the best.
He won't be so very speedy,
maybe, but he's got the bottom,
and though the lopeln git away
from him at first, and perhaps
histe hisself clear out of sight,
the mule II tucker him out and
tucker him in the end, if he's
kept on the trail long enough.
Mules amt no slouches on the
track sometimes, too. Mules
will live, too, on what. a, horse
would starvebefore he'd touch.
They'll grow fat on sage brush,
and I've known EN- to live and
work for weeks by chewin' on
each others names ald tails and
wagon-tongues, feed-boxes,
wagon sheets, sand and SIGH
stuff Oh, you bet, a mules
tough. "-Colnan's Rmai Worid.

HAD Governor Roberts been
the especial champion Of the re-
publicans and greenbackers of
of Texas, he could have done
nothing to please them better
than the veto of the school ap-
preparation. They are in ex-
tacies of delight over it. 1t will
be used as the imperial bower"
in the next campaign. The
Austin platform declared in ia
vor of public schools, and the
legislature made the appropri-
alton in good faith. The de-
mocracy will have to disabuse
the minds of the discontinued
in the subject of public schools.

A CONTINUOUS cry is raised
over the oppression Of tax pay
'ers. The al valorem tax it is
said,is as high or higher than can
be borne The general tax bill
passed by the legislature, taxes
everything and everybody ex-
cept preachers, teachers and
politicians. The politicians
should be made to pay the
heaviest occupation tax. Mer-
chants are taxed from S. to $500.
Every drummer from other
states is required to pay $500
to the state. Sewing machine
agents, lightning rod and clock
peddlers are not forgotten. The
consequence of these enormous
occupation taxes is an increased
charge for goods or services, so
the people after all are made to
pay indirectly.

THE Galveston Meas has been
busy through its correspondents
in interviewing prominent indi-

1t has found many who approve
of the veto, but few who direct
ly favor the stoppage of the free

expressed is that the state
should confne its expenditure to
its receipts, or in other words
live within its income.

A SUBSCRIBER at Indepen-

THE Austin Capital. a green
back paper, is in high glee over
the governors veto of the school
and interest appropriations. 1t
evidently looks upon them as
one of the best things that could
have been done for the further
ance of the party which it rep
resents. While we do not ap-
prove of the vetoes we are not
prepared to admit that the dem
ocratic party will be in any ma
terial degree weakened by them.
We are not disposed to impugn
the motives of the governor,

The best of motives-the good

schools will be maintained, and

will be paid, the Capital to the

New Party.

The Mexia Ledge, is of the
opinion that two worthless (?)
N. A. Taylor and J.. NJ Thur
mond are endeavering to bring
about disruption of the DEM
ocratic party in Texas. Taylor
is not democrat, and perhaps
never was one; during tile last
state campaign he edited a 4x6
semi-occasional greenback pa
per at Houston. Thurmond is
perhaps as near or nearer to be-
ing nobody than n. A. Taylor,
who is in bad repute in this con-
gressional district because of
his repeated Misrepresentation
of the sentiments of the people.
Whilst he was ostensibly favor
ing Hancock. he was in reality
working in the interest of Wash
Jones. Ifthe new party has no
better material to putin the lead
than N. A. Taylor and J. M.
Thurmond, it certainly is in a
bad way. So far as the deraoc-
racy is concerned there is. but
one course to beipursued, and
that is for them to adhere strict
ly to the old party lines and
party principles. 1.-THE democ-
racy of Texas allow internal
dissentions to grow, it had about
as well sell out to the republic
cans on the best terms it can
make, but we feel satisfied
there is no danger of this.
