SICK HEADAcHE.-This complaint is the
result of eating too much and exerting too
little. Nine times out Of ten the cause is in
fact that the stomach was not able to digest
the food last introduced into it, either from
its having been unsuitable or excessive in
quantity. A diet of bread and butter, with
ripe fruits or berries, with moderate, contin-
uous exercise in the open air, sufficient to
keep up gentle perspiration, would cure al
most every case in short time. Two tea
spoonfuls of powdered charcoal in half a
glass of water, and drank, generally gives in
slant relief We are inclined to think that
the above remedies may do in some, but not
in all cases. A soverei gn remedy for this
disease is not easily found. A correspondent
contributes the following on this subject: Sick
headache is periodical, and is the signal Of
distress which the stomach puts up to inform
us that there is an over.alkaline condition Of
its fluids that it needs natural acid to re
store the battery to its normal working condi-
tion. When the first symptoms Of head
ache appear, take teaspoonful Of lemon
Juice fifteen minutes before each meal, and
the same dose at bed time follow this up un-
til all symptoms are passed, taking no other
remedies, and you will soon be able to 60
free from your unwelcome nuisance. Many
will object to this because the remedy is too
simple, but have made many cures this way.

THE Great London Show ex-
hibited at Fort Worth on Friday
last. The Democrat says the
liberal use of printers ink en-
sured a large crowd. Adver-
tisers should make a note of
the way circus people do bus
mess, and when they have any
thing to sell advertise it. Of
the show itself the Democrat
says "Messrs. Cooper, Bailey
&Co. deserve credit for giving
the public full value of their
money and exhibiting show
which fully realizes the expec-
tations raised by the advertise
ments." The BANNER is fully
satisfied from the commenda-
tons ofthe state press that the
show is all that is claimed for it
and that none who go to it will
be in the least disappointed.

a GALVESTON saloon keeper
informs the Nca0s that but few
bar-keepers pay any attention
to the bell punch, only turning
it when asked to do so by Gus
toners. The novelty of the
bell punch has worn off and it
is safe to say that ba :ely one
half Of the drinks sold will ap-
pear of record on the face of
the punch. Those who do the
drinking Will not trouble them
selves to see that the drinks are
recorded and thus after the first
payment on oncupation tax no
more will be realized by the
state no matter how many or
how few drinks may be sold.
We repeat our prediction that
the bell punch as source of
revenue will ultimately prove
a stupcndous failure.

The Corsicana Mdex and the
Observer are to be "hyphen-
ated.' Both were creditable
county papers, but deviding
the patronage neither could do
well. The consolidation of
the two will result in a better
paper than either could be made
singly and will doubtless be
to the advantage of the proprie-
tors and patsons ofboth papers
Where papers are too plenty
the proprietofs do a starving
business financially, and the pa
pers do starving business in a
mental way. A nine column
paper won't pay in five column
town and d town that is able to
support one good paper can

PEOPLE VS. RAILROADS.

Railroads and railroad man
agement is not entirely salts
factory to the people, although
the people and the railroads are
NATURALLY dependent upon each
other for success, there is no
community feeling existing be-
tween them. Railroads as a
general thing are monopolies,
nearly always so except at COM
peting points. The products of
the farm furnish a very large
portion of the business of the
railroads and the producers are
made to contribute most heavily
to their support in the way Of
heavy charges on local freights
and for local passenger tariffs.
In most instances where rail-
roads have been built, except
perhaps, in new countries the
the people living along and con-
tiguous to the line of the road
have contributed literally, in
proportion to their means, and
in justice should have some
concession made in their favor.
Those who contribute to the
building of railroads through
the country or to a town do not
and should not expect any di-
rect money return for their con-
tribution or investment. They
are however amply repaid in
the enhanced value of their
property and by the facilities
for marketing the products of
the country and convenience
travel. There is no reason why,
where there is so much mutual
dependence, the railroads and
the people should not be on
good terms; that they are not
is painfully evident AT the re-
cent meeting of the Missouri
State Grange, held at Sedalia,
Mo-, the following action was
had:
Resolved, that the Missouri !
State Grange express the al
most unanimous wish of the |
farmers OF Missouri in urging
upon the next legislature to
pass a Railroad Regulation
Law which shall be plain,
strong and effective in protect
ng the rights and interests of
he people, while at the same
line it is just, fair and properly
to the railroads.

the Sierra Majado mines. The
United States vice consul at
Piedras Negras writes that the
duty on horses irrespective of
value is $50; on farm wagons
500; on spring wagons $50; on
saddles FIVE per cent. Mares,
mules and stations are free.
The Rnald says late advices
are to the effect that there has
been rain on the desert; that
new mines are being discover
ed; rich ore OF all sorts in abun-
dance, but no machinery of
any sort has been erected.

GREAT SHOW LIGHTED By ELECTRICITY
Three Big 0iruus Tents = Bright at Night as a.

This great Circus, Museum,
Menagerie. Aquarium, Aviary
and Calisthenic Exhibition will
exhibit at BRENNAN, Thursday
Nov. the 9th.
1t is new wrinkle to apply
the electric light to show tents,
Perhaps the first time the new
illumination has been applied to
a place ofamusement was when.
last night, the three big circus
tents of The Great London Cir
Gus. Sanger's English Menag-
erie of Trained Animals and the
famous international Allied
Shows combined, Cooper, Bal
ley & Co., proprietors, at
Broad and Wharton Streets
were filed with the bright glare
of lamps and lit up with the
softness of midday.
The rapid pumping of an en-
CINE is heard as one passes
the ticket man. Its this engine
of thirty-fve horse power that
drives the machine from which
comes the electricity. All the
paraphernalia necessary to pro-
duce the light is built upon a
large wagon, constructed espec-
tally for the purpose, and this is
to be "toted'' around the coun-
try for show purposes. The
machine is the largest of the
kind yet made, and its success
in these tents is regarded as
quite an advance toward the
general introduction of such
lights in amusement halls,
The electricity is conducted
from the machine to the lamps
by reveral large cables made of
seven strands of No. 10 copper
wire, covered with a layer Of
gutta percha, which is in turn
covered by plated cotton.
One light is equal to 5000
candle power, or nearly 200 gas
lights and is cheaper by seven
ty-fve per cent, than gas or coal
oil. By varying the speed Of
his engine, the engineer can run
from one 70 seventeen lights,
and the lamps in any of the de-
partments can be turned off at
will and without interfering with
the arrangements in the other
departments. This is a most
decided improvement, and is
far ahead of anything that now
exists in Europe. For the want
Of this secret the people of
France or England have been
forced TO use machine Tor each
separate light required.
Cooper, Bailey & Co, have
secured the exclusive right to
use the light for travelling pur-
poses. and aside from scientific
interest, which attaches to the
illustration of the progress thus
far made in the use Of electricity
for lighting purposes this new
idea will prove an attraction
more likely to draw than even
the many complete depart
ments of which this vast combi-
nation is composed.-RAila-

THE Mexia Ledger says it
seems as if some Texas news
papers would take anything in
payment for advertising space
in their columns. Whenever a
Washington patent agency ad.
appears in country newspaper
and that paper publishes Wash
ington letters from "our own
correspondent" that letter is of
the patent right persuation and
that newspaper is paid for that
advertisement in those letters.
The letters are as valueless as
the advertising space in the pa
pers publishing them.

10 SOuiSS. INiliiiiS quill Siiiii-
inals loose is a mockery of JUS
tice and has tendency to bring
courts and law for the punish
ment of crime into disrepute.
1t seems from this case that
the governor has no regard for
the wishes ofthe people-if he
had, he would have made in
quiry into the propriety ofturn-
ing Jameson out. The convict
labor is leased2and the lessess
of the penitentiary want none
but able bodied men or skilled
mechanics-boys Of Io or there
abouts are neither skilled nor
able bodied, consequently are
Improbable to the lessees. 1t
is matter of dollars and cents
with them; they care nothing
for the moral welfare of the
young scoundrels sent there.
An exactly opposite case from
this county may be cited in
proof Of the position assumed
above. Christopher Krentz
was sent up about a year ago
for two years for the killing of
one lander. Krentz had al
ways born good character; he
was an honest, quiet Industrious
man of sober habits, and a large
number of influential citizens of
the Burton precinct petitioned
the governor for the pardon of
Krentz- TWAS pre-emptorially
refused. Krentz must have
behaved exceedingly well, as
he is now a "trusty" and works
at. a hotel in Huntsville, with
out any restraint whatever.
Krcntz has a large and almost
helpless family, who, since his
conviction have been more or
less dependent upon public char
ity. These facts were fully set
forth in the petition for pardon,
but Krentz being a useful hand
to the lessees they would not
recommend his pardon.
The governor has already
made an unenviable reputation
as a commuter of the sentences
and the pardoner of thieves.
In pardoning Sam Jameson he
maintains his reputation. As
the BANNER has heretofore TAX
en- occasion to say, 1t does not
impute the motives of the gov
ernor nor question his honesty
yet we cannot but think he has
committed another Of his grie.
vious errors in the exercise of
executive clemency.

THEY ARE DEAD.


THEY ARE DEAD.
While the BANNER is perfect
~ free to accord every one the
fullest freedom in his political
opinions and to accord honesty
Of purpose to politielc oppo-
nents in matters of principal, it
has been wholly unable to di-
vino any cause for the green
back movement in Texas, I'M
less it be that they were work
ing in the interest OF the repub-
lican party. Taking this view
of the matter it has said some
rather hard things Of the Texas
greenbackers. 1t has no per-
sonal feeling in the matter and
respects the individual members
of the party as men. 1t ID
its subscription lists a nj
of men who belong I
greenback party and
number of republicans,
their personal politics it 6s
nothing to do, all references ap
ply to partiess in general and
not to any individual as a men,
Der of the party. What has
been said of the greenback and
the republican party i'll regard
to state and county politics has
been said honestly and with the
view to promoting the best in
terests of the community and
the people generally. We make
this statement in order that our
motives may not be misunder-
stood by such of our readers as
do not belong to our political
faith.
To all intents and purposes
the greenback party is dead,
dead. The late election in Ohio
killed it; as an issue in politics
it is as dead as julius Caesar.
In the Iowa election held at the
same time as in Ohio the green
back vote fell off nearly one
half. Everywhere except in
Maine it has been steadily los
ing ground and can now no
longer be considered as a factor
in the political arena. Resump-
ton of specie payments is an
accomplished fact and by it the
financial question is disposed
of. The result in Ohio is an
emphatic endorsement of re-
sumption. No more inflated
currency, but gold and silver as
the baris Of trade in the United
States is what a majority of the
people want. Resumption be-
ing accomplished the occupa-
ton of the greenbacker and the
soft money democrat is gone
glimmering. To make party
issue something besides the
question must be involv-
ed. SO soon as the Texas green
hackers are satisfied that green
backism and fiat money is an
imposibility and a thing of the
past, we ask such of them as
have heretofore been democrats
to come home and join the good
old democratic camp, while the
republicans will of course go
back to their first love.
