The Carp.

The Scientific American for
June Goth contains an interest
ing article on the Carp and its
culture The carp is a new
fish in American waters, it hav-
ing been imported from Ger
many by the United States fish
commissioners some three or
four years ago. They have
been distributed for stocking the
water of nearly all the southern
states including Texas and also
in New York, Kansas, Missouri
and Nebraska. The carp has
been domcsticated in China for
thousands of years. Their
growth is marvellous. OF the
original fish imported by the fish
commission, and which are now
only about three and a half
years old, are some that are
from twenty-five to thirty inches
in length and weigh from four
to eight or nine pounds. The
carp thrives best in artificial or
natural ponds with muddy bot
toms, and such as abound in
vegetation; they also do well in
shallow water and live or all
kinds Of food; they may be fed
with the refuse of the kitchen,
vegetables or grain. They are
very prolific and can be raised
as readily as chickens or pigs.
AS a food fish they are highly
esteemed and are regarded as
among the best. The carp
seems TO afford a thorough So
luton of the fish question.

\ Suggestion.

Let our next legislature wipe
out the bell punch law; restore
the Sunday law to its former
proportions upon the statute
books, and require all legal sales
of real estate to be advertised,
newspaper men and the public
at large will not only be conten-
ted, but will be happy.
The obove from one OF the
best papers in the state, the
BRENNAN BANNER, is good
enough, so far as it goes; but
one important item is left off.
The legislature should provide
a way for taking the sense of
the people of Texas in regard
to establishing the whipping
post. We would be glad to
hear from the BANNER on that
subject. The measure has
many warm supporters in this
section, and would be adopted
by Il very large majority, if a
vote could be had. The repre-
scntativcs from this and Delta
county voted for it at the last
session of the legislative, and
in doing so they fairly represen-
ted the sentiments of our peo-
pie. We sometimes hear the
cry of ancient barbarism," but
come right down to the people
who pay the taxes and support
the government, and you will
find that they favor the whip
ping post. They see how many
criminals are fattening in our
palatial jailS, while they are
footing the bills, and they have
grown tired Of it.-Paris North
Texan.
THE BANNER has Tor several
years been al advocate of the
whipping post, and it regards
the suggestion Of the North
Texan as one worthy of the Sc
rious consideration of all tax
payers. The laws in regard to
petty thefts, as now administer
ed, are very expensive and are
unsatisfactory III the result.

The Austin Statesman, edi-
torially, seems to rejoice over
the fact that Galveston's popu-
lation is only 1900 instead of
10000 as had been recklessly
claimed. 1t also chuckles over
the idea that the completion of
the Texas and New Orleans
railroad will further reduce Gal
vestons population and bust
ness. Texas is growing state
and there is plenty Of room for
every city in the entire state to
grow and prosper without any
conflict of interests or petty
jealousy. Austin has been
claiming population of 1900
to 10000. The enumerators
find only 1900, which goes to
show that Austin is given to
exaggeration in the most exag-
gerated form.

ST.. LOUIS has for the past
four or FIVE years claimed a
population of over half d mil
lion. The census enumerators
place her population at about
400, 900 and the citizens and the
newspapers are fairly boiling
over with indignation. They
insist on haying a half million
inhabitants and threaten to
burn the census supervisor in
cfigy and would perhaps for a
very trifling consideration burn
him in ..the flesh. He is a re-
publican and an unpopular man
on general principles. Nearly
every city and town in the Uni
ted States has fallen far short
of its estimated population.

Sunday Law.

The Waco Telephone de-
votesa column to Lang and the
Sunday Law" 1t compliments
Mr.. Lang upon having the NOR
al courage to speak out boldly
and plainly about the present
Sunday law and to condemn it
as puritanical and impracticablc
saying it is contrary to the gen.
ius of our people. The Tele-
phone says that neither Savers
or Roberts have said a word in
regard to the law, although it
is understood that he is oppos-
ed to it.
At the time the Sunday law
was passed the press of the
state very generally expressed
its opinion, by far the largo i
portion of it being opposed 10
the law as it now stands. The
Sunday law as it stood befoA
it was amended, was ample
all practical purposes and
general satisfaction. Then
none, no matter what mt
their individual convictions
religious affairs, who woulGdo
aught to disturb religious wor-
ship offend the feelings of
those who go to church. n
suspension of all business from
9 AN. to 4 P. NJ. gave general
satisfaction and it is believed
would do so again. As the
matter now stands the Sunday
law is no more honored in its
breach than in its observance.
Such is the case in Austin
where the chief executive and
other state officers reside.

The claim put forth by re-
publican papers that Garfield is
exceptionally strong in Ohio
does not bear the test of fact.
In 1874 he ran $500 votes be
hind the republican candidate
for secretary of state; in 1876
he received 1913 votes less than
the state ticket, and in 1870
Foster received 476S votes
more in the district than Gar
field received in 1873. 1t is in
the western res erve that Gar
fields friends claim for him his
greatest strength, and in the re-
serve he has steadily run be-
hind the republican ticket since

The News says that governor
Roberts having wheeled into
line on the education question,
might take another step to the
front and change his policy in
regard to immigration. The
governor is quoted as having
said that he didn't want any i'm
migrants brought to the state.
Texas has a vast territory of
undeveloped arabic land as well
as untold mineral resources, all
of which need developing; I'M
migration is one of the most
pressing needs of Texas at this
time. 1t is likely that governor
Roberts will change his mind
in regard 10 immigration before
the state convention meets.

Hanged.

S. S. Howard was executed
at Bastrop on Friday for the
murder of Alexander Farmer,
in Bastrop in May, 1873. A
special to the Houston Post
says Farmer was perfectly calm,
and stolidly Indifferent to his
fate. He ate a hearty break
fast and dinner, and talked and
laughed, being in as good spir-
its as at any time since his I'M
prlSonment. At I o'clock he
was taken from the Jail. He
declined making any statement
in regard TO the murder, but de-
MED killing Farmer. At I:I5
the drop fell; the fall was about
seven and d half feet, and his
neck was instantly broken.
Howard died without the bene-
fit of the clergy and made no
expression as to the hereafter.
The murder for which he Was
hanged was one of the foulest
and most cold-blooded in the
history of the country.
