AND now the virtuous San Antonio
Herald is grieved beyond measure, and
sway Fl III its little sanctum kicks
itself and silently weeps because the
STATESMAN commended officer Chenne-
vile for not making q "cold, moist
body" out of Bryce at the time he at
tempted to escape from him. 1t wipes
its eyes, however, and smiles benignly
upon the police OF San Antonio, and
consoles itself with the reflection that
had Boyce been in their hands short
work would have been made of him.
Perhaps SC ; but the police of Austin
are not composed of that sort of ma
terial, and when they have man in
charge, no matter how desperate his
character may be, they are too
cool, generous and brave to shoot
him down rs long as they are in no
danger, and have every reason to be-
lieve that they will be successful In
safely placing him in confinement.
They have no desire to have unneces-
sarily the blood of their fellow-men
upon their hands, but should such ever
become necessary, evil doors, whether
resisting arrest or attempting to escape,
will find them prompt and fearless in
the discharge of their duties. ThI
STATESMAN sincerely regrets that the
egui.ibrium of the Herald was dis
turbed, and hopes it may soon recover
and regain its wontsd composure.

On Monday evening, about 8
O'Clock, the shrill sound of a police
mans whistle was heard in front of
the Gambrinus saloon, on Pecan street.
A large crowd soon reached the spot,
and the reporter had difficulty in eff
fecting an entrance into the saloon.
He soon got in, however, and found a
man, whose name he could not learn,
lying upon the floor badly cut about
the head. = He was bleeding profusely,
but seemed to be in a reclining POSI-
ton, more from the effects OF ''fire
cent bug juice" than from the blows.
From all the reporter could learn, he
had filed himself with divers concoc-
tions, and calmly determined to clean
cut the saloon men and all Others who
would step upon his coat tails. He
was ordered to desist and leave the
room, but instead of doing so he I'M
dertook the pleasing task of putting 9
head on the bar tender, who promptly
knocked him down and sounded the
policeman's alarm. He was picked up
and carried to the lookup and the
large crowd dispersed.

The STATESMAN reporter has been
down to look at the new court house and
postofficc building. The style OF archI-
lecture IS a medley of contradictions
and difficult to determine. The report
er is not much up in architecture, but
from a careful survey of the building
he believes the style certainly follows
after that of some of the dresrY, dis
NAL castles of the old Mortimer. 1t is
building that would have blessed be-
yond measure the redoubtable Sergeant
DI'gerty, and nothing would have
pleased that individual more than to
take a chicken bone, piece of biscuit
and sundry other morsels of food and
plain magnificent dykes, morasses and
other schemes of defense to surround,
and turn it into a castle or fortress
that would stand the most vigorous of
attacks. Toe building msy be emil
nently adapted to handling mail bags
aud such matter, but it certainly is not
the style OF architecture suitable for
this latitude. 1t has not got that
cheerful, light, refreshing, inviting APP
pearance that should pertain to public
and all other buildings in a climate
like ours. Upon the whole, though we
feel very grateful to Uncle Sam for the
building as 1t is, and sincerely hope he
will see to it that the roof is put on
before the walls fsll>down.

THE STATESMAN ABRoAD.-The fol-
lowing extract, from a private letter
to Mr.. Monroe Miller, shows what is
thought abroad of the STATESMAN and
those who advertise in its columns {:
81 received the Austin STATESMAN,
which you kindly send me regularly,
and derive much comfort from the Pc
rusal of the same. think it an able
and well conducted journal. l see
that you still continue to prosper-still
continue to extend your business ami
are not behind in letting the outside
world know through the STATESMAN
that you are prepared, ready and spx-
ious to accommodate them in your
line" The letter from which the above
is taken was written in Virginia, and
the writer has shipped large lot of
fine grape cuttings to the care of Mr..
Miller to be forwarded to Burnet coun-
ty. The above extract shows how first
class newspapers are appreciated
abroad, and what is thought of those
persons who literally advertise in their
columns. II the STATESMAN or any
other daily paper were to drop their
advertisements snd refuse to insert To-
cal notices, it is safe to say that in less
than sixty days their subscription list
would be reduced more than two
thirds, and the opinion would rapidly
obtain abroad, and indeed at home,
that the city or town where the paper
issued was ''deader than door-nail, !"
There is nothing that pays the business
man better than judicious and liberal
advertising N the daily papers, and
there is not q man in this or any other
city that can show he ever lost a cent
by patronizng them. Their adver-
tisements are read st home and abroad
and attract custom just as surely as the
sun rses. The trouble is that persons
making purchases never aliude-to hsv-
ing seen or read the advertisement that
has induced them to call and buy a
certain line Of goods. II they did mer
chants who advertise would be aston
ished to learn the number of persons
that have been attracted to
their establishments by reading
the advertisement in the morning pa
per. Let any merchant in the city In
sert four inch double column adver-
tisement in to-morrow's STAsEsMAN

best grade of domestic at a cent yard,
and before to morrow's sun goes down
be will have disposed of it, and prooa-
bly, not one of the buyers will ever al
lude TO having read the advertisement.
They work silently but tffectuslly, and
pay large per cent upon the amount
invested. Advertise and your bust
ness will be increased and attention
attracted to your city, and. it will be
respected at home and abroad.

THE receipts % the festive bell punch
for last month fell Il ebout 800 from
the amount received the month pre-
vIous, AID for ways that are dark and
things that are crooked commend us t.
the little tax collector. The receipts
asst month amounted to $251 20, with
WebberFille and Fort Prairie 10 heLr
from. Collector Johnson, who has
been exceedingly dismal for several
days, and who has been seen to repair
10 tie back alleys and silently weep af-
ter Investigating the punches in the
Fl rent saloons, is confident that the
recs PTS will be materially changed
when he returns are received from the
ABOVE mentioned places. II is thought
the receipts from these to points will
Ire very large-too large, in fact, to
bring Il during the present bad condi,
ton of the roads. The highest num-
Der of alcoholic drinks sold by any one
saloon in the city during the north
was $50, or not quite "a drinks per day.
The highest number of malt drinks
sold was 996, or not quite 81 glasses
per dag. The lowest number of alco-
hoiIc drinks sold was 30, or 1 los per
day. The lowest number of malt drinks
Was 4. or the remarkable decimal
.10379l00 of drink daily. The daily
receipts of the later have been contrib
us0d by the saloon maa to the Irish re-
lief fund, and we will hear no more
about suffering in that country.
