AN Austin special to the Gal
weston News says that each
time Kendall has been tired at
San Saba for killing Brown,
frontier troops have been de-
tailed for his protection. He is
soon to be tried here at Bren-
ham, but the adjutant general
refuses troops saying the volun-
tcer militia here can give pro-
lection if needed.

Bacon aud Flour.

Some of the papers are al
ready warning the people to
look out for hard times. Ali
kinds of provisions, flour and
hog products are advancing IN
prices. Bacon at Is to 10 cents
per pound is enough to make
the average farmer, who is
compelled to buy at these fan
cy prices, open his eyes. The
papers throughout the state
have for many years urged lar
mers to raise their own pork
and it is more than likely thata
seasons experience in buying
bacon at what may reasonably
be termed fabulous prices, will
at least put many of them to
thinking, if not to acting. Hogs
are as easily raised as chickens,
and if they are all lost once in
while from cholera, drouth or
some other accident it is no
reason why raising them should
be abandoned. If a farmer will
take care of three or four head
of improved breeds of hogs and
and properly fatten them he
will be able to make more ba-
con and lard from them than
he would from ten head of the
old style razor-back rooters,
and every one of the razor
backs will cat as much or more
food than the good ones. The
BANNER is fully aware that in
advising farmers it treads on
very dangerous and what some
farmersregar as sacred ground,
they holding that a newspaper
has no right to advise farmers,
as thefarmer understands his bus
mess, This may be true in some
instances, but not in, all. That
hogs have been successfully
raised inWashington county,will
hardly be denied, so the propo-
sition holds good-it hogs have
been raised IN the past they can
be raised in the future. Expe-
rience is the only school that
imparts knowledge worth hav-
ing; the reason is, experience
is a school that costs money and
sometimes plenty of it, and
when one has paid dearly for
his learning he knows how to
appreciate and value it. Now
those who buy bacon this fall
and winter and pay 10 cents a
pound for it, will buy expert
ence at the same time, and if
they make proper use of their
experience they will endeavor
the next year to raise their own
meat. If the money that is
sent out of this county every
year for flour and bacon could
be kept at home the farmers
would all be in a fair way to
get rich. The number of Car
loads of bacon and flour that
are annually received at Bren-
ham would astonish any one
who had not given the matter
serious thought. All this ba-
con and flour has to be paid for
out of the proceeds of the cotton
crop. Does it pay to sell cot
ton at 10 cents a pound and
buy bacon at 10?

said if a criminal cannot be

In an editorial on the pro-
posed state bank day or two
ago the BANNER stated that it
would be used for political pur-
poses. The San Antonio Ex-
press referring to the PROPOSE
ton says: sit would create a
vast political machine through
which the state could be plum
dered and the people would be
powerless to avert the act" 1t
would be impossible to keep
politics out of such an institu-
ton.

Ok Monday the collections
for the Garfield monument re-
ceived at Cleveland amounted
to sIo77 and the total sum to
date was s5I37. If the requi-

the very near future the patriot
ism of the people will wane and
the money to build the monu-
ment will never be raised. The
Americans are not by any
means a monument building
people.

Gonzales Inquirer that fhe edi-
tor Of that paper was attacked
by a deputy sheriff for having
criticised his official acts. The
official acts of all officers are
the legitimate subject of criti-
cism by both the people aud
the newspapers and the officer
who hopes to escape criticism
should be remarkably circum-

The San Antonio Light de-
tends the character of Mr.. Ar
thur and says that his removal
from the New York custom
house by Mr.. Hayes was for
political reasons and not for
dishonesty. In this connection
it may not be amiss, to remark
that there is entirely too much
disposition to abuse opposite
parties. Neither party can see
any honesty in the other and
when political canvass is in
progress both parties become
wholly INSCRIPTIONS in the
charges they bring against their
opponents. If it were possible
