What is being done with gold, is now
IN interesting question among the finan-
cial writerss 1t seems that the net i'm
ports Of gold since resumption have been
at least Sl44, 225, It's. The estimated
production during the two years, accord
ing to the estimate Of Wells, Fargo & Co.,
has been s66, 052, 1902 of gold. Hence
the entire addition to the supply of gold
in the country since the date of resump-
ton has been s2l0, 57S, PIT. OF this
sum the Treasury statement shows that
only $2l, 1855, 400 in gold coin and bullion
has been added to its store since Jan. /.
1879. The Comptroller's report shows
that $73. 976, 100 in gold has gone into
the banks throughout the country. De-
Quoting these sums, it appears that at
least SIP, 242,67 in gold have gone into
circulation in private bonds, or been
used in the arts and manufactures.

A GOOD BILL.

The French National Legislature has a
bill which provides that any citizen who
loses his life while saving life or property
at a fire, any physician who dies while
laboring in the hospitals in time of epi-
demic, or any n who dies while en-
deavoring to save a fellow-being, shall be
regarded as a soldier slain on the battle
field, and insure a double pension to his
family. 1t ought to pass, and a similar
n ought to become a law in this

THE force now employed on the
Denver & Rio Grande railway is
larger than the United States army.
In Mexico there are $4,000 men en-
ployed, while in New Mexico and on
the balance of the line there are $4,000
The work of completing the rail-
way is retarded alone by the fact
that all the ties and timber for the
line have to be transported from
Florida and Louisiana, by way of
st, Louis, and this is why the line
from Corpus Christi was purchased,
and is being pushed to junction
with the main line of the road in
Mexico. Governor Hunt says that
it will not be long before the COM
pany will have 2500 miles of COM
pleted road in Mexico, where the
governor says the company has
been well treated, while in Colorado
it has been annoyed and subjected
to great impositions. AT Leadville
it had to fork over 100000 for depot
grounds and now we have good
reason to believe that a good many
GalvestOnians are located at Lead

CORsICANA. August 3.-The third
annual reunion of Parsons brigade
assembled here to-day. Over three
hundred members of the twelfth,
nineteenth, twenty-first Texas cav
airy, and MOrgan's battalion and an
immense crowd were present at the
barbecue General f. NJ. Lewis de-
livered the address. Col. Buck
Walton being called upon, made a
iOrcible speech, in which he urged
the brigade and audience to look to
the future development of Texas.
While alluding to memories of the
lost cause he paid an elegant tribute
to the flag of the nation, speaking
of matters i'll which the people
are now interested. He referred
to the university election and placed
eloquently and logically before the
audience the great advantage ofAus-
tin, disparaging no other candidate.
He entirely dissipated the idea of
Legislators corrupting the youth.
While no place could claim the right
of having the university, he con-
cluded by showing that the best in
terest of the state would be subserv-
ed by locating it at Austin, and that
the unity of Texas would be pre-
served by the iron band around the
state if the university is put at the
capital.

ROCKDALE, August 3-Rockdale
received the first bale of new cotton
on Saturday, July 30th.
Neither the railroad booms or
the prospective departure of j. S.
Rosenfield have discouraged Rock
dale.
Owing to the severe drouth, cot
ton buyers here predict that ship
ments from this point this

Mr.. Goldsticker, the ice cream
man of Rockdale, has raised the
price of ice, but the thermometer
has failed to lower correspondingly.
While other points are getting ex-
cited on the subject of new railroads,
and many of our friends residing at
those points are predicting the an
initiation of ROckdale's trade, we
feel a breeze of encouragement over
the prospect of the air line and great
windy (or some other named) rail-
road which is to be built from
Newton, and which after passing
through Huntsville and Bryan is to
cross the International &c Great
Northern right here at Kockdale.
When that road comes we will shake

all Improvement ON the English sys-
tenn recently adopted. By it money
orders for all sums under So can be
sent; the charges on orders under
$3.50 being from two to three cents,
and on sums from $3.50 to So, four
to five cents. The orders are writ
ten on blank paper, simply giving
the amount of the order, the date of
issue and the office at which it is to
be paid, thus doing away with the
large clerical force necessitated by
postal money orders. This check is
mailed in letter to the person to
whom it is designed to be sent, and
will be cashed at the postoffice there.
To prevent these orders from being
used as currency, which might oc-
cur, it is provided that the checks
must be presented for payment
within three months of the time they
are drawn.

soon have another, and is indepen-
dent of Waco, and is getting lots OF
her trade !; because Bolton is fine
cotton and wool market, ,and is grow
ing to be an enterprising and flour
ishing city; because her people are
going to march up and vote solidly
for Austin for the university. The
fact is, Waco is desperate, and is
prepared to sail into any community
that does not waltz to her university
music. Waco had better let Bolton
alone and attend to her university
business, and scratch that bawdy
house ordinance off her books, and
reform and adopt a code of morals.
