All the expenditures, added up, being $IS67
for getting one poor mortal 10 his last home !!
Perhaps it would have been all we'll if they had
been able to meet the expenditure; but when
it was known they could not it was vlllainy !.
There are families who, in the effort to meet
the ridiculous, GU rageouS and wicked customs
of society in regard to obsequies, have &C
tually reduced themselves to penury. They
put their last dullar in the ground. They
wanted bread and You gave them stone
There was in England what they call Flu
neral Reform society. 1t is high time We had
such reform society in our own country.
The widespread ex,ravagance accounts also
for the poverty Of religious institutions. Men
pay SO much for show they have nothing for
God and religion. We pay in this country
$22, ooo, oco for the great benevolent societies;
but what are S22 ,ooo, 900 compared with the
SOS, ooo, 900 for toba C ard SI.4SS, 600 for
drinks? How do yu like the comparison?
Great lavshmen, for the world great nggard-
illness for God.
THE Marshall Messenger thinks if the dem

Why, the truth is, it W uld be refreshing to

the "bloated bond holders" at Washington,
and how could 1t possibly effect the honest,

TO tho Voters of the 10th Congressional
District.
AUSTIN, Ten, August .Ist, 1882.

AUSTIN, TEX, August Ist, 1882.
lam candidate for the U. S. Congress
from your congressional district, composed OF
the counties Of Travis, Comal, Blanco, Bexar,
Medina, Bandera, Uvalde, Kinney, Edwards,
Kerr, Kendall, Gillespie, Kimble, Burnett,
Llano, Mason, Menard, LamPasas, McCul-
loch, Concho, Coleman, Runnels, Bastop,
Williamson, Crockett and San Saba.
My candidacy is without regard to party
in any way and when elected propose, as
congressman, to be bound bv no party caucus,
but those measures only which may best serve
the interests of the people of this district, of
Texas, and of the county at large
You are aware that in making the present
apportiontment of The state Tor congressman,
at the late session Of the Legislature, the ma
jority of that body, insolen' with unre-
strained power, and, therefore CONT mp
tlouS of the wishes of the pMple,
boldly announced that it was made with a view
to secure democratic majortles in all the dis
tricts, and to suppress the voters of the oppo-
sition. Hence the counties Of this district,
though inhabited by people of the most diverse
pursuits, and conflicting pursuits were strung
together to secure majority over all opPosi-
ton of upwards Of three thousand-sutficlent,
as they hoped. to ensure their control.
Owing to this arrangement Of the district, it
is made difficult and laborious one to can
vass, but | expect to visit each county of j.
before the, election and to then address you in
person. True notice of my canvass giving
times and places will be published.
Very Respectfully.

Notwithstanding the warning we

victim by the circus sharpers TO the
tune of about six hundred dollars, In
the aggregate, the amount varying IN
individual cases, from three dollars to
twenty-eight. 1t may have been that
the parties did not read the HERALD
and were not on their guard, or it may
have been that they thought the travel
ing sharper was green and that they
could beat a man at his own game.
Well, they learned a lesson, but paid
very dearly for it. If you want to beat
the games of travelling tricksters, let
them severely alone. You may not
make any money out OF them, but you
will be sure that they make no money
out Of you. The man that is willing

The gold fever which seized some oil
our citizens several months ago see us
to be gradually disappearing. The
crisis, 1t Is supposed, has now passed.
Minerals OF value have been found 10
this county, but the gold we are ln-
formed does not pan out well. There
is too much iron in 1t for iewelry and
not enough for stoves, plougbs, &c.
We will, however, fall back on the iron
mines, which are abundant aud have
plenty OF ore offlne quality. Ten dol
lars worth OF iron is worth more than
ten cents worth OF gold.

CHEAPER THAN EVER

The price of wheat still has DOWN
ward tendency, but in spite of this the
farmer has every reason to be both
cheerful and grateful. The wheat crop
has been unusually large. The potato
crop. as far as we have heard, has been
good, and at present the prospect for a
large corn crop is excellent. With
heavy crops we cannot expect very
high prices, unless there should be a
general European participation in the
English Egyptian war. This would
materially stiffen prices, but we must
earnestly hope that the difficulty will
be settled without general war and its
consequent evils.
