Pre>iGcntE w. -EohnsOn's An-
syerto Gen. Robertson. Sssa

The uncertainty about the Texas Vet
erau reunion, growing out Of facts which
have heretofore been fully given to the
public, is now at an end. In answer to
the letter written by him two days ago
Gen. Robertson received the following
telegram yesterday :
"RoUND Rock, March 31.-Gen. F. NJ
Robertson No change of place of meet
ing has been or will be made.
L. w. JOHNSON"
This settles the matter definitely.
There is not one of our citizens who will
not be glad of the fact that
the place of meeting has not been
changed, and there SHOULD not be one
who is unwilling to do his share now
toward completing all arrangements for
the reception and entertainment Of these
fathers Of Texas Ill q manner betittlng
the respect due them from every citizen
of the state. There is none too much
time in which to prepare for them.
There will be a full attendance OF the
members Of the association. il few
but very few-will go so San Jaciuto on
the 2lst OF April. but the bulk
Of them viii be in Waco. The
committees appointed have plenty
of work before them between now
and the date Of the occasion. They
should be given all the assistance asked
for. There will be another mass meet
ing at the courthouse Tonight. Every
body is earnestly invited to be present.
Again we urge all to go, and all in ev-
erythlng they can.

SOFTEN Him Ri4hI.

The news comes from Weatherford
that cowboy, on passing u handsome
lady on the streets, remarked that he
would like &c sqeeze her Officer Brat
TN, of that city, overheard the remark,
ami the cowboy had to ante W Just sew
euteeu dollars for his ungentlemanlv
conduct. All honor to Officer Brattin
for his course in the matter, and to the
court which imposed the penalty. It
would be d blessing if there were many
more of the same stamp of officials in
this world, Waco included. 1t is a re-
markable and disgusting fact that a
lady can scarcely appear upon the streets
Of this city-for we are talking about
Waco noW-witlOut being stared out Of
couutenance, ana often forced to overhear
remarks of a grossly improper char
acter, by half-grown boys and young
men whose respect for their own mothers
and sisters should teach them better.
This is shameful The man or boy who
rudely stares at modest, refined ladies,
or speaks improperly within their hear
ing, is unfit for association with decent
people IN any capacity. This is the
plain English of it. There are
quite al number of young men who
seem to have no occupation other than
standing upon street corners from morn
ing till night, INDUCING Just such
thoughts IS that of the cowboy in
Weatherford, and frequently giving
them uttyrance i'll a tone distinct enough
to be heard There are also one
or two places in the city
where men congregate on the side
walks in such numbers, and arc so boiste-
rous and rude in appearance and de-
meanor, that lady will walk all around a
block 20 avoid passing them. Ladies are
in measure totally unprotected from
these d;sagrecable things tor the simple
reason that they must blush and bear
them rather than make themselves con-
spiruous by exposing offenders.

Nj. d. ID. Fairchild returned to the
city yesterday from trip through sew
eral counties west of McLennan. He
brings cheering news about the crops
IN every section that he visited; says the
farmers are too busy to even talk, and
are making every minute of daylight
count. While on the return home he
came across field Of wheat in Hill
county, between Morgan and Whitney,
which was almost in full head, and
brought q quantity of the heads to town
TO show for themselves. This is re-
markahly forward. The field will be
ready for harvest early in April-some-
thing that Is almost unequaled by any
previous year III the history of this
