FRIDAY. Sept 2c-P. N.


The stock speculation opened with a seemingly
strong inclination toward a higher range or values.
The sp.cal cause for the short and small improve
ment which was made in early transactions was
the more favorable reports from Chicago relating
10 the status of the Southwestern Railway Zoo .ug
Association But although there were no contradlc-
tons of the published ports their influence on the
speculation was soon expended and Iulet de-
preston ruled for the greater part of the day
A special feature Of the day was the sudden weak
ness deyeloped by Lake Shore, which after IN al
vance to II0l Gl10, rapidly declined to 10, fol
lowed by a corresponding drop in all the other
Va derbilt shares. Union Pacific continued TO at

weak and Western Union was more than usually

The Least Grumbling.
New York Evening Post Rep. u


In the list of things, corporal and
incorporeal, which have been ut times
made the subjects of taXation-suffi-
cient in number to fill a considerable
volume-tobacco and Intoxicating
liquors and drugs have been found to
answer both of these requirements
perfectly. That is to say, the taxes
levied upon them Off not too high to
promote smuggling and illicit distilla-
tion) are paid more readily and with
less grumbling than any other taxes.
They likewise produce less harm and
constitute less burden upon trade and
industry than any other taxes known
to the science of finance. Being vol
untary contributions to the treasury
they are precisely the last which a
statesman would throw away. In
deed, there would be some reasons for
laying a tax on distilled spirits even if
the government needed no revenue
at all.

soil, with a chOcolate-colored loan
predOminating here and there. On
each of these soils corn, cotton, wheat,
mlllet, sorghum, and potatoes do
equally well. Cotton yields from 600
to 500 pounds per acre, in the seed {;
corn, 30 bushels; wheat, u; oats, 90;
sorghum syrup, 200 gallons: Irish po-
tatOes, 10 bushels; sweet potatoes, $50;
millet, 2 to tons. Garden vegetables
of all the usual varieties are
produced in abundance. OF cultivated
fruits, apples, plums, pears, and grapes
are grown successfully. The wild
fruits, plums. black haws, black per-
simmons. and dewberries are a sure
crop. Of native nuts, there are the
pecan and walnut, which are found
everywhere along the borders of the
streams. Wild land, suitable for
farms, ranges in price from SO to SIS
per acre. Improved land, with build
ingS thereon, is worth from 80 to S25
per acre, and rents for 81 an acre, or
for one-third of the grain and one
fourth OF the cotton. Farm laborers
are paid an average of SIS per month.
The county has of live stock, as
shown by the assessment rolls of 1882,
l4,264 sheep. 1908 goats and BAL hogs.
The mesquite and sedge are the pre-
vailing grasses, and are of good quail
ity. both for grazing and for hay.
The International and Great North
ern railway passes through the county,
and has three stations within its linn
its, viz: San Marcos, Kyle and Hunter.
San Marcos, the county seat, has a
population of 800, and is pleasantly
situated at the base of the mountains,
and at the head of the river of the
same name. Kyle is thriving town
of $40 inhabitants, and Mountain City,
few miles from Kyle, is also a pleas
ant village, situated in the midst of a
fertile and picturesque country.
The San Marcos and BlancO rivers
| and Cypress creek each afford valu-
| able water power, and on the former
are five Touring and grist mills, and a
number of cotton gins, within dis
tonce of three miles. The water
power of the two latter is also utilized
by saw mills, grist mills, and gins, but
to less extent.
The scholastic population is 1893, OF
which number 800 are colored, and
there are 81 public free schools, with
| an average attendance OF lUOO pupils.
There are also four private schools
viz: the COronal Institute, an educa-
tional institution of high grade, stu
ated at San Marcos; the Dripping
Springs Academy, at Dripping Springs;
the Kyle high school, at Kyle; and
Science Hall, at Mountain City; each
under competent teachers and well
attended.
The religious denominations are nu-
merously represented by the Metho-
dists, Presbyterians, Cumberland Pres
byterians, Baptists, Episcopalians, and
Christians. They are severally sup
piled with church edifices. some OF
which are large and of handsome
architectural design.
The general character of the people
for law and order is good. and as a
community they are noted for intelli-
gence and hospitality. The healthful-
ness of the county is proverbial.

Give Us Free Ships.
IN. Y Evening Post. |


There is one thing and only one that
the committee can do to help on a
shipping revival, and that is to recon-
mend the repeal of all laws which for
bid Americans to buy ships upon the
same terms as the Europeans with
whom they must compete. Anything
less than this is trifling with the sub
ject, 1t is like bailing out a leaking
vessel with a tin dipper while the wa
ter is pouring into her hold by the
hundred gallons. Why not make the
experiment of free ships? AT least it
can do no harm. Vessels used in the
coasting trade may be excepted, and
the American builders of ships for
that traffic will not be affected. If we
get iron steamships for the foreign
trade as the result of the experiment,
these builders will not be hurt, be
cause they are building no such ships
now

1t is not hard to understand why all

The commission has practically
made tariff to suit the iron and steel

Their Extreme Cunning.
Rochester Union.l


Last months election has evidently
admonished our Republican friends in
congress to turn over new leaf and
do works meet for repentance. That
event, taken with the probability of a
Democratic national triumph in 1884,
has induced them, among other con-
templated reforms, to introduce a
civil service bill which is designed to
keep Republican clerks in Office during
the entire term from 1883 to 1887 no
matter which political party shall
carry the country in the next presi-
Dental contest. This, it must be adj
mitted, is civil service reform with a
vengeancel The full text of the de-
lectable measure is given on another
page, and shows how cunning" our
opponents can be when they set
about it. OF course the Democrats
will move to substitute a copy of the
Pendleton bill, which provides for
competitive examinations as an indis-
pensable prerequisite to true civil-ser-
vice reform.

Legislating Them In.


The KaSson civil service reform bill
should be called SOL iething else. 1t
seeks to legislate all the clerical in
cumbents in for four years more. AS
none of them were appointed for civil
service reform cause, or have behaved
in civil service reform manner. this
bill will not do. 1t should not be let
become or remain a law, The 100000
persons who have made up the Dor
sey-Hubbell corruption funds, and
who have been appointed on the de-
mands of ring politicians, will have
to take their chances under civil SER
vice reform principles with the other
citizens of the United States, on con-
ditiOns of competency, character, and
like tests. And history as a ten or
twenty years appointee and cOrrup-
ton contributor, under the spoils sys-
TEN, is not good civil service reform
record.

A Kentucky Decision Criticised.
boston Advertiser. ]

A Kentucky judge is reported to
decide that the word citizen in the
jury law of that state is not to be
taken literally. a juror appeared who
was British subject, having never
been naturaliZed. The mans applica-
ton to be excused ON the ground of
alienage was denied for the reason
given. a juror must be white citi-
zen, according to the state law, though,
of course. the fourteenth amendment
to the United States constitution
changes that local statute, and admits
cOlored men also to the jury box. To
a layman it seems dangerous prece-
dent to set up doctrine of private or
elastic Interpretation of an explicit re-
quirement. If the word citizen is
used in the jury law only as an equiv
alent to individual, then Kentucky
law must be an exception to the ordi-
nary statutes of the country.

Dies with His Boots OFF.

OAtN w. N.Y.
There died ON the 18th of Novem-
Der, at Lorenzo, New Mexico, of small
poX, John Middleton, of BaStrop
county, Texas. Deceased confessed
upon his death-bed to having been a
bad man. He left home on account OF
having killed negro, and then came
to New Mexico. He was one of Billy
the Kids gang during the Lincoln
county war, and received there u shot
through the lungs at the time the
Murphy party killed the Englishman
whose name we have forgotten, while
out with herd of horses. Getting
well of his wound, he returned to
Texas, and during a dispute with a
man at Jim Viewers, at the head OF
the NueceS river, he took the life OF
his opponent, and fled again from
justice to parts where he was not
known. For this last murder the
state of Texas offered a reward OF
1920 for his capture, dead or alive,
and before dying he advised those
around him to take his body to the
Lone StaI state to earn that reward;
but nobody seemed anxious to take
the trouble of taking a smallpox
corpse along the road for the sake of
blood money.

THERE is no use specializing about
how much Judge Hancock's majority

extended canvass. The official re-

$40. This is certainly glorious tri-
umph for Democracy in district
which, to start with, Mr.. Davis
thought he could carry, and which the
most sanguine friends of Mr.. Hancock
were satisfied could not be carried by
over 1000 majority. The result teaches
us what may be done with the people
when the principles of Democracy are
boldly defended. This fight between
the two candidates was made for and

SENATOR BECK believes that "the
