A CONTEMPORARY calls attention to
the great demand for jersey cattle in
this country. 1t has been so great in
the last fifteen years and so many an
imals have been brought ovsr to sat-
isfy 1t that the source of supply is
nearly exhausted. 1t is told that it
is now difficult to find choice Jersey
COWS even in Jersey. The islanders
have nearly ceased to keep the ami
mails for milking purposes; they rear
them almost exclusively for foreign
markets, chiefly the American, and
they cannot raise enough to supply
the demand. There are three islands
in the channel group, lying off the
French coast, that are the home of
these valuable animals = Jersey,
Guernsey and Alderney-but it is from
Jersey and Alderney the most desira-

deer-like little creatures. 50 esteemed
for their rich mhk and its rich yield
of golden butter" The same species
is found in Guernsey. but there it is
larger, cearser and does not yield as
rich milk. These cattle have been
successfully transplanted in this coun
try, and they have been improved by
the process. There are finer jersey
cows to be found in the United States
than on the island of Jersey. Our
richer pastures and the general kind
treatment they receive have had the

THE FAIR THURSDAY.
4 Large Crowd on the Grounds.

A Large Crowd on the Grounds.
The attendance ut the fair yester-
day, notwithstanding the rain in the
morning, was large. OF course the
bad condition of the grounds rem
dered many of the amusements not so
good as they otherwise would have
been, nevertheless everything passed
off highly satisfactory. The most of
the trotting and running had to be
postponed until to-day. One race was
attempted. but the track was so heavy
that it was Of little interest.
The steer roping was q perfect sue
cess. Several persons entered the
contest, but the best work was done
by Tom Morris and Bob Barker. The
time of the former was 1 80 and the
latter 1871. Mr.. Morris failed to get
his string" over tAe steer the first
time and considering he threw it
twice the time is simply wonderful.
The great interest of the day cen
tered in the shooting match
for the prize medal Of
fered by Mr.. Ban to the
best shot. Twelve persons entered
the match, but several withdrew as
the match proceeded. The following
is the score-each man shot at twenty
five glass balls and likewise the same
number of clay pigeons, and the score
indicates the number struck out of
the Wprtv-fva.

TIE bankers lately assembled at
Louisville, expressed themselves, of
course, as to silver coinage. Nothing
new, however, was advanced-only
empty sophistries and fallacies, exag-
gerations and inaccuracies, as CO.
temporary puts it. Those who pre-
dict the evils of bi-metalism have all
the power that exists to bring on the
trouble they try to forecast. They
have for years exerted Them
selves to bring on the very mis-
fortunes in this connection they
declare are pending. 1t is
certain that they have failed only be-
cause the truth was against them and
the common sense and the general in
terest of the people were too strong
for them. In spite Of all their affected
alarm and dogmatism on the subject,
the masses of the people do not heed
one syllable they utter. They have
literally made no impression on the
country. There is not the slightest
prospect that silver will again be de-
monetized. There will not be suffi-
cient number of the peoples represen-
tatives who will support the PROPOSE
ton to give the effort the dignity of a
contest,

Tho Last nar of the Fair

Yesterday was the last day of the
Capital State Fair, and the last day
was well attended, considering the
fact Of the muddy condition Of the
grounds. The most of the forenoon
was spent in exhibiting the premium
stock in front of the amphitheatre
and in awarding the prizes. The deer
chase came off at l o'clock and proved
to be very exciting one. The deer
| took the home stretch of the mile
track, followed by the dogs, and the
race was almost thrilling. After
passing the amphitheatre it turned.
and jumping the fence, went to the
place where it is kept and escaped the
baying hounds. The cattle roping
was excellent. Ten men entered the
| contest, but only two made better
time than 1:30, as will be seen by ref
erence to the premiums below. After
this was over the racing began, and
though the track was in very bad
shape, some good sport was had.
Awards yesterday were made as
follows:
John Hancock, best jack of any age,
first prize, $25. Foster Jones, second.
John Dillingham;, best yoke of oxen,
first premium.
The sweepstakes prize of 500 for
the best stallion and four mares was
taken 10y ]. L. Daniel. J. II. Philips,
second.
Miss Mandy Hume took the first
prize for the best loaf of bread and
the best breakfast rolls.
Gooton & Ausillaux, McDade, first
prize for the best display of wine.
r. E. Richardson, Austin, best dis
play of wine from wild grapes, first
premium.
Mrs. Z. C. Bartholomew, best pre-
served blackberries, first premium.
T. II. Green, best bale of cotton,
first prize.
Other minor awards were made in
the department of produce.
The running race, three-quarter
mile heats, was won by Brooks
Eulalie, best two out of three.
In the steer-roping contest there
were ten entries, which resulted as
follows: Paul Won Rosenberg's time
was 2.55. He threw his steer in less
than one minute, but his rope broke
and hence he lost his chance. j. S.
Rogers, shortest time. 1929. Mr..
Waddle, 3 Is; VIM. Williams, failed to
rope; r. ]. Morris, LAO; King Heffing-
ton, LAT; J. p. Paiest, 157; Tom
Moore failed to rope; Miles Williams,
1 501z; r. E. Barker, 1.2814. Mr.. Rog-
ers gets S125, and Mr.. Barker gets
$25.
The deer chase was very interest
ing one, and the dogs worked very
nicely. The time from the start to
close was five minutes. The doe
Jumped several fences before she Was
cornered and finally brought to bay.

Wants to Hold Its Grip.

The Western Union telegraph COM
pany has notified the AUSTIN STATES
MAN, and possibly other daily papers,
that on and after the first day of Oc-
tober it must pay advanced rates for
it's specials, and before it can get even
these special rates it must enter into
an obligation to take them for two
years. The reason for this course is
apparent to every one. The Western
Union sees trouble from the Santa Fe
railroad wires and telephone compa-
MES. Having its hand at present on
the throat of newspapers. it proposes
to make it promise to be its slaves
even after competition forces it to re-
lease its grasp.

SENATOR BAYARD thinks the pros
pect for Democratic success in the
next presidential election is most IA
vorable. He says: 1.-THE Democratic
party is on the eve of brilliant tri-
umph. The result in Ohio forshad-
Ows this without a doubt. Even if
Judge Foraker had been elected We
would not have been so much joep-
ardiZed, but Democratic triumph,
after such great eXertions had been
put forth by the Republicans, puts
Ohio in the Democratic ranks and
places the election of our candidate
beyond the shadow of doubt" In
regard to Butler the senator says:
Butler has no chances. He is not
the man to be trusted. The Demo-
cratic party has no use for the leader
ship of an apostate, man who for
fifteen years was one Of the most
fanatical Republicans in the country.
How can admire such man? When
the Democratic party needed every
voter Butler turned traitor, and now,
when we who have borne the heat
and burden Of the day see victory al
most within our grasp, he seeks to
crawl back into the ranks that he may
seize on some of the emoluments Of
success. The local interests of Massa-
chusetts may demand leader of that
stripe, but the national Democratic
party does not. It dare not trust the
man who applied the knife Of treach-
cry in 1860. He would stab the party
again in the back if occasion offered. u

DIANA.

She had a bow of yellow horn,
Like the old moon at early morn.
She had three arrows strong and good,
Steel set in feathered cornell wood.
Like Durest pearl her left breast shown
Above her kirtle's emers1 zone;
Her right was bound in silk well knit,
Lest her bOwstrlng should sever it.
Ripe lips she had, and clear gray eyes
And hair pure gold, brown holden-wise
Arose her face, like shining mist.
That with dawn's flush is family kissed.
Her limbs! how matched and round and fine {!
How Tree, like song! how strong, like winel
And, trimmed to music wild and sweet,
How swift her SiSer-Sandaled feeti
Single of heart and strong of hand,
Wlnd-lfke she wanders through the land.
No man (or king, or lord, or ehurl)
Dared whisper low to that fair girl.
And woe to him who came upon
Her nude, at bath, like Acteonl
So dire his fate that one who heard
The tlutter of bathing bird,
What time he crossed breezy wood.
Felt sudden Quicken.ng of the blood;
Cast one swift look, then ran away
Far through the green thick groves of May;
Afeared lest down the wind of Spring
He'd hear an arrow whispering.

WAR preparations all along the
Prussian frontier are ineessant. The
Germans are working on the lines OF
defence day and night. A number OF
iron-clad turret ships are being con-
structed. Gun-boat stations on the
Vistula have been increased. Gen.
Gourko began this week fresh mill
tary inspection of the Russian lines
for the defence of the Vistula. In
the interviews which recently took
place between Prince Bismarck and
GhaM Mukhtar Pasha, at Fredericks,
ruhe, it was reported that he per
suaded Mukhtar to advise the Porte
that the Sultan should enter the Ger.
man Alliance.

THE Republican calls attention to
the fact that Ohio is the home of an
interesting group Of illustrious Re
publican statesmen. editors, prophets,
teachers, worriars and other nabobs-
and it Was only three years ago that
Ohio greed demanded nearly every
thing in sight of Washington City as
rewards for these renowned and all
deserving creatures. There are Ssna-
tor Sherman and Gov. Foster, ar
Butterworth, and Hayes, and ex7GoT.
Noyes, and the Cincinnati journalists,
and juggling battalion of respondent
brigadiers, each of whom had at some
particular time. and way saved the
Union. Where were all the distin-
guished and mighty persons last Tues
day? What were they doing when
the Democrats stampeded their camp,
captured their outfit and took poss es-
sion of the state?

ATTENTION is called to the fact
that the bank OF England is loosing
gold, and part of 1t is atloat for New
York. But what about the theory of
the anti-silver financiers that the
coinage of that metal will drive all
the gold from this country to Europe,
and leave us with no metal money
but deprecated silver dollars2 The
Eastern editors and bankers have
been predicting this disaster for three
years, as the result of what they call
our folly in restoring silver to the
coinage; but it has not come yet. In
fact, we have been increasing our
stock of gold ever since we revived
the coinage of silver, and now these
prophets of disaster are forced to rec
ognize the fact that the bank of
England is forced to raise its rate of
discount to arrest the flow of gold to
this country.
The Austin weekly statesman. (Austin, Tex.) 1883-1898, 1883-10-25

THE enactment of bankrupt law is
generally urged as a necessity. Each
state has its own law, and these
diverse laws cause endless uncertain
ty and inconvenience. The fact that
two national bankrupt laws have been
tried and found unsatisfactory does
not destroy the desire for third,
which shall be free from the very seri-
Gus defects of the others. The old law
broke down through its own rotten
ness. 1t encouraged fraudulent bank
ruptcies, filled the business world
with perjury, and stimulated dishon-
est merchants to follow bankruptcy
rs profession; it devoured estates in
exorbItant fees, charges and commits
sions, and left too Kttle, often moth
ing whatever, for the creditors; and
its working was SO clumsy, heavy, la
bored and costly, that the very classes
for whose benefit it was intended, be-
came Disguised with it and asked for
its repeal. A new law win have to
be free from these inlirmities, or. it,
too, will prove failure.

Tourgenieff's story of "After
Death" which appeared in our July
and August numbers was one of his
latest productions; and was suggested
by the suicide of Julia Feyghine, the
Partisan actress. 1t was cutie differ
ent from his other works, in the par
ticular that fantasy had large place
in it, and supernatural agency was in
PRODUCED in a half-veiled form. When
he heard Of the Feyghine tragedy, his
mind was in a morbid condition, and
the questions that Hamlet asked, and
was not able to solve, took firm hold
of his mind. In this stage of his life,
his imagination became phenomenally
active, and ceased to lean upon reality.

THERE are eleven states out of the
thirty-eight now left to the Republi-
cans. Minnesota, Nebraska, Rhode
Island and Vermont may be regarded
as solid in every detail, but the Re
publicans hold Indiana only by virtue
of Dorsey's campaign of bribery,
while they were forced to divide the
state offices in the last Illinois cleo
ton. Iowa Is yet theirs, but it has
been so persistently of late the theatre
of incessant tribulation, no Republi-
can can turn to 1t with anything but a
feeling of grief. Maine, New Hamp-
shire, Oregon and Wisconsin are Re
publican by msjorities so slender and
uncertain, that it is impossible for the
most sanguine Republican to be con-
fident that they will not take their
proper places in the great Democratic
procession at the very next election.

The Seminole Indians, located in
the Everglades of Florida, do not be-
lieve in Lincoln's proclamation nor
the fifteenth amendment. A few
months ago Chief Tiger Tail became
displeased with one. of his colored
servants, and brought him into Fort
Myers to offer him for sale. When in
formed that the negroes were all free,
he calculated: "White mans niger
mebbe free, but Indians niger not.
Whereupon Tiger Tail grasped the
darkey by the nape of the neck,
pushed him into the canoe, and pad
died back to the Everglades.

To the Editor of THE STATESMAN:

10 Lie VI 1HE OIATESMAR
The Great International Circus ex-
hibited here to q small audience. They
tried all day yesterday to raise their
tent, but owing to high winds and the
demoralized condition of the canvas
could not succeed. A few jumpers,
two or three dogs, rope walker, and
hired transportation, completed the
outfit. The whole institution was a
pretty good fifty cents sell out.
Two mokes, one porter on the Mis-
souri, Pacific railroad, and the other q
porter in bar room, opened fire on
each other on the most business por-
ton of Main street. After emptying
their six shooters both, ran. The
street was crowded at the time,
with pedestrians. Casualties: one of
the shootists shot in the right side; e.
L. NJ. Orr, struck on the arm with a
spent ball; a little two-year-old boy
shot in the thigh. The great wonder
IS that others were not shot, as the
shooting was very wild. Both were
arrested.
Business is very good. Cotton is
still coming in lively. Over 5000 bales
have been shipped to date.
We had good rain this morning,
which will help the young grass to
push ahead for winter grazing.
Major Penn passed through yester-
day. He said he was going home to
rest. He has been doing a good sum-
mer business in Texas, harvesting
sinners, if wet weather don't spoil the
grain before it is ready for the mill.
All the trains of the international
& Great Northern and Missouri Pa
cific are on time no more for several
weeks past. Mails have no regular
time to come and go from the post
Office.
Maj. H. NJ. Burt, manager of the
Taylor hardware company, is moving
into his new two-story brick building
The change makes the major smile a
smole as long as a fishing line.
The new bank building is nearing
completion. This will be the prettiest
building in this city when completed

finely, with over $50 scholars. II.
