That Settles 1t.
Brought into Competition with the
World. the Best Carries or
the Prize.

AT the great Centennial Exhibition of 1876
the leading products of all the branches of
worlds industry were assembled at Philadel-
phia. To carry off prize in the face of that
tremendous competition was "a task of no ordi-
nary difficulty. Inventions and preparations
for the alienation of pain and the cure of dis
ease were present i'll the greatest possible va
riety, representing the skill and the profound
est study of the age, and it may be of vital i'm
portance to you personally to know that the
highest and only medal given to rubber PO-
rOus plasterS was awarded to the manufacture
erS of BENSON'S CAPCINE POROUS PLAS-
TER by the following jury:
DIX. w. ROTH, Surgeon-Gen. Prussian Army.
J. IL. THOMPSON, AM, Md, Washington,
DC.
G. b. WHITE, NJ. D., New Orleans.
ERNEST FLEISCH, NJ. D., Austria.
The decision was afterwards confirmed by
the medical jury at the last Paris Exposition.
Knowing the value of such high and unbiased
testimony, the medical profession, both i'll the
United States and in Europe. quickly threw
aside the old, slOw-acting plasters they had
been using and adopted Benson's in their reg
ular practice. That physicians and surgeons
of the broadcast regulations did this, distinctly
proves the intrinsic merit of the article.
1t is no more that just to add that the average
physician of to-day is not dominated by the
prejudices which retarded the progress and
modified the success of his predecessors OF
not more than twenty-five years ago. He ac-
cepts hints from all quarters, and endorses
and adopts demonstrated healing agents
wherever he finds them.
The right of BensOn's Capcine Porous Plas-
ter to stand at the head of all external appli-
cations whatsoever, for the mitigation or cure
of disease, is no longer questioned.

against limitations. The genuine has the word

By No Means Wrong.
[San Antonio Times. ]

lOOA AnttiAo
The STATESMAN is again haunted
by the idea of rings" in and about
the state capital, and while it does
not make any direct charges against
any one as being under the ring
influence, still by inuendo it leads us
to believe that in the matter
of the penitentiary lease it
strongly suspects that somebody
in authority at Austin has been
brought under that influence. We
trust that our esteemed contempora-
ry is wrong in its surmises. but if it
has reason to believe that things have
gone wrong as regards that or any
other matter effecting the interest of
the people, we are glad that it has the
moral courage to denounce it, and the
people of the state will thank it for so
doing.

| Extract from Judge Noonan's charge to the
Grand Jury.l
One of the prevalent crimes to
| which | particularly desire to cal
your attention, said the judge, is
gambling, one of the greatest and
most demoralizing evils we have to
deal with. Our jurieS in the past
have dealt entirely too leniently with
them, always assessing the lowest
| penalty, $25, which, as. the district
| court convenes four times a year
amounts really to license of SlOt
per year. This is virtually creating
Il privileged class, and according the
gamblers rights and immunltleS ac-
corded to none others, neither the
merchant, nor the farmer, nor the cat
tle-raiser. This is all wrong, and it
is practice which | will not and can
not sanction any longe The judge here
read the laws on the subject. If may

Theevil IS growing one. We ex-
perienced some difficulty with it at
the last session of the grand jury,
when instructed them not to bring
in any more indictments against gam
blers, but to prosecute all officers who
failed in executing that part of their
duties. hope you will deal with the
subject as your high sense of duty
may suggest.

Too Plain for Proof.


Mr.. Fosters admission that the COM
petition between railways should not
be destroyed by this bill places him
on both sides of the question-first q
champion to secure the people in
their rights to cheap freights, against
discrimination, and to secure the rail-
ways in theirs, one of which is to
charge less price for longer dis
lance. or merely a nominal price if
they see fit to do so.
Towns like Mexia will be ruined
in their business, because it matters
not if freights were carried between
here and Galveston at % cents
per 100 pounds, if it were CARED from
Corsicana at 10 cents, that place would
get the trade and MeXia would lose
it. This is too plain to need any proof
at our hands.
There are ut least one-half of the
railway towns in Texas which could
be ruined by this discrimination and
Mr.. Foster will be compelled to come
to such a conclusion if he but inves-
tigate the subject little.

EDITORIAL NOTES.

Manager DeFossez tells the New
| Orleans Picayune that he has lost
about $4,000 by his season of French
opera in that city, and although his
| lease of the opera house runs for two
years longer, he would not undertake
to bring an opera company next sea-
son unless he is guaranteed a sub
scription of $4,000 at least.
The San Francisco authorities, hav-
ing abolished the Chinese, have turn
ed their attention to the street lamp
question. Believing that darkness
costs less than gas, the board of super
yisors of that city have decided to
discontinue the use of all street
lamps, except those maintained by
private individuals. They have also
recommended two months vacation
of the courts in order to promote
economy. If these extraordinary eff
forts to promote greater fullness in
the municipal treasury are to be taken
as at all indicative of the financial
condition of the citizens of the Golden
state, 1t would appear that the state
is not so golden as it used to be.
In his proclamation setting apart
the fifth day of April as day of fast
ing, humiliation and prayer in Massa-
chusetts, Ben Butler has again dis
tinguished himself. The proclama-
ton is after the Puritan model, and
concludes with some excellent advice
to the Massachusetts clergy. The re-
doubtable Benjamin specially ex-
horts the ministers of the gospel on
that day to feed their fiocks with the
Divine Word, and not discourse upon
political and other secular topics.

In a Big Way.

Many vigorous assaults are made
daily in the legislature on our present
constitution. These attacks come
principally from the younger mem
bers. They seem restless under the
present order of things, and long for
greater and grander systems of gov
eminent. They wish to refute the
story told on them by the old copperas
clodhopper during the canvass, that
they couldn't do anything; and they
make the denial in a big way.

The Ledger's reason for attacking

help defeat the odiouS measure. 1t
would be of little service to cry out
after the vote was cast.
