The "bull Of protection" is now to he
"tnken by the horns" The announcement is
made by Mr. Henry Watterson, who besides
being Editor of the chef organ of Democracy
in the West and Southwest, has the added
distinction of being tho author of the cele-
brated tariff plank in the Cincinnati platform
of 1850, which declared in favor Of n tariff

was q pretty square taking OF the bull by the
horns, so far as the action Of the Convention
went, and Mr. WatteTsOn, who was assisted In
the performance by that distinguished apostle
of free trade, Mr. David A. Wells, evidently
so intended it. But the members of the Con-

did not understand 1t at all. What they
wanted was q candidate who would stand
some show for an election, and who, being
elected, would carry out the only Democratic
principle for which they cared copper the
principle, to wit, that the only proper way to
administer the Government is to give all the
Offices to Democrats That being done, they
did not bother themselves about tariff or
currency, or anything else. Very few of them
knew until after Hancock was nominated and
the platform adopted, and the hurrah was over,
that the platform contained anything what

MILANo, Sept. 27.-The firm of Nc
Adams 81 Terry, doing general mer-
chandising in this village, to-day
made voluntary assignment to j. Il.
Moore, of Cameron, for the benefit Of
their creditors, mostly Galveston
firms. Their liabilities are said to be
about $1,000, their assets consisting of
the stock now being invoiced, and
their book accounts, chiefly among
the farmers, will more than cover
their liabilities. Short crops, low
prices of cotton and the failure of
farmers to meet their obligations
was the direct cause Of the assign
ment. The gentlemen are our best
citizens, and are men Of the highest
integrity, and this action upon their
part will but attest this fact more full
ly. 1t was great surprise to our
people and the surrounding country
and it is the expression of the peO-
pie generally that they may be able to
resume.
Business is very quiet, and in all
probability fully half the cotton has
been gathered. About three hundred
bales have been shipped from this
place, which is about one-quarter of
the usual shipments from this place
at this time of the season, and in all
probability the entire shipments for
the season will not exceed eight hun
dred bales, some Two thousand being
shipped last season.
Our little town shall continue to
improve slowly but surely, and the
health of the people generally is bet
ter than ever before.

You ask, editorially,in your issue of
September 20, 1888, why factories are
not established in Austin. If the
question is asked in jest, as an iron
ical repetition of the demands of
every newspaper, in every new town
of Texas, echo would give sufficient
reply, but no doubt many suppose you
really wish to know why factories are
not established, and so. for the benefit
of those who may not see the irony,
will assume that you have seriously
asked: "Why are factories not es-
tablished in Austin -

HOW THEY WORKED 1T.
Two SwIndIers Got a Big Haul.

Two SWIndIers Got Il Big Haul.
Last night two we'll dressed strang-
ers were playing Il sharp game, taking
in the unwary. They appeared to be
perfect strangers TO each other, and
the way they worked their game was
to get men to bet on the weight of
each other. One of the men did Il
good deal of blowing as to his powers
of guessing on the weights of men,
and by his bragadOcia create d cOnsid
cradle excitement. lIebct on several,
and they went to get the scales,
and the men were weighed and
the Dragging fellow lost his money in
each case. Then they all repaired to
saloon, and the fellow did more
talking than ever. He finally proposed
to bet hundred dollars to fifty that
he could guess the weight i.','.,,,-i1If.xC
man who came into the saloon more
accurately than any other person in
the room. Tfe1.T3 were several cattle
men present who considered them
selves experts in guessing weight,
and two or three of them
took him up. The money was put up
and the party waited for some one to
come in. Presently Il stranger dressed
like Il cowboy entered, and stepped UP
to the bar and called for something to
drink. The men came up to him and
said:
stranger, we have made a bet that
we could guess the weight of the first
man who came in, and you are the
first man."
"Well," said the stranger. 81 am
mighty deceiving, weigh bad"
please do not give any pointer,
said the Dragging fellow. We want
everything on the squar." "All
right" said the cowboy, and said NJ
more. Then the men began to feel
of the fellows arms and legs and they
made their calculations. One said
100 pounds, another 145 and another
Isl. The Dragging fellow was the
last to say, and after very carefully
feeling of the stranger and making
his calculations he Said This fell
low is mighty deceiving, he will
weigh 200 younds." The other men
and this seemed to plague
the braggart, and he fired up and said
he would bet a hundred dollars to
Seventy-1ive that he was nearer right |
than any man that guessed. This
was readily taken, and other bets of
the same nature followed: When the
betting was over all repaired to the
scales, and the man was weighed, and
to the utter dismay of all he weighed !
two hundred pounds.
wall, you are through with me,
said the cowboy, and he
walked off and was seen no more.
1t is surmised that the two
men were in partnership,
and that the one who personated the
cowboy had leaden soleS to his boots, ,,
and probably lead about his body,
fixed in such away that it could not
be detected.
The swindle was well played, and it
worked to perfection; but the fellows
who were taken in are two proud to
own that they have been sold by con
