WASHINGTON, June 19.-Secretary
FrelinRhuysen today communicated to
the House Committee on Appropriations
aud Foreign Affairs, at a joint meeting,
details of the plans of the administra-
ton in respect to the Nicaraguan water

adopted for making these matters

reasons. and asked that his communion

strictions of official secrecy. The COM

month, but two per cent, and, as he
knows, "often five per cent. per
month" No wonder the banks deal
with the cattle men and allow other
interests to suffer and the communities
in which they exist to langulsh,
when from two to five per cent. PER
month is paid for money by cattle
men. Mr.. Salmon says borrowers have
first been forced to put up with such
demands" and then compelled to sell
at a loss to make settlements. He
thinks a necessary work of the con-
vention is to take up this vital ques-
ton and follow it, as he knows it can
be, to satisfactory conclusion. The
decline in the value of cattle and
oppressive obligations have, as all
know, brought many very rich cattle
men to the verge of ruin. The cattle
interest in Texas is great one. THE
STATESMAN hopes to see it prosper.
It has been Disseminated against by
the state government and by money
lenders, and it is very necessary that
it should combine for self-protection
If the cattlemen will take our advice
they will be up and doing. They will

THE APOSTLE ST. JOHN.

st. John is full Of zeal in the cause
he ecpouses. His late vigorous refusal
to withdraw from the presidential
canvass commands respect. He may
look upon the only issue of his politi-
cal creed from an impracticables tand-
point, and believe in the power of his
party to do an impTacticable thing in
ali illogical way, but he and his fol-
lowers are devoted to their cause. and
their belief in its right and justice is
of nature similar to that which led to
the abolition of slavery. It is hardly
probable, however, for the prohibit
tionists to ever work up party sue
cessful within itself, but their influ-
ence upon politics has been, and may
continue to be- considerable. In
the last twenty years they have
forced their ideas upon the republican
party and have brought about its tenn
porary defeat in Maine, New Hamp
shire, Massa ehusetts, Connecticut,
Ohio, IlllDois, Indiana, Kansas, Wis
coDsin and Michigan. Whenever and
wherever the extreme development of
the prohibitory idea has been forced
into the politics of state the defeat
of the party accepting it has followed.
Because OF this active participation
in politics the republican party was
recognized for a time in the states
named as being not unfriendly to the
policy of legal prohibition. But defeat
forced the party with national as well
as state interests either to give up its
allies or to play fast and loose with
them, until, tired of delay, and digust-
ed with small results, the prohibition
lists have at last organized themselves
nto political party OF their own.
But, as st. John says, they have come
to stay, and in spite of the appeals of
their old time allies, the republicans,
to get out of the way, they will re-
main in the field to fight alone for
principle. The appeal referred to
would indicate that republicans begin
to fear the effect of this steady front
presented by prohibitionists upon their
chances in future elections.

QUEEN VICTORIA has asked that
the Prince of Wales be delegated to
take part in conferences between Eu-
ropean sovereigns. This is an indica-
ton that the queen wishes to with
draw more and more from active life,
and that she understands the necessity
of maintaining personal communica-
tions with her Ineighboring monarchs.
Ever since Prince Albert died, more
than twenty years ago, she has lived in
far more seclusion than pleased her
subjects, who, as soon as the Prince of
Wales grew up and married, looked to
him as the leader of society and as the
queens deputy in ali public matters.
He is now over forty, and perhaps his
mother and the aristocracy perceive
that IN the approaching conflict be-
tween monarchy and democracy, which
threatens not only England but Ger
many, Austria, Belgium and even Rus
ria, it is important that the prospective
king of Great Britain should strength
en- his relations among his brother
moDarchs. 1t is just possible that the
prince himself, having wearied of play
ing the part of his mothers eldest boy
wishes to busy himself with matters
of more Importance than horse races
agricultural shows and ship launches

HAMPERING OUR CATTLE MEN.


THE STATESMAN, in previous issues,
has attempted to show the cattle men
of Texas the Importance of looking
well after their interest in this day of
organized effort in behalf of industry
and production. A big syndicate of
Texas cattle men, to look after Texas
cattle interests, to prevent damage
from organized opposition, would not
be bad thing. With this view THE
STATESMAN has urged that our cattle
men have a strong delegation at the
st. Louis convention, which meets on
the 18th of November. Large dele
cations will be in attendance from the
northwestern states. from Kansas, and
from the Indian territory, and the
prospect is that, with several inter-
ests combining against the Texans,
without activity and alertness on the
part of the latter, they may be forced
to repair instead of prevent damage,
The Texas trail" will be fought
with vigor by the northwestern breed
ers, who desire to keep down compe-
tition. They will do all in their power
to build up and strengthen prejudice,
and If they succeed in the convention
they may even be able to achieve sue
cess before congress. The people from

posing the driving of Texas cattle.
There is, besides, great evil. that will
be considered at st. Louis-one which
has cost the cattle men millions of
dollars, and which has robbed them
of profits. THE STATESMAN has
heretofore called attention to this
evil as affecting Austin-a monopoly
of the money loaned here. The secret
of this monopoly, which has been APP
parent to us for years, mas been ex-
planned by Missouri banker and cat
tie breeder, Mr.. Harvey Salmon, a
gentleman well-known to many per.
SONS here aud elsewhere in Texas. He
said to a Globe-D Democrat reporter,
few days ago. that the cattle men
have suffered from the exorbitant
rates of interest they have had to pay
on loans;" that when they have
needed credit, during certain periods
of the year, they have not only been
forced to give one per cent. per

PREACHERS VERSUS ROLLER SKAT
ING.

The Methodist preachers of the Wy
oming district have begun crusade
against roller skating. They assert ii
is destroying rustic morals, to say
nothing of the inroads it has made
on town and city society, and they feel
called upon to authoritatively warn
their people against growing evil OF
most questionable moral tendency
1t is supposable that roller skating is
done about in the same way in Wyo-
ming as in Texas, or in any other parts
of the country. The Wyoming girls
may be a little more boisterous on
skates; they may wear larger. and con-
sequently heavier skates, and may
make more of a racket than girls any
where else except in Chicago, but that
can be the only marked difference be-
tween roller skating in Wyo-
ming and Austin; and here no
body has found out it is demon
alizing. The girls and boys may do
good cal of flirting in the rink, but
while gliding around they naturally
feel in a flirting way. They may do
nothing at a rink any more objection
able than is done at church festivals
and pic-nics. In fact, at the rink they
only rope each.other into run, while
at the church festivals, which the
good men of Wyoming sanction, there
are all kinds of catches for taking in
the dollars and dimes. questionable in
their tendencies and excusable only on
the ground that money won improp-
erly is converted to good purpose.
But these Wyoming preachers are,
like Brother Moody, inclined to radi-
calism they are getting too good, and
if they go on improving in the
scale of goodness, they will have
to have Il special creation in
the hereafter to suit the exaltation of
their purified spiritual existences.
Their standard of aSceti5icm is set so
high as to be unattainable by common
mortals, and there is, therefore, no
use in attempting to reach it. Roller
skating has grown to be a great pop
ular past-time, and it affords one of
the most pleasant as well as healthTul
modes of exercise that may be in
dulged in. Every town and
village of any consequence sup
ports a rink of more or less
pretensions, where young people
congregate to erg .ge in what neces-
sarily is boistereus past-time. Prob
ably the preachers have not witnessed
the skating. and are lei by the noise
to assert there are indecent "carry-
ings-on~ at the Kinks. No immoral
tendency can possibly come from use
Of the skates; they are harmless in
that respect, and do Injury only by
accident, to the physical person. Any
immoral tendency of the rink attaches
alike to assenibiages of any charac-
ter, where the sexes are thrown to-

THE incidents of Gov. Cleveland's

ficiently attest his great popularity
with the masses of the people-they
who will do the bulk of the voting,
the yeomanry of the country. The
way the enthusiastic crowd cheer
ed lf.i.i Ii lie depots, yesterday, is but
an indication of the way these same
crowds will vote next Tuesday. Ev'
erything, in fact, points to the fact
that Cleveland is solid with the great
body of the people of New York, who

to the governorship, and next Tuesday
will raise him to the presidency OF

TEXAS METEORITES.

OF course many persons recollect
the huge meteorite that used to be on
a table in the geological room OF the
old capitol. When the building was
destroyed by fire this meteorite fell in
the debris, and being protected from
great heat by some Of the underWalls
that fell upon it, it was recovered from
the ruins in condition not in the least
affected by heat, This meteorite has
history outside Its presence in the
geological room and its recovery from
the ruins of the burnt capitol.
1t was found on the upper
waters of Red River, in Wichita
county. 1t had been set up as an OBJ
ject of worship by the Indians, who re-
garded it with holy superstition as be-
longing not to the earth, but as COM
ing from the land of the Great Spirit
In 1858 Major Neighbors, command
ing at Fort Belknap, had it conveyed
on wagon to the fort; thence it
was taken to San Antonio, and finally
found its way to the state museum in
the old capital. 1t is now deposited in
the state university, where it will re-
main for ages to come as one OF the
greatest curiosities of its future great
museum. Professor Mallet, late pro-
fessor CT chemistry in the State Uni
versity, took a small part of this won
derful heavenly visitor for analysis.
He describes the specimen as follows;
The mass has an irregular elongated
pear-like shape, somewhat f1attened,
good deal larger at one end than the
other, with tolerably smooth general
surface, but with well marked concav
tiles or shallow pittings-in every way
presenting the appearance of typical
metallic meteorite. There is no we'll
defined crust. but merely thin. closely
adhering film of oS ide on the surface.
There is no appearance of any effect
from the capitol fire through which it
passed; very probably the weight of
the mass may have carried it rapidly,
on the giving away of the floor, down
to some position in the basement in
| which it was sheltered from the heat
by masonry rubbish accumulated over
it. The dimensions of the specimen
in it's original state were: maximum
| length, sos millimeters maximum
breadth, 305 millimeterS maximum
thickness. 223 millimeters. The weight
was little under 100 Kilograms, as
determined on rather rough platform
balance.
! He reports the interior structure
as rather compact, but tolera-
bly, soft, tough and malleable.
Chemical analysis shows that the
meteorite is composed of: iron, 90.769;
nickel, 8342; cobalt, .265; manganese,
a trace; copper, .018; tin, ,004; phos-
phorus, .141; sulphur, DIG; graphite
carbon, 100; silica and magnetic oxide
iron, .t32; in all, 99.877 parts. Prof.
Mallett fixes this specimen as belong
ing to the shower of 1914. The immense
specimen at Yale college, weighing
1885 pounds. is one of the same
fall. 1t was found in the northern
part of Cherokee county, and he
thinks this one. now in the university
building, must have been taken as a
sacred Treasure from East Texas to
the northwest. The finest specimens
of meteortes known appear to come
from Texas. They are to be found in
universities and colleges in this coun-
try and in Europe.

ATTENTION is called to an open let.
ter from Mr.. George Pfeuffer to Rev
w. K. Hamblin, of Salado, the gentle
man who charged immortality and IN
christianity in the conduct and man
agement of the Agricultural and Me.
chanical college, as well as the State
University. The reverend gentleman
ought to be excused, when it is under
stood he was simply trying to injure
state institutions of learning, that
such injury might be of advantage to
private college in which he is inter
ested. He was simply obeying the
dictates of selfish humanity.
