BIsMARCK'S CRUEL EDICT,
Germany Becoming Indignant at the
Suffering Among Polish Exils.

Germany Becoming Indignant at the
Suffering among Polish Exils.
The progreSsists in the German
Reichstag have resolved to make the
governments action in expelling Rus
sian Poles from Prussia a leading par
idmentary question as soon as the
session of the Reichstag are resumed.
The deputy, Professor Mueller, pro-
presses to appeal to the German gov-
eminent to withdraw the edict of eX-
pulslon on the ground that the opera
lions under 1t injure German as much
as foreign interests. The municipal
authorities of Konigsberg also have
resolved to send a strong protest
against the explosions to Prince Bis
marck, who is the author of the edict.
This protest will describe the terrible
sufferings to which the Poles, thus un-
Justly exiled, are subjected, and declare
them stain and dishonor upon the
German name. Many of the ex-
PEELED Poles have to pass through
Konigsberg on their way to the FROM
tier, and the great majority of them
reach the city in such AFFECT distress
that the town has been compelled,
from motives OF charity, to maintain
a public relief committee for their as
sistance. AS many as eight hundred
penniless and starving Polish exiles
have been in the custody of the conn
mittee at one time. The German
newspapers are becoming thoroughly
aroused on the subject of the expul-
sions. Most of them, without regard
to party affiliations, ARE now protesting
against the barbarity and il Humanity
of them, and describe them as an OUT
rage that must evoke the ndignation
of the entire world.

ON THE SUBJECT.
BY All Means, Texas Ought to be
Represented by a Full
Delegation.
To Remain Away Will be an Ad-
mission That They Have no
Good Cause to Complain
Of Past Injustice:

Mr.. Frank M. Maddox, of the we'll
known land men and ranch owners,
Maddox Bros. & Anderson, has re-
Gently returned from their Menard
county ranch. Yesterday he was
''ro1nded up" by a reportorial cline
rider" when the following conVersa-
ton took place:
Reporter-Do you expect to attend
the
NATIONAL MEETING AT ST. LOUIS
next month?
Mr.. Maddox-Yes, sir, and 1 think
every cow man in Texas, particularly
those living south of the "dead line"
who can possibly leave his home,
ought to do likewise.
Rep.-Then you look upon the meet
ing as an important one?
Mr.. MI certainly do. 1t is i'm
portant to us. The northwestern
states and territories will be there in
force, and full, united Texas delega>
ton should be there to meet and con-
front them upon all questions affect
ing our interests.
Rep.-What are the questions most
likely to be discussed at st. Louis?
Mr.. M.-Well, suppose the matter
of
TRAIL AND QUARANTINE
will take up more time than
anything else. 1 want to go this year
for business, and not for baDquetS
tres, promenade concerts and other
amusements last year. I want cur
delegates to be prepared for work,
tions come up we can meet them and
refute the silly charges about Texas
fever, so often made against US. To
stay away from the meeting would
be to acknowledge the charges as
true.
Rep.-You spoke a moment ago
about
A DAED-LINE.
Where do you think it ought to be
established?
Mr.. M.-South of the present one,
say running from point on the Rio
Grande, at Eagle Pass, thence to San
Antonio, and following the Interna.
tional road to Texarkana. I believe all
cattle driven from territory north of
that line to be as free from imparting
contagious diseases as those found
anywhere north of Red river. L agree
with Mr.. Dick Head, who is reported
in the Live Stock Journal as saying
"TWo-thirds Of the
CATTLE BREEDING GROUND OF TEXAS
is free from the influences that pro-
duce fever; that line can be drawn
across the state, beginning at Eagle
Pass on the Rio Grande, and running
northeasterly to the Red river, north
of which all cattle that are bred will
be free from the fever imparting ele-
ments. Texas is a natural breeding
ground for cattle. They cannot Be

How an Honest Yeung Haa was Re-

A short time ago a gentleman in
this city, while out driy ing, lost the
sum Of $1,000 in money. He was
considerably "sot back" over his loss,
and he was bemoaning it to his
friends, and was looking for it, when
young gentleman stepped forward
and handed him his lost treasure, say
ing it was found in the buggy. The
party who lost the money was profuse
in his verbal thanks, and by way of
rewarding the honest you2g man Who
had returned his money offered him
a nickel.
As Abe Lincoln used to say, "this
reminds us of an anecdote." There
used to be, many years ago, a dapper
little darkey, attached to the leading
hotel at Lexington, Ky. He was a
regular dude of coon. Upon one
occasion he had pert 0rmed some ex-
traordinary service for guest, who
rendered him, in payment, an old tim e

his pocket and pulling out a tWo-bit
piece, handed it to the guest.
