We do not have to 20 far from home to
find the first fruits OF the Texas Mills
monetrosity. A company just organizes
at Wheeling to erect and operate large
pottery, has decided to let no contracts
uRtil the iateoi the Mills bill has been de-
cided. It will also put damper on nu-
merous other industrial enterprises, and
give . general check to industry and
trade during Tia dependency. Tho sooner
1t Is Slaughtered, therefore, the better It
will be for the country.

THAT BRIDGE.
The County Commissioners Are in
Favor of It.

The county commissioners were in ses-
sion yesterday to consider a petition
signed by over 1900 citizens, asking that
another bridge be constructed across the
river.
The commissioners met in the county
court room, which was filed with repre-
sentative citizens.
Hon. A. w. Terrell, Hon. Il. S. Maxey
and Mayor Male addressed the court, urg-
ing that bridge be constructed at once.
A recommendation from the board of
trade that the bridge be built was also
read.
The commissioners then took the mat
ter under advisement, and passed reso-
luton authorizing survey at different
points to be made from the mouth of
East avenue to Thompson's ferry, three
miles below town, and the work will be
done at once.
Mayor Nalle Captain Matber, Hon. A.
W. Terrell and others, publicly announced
yesterday that if the bridge cost over
$4,000, they and others would pay the
difference.
The commissioners are unanimously in
favor of building the bridge, but they
want it done at the most feasible and best
point.
In this connection it is said there is a
movement on foot among property
holders of Austin to render financial aid
to put al the leading county roads in
first-class order.

THE VETERANS,
They VIII Go TO Their Annual
Reunion Free.

Some days ago The STATESMAN pub.
liehed that the Texas veterans would be
carried to their annual re union, at Temple.
by the railroads at one fare for the round
trip.
Since then Colonel Stephen Darden has
received the following letter, which ex-
plains ITSELF
Honorable Stephen II. Darden, Secretary Texas
Veteran Association, Austin, Texas.
Dear Sir-Yours of the ninth instant
and previous date have attention.
The executive committee of the asso-
ciated roads Of Texas on yesterday granted
| free transportation to the Texas veterans,
that is, to the men that bear certificates
as such. This free transportation will be
granted by the various roads, viz The
Gulf, Colorado and Santa Fe, Fort Worth
and Denver City, Houston and Texas Cen
trail, Texas Central, Missouri Pacific,
Houston, East and West Texas, Texas
ard Pacific, st. Louis, Arkansas and
Texas, and st. Louis and San Francisco,
in such form as thtir respective manage
ments may elect. This will authorize you
to make application to the arrangements
of the roads herein famed for such free
| trans portation.
Mr.. Yoakun, general manager of the
San Antonio AID Aranses Pass railway,
which road is not of the association, was
present, and acquiesced, so that you are
authorized to apply to him as well. l
cannot say the Southern Pacific company
will grant this free transportation, but
you ere at liberty to correspond with Mr..
Hutchinson at New Orleans on that ac-
count.
The homogeneous of the railroads
named herein are very anxious to aid the
Veteran association that you represent,
but they think that they are entitled to
know, or to have at least, aroster of its
male membership (they cannot recognize
female members), ard hope that at your
coming meeting you will make up this
roster and forward it to me, and there
after each succeeding roster previous to
your annual meeting. Yours truly,
j. WALDO, Commissioner.

Texas as She Is.

The following tribute from the New
York Mercury deserves wide publication,
and it is reproduced with an Obeisence
Murat Halstead, who abused the state
flag of New York recently, ought to go to
Texas some time from May IA to 49,
Texas has flag with lone star. 1t
waved over the republic when Houston,
Lamar and Burnett were presidents. 1t
will wave over the magnificent new capitol
at Austin at the above named time, when
the edfice is to be dedicated by civil and
military ceremonies and displays. Cover
nor Ross will see that the Lone Star
shines on the dome of the capitol as the
symbol Of the sovereignty of the great
and expanding state of Texas. Texas
ownes her public lands and is opposed to
partition. She has built her great capitol
TO stay as she is in territory. The repub-
| lie, with its flag, was annexed, not
destroyed. In federal matters the federal
flag symbolize5 delegated power; in sta c
affairs the Lone Star banner symbolzes
the rights withheld for her own benefit at
the time of annexation. Honor and pros
perlty for our sister Empire State! The
Sunday Mercury acknowledges an invita-
tim TO be present 1T the dedication of the
new capitol.

In Grateful Acknowledgements.

The ladies of st. Davids' church desire
to express their sincere gratitude to Mrs.
Katzenberger for her kindness, in so
nobly aiding them in their two entertain
ments. Their appreciation can be some
what coniecture1, when it IS known that
she came over from San Antonio to lend
her valued aid to the entertainments, and
without any remuneration whatsoever, ex-
cept the gratitude of the ladies in charge,
and the audiences who were fortunate
enough to hear her.
To Mrs. Mitchell, also, they are greatly
indebted for her resistance in the concert.
BY misadvertence, Mrs. Mitchell's pane
was omitted in yesterdays report, and
another lady who did not sing, mentioned
instead. The reporter was slightly mud

unreasonable. Mrs. Mitchell's singing

The Companies Badly Scooped,
Towns Having Fire Apparatus.
Tho Association of Fire Underwater:
for Texas have sent out a report dated
April 4, from which the following is
culled:
From the reports of the state commits
sioner of insurance we find that tho ratio
of losses in Texas to premiums received
was % Oh per cent in 1882; 7l.S4 per
cent in 1888; 1924 per cent in 1884
112 90 per cent in 1885; 1888 per cent IN
1886, and 68.S6 per cent in 1887. If we
add 80 per cent of the premiums to the
above, that being the average amount
paid by each company in agents COM
missions, taxes, printing, postage and
other expenses, we see that 1886 was the
only year in that period which proved
profitable to the companies. The average
loss for the ak years is II per cent Of the
premiums received. Addii & to this the
80 per ceut for expenses we see that the
total ratio il ll2 per cent. The receipts
during these six years were ST. 1861 ,G62.36
The companies have thtrefo'e paid back
into Texas ~ per cent of this amount, or
about 81 100000 more than hoy received
in the same period"
