RETALIATION BILL.
Text OF Bill Introduced Because
of the Presidents Message.

I9XG OF Bill lnCrOduced because
of the Presidents Message.
The following bill was introduced in
congress Immediately upon the reading
of the presidents fisheries message. 1t
will pass the house, but hardly the senates
An act TO empower the president more
effectually to carry out the purposes Of
an act entitled, IAN act to authorize the
president to protect and defend the rights
of American fishermen, American trading
and other vessels, in certain cases, and for
other purposes, approved March 3, 1887,
and to authorize the president to protect
American interests against unjust dis
crimination in the use of canals in the
British dominions of North America"
Be it enacted, etc., that whenever the
president may deem it his duty to exercise
any of the powers given to him by an act
entitled San act to protect and defend the
rights of American fishing vessels" etc.,
it shall be lawful for the president, in his
discretion by proclamation to that effect
to suspend, in whole or in part, the trans
portation of goods, wares and merchan-
disc imported or exported from any
foreign country, except Canada, in bond
and without the payment of duty, to OF
from the British Dom1nions in North
America across the territory of the United
States.
Sec. 2-Whenever the president shall be
satisfied that there is any discrimination
whatever in the use of the Welland canal,
the st. Lawrence river canals, the Cham
bly, canal, or either of them, whether by
tolls, drawbacks, refund of tolls or other
wise, which is or may be detrimental to
the interests of the United States or any
of its citizens, it shall be lawful for the
president, in his discretion, to- issue
proclamation to that effect, whereupon
there shall be collected toll of twenty
cents ton upon every foreign vessel and
her cargo passing through either the
Sault Ste. Marie canal or the st. Clair
Flats canal, and the secretary of the
treasury may authorize and direct any of
the customs officers to collect the tolls
levied under this act. The president,
when satisfied that such discrimination
has ceased, may issue his proclamation to
that effect, in his discretion, whereupon
the tolls authorized by this act shall no
longer be collected.
Sec. 3-The secretary of the treasury is
authorized to make any regulations need
full to carry this act into effect.

DANIELS Texas Medical journal for
August is on our table. 1t is again re-
plete with original articles from leading
Texas practitioners interesting to all.
Among them may be mentioned DR.. Den
ton, on the care of the insane, and DR..
Preston's report of the female patient at
the asylum with growth of hair in the
stomach, or "dermoid cyst" The edi-
tors remarks on yellow fever and quaran.
tine are of value just at this time.

ENRAGED at the massacre of Prince
Mulay the emperor of Morocco has given
most barbarous orders to his army, the
soldiers being licensed to burn, piIlage,
destroy, outrage women, and spare neither
children nor the aged. But the emperor
was the first to transgress the rules of
civilized warfare by acting in bad faith
with deputation of rebels, who are re-
ported to have the emperor surrounded
at last accounts.

PROSPECTS FOR THE FALL TRADE.

While cotton on sandy uplands has been
badly damaged in this section, the recent
rains insure fine yield ON bottom fields.
Good judges now estimate half bale to
the acre as an average for Travis county,
with the chances in favor of the yield ex-
ceeding that figure. This insures 25,-
COO bales for the county. Austin will not
get all of this, ut,counting receipts from
other counties, it is believed our cotton
men between now and next
spring will handle lot less
than $4,000 bales, representing money
value of $1,250,000. This will be nearly
doubling on our cotton trade of last sea-
son. Add to this the corn crop-absolutely
the largest ever made in this section-and
the heavy yield of oats, rye, barley, potatoes
and other products, and who shall say that
the prospect for good fall trade is not
excellent?
Again, there is the chance of new rail
road connections, while the revenues de-
rived by our commerce from the expendi-
lures of the state have not been lessened.
This is no rose colored view of the
situation, but one justified by the facts.
Such being the case we have no room to
prumble,

IT will be interesting to note what effect
the presidents late message will have upon
Mr.. Morton. He has large railroad inter-
ests in Canada, which, if the policy out
lined in the message is resorted to and
carried out, will be severely crippled. His
purse will certainly pull him to opposi-
ton to the president end his essentially
American pOlicy-but can he afford to
take stand that will give point to sus-
picion everywhere? Harrison with his
Chinese labor, and Morton with his i'm
ported hands and his Canadian railroad
stock, make very picturesque pair.

WITH splendid crops assured, with
money plenty guaranteed for this fall,
why should that board of trade building,

TIE DEEP WATER CONVENTION.

The Denver deep water convention met
yesterday with general and loud-voiced
enthusiasm, and then got Immediately to
work. There is much, very much at stake
in the deliberations of that body, one
when its objects are considered the most
important and wonderful that ever was
organized since the history of this gov
eminent was commenced. The pros perity,
the wealth, the full development, of a vast
territory, an almost boundless en-
pire, are at stake. Able and repre-
sentative men compose that conven-
tion. They have assembled with a
grave and weighty purpose in view, and,
backed by the influence and the hopes of
their several states and territories, they
mean to accomplish that purpose. OBJ
stacles and perplexities confront them.
But, with these known in advance, they
can accomplish their end with the greater
certainty and expedition. Texas is greatly
interested in that cOnventio rs work, and
she is watching its proceedings with the
keenest interest.

The yellow fever in Jackson vile, so far,

The bagging trust is stirring up indig-

them for thus retaliatiug? But it would
turn Europe and America upside down

A bill in the English parliament pro-
poses to compel the sellers of foreign

the idea being that people are deceived
into buying foreign meat for the English
article as they are into purchasing oleo-
margarine for butter.

II about LiUer Diseases in Northwestern Ohio.
The liver is the largest gland of the body and the
labratoTy of mans whole system and is the primary
cause of more trouble in this climate than all else
combined. SO much has been said and so much
has been suffered, snd many lives have been sac
rfced to the false practice of overlooking the great
cause and doctoring its many effects such as Rheu
matism, Sick H Headache, Neuralgia, Dropsy, Heart
Disease and Constipation or Costveness, and stom-
ach Diseases, Dyspepsia, Indigestion, and many
effects arising from disordered condition OF ihe
liver. And yet it goes on every day. Well, DR.. how
can this be helped? will tell you how: Call Mt
Humphreys Drug Store, and buy for $1.O0, which
s the price of one call from your physician enough

AConfsderate soldier,s supper.

The night after the battle of Malvern
Hill was cold and rainy. 1t was just
such a night as would cause man
thinly clad to wish he was slowed
away in some snug place beneath
several blankets. On this night the
regiment to which Mr.. John Purcell of
this place belonged, had stacked arms
and the shivering men were endeavor-
ing to shelter themselves from the rain
as best they could. Mr.. Purcell, wet
and shivering, walked off short dis
tance from the others, in search of a
more choice place in which to suffer
through the night. Presently he came
to man prone on the ground with q
blanket spread over him. Here was
his chance. He would get under the
blanket with him. Lifting the blanket
and feeling cautiously, so as not to
awake the sleeper, he was delighted to
find blanket under as we'll as over
him. With as little noise as possible he
crawled under, snuggled up near his
unknown bedfellOw and tried to sleep.
But he was too hungry to sleep--he
was awful hungry. Cautiously feeling
