One of Philadelphia's leading So
ciety ladies has her saurkraut made at
home just as her mother and grand
mother did, but it is quietly limited
in blue-blood circles that she makes
the servant who does the stamping
wash his feet before beginning that
process, which is vitality necessary to
good saurkraut. In the back Penn
sylyania Dutch region the ablution is
disregarded, and some of the older
people hold that this is proper. 1t is
a fact, however, that in one residence
on West Walnut street saurkraut is
made and stamped" with bare feet.

Magnificent Small Gram Crop--A jail

Special Telegram to the statesman.
HASKELL, June 10 Stockmen, grapg-
ers, merchants, lawyers and land men are
smiling most profusely at the bright
prospects of better times coming.
The happy husbandman is seen daily
now harvesting his golden grain.
Haskell county begins to resemble old
Illinois with her golden wheat fields.
We have the best crop ever made in
Northwest Texas.
Oats will yield eighty-fve to 100
bushels per acre; wheat from twenty
five to forty; millet, sorghum, cane
and corn in proportion. The plum
crop WAS never larger, nor was the
fruit ever better. This Is most
luscious species of plum growing wild in
the greatest abundance upon the many
beautiful streams traversing this, the val
ley county of the northwest.

TRAVIS COUNTY HAS a CLAIM UPON BE
CITIZENS.

Austin and Travis county have very
many citizens who would, in the legisla-
ture, reflect credit upon the city, county
and the state. These gentlemen, in con-
Quoting their private affairs, do not use
agents selected at random or in whom
they have not perfect confidence. Why
then should they feel warranted in letting
other than the very best men to be had
conduct in the legislature the affairs Of
their county? 1t cannot be because they
consider these affairs unimportant. Travis
county is guarding, more particularly
than any other county of the state, the
welfare of the University, and all the
state eleemosynary institutions located in
Austin, should have at her command
the very best ability in the county
These gentlemen should not shirk
this duty and responsibility be-
cause they do not consider the remu-
neration and honor sufficient to compen-
safe them for their time and labor. II
the good men of counties and states are
always to shuu such duties properly de-
manded of them by the welfare of the state,
then, by placing In incompetent hands the
administration of the government, license
is given unequal laws and the seeds OF
misrule are sown broad cast through the
land. A true and honest citizen should not
shirk the reciprocal duty that rests upon
him 10 work for the state that protects
him in life, liberty and property. This,
as a general rule, is admitted, but in its
application friction occurs between per-
sonal desires and the claims of this duty.
In the case OF our own county, we
would have our people consider
not only the general debt due the state,
but the fact that our county has been Pc
culiarly advantaged in being chosen the
seat of the capital of the state; and,
through that choice, Is yearly in receipt of
numberless special and particular benefits
flowing to no other county in the state.
For these reasons, as we'll as in our own
Travis county should feel pecu
liar pride in having in every Legislature
the strongest delegation of the state, not
only TO testify our appreciation of the
honors conferred, but to maintain and
amplify the rights enjoyed. Who of our
prominent men, when they carefully
think of these things, can afford to refuse
the demand of their county upon them
should that county desire to place them
in the legislature!

THE REALM OF THE NEW EMPEROR

The German empire, over which the
new emperor, by the accident of fortune,
is now called to rule, has an area less than
that of Texas, population of 100000
Proteetarts, 100000 Catholics, and 5OO.-
900 Hebrews; a funded debt of little
over S10O,O0o,000, a standing army Of
half million men, and navy of 100 YES
sells and 10000 men. The empire, founded
in 1871, succeeded to the North German
confederation of 1866, and consists Of four
kingdoms, six grand duchies, five dHchies,
seven municipalities and three free towns;
In all twenty-five independent states, to
which was added Alsace-Lorraine, Rf-
ter the Franco-German war. The struc-
ture of the empire, constitutional mon.
srchy, is, in some respects, similar to the
United States. The bundesrsth, which
answers to our federal senate. consists of
two members elected by each sovereign
state, while the reiohstag, like our house
OF representatives, is made up of repre-
sentatives elected directly by the people
of the different states, kingdoms and prip.
cipalities. So that any wild scheme of
the young emperor could be choked off
by the German congress, who hold tina,
great source of power, the purse strings.
Bismarck himself has not heretofore been
superior to that body.

THE OREGON LESSON.

In the canvass four years ago Oregon
was lost to the democrats by about two
thousand votes. In that canvass it was
not proposed to iujure any domestic
industries, but rather to promote their
healthy growth. At the election recently
held in that state for congressman and
for members of the legislature, upon a
state platform which declared in favor of
Stree wool and free lumber" Oregon
has been lost to the democracy by a ma
jority more than twice as large
as was given four years ago. The re-
turns show decreased democratic vote
and correspondingly increased republic
can vote. OF the counties in eastern
Oregon, heretofore always reliable for
fifteen hundred democratic majority, all,
without exception, gave republican plural
tiles. The Oregon election is an.emphatic
declaration the people of that state are
not in favor of Stree trade" If the Stree
traders" succeed in migrating their mis-
construction of the tariff plank of the
national democracy upon the minds of
the voters in the states of New York,
Indiana, New Jersey and Connecticut, the
Oregon election of June will be the harbin-
ger of defeat for November. The platform
upon which Mr.. Cleveland will make his
canvass this year reaffirms the one upon
which he was elected four years ago, which
says: at is not proposed to injure any
domestic industries, but rather to pro-
mote their healthy growth"

TAYLOR, June 15.-The clouds have rolled
by and sunshine has signed for a season,
making it lovely weather for the grsngers
to get their cotton out of the weeds and
small grain housed. The oat and wheat
crop will be slightly damaged by the con-
tinued rats. Corn is magnificent and
will be the largest crop Willie county
has ever prodRced. The acreage of cotton
is about % per cent over last year, but is
not far enough advanced to bet on yet
One-half bale to the acre will give Taylor
5000 bales this fall.
A great many cattle are being shipped
now, owing to the advance in the Chicago

DEATH OF EMPEROR FREDERICK.

To the people of two continents, wi o
have, for months past sympathised in
the terrible sufferings of the GermH n
emperor, his death yesterday was no sur
prise. Thus has passed away one of the
really great men of our era.
Recently succeeding his father, the late
Emperor William, Frederick was not a
youthful prince, having been born octo-
Der Is, 1881. While one of the most
eOurtly gentlemen of his time, he, in his
boyhoot, learned the trade of cabinet
maker, in which he was an adept, and was
alsa!s fond of farming and simplicity of
life.
In ISIS, while yet an obscure prince, he
vas married to Victoria, princess royal,
eldest daughter of the queen of England.
The fruits OF this union are six living
children, including Frederick vii
liam, born January, 1859, and who
nov sseends the German throne, and
Who, like his father, IN his youth, learned
a trade, that of printer, ana worked
many time in the press room. Both en-
;ercd the army st an early sge. Freder-
lex III greatly distinguished himself in
the Prussian and Franco German
wars of 1866 and 1s7O-1. In the latter,
he served as field marshal and came face
TO face with some of the most distin-
guished French generals. He was con-
spicuous figure in the great battle of
Sedan.
Brief as was the rule of Frederick III,
king of Prussia and emperor of Germany,
s. the head Of one of the foremost military
powers of the earth, there were evidences
that, had he lived, his reign would have been
as wise, great and glorious as was that of
William 1. Ali eyes will now be turned
upon his son, who sscends a throne that
has been so full of vicissitude.

TRAVIS COUNTY ROADS.

new bridge across the Colorado river
has been secured for the convenience of
the people living in the southeastern por-
ton of the county, and attention should
now be turned to the condition of our
county roads. 1t is admitted that heavy
travel over these roads in rainy weather
is utterly impossible, so that farmers
must haul their goods to town during the
dry seasons. But it is also known that it
is the custom OF farmers TO utilize
the wet weather, when they cannot
work on the farm, by coming
to the city to sell goods and make pur-
shsses. During the dry and sessonable
weather they have plenty to occupy them
in making or securing their crops. Good
roads can be had in Travis county for
comparatively little money, but even if
they cost thousands upon thousands of
dollars, they would prove a wise invest
ment. Fine turnpikes interlacing the
thickly settled and business portions of
the county, would add greatly to all prop
erty and taxable values in the county.
They would be source of never ceasiug
comfort; they would take off the embargo
on heavy travel in the wet seasons;
would, for this reason, be a source
of revenue to the farmers, and the
benefit that would accrue to Austin is not
easy of estimation. The county commits
