cess, which will make it Of national
import, adds the correspondent, is that
from the extreme Auidity Of the metal
and other qualities it can be run with
certainty into castings fall forms and
sizes, producing castingssstrue to the
pattern, remarkable sound and free
from pores and blubbers, and possessed
Of extrememely high tensile strength
and ductility. It can therefore be used
for the casting Of cannon of any size
and form.

Three years ago cotton seed was
worth $l2 per ton and this year it is
off 83 1-3 per cent. compared to the
figures Of three years ago. That year
oil Of cotton seed was 22 cents per
gallon; it is worth 38 cents now.
Cake in 1885 was $12 per ton; it is
now $50 per ton. In other words the
effect Of the trust has been to reduce
the price Of cotton seed 81 per ton and
increase the price Of its products 60
per cent In 1885 the cotton seed
mills Of Waco furnished ready
market and employed a number of Ia
borers. This year those mills are
worthless in the field of industries.
This is mentioned as direct effect Of
cause that is much deplored but con-
tlnues without rcmcdy.-Morning

The figures show that the cotton oil
trust has been anything but benefit
to Waco and McLennan county. 1t
hes injured Waco by closing down the
works and throwing large number of
wage-workers, who lived here and spent
their earnings here, out of employ
ment, not to mention the loss Of pres.
tige to the town by the closing Of such
an establishment. And finally it has
raised the price of the cotton seed
product, oil and cake, on everybody.
Comments may be useless, but people
can and will do great deal Of think
ing about such things.

THE FIERY TAMALE.
Mexican Dishes in High Favor in
Waco.

Mexican Dishes in High Favor in
Waco.
Under the most tropical sun the
most fiery, and burning of all plants
Of fruits, the cayenne pepper, has its
native heath. 1t is prominent fac
tor in almost every dish on Mexican
tables and especially in the viands of
the poorer classes. The Mexican
peasant thrives and grows fat on
beans, corn meal and cayenne pepper
with little meat and great deal of
pepper. The three staple dishes are
tortillas, tamales and chile con carne.
The tamale Is made from meat
chopped up fine and covered with a
paste of corn meal, which is wrapped
in q corn shuck and boiled several
hours. Chile con carne is a mongrel
dish, half soup half stew, made from
bean meat and red pepper. The dish
es are by no means unpalatable, the
fiery red pepper creating an appetite
with the first mouthful. A taste for
these Mexican dishes is produced
among certain classes wherever they
are introduced, and now in almost
every town and city in Texas, the
brown eyed Mexican of unknown or
unacknowledged parentage, may be
found peddling Mexican dishes
among Americans, and meeting with
good trade. It is only very few
years since the tamale and chile con
carne was first intoduced in Waco,
and the demand has been growing
steadily ever since. The unlnitiated
have little idea of the extent to which
these dishes are used in the city.
There are two places where they
are sold in great quantities, the ono
in the open air on the square, and the
other in regular restaurant on
Bridge street. In the latter place,
purely Mexican dishes are furnished,
mainly tamales and chile con carne.
1t is we'll patronized from morning
till far into the night, the remarkable
cheapness being great attraction for
the unthrifty. Six tamales are given
for nickel with knife, fork and plate
furnished and q good sized dish of
chile for the same price. In either
there is enough for good lunch and
for ten cents, a good meal may be
had. But only a part of the sales
ars in these two places. In the after
noon the chile and tamale vendors
stand on street corners, while others
carry their wares all over town and
to the limits Of the city and suburbs.
At night the trade is brisk. the fiery
tamale creates q thirst for beer and
beer suggests tamales. Seated ON d
corner curb stone till way into the
night, serving his dishes smoking
hot, the patient son Of Montezuma
rakes in the nickels and dimes, stead
lily and snugly. No reliable estimate
can be formed Of the total sales, but
Waco eats probably not less than ten
thousand tamales o day and very
likely not less than three thouaand
plates of chile con oarne.

happily-constituted people who take every
thing calmly. He quietly ignored the
evident agitation of the rest OF the party,
and talked sensibly and well on many sub
jects, and Biddulph was thankful for the
presence OF this well-read stranger; il
made things easier for them all. And
after lunch was over, Nora rose and re-
tired to her own room, and, 10 Biddulph's
surprise and secret disappointment, did
not reappear the whole OF the day.
But as he lay on his couch by the win
dow, longing, yet half dreading again TO
look on the sweet, familiar face, which he
had seen many times in his dreams since
they last parted, he little thought that
Nora was giving away in secret to the Bit
terest tears, caused by the great change in
his own appearance, and his but too evi-
dent ill-health.
1t had been a shock and a surprise al
most too great for words, when she had
first lifted her eyes TO his face, and read
there the signs OF weakness, WEAKNESS,
and pain. She had tried to hide it from
him; but no sooner was she alone than
the pent-up anxiety and fear in her own
heart quite overwhelmed her, and it was
some time before she could recover her
composure.
When she did so, her eyelids were red
and swollen, and her face stained with
tears. Then a message was brought 10
her from Mrs. Jock, 10 ask her 10 20 to see
Malcolm Fraser, TO whom his mother had
now broken the intelligence that Nora
was in the same hotel, and the news had
greatly excited the young invalid.
Nora bathed her eyes, and went to this
painful interview with a sinking heart
And the sight of Malcolm's white face,
his deep emotion, and the knowledge Of
hls pitiable condition, so moved her, that
again tears rushed unbidden into her eyes,
and she could only falter out a few brokeR
words.
"You-are better2" she said, holding
his thin hand fast in her trembling one.
Malcolm sighed, and fixed his eyes
wstfully on her face, but spoke no
word
ellis mother will take care of him now,"
said Mrs. Jock, who was standing near,
watching half jeaiously this sad meeting.
''Yes," said Malcolm. half bitterly, half
tenderly, 81 have my mother now; she
will not change to me, Nora" and Nora
understood the covert reproach, though,
in truth, the poor boys own feelings had
always mislead him as to hers.

The Mills bill reduces the present republican
duty on rice 20 per cent. and on rice meal %
per cent, frying this fat out of South Caro-
lima and Georgia, the gulf states losing $5O0, ,0Oo
And every republican newspaper and bowler
is shouting that the Mills bill puts up the duty
on sugar to SO per cent. and on rice to 100 per
cent. that "the South is in the saddle"

men in the republican party let them come out
now.

they are being lied to by their editors and ora

HEAVY FAILURE
With o Tragic Side to It-A Chicago Mans
Downfall.

CHICAGO, Sept &C. C. Holton, a we'll
known furniture dealer at 224 Wabash-ave.
made confession OF judgment this morning,
aggrerating S6n000. His liabilities are esti-
mated at from So, 900 TO $4,000; his assets at
$4,000 to S70,OQO. The creditors are chiefly
residents Of this city.
MIR. HaltOn was not al his place OF business
and is said 70 be dangerously III.
There is a tragic side to the failure just
after the murder of Millionaire Smell Mr..
Holton's youngest son purchased revolver
and constituted himself night watchman for
his fathers house. One morning, as the boy
and his brother were getting up. the lad pointed
his revolver at his brother, saying. laughingly:
"You are a burglar, and I'll shoot you" The
weapon was discharged, giving the elder son
wound, from which he died a few days later.
The son thus accidendy killed was Mr. Holton's
chief business associate, the cashier and assist
ant boOkkeeper OF the establishments
From the shock OF this tragedy Mr.. Holton
never recovered. lie lost interest in his busi.
ness which suffered in consequence. From
this detection his friends were unable TO rouse
him. Seeing that the business was steadily
losing money. the principal creditors took
measures to save themselves, which resulted IN
the proceedings OF to-day.

AN AMERICAN LADY.

The lady who seems destined to be Mrs.
Cleveland's successor in the White House is
thoroughly American. She does not look to
London or Paris for examples in what she
considers the prophecies Of fashion. The
edict of Queen Victoria requiring all ladies
presented at Court to wear low .necked
dresses will not be recognized by Mrs Har-
rson as law for Americn ladies to follow.
She has, it is said, ga civilized and Amer.
can prejudice against nature unadorned in
a ballroom or at dinner" Mrs. Harrison
has never been subjected to the despotism
Of New York fashionable society which re-.
ceives all the ideas from London and adopts
them without regard to climatic conditions.
The Western lady counts money in dollars
not in guineas and estimates the English
stamp as its merits. Some such influence as
this is needed in the higher American social
circles. The New York and Boston society
ladies live about one third their time IN Lon.
don and run over to America to set English
fashions. They affect English pronouncia
ton, English styles Of dress, and to an ex.
tent English habits. While nothing good
should be rejected because it is English it is
about time to exercise some discrimination in
the adoption Of English fashions.-S. +. Call.

GENERAL HARRISON will not be ha

GENERAL HARRISON will not be hamp-
pered by an adverse majority in either houses
of Congress. The Senate is Republican, and
so is the House. He is not the man to take
any steps backward in national policy. As
to the course Of himself and his party, the
Boston Journal puts the case clearly and
fully when it says:
A prudent and progressive policy toward
the two great national problems of the civil
service and the tariff will enable the Repub.
lican party to go before the peoele four years
hence so strong that no serious opposition can
confront it. Its old adversaries are beaten,

WHAT TO ANNEX.

No more is heard about the scheme to an
mex part of Idaho to this State. Whether it
has fallen through entirely or not, we do not
know, but while there is so much talk OF an.
nexing Canada, and other foreign countries,
to the United States, we would suggest that
the annexing that would do Nevada the most
good, and also the people who live in the
Sierras, would be that of the portion Of Cal
ifornia which lies on the East side of the
summit of the Sierras. This territory by
nature belongs to Nevada.
1t is not improbable that the people living
IN California, on this siee Of the ridge would
prefer to be classed as Nevadans rather than
as Californians. Their interests are more
closely identified with this State than they
are with California.
The amount of property that California
would lose is not great, and that State could
easily stand it for she gets everything from
Nevada anyway. In fact it would make our
State little more prosperous and thereby
give California little fatter bird to pluck.
The irrigating question could be better ad-
vanced in our State if the territory spoken Of
belonged to US, in that water storage reser-
voirs could be built further towards the head
of the streams than now and still be in the
State.
If there is to be any annexing done let our
representatives at Washington see if this
proposition cannot be successfully worked up.
