Denies the Mormon Re ports.

New YORK, October 9.-A City of
Mexico special says: Henry Eyring,
representative here of the colonies in
the state of Chihuahua, denies the re-
port that the Mormon church has
about four million acres of land in
that state, formerly the property of
the Zuni Indians. He also denies the
charge that the Mormons contemplate
moving enmasse. The Mormons here
now number only $50 families, occupy
ing 10000 acres in Chihuahua. There
is much discussion in the press re-
garding the Mormon immigration, and
general sentiment is adverse to it.

She Put Her Foot Into II.

That is just what the fashionable
lady did who bought her hosiery at
Wolfson's, and she said that she had
not seen such aperfect love of stock
ing at anything like that figure since
she had left New York. Nothing
shapes the ends of being like well-fit-
ting hosiery, and it is no longer neces-
sary to pay fancy prices for the most
stylish articles. Try Wolfson's and be
astonished at the very low figures he
will give you on ladies and misses
hosiery, the very best, and in variety
never before seen in San Antonio. 2t

Jack Frost's Compliments,

England and France, as we'll as
sections of our own north, have al
ready been visited with snow storms,
and all weather prophets predict a
very cold winter. Blankets and COM
fortables will be early inquired after,
and Wolfson, with his usual fore
thought, has provided them. In
blankets he shows the largest and
choicest assortment ever brought to-
the southwest; and in comforts is
equally we'll stocked. Don't tf.ak of
going cold and shivering in bed when
you can sleep as snug as bug in q
rug under Wolfson's blankets. He
has them at prices that cannot be
duplicated, from cents up to dollars. 2t

Brazilian Revenue Bill.

New YORK, October 8.-A Rio
Janiero special to the Herald says, the
revenue bill has at last come on for
discussion in the chamber of deputies.
Among the new clauses added by the
commission to the bill, the only i'm
portant ones are by the committee
authorization to government to mOdi-
fy the tariff in accordance with al y
commercial treaty negotiated witn
the United States, and conceding
favors to the import of Brazilian
sugar, and other agricultural pro-
duct of Brazil authorization
to raise the import duties of foreign
manufactures, similar to those manu-
featured in Brazil; sufficiently to COM
pensate Brazilian producers for the
reduction in currency value of import
ed goods, due to the lessened pre-
MUM of gold since the present
tariff was drawn up. The principal
articles affected by this clause are
Heavy cotton, coarse woods and furni-

Negro Superstition Causes Murder

ABERDEEN, Miss, Oct. S.-Yester-
day morning Shop Anderson, a col
ored butcher, met Solomon Copeley, a
negro farmer, in front of the Metho-
dist church. Anderson accused Cope
ley of planting conjuring bottles and
Voodoo roots around his house. Cope
ley denied the charge, calling Ander-
son liar. Anderson drew revolver
and fired, killing Copeley instantly.
The murderer surrendered. The
negroes claim that Anderson did
right as Copeley was regarded by
them as a professional conjurer.

Why Wolfson Does Not Quote. Price,

Why Wolfson Does Not Quote. Prices
Wolfson advertises most literally,
and in an infinite variety CT ways, but
he never quotes prices, because it is
misleading. He does not desire to
be classed with those who advertise
special drives at prices below i'm
porters' prices, and then, when such
goods are called for, IN sem customers
that the run on that class of goods
has been SO great that none are left.
Mr.. Wolfson has been all over that
ground and knows all about it, It. IS
only dodge to rope in customers,
hoping to sell them something else at
a high figure. Wolfson's goods are
offered at lower prices than can be
found in the state outside of his house.
He makes no variations from those
prices. Every day figures are lowest
fiugres with him, and all who come
TO his counters are treated alike.
Carrying the largest stock in the
state; buying always in unbroken
packages for cash; he secures the
lowest prices and sells as he buys.
He advertises no drives to deceive,
but will give you lower figures than
you can get elsewhere, and only asks
a comparison of prices to demon strate
that fact. He has the largest stock
of goods he has ever offered and is
going to sell it. Those who buy of
him will get bargains every day. ct

pablicans put a tariff on the tin coming
into this country, and yet they don't call
themselves free traders. They let all kinds
Of immigration come into this country free
to compete with American labor, but they
will not allow us to import sheep into this
country to produce wool in competition
with American farmers, unless we pay a
duty on sheep. Our American laborers
are not protected by q law guaranteeing
them their trade. We have all kinds Of
expert tradesmen and women coming to
this country taking the place Of our Amer
lean people and offering to work for less
wages than We can afford to work for.
Americans generally learn only one branch
Of a trade, while the foreigner learns all
the branches; therefore, the foreigner has
the advantage Of the American.
In conclusion, If Gen. Gof was a self
made man like Hon. John E KeDna, he
would have the experience to make better
laws for the general public, more especi-
ally for the working elass,

At present, bat ii it gets worse Congress
meets in q few months again, when it can
be changed. He raises from fifty to n
hundred head of sheep He believes that
with the Mills bill in iOree he would more
than make up on the neeessaries of life u
less he might sustain in a cheaper wool.
But he believes in free wool from another
standpoint. He thinks if it were free that
importstiOns Of manufactured woolens
would cease ard wooden mills would be
erecteda all around US, thereby giving steady
work TO a large number Of wage earners,
and creating a local market for the wool,
which would raise the price to the Eastern
standard. Az it is row his clip is sold 10
a broker or speoulatOr at several cents a
pound less than the market price East.
Mr.. BOYD should iUausurste a series of
tariff dc5atss in his peighbOrhOod. It is a
thorough discussion Of tariff that will open
the peoples eyes ard enable them to act for
their own interests i~nteiligently.

THE decision OF the U. 5. Supreme Court
in the case of BOWMAN against a Chi
clgo railroad is a hard blow to the Prohi
bifion u in Iowa. Tue Iowa law pro-
hibits the importation OF liquors into the
state. BOWMAN was q brewer, he or
dered 2 quantity of whisky frOm Chicago.
.It was delivered (, the Chicago and North
western railroad, which declined to receive
ard transfer it. BOWMAN brought suit
against the company, snd after = prOtracted
legal fight, the court Of iass resort decided
the case in hi5 favor, oI the ground that
the p~rohibitory law was an attempt to reg
ulate interstate commerce.
The decision establishes the right Of any
citizen of Iowa TO import liquors in sny
quantity. l. settles the fact that other
States can sell jntoxicaats in a prohibition
State, while that privilege Is deniel her
own citizens.
Here is room for reflection for IVES. Viz
giuiaus. II prohibition in West Virginia
will amount to no more than compelling
our citizens to pnrcbase their liquors in
Ohio, Pennsylvania or Kentucky, it will
hardly commend itself to the sober sense OF
the taxpayer, who is asked to cut of a val
liable source OF income to enrich the people
of another State.

THE BrOtherhOOd's strike on the West
ern railroad system Is reduced to its orig
inal proportions on the Burlington road.
The proposition Of the engineers on the
Northwestern lines to 90 out and thus
bring the business Of that great system to
a standstil, will NOT meet with public IA
vor. The result Of the trouble on the
Atchisoa is Q warning. Il was a costly
piece of generalship for the Brotherhood OF
Engineers to attempt to cripple all roads
financially connected with the Burlington.
Whatever may be the real and substan-
tial grievances Of the Burlington engineers
they do not Justify the paralysis OF busi-
ness on the line of a common carrier only
remotely connected with that road.
Chief ARTHUE did wisely in ordering
the Atchison strikers TO work. lie will be
entitled TO public praise IL he restraints the
Burlington trouble to its present limits,
The desire Of the engineers to aid their
brethren is natural, but that aid should he
confined to the proper channels.
The merely sympathetic strike Is a fail
urs in this country. The organization
that attempts it loses the public sympathy,
which is freely accorded the labOriDg nan
in his fight sgainss real grievances.

DEMOCRATIC UNASIMITY.

While Republican leaders are all at
sea for q Presidential candidate, il is sig
nifcant TO note the practical uuanimiiy
with which the administration OF Pr5si-
dent CLEVELAND is endorsed by the mem'
bers of his party. The Providence Tas-
0ram has completed q canvass Of the lead
ing representatives Of the Democratic
plrty in Rhode Island. The questions
~prOpouuded were two: Do you favor the
denomination OF President CLEVELAND?
and are you in sympathy with his tariff
reform views.
The result shows that the party in that
State is enthusiasts ia its support Of both.
Democrats Of every shade and school from
the straight-out JsasgSoniau to the in
deperdsnt endorse the administration as
em;nently honest and able. and advocate
the denomination of Mr.. CLEVELAND, Ona
platform practically in accord with the
opinions expressed in his tariff message.
Prof E. B. ANDREWS, professor Of his
tory and political economy in Brown Uni
vsrsity, writes q remarkable letter, in
which he expresses the strongest approval
of the administration policy. Prof. An
DREws says:
ssNr. Cleveland bss made an extraordi-
narily good President. His adminiStra-
ton has been wholly patriotic, and, IN the
main. very wise. Every one has conn
doDce that the c%ouutry will be safe 50 long

availability, there - not, i believe, anotner
Dsmoerat ia the land who would unite the

in ANYTHING like the degree in which Mr..

question of the circular, the State con-
y.ntion should By all means e K
press approval of President CleVe-
lands tariff reform message" Tn views
Of that message are temperate, eoncilistory,
and sound. The country suffers daily for
rho realization of them. In my Judgement,
She Democratic party never In al its long
history hsda finer opportunity to olstin-
guish itself, whether from the point OF
