j. T. Dickinson, Secretary, ETC., Austin, Texas
Dear Sir-Your letter received, as also
the invitations sent per EXPIRE S. In &C.
oordance with the request of your board,
the Texas delegation in congress, accom-
panied by Senator Farwell, of Illinois, aud
by several gentlemen from Texas now Wis
itIng the city, waited on the president
yesterday morning, and delivered to him
the invitations to himself and Mrs. Cleve-
land to attend the military and civic cele-
bration to be held in Austin from May II
to 10, in honor of the dedica-
ton of the new capitol of
Texas, accompanied with personal
solicitations that they be accepted. Our
interview with the president was informal
and pleasant. He seemed pleased with
the manifestation of regard from Texas,
and expressed a strong desire to accept
the invitation and enjoy the pleasures of
a trip to Austin, but while not declining
absolutely, gave us to understand that his
duties here would in all probability pre-
vent him from going. The invitations to
the Mexican minister and to President
Diaz of Mexico were also delivered to the
former at his residence. Wewere received
by him with great courtesy, and his re-
grets we're expressed that he was not able
positively to promise to attend. He in
formed US that he would forward to Presi-
dent Diaz at once the invitation to him,
ard that he would return fitting acknowl-
edgement of it. Mr.. Romero seemed
much pleased with the courtesies to him
self and the president of Mexico, and gave
strong expression to his gratitication. 1t
has given the delegation much pleasure
to comply with your request, and the only
regret felt is that, in consequence oflthe
circumstances surrounding the president,
he and his wife most probably will not be
able to accept the hospitalities rendered
them. Very respectfully,
RICHARD COKE.

Sunday evening a boy, named Alex
Feuss, aged about 16 or II years, left
home saying he was going to friends
house. At night he did not return, and
his mother became anxious for his safety
Up to a late hour last night he had not
returned, and there are many theories as
to where he is.

AUSTIN, Tex, May &c, 1888.

AUSTIN, lex, May 26, 1888.
To the Honorable Mayor and Board of Aldermen:
Conference.-The undersigned members
of the special committee appointed at the
last meeting of your honorable body to
consider certain propositions looking TO
retrenchment, beg leave to report as fol-
lows upon the proposition to discharge
the assessor and collectors assistant:
From the testimony of the assessor and
collector, it appears that that officer has
been provided with an assistant for many
years past and that with our present pop
ulation and growth it will be impossible
for one man to properly perform the en-
tire duties of the Office. The very nature
of these duties demands, as matter OF
true economy and business prudence, that
they be carefully and thoroughly per-
formed. 1t occurs to me that it would be
"penny wise and pound foolish" to dis
charge the assistant collector and assessor,
whose salary is but 5000 per annum, leav-
ing the entire assessment and collection
of all real, personal and license tax to one
man. 1, therefore, recommend that the
office of assistant assessor and collector
be not abolished.
Respectfully submitted,
G. E. FISHER.

Cancer Among vegetarians.

Surgeon Major Hendley, resident sur
geon at Jappore, writes: sin The British
Medical Journal of April 2, 1883, the fol-
lowing statements are made: M. Reclus
has shown that cancer was all but un-
known among the persons whose food
was exclusively vegetable M Verneuil
also believed that the increase Of cancer
was largely due to the carnivorous habits
of diet Of the past generation. The
records Of the Mayo hospital at Jaypore,
which is under my charge, show no such
immunity of vegetarians from cancer.
From january, 1880, to the present date,
102 major operations have been performed
in the hospital In cases Of cancer. OF
these, Al were on the persons Of meat
eaters and 81 on those of strict vegeta-
rians who had never eaten meat since
their birth.
In India, where caste rules are exceed
ingly rigid, the fact that the latter were
true vegetarians Is absolute proof.
Among them are six Saraogis, class OF
jams who even reject many kinds OF
vegetables. Three Of these Saraogis suf-
fered from cancer Of the breast. Out Of
102 cases there were deaths attributable
to the operation. There is no informa-
ton available as to recurrence, or the
contrary. The cases were divided as fol-
lows: Cancer Of breast 90, tongue or lips
8, head and face II, upper extremity II,
lower extremity 8, trunk is, testicle /,
glands g. There were 60 males and 40
females, q large proportion of the latter
in a country where the purdah system Is
in force. The maximum age was &c
years, the minimum 10 years, the average
43 years. British Medical journal.

A Cabbage Trust. Why not a
Wheat TruSt2

The cabbage growers il the neigh
borhood of Weston, Wood county,
who grow large quantities of this vege-
table, for the Findlay, Toledo and
Cleveland markets, have organized a
trust which embraces all the large
cabbage growers, who refuse to sell
any of their product, which has yiel-
ded immensely this year, for less than
five cents head lii the field. This
trust controls the entire cabbage pro-
duet of northwestern Ohio.
We are opposed to trusts and COM
binations, believing them to be
wrong in principle. But sometimes
when called upon to fight the devil,
you have to make use of the weapons
used by the devil. The farmers have
had the life blood nearly crushed out
of them by the wheat spectators OF
Minneapolis, Duluth and Chicago,
aud the only way for the wheat
raiser of Minnesota to get square with
these wheat spectators and combi-
nations formed by them is to form a
wheat trust and refuse to sell bushel
of wheat until they receive the price
which the wheat raisers may fix up
on it. 1t strikes US that this would
bring the spectators to time. But II
might be a little bard on we fellows
who have to buy -four and don't raise
| anV wheat.

A Female Book Agents Triumph.


There is crusty old bachelor who has

of minor aversions, all of which serve to
bring out the rough side Of his nature.
The other day he was visited by modest
subscriptions for the cart Treasures Of
Italy" in the endeavor to provide for the
wants Of her widowed mother and her.
self. As she entered the door the old
man looked up, and, without waiting to
learn the mission Of his fair visitor,
yelled out: II haven't any money to give
with his writing. The young lady I'D.
ysnced still further into the room, and
again the old fellow called out: "And
never buy any tickets for Sunday school
excursions, either" By this time the
young lady had approached the desk and
modestly informed him of the object OF
her visit.
"Whatl A book peddlerl No, mann
no books for me. Haven't time to talk
to you. Go away and don't come here
any more"
The girl tnrned away somewhat angry
and seriously disappointed, but she said
quietly, "There is one book, sir, you
ought to buy and study well"
"What's thatf" grufay inquired the old
man.
"The Ethics Of True Politeness,'" was
the reply.
Flows that?" sputtered the old gen.
tleman, and his face grew red. ''Come
here, young woman; let's see what you've
got to sell"
And in less than ten minutes thereafter
the name of the crusty old man adorned
her subscription book.-Chicago Herald.

A Big Pyrotechnic Treat.

An amusing story is told of charita.
BILE lady here who planned a pyrotechnic
treat the other day for big orphan asy-
lum Just out of town. She invested $400
in rockets, bombs, pinwheels, and more
elaborate fireworks, such as were best
calculated to distract the minds Of be-
reaved youth. A gentleman Of her ac-
quaintance was invited to perform the
actual setting off Of the combustibles,
which. while the display was In progress,
were piled on and around O chair In the
lawn. He mildly suggested that It was
dangerous to have them SO near while the
exhibition was being given, but the OBJ.
lection was overruled by the hostess on
the ground that IL was so much more con.
venient to have them ready at hand for
use when wanted. So the entertainment
proceeded, beginning with the lighting Of
few Roman candles and other tribes,
which were intended to serve as intro.
ductory to the more scrumptious and ex.
pensive fizgigs.
A very few had gone off, to the mex.
pressible delight Of the e1eemosynary
small boys and girls seated on rows Of
camp stools at little distance, when an
envious spark CHANGED to drop upon the
chairful Of fireworks aforesaid, and i'm
mediately there ensued catastrophe OF
the most appalling description. For quite
ten minutes the entire landscape was
ablaze. The operator and his assistants
got behind trees to escape the bombs and
rockets, which were dlscharging them
selves in every direction at once, while
the nonprojectile piecessformed volcanic
pyre In the midst, vomiting flames with
incessant explosions. At length the erup.
tion came to an end, and just as the Last
Roman candle was sputtering-wh1le the
generous entertainer and the gentleman
whose aid she had invoked were ruefully
regarding the remains of $500 worth Of
paper and gunpowder-a messenger from
the gathering Of hapless orphans across
the lawn appeared at the scene. Her re-
mark was all that was needed to cap the
| melancholy climax:
''That last frework was an awfullJ

s'Did More for Free Trade

Our Democratic friends do not en-
joy having the English press quoted
as approving the Presidents tariff
policy and as matter of fact, the
English paper are mere careful now
than they.were at first about expos
ing their preference for him They
have learned that their friendship
may do him more harm than good.
1t is useles to deny, however, that
the free traders Of England are all
hoping for Mr.. Cleveland's election
because they recognize 1t as a long
step forward for free trade in Americs.
The London Economist says:
"Mr. Cleveland has no constitution
al power to introduce a new tax sys-
tenn, or to force either protection or
free trade upon the minority; but his
message recommending reduction
in tariffs did more for free trade than
any single speech from any premier
could have DONE"

If consumers in this country will
study the condition of the markets
and not the 'maxims and theories OF
John G. Calhoun, reiterated by Messrs
Mills, Carlisle and the Breckinridges,
and automatically repeated by Presi-
dent Cleveland. they will soon be
convinced that competition among
home producers fixes the market
price In this country of manufactured
goods, land not the amount of the duty
placed upon imports, and that they
are safer in the hands of home manu-
facturers under protective tariff
than they would be at the mercy of a
foreign manufacturer under tariff
for revenue only.

That HOrrid "War Tariff"

One of the Democratic party's fa-
vorite modes of attempting to impose
upon uniformed voters is to assert
that our present tariff is "war" tariff
and that the Republicans never have
consented and never will consent to
change it. How false such assertions
are the Nashua IN. H.) Telegraph
very neatly shows in this compact
statement of some of the tariff
changes for which the Republican
party reduced the duty on steel rails
from $26 to SIT.
The Republican party abolished the
duty on tea.
The Republican party abolished the
duty ON hides.
The Republican party abolished
the duty on camphor.
The Republican party abolished the
duty on naccaroni.
The Republican party abolished the
duty on nutmegs.
The Republican party abolished the
duty on bleaching powders.
The Republican party put sage on
the free list.
The Republican party put shellac
on the free list.
The Republican party put raw silk
on the free list.
The Republican party put tin bars
on the free list.
The Republican party abolished the
duty on anthracite coal and reduced
the duty on bituminous from $1.25 t.
Is cents per ton.
These are some Of the things which
the Bourbon shriekers about the "wal
| tariff never refer.

Airships of the Future.

It has become quite common of late to
estimate the future In the way Of forecast.
ing what inventions must occur. It has
not so generally occurred to our prophets
to tell us what civilization In its progress
sive movement will drop out. 4 recent
writer suggests that we shall, In the next
century, have very little use for horses.
He supposes airships to be not only an
achievement, but to be as common as
wagons are now. The farmer has then
only to hitch load to his airboat, and lift
Il clear of trees, and move straight to
market. The effect Of navigating the air
will. however, be most marked on urban
life Cities will no longer be needed TO
any such extent as now. The airship,
avoiding streets, can make location In
the country as desirable for great store
as one In city. Will not also vast
amount Of land now needed for highways
be given over to tillagef Go ahead, and
give us the airship. -G Globe Democrat.
