every advantage in its favor. Its solidity, its

cBMr. BENZ. P. Fairchild, of New York
City, speaking of the political outlook in
York, said: my mark is 100000 ma
iority in the State for Cleveland. People
may think that is wild, but I have been
actively engaged in the politics of the State
for more than half century, and believed
can come as near as any man to telling how
an election will go. I am willing to risk.. amy
amount up to $4,000 on my Judgment. The
people of New York are pleased with the
platform, and they will vote the ticket like
sheep following each other. For Governor,
we will nominate David B. Hill, the most
popular Democrat now in the State, and will
elect him with a rush, too" With the ex-
ception of the large majority. Mr.. Fairchild's
opinion is fair sample of those daily ex-
pressed here by visiting New Workers.

% The naval veterans are now organized
in every section Of the country. Heretofore
sailors have identified themselves with the
soldiers Of the Grand Army. It came very
hard for them to use the term 'comrade"
and other terra frma expressions, consequent
ly they have succeeded in getting the nation
al authorities to allow them to organize on
ship basis. The commanders station in q
post is designated headquarters" while in
naval post it is known as the "quarter

it is "shipmate." A Grand Army post is
supplied with drums, muskets, sabers. etc.,

whistle and note the time by bells, as on

~ President Cleveland gives fresh evi-
dence of his fidelity to duty by sending in
vetoes of unjust pension bills at the very
time the Republican convention is making
its most liberal kind of a bid for the "sold-
Ter vote" Congress passed an act granting
pension to Dolly Blazer, as the widow of a
Union soldier, but the evidence shows that he
was mustered out of the service in good con-
dition, never applied for pension, and died
of yellow fever thirteen years after the war.
The President disapproves the bill ''for the
reason that the death of the soldier had no
relation to his military service, and do not
think there should be discrimination in
favor of this applicant and against many
thousands of widows fully as we'll entitled"
Another bill vetoed was that the pension bu-
reau had evidence the proposed pensioner
was dead. But what could be expected when
the Senate passes hundred of these pension
bills at the rate of two or three minute?

The Baby Exhibit

Took place at the encampment grounds
at IL o'clock yesterday with about forty
entries. There was only one of the reg
u'arly appointed judges on hand, Mr.. W.
S. Rankin, of Corpus Christi. President
Brush then secured the services of Mr.. A .
Kaiser, of Hampstead, and Mr.. d. \.
Aiken, of Palestine, both well-known old
bachelors, who consented to serve. The
first prize. for the finest looking child,
of a Charter. Oak range, highly
nickel, plated, presented to Mr.. Brush by
the Excelsior Manufacturing company, of
ST. Louis was awarded to Bessie Parker,
Of Taylor. The next was the prettiest
girl badly. The three judges each selected
a different baby, and to settle the decision
the three names were put into hat, and
Miss Norvie Patricks was drawn and pre-
scented with one of the most beautiful
medals ever made by the Mermod Jaccard
Jewelry company, of S.. Louis, which
vas offered by Mr.. Geo. A. Brush,
the bachelor president of the
baby exhibit. This gold medal with
word Baby in monogram with raised
lester Of colored gold, with a diamond
setting on the back of the medal, is some
thing that when this beautiful babe
arrives at msidenhooi and womannOod,
will be proud to wear, and no doubt she
wi l have in heart a warm place for Mr..
Geo. a. Brush the enterprising stove
merchant of that day when she procured
it. The next exhibit was for the prettiest
boy baby. This again was difficult
70 settle, aud three were selected
and the names were put into a
hat by Mr.. Mshoney. popular member
of the Houston Light Guards to show
that the names were properly and impair
tally drawn for, and Hilburn Willh;ts's
was drawn, who. by his beauty, has won
beautiful baby carriage, presented by the
Simmons Hardware company of St.
Louis.
This ended the exhibit. which was
greatly enjoyed, and passed off most
pleasantly. We congrstul te the bach
elor judges upon the nerve they displayed
in accepting such a judgeship.

A SLICK TRICK,
And one That Should be Promptly
and Emphatlcally Squelched.


Monday night, after the c'ose OF the
festivities at the drill grounds, there was
o rush for the rect cars, around each of
which there was soon a surging mass of
me0, women and children.
All were roughly handled, and women
ana children were merc.lessiy jevked and
jostled about.
Those ignorant of the ways that are
dark and tricks that are vain the scene
was new ard inexplicable.
To the knowing ones, however, the
hurry and crowding and jlming was I'M
derstood, and all such kept their hanIs
on their pocket-bo0k
The extraordinary and energetic
'scroughipg" and pushing and running
over and tramplng under foot was caused
by gang of professional pickpockets
who relieved more than one pocket during
the excitement.
During the crush around one of the
cars lady was knocked down and I'M
duuhtsdy would have been seriously in
jured if not killed had not her husband by
almost supevhuman efforts kept the crowd
back and placed her on her feet.
As it was his pockets were picked.
The drill ground police should arrange
to keep all outsiders from the vicinity of
the cars and hacks, and the crowds from
the drill grounds should be compelled to
move out orderly, and each person made
TO keep i'll line until his or her turn
comes.
This can and should be done, and the
drill management should see that it is
carried out.

THE TARIFF BILL.

A Washington dispatch says this morn
ing that RESOLUTION has been adopted
by the ho7se cutting off debate on the new
tariff bill after Saturday. Whether dis
cussion is limited or not it will amount to
about the same so far as the bill
becoming law is concerned. All along
the defeat of this measure in the senate,
or any other legislation looking to tariff
reduction, has been as certain as the fate
of similar measures in the senate in the
past. A republican senate has not here
tofore shown anything but uncompro-
missing enmity to tariff reform, and could
not be expected now to do so.
Many people expect the new tariff bill
20 pass the democratic house, but
recent indications are that this
is doubtful The democratic ma
jority in the house is not unit
on the bill. There is nothing to prove
The Mills bill will command in the house a
stronger support than the measure put
forward by the democrats, through Nor.
rison, at the last congress. In fact
Judging f!om the speeches of democratic
leaders in the house, the Morrison bill wa.
the more popular Of the two, and yet il
was bucied out of sight, The prospect,
of the Mills bill in the house are no
llattering, and in the senate next t.
nothing. It is become highly probab',
gress beyond wordy Dialogues and spar
ring for political effect. The whole ques
ton, great and important as it is, will b.
presidential election. They can settle i
to suit themselves.

CITY AND COUNTY.
TFROM WEDNESDAYS DAILY
THE TRUTH.
Fllmfams Knocked Higher Than a
Kite--Low Rates.

EllmfiamS knocked Higher IMAM
Kite--Low Rates.
Hundreds of rumors are abroad in the
state that high prices are being charged
in the city for lodging and meals. There
is not word of truth in the reports.
Rates at the hotels are about the same as
they always were, but the proprietors re-
serve the right to put as many in one
room as can be accommodated.
The rate at the Driskill, one of the
finest hotels in the south, is only $3.50 q
day.
There is plenty of room in private
boarding houses at the usual rates, and at
many comfortable temporary quarters
board and lodging can be had at from 81
to $3.50 day.
As to the charge for single meals a
STATESMAN reporter made dilligent inquiry
yesterday, and found that meals could be
had at from % cents to 80 cents. At one
place. Mrs. Lewis, on the Avenue near
Hills photograph gallery, the reporter, a
stranger to all present, went in and took
dinner, and it was well cooked and first
class in every respect. He expected to pay
10 cents for it, and was sur prised to
find that the charge was only so cents.
This house and others the reporter could
mention are highly spoken of. People
all along the rairoads-people every
where-are informed that there is plenty
of room in Austin at very low rates.
Let everybody come and see the
greatest drill contest ever witnessed in
America

The report has been circulated 70 some
extent through the state that Austin i,
crowded to overlooking, and that there are
no accommodations to be had. This is q
great mistake. There is multitude OF
people now in the city, but the board Of
public comfort, that have in charge the
housing of visitors, report that their sup
ply of guaranteed rooms is not half ex-
hausted. Austin can entertain twenty OF
thirty thousand people more than al
present are in the city, and yet not be 80
crowded that people can not find room to
sleep. Let all in the city, bo,h residents
and visitors, make known the fact to their
friends at distance who contemplate
visiting Austin during the festival week.
HI re is room ana accommodation for all.
