NEARING THE MILLENNIUM.
AUSTIN. TEXAS.

NEANANG IhE MILLENNlt"'
Transition seems a law both of ma
ture and OF the character of human
events. AS vast race of people we
have passed through the age of wide
spread conquests, of wars and great
national cruelties and now, it seems,
have stayed our way in an age of con-
Citation, of arbitration and of con-
ventions. Note the junketings of the
great European rulers and hear the
comments of the press and people
that assurance of longer continued
peace and prosperity seems to
follow in the wake of the
princely journeyings. Even the
car of all the Russias has thought it
worth his while to be intent at least
upon the semblance of amicable greet
ings to his brother rulers of Europe.
We, however, as a nation, have but
little concern with such occasional
pilgrimages of the great. Our geo
graphical prestige gives us immunity
from the excuse of pandering to little
or intermittent influences such as are
of moment, however, in Europe. We
should always move from some set
purpose and directly to some given
end. Fearing no superior in the sis
terhood of nations, and, so far us this
continent is concerned, in touch with
nations only of lesser light,
our mode of procedure, from fixed
policy opposed to conquest, has and
must continue to be along the line of
conventions; the encouragement of
Independent nations meeting in COM
mon assemblage and acting for n COM
mon good The two congresses that
will today have convened on our
shores, mark a new Grain the history
of governments. What will result
from them, who shall say? The con-
gress today assembled, as it touches so
closely the humanitarian side of ma
ture, appeals more strongly to us than
the other, and from it we hope for the
very best results. The PAM American
congress is strictly business" and
as such must, on the merits of its ac-
complishments, find favor with us.
But the spectacle of two such con-
crosses at one time in session must be
augury of great national and even
race good ;and we, as the people of
such advantage as to have the site
OF their sessions, should be especially
Jealous in promoting their best DELHI
erations and cleaning from them the
most of good.

efficiency without increasing the cost.
The plans presented are further
based upon a careful study of cream
cries in successful operation in other
southern states.
With one separator this outfit will
make 200 to $50 pounds OF butter per
day; with two separators and larger
churns, 400 to 500 pounds, while by
increasing the size of separators and
churns the capacity may be increased
to SOO or 1000 pounds before it will
be necessary to enlarge the building
and the power.
Mr.. Munson, of Lampasas, is still
in the city, and thinks he will be able
to organize creamery.

Beauties on Wheels.

The above head fifty describes the
elegant and substantial goods of the
Milburn Wagon company. They GER
tainly are beautiful and gracefully
shaped, and being made only of first
class materials, thoroughly sea-
soned, uniformly strong, with
no latent defects it is no wonder that
they are so popular with all sorts and
conditions of mankind. The genial
Dick Cunningham, of Pecan street,
and his assistants are always busy
shipping goods all over the country.
This continuous shipping of the
agent and his men itself talks louder
than words and proves what large
and steady trade they have and how
satisfactory their business methods
are

before the institution of the suits. A
private protest would have answered
the purpose. Doubtless verbal no.
tice to hold up the issuance of patents
would have been respected by a com
missioner as highly respected by the
encouragement as Mr.. Hall seems
to be.
So far the land Commissioners has
the best of the controversy. What
ex-Govs. Coke and Hubbard will say OF
the covert attack upon their methods
of substituting the railroads can be con-
jectured. The encouragement prob
ably had no knowledge of their re-
sponsibilities in the matter, and will
not invite a repetition by them of the
caustic response from Mr.. Hall. The
STATESMAN would suggest a change OF
tactics. The attack should be upon
the railroads. Ignore Mr.. Hall and
the governors. Attack the graspin 6
corporations. The people love to see
them assaulted, but will never believe
after this that Mr.. Hall needs legal
advice from the encouragement.

GAINESVILLE Times: A convention
of discontinued republicans was held
at Waco the other day, and the APP
pointment of certain other so.called
Republicans to Office, was soundly de-
nounced by them. The fact of it is
that every time a Republican is APP
pointed, some other Republican, i'm
agining that he is the "fittest," gets
up an indignation meeting and raises
a howl. The trouble is that there are
not enough offices to go round, and of
course some fellow must get cleft in
the cool" And the ninety-nine fell
lows who don't get an office can make
a good deal more din than the one
chap who happens to get his hand in

snake a bag Of brown duck six
feet long, three feet wide in the cen

two feet at the head. Leave one
seam Of the bag open from the head
two feet downward, and sew along
one edge Of the flap three or four
inches wide, with button holes in il
at intervals. Buttons or toggles
may be sewed on the other edge
To the head Of the bag sew two
flaps a foot long with button holes
and buttons, SO that the flaps may
be buttoned over the head. Line
this bag with another made oflamb
skin with the wool on, the wool be

A writer in discussing the advis-
ability of cultivating long haired
cattle particularly for the western
ranges, says: "Out west on the
ranges the well-haired cattle suit
the situation best, and are there
fore most sought after. We un-
derstand that at present an expert
ment is being made in q western
state with Buffalo-Galloway cross
and that q very heavy coat Of hair
has been produced on the pro-
geny. Ii is this coat Of hair that
the experimenter is after, as he
thinks his cross will be the best yet
found on the range for use. While
we do not altogether agree with him
as to the suitability Of his strange
cross, we certainly agree with him
entirely as to the advantage Of pro-
ducing heavy coat ofhair. There
is practical suggestion to all
breeders in this new departure. 1t
is to cultivate heavy coats on pure
bred beef cattle for their better pro
lection against the rigors of the
cold winters"

SIX YEARS AND OUT.

Suppose an amendment to the
constitution making the Presiden-
tial term six years and barring a
reelection should be sent to the
people with the recommendation
and approval Of Congress.
How do you think the ten or
twelve millions of voters between
Maine and California-whose rep
resentatives would have to pass on
it's ratifications-would meet the
question.
Can there be any doubt that an
overwhelming majority would re-
gard it as magnificent measure Of
reform?
The working classes would favor
it to man, because when manu-
featuring interests are disturbed
they bear the brunt Of the calam-
ity.
Every merchant would favor it
because he stands in dread of this
quadrcnnial cataclysm. He just
gets his plans laid for commercial
enterprise when, presto, change! one
administration with one policy is
kicked out and another administra.
ton with another policy is showed
in. He doen't know for o few
months whether he is financially or
his head or his heels.
He drives team with pretty
heavy load. Give him a macada
mized highway for six years and HI
is all right. Compel him to team
it through a mud hole every fou
years, with possible upset and tn
loss Of all his freight, and you keel
him anxious, cramp his efforts ant
make him timid.
In every part Of the Union tn
newspapers are discussing this top
ic. They see the advantages Of
longer term and approve Of it
There is general consensus G
opinion and general heartines
and enthusiasm, for it seems t
solve very bitter problem.
Allow us to add that the onl
class that grow red in the face

would rather interfere with thei
perquisites. But really the countr

the part Of the public.-N. Y. Hel
