The high price Of money in this
state tells heavily against manufact-
urers. A man who can borrow FIVE,
ten or fifty thousand dollars in the
east at per cent. can find plenty Of
chances to use it in banking stock that
is almost certain to pay him 25- to 30,
and it strains even local patriotism Of
the highest order to put large sums
into factories. There are few heavy
dealers in town who do not operate on
eastern cheap money, and find their
account in it and to take that money
out Of a regular business and put into
manufactures is bold step. As long
as money is SO dear in Texas manu-
features will be up hill, and it may be
set down that what wealthy firms sub
scribe to manufactures is subscribed
from q pure sense of duty and
local patriotism. Let a mau of
moderate means calculate what
q sacrifice it is to him to subscribe
hundred or two hundred dollars and he
may be sure that it is equally sacri.
fee to wealthy men or firms to sub
scribe large amount.
Every cent Of money subscribed to
the cotton mill is subscribed from pa
triotic motives and calculations look.
ing to the future good of the town,
and eventually, but indirectly and re-
motely, to the good Of the subscriber.
Small men and dealers have only
secondary interest in the town. But
the real estate men have a material in
terest in it. The growth and success of
the town is matter Of life and death
to them. The growth of the town
means prosperity to them as it
does to all, but the decay
of the town means ruin
to them which it does not to all.
With all men subscription to new enter
prises is desirable good, to the real
estate men it is a necessity. 1t is the
names Of real estate owners that should
head the list.
There need be no hesitation in talk
ing plainly on this matter. The news
papers are in a condition to know
about the state Of a town if their re.
porters are men Of ability, and the
newspapers Of Waco are in position
to draw picture Of things which is
not flatterjng. 1t may not be necessary
to do it but it is sufficient to say that a
new departure is essential to this town
AN immediate big departure-and
while it is of Importance to all, it is
vital to the owners of real estate.

Slow but Sure.

An arrest was made this morning by
Constable Lee jenkins which shows
that justice, though often times slow,
is about as certain as the falling due
Of note. About a year ago while
the family Of Mr.. j. r. Robinson was
on a visit to Lorena, and their house
in Waco left unoccupied, it was enter
ed and burglarized. 1t was ransacked
from top to bottom by the thief or
thieves, and over . hundred dollars
worth Of clothing taken and carried
away. The work was done under f.
vorable circumstances and no clew left,
and though parties were suspected there
was not enough in the suspicious.
That was nearly year ago and the
secret Of the thieves seemed to in.
crease with the lapse Of time. That
is the way detection in old cases comes
in ninety nine cases out Of hundred.
The criminal is lulled into q sense Of
security while justice never sleeps ex'
cept with one eye open. On Saturday
Mrs. Robinson saw what was thought
to be one Of the stolen dresses parad.
ing Austin street, and inside Of it was
q colored woman, Annie Parker by
name. A search warrant was procur'
ed, armed with which Constable Jen-
kins, this morning, searched the house
of the woman and succeeded in un.
earthing several dresses which CORES
pended with the samples he carried in
his pocket of the stolen dresses. II
seems to be . clear case.

FAST RIDING.
While the fathers Of Elm street in
East Waco were taking their sisstas
yesterday afternoon with handkerchief
over their faces and the mothers were
reading their Sunday school papers Il
the little tots about their knees, and
the repose Of Sunday was over all
things, two gay and festive youths
who had not been to Sunday school,
started Sunday afternoon circus on

FIGHT OVER A NOTE.
Two citizens had . dispute over a
note payable by one to the other and
the dispute eliminated on Saturday a
la Heenan and Sayers. The note il
still in statu quo Fine $500 and
costs.
A FOOLISH FIGHT.
This is crowded world. There are
too many people in it, and the result
is that people often run into each 9th
er on the busy streets. The usual
way when people come into collision is
for each to touch their hats, beg par
don and take fresh start 1t is q very
sensible way-the ruflled dignity is
smoothed down and the colliders pass
on smiling. If persons were to make
q personal quarrel whenever they rub
bed against anyone or were rubbed
against, black eyes and bloody noses
would be as thick a. blackbirds.
On Saturday evening a young white
man and \ young colored man ran TO-
gether on the sidewalk while passing
each other near the Fifth Avenue sta.
bles, on Eighth street; or the white
man ran against the colored, for the
evidence was obscure. Instead of
each taking of his hat, the colored
nlan swore, the white man protested
his innocence in bravado style, and
the next thing the colored man hurled
two things at the white mana whole
oath and half brick, the oath hit
ting him and the brick cross
ing the street high in the air
and landing on the porch
of house where q venerable old man,
in his easy chair, was reading the EVEN
ING News. The old man will know
now where that brick came from and
regret the half hour he wasted laying
for some one with double barreled
shot gun, under the impression that
his house was being attacked. While
the brick bat was crossing the street
the tickle god ofwar who at FIRST had Civ
en- the black man the advantage, turn
ed suddenly to the other side and the
white man was sitting on top Of the
black, who, half buried in mud. was
trying to explain. Mutual explana-
lions terminated the fight and explana-
tions before his honor was the sequ-
ence this forenoon. Fine $500 each.
