THE TWO SEXES.

Men do not love he women so much

Some women are never pleasant to
their husbands except when there is
some other woman around.
The man with the greatest 10Y. and
the man with he heaviest sorrow. are
the men who say the least.

FILLING UP THE STATE TREASURY.
The deposit yesterday in the state
treasury of $145,0O0, Texas indemnity
claims, by the distinguished repre-
sentative OF this, the Tenth, district,
who brought the money personally
from Washington, is an event that
reflects the highest credit upon the
efficiency and diplomacy of Mr..
Sayers. Also it inures to the honor
of the administration of Governor
Ross, which aided in securing the
amount due the state by the Federal
government. In TACT Maj. Sayers has
not only made us safe, patriotic and
able representative, but one who has
done the state of Texas practical and
valuable services for which be will be
remembered by the people. This
makes over a million dollars Of
frontier indemnity emptied into the
Texas treasury within the last two
years and half by the aid of Maj.
Saycrs, Governor Ross, Mr.. Pope and
others.

THE sUB-rREAsURY BILL.


Recent writer's on the subject at
tempt to defend, explain and sustain
the principle on which the measure
now before congress is built without
endorsing the bill itself. They set
forth the object OF the movement to
be to expand the currency to degree
sufficient for the business of the
country, and relieve the farming in
terests by the issuance of currency
based on the crops. They hold that
the cotton and wheat values are as
good security for valid circulating
medium as silver bullion is for silver
certificates, and ii the government
should issue to farmer a warehouse
receipt equivalent in value to 80 per
cent OF his cotton, corn or wheat,
there is no reason why the people will
not take sucl: certificates at their face
value, nor that they should not circu'
late as currency.
This is one thing proposed by the
bill in its present shape. AS to its
being class legislation the advocates
OF the measure deny that is will have
any other effect than what is bene
fetal to all classes.
On the contrary the opponents Of
the bill hold that it is the rankest
species of paternalism, and it is chiefly
on this ground that it has failed to re-
ceive the sanction of the Democratic
party of Texas, as appears from the
platform of that party, made at San
Antonio.
Again such a law would be making
a mere warehouse OF the government
and subverting the purposes for which
it was erected, chief Of which were Sc
curity of life, property and our liber-
ties. Jefferson, Washington and the
founders of our government never
dreamed of making it warehouse for
the deposit OF farm products.
Such are among the arguments pro
and con for a measure which, it must
be admitted is rapidly coming to the
front as one OF the issues of the day
Down here in Texas the people are OPP
posed to the bill on general principles.

THE New York Journal OF Finance
says: "The Missouri, Kansas and
Texas railroad has just received at
Hannibal, Mo-, several train loads OF
freight destined for one point and for
one purpose. One hundred and six
car loads, averaging $4,000 pounds to
the car, and consisting exclusively OF
cotton manufacturing machinery, was
delivered to the road last Saturday to
be conveyed to the new cotton mill in
process OF erection at Denison, Tex.
This machinery comes from various
New England points, and is of the
most approved patterns and makes.
The new mill for which this immense
amount of freight is intended, is the
Denison Cotton Manufacturing COM
pany, with capital of over $5OO,OOO.
This is but another evidence of the
rapid increase of commercial and IN
dustrial prosperity in the South now
so marked in its rapid growth" When
the great Austin dam is completed
such shipments to this place will be
made and great factories will go up.
