While all of the entertainments of
the club this season have been well
offended, there was an unusually
large crowd out at Eldridge hall on
Tuesday evening, the special attrac-
ton being the appearance of the o..
o. o. club as the peak Sisters"
No doubt they derived their patro-
nymic from the spiked headgear
which they wore. They arrived at
the hall about twenty minutes after
nine o'clock, carrying band-boxes
and having the appearance of having
just arrived. They claimed that they
were fresh from Alaska. Before their
appearance the Haubelt band dis
coursed couple of selections. The
'sPeak Sisters" gave variety of per-
formances, all highly amusing. Miss
Nettie Estes was the senior Peak
sister and was manager and inter
locutor They sang two or three
pieces that were equal to grand
opera by regular chorus girls.
Among the best things gotten of
was a topical song by Miss Nettie
Estes, a burlesque recitation by Miss
Lizzie Dwyer entitled "AFaud Null
ler," and Miss Bonita Byrnes' imita.
ton of the violinist of the strolling
italian band which recently visited
Brennan in the execution of the
knocking Bird" After the o. O.
O's. got through Miss Hattie Harri-
son and Mr.. John Watson each
favored the audience with a recita-
ton. The subject of Mr.. Watson's
recitation was Trouble in the Amen
Corner" a favoiite selection with
elocutionists, and his manner of
reciting it was faultless.

EDITOR BANNER Mr.. A. B. VIII
Hams and 1 having Just returned
from a twelve days trip through the
counties of Burleson, Milan and
Lee, I will give you brief account
of our observations along the roads
we traversed. We passed through
the towns of Caldwell, Milano, Cam
eron, Maysfeld, Rockdale and the
thriving little town of Lexington,
Lee county. All along the roads
we found the cotton on the uplands
very much injured by the drouth.
My Judgment is, that on an average
it will take four acres of the uplands
to make one bale of cotton, but the
bottom lands we found doing well
every where we went; but the worms
were reported in various parts of
the bottom. On one large farm
which we visited in Milan county
on Little River we saw them poison
ing-twelve rows at once or 100
acres a day. The town of Cameron
seemed to be fourishing. In fact,
they claimed to be on boom. We
saw some large brick business
houses going up and numerous nice
residences all over the town. Leav-
ing Cameron, we went to Rockdale,
and thence to the live and bustling
little town of Lexington, in Lee
comfy. The sound of the hammer
and the ring of the saw was heard
all over the place. 1 was told that
there were thirty or more workmen
at work on buildings. I counted
about dozen houses doing business
and several more to be occupied as
soon as completed. Two of those
being built were of brick. During
our stay in Lexington we were hos
pitably entertained by Mr.. and Mrs.
Gus Dierke, formerly of this county.
Mr.. Dierke seemed to be doing a
good business, was contented and
sanguine that Lexington would ere
long be a good large town.

HOW 1T WORKS.

An associated press dispatch from
Fall Rriver, Massachusetts,, an
nounces that at a meeting of the
manufacturers of the board of trade
in that city the other day proposed
agreement with the New England
mill men to shut down their factories
in order to relieve the oyerstocked
market, was read. The proposition
was not opposed, but after a long
debate it was decided to leave the
matter in the hands of the executive
committee, which was to see the
local manufacturers indi,4,IalIy and
secure their signatures to an agree
ment to shut down one week in Au-
gust, and two, if necessary. There are
said to be seven hundred thousand
pieces of goods on the market at
present, an amount equal to two
weeks production by the New En-
gland mills. Another dispatch from
Providence, Rhode Island, says that
the local manufacturers are con-
sidering an attempt whereby the
print cloth mills throughout the
state will in conjunction with Fall
River and other New England mills
be closed some time in August for a
period OF two weeks. Thus do the
beauties Of a protective tariff receive
another fresh and forcible practical
Illustration in the above. The over
production is, of course. the result
of the unnatural stimulus and I'M
petus given to the business by means
OF the enormus tariff obounty and
tax,robbiDg protective tariff system.
Under tie natural laws of trade the
supply would be regulated by the
demand and prices would be dear or
cheap according to whether there

Tail End Collision.

The BANNER learned yesterday of
a narrow escape which the eastbound
Central train had from being tele-
scoped just across the Brazos bridge
last Sunday afternoon. The train
had Just crossed the bridge and was
going slowly down the grade when
a freight train came numbering along
in the rear. The freight engineer
seemed either to have no idea of the
slow speed that the train ahead of
him was making, or else did not re-
alize how fast!his own train was 60
ing. When his train began to get
too near the passenger he checked
it, but as it was going down grade
he was powerless to stop it before
the locomotive crashed into the rear
platform of the passenger. Just be-
foresthe collision the engineer, jump
ed from his cab, and passenger
from Chappell Hill named Rose,
who was on the platform, jumped in
time to save himself. The platform
of the passenger was entirely demol-
ished and the telescoping locomotive
was so badly disabled that a fresh
engine from Hampstead had to be
sent out to pull the train in.

was plenty OR scarcity of the ar
ticle. But by the unjust and unfair
and unnatural laws imposed on trade
by the government the people are
bound to pay the tariff imposition.
This is so much money in the peck.
cts of the manufacturing nabobs.
They are enabled to reap an enor-
nous interest on their Investment
and there is no danger of losing,
Realizing the fact that they are OIL
sinking ground, the robber- tariff ad,
vocates of late years have laid much
stress on the claim that the tariff is
for the benefit of the poor working
men. But, does anybody suppose
that the hands employed in the Fal
River and Providence mills will be
paid for the time that they are laiG
off from work.

Bitten BY a Mad Cat .

Major S. G. Ragsdale, who was IN
the city on Tuesday, reported the
biting of the little three-year-old
daughter of Capt. Joe Rowland, of
Caldwell, by a common house cat
which was afflicted with the rabies a
few days ago. While the child was
at dinner the cat jumped up and bit
her sayagely on the arm. Capt.
Rowland was away from Caldwell at.
the time and nothing was thought
of the cats break. But when Capt.
Rowland returned home and while
he was out in the orchard with a
garden rake he noticed the cat
dropping and frothing at the mouth.
He pointed the rake out towards it,
and when in five or six feet of it the
feline sprang for the rake and
gnawed at it with its teeth in the
most savage manner. The captain
became at once alarmed for his little
child, knowing that the cat had by
drophobia, and began looking about
for a mad stone. Major Ragsdale
told him of one in Lee county that
he had heard about while attending
court at Giddings, and at once the
anxious father set out in search of
it. He secured the mad stone, ap-
piled it to the child's wound and af-
ter several Intellectual efforts sue
ceeded in getting it to adhere hard
and fast. The captain is great be-
lever in the efficacy of the mad
stone and his apprehensions for his
child have been entirely relieved.

A Brave Lad.

Capt. T. G. Clay mentioned the,
feat of a spunky little fellow in con-
versation with the reporter of the
BANNER on Tuesday which he says
deserves to be published in the
newspapers and commended. The.
name of the boy is Lee Taylor and
he is thirteen years of age, but isn't.
large enough to be more than nine
years old. He is the son of Mr.
Tom Taylor, who keeps store at,
Clay station, and nephew of Mr.
Isham Taylor, formerly Of this coun-
ty. A few days ago Mr.. Taylor had
business off at distance and left
his young son Lee to attend to the
store, instructing him to take the
proceeds of each days sales home
with him at night. A few nights
ago the boy started home after nine
o'clock with forty dollars in his
pocket. He carried an immense
six-shooter nearly as long as he was
to guard the treasure. At loneyl
spot in the road big buck negro
confronted him and ordered him to
shell out his wealth. Instead of
complying, the boy drew his revolver
and blazed away, whereupon the
negro took to his heels, and SO did
young Lee Taylor, who related his
adventures when he got home, said
he thought he recognized the
negro as a well known character who
went by the name of Gill, and said
he thought he hit him in the stomach,
as he aimed at that part of his
anatomy. The next day the
negro Gill was not to be found.
He disappeared and was absent
nearly week, when he turned up
with slight wound in his belly,
which he said was the result of an
accident while scuffiing with another
darkey. The ball had grazed around
at the side, did not go very deep
and the wound was only a slight
flesh wound.

battle for supremacy. Parties are
the armies. The decalogue and gol-
den rule have no place in political
campaign. The object is success.
To defeat the antagonist and expel
the party in power is the purpose.
This modern cant about the corrup-
ton of politics is fatiguing in the
extreme" 1t is in keeping with
such sentiments as the above that
the conspiracy has been formed to
force the Infamous election bill on
the people as a dernier resort to
keep the republican party in power.

"DEvILUTION" OF THE G. o.P.

Ever since the chairman of the
national republican executive CON-
mittee IN the last presidential cam
paign hired an employe of the
Voice, the national organ of the pro-
hibition party, to steal the mailing
lists of that paper, the Voice has
had a rod in pickle for the grand
old republican party, and never
misses an opportunity to give it par
ticular sheol. It hasn't any love for
the democratic party, but as the
democracy has always ''toted fair
with it and has never been guilty of
any such sneaking rascality as the
republican party has, the Voice ex-
ponds most of its energies in paying
It's respects to the latter. Under
the caption ''Devilutlon of a Party
of Moral Ideas the Voice keeps in
standing type at the top Of the first
column on its editorial page some of
the famous sayings of prominent re-
publicans showing the drift of that
party. Among these sayings is the
following from J. S. Clarkson, the
then vice.chairman of the republican
national committee, and present as
sistant postmaster-general, in trying
to justify his confessed attempt to
bride st. John, the prohibition can
didate for president in 1884: Il
felt it would be right if l could do
so to relieve both the republican
party and the true cause of temper
ance of his (St. Johns candidacy. 1
had no doubt it would be right to
defeat the democratic party by the
use of this false and treacherous
means, if it could be done. l have
no concealment to make as to nv
belief that st. John was an element
in the campaign to be got rid of al
together, or at least to be controlled
by the republicans. if it were going
to help either side" Another one
of the famous quotations is from W.
W. Dudley, treasurer of the republi-
can national committee. in a letter
of instruction to local election
bosses in Indiana in 1883, and reads
as follows Divide the hoaters
nto blocks OF five and put trusted
man with necessary funds il charge
of those five. and make him respou-
slble that none get away. and that
all vote our ticket Still another
quotation showing the drift of the
patriotic principles Of the g. 0. p. is
from the lips OF Hon. 9ohn Jay

tor from Kansas. and president pro
TEN OF that body. The utterauce Is
as follows: The publication of
politics is an iridescent dream.
Government is force. Politics is a
