The Grand Jury Hard at Work Grinding
Out Indictments.

Special to The Statesman.
BAsTRoP, Oct. 24.-The district
court convened Monday, the 10th inst.
The charge of District Judge Teich-
mueller to the grand jury concerning
its duty was as broad and as compre-
hensive as any law given in this
county. Among the many worthy
thoughts were the following: "While
the grand jury represents the dlspas-
sionate, chastened opinion of the pub
lie concerning right and wrong, yet,
unintluenced by personal prejudice
and controlled only by spirit of
Justice, they must enforce the law as
they find it, and not as they might
wish it to be-" The growing crime of
perjury was especially commended to
their consideration. awhile grand
jurors should be Jealous they should
also be cautious, as compliments not
unfrequently appear prompted by inn
pure or malicious motives. The du-
ties of grand jury are of subtle
and delicate character. The welfare
of society is chiefly their care, but
their efforts to shelter and protect
these public interests must be made
with wisdom in order to guard against
the wrongs to individuals"
Up to the present ten indictments
have been returned.
Tobo Cook, the negro charged with
the murder of Miss Moore near Como,
is indicted for rape and murder. The
case is set for Nov. 4, and special
venire of seventy-tive men issued in
each case.
James S. Smith, father-in-law Of Tax
Collector j. S. Wilson, died on the
18th inst, and was buried with
Masonic honors.
e. L. Bolts has resigned his cadet
ship in the Naval academy at Annap-
oils, Md, and is now at home.

AUSTIN UNDER CHANGED BUSINESS
CONDITIONS.

The Bolton News of recent date had
the following editorial:
THE AUSTIN STATESMAN of last
Friday contains Il letter from farmer
of Travis county, who complains that
merchants at Austin refuse to buy
cotton, while those of neighboring
towns do, as q result whereof cotton
last Thursday brought at Austin 3-0
cents, while that same day cotton OF
the same grade at the village of
Round Rock brought l-4c.
THE STATESMAN corroborates the
statement of it's correspondent, and
in leading editorial urges the mer-
chants of Austin to buy the farmers
cotton, like merchants do every
where else throughout the cotton
producing states. For the good of
their own trade, for The convenience
of the farmers who live too far from
any other point to market their cot
ton elsewhere, and for the good
name and prosperity of the city.
We had no idea that at point Sc
important as Austin, q beautiful city
with five times the population of Bel.
ton, city surrounded by an excellent
farming country, business men coIld
be so far behind our Bolton merchants
who compete with each other for the
fleecy staple and who make this one
of the best cotton markets Of the
state.
But for THE STATEsMAN's editoria
we could not have believed it possible
No doubt they will wake up.
THE STATESMAN is no apologist fol
things as they are. Far from it. Oul
hope is to arouse action to make them
better. But do we not our.

selves as well as our neigh
bors at first blush, do Austin
merchants an injusticein these sweep
ing structures? Time was when Aus
tins greatest business was the credit
business she did with Travis county
and the counties surrounding, even
far out in west Texas. But these
conditions are now changed. Small
towns have sprung up through all
these counties, railroads have taken
the place of the OK carts and whole
sale dealers are supplying these small
towns, that in turn carry the country
trade. This is but in the nature OF
evolution in business, and the
growth of countries. Now while this
cuts off absolutely all retail trade
from beyond radius of 20 miles, it
also materially interferes with that
trade within that circle, and just in
proportion as small towns spring up
therein.
Another point must be obvious on
closer inspection. Retail stores
with limited capital reach a
point beyond which they cannot go IN
extending credit. This point is sooner
reached in city, where credit, at
least by the month, is the custom,
than in a thinly settled county en-
vironment. For this reason, Austin
stores not being in the same condition
to carry country trade as in years
past, do not so much solicit it. They
realize the city is their first and most
legitimate field of operation, and it
they must cultivate.
1t is this distance barrierfrom with
out and restrictive reaction from with
in that have caused The STATESMAN
to look to some other means than our
present merchants to win back AUS
tins cotton market. And we have
naturally turned to the establishment
of credit houses. Through these,
we can not only furnish the
country people all the credit
they want, but can offer them such
bargains in trade as the small town
stores can not give. Through them
we will not only regain our cotton
market and make it better, but we
will again have the farmer and his
team on our streets, will again bring
in contact the farmer and civilian,
again furnish the best of means for
mutual education to country and city
alike. These credit stores will surely
do all this. Can not the Board OF
Trade take the initiative and devise
some means of exciting interest in
them and secure their early establish
ment?

GALVESTON, Oct. 2l.-The whole
sale clothing house of 5. Jacobs, Bern
helm q Co., which has done business
in this city fer the past 20 years will
on or about the 1st of January remove
TO st. Louis. Messrs. Bernheim and
Redlich are now in st. Louis looking
for a location. The reason assigned
by the firm for this removal is that
from st. Louis they can extend their
trade over several states, while here
they are confined to one; besides they
can supply their Texas customers as
readily from st. Louis as from Gal
weston. While regretting to sever
their social relations in this city,
their business demands a wider field
than that offered here, hence their re.
moval to st. Louis.

fixed on the immortal Warwick, there
was Il sudden slide, followed by a

RANs-MIssIssIPPI CONGRESS.
Congress Petition on Matters Pertaining to
National Coinage.

NdGluudl OoInaSO'
OMAHA, Neb., Oct. 22.-The Trans
Mississippi congress devoted its morn
ing session today to the discussion o
a resolution as follows:
That we petition the president ano
congress of the United States to once
more attempt to bring about interna
tional recognition and the adjustment
of silver as money, and should the eff
fort fail, that limited agreement be
sought with the nations Of the Latin
union, whereby the minis Of those ma
lions may again be opened for the
coinage of silver.
Resolved that we petition the presi'
dent and congress to continue If pos
sible to complete the negotiations
with the Spanish American nations
for common currency for this CONT
nent, south of the Dominion of Cana
da.
Senator Warren Of Wyoming, Sena-
tor Maginnis of Montana, and Gov
ernor Fishback spoke in favor of the
resolution and were followed by Hon.
A. B. Hopkins of Omaha. The de-
bate was still in progress when adj
iournment was taken at noon.
AFTERNOON SESSION.
At the opening of the afternoon SEES
sion it was annOunced that the next
meeting of the congress would be
held at New Orleans February % to
26. 1892. 1t was then agreed that the
silver debate should close at O'Clock
and speeches be limited to ten min
utes each.
Col. Doniphan of Missouri was the
first speaker in favor of free and I'M
limited coinage. He did not believe
that European countries would dump
all of their silver upon the United
States. Silver was worth less in the
United States than in Europe. The
silver men were simply asking for
recognition of silver as a product and
not as a protection, as some OF the
gold men claimed.
DR.. George Miller, OF Omaha spoke,
for an honest dollar and was followed
by Senator Warren, of Wyoming,
who favored the plan of establishing
full and unlimited coinage for the
products of the mines OF the United
States.
Mr.. Clark, of Wyoming, was for the
free coinage of the home product, as he
thought that was all congress would
at present concede.
Governor Fishbach, of Arkansas, fol-
lowed in favor of absolute free COIN
age, and the debate was closed by
Colonel Buchanan, of Colorado, on the
same line.
The congress then voted upon the
second minority report, which IA
vored the calling of an International
congress for the purpose OF establish
ing a universal ratio of gold and silver
values and was opposed to the free
and unlimited coinage of silver. All
the states voted against this second
minority report, excepting Minnesota,
South Dakota and fourteen delegates
from Nebraska. The vote stood % for
and 116 against. The vote upon the
first minority report, which favored
free and unlimited coinage OF all silver
offered the United States mint was
then taken. 1t stood 81 for and %
against. This left the majority report
Just as it had been presented. The
vote then required upon the majority
report, favoring free silver coinage for
