AUSTIN, TEX., July 14.-Up to date bus

PROVIDED THE SISTERS WITH BEER.
A colored brother was yesterday fined
Sl00 and given thirty days in jail for sell
license. His plan was to collect
money from some of the sisters of bibulous
habits, lay in keg of beer and give it away
to them on Sunday. The enfoI cement of
the Sunday law IN Austin led to this man-
ner Of violating the law.
BAD COFFEE.
A colored preacher of Dallas, l. D. Coffee,
who appends the usual u. D. when
writing his name, pleaded guilty
to sending an obscene letter
through the mail The letter was addressed
TO pillar of an Austin church, of which
Coffee had until recently been pastor. 1t

duck for whom it was intended. On open

take, and also found that it was one
of the flthiest and foulest productions
imaginable. The keeper ofsa bagnio would

upon which the compaign is to be fought.
Up to his hour most of the important points
are decided except the silver question, which

taxes, and we will continue battle for tariff
reform until the cause OF the people is
triumphant. All money taken by law from
the people should go into the pubhc treas

only, and all so-called protective tariff taxes
are dishonest, unlawful and corrupting.
They plumber the masses TO enrich the few.
They have crippled agriculture, retarded
manufacturing, created trusts, and de-

THE Missouri railroad commission
has ordered reduction on freight rates
for wheat from points in that state to
St. Louis. 1t is pretty likely that the
Texas commission will soon take action
to equalize the rates ON wheat in this
state It will not be an easy thing for
the traffic representatives to satisfy the
commissioners that it is right TO charge
32t cents for hauling 100 pounds OF
wheat 442 from Vernon to San Antonio,
if they can haul the same amount of
wheat from Abilene TO St. Louis, 903
miles. for . cents.

OUR TINE WILL COME, SOON.

The report from France of a great
shortage in the wheat crop of that coun-
try goes to show that that gold we have
been sending to Europe will soon begin
10 flow back, and it will bring a great
deal more with it. The estimated yield
of the crop now in the ground in France
is S2.1.9. 900 hectoliters, and the esti
mated consumption is 12S, 100000 hecto-
liters. France will need about a, DBL
600 hectoliters OF our wheat. \ hectic
liter is the equal OF 2.S3 bushels, so that,
reducing the amount to our unit of
measure. we find that this one customer
will need l27, go, 600 bushels of our
wheat The price of wheat in New

little more than 81 4 bushel, and this
heavy demand will probably advance it

$40. 100000 from this source alone.
And then there are England, Germany.
