CINCINNATI has had million dol
lar fire recently.
A CONVENTION of Alliance men ap-
posed to the third party move and
the sub-treasurys cheme met at Fort
Worth Friday.
The railway commissioners have
propounded dozen queris to the
railroad traffic masters for specific
information.
The funeral of the late Hannibal
Hamlin took place at Bangor, Me.
Wednesday and be was inferred in
Mount Hope cemetery.
PRESIDENT Diaz has pardoned
Carlos Zarember, an American, who
was sentenced to four years impris-
onment for forgery and using false
government seals.
No MAN can Justly claim to be a
democrat and sub-treasury advo-
cate at one and the same tins, for
the reason that the sub-treasury
scheme is not only dangerous ex-
pertinent, but undemocratic.
That the Federation of Labor
party is anfagonistic to democratic
principles and usages is patent to
the most casual observer. Later on
it will be found working hand-in-
hand with the republican party.
The fight of the State troops at
Austin on the Dist and 23rd with
mob that will make gallant de-
tense, will be a thrilling episode,
and we shouldn't be surprised to
learn of some fatal casualty attend
ing it.
A MAN by the name of Vieira, in
South America, has been arrested
and jailed, on a charge of canni-
balism. The prisoner admits killing
several persons for eating purposes
and says he rellshed them, though
they were little two sweet.
The New York man who says he
walked the streets OF that city eight
days to find five handsome women,
could have saved time by coming to
Brennan. He could have come
here in much less time and found
pretty women by the dozen in half a
day.
STUMP AsHLY refused to divide |
time with his opponents at Bonham
a few days ago. Stumpy is a zeal
GUS advocate of the sub-treasury
scheme and didn't want his fine
spun theories literally torn to pieces
and its rottenness exposed to too
confding public. Stumpy is Sigh |
old coon, any way.
IT is reported that the farmers
are considering scheme for hold
ing back their cotton and bareing
the market for better prices, but its
hard for the farmers to get together
and many men who control quanti-
ties of cotton are not farmers at all,
but merchants, who hold mortgages
and force the farmers to bring in
their cotton when the mortgage
falls due.
The GreenYiIle Banner takes the
following sensible view of the situa-
ten: ''The people are the govern
ment; the officers are only servants.
Therefore, if the government should
lend the people money, it would be
the people borrowing from them
selves. In the shuttle the sharp
and INSCRIPTIONS ones would get
the biggest share of the money and
the others would foot the bills"
AT meeting of the Taylor ALI
ance, held June 10th, resolution
was adopted to the effect that 'we
believe the withdrawal of Evan
Jones, c. ". Macune, Harry Tracy, |
Ben Terrell ana L. J. Sledge as
leading members in the Alliance.
both State and National. would re- !
suit in much good to the Alliance
cause. rs all thinking men are OPP
posed to their plans and operations

AT the convention of the Fedora

Springs. Texas, last week among
other things a resolution was ador-
