The rains of the past week or ten days
have made a wonderful change IN Il G
growing crops OF wheat and grass, and
the out look now for fine yield Is very
flattering. The wheat is growing up in
the straw to an average height while the
heads promise TO be very large ana well
filed. The hay crop, good judges say,
was too much injured by the long and
severe drouth to reach the usual large
turno2t of this section, but will still be a
fair crop in quantity while the quality
will be very superior.

1t will be well to keep good look out
for safe burglars as they have commenced
operations in this section. Two safes in
Front ROYAL, one belonging to Robinson
g. Shoupe. and another TO Arouson,
merchant. were blown open or Wednts
day night of last week. Fortunately bnt
a small sum of money was secured from
either. One of the parties had removed a
large sum from his safe only few hours
before, AMI being called away at the
moment on imperative business, put the
money, which was in a shot bag, in a
barrel of peanuts which was standing
close to the safe. This the burglars failed
to sec. and it was found safe the next
morning. One of the safes was in a build
ing that belonged to MIR. D. H. Hoshour
which had some of the windows and doors
injured by the explosion. A stranger, who
had registered at the Stric&ler House as

The STATESMAN'S services as a
peace-maker were no longer required.
Editor Garfield was running a Sun
day school paper in the Alamo city,
advising everybody to go to church,
and leading the way himself. Bur-
son was editing the religious column
on the Galveston News. The Post
and the Iconoclast were sworn friends,
and there was no hell-box in either
office. Colonel Belo had bought a
new cargo of lead pencils, and they
were all good ones. No Tyler states
man carried brick bat in his coat .
pocket, The deadly "Tu quoque" and
the venomous oct tn Brute" no longer
hustled through the shivering Tyler
atmosphere. The coast of Texas was
lined with deep-water harbOrs, and
they dwelt together in peace and
harmony. The Legislature were at
home, laying new fence worms OIL
driving the predatory COW out of the
front yard with a bed slat. The lights
were turned out in the capitol build
ing, and the tired citizen sat on the
granite steps and whitfield white pine
1t was evident to everybody that the
millennium had come. But at last
something happened that removed
the last lingering trace of doubt.
A wealthy and influential murderer
was convicted of his crime, and pun
ished according to law.
And the people rejoiced with great

lowing reference to the Llano gold
find:
THE first piece of gold and silver
bullion from the newly discovered
gold mine in l. ano was brought to
the city last evening and taken to
Kalteyer's drug store to be assayed'
The piece brought in is as large as
the palm of a hand and about one
fourth of an inch in thickness in the
center. 1t weighs twenty-three ounces
and contains large quantity of gold.
There is considerable silver in the
place. The assaying will be done to-
day. 1t was brought in by one of the
men at the mine, but he was little in
clined to tell anything about it,"
This is good news for Austin, as in
opening the way to the Llano iron
fields she has Unexpectedly struck

NIGHT SESSION.

The church extension board met in
the Methodist church last night to
celebrate it's anniversary. A report
of the work during the past year was
read and showed very flattering re-
suits. Addresses bearing upon the
work of the board and the good of the
cause were made by Bishop Fitzger-
aid and the Rev. DR.. David Morton.
These entlemen dwelt at some length
upon matters pertaining to the build
ng of new churches and the estab-
fishing of new fields Of labor. A large
audience was present and the meeting
was attended with much interest.

provided themselves with life pre-
servers they would ali have been
drowned in tho rain that fell; while
the others can send word by mail that
the whole thing was fraud, that
the rain was the merest little

to rain, anyhow, before they came
near. And probably the most impor-
tant feature of the case is that it helps

THE department of state is making

street. "The ministerial and consular
agents of the United States in South

import trade of the Latin-American
republics, with particular reference to
the needs and tastes of consumers,
while our diplomatic and consular
agents in Europe are to inquire what
Is being done by European manufact-
urers and traders to supply the de-

commercial relations with foreign
countries"

RIVALRY IMPOSSIBLE.

The STATESMAN this morning
gives space to remarkable document
by a Fort Worth writer. 1t is adj
dressed "To the Ladies of Texas" and
is plea against Texas representa-.
tion at the Worlds Fair. 1t is re-
markable for some sound sense and a
great deal of short sightedness. The
part of the article that is good is that
treating of sending the dalies out OF
the state systematically and continu-
ally as advertisements of the state
Certainly no better way could be de-
vised to advertise, and the city or the
community that first tries it will reap
rich reward. But the idea of Texas
staying away from the Worlds Fair
is the sheerest nonsense and think
ing of putting against a Chicago ex-
hibit Il building at Fort Worth the
most ridiculous of propositions. The
writer says such Fort Worth
exhibit "would be n glorious witness
to the world" etc.; now unfortunate
ly all tho world is not clustered
around Fort Worth, but on the con-
trary, a Texas exhibit at the Chicago
Fair would come under the eyes of
the world more in one week than
Fort Worth or any other Texas city

ONE MORE SUBJECT FOR THE
CALLED SESSION.

In his indication Of what subjects
will be included in the call for an
extra session of the Legislature Gov
ernor Hogg mapped out very great
deal of very important work. Yet we
think it can all be we'll performed in
thirty days, the prescribed limit of an
extra session. For in called session
world of time is economical by the
restriction of subjects upon which the
legislature can act. During regular
session great many committees are
sitting upon an infinite variety of sub
jects. This takes up the afternoons
and nights of two-thirds of the time of
the session, and their reports, gener-
ally unfavOrable, consume very
many hours Of the open ses-
sion. In a called session all this
is avoided, committees are only
appointed to attend to certain specific
work and afternoon sessions are al
most Immediately in order. This be-
ing the case one or more subjects ex-
ira for consideration do not matter;
and The STATESMAN would very
much desire to see one subject not at
present outlined in the Governors in
tention, added to the list; that is a
proper treatment of the capitol
grounds. Plans for the improvement
of these grounds surely can be per.
fected between now and March, and
it is shame for Texas to let them re.
main in their present condition any
longer than absolutely necessary
There is plenty of money in the treas
ury to do all the work, and much of il
can be done before the regular session
of 1893. This suggestion is respect
fully submitted to Governor Hogg in
the name of the environment of the
handsomest state capitol building ir
the United States.
The Austin weekly statesman. (Austin, Tex.) 1883-1898, 1891-11-26
AUSTIN FACTORIES.

1t was suggested to The STATES
MAN recently that nearly all the man
ufactories of the United States were
in barren countries, where there was
little profit in farming or stock rails
ing, and that manufactures in such
countries presented the only invest
ment for money, and the returns from
this investment were small. ''In the
SOUTH" was the farther argument,
"the profits from other sources are
900 large to make men willing to put
their money into factories. This will
never be a manufacturing country I'M
til it is so thickly settled that the
people will be forced to turn their at
tention to something else besides
farming"
The difficulty with this argument is
that the premises are too sweeping
True, manufactures flourish in the
New England States, but they flourish
also in Ohio, New York, New Jersey,
Illinois, Michigan and Wisconsin,
which are among the best farming
states in the Union. Instead of pay
ing a small dividend they have built
up such an immense business that
other portions assail them bitterly as
monopolists. 1t is true, also, that
these Northern manufactures are stu.
ated more unfavorably than they
would be in the South, being in some
cases hundreds of miles from the raw
material which they wish to utilize.
Austin's prospects as manufacture
ing town are exceedingly bright
whatever those of other portions o.
the country may be. Grand Rapids
with not one-fourth the water power
which Austin will possess, has grown
to be one of the most prosperous cities
of the North. Austin, with her water
power as the attraction, and with {
world of material upon which t.
work, will become the leading manu-
featuring city Of the South, as she il

THE Tyler Democrat-Reporter says
that more country produce is needed
in Tyler. The same might be said Of
every town in the state. The farmers
who live in the neighborhood of towns
could, with advantage to themselves,
number among their farm products
more butter, eggs, chickens and veg
etables. But they don't do it, and the
towns are rarely supplied with these
articles.

JOE UTILIZATION has told a great
many unreasonable and unbelievable
things, according to the st. Louis Re-

pion liar of the universe. But he
never, no never has said that tin plate

The Fort Worth Gazette says sig
nificantly that Fort Worth could
raise her quota of the Worlds fair
fund in about two hours if the spirit
moved her. The same is true of
every city and county in the state.
1t is q ridiculous thing that the plead
ing and urging have to go YEARLY on
when the people could in half day
prove their patriotism and enterprise
by raising the whole amount.

GLOVE me, love my dog" was the
old proverb, and like most of the old
proverbs, it holds good yet. The
most peacable man in the world will
fly at Sullivan's throat if he dares to
kick his dog. Even dead dog has
lately played a conspicuous part in a
personal feud, two New Workers
having fallen out over the burial place
of dog, whereupon one of them beat
the other over the head with crow
bar. A burial place for one of the
combatants and hanging place for
the other are now in order.
