Hon. A. W. Terrell, in his speech
here on the occasion of the reunion
of the Texas Veterans, in speaking
of the Alamo monument on the CAPT
toll grounds, which is being con
structed as a state memorial in honor
of the hsroes who fell in the siege
of the alamo, which is not yet COM
pIeted but far enough to be of i'm
posing interest, said there are four
granite columns arched with stone
covering on which will be mounted
a bronze statue of O soldier The
four massive supporting columns are
respectively inscribed with the names
of Travis, Bowie and Bonham and
Crockett, under which are inscribed
the names of the privates who fell in
the siege. The facings of the cap
stone bear the inscriptions: On the
west side, "Heroes Of the Alamo"
with a bronze device representing
the final struggle in the Alamo de-
tense; on the east, "God and Texas
Victory or DEATH" with bronze de-
vices of battle flags and weapons of
war On the north the inscription
reads: 'Thermopyle had her mes
senger of defeat-the Alamo had
none" and on the south are Travis
declarations to the enemy. Il shall
never surrender or retreat" with de-
vices in stone of crossed swords and
cannon. 1t was hoped the monu-
ment would be completed for the an
niversary of the battle of San Jacinto,
in which the fall of the Alamo was
so signally avenged under the battle
cry suggested by Gen. Houston,
Remember the Alamo" After thus
describing this memorial. Mr.. Terrell
INDUCED in a picture of his own
poetic conception, which he said he
hoped to see erected on the opposite
of the walk from the Alamo monu-
ment. It was a memorial to the
avengers of the Alamo. He wanted
to see the four granite columns
arched with stone just like the other
on which should be mounted an
statue of Houston, fac
ing the South, and on the four mas
sive columns inscribed deep the
names of every hero who helped
avenge the Alamo while following
this great leader, to whose memory
be paid a glowing tribute.

CLEvELAND's VIEWS.

The State Treasurer of Missouri
called on ex-President Cleveland re-
Gently and asked ''if you are elected
President and Congress passes the
free coinage bill, would you veto it,
nolens, volens?" If elected, Mr..
Cleveland replied, such a bill would
not reach him until 1894 and what
might be bad for the country at
present, might be a necessity in
1894 As the volume of business in
creases, it is necessary to increase
the currency. When the law was
passed providing for the coinage of
S2,000,000 per month and the pres
ent law providing for the coinage of
50, 100000 per month I thought the
measure was too radical, but believe
the laws were wise ones in so far as
the country has been benefited. 1t
is impossible to say what financial
measure we may be ready for in
1894. NV only desire is to see fnan-
cial legislation enacted for the whole
people. This great country should
not be viewed from the standpoint
of any section. Free coinage would
drive gold out of circulation. The
ex-president desires a new standard
of value to be settled and agreed
upon by other nations and closed
his interview by stating that he was
delighted with the thoughtful con
sideration this question is assuming
and that by 1892 it will have been
decided whether or not we are
ready to handle all the silver of the
world. :

Italy and America hos been war
ing and as might have been expected
America got the best of the fight.
The battle ground was Paris, France,
and the representatives Marquis de
Bretanil, who married Miss Garner,
a New York heiress, end Peterson,
the American artist, defenders of
Uncle Sam and two Italians of high
standing. The Marquis and Cavalier
de Cittadina almost came to blows
at popular club, the Marquis offer
ing to fight duel.
The same night at cafe in the
Latin quarter Peterson, was accosted
by Prevalti an italian newspaper
correspondent who said he thought
he would have gone home to hide
himself beneath the tail feathers of
the American eagle.
Peterson, who Is small man,
said: "Italy, if she is made up of
braggarts, such as you seem to be,
will be spanked by America as a
father spanks a froward boy. You
shouldn't talk so loudly. 1t is bad
form. Sit down and behave your
self"
Prevalti, without another word,
reached forward and gave Peterson
a Highlander on the mouth, injur-
ing his front teeth and causing blood
to squirt from his lips.
In an instant Peterson was on his
feet and, as the table went over and
the glasses crashed in atoms on the
floor, he let fly first his right and
then his left, striking Prevalti in one
eye and on the nose.
Prevalti tried to clinch, being the
more powerful of the two, but Peter
son held him off and battered him
with all the science and rapidly of
trained boxer.
Thepair finally hooked each other,
fought and tumbled all over the
room. The other guests were panic
stricken und made for the street.
In about ten minutes Prevalti
looked as though he had fooled with
a buzzsaw. Both eyes were blacken-
ed, his face was streaming with
blood, and his necktie and collar
dangled in amusing disorder over
the front of his vest.

LET US HAVE 1T.

General Il. B. Stoddard, chair
man of the committee on camp
ground, appointed at the last meet
ing of the Texas Volunteer Guard
association, held at Galveston in
February, has just made his report
that it is the desire of the militia to
have permanent ground and invit-
ing sealed offers from such localities
town or city, as will donate eight,
acres of land for such camp. The
land must be suitably located on a
railroad and have an abundance of
fresh water thereon. All offers
must be on file in the adjutant gen.
erals office at II O'Clock, May 8,
1891. There is nothing like trial and
if Brennan was to undertake to Sc
cure the permanent camp, she
would no doubt make it warm for
the competitor that did not succeed.

The trouble in the coke regions
of Pennsylvania is not yet over,
says an exchange, and it may be
that a serious conflict with the
State authorities will take place be-
fore it is brought to an end. A
great deal of this trouble is due to
the fact that lawless class of men
were imported from Europe to work
in the coke region. If this had not
been done, the operators would
have to deal with far more intelli-
gent class of laborers. The men
who brought these Slavs and others
of their kind into the country de-
serve no sympathy. In so far as
they suffer, they may be said to suffer
justly. But the peace of the State
of Pennsylvania is endangered, and
to a greater or less degree the
whole country is disturbed, The
American people have been learning
some lessons of late which it is to
be hoped they will take to heart.

BRIGHT's DISEASE.
Why will anyons with weak kidneys

Of all insidious ailments there is none
more certain of deadly effect, if neglected,
than Bright's Disease Thousands who
suffer from this disease do not even know
they are affected. 1t comes upon person
slowly but surely, like a thief in the
night. 1t has no symptoms peculiarly its
own, but its effect is indicated by symp-
toms that might be traced TO other causes.
The fluids of the body vary in color from
light to dark, and if left standing assume
q cloudy appearance and deposit sedi-
ment that may be either red or white.
Frequently there is pain about the loins,
under the left shoulder, or in the small of
the back. The victim feels listless and
drowsy, is easily fatigued, and usually of
agloomy and melancholy disposition. The

WEAK KIDNEYS

kidneys are always disease i. in fact, Bright's
Disease is to the kidneys what consumption
is to the lungs. The kidneys become ul-
cerated and waste away. Unable to prop
erly perform their function, the kidneys
become inactive and every function of the
body suffers. Great weakness and ENACT
alton follows. A state of impoverishment
of the blood sets in and the end is complete
exhaustion. To check this decay of the
kidneys, to infuse renewed strength, and
to aid the recuperative tendencies of Nat
ure, no remedy acts so kindly and har-
moniously as DR.. John Bulls Sarsaparilla.
Sufferers from Bright's Disease given up
by their friends and physicians to die have
found safety in this remedy and by its use
been restored to heal tn and physical vigor.

rapidly.
The condition is reported fine
with good stands all through. A
