THE STATE PRESS.

The Reagan Herald sends out a
handsome Christmas supplement.
The Ellis County Mirror is eleven
years old and as gay and full of hope
as though it had just started.
The Victoria Advocate has estab-
lished its claim as the oldest weekly
in the state, having been established
in 1916.
The Abilene Reporter has kept up
the fight for ten years, and Editor
Hoeny and the Reporter are flourish
ing together.
The La Grange Journal of last week
was dated December AZ, but it didn't
really mean it. Figures that don't
lie sometimes change places.
The MeXia Ledger announces regret
fully: "The Ledger contained more
Typographical errors to the square
inch last week than all the papers of
the state combined.n
The Nacogdoches Chronicle an
nOunces that it is two years old, and
says with pardonable pride, GA
sprightlier, healthier two-y ear-old kid
cannot be found in newspaperdom."
The Bolton Reporter lays down an
old-fashioned but honest principle of
ethics: LET Democrat be Demo-
crat from principle and not for the
loaves and fishes that are to be found
in political preferment."
This piece of advice from the Sher-
man Register applies otherwhere as
well as at Sherman: "Don't stand
back when your town needs your
services. The man who works for his
town is working for HIMSELF
The Alvarado Bulletin thus booms
a new enterprise: 1.-The report is that
Editor Malone is to be at the head of
a new morning paper to be started at
Fort Worth. Unless there are sew
eral barrels of money behind it, the
Bulletins advice would be-'don't." ~
The Gainesville Signal truthfully
remarks: "There is not state in the
Union which can show a better
country newspaper press than Texas.
AS rule they are neatly printed,
ably edited, and if patronized accord
ing to their merits, their circulations
would be more than doubled.n ---Y
The Tyler ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS gives
this pleasant and cordial praise to The
people of the East Texas city: "Tyler
can receive and bear the abuse of
other sections of the state, but when
it comes to acts of charity there are
none who excel our people. An APP
peal for help, when help is needed, is
always met with o hearty response"

WHAT ARE YOU EATING +?

People who have, in an ungarded
moment, become addicted to the
corned beef habit, will now be seized
with remorse and solemnly swear off.
The discovery of Chicago abattoirs
where worn out horses were turned
into corned beef gave the public all
uneasy feeling of nausea and gloom;
and now the inspectors of the bureau
of animal industry have unearthed
another abattoir on Long Island,
where all kinds Of out-of-date horses,
old, decrepit, broken down or diseas-
ed, made their appearance in new
role, and became corned beef, for
family consumption. 1t is such little
social upheavals as this that make
one consider DR.. Tanner and Succi
as the only wise men.

and the manufactured goods pass be-
fore reaching us, when the factories
are located many hundreds of miles
away from us, that it would pay very
handsomely. But under skilled and
intelligent management very nearly
or quite all the profits of all the peo-
pie who now handle the wool from
the time it leaves the sleeps back
until it is returned here in the shape
of coats, pants, vests, etc., would be
kept right here at home. Besides the
direct profits to the stockholders, the
money paid out for Labor would
greatly benefit every branch of bust
ness. Not only SO, but the cheapened
goods, even allowing all the profits
above mentioned, will prove God
send to our home buyers, while
always assuring stable and good
market to the mandatory.

ANOTHER ENTERPRISE.

Austin is beginning to look up, ana
her prospects of becoming manu-
featuring center are daily growing
brighter. Among the visitors to the
city yesterday was gentleman from
Monterey, Mexico, who was looking
over the ground with q view to estaD-
fishing large Touring mill in this
place. This gentleman, Mr.. Gettis,
now has plant in Monterey, but
thinks of moving it to Texas, and
should he do so he will doubtless Sc
lect Austin as the most favorable To-
cation. He will manufacture the
finest grades of patent flour. There
is little need of calling attention to
the benefit this would be to Austin.
Once start the wheels of factories 60
ing in this city and it will distance all
rivals, not only in Texas, but also III
the South. Austin should extend
warm welcome to such enterprises.
THE STATESMAN hopes to hear that
the -four mill will be located in this

THE CRISP POLICY.

Reports from Washington seem ito
Indicate that Speaker Crisp has taken
the bit in his teeth, and seems de-
termined to go his own road. 1t was
the opinion of his friends and advis-
ers that Mills should be given the
craftsmanship of the ways and means
committee, but Speaker Crisp APP
pears to think otherwise, and has
made Springer chairman of that
committee. Such move as this
is very poor and mistaken policy,
and if Mr. Crisp follows the course
he has, apparently, outlined for
himself, he win injure himself and
his party at the very outset of
his career. 1t takes truly great
man to make generous enemy,
and if Mr.. Crisp had shown a spirit
of magnanimity toward his
most powerful opponent, he would
have made friend of every Mills adj
herent.

AUSTIN Has HER FRIENDS.

The day after an alleged mass
meeting some weeks ago here in Aus
tin, called to take action upon the de-
feat of Mr.. Mills for speaker, an
article was sent in to THE STATESMAN
for publication. 1t was an article in
dulging in highly eulogistic praise OF
the Democracy of the dominant fac
ton of the meeting" but grossly in
sulting to the citizens of Austin gen
orally. The writer, burning with
great thoughts that must be uttered,
also had something to say against
THE STATESMAN, but for that The
STATESMAN cared nothing. 1t was
an article vulnerable in every particu-
lar, and if we had cared to publish 1t,
could have been punctured into
unacceptable condition. But it
was an article The STATESMAN
did not care to give the public at It's
own EXPENSE, and so informed the
gentleman, offering him, however, to
put it into type at less than half the
usual advertising rates. But the gen
tleman did not burn to be heard quite
that badly. 1t now appears, however,
thathe found a medium of limited pub
Lefty for his article in the columns of
the Speaker of the House, Mr.. Miners
paper, the Henderson Weekly Times.
Mr.. Miner introduces the article with
touching paragraph declaring it adj
mitted free of charge as are "all first
class Democratic documents" The
article in itself amounts to absolutely
nothing so far as its Importance is
concerned and is only mentioned
as showing that there live in
Austin those who think it
good policy to write for publication in
paper at a distance in the state arti-
cles that attack Austin in wholesale
way. Austin can very well abide the
issue of such attacks; she will outlive
those who make them; but point is
given to the writing of this article in
question when it is known its author
is clerk IN the employ of the general
land office.

A MOB at Millersburg, Ky, made a
cowardly attack upon Rev. j. G.
Reeves, presiding elder of the district,
and assailed him with rotten eggs, "a
prominent citizen of the town" coming
to the support of the mob. The as
sault was caused by the fact that Mr..
Reeves voted to remove the Methodist
Wesleyan college from Millersburg to
Winchester. This cowardly assault
shows that his Judgment was correct.

WILL A WOODEN MILL PAY IN
AUSTIN?

The great Eastern market for WOO
is Boston, Mass, and it costs the deal
er there cent per pound to buy Toxas
wool and cents per pound for freight
Now take into consideration the fact
that Texas wool will shrink in scour.
ing &C per cent, and you can readily
see that the freight on one pound OF
clean wool is 6 cents. Again, the
Boston wool merchant must sell the
wool to some manufacturer. He may
te located in Waterville, Me-, OF
Rockville, Conn, or in any one OF the
many wool manufacturing towns IN
the Eastern or Northern states, the
wool has to be shipped again, often
200 to 500 miles or more, at cost OF
not less than is Of cent per pound
on raw wool, which amounts to SO OF
cent per pound on clean wool. Add
to that merchants profit of per cent,
based on cost of 90 cents, the average
price of Texas wool per pound, and we
have one more cent per pound. Thus
you can plainly see that the wool
has cost the Eastern manufacturer
S3-5 cents per pound more
than it would a mill located here.
Again, the eastern manufacturer after
converting the wool into fabrics al
most invariably ships them to COM
mission merchant in New York. The
freight, insurance, labor and commits
sions amount to at least ten per cent.
The commission merchant now sells
the fabric to some clothing manufac-
turer. The'great cloth cutters and
clothing manufacturers of the United
States are located in Cincinnati,
Chicago and st. Louis; what the
freight would amount to from New
York to these points we are unable to
say, but it is no small amount. The
clothing manufacturers salesman
now offers for sale, perhaps in our
city, clothing made in many instances
from the wool grown i'll this county,
and sells it to US at a profit of at least
ten per cent. Just consider the long
route the wool has travelled and the
numerous profits that have been made
on it, all of which can be made by
mill located here. Then consider the
cheap water power now being devel-
oped in our city, and decide for your
selves whether wooden mill located
here in the midst of the raw material.
cutting its own production up into
clothing and selling it direct to the
clothing trade, would pay or not. Any
intelligent man can see that if fac
tory located here made one-half or
even one-fourth of the aggregate
profits made by the many people
through whose hands the raw wool

THE insane freak of Henry Norcross
is about to bring on an epidemic of
cranks. Numerous threatening let
tees have been sent to Russell Sage,
and a man absolutely forced his way
into the hall of Sage's house the
other night, and demanded $25OO.
Mrs. Sage, however, is wife worth
having. She caught the intruder by
the throat, thrust him out of the
house and locked the door in his face.

man of this city, formerly of st.

last night when the team became
frightened and ran away, wrecking
the vehicle. Bramble was thrown
violently to the ground and was
dragged about thirty feet, receiving
serious injuries about tho head and
chest. He was rendered unconcious
and remained on the ground for a
couple of hours before he was discov-
cred and picked up. He is now out of
danger.

The GraYes-Barnaby Trial.

DENVER, Colo, Dec. 26.-In the
Graves trial this morning Mr.. Stevens
announced that after an examination
of the letter, the prosecution with
drew ali objections to it's being adj
mitted in evidence. This is the letter
which it was claimed the doctor wrote
to Mrs. Barnaby in San Francisco at
the time she was on her way to Den
yer and at about the time the fatal
bottle was mailed. 1t is the inten-
tion to prove that the doctor thought
Mrs. Barnaby was in San Francisco
and therefore he could not have mail
ed the bottle to her in Denver, if he
thought she was elsewhere. Judge
Furman read the letter which ex-
planned to Mrs. Barnaby how to get
the DOCTORS checks cashed and told of
the death of his brother. 1t was
dated March 9th and was posted
at Providence on March 80. Mr.. Ste
vens then said he wished the letter to
go in evidence under instructions of
the court. The letter was passed from
Juror to juror and finally handed back
to Judge Furman. The defense APP
peared jubilant, but the prosecution
was not unhappy. Judge Furnan re-
sumed the Doctors direct eXamina-
ton, and he denied that he had told
Mrs. Hickey that he had engaged
Dollie Hanley to spy upon Mrs. Bar
naby. This concluded his direct eX-
and Mr.. Stevens began his
discrimination.

IT has been decided that Edward
w. Field is "insane." When insanity
leads a man to victimize and defraud
other people, to steal, to cheat, to
commit forgeries, it is so much like
plain rascality that it ought to be ac-
commodated with prison cell and a
suit of stripes just on account of its re-
semblance.

RANGERS AT LAREDO.

LAREDO, Dec. 27.-Capt. Brooks
company of state rangers arrived to-
day on a special train from Cotulla
and at once took up the line of march
for the scene of Garza's operations
below Laredo. Nothing authentic
concerning Cara has reached here
since the fight last Wednesday at the
Tortilla ranch. Though the Cara
movement creates some excitement at
this time on the border, nothing Sc
rious is apprehended from this foolish
effort to revolutionize Mexico. No
better evidence could be cited of the
confidence in the stability of the Diaz
government than is offered by the
heavy increase in shipments of late
from this country into Mexico, material
to build up American investments in
Mexican enterprise. Cara created a
sensation in Laredo several years ago
when he addressed society of Next
cans, organized by the late Gen. Mar
tinez and Ruiz Sandoval, to further
their revolutionary intentions. CARA
in his speech vilified and abused the
Americans and their government in
the bitterest words the Spanish Ian
guage could supply.
