sam Jones and Politics.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, June 10
Sam Jones the noted evangelist,
concluded a successful meeting
here last night. Among other
things, in his closing sermon he
said, touching politics. "The diff
ference between the Republican
platform and the Democratic plat
form is in the tariff. That is all.
A fellow may say 4 would die for
the principles of my party, when
he would not know principle il
he were to meet one in the road.
If old Tammany were to go to hell
in a body and knock at the door
the devil would have to let them
in one at a time. Ifhe we're to lei
them in all at once they would
knock him in the head, elect their
own devil and run things to suit
themselves"

Our business men should have
an eye to business, and provide a
home market for the producers.
Mutual exchanges of products and
merchandise are the life Of trade.
Business of a town does not con-
sist in measuring a yard of cloth
or weighing pound of sugar, etc,
but in careful prudent manage
ment with a tendency to a gradual
improvement and development Of
home industries, in supplying the
surrounding country with such
articles as are needed, and reliev-
ing the producers Of surplus atrea-
sonable prices. In short business
consists in regulating markets
with reference to both imports
and exports. How the business
men Of town can afford not to
buy the surplus wheat, oats, corn,
cotton, potatoes, wool, pecan, ETC.,
and yet expect the patronage of
the producers Of the above we can
not figure out.

ED. NEws:-Being a constant
reader Of your paper, and interes-
ted in the welfare Of San Saba,
both town and county, 1 viii drop
in a again hoping to be heard, as
there is some talk of bridge on
the Colorado river and a good
road to the railroad and Llano. If
a good wagon road was run from
Brownwood and a good bridge on
the Colorado would bring San Saba
to the front faster than most any
thing that could be done. The
route that 1 propose is a good one
and the best that a railroad can
get, and we all know that Brown
wood is and will be a center for
railroads, and to build said bridge
and road, and put them in good
condition would soon increase the
population of the county, and 1
expect that there could be some
subscription to help. More in the
future. WANDERING JEW.

VOLUME XVIII.


ED. NEWS:-IO resume my mar
rative: In January, 1862, Thos
Cabinas was killed by the Indians
on Cherokee. The following ac-
: count of Cabinas death was OBJ
tanned from Mathew Kuykendall
Cabinas had received a wound IL
the battle of Elkhorn, had been
stolen out by the Yankee soldiers
and came to Texas. He stayed
all day at my house on Sunday be-
fore the Monday on which he was
killed. Tom had lost one of his
oxen and enquired of me if 1 had
seen it; l told him that l had, and
also told him where the strayed
OK could be found. 1 told him
further, that he had better look
out or some day when he was by
himself the Indians would pick
him up. He said that he disliked
to ask some of the neighbors to go
with him every time one of his
oxen strayed off, but that he had
to get the OK the next day and that
would be his last trip by himself,
and sure enough ii was. The next
morning Cabinas took his big
rifle, mounted his horse Ga good
horse), and proceeded up Chero-
kee creek in search of the OK.
About IL m Ruben Gray heard
a gun fire, but thought nothing of
it. About sunset, Cabinas not ap-
pearing, his folks became uneasy
for his safety and sent some one
to my house to get up a party to
go in search of the missing man.
1t was raining hard, bitter cold
and very soon became pitch dark,
so we did not go on the search I'M
til morning. When morning came
several of us went up the creek.
About midday we heard a gun fire
and straightway went in that di-
reetion. After covering about
tbree-ouarters of a mile we came
upon a second search party, who
had come on after us, and now
that they had found the body of
Cabinas, fired a gun to let us know
The dead man had two arrow
wounds in the back and an arrow
wound under each arm. He was
also scalped and his coat was gone,
otherwise he was not mutilated.
The body was found in the road,
near Soldiers waterhole, Cherokee.
On examination we found that the
Indians had taken it time about
running Cabinas, and had, as
matter of course, finally run him
down. He had fred but one shot
at the red devils. We found his
gun in a thicket hard by, with the
lock broken off.
About this time Neuton (?)
Philips was killed, probably by
the same band of Indians, at the
Stacker ranch, on the head of Cher
okee. At the time of Philips
death he was employed by Al
Robins to herd horses. Some of
the horses had strayed off and
Philips, unarmed, went in search
Of them, leaving other men to
take care of the horse herd. Some
Indians saw and pursued him.
He made for the ranch house
which he succeeded in reaching
without scratch. After securing
gun, Philips came out into the
yard in order to get shot at his
persuers; Just as he raised his
gun to fire, an Indian one hundred
and fifty yards distant, and who
had laid an old Henry rife in the
fork of live oak to steady his aim,
shot him in the hip. Philips re-
treated into the house, the other
men charged the Indians, and af-
ter sharp conflict. succeeded in
driving them off. No Indians were
killed. Philips died within q few
days. LEMON SQUEEZER.

Z. We favor our present railroad
commission, except we demand it

pointive.
s. We condemn the present
amended Alien land law and favor
the enactment of law that will

9. We condemn the practice Of
the General Land Office in issuing
patents to lands on what is known
as office field notes, whereby the
iocators in many instances are
enabled to secure large excesess
without paying for the same; but
we favor the enactment of Law
that will compel the the locator to
pay for the excess or that it revert

10. We demand that our home

that land owners can not preempt

IL. We demand the enactment
of laws that will prevent railroads
