The Convict Trouble.

AUSTIN, Tex, Oct. 1l.-[Special]
The penitentiary board is here
today having a meeting. Among
other business they will have to
consider some new scheme for pur-
chasing farming lands for the con-
victs, as Culberson's recent deci-
sion, multiplying their recent pur-
chases, leaves the penitentiaries in
a bad fix. They are chuck full of
convicts with little prospects of
hiring any out, and the courts are
continually increasing the roll.

The Union Veteran Legion.

CINCINNATI, Oct. 1.-THE Union
Veteran Legion begins three days
session here today. The Legion
was organized at Pittsburg, Pa,
March, 1884, and the national or
ganization was perfected Nov. IL,
1886. Encampments are now or
gained in eighteen states and the
District of Columbia, numbering
l04 encampments. To become a
member, the applicant must have
been an officer, soldier, sailor or
marine of the Union army,
navy or marine corps during the
late civil war, who volunteered
prior to July |, 1868, for term Of
three years, and was hOnorably
discharged, for any cause, after a
service of at least two continuous
years; or was, at any time, dis
charged by reason of wounds re-
ceived in the line of duty; also
those who volunteered for a term
of two years prior to July %, 1861,
and served their full term of en-
listment, unless discharged for
wounds received in the line of duty,
but no drafted person, nor substi-
tute, nor any one who has at any
time borne arms against the Unit
ed States, is eligible. a statement
by the adjutant general of the
Legion says: at is believed that
those who entered the service prior
to July, 1868, had but one object in
view, and that was the preSerVa-
ton of the Union. There were no
bounties prior to that date, nor
were there any fears of draft ;
consequently, those who shout
dered musket or welded a saber
felt that it was a sacred duty to
offer their lives in defence Of their
country's honor" An article OF
the rules provides that "No officer
or comrade of the Union Veteran
Legion shall in any manner use
this organization for partisan pur'
poses, and no discussion Of parti'
| san questions shall be permitted at
any of it's meetings.

Water Trouble at Austin.

AUSTIN, Tex, Oct. 11.-[Special J.
Receiver Spence, of the Water Co.,
was seen by your correspondent
this morning, and said most en-
phatically that the water company
would not accept the city's propo-
sition and the water would be cut
off. The city owes the company a
bill for water in the past and now
wants to fix rate of valuation for
it and pay that in lien of the COM
pany's rates. The council last af-
ternoon decided that they would
pay the company just what they
wanted to. The company refuses
to accept and the outcome is that
Austin will go without water for
city purposes. The city undoubt-
ly owes the bill claimed by the
the water company. SMOOT.

NEW ORLEANS, La, Oct. IL
Glenny & Co., say: Liverpool

lower. Spots l-16 points lower,
sales 10000 middling 4 9-l6.
New York opened II points higher,

The steadiness of Liverpool today
after the depression in the Ameri-

and considerable buying for short

GOOD MORNING.

In assuming control the editor wishes
to say that he will endeavor to keep the
HERALD up to the excellent standard to
which it has attained under Mr.. Wall /;
and, in SO far as his ability lies, to give to
Aberdeen and Chehalis county the best
service and the best paper possible. 1t
is the intention to enlarge the paper soon.
1t will be his aim to make the HERALD
a thorough newspaper, of interest to the
business man, politician, farmer, and to
every member of the household. The
paper will be strictly Democratic; will
stand for what it believes to be the right,
whether in the party or ont, and will use
its influence for the building up Of Aber-
deem, Chehalis county, and the state OF
Washington. You gan increase its infu-
ence by your encouragement and patron

GIVE US ROADS.
age.

According to the county treasurer's re-
port of July first, there remains balance
of $622.52 to the credit of road district
No. 10. A road was started up the Wish
kali river in this district, and over. 5000
expended on it during the early spring,
when work was suddenly stopped OIL it.,
the commissioners giving as their reason
that there was not sufficient funds to
complete tho same. What work has been
done is in patches and is practically use
less. If the amount on hand was prop
erly expended, it would improve large
portion of this road and make it passable.
1t would be economy to do it at once,
as there are number of idle men around
the Harbor who badly need work and
money, and it is official negligence to
neglect such matters at times such as we
now have, and our county commissioners
should at once take steps to improve not
only this particular road but every similar
one in the entire county, as it is certainly
wise business move, and one that would
help to tide over the present close times.
This is a matter that the citizens of this
city and other points should take an in
terest in, and insist on the officers attend
ing to their duties. Not only would this
money be of more benefit to labor at this
particular time, but more work could be
obtained with it than at any other. Mr..
Commissioners, don't keep this money
tied up in "old socks' any longer.

ARTIFICIAL VALUES AND MAR
KETS

By their vote on the repeal of the pur-
chasing clause of the Sherman act, the
Republicans have almost unanimously
conceded the fallacy of undertaking to
establish an artificial market or artificial
values. Only when trade can be con-
Quoted in natural channels, without arti-
fetal stimulus, can we hope for real and
general and lasting prosperity. The inn
mediate effect of artificial markets and
values is apparent prosperity, but the
stimulus always reacts, and there is then
nothing left for those engaged in stimu-
lated channels of industry but to feed
upon each other, and as result OF the
ruinous competition which naturally fol-
lows, the loss more than offsets the gain.
Pertinent to the subject of artificial
values were the remarks of Cooper, Of
Florida, during the debate, when he said :
eff am to vote for bill to give an arti-
fetal value to things; il l am to vote for
this measure, l want an amendment
added by which my people shall receive
a dollar for 81 cents worth of their cotton
and tobacco and oranges and pineapples
and vegetables and logs and lumber and
turpentine."

HOME RULE.

The House of Commons passed the
Home Rule bill Saturday, and it was i'm
mediately sent up to the House of Lords,
where it was put through the formality of
the first reading. The Grand Old Man
received a perfect ovation on the way
from parliament.
In moving the third reading OF the bill,
Gladstone, referring to the assertions that
the bill would separate the islands ;
would destroy the constitution would
impose virtual slavery upon the minority
in Ireland; etc., closed with these i'm
pessive words "Now suppose these
enormous, hideous falshoods to be true,
have they not then a terrible recoil upon
ourselves? Must we not admit, after 700
years of British connection with Ireland,
the result of our treatment is that we
have brought her to such state that she
cannot, without danger and ruin, under
take responsibilities which in every other
country are found to be within the
capacity of the people, and fraught with
the richest benefits"
While the friends of Home Rule for
Ireland have gained decided victory,
the battle is not yet won, and it will take
all the genius of Gladstone, and all the
power of the government, with probably
another appeal to the country, to pass it
through the House Of Lords.

There is more catarrh in this section OF
the country than all the other diseases
put together, and until the last few years
was supposed to be 1ncurable. For a
great many years doctors pronounced it
a local disease, and prescribed local
remedies, and constantly failing to cuie
with local treatment, pronounced it in
durable. Science has proven catarrh to
be- constitutional disease and therefore
requires constitutional treatment. Hall's
Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J.
Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the only
constitutional cure on the market. 1t is
taken internally in doses from 10 drops
to teaspoonful.. 1t acts directly on the
blood and mucous surfaces of the system.

case it fails to cure. Send for circulars

Papa Was Tired.

The car was crowded, but delicate
looking man, a lady who was evidently
his wife, and a little girl of 6 or 7 crowded
in. A gentleman near the door politely
gave his seat to the lady, but the delicate
man was left standing. After several
blocks had been traversed, a pretty
woman in the corner Of the car asked the
child if she would not like to sit down.
''No, tank you," lisped the little one,
I don't care to sit down, but my papa is
very tired. He would like to sit in your
lap"
The roar Of laughter that went up from
the other passengers made the horses
quicken their pace, and the pretty woman
got out at the next corner.

A number of enterprising Minneapolis
lumber concerns are going to solve the
problem of moving the crops of the north
west, as far as they are concerned, in a
practical way. They are offering to
accept wheat certificates and even grain
itself in payment for lumber. In this
way they will be able to make sales, even
while money is scarce, and will not be
the losers by it either. 1t is good idea,

The council in struggling with the ques-
ton of ways and means for the coming
year, have been considering the question
of cutting off the electric lights. We are
heartily in favor of cutting down eX-
penses SO as to live within our income if
it can possibly be done, but it does seem
as though such an action as this would be
beginning at the wrong end.
We believe some of the lights could
and should be dispensed with, but that
the city should be left in darkness through
the long winter nights should not be
thought of. There are three lights near
the bridge, two of which can be made to
light all the territory they do now by. a
little Encouragement. There is one in
the west end that could be cut off; and
G. E. Burrows & Co. inform us that they
will pay half for light at the wharf.
This could be furnished by moving the
one on street few rods. We are
paying $134.5O per month for light. In
the manner noted above, the total could
be reduced to $3.50 year, which is
$3.50 less than the estimate. The esti-
mate for printing is at least $3.50 too
high. The estimate for wood for the
power house is higher than the actual
cost of last year, and we have no doubt
there are plenty of men who would now
furnish it for considerable less.
There is due some $4,000 on street i'm
provements. The city has won the first
of these cases, and the probability is that
enough can be collected from this source
to pay the interest on outstanding war
rants, and part Of the principal.
The salaries are not princely, but if
necessary shade them; cut off all posi-
BILE odds and ends, but don't leave us in
darkness this winter. 1t will ultimately
cost more than it saves. If it is desired
during the long days next summer, that
is another proposition.
We have taken the trouble to interview
some of the heaviest taxpayers on the
question, and here is what they say:
Capt. J. M. Weatherwax We must
economist, but there are two sides to the
question. If the lights are cut off, and
the plant can't pay expenses, the COM
pany will have to shut down then those
of us who have put lights into our stores
and houses will have to go to the expense
OF fitting up again with lamps. I think
some lights might be cut off.
Samuel Benn: I am interested in the
electric light" plant, and the less I say the
better, but as taxpayer think light is
more economical than extra nightwatch-
men, and damage suits.
r. T. Dabney: think it would be the
worst mistake we ever made. Then there
is another thing, the sidewalks are built
above the ground, rendering them danger
GUS in the dark, and on account OF which
accidents are liable to occur, for which
the city can be held for damages.
G. R. Wilson: I'm for economy, cut
off the lights. Besides there isn't enough
to do much good. There should be twice
as many or none.
II. G. Kaufman: Cut off the lights
Why, where there's light there's life.
Do you want to kill the town?
