STATE OF NEW YORK, ASSEMBLY CHAMBER,(
ALBANY, Jan. l6, 1890.
I desire once more to bear my testi-
mony to the value of Allcock's Porous
Plasters. | have used them for 25
years past and can consciously c)m-
mend them as the best external
remedy that I have known. Years
ago, when thrown from a carriage and
seriously injured, gave them thor.
ough trial. In very short time the
pain that 1 was suffering disappeared,
and within week l was entirely re-
lieved. On another occasion, when
suffering from severe cough, which
threatened pulmonary difficulties,
which l was recommended to go to
Florida to relieve, determined to test
the plasters again. L applied them to
my chest and between the shoulder
blades, and in less than fortnight
was entirely cured. On still another
occasion when suffering from an at
tack of rheumatism in the shoulder to
such an extent that could scarcely
raise my arm, again resorted to the
plasters, and within very few days
the rheumatism entirely disappeared.
1 have them constantly by me,
whether at home or abroad. My
family as we'll as myself have found
them to be sovereign remedy, both
for external and internal troubles.
never had but one kidney difficulty in
my life, and the application of the
plasters cured me in week. L de.
sire, as said before, to bear my tes-
timony in public way to their ef-
ficacy, and 1 know of no better way
of doing it than by giving you my
personal experience

CHINESE MUST 60.
White Workingmen Organizing Against the
Employment Of Cinnamon.

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. ia cru
SADIE against Chinese laborers mas been
started in Fresno and other places in
the San Joaquin valley and seems to
spreading over the state. Owing to
financial troubles large numbers of
white men are out of work, while
many Chinese are employed on vine-
yards and ranches. 1t looks as if the
Chinese would be displaced. Thus
far violence has been narrowly averted.
At Selma white men notified the
Chinese that they must leave town.
At Fresno unemployed men to the
number of 500 held a meeting and par
AIDED through the streets denouncing
the Chinese. The merchants and
vineyardists of Fresno held a meeting
and many announced that they would
discharge their Chinese help and en-
ploy white labor. Thus far there has
been DO trouble and it looks as if the
unemployed in this valley will dis
place Chinese labor,

its lawmakers would not heed Mr..
Cleveland's advice in 1885 but on the
contrary in 1890 went further in bad

County School Matters ,

In conversation with County School
Superintendent Sneed yesterday a
STATESMAN reporter was requested
to state that all parents DESTROYS of
having their children transferred from
one school district to another should
do so at once as the transfer books
are now liable to be closed at any day.
The proper way to do is to notify Cap

sired.
The county board of examiners will
meet on Friday and Saturday of this

purpose of examining applicants for

DEMoCRACY's boast has been that
it is the party of tariff reform, the
party opposed to the idea of protec-
ton. And yet it would seem from the
way some quondam Democrats are
bowling about protecting silver and
seeing to it that the price of the white
metal does not go down lower, that
there must be something wrong in
this claim of anti-protection that Dem
ocracy has 80 persistently made.

Special to The Statesman.

Special to The Statesman.
WACO, Tex, Aug. ia frightful
and shocking tragedy was enacted in
East Waco tonight. John Ward and
Matte Roney, both colored, who have
been together several are
dead. The woman was killed by the
man who followed the murder
by suicide. The woman was
taking bath when Ward
entered with huge, keen knife. He
stabbed her II times, hacking her
body, arms and neck horribly. The
woman ran from the house naked into
an adjoining house where she died in
few minutes. After stabbing the
woman, Ward cut his throat
and plunged the knife into his breast
several times. He refused doctor
and laid wallowing in his blood until
death came three hours afterwards.
The cause of the tragedy was jealousy
on the part of Ward of the attentions
bestowed by the woman upon another
negro.

WEATHER AND CROPS.
Weekly Report Of the Condition Of Weather

Weekly Report Of the Condition Of Weather
and Crops by the Galveston Bureau.
GALVESTON, Aug. 15.-The weekly
weather and crop bulletin of the
Texas state weather service was is-
sued this evening for the week ending
Aug IA. 1t is as follows:
Rainfall-The weather has been
showery over East Texas and portions
of the coast district and Central Texas
where the amounts have ranged gen.
orally from half an inch to one and
one-half inches, over other portions of
the state few scattered showers have
fallen, but the amounts have been SO
small as rule that they amount to
very little. In some parts of Central
and Southwest Texas no rains of any
consequence have fallen for two
months or more. The rains have
rarely been so irregular as during the
past two months. Some localities
have had excellent seasons while others
O. few miles distant rave had very lit
tie rain.
Temperature-As a rule both day
and night have been cool and the tenn
perature over the greater portion of
the state averages for the week from
one to two degrees below the normal
The highest temperatures reported
from the several stations from IS near
the coast to SO in the interior aud the
lowest ranges from 66 in the interior
O N near the coast.
Sunshine-There has been defiei-
ency in sunshine over East Texas and
the eastern portion of the coast dis
trict while over other portions it has
been generally about the average or
slightly in excess. The greatest per-
centage of the possible is reported
from Southwest Texas.
Insects-Boll worms are reported in
small numbers from several localities
in east and the coast district and
the eastern portion of North and Cen
trail Texas. Grasshoppers have about
disappeared.
CONDITION OF CROPS.
Cotton-Prospects for cotton have
continued to improve during the week
except over portions of Southwest
Texas and the western portion of the
coast district and also localities oyel
Central Texas where the drouth con
tinues. With the exception of the
above the cotton crop is gener
ally doing very well although
it is very irregular. No damage
of any consequence is reported
from DOLL worms so far. Picking ha:
been progressing rapidly over the
southwestern portions of the state
where the weather has been dry apC
clear. 1t will be the latter part of tn,
month before much picking Is done il
the northern portion of the state.
Other crops-Over the no thwesterI
portions of the state farmers are put
ting in millet and sorghum for ha,
: crops. Grass is doing very we'll il
most parts of the state. Prospects TO
gardens are good.

Now think of it! This showing is
not only with the products above
mentioned left out, but also truck
farming valued at SIG, 5l7, 155, all live
stock eliminated, as also the
coal and mineral outputs and
all values interested in manufactures.
What would be the result with all
these included heaven only knows.
But In considering only the six pro-
ducts quoted we have an excess in
value in corresponding year over
silver of 1913, S6O,954,
Now the point we would make is,
why should the tail wag the dog?
Why should this enthusiastically small
amount of silver because of its relation
to the actual cash of the country be
allowed to create a financial panic
that involves in q general crash these
billions of dollars in value? The
United States regards silver as a very
small thing in itself. 1t is
o product that OF itself
is of very minor Importance, not near
approaching in value very many other
of our products. 1t is only because 1t
it coined into money that it has any
Importance. Why, the value of the
coal output in 1889 was over $500, OOO,-
900, while that of iron and steel was
much more. 1t is because of silver's
money relation that all this trouble IL
precipitated. And why should money
thing adopted only as convenience
as q medium of exchange, be allowed
to play such havoc with the necessities
of life, with values that multiply Its
value more than hundred fold,
There Is not enough gold and silver il
the world for the United States
let alone the rest of the world
to do a spot cash business. 1t is credi
that counts and 1t Is that 95 per cen
of credit that is now paralyzed by
this foolish money scare. How tn,
United States with it's immeasurabl
riches upon which to base its credit
can afford to allow the simmer OF
little silver or the CLINT of gold to s
demoralize its business, both at HON
and abroad, does seem inexplicable
1t is a question that can only be solv
ed by the collective wisdom of the ma
tion's solons to whom it is most r.
spectful yeferred.

PIEDRAs NEGRAs, Mex, Aug. 49,
The town of Nava, state of Coahuila'
is said to have been captured by the
Cardenas party. This would put them
in possession of all the towns around
Piedras Negras. Two hundred federal
troops were disembarked this morning
at Sabinas and Peyotes. A large force
of cavalry is reported to be dis
tributed along the railroad. What
action the federal troops will take is
unknown. Colonel Herrera, COM
handing the Cardenas forces, is
camped near Peyotes. The trouble
will probably end in the state being
placed under military rule until after
the election, result desired by many
of the best citizens. Neither party is
expected to resist the federal authori-
ties. so that bloodshed will be avoided

SILVER rs. OTHER PRODUCTS.

While the product of the silver
mines is claiming so much attention,
suppose we glance at some other pro
ducts of the United States and insti,
tute comparison of valuee.
The cotton crop, in which the South
is so peculiarly interested, was IN
1912, 8, 216, 900 bales, which at $40 a
bale would amount to 1926, 10000.
The hay crop for 1858 was worth
$4OS, 400, 565, and at the price 1t now
commands and with its increased
acreage should this year be worth at
least $6OO,OOO,OOO.
The potato crop of 1883
was worth. $S1 $3.50, and
we will put it at that figure this year.
The wheat crop for 1890 was 800 1862,
600 bushels, which at The average price
of 80 cents bushel for the year, would
mean $500, 1886, 800.
Oats in 1890 yielded 523,62l, 900
bushels, which at 40 cents meant 5000,
448,400
Corn in 1890 yielded 1,489,97O,O 900
bushels, which at 40 cents a bushel
would mean $685.. $685. 900.
Now we take just these dix products
and leave out of account for the year
1890. hops 1887, 100000 pounds, cane
ugar 1862, 264 tons, tobacco 565,79i,264
