enough to escape the draft. The farm
was valued at $4,000. and therefore
when he had paid in his hoard he still

was in a safer condition with greater
prospects of peace than it is today
The ease with which the strike OF the
most formidable promise OF success
WAS auieted gives assurances that the
arm of the law is strong and quick 10
suppress any unlawful uprisings'
howevec general and formidable. me
almost unanimous endorsement OF the
use of federal troops when the govern
ment of a state was weak, vacillatlng
and inefficient, shows that national
natriotism has been aroused, and all
the iealousies of the late war forgot
ten, but by a few men with more in
discreet zeal than prudence ana
patriotism. The New York Herald
of recent date had significant car
toon. The head of anarchy with the
body of an immense anaconda tWlheu
around the writing limbs Of liberty
was threatened from either side oy
the drawn swords Of the North ana
South, with the expression: zine
country is safe" That told the whole
story.
With the combined arms OF the
North and the South each alive with
the same patriotic emotions, who but a
foolish alarmist or a rank pessimlst
would doubt the safety and stability
of this governmet and this great
country? Political parties may
wrangle over measures, but when the
autonomy of the government Is
threatened by violence, the South as
we'll as the North and the East is
ready at q moments notice to move to
the front and rally around the nation
al authorities to shield its greatness
from the hand of either an intestine
or foreign foe. 1t is foolish and wicked
for any man to attempt to alarm the
people of this country. They can stay
at home, attend to their business
affairs, rest secure in all their social
relations and feel perfectly assured
that their peace and happiness Will
not be disturbed, the blatant oratory
of demagogues to the contrary, not
withstanding.

The Day Globe Gone Under.
Special to The Statesman.

Special to The Statesman.
WACO, Tex, July 2O.-The Waco
Day-Globe suspended publication with
the issue this morning. For some time
past it has been in financial straits.
The floating Indebtedness OF the pa
per is not large, A. R. McCollun,
proprietor and editor, places it at SIS
900, He assigns the suspension OF the
paper to dull business and slow col
iections, and says its assets are more
than equal to the floating indebted,
ness. For several weeks past, unusual
efforts were made to keep the paper
going. Its suspension leaves the city
without morning newspaper, and al
though there are many rumors con-
corning the publication OF a new morn
ing paper there is nothing yet devel-
ope1. A. r. McCollun, proprietor OF
the Day Globe, is one of the best
known newspaper men in the state
and his connection with the paper is a
story of sacrifices and exhausting labor
to promote its growth and maintain
it. Much sympathy is felt for him in
the failure of today.

Turned Over the Plates.

ST.. LOUIS, July 18.-United States
Secret Service Officer John e. Murphy
has received from the st. Louis Bank
Note company the plates from which
the Mississippi warrants, now in dis
pute, were printed. The plates were
sent to this city by the Western Bank
Note company of Chicago, who did
the work for the st. Louis company
The warrants, as printed from these
plates, which were detaced when the
issue was completed, are of the de-
nominations OF SIS, $40 and 500. MA
Murphy said today that the warrants
would easily be mistaken for currency
notes. 1t has the peculiar green color
which is characteristic OF currency
notes, and had the familiar scroll
work, and the denomination was in

San Marcos Chautauqua.

Special to The Statesman.
BAN MARCOS, July 2O.-Hoh. II. W.
J. Ham, the Georgia orator and hui
morist, Iectured Wednesday morning
at the Chautauqua tabernacle TO a
very large audience which was de-
lighted to the uttermost. Indeed, it
is said that of the many brilliant de.
liverances from this platform during
ten summers, few have equslled and
none surpassed that of Mr. Ham.
His subject was The Snolligoster In
politics. This genius he described as
the man in politics in search of a job;
as a demagogue whose motto is rule or
ruin; pessimist; an adventurer and
growler. The lecture was at times
eloquent and grave, at others it broke
into rich native humor. Ham is q
success. He was on the platform at
the assembly again tonighG and will
be Saturday morning at ii O'Clock,
Today was Farmers Day" w. A
Shaw was the orator of the day. The
attendance at the assembly is good
An immense crowd is expected from
far and near to hear the last lecture
of Mr.. Ham on Saturday morning.

A Very Successful Meeting Just Held at
Georgetown.
Special to The Statesman;
GEORGETOWN, Tex, July ,20.-Our
little city has been full of farmers yes
terday and today, who are attending
the Farmers institute. Hon. J. H.
Faubion, the president, called the
meeting to order, after which an adj
dress of welcome was delivered by
Mayor F. W. Carothers, Many
talks have been made by
the members, which were full of the
wisdom Of experience and were heard
with evident interest by all present.
Professor Clinton of the Agricultural
and Mechanical college at Bryant has
made several talks on farming topics
that were interesting and instructive,
The meeting is held in the city hall,
one half of which is fl led with exhibits
of the products of farm, garden and
orchard. For variety and quail
ity of the products, this
exhibition would compare favorably
with any ever held in the state. The
institu e is constantly growing in,
favor, and the farmers take great
pride in preparing for the annual ses~
sion. A stock show will be held Ia.
! October. Georgetown business men
have prepared list of premiums to
be awarded for best exhibits. The in
stitute closed this evening.

cred the resolutions submitted to US
! We recommend the adoption OF the
following as a substitute therefor:
RESOLVED, First-That we heartily
endorse the course of our distinguish
| ed representative in congress, Joseph
| D. Savers. We recommend him TO all
people OF this district.
Second-That we reaffirm our adj
herence to the principles of Democ.
racy as set forth in the national
Democratic platform of 1892, and
heartily endorse the efforts OF DEM
ocratic congress and president to seN
cure good government in conformity
with it's terms.
Judge Garwood of Bastrop submit
ted some resolutions indorsing Cleve-
land to he committee on resolutions,
which never saw the light of day
again. These resolutions, the judge
stated, had been adopted Oy the con
vention down at Bastrop and he hoped
this convention would do likewise
The committee evidently did not like
the resolution, for it was never heard
from any more after they got hold OF
it. Another resolution that was
showed under was offered by Mr.. w.
B. Garrett of BRENNAN and read as
follows:
Whereas, We deem it of great i'm
portance 10 the state to have the
BraZos river made pavigable as soon
as possible, and
Whereas, The pending river and
harbor bill carries with it an appro-
priation for permanent survey be-
tween Richmond and Waco, which
said survey is within the discretion of
the secretary of war; therefore
Resolved, That the secretary of
war be and he is hereby requested to
cause such survey to be made as soon
as the river and harbOr bill becomes a
law.
Second-That we ask our represen-
tative in congress, the Hon. Joseph
d. Sayers, to present the request to
the secretary of war.
AS soon as the resolutions commit
tees report had been read Mr.. Bats
moved its adoption. Mr.. William
Brown arose with silver and anti
Cleveland amendment presumable,
but Mr.. Bats insisted on the previous
question, and it carried, while Mr..
Brown still waved his amendment in
the breeze.
The convention then stood ad-
ourned sine die.

HONEST Joe Sayers was yesterday
unanimously renomiDated 10 COLI
gress from this district. In this &C.
ton the convention honored Itself
more than it did Joe Sayers. he Is a
man wider and bigger than his diS'
trict, he is man of supreme import
ance to the national Democracy. were
it not that Joe Sayers represents the
Ninth congressional district, the loss
of that district would be- of little mo-
ment to national Democracy; but as
it's the victory of Joe Sayers must be
made more sweeping and conclusive
this fall than ever before. And IL Will
