We can't afford to tax the farmers
any more until they. are out of debt.
Henry Dryer, sr.:-"I wish l
had seen you before last weeks pa
per came out. | would like to have
had my name down with the others
who were opposed to that new court
house. As it is, you can say that
l say all that they did and great
deal nore. We farmers don't want
it, and those people over there at
Hallettsville cant force it on u.s."
Anton Barkmqnn:-'I consider
the court house we have good
enough for all purposes. am not
in favor Of building new one"
Thomas Culpepper:-"If cotton
we're ten cents Il pound and the
farmers we're out of debt, then We
could talk about building new
court house. AS it is, 1t is out Of
the question"
By request OF several citizens
here. we state that Z. F. Wolters
states that he was misrepresonted
in last weeks Herald He is UNI
compromsingly opposed to the
court house scheme, but was made
last week to speak in favor of it.
Another gentleman said" About
the next thing we hear of will be
that they have had an architect to
pronounce the old court house un-
safe. That's the way they worked
it in Fayette county, and when
they came to tear the old building
down they had to blast the walls to
pieces with dynamite. The fact
is, we people will see that every
candidate who favors new court
house viii be turned down this
fall. l don't care how good an Of

and l would hate for us to loose
him, but if he is on the wrong side
he goes up Salt River We won't
have that new court house and
that's all there is about it.
VIM. Dickson:-"We don't want
new court house, The one we
have will answer every purpose for
years to come.
John Harwood-"The old one is
good enough for me. have served
, on jury duty often and am con-
tented to do it again in the old
court house they are talking so
p much about"
Saturday the writer interviewed
!, a number Of Moulton's prominent
/ business men on the subject and
} found them opposed to it to man.
DR.. Lancaster had just returned
! from Austin and we did not have
time to obtain an expression from
him, but on d former occasion he
expressed himself as strongly
against it. Coming from such a
source such an opinion will carry
great weight and next week we
hope to publish letter from the
Doctor on the subject. The Doctor
would represent Lavaca county in
the legislut re with honor and
credit, if he could spare the time
from his extensive practice. Other
prominent citizens of Moultor
spoke as follows:
A. M.Kotzebue-"I think we had
e better wait. Let us get the county
l. ont of debt first"
t. Henry Krause--'I am not in
0 favor of it now. Let us wait few

THE REjI SUFFERERS.

The strOnghOlds of the evil powers which have
been in the asccndency in this town for many
years are In the dwelling places Of the poorer
classes Movements for municipal reform have
generally encountered hostility on the ground
that they were being started by men Of aristo
cratic tendencies. The dense populations OF the
tenemcnthouses have rallied year in and year
out In response TO the bosses cry that they
stood for popular rights as against the rule Of
the wealthy This cry has been effective In
securing their aid and has blinded them to the
fact that their votes have been turned against
themselves.
It s not the rich who suffer most from bad
government 1t is not the educated people who
are the victims Of blackmang officials, un-
Just judges, brutal policemen, Lad water, poor
pavements, inefficient building inspection and
high taxes The rich have means OF protecting
themselves to q greater or less degree against
these evils. When their streets are dirty they
can afford to pay to have them cleaned. When
they are Illegally oppressed they have the
knowledge OF what their rights really are and
can get lawyers TO defend them. They do not
live In houses the safety and sanitary condl-

SERVJI IND PTIGARTi.

More than human wisdom would be required
10 scan with understanding all the devious ma
nocuyrcs of Balkan politics. and TO know with
certainty all the hidden influences that are at
work therein. No one can positively declare
whether the revolutionary crises simultaneously
occurring In Scrvia and Bulgaria are related
TO each other or not, or whether they have
arisen from foreign intrigue or domestic dis
content. Each State Is suffering from Internal
Ills sufficient to provoke the most serious insur-
rectlon. Each, too. has more than once been
made the plaything Of the two great. greedy
Powers that overhang it. Russian and Austrian
gold have been freely used In both these States,
and seldom for their good.
Some salient features Of the crises indicate,
however an Intimate relationship between them.
The Servian coup d'Gtat came first. The cxiled
ex<ng Milan, defying law. returned TO Bel
grade aud practically snatched the sccptre from
the feeble hands Of young Alexander, the Tony
Lumpkin Of European monarchs. The Radicals
were turned out OF office and the Progresssts
put in their place In every possible manner
the Radicals have been antagonized and sup
pressed. their leaders imprisoned or banishcd,
and their policy reversed. The significance OF
this Is, that the Radicals are the pro-Russans,
friends of Austria. However 1t was brought
about, therefore. the coup detat was doubtless
dispeasng to the Car. Certainly 1t was an
extraordinary coincidence. If 1t was nothing
more, that upon the very heels OF this anti
Russian upheaval In Scrvla there should come
an equally emphatic pro-Russan crisis In Bul-
garia For that IL what the change OF Ministry
at Sofia Is. Whether impelled from within or
without, the fall Of NJ. Stambuloff Is n great
victory for Russia. and an unmistakable lndi-
cation that Russian policy and influences are
now to prevail In that principaty. Austria
gives Russia check In Serva, and Russia gives
Austria countcr-chcck in Bulgaria.
Perhaps the most curious and contradictory
thing about 1t all Is the cynical disregard that
Is shown for the will Of the people. In Servia,
for example, the vast majority of the people
are proItussian In sympathy, and utterly detest
the Obrenovltch dynasty. Yet that dynasty
rides roughshod over them. apd they are
forced away from the Russian alliance
which they love into an Austrian connection
which they dislike In Bulgaria, on the other

Complaint Is made that the graceful and pict-
uresque native costume OF Japan Is giving place
to a composite and not altogether becoming at
tire, In which among the men the Occidental
chmney-pot hat and swallowtail coat appear
with depressing frequency; while the ladies' are
adventuring upon the like experiments with lin
gerie passcmcnterie, tailor made gowns and high
hcelcd boots.
II is impossible to say how far these innova-
tions may go or to what extent they may inili-
ence the morals, manners and social usages OF
that polite and interesting people. The chimney

that the japanese are to take on progressive
