worth's Panacea.

In the year 1884 great commercial dis.
trcss was experienced throughout France,
and the late NJ. Worth was called before u
parliamentary committee instituted To in
quire into the causes and asked for his
theory and his remedy. Tho salaries of tho
president Of the republic and the ministers,
said the great man milliner, ought to be
considerably raised, because balls cost
much more than dinners, and official poo,
Pile ought to be paid salaries handsome
enough to enable them to give great
many balls NJ. Grevy, said Worth, in dis.
gust, only gave two balls year, and the
crush was SO great that ladies elected To
wear their old dresses rather than buy Few
ones, which would most assuredly be
spoiled in the crowd. Pay higher salaries,
give more halls and ask fewer guests to
each function---this was Worth's remedy.
The ladies, relieved of the fear of u crush,
would invest in new dresses, money would
circulate, trade would revive, and all
would go as merrily as marriage bells.

Siberian Prisons.

Mr.. Harry de Windt, who has travelled
extensively in Siberia, in lecturing recent
ly on The Prisons of Siberia" in London,
said that there are about 23o prisons In
that country, two-thirds of which are rest
ing places along the great post road to tho
Pacific. To these about 1900 persons
year have been sent from Russia during
the last 10 years. The silver mines OF
Ncrtchinsk, near the Chinese frontier, are
the only oneswherc convicts are employed.
The prisons there are clean and substan-
TALLY built; the food and clothing good
and sufficient. The condition of the min
ers is substantially the same as that OF
English miners, except that they do les
work.

SYMPATHY FOR CUBA.
Resolutions adopted by the Young Mems
Congress of Philadelphia.

Philadelphia, Nov. "A meeting I'M
der the auspices of the Young Mems con-
gress of Philadelphia was held at the
academy of music tonight at which strong
resolutions were adopted urging upon
Spain to give Cuba the right to govern
itself.
The resolutions were as follows:
Whereas, The people of the United
States are deeply interested in the ire
pressible conflict going on in the island
of Cuba, our nearest neighbor, between
the foreigners who rule the land and the
native population, who should own and
control it; and
Whereas, 1t is cowardly, selfish. inhu-
man for us, as a people, while in the full
enjoyment of life, liberty and the pursuit
of happiness to stand silently by while
another nation so directly under our eye
is struggling in want, in pain and in blood
for the blessings of a liberty which should
be the common heritage of mankind;
therefore, be it
Resolved, first, That we still hope that
the great nation of Spain, when awaken
ed by the waste of her revenues and the
increase of the death rate among her sol
diers in Cuba to desist from such an out
lay of life and treasure to retain an is
land which is so improbable to her, and
that she will give to the Cubans Il free
lease that they may govern themselves
as an Independent State.
Second, That this great assembly of
citizens of Philadelphia, representing as
we fully believe the feelings of the entire
city, urge upon our government at Wash
ington that it use every honorable means
to express to the government of Spain
our utter disapproval of the war for the
subsection of Cuba, and our open sympa-
thy with the native Cubans in their heroic
attempts to secure their freedom.
Third, That while we love peace and
deprecate any rash attempts to rescind
our treaties with Spain as a friendly ma
ton, and especially discountenance any
ill-considered action which would involve
the United States in war with Spain,
yet we feel that there are some things
worse than war, and that when our eff
forts at a peaceful settlement of the ques-
ton are exhausted, we, as great liberty
loving people, will not shrink from the
responsibility, and that the spirit of the
Monroe doctrine, protecting the people of
this continent from the oppression of for
eign invaders, be supported at any eX-
penSe by our army and navy.
Fourth That these resolutions be for
warded to the president of the United
States.
The principal speakers were the Rev.
Russell H. Conwell and Col. A. X. Nc
Clure. During his remarks Mr.. Conwell
said:
SIT is our duty to give the Cubans the
liberty we enjoy, and it is our place as a
nation to suggest that she be permitted
to take care of herself.
The Austin weekly statesman. (Austin, Tex.) 1883-1898, 1895-11-07
THE COTTON MILL

A large cooperative cotton mill has
been organized at Atlanta, Georgia, to
be known as the Piedmont Cotton Mill
company. Hon. X. U. Hardeman, State
treasurer, is president. An exchange
says:
"The authorized capital of the compa-
ny is to be 100000, consisting of 2O00
shares of 500 each, payable 50 per share
monthly until paid. The company has is
sued the prospectus in which it treats
extensively of the many advantages Of
fered to the new cotton mills in the South
in location, labor, freight rates and local
inducements.
"On the title page of the prospectus the
following suggestive figures are offered,
and reflection ON the condition thus pre-
scented is enough to give assurance that
any well-regulated company establishing
cotton mill in the South will have easy
sailing and fair promise of good re-
turns. The prospectus says:
Throughout the civilized world there
are 100000 cotton spindles in opera
ton. OF this number the South has on
ly 100000, or little over per cent
yet the South produces GO per cent of the
worlds supply of cotton. If the SOuth's
number of spindles were in proportion to
her cotton we would have over 55,000,-
900 instead of 100000 or nearly 1000
per cent more than at present. The
profits made by Southern cotton mills are
enormous; for example the Graniteville
which started 26 years ago on a capital
of 100000 has since paid to its stock
holders $1,560000, and has increased its
capital stock to 100000, besides accu-
mulating surplus Of $6TS,000.'"
The above figures should encourage
our people and infusc new life and en-
ergy into our cotton mill enterprise. Aus
tin has a big advantage over Atlanta in
power, and if cotton mill is a good in
vcstment for Atlanta certainly it will
be for Austin. Build the mill.

Every bank in the city has agreed to
close this afternoon and tomorrow,
Thursday, at 1 o'clock so that their en-
ployes may have an outing and go to see
the regatta. With all the banks closed
at l o'clock can not all our merchants
afford to close at least at o'clock and
give the whole city holiday for these two
afternoons? We urge this matter on the
attention of our merchants. Surely you
can afford to give your clerks this holt
day. 1t will do them all good and they
will fully appreciate your kindness. Be
sides do you not owe at least this much
courtesy to the regatta which is so adj
vertising your town? Close up at 2, gen
tlemen, today and tomorrow and help out
the regatta, so that it shall be the big
gest thing of the kind Austin has ever
given.

What a terribly expensive thing the
civil war was, we are only beginning
to realize as the years roll by and con-
slant additions are made to the pension
roll. Why this roll should continue to
be increased so rapidly it is hard for the
ordinary mind to understand. But as
there is limit to all things we suppose
there will even come time when there
will be no pension roll for the partici-
pants in that war and their survivors.
When such time does come, how we
will begin to reduce our National debt!
We would be in very short time the
only nation on earth that did not owe
a dollar What record that would be
for your Uncle Sam.
