A PROLIFIC FIELD.
Professor Garner, the Student of Monkey
Habits, in Houston.

Houston. Tex. July 19.-(Special.) y
Among the visitors now sOjourning i'll
Houston is one of the most unique and
interesting characters of the present day.
1t is none other than Professor Garner
of monkey language fame. Professor
Garner came to Houston several days
ago in the interest of great fencing con-
Germ in which he is interested. and few,
even of those who have met him, thought
of connecting him with the man whose
study of the language of animals has
been commented upon by press and pub
lie all over the world. Some of those
with whom he has come in contact. how
ever, have become aware that he is
identical with the Professor Garner of
whom they have read, and have enjoyed
hearing from his lips interesting ac-
counts of incidents connected with his
recent visit to Africa and the recital of
things that were revealed to him by his
research among the hairy and detailed,
though almost human. inhab itants of the
lungles and forests of that PARKWAY land.
Professor Garner is firm in the convic-
ton that monkeys have Il language of
their own, by which they can commune
cate, one with the other. and that with
proper study it could be fathomed and
understood by human beings

THE SENTINELS ON THE OLD
WATCH TOWERS OF DE
NnCRAcy

We affirm. with all the most binding
obligations of an oath upon the Holy
Evange, which we believe and respect
with the deepest emotions of mind and
soul, that in the course taken by the edi-
torial writer's and editors of The States
man on the money question, which has
disrupted the Democratic party, that we
have been animated alone by the belief
that we entertain that the adoption of the
free coinage of silver at the ratio of 1G
to 1 would justly precipitate a panic that
would result in more financial distress
than this country has ever experienced at
any period of its existence. We believe
it would operate first, detrimentally to the
laboring classes, and go up as "a blight
blast, Il mildew, CURSE" through all
occupations and business circles of the
people of this country, from which the peO-
pie would not recover for fifty years.
We did not begin the study of this Ques-
ton with any prejudice and we have eX-
amined with all the analytical ability OBJ
tanned by hard and constant training every
argument worthy of the name in behalf
of free silver coinage at that ratio, and
we have failed to discover any logical
force in any of them, while at every step
we have seen delusion and failure and
dctriment to the good of the people of the
United States If to gather money into
the safe of The Statesman had animated
us it must be obvious our best policy
would have been to float with the tide
taken by the party to which we were in
dividually attached. but we have braved
that tide and made vast sacrifice for
what we believed ut least was the truth.
We would die pauper and fill pau
pers grave rather than try to miSead one
man into Il political or any other heresy,
so that if The Statesman is III error it
must be admitted it is an error of the head
and not of the heart.
Considering that phase of the subject
we have looked abroad and found the very
ablest Democrats in this country on the
same line of thought, agreeing with us on
this subject in which The Statesman was
the pioneer. We have gone further, we
have looked for the newspapers that we
know have been the best expressions of
Democratic thought, and we find we agree
with them We copy from the Chicago
Chronicle a list Of newspapers with The
Austin Statesman at the head of the list
that are of one voice in declaring that the

RHODES AND THE RAID

Cape Town, July 19.-The select com.
mittee of the house assembly of Cape
Colony appointed to inquire into the cir
cumstances of the Jameson raid. made
report to the effect that Cecil Rhodes
was fully acquainted with the prepare
tions for the raid. The report also
blames DR.. Jameson and others who as
sisted in the advance on Johannesburg.
The report also finds that Alfred Bell, di-
rector of the South Africa company, DR..
Jameson. the administrator of the COM
,pany in Rhodesia, and DR.. Rutherford
Harris. secretary for the company at
Cape Town, We're active promoters of the
raid. 1t also finds that Dr. Jameson per-
sonally obtained from Johannesburg a let
ter of instruction for his raiders to come
fully month before the fight

The Rev. Andrews, Populist candidate
for congress in this district, in his speech
at Georgetown said he had "a big joke on
the reporter of The Statesman" who said
he was not up in grammar and couldn't
make speech. He informed his audi
ence, so says the Georgetown Democrat,
that "he had made a special study of
grammar, and that his English was per-
feet" The joke on Andrews was perpe-
trated by the Georgetown Democrat,
which paper stated it would publish "a
series of articles on live subjects by prom
inent men," scheduling Mr.. Andrews, in
merry jest. with paper on How to Stay
On Platform but he took it in earnest
and sent the Democrat three-column
article on the subject jestingly assigned
him. About the biggest joke on him,
however, is running such a man for con-
grcss against Joe Savers whose speciality
in congress is so valuable to the whole
country he that he is voted for by both
political parties.

should be a graduated land tax: that every
enterprise of public utility which requires

of all foreign immigration which directly

Believing that the mal-administration

about degree of financial and industrial
distress greater than has ever been known
in the history of the republic prior to 1873,
