THAT RIsMARcK LETTER.

The Bismarck letter is still
the subject of discussion. The
tremendous influence which this
now famous epistle had when
quoted by its recipient, Gov.
Culberson, and by Hon. w. j.
Bryan, has caused the enemies
of democracy TO resort to the
dishonest trick Of publishing
an alleged copy of the letter,
from the most important para
graph, favoring bi-metallism,
was omitted. This caused
Prof. A. D. White to write an
insulting open letter to Gov.
Culberson In which be applied
various approbrious epithets to
the latter, and openly charged
either the governor or. the
translator of the letter with the
dishonesty-the "glariug, Grim
iDal expedient"-of forging
the said paragraph. The trans
lator, Prof. Jacob Bickler, is
too well known in Texas, being
one Of the states most eminent
educators, for the people OF
this state to believe the charge
of forgery made by Prof. White
against him. Neither can the
people of Texas in any manner
endorse the slurs cast upon
Con. Culberson by the gentle,
man who has attained promi
neuce as the president Of Cor

very quickly touching living subjects

instructive and satisfactory work. 1t
is to cover all departments of knowl-
edge The first volume, bound in raw
cloth, covering from Abbas 10 Boyseen
is out The price is 30 cents. Doubt
less this will be the most popular cy-
clopedia ever issued, as it will be the
cheapest They deal with such items
as one would naturally for in a first
class cyclopedia were it up-to-date-
which no cyclopedia is, or possibly can
be, because of its magnitude and cost
The average reader probably inquiries
more about things touching the past
three years than concerning the proceed
ing three centuries. Topics are treated
in alphabetical order. and as often as
the alphabet is covered a new series
will begin and the same course re-
sumed. Each bound volume contains
an appendix, bringing all important
matters preceding up close to the date
of publication. Anyone may have
specimen pages free by applying TO the
