D. j. Case, a drummer, came in
from the south yesterday and reg
istered at the Benefited, and soon
after another gentleman walked up
and placed his name down as D..
Case, and they both proved to be
brothers, and both drummers, and
met here without the knowledge of
each others movements. They held
a long confab and both parted this
morning on their several ways and
they may not meet again during

At last saloons are again being
run wide open on the Texas side.
AS the people of Bowie county ten
months ago voted whisky out for
the next two years, it does appear
to us to be an outrageous proceed
ing to see the "open saloon" before
the expiration of that time. But
we know nothing of the so.called
'new law" on the subject. Prohi-
bition has been worse than a farce
ever there, because of its non-en-
forcement.

To Distribute Appropriation Bills.

once more does the proposition to dis
tribute the appropriation bills make it's ap-
pearance. This time it emanates from SEN
ator Proctor of Vermont. OF course, it is
not expected that anything will be done
with the proposition during the present
session, but that it will be heard from dur
ing the coming winter is certainty. In
very many respects it is remarkable that
previous efforts to make equitable distribu-

senator MOrgnn's Fight for Cubn.

The attitude of Senator Morgan in the
matter of Cuba remains consistent, and
compeis entire respect and sympathy He
was one of the first to champion the cause
OF the insurgents. He saw The merit of
their cause and the wor.niness of their
aspirations at the very outset While they
were being denounced as an insignificant
Oand of ignorant marauders who deserved
only death. he insisted that they were
patriotic with high and good purpose
and entitled to recognition by this govern
ment- He has seen them grow in numbers
and influence until they are now able to
hold at bay one hundred ard fifty thousand
picked Spanish troops, under the command
of veteran general, and aided by war
ships and gunboats patrolli1g the coast
line all around the island. He has seen a
resolution pass both houses of Congress
Dy almost unanimous vote favoring the
according OF belligerent rights to the In
sursents, and he has read me cordial in

tatlVe newspaper OF prominence in the
United States And yet he has seen that
resolution ignored by the Executive. and
this government kept in line as an ally of
Spain to prevent If possible the establish
ment of Independence in Cuba:
Is there any wonder that Mr.. Morgan
should object to this? Could he do less
than to vigorously protest against it? Is
not his effort to have the wishes CO the
people, as opposed to those of the Execu-
tive, prevail in the business not only leg
