The figures show difference In stor-
age capacity of $4,000 bushels, probably
a conservative estimate, as 1t is report
ed that the elevator people have them
selvs frequntly stated that the several
houses could store 10000 bushels. TAX
Ing the figures $4,000 bushels, however,
that means forty-five car loads of grain
based on an average Of 800 bushels to
the car. Carrying it still further, it
means 900 wagon loads of wheat, esti-
mating sixty bushels as the load hauled
by two horses.
The following statement was issued
by the board of trade and published on
Dec. 10 in the Sheaf. 1t clearly sets
forth the position taken and maintained
by the board of trade:
An erroneous report is being circulated
among the farmers to the effect that the
Warren board of trade has compromised
with the elevators and backed down from
its original position. There is truth in
this whatever. The only thing the board

sToCKMEN's CONVENTION.
Opening Day of the Meeting at San An
tonio-Legislatio Endorsed.

San Antonio, Jan. 14.-(Special.) 1.-The
fourth annual convention of the Texas
Livestock association convened TINS
morning. There were about 5OO mem
beers present. President Pryor, i'll his
annual address, said there was shortage
in the supply of Texas cattle of about
200 900 head, whose value, however, eX-
ceeded that of last year. lie expresses
the opinion that Texas has no reason to
fear competition from the importation OF
Mexican cattle or from foreign competl-
ton of any kind. g,
A resolution was unanimously adopted
strongly condemning the bill introduced
in congress to legalze the collection OF
taxes on Texas cattle while grazing in the
Indian Territory. A legislative commit
tee was appointed with special instruc-
tons to use all available means to defeat
the proposed bill.
The Vest bill to add a bureau to the
department of agriculture for informa-
ton to stockmen was endorsed and IeXas
members were urged to support it.
The question Of freight charges was
only discussed today, but the tenor of
the discussion indicates that a commit
tee will be appointed to handle the whole
of the Texas product and to ship them
over the line making the best bid. All
papers read today declared that Texas
stock is in the best possible condition,
though the supply is below normal.

DIR. Storm objects to the consolidation
of the cities contiguous to New York City
into the greater New York" He is
afraid the corrupt administration of the
city of New York will be felt also by
Brooklyn in the event of such consolida-
ton. That is very much like the pot
calling the kettle black. The election of
Seth Low by the reform elements of
Brooklyn is only recent thing and the
city of New York has kept pace with that
reform movement in Brooklyn by the
election of Mayor Strong. For half Il
century New York City and Brooklyn
have been working alike for municipal re-
form, and one is not behind the other.
Outsiders take very little interest in the
matter, only there would be n National
pride in this country having such city
as "The Greater New York" DR..
Storm has forgotten the parable of the
leaven in the meal. If his idea of the
purity of the municipal government of
Brooklyn is correct, it might be the leaven
that would leaven the whole lump.

THE RED CRESCENT.

The sultan has announced that he VIII
not hermit contributions to the distressed
Armenians to be made by the Red Cross
society. That is quite natural. The
religion of Mohammedanism is not repre-
scented by the cross but by the crescent.
II was never Miss Barton's intention to
operate in Turkey under the auspices OF
the Red Cross, but under the auspices OF
the "Red Crescent"
The Red Crescent and the Red Cross
are two organizations, but with the same
purposes-the one, the Red Cross, to
operate in Christian countries, ana the
otber. the Red Crescent, to operate IN
the Ottoman empire. 1t would nave
been foolish for Miss Barton to attempt
To relieve the Christians of Armenia
under the flag Of the Red Cross ana she
never entertained such an idea, but 1t IL
evident that the sultan has kept himself
nortially informed on this subject ana
he has inferred that the sacred soil OF
Islam would be polluted by the charities
Of the Cross.
Miss Barton will proceed to Constan-
tinople and put herself under the control
of the Red Crescent, which is endorsed
by the Porte. Therefore, those who pro-
pose to contribute to this cause need not
be deferred by the pronunciamento OF
the sultan.
1t is certainly humiliating to christen-
dom to have the distribution of its aid
to its fellow Christians controlled by the
sultan, who is the cause Of their distress,
but this is matter that will not permit
the Christian Nations to stand upon II
point of etiquette These Armenian
Christians are starving and must be re-
lieved without any hesitation as to the
manner Of their relief.

1t is said that the South Americans
show their Indian blood by fighting be-
hind trees and rocks. When retreating
they slip from tree to tree and from rock
to rock, the pursuing columns resorting
to the same tactics. This makes them
hard soldiers to whip. In fact, they are
avcrse TO massing in solid lines, but
move on the enemy with the wary pru-
dencc Of the sharpshooters. This is the
way the rebels in Cuba have disheartened
the greatest Spanish commander and
discouraged splendidly equipped Span
ish army. If freedom and equality can
not be won in the open field like the
Americans won their independence then
the other manner of warfare is legiti-
mate.

DEMAGOGIC ENDEAVOR.

The Nashville American, on the finan-
cial issue, says: Great Britain has
paper money in abundance, but the
British government keeps no gold re-
serve that can be drawn out with paper
bills. France, in addition to its paper
currency, carries large amount of legal
tender silver at parity with gold,
coined at ratio of 15.5 to |. but such a
thing as n gold reserve like that we
have in America is found necessary.
That is because neither the Bank of
England nor the Bank of France that
issue paper money is part of the govern
ment. and the banks redeem their own
paper.
"There is a demagogue endeavor in
this country just now TO make it appear
that the difficulty in keeping the gold
reserve up to S100,000.000 comes solely
of the struggle to maintain the gold stan
dard If this were true it would argue
that the United States is the only coun-
try that has that kind of trouble. That
would be the most absurd and erroneous
conclusion, because all Europe is on a
gold basis, and Great Britain. the most
prosperous country in the world-a coun-
try of light taxes and broad commerce: a
country whose pound sterling is the
synonym of sound money the world over
has had no money but gold for nearly
Il century. and there is large gold sur
plus in the British treasury that gold
raiders can no more reach than they
could that of the tabled sands of Pac-
tolus.
"The necessity of maintaining treas
ury gold reserve should be abolished
The government should go out of the
banking business. The volume of money
would not be thereby reduced. The re-

While England is settling with Ger
many and other powers in alliance with
Germany. and while the Venezuelan mat
ter is in allegiance, we might pay more
attention than we have been doing to
Cuba. 1t is necessary to our commerce
and would be naval advantage for us
to be on the best possible terms with the
republic of Cuba, if there is to be such
n republic. We will have to act prompt
" il we act ut all. If we do not, the
Cubans will win their independence with
out any thanks or obligations to us. 1t
is true that the possession of some sea-
port town by revolutionary provisional
government is an international condition
of the acknowledgement of such revolu-
tionists as belligercnts, but circumstances
alter cases. Suppose the country in
question had no seaport town, then that
condition precedent would be obviated.
AS it is the rebels occupy all of Cuba
but one seaport town, Havana, al

government anywhere. We think the
Cubans rebels have demonstrated their
right to be recognized as belligerents
even if their provisional government is
in the saddle.

THE INDUSTRIOUS SILVER BILL.

THE INDUSTRIOUS SILVER BILL
The bill which the senate finance COM
mittee has voted to substitute for the
house bond bill provides for unlimited
coinage of dollars of 412 ~ grains of
standard silver for the benefit of depOs-
itors of silver bullion. 1t is radically
different from the bill recently introduced
by Senator Jones of Arkansas. The lat
ter recognized gold as the standard, and
provided for turning into the treasury the
silver coin representing the difference be-
tween the New York price of the silver
bullion at the time of its deposit and its
coinage value. The committees bill does
not recognize gold as the standard, but
proposes to return to the depositor of sill
yer bullion all the coin made from it.
If this should become law we would
he on the silver basis at once. If anyone
could take to the mint $500 worth of sill
yer bullion and receive in exchange for
it 1000 silver dollars just as good by law
for paying debts as $1,000 in gold, silver
would become the money Of coin pay
ments as Il matter of course, and gold
would go to premium equal to the differ
ence between its value as bullion and the
value of silver dollars as bullion. Gold
and its representatives as the dearer
lloilef NOulu uiSuppcuI llOul ClICuldllOll,
and silver and its representatives alone
would remain. in accordance with Gresh-
ans principle. Everybody having any
money coming to him would get only
about half his just dues. Senator's sal
aries would be reduced just about one
half in value. But we may be sure that
the silver senators, if they have money
coming to them from any other source
have taken good care to have the con-
tracts made expressly payable in gold.
The bill also provides for coming the
difference between the cost of the bullion
now in the treasury purchased with Sher-
man notes and it's coinage value-a mat
ter of some $50,00O.O0O And to make
this Immediately available for payment of
government expenses, the secretary of
the treasury is directed to issue certif-
Gates against the coins before they are
made.
The final provision of this legislative
monstrosity is that the greenbacks and
Sherman notes shall be redeemed in gold
or silver coins, not at the option of the
holder, "but exclusively at he option of
the government" and when redeemed
they shall be reissued as provided by the
fool act of 1873.
Fortunately there is no reason to fear
that this legislative project of wholesale
financial and commercial wrecking will
become a law. Unfortunately the proof
that the American senate is capable of
such monstrOus folly and iniquity can do
considerable damage to the public credit
at critical time.-Chicago Chronicle.

President Crespo of Venezuela has evil
IDENTIFY lost his head since he found that
Great Britain would be restrained from
imposing on his republic by the Interior
cnce of the United States. He wants
TO be dictator and asks the Venezuelan
congress to confer despotic power upon
him by putting the lives of alleged rev.
olutionists in his hands absolutely. The
revolutionary movements that are arous-
ing President Crespo's fears are in all
probability imaginary. Venezuela has
been in a chronic state of revolution for
many years and any politician in power
there would be satisfied with very little
proof that his former political rivals were
Matching another revolution. Certainly
in the present patriotic enthusiasm in Ven
ezuela against foreign foe, any set of
men would be foolish to attempt to or
ganize revolution. There is no fuel
to fire it, as all is in use in supplying the
patriotic flames that are blazing from
one end of that country to another. Any
man or men who would attempt revoll-
ton in the present state of feeling would
be foohardy, indeed. TO grant such alb
solute power to the president of repub-
lie at any time would be unwise, but it
would be especially unwise when the
country has hardly emerged from a revo-
lutionary condition and is engaged most
absorbingly in considering an interna-
tional complication. The congress OF
Venezuela had better keep President
Crespo within his constitutional limits
until they get the English boundary line
question off their hands, at least. If
that is settled favorably, the glory to
Venezuela would be too great and general
for any of them to think of or plot rev.
Olution.

Adventurous publishers have invaded
very many capitals of States and induced
the legislatures to enact law requiring
the physiological effects of alcohol or
whisky to be taught in the public schools.
1t has been found that in the States
adopting this rs Il part of the curriculum
of the public schools and making it man
datory, the law has not compelled the
teachers to instruct the pupils in the bad
effects of the use of alcoholic spirits and
it is suspicioncd that the ultimate design
is to advertise in this way special brands
of malt and sprituous liquors. If such
an effort is made in Texas with such Il
purpose alone, it is to be hoped that
this warning against the lobbying for
such n law will be remembered and that
it will be effcctually squelchcd in its in

and fnIk-lore of the Cheyenne and Arap-

tbe Cheyennes and Arapahoe Indian
h ma ves look down upon their. women as

n,igin. The legend says that originally
all men were created with long, sleek,
comely tails. These tails were their de-
light. and they adorned them with paint,
heads and wampum. Then the world
was ot peace: dscord and wars were I'M

dian legends and some of the familiar IN
