THE SANGUILLY RUMOR.
Members of the Spanish Legation
Give the story No CreLence.

Washington. Dec. 14.-Ihe Spanish le-
cation here has absolutely no information
respecting the semi-official announcement
coming from Havana to the effect that
Gen Julio Sanguilly has rendered his
services to the Spanish cause. 1t is stated
that no papers or documents Of any kind
bearing on the matter have passed through
the legation and although the officials do
not go beyond this statement, there. is
reason to believe that the story obtains
no crcdence.
Senior Manuel Rafael Argulo. one of the
leaders of the Cuban colony in New York,
was in Washington yesterday and spent
some time in conference with persons ia
this city respecting the outlook in Cuba.
He is conducting newspaper in New
York in the interest of autonomist policies.
This has been printed in Spanish, but it
has been arranged to issue an English edi-
ton to meet the demand for n newspaper
edited by Cubans, that shall set out the
autonomist policies.

THE RESULTS OF ADVERTISING.

There has been great change in news
paper advertisements. Not long since
the advertisement columns of newspapers
were monotonous and uninstructivc
Now il is very different. The advcr.
Using columns of up-to-datc, live rcws-
papers are now brilliant with the genius
of advertisers. and as Cowper says, they
arc "a map of busy life, its fluctuations
and its vast concerns"
The live business man is not content
with dull statement of what he has
for sale, but he prides himself on putting
his advertisements in an attractive and
instructive form. 1t is lesson very I'M
portant to purchasers to sean closely the
advertisements in the newspapers. by
careful perusal of advertisements in
the local paper the houscholders reduce
the cost of annual purchases at least ono
third. and the business man who intends
to succeed and not drag along agai.s
himself of his knowledge of the fact
that attractive advertisements are read
by the public and he keeps his local paper
alive with his advertisements.
The business push and energetic COM
hot th.,t

must read them daily to take advantage
of the daily offers made to cconomizc

The lady who makes the purchases in

gains offered daily which has reduced
the family expenses just one third. Co.
incident with this. one of our most on
terprising merchants informs us that, as
ccrtaining this habit, he has daily of
fered bargains in The Statesman ard
that his business has increased fourfold
and that although he sells at as narrow a
profit as he can afford, his profits have

Statesman. and it is very profitable to

The Houston Post makes good point
against postal savings banks by saying
it would contract the currency. The
Statesman some weeks since pointed out
that the government, if it did not go into
the regular local banking business could
invest the funds deposited in saving pcs
tai banks only in government bonds
which would divert the amount dcpNs-
tied from the local currents of trade,
where it was most needed.

81 notice that Maj. Sayers, in his in
terview announcing his candidacy for
governor, suggests the propriety of in
augurating manufacturing interests in
the state, but he has suggested no line of
policy for the accomplishment of that
end.
"The plan / have suggested for the
state to take this matter in hand can he
brought about only through the dom
inant, j. e., the democratic party, rs they
have control of the state government.
II would be willing to act with any
party that would carry out these policies
as the interests of the people and the
state are to me paramount to every other
consideration. | believe these plans, car.
ried to cOnsummation, would result in n
prosperous and happy people, and put
$40 in circulation where we have 81 to
day"

We have heard quite a number of pco-
pie declare that they intend to turn over
new leaves for next year IN the list of
January. Would it not be good plan
to begin turning them over now. and
perhaps by the LIST of January they may
be able to catch up with the procession :?
Some Of them who propose thorough
reform will find them as numerous as
the leaves in Naldmb:osa, and it might
be we'll to take time ny he forclock.

After all the talk, Miss Bradley, the
daughter of the governor of Kentucky,
will christcn the gunboat Kentucky.
There will be. however. an innovation on
the custom of christening with cham
payne. Miss Bradley will break bottle
of 40-year-old Bourbon whisky on the
PROV of the maiden gunboat. 1t would
make ship named Kentucky sick 70

whisky is its natural drink. Although
it may be accounted plebean, it is the

4 TRIPLE LYNCHING.
Three Negroes Strung Up in Louisi-
ana for Murder and Robbery.

New Orleans. Dec 14.-Only one of
the two men taken from the train at
White Castle yesterday was lynched. The
pair were taken to st. Gabriel, the scene
of the Babin murder, and there Joe
Thomas, one of the negroes, made a con-
fcssion of his own guilt, also duplicating
two black brothers, Joe and Charles
Alexander. The latter were captured in
a Ecgbboring sugar plantation, and were
forced spectators to the execution of
Thomas on the gallery of the store they
had robbed The AleXanders were then
tried. and confessed, also telling of an
other murder in the same store which
was planned for January. At / o'clock
this morning the Alexanders were also
hanged in the front of the store.
There were four other suspects in the
hands of the mob, and these were ac-

JUDGE GLAsscocK's SOLUTION
OF Present DeDression-AdvOca
Factories, and Urges the state
Government Take the
Jnftiotivp

initiative.
Georgetown, Tex, Dec. 13.-(Special)-
Judge G. w. Glasscock's strong advoca-
cy of factories for the south as a solu-
ton of present unfavorable conditions, as
presented in his speech before the Cotton
Growers Union here on Saturday, has
been the subject of very favorable COM
| mcnt.
Judge Glasscock represented this dis
trict in the state senate for eight years.
and last year was the populist candidate
for judge of the Third supreme judicial
district
He informs The Statesman correspond
ent that he is being solicited to become
| the party's candidate for governor next
year, but that it is not his intention to
again take an active part in politics.
In his speech to the farmers on Satur-
day. he said, in subtance:
Il am not surprised to see the depress-
ed conditions that exist today. | antici-
pated as much twelve or fifteen years ago
| believe one of the remedies for the low
price of cotton is the establishment of
factories over the south for the purpose
of converting our cotton and wool into
fabrics.
Having lived in Texas all my life, and
being Il close observer of men and con-
ditions, | do not believe that the people
will invest their money in this way to
great enough extent to make it profitable.
THE only feasible plan, then, is for the
state to engage in this enterprise. In
1885, when a member of the Texas SEN
ate, offered bill for the state to build
third branch of the state peniteDtiary
on some water power in the state, of
sufficient capacity to run cotton and wool
en- factories. and for the state to utilize
its convict labor in these factories in con-
motion with cunh Ia hor n yon1l
insure its success. The bill was defeat
ed, and another of similar character,
which / offered in 1891, l never got out
of the committee room.
THE state could pay one or two cents
more for cotton and wool than the pres
ent buyers pay for the New England fac
tories, because the freight rates on raw
material to the factories and return in
fabrics would amount to that much. AS
under this system the state would control
its labor there would be no strikes, and
the state could afford to pay small COM
pensation to expert convict labor, which
could go to their families.
Our towns and cities would be built
up, making good markets for all produce
of the home farmer. At two cents per
pound this plan would make q saving at
home of about $40 per bale, and put
more money in circulation than now OBJ
