FLEEING FROM
THE PLAGUE
Situation at Bombay-City
Being Rapidly Deserted.

New York, Jan. IA sPe.
cial to the Herald from Bonn
bay says: The plague contin-
ues as bad as ever and there
is little prospect of its abatlng
for some time to come. The
official records are getting near
er the truth now, but the real
state of affairs is certainly
alarming. The panic has been
renewed and the exodus from
the city has commenced with a
vengeance. Indeed, it may
fairly be said that thousands OF
people are running away from
the plague as if someone were
pursuing them. Going to the
bunders the other day your
correspondent saw large crowd
of people running along the
road carrying bundles of their
belongings with them and
dragging their children behind
them. Some of them were
asked the reason of their haste,
and the answer was that they
were going off to their villages
down the coast to get away
from the plague and the author
tiles. But it was pointed out
there was plenty of time. Why
hurry? The steamers will not
start for hours. The answer
was returned that thousands
more were hurrying to the
same spot and they were
afraid of being left behind.
The scene at the bunders was
a remarkable one. The PEG
pie were huddled together like
SO many sheep. all clamoring
for tickets. The poor officials

-BRowNsvILLE. TEXAS
TUESDAY, JAN. 19, 1897.
WHAT TIE STOCKAEN
WANT.

1t Is to be hoped that the
effort being made to have the
Mckinley tariff on live stock
restored may not succeed, as
the remission of those duties
has done more than any other
thing, except the heaven
sent blessing Of moisture, to
lestore prosperity to the stock
and ranch owners of Texas.
Had it not been for the import
alton of Mexican cattle to re-
stock their pastures, which had
been almost entirely depleted
Of stock by drouth, there must
have ensued great scarcity OF
beef cattle and consequent uni
Versal high prices on this
prime food necessity, while the
greatest industry of Texas must
have continued to suffer through
lack OF means to keep it up.
The duty of SO per head i'm
posed by the Mckinley law
was simply prohibitive, and
afforded no revenue whatever,
while the present ad valorem
duty of 20 per cent has yielded
a greatly increased revenue,
while affordiBg stockmen an
opportunity to buy cheap cat
tie to fatten for the northern
markets. Taken all around, the
restoration of a prohibitive
tariff on cattle importations
will do much more harm than
good, for the cattle imported
from Mexico cannot compete
with Texas stock tn the north
ern markets, being unfit for
immediate consumption. IF
The HERALD is not mistaken,
the general sentiment of Fexas
sseekmeR is opposed to any in
crease in the tariff on cattle
imported from Mexico. There
is no need so far of protection
in that direction. What they
want is protection against the
tariff baroRs OF the north. If
We must have protection, let it
be in the way of a duty on
hides and wool, but not on
cattle.

SEA ISLAND COTTON.
How 1t shonld Be Cultivated,
Picked and Ginned.
To the Editor of The Post.

Buffalo. Texas, Jan. IA
note what Mr.. ]. P. Larnkin of

give my experience. l have
plenty of seed, good and pure.
l got the seed from Jackson
vile, Fla, at a cost to me of
S. per bushel of fifty pounds,
and have taken much pains to
keep them pure.
Medium grade land is best
for the cotton, as the richest
and strongest soils grow the
stalk too rank. Plant as you
do other cotton, say three or
three and one-half foot rows
and eighteen to twenty inches
l will plant from May I to
10, owing to the spring. Work
it fast, as it is a quick growth,
1t stands wet or dry weather
much better than common. In
the hot, dry weather of last
summer it is full bloom and
green while other cotton was
shedding and turning red. The
bolls are small and somewhat
troublesome to pick, costing IS
cents per 100 pounds. An
average year it will yield as
much or nearly as much per
acre as the common cotton and
sell in the markets for from IL
cents to II cents per pound,
owing to the care taken in
gathering same. 1t should be
ginned on the roller gin. The
price for ginning is SI.3o per
100 pounds in lint. This Gov

There being no gin here, l
ship to Houston to be ginned.
Another year there will be
enough planted here to justify
some gin man to put in a rol

any leading machinery dealers.

Women are the real heroes of the
