Topper, leader Of the opposition in the

sealing question, he said greater in.
dignity had never been perpetrated
than the seizure on Canadian sealers by
the United States, and it was only
through the fact Of kinship that Great
Britain had dealt so leniently with the
United States in the matter. Canada
was working urgently to prevent the
United States from stopping pelagic
sealing which would give Americans q
monopoly of the seal business and the
opposition would support them as
long AS they maintained q firm
stand. In his many brilliant speeches
in Great Britain, Premier Laurier
had not said a word about the
progress Of Canada, evidently because
he knew progress was brought about
BY actions of the conservatives. Upper

Brennan Readers.
Monday afternoon at 4:30
O'Clock at the residence of the
BRIDES parents, Mr.. and Mrs. w.
P. Dever, in this city Mr.. John
J. Dimmitt and Miss Pearl Dever
were united in marriage by Rev.

ence of the immediate relatives
and few intimate friends of the
contracting parties. Shortly af-
ter the ceremony the welded
couple were driven to the train
for trip to Monterey and other
points in old Mexico.
The groom is one of the best
and most favorably known young
men in the city, where he has a

prospects. His fair bride is one
of the most beautiful young
ladies of this city and indeed of
the State, and she is as amiable
as she is pretty. Domestic in her

SAN IAc1Nro BATTLE GROUND.

] j
The Legislature at its last ses-
sion made an appropriation fol-
the purchase of the land upon
which the battle of San Jacintc
was fought and Texas independ-
ence won. Now the owners OF
that land, about $50 acres, want
such an extravagant price for ii
that the committee appointed to
make the preliminary R9rrange-
ments for the transfer of the
property to the State have given
up the negotiations in disgust.
Now there is a suggestion of
condemnation proceedings to &C.
quire the property as the only
recourse remaining.
The San Jacinto battlefield oc-
cupies a pretty position on Buff
falo bayou, says the San An
tonic Express, about twenty
miles below Houston, for a park,
a portion of it being covered by
large oaks which form beauti-
full grove. The land is high and
dry, for the most part, and much
of it has never been cleared for
cultivation. The minimum price
at which it has been offered is
S25 an acre, but there are sever
al owners and some of them want
a higher price.
The land is situated in a part
of the coast country which has
attracted the attention of home
seekers in the last few years to
such an extent as to contribute
to its rapid settlement. Some of
the prairie land contiguous
which could have been pur-
chased for song a few years
ago, now commands a fancy
price and its value must enhance
as the country settles up by the
small fruit and vegetable farm
ers. The opening up of the
Buffalo bayou channel, as con-
templated by the Federal govern
ment for the passage of mer-
chant vessels and all manner of
water craft, would enhance the
value of AUDITING land all the
way from the mouth of the
bayou to the head of navigation,
and seeking to acquire the land
the State should take these mat
ters into consideration. The
State should have the ground
and the owners should be al
lowed fair price for it.
The ground on which the bat
tie of San Jacinto was fought
and wherein rest the mortal re-
mains of men who bravely
fought for the independence of
Texas, should be sacred. 1t
should be inclosed and cared for
as the birth place of the liberties
which Texans now enjoy and no
time should be lost in securing
the property to the State with
that end in view. The State
should not be niggardly about a
matter of this sort.

The Lagrange Journal claims
that the present wage system in
vogue in the manufacturing cen
tiers has all the vices of slavery
and none of its virtues, and if
continued must be productive of
evil consequences of great mag
nitude. The best thought of the
country should be devoted to it,
if the aristocracy of wealth will
but permit it. But just so long
as it continues to inflict upon this
country the Hannas and Paines
of Ohio as it has done in the past,
just so long will we have an I'M
solved problem of danger in our
social organization.

CHRISTMAS DAY.
DAMNED GLOOMY, BUT THE SUN
SHoNE IN The AFTERNOON.
The Festival Was Not a Dry One Eithe
From a Weather Standpoint or
the Condition of the
NoJabraforo
Celebrators.

Christmas, 1897, has passed
into history and the day that has
been in prospect SO long must
now be viewed from a retro
spective standpoint. Its cele-
bration fulfilled the brightest
prospects and most roseate
dreams of Young America who
find in Christmas a license to do
such things and to say such
things as is accorded on no other
occasion. What the day lacked
in eclat was made up by noise.
All day long the boys stood on
the corners discharging fireworks
and yelling like Indians. The
fact that every cannon cracker
which exploded in the muddy
street sprinkled some passing
pedestrian with mud cut no ice
with the boys, except to lend in
creased merriment. Several
damageless runaways resulted
from the incessant firing. Some
eye brows were singed, some
clothes scorched, some faces
p owder burned. But none of
these minor drawbacks detract-
ed one iota from the days sport.
With one or two exceptions all
business houses, saved the sa-
looms, were Theoretically sealed
for the day and the clerks and
employees given an opportunity
to spend the day as their tastes
and dispositions dictated.
