Next Tuesday.

Beaumont, Texas. December AT Sa-
bine Pass Tuesday the directors Of the
Sabine Land and improvement company
will hold their annual meeting. Ordinarily
this meeting Nxould not be of unusual i'm
portance TO Beaumont. 1t is generally
known that Improvement OF the company's
property at Sabine Pass is to be continued
possibly on more extensive scale, and it
1t but natural that the directors ehouh
make provision for a continuation Of this
policy. But at the meeting Tuesday d.
rectors Of the Sabine Land and Improve
ment company will doubtless determine the
point to which the Sabine Pass Terminal
railroad will be built and Beaumont is
vitality interested In their decision.
AT present they have Beaumont and
Houston both In view, and 80 far as natural
conditions are concerned tho cities stand an
equal show. Houston Is the larger city and
has more trunk railroads and more actual
business, but Beaumont Is nearer by fifty
miles. has promising future and coulo

bridges over navigable streams. Houston
wants this railroad, however. and is max

preston that the proper effort on the part
of this city will secure 1t.

PRINCIPLEs2 OR sPoILsq

There was a joint meeting of the
county central committees of the
Populist and Democratic parties at the
Odd Fellows hall last Thursday. To
talk about delivering the masses OF
the people from the degrading and
impOverishing domination of "the
corrupt old parties ?" To discuss the
best methods to secure purity in poll
tics and honesty and economy in the
public service? To consider questions
of political principle and party faith ?
Well, hardly!
To agree upon q division of the
spot!
That was the sole object of the meet
ing, openly announced and shameless
ly avowed.
Not a word about the triumph of
any cause or the vindicatiOn of any
principle. Not a word about prOmot-
ing the interests of the county or help
ing the people. Not word about
any of these things, but whole after
noon about how many POpulists and
how many Democrats should go on
the ticket, the "Anything-fOr-Office"
ticket! A whole afternoon for dozen
or so men to fix up a deal which
several hundred men are to be asked
to ratify, as matter of principle"
and in the holy name of reform !"
Was there ever a more palpable fraud,
a farce more apparent and grotesque?
And they had high jinks of
time. The Pops proposed in the first
place that the Democrats be given
two places on the ticket and they
themselves the other four. But the
Democrats kicked. They were going
to have half or nothing. They will
get half. And then it was proposed
that each party hold its own pri-
mary election and convention for the
nomination ofthe candidates to which
it was entitled. This was fought
bitterly by the old line fixers who
have been used to meeting in dark
room somewhere and deciding who
should and should not go the ticket.
But they lost.
So committee of three from each
party was appointed who are to re-
port in two weeks as to the division
of the offices and the date of the
conventions.
And this is the outfit, these the
methods, that will go before the peo-
pie this fall and claim support and
endorsement because of their devo-
ton to principle and their zeal for
reform! so Shame, where is thy
blush ~

THE BRICK ARE ALL RIGHT.

The lola Brick Company has COM
pleted burning its first kiln, and the
brick are all right. Good shape,
hard as stone, good color. Experts
pronounce them first class in every
respect, and they are certainly far
superior TO any foreign brick now ON
this market. The Company is to be
congratulated, and so is the town.
And the credit of stablishing this
splendid industry here is due solely
to A. w. Beck. He spent days and
weeks prospecting and experiment
ing. A less patient and persistent
man would have given it up in dis
gust or despair. But he persisted,
and as a result % or 80 men are get
ting work, and the people of lola are
getting brick at less than half what
they have hitherto paid 1t is hard
to estimate the value to community
of man who does things like that.

MEMORIAL DAY,

A more beautiful day than last Sat.
urday could not have been wished
for to celebrate Memorial Day. The
day was cool and refreshing and the
stiff breeze that came up with the
sun went down about noon and put
away all disagreeabilities. During
the morning the people came in from
all directions and by the time the
parade was formed there were fully
1000 people in town.
Promptly at o'clock the procession
formed on Washington avenue, head
ed by the Select knights band, fol-
lowed by Co. D., K. n. g., McCook
Post, g. A. R., the flower girls, and
the different secret societies. 1t
made very beautiful parade. After
the usual decoration services and
firing the salute at the grave yard,
the procession marched back to the
city park where the band played
several selections and Rev. 1. B. Pal
liam, of the NJ. E. church. was intro
duced and delivered the grafton of
the day. Mr.. Pulliam is always a
and entertaining talker and
he held the close attention of his
immense audience for nearly an hour.
His speech was often interrupted by
cheers of enthusiasm. 1t was one of

is the medicine for you to take if your

the best Decoration day speeches ever
delivered in lola. After the speak
ing the band played few selections
and the crowd dispersed.
Company d. National Guards had
their camp pitched on the north side
of the square and they gave an ex-
hibition drill in the morning and
evening.
Nearly all the stores and a great
many of the residences were very
prettily decorated with flags and
bunting. The big crowd seemed to
enjoy itself all day long and it was
another gala day for lola.

JOHN MCDONALD FOR COMMITS

The office of county commissioner is
so thankless a one and so poorly paid,
but withal so important. that the
REGISTER feels like cOngratulating
the people of this district and of the
county that Mr.. John Mcdonald has
consented to become a candidate for
a second term. Mr.. Mcdonald is a
pioneer, an old soldier and a success
full farmer. He has discharged the
duties of commissioner during the
past three years with faithfulness,
honesty and good sense, and richly
deserves the unopposed denomination
and the practically unanimous re-elec-
ton that he is almost certain toreceive.
