themselves, but they have taken
care Of their laborers and fed and
clothed those living and working
on their farms, in many instances
without hope Of compensation.
The planters have shown them
selves brave, liberal and charita-
ole and they are naturally indig-
nant, and justly so, regarding the
publication. Again, there are only
two convict farms in the Brazos
bottom in the territory contiguous
to Bryan. They are at Mumford,
and no criticism is ever heard as
10 the manner in which they are
conducted. Any person who be-
heves 70 the contrary is at liberty
TO 90 there any day and see for him
selfius what the conditions are.
The oyerfows are due to natural
causes and can and will be abated
by the use Of levees. The Meteor
could serve a far better purpose boy
Joining in the effort to bring about
this much desired result, which
would mean so much, not only to
the Brazos bottom and to Bryan
but 10 this whole section Of the
state.

she. But the shadow of grief that
settled upon her fair young life
was as deep and impenetrable as
her happiness had been glorious
and complete. She came again to
the home of her childhood, and all
the wealth of tenderness and love
of father, mother, brothers and sis
ters was lavished upon her, but
they brought no smile to the
pale. sweet face. And then God
looked in mercy and compassion
upon her broken heart, and the
angels beckoned to her and the
babe for which her life was given,
that they might join the waiting
husband where pain and death
and partings never come.
The hearts Of the people OF
Bryan have been deeply touched
by the weight Of sorrow that has
fallen upon this devoted home,
and very ,arge company of friends
assembled yesterday morning to
offer such consolation as they
might to the living and pay a part
ing tribute to the dead.

MRS. NOZZLE p. WILSON.

After a briefillness Mrs. Mozell'
p. Wilson died Sunday morning in
this city at the home Of her par
ents, Mr.. and Mrs. T. p. Boyett,
Mrs. Wilson was "a years old and
was born and reared in Bryan.
She was greatly beloved by all for
her sweet and womanly character
and kindly disposition. In her
girlhood she was like a ray Of sun
shine in the home and in the cir
Gle Of friends who knew and loved
her so devotedly.
On the first of last October she
was united in marriage 20 Mr.. Al
bert Wilson, Of Houston, by Rev.
jewell Howard, and no happier
bride ever left the parental roof
with fond blessings to go and make
a home for a more manly and de-
voted young husband. Would that
we might end the story here, but
the happiness Of this new home
was brief, and its ending tragic
beyond the power Of language TO
describe. Mr.. Wilson was a brake
man on the Houston and Texas
railroad, and one day five
ago, when his girl wife
was expecting him home from his
run, there came instead the cruel,
terrible, heartbreaking tidings that
he was dead-mangled by the
nerciless wheels of his train at
Hampstead.
Few are called upon to endure
Iuch awful agony, and none could

Lees Criticism of Cleveland.

Evidently referring to a speech de-
iivered in New York last Friday night,
in which the general sharply criticised
President Cleveland for his failure to
interfere with Spain in Cuba. The Will
mington Messenger says:
"EX-PresidenC Cleveland must be
looming up too cOnspicuOusly as a pos
sibility for the democratic nomination
in 1904 to suit General Fitzhugh Lee
1t is a little difficult to see why Gen.
Lee should be opposed to Cleveland
coming to the front again, except that
in criticising the man who placed him
In the way of getting his present pos
ton, by sending him to Havana, ne is
following what seems to be the rule
among politicians. Had Gen. Lee not
been appointed consul general at Ha-
vaaa by Cleveland it is to be doubted
whether he wouid haevo gotten into the
army. for his Cuban experience secured
for him the latter place. The appoint
ment OF a man to a public position by
a president Mould not operate to close
that mans mouth forever against crit
icfsm of the chief executive. but 1t
certainly should have q tendency TO
keep him from going out OF his way tC
speak Ill of him.. Gen. Lee appears not
only TO have done this in comparing the
records of Cleveland and McKinley-the
one a private citizen and the other dead
but he gave out what might be
termed official secrets In telling % the
reports he made to President Cleve-
land, when he said:
L want to say that l reported Is
President Cleveland the exact condition
Of affairs that existed there. l report
ed the rebellion with all its brutalitlea
horrors. and ,old him that it would
continue for several generations il not
brought TO a speedy end. Mr.. Cleveland
gave no attention TO my reports. ami
1t was not until that great man now
sleeping in Canton, o., took charge OF
affairs in Washington that these afro
clous conditions were brought ID ali
nd"
Aside from being bad taste these
words indicate personal feeling. Clave-
land, e Lee appears TO think, paid
no attention to his advice. while Nc
| kinley acted upon it. The u~tterances
IF Gen. Lee will be regarded as uafor-
tunate by many Of his friends, for they
are those of a smaller man than The

opinion the exchanges Of the company

in it's toll business.
After further discussion, the meeting

Before adjourning President Chad

SONS knowing OF public legislation need

aemnrks I'm Opposition to the
Statehood Bill-senntor Morgan
milan Canal Commissioners-Hil-
itia Bill Up-In House, Rapid Pro-
Eress Made on Appropriation Bills

Washington, December 16.-In the
senate today, senator Dillingham; con
Guided his remarks in opposition to the
omnibus statehood bill and by unani-
nous consent it was agreed that there
should be M further discussion of the.
Measure until the senate reconvened
on January 5tl. Senator Teller wanted
to submit some remarks in reply ne
said, to the ISLANDERS of the committee
on territories and of Senator Dilling-I
ham, but senators insisted that the
agreement not TO further discuss the
bill should be adhered to. Senator Nor
gan, of Alabama, criticised the salaries
paid the Isthmian Canal commission.
Senator Morgan asked that his bill
fixing the salaries of the isthmian canal
commission at $4,000 a year be referred
to the committee on Inter-Oceanic
canals. He said he had been informed
hat the present commissioners were
paid $1,000 a month each and that their
service had extended over tw~enty-nine
and q half months.
In response to an inquiry from Mr..
Hale, Mr.. Morgan said that out Of the
twenty-nine n a haLf months, the
commission nae spent six weeks in
Nicaragua n two weeks in Panama.
That is a very remarkable state
ment," said Mr.. Hale.
1T is a true one" replied Mr.. Nor
gan, land shows the necessity of our
doing something to regulate these ex-
penses."
Continuing Senator Morgan said It
was necessary 'in advance of striking
one lick" On that canal, to make such
provision as will prevent the United
States from running into the horrible
%iniquities of the old Panama Canal
Company as well as the new one. He
said there had been spent on that cana
$3.50. 600 900 and there was nothing 10
show for it except two fifths Of a ditch
dug there which was filled UP to a large
extent. The bill was referred as re-
