A Prominent banker and re

we know that should he again
be elected he would be subject
to our control so far as our in
terests are concerned. I need
not speak of what would inevi
tably ensue should the Democ
racy come into full control cf

ments in Washington. The

Truly a nice condition of af
fairs. "The people already

edgement on the part of the re

not bear public scrutiny,

COTTON MIXLS.
Cotton Tactories is a subject
that it is being revived by the
Texas press. Some of the pa
pers recklessly assert thata bile
of cotton weighing 500 pounds
manufactured into calico ' is
worth $$00. This calculation,
w e think, a great error the es
timate being too large by half.
There is no doubt, however, that
hert. would be a large profit in
the maufacture of cotton goods
in Texas. The saving in the
'freight on the raw material to
the eastern factories and on the
iflasljfacturcd articles back
again isno inconsiderable item.
The mild climate of Texas is
admirably adopted for factory
handsj and the ease and abun
dance -of the products of the
garden and fields renders living
particularly cheap. Such ad
vantages are possessed by no
other state in the Union.
At present we have no cotton
factory in the State worthy of
the name. At New Braunfels
the woolen mills-'have been in
successful operation for many
years, and has an established
reputation for the excellence of
its goods throughout the South
and West.
Waco is soon to have her cot
ton factory in operation and
should it be practically demon
strated that it is a success, there
is but little that other cotton
mills will be erected in different
parts of the State. Whenever
capitalists are convinced that
money can be made in Texas
by the establishment of facto
ries they will put money in them,
not before. Capital is prover
bially timid: men who have money-
never invest it unless they
have a reasonable assurance that
it will pay. In this view of the
case the establishment of the
factory at Waco is a matter of
congratulation, not only to Wa
co, but to the State at large.
Hanging.
On Saturday last Smith Jack
son and Burrell Jones, negroes
were' hanged at Bastrop. The
execution was public and as is
usual in such cases attracted a
large crowd, it being estimated
that 3000 Jpersons were
present. When upon the gal
lows each made lengthy, but in-i
coherent speeches, closing with
the request that everybody
meet them in heaven, whither
they were going. In Novem
ber 1876 a negro boy nine years
old was met in the road by a
Williamson county cattle drov
er and taken to his home. The
relatives of the boy applied to
a colored, voodooist to ascer
tain what had became of the
boy: the voodooist said that a
negro named Black, living in
neighborhood, had drowned the
boy in a creek A number of
negroes, among them the men
who were hanged took Black
out and hanged him several
in a vain endeaver to
make him confess that he had
drowned the boy, failing in this
they hung Black for good.
Voodooism is thus responsible
or the hanging of three men,
two legally and one illegally.
A third nehro goes to the peni
tentiary for life, his sentence
having been commuted by the
governor.
Competition, it is said, is the
life of trade. This is -doubtless
true to a great extent, but it ap
pears to us that trade must be
"mighty dull" to induce the
Sunset and G., H.&H. railroad
to reduce the price offreight
on cotton from Richmond to
Galveston to fifty cents a bale.
"Our" road, the Santa Fe, is
carrying it at the same price,
but there is no money it for
the railroads. This is jfhe re
sult of competition and the rates
will be kept down as the rail
roads are at "outs." Competi
tion is a good thing for the far
mers and merchants and should
we succeed, as we doubtless
will, in getting the Santa Fe
road through to Brenham and
beyond, many thousands of dol
lars will be saved to the produc
ers in the way of freights.

Special Dbpatch to the Giobe-Dcmocnt.
Brenham, Tex., December 13.
Citizens are expecting an at
tack from armed robbers and
bandits, reported in the neigh
borhood. Two military com
panies are held in readiness, and
every house has been furnished
with breech-loaders.
The above clipping from the
St. Louis Globc-Dcmoa atis sent
to the Banner by Gen. J. B.
Robertson, of this county, who
is now in that city. It is a spec
men of the lies that are con
stantly being published in that
paper. The above dispatch w as
manufactured to order at some
other point in the State. We
are prepared to state most posi
tively that the St. Louis Globe
Demooat has no special corres
pondent in Brenhan, and with
out making a positive assersion,
w e do not hesitate to say the
above dispatch was not sent
from Brenham.
A few days ago when excite
ment was running high about the
robberies a Round Rock and
Circleville, the correspondent of
the Ncivs at this place, who is
naturally of an exciteable dis
position, himself got excited
and sent a cock and bull story
about the people of Brenham
being excited, thejmilitary com
panies being in readiness and
everybody and his wife having
Winchesters cocked and prim
ed. It is perhaps unnesessary
to say that there was no excite
ment here any more than there
was at Houston or Galveston,
but nevertheless robbers would
meet with a warm reception
should they attempt the game
played at Round Rock.
It is plain enough that the
Galveston JVezvs' special dis
patch from Brenham was the
basis of the special in the Globe
Democrat and was distorted into
'its hidious-shape by the Texas
correspondent of that lying
sheet. The correspondent is
supposed to have his headquar
ters in Houston from which
poiut "special dispatches and
Special correspondedce" from
'every place in Texas, is sent
doctored up to suit the taste of
the proprietors of the G.-D.
Chemistry has already ac
complished wonders; now dis
coveries are being made every
day. Mr. Norman Lockyer, a
London chemist, has, it is said,
by means of the voltaic current
and hydrochloric acid con
verted copper into calcium,
nickel into cobalt, and calcium
into stoontium. If these chan
ges can bemade there is no tel
ling where the process of re
duction will stop. This being
the csae gold may be formed
from the baser metals and in
course of time this pecious me
tal would lose its value. So far
it has not been accomplished;
gold retains its value as a med
ium of exchange
.
One of the most remarkable
instances of the growth of a city
is that of Kansas Ctty, Mo. Ten
years ago she was an insignifi
cient border town of some 5000
inhabitants, to-day she is a city
of 50,000 and is growing rapid
ly. The state of Kansas to the
west is rapidly settling up and
as her territory is contigu
ous to Kansas City that place is
growing as fast as the country.
It is predicted that in five years
more Kansas City will boast of
a population of 100,000. All of
this has been brought about by
railroads.
Dr. E. L. Woodson writes to
the Galveston News from Mine
ola, complaining of the inhuman
treatment of convicts who are
working on the railroad at that
place. The convicts are com
pelled to work without sufficient
clothing and are not supplied
with any under-clothing what
ever. The lessees of the peni
tentiary perhaps need a little in
vestigation. Convicts should
be treated as human beings.

Fortunately for Texas, just
as the Legislature is about to
convene, the press of the State,
with significant unanimity, advo
cates the enactment of a code
which may compel the payment
of all taxes due as a condition
precedent to the exercise of the
right of suffrage. One-third of
the voters'of Texas, having no
property besides their polk,
pay no taxes whatever. Their
polls can no longer be sold for
taxes or otherwise, as the State
protects and serves and .yet de-
rives no compensation from this
multitude of tramps and idlers.
And yet these non-taxpaying
people often vote twice each,
and oftener, in each election.
These papers earnestly advo
cate the enactment of a law
which the Statesman sought to
have fastened on the Constitu
tion itself, and in which it met
the opposition of demagogues,
which was then strengthened by
a general timidity. Now such
a law can only be secured by
submitting a constitutional
amendment to the people, and
the politicians have found out
the people want such a law they
will be ready to provide for its
enactment. Austin Sratesman
