OUR ENLARGED WEEKLY AND
THE OFFER WE MAKE.
Our readers will noliee this week a
new departure in the way of the enlarged
size of our Weekly. This will be con
tinued through the future, and eaeh week
The Weekly Statesman will ic to '"
In twelve page size. This will enable us
to publish 'in the Weekly every line of
Important congressional and foreign mat
ter that comes over the Associated Press
wires during the whole week to our Daily.
Not only do we guarantee to publish nil
of this news, now so important amid
the strained relations of our country
with England and isissibly soon with
Spain because of Culm, and also because
of the strained relations of so many of
the European nations with each other;
not only will we weekly publish all of
this news, but also all the news of gen
eral importance outside and inside of
Texas. In addition to this we will puli
lish the fullest reports of the con
duct of the State's business in the
various departments here at Aus
tin of any paper in the State. We
intend to make this a feature of special
interest to all our readers, as we feel
they are all peculiarly alive to knowing
just how their business is being conduct
ed tit the capital. Editorial and political
opinions will be made an entirely second
ary matter in all our Weekly editions.
We purpose publishing essentially a news
Weekly, full of news from beginning to
end. This week Is but u fair sample,
when we send out a Weekly with over
sixty-five columns of the cream of the
news of the world and some of the most
carefully selected items of general inter
est. There will be no Increased price for
this vastly improved Weekly, but on the
contrary we propose another change for
the benefit of the readers of our Weekly.
Our Sunday daily, that ranges from
twelve to twenty pages, has for ten years
beeu sold for $2 a your. All Weekly
subscribers who have paid in advance
can get the Sunday daily by sending
into the otlice the proportionate part of
n dollar the balance of their year calls
for on the Weekly. To all new subscrib
ers of the Weekly we will send the Sun
day daily also for the sum of $2 n year
covering both. This clubbing the Sun
day daily and the Weekly will, we think,
be more acceptable than any arrange
ment for a strictly semi-weekly, ns the
Sunday daily will reach subscribers at a
better time and will also be n larger edi
tion than the Weekly. With our Weekly
list steadily increasing in the past, we
expect under this change, so manifestly
to the interest of our patrons, to reach
many more of you In the future than
ever before. We guarantee to do our
full port to make both editions entirely
interesting and satisfactory to all our
renders.
Gomez must be a curious kind of a
fellow. Every day some Spanish gen
eral defeats and disperses his army with
generally the loss of one or two Spanish
soldiers killed or missing and pursues
his routed columns until they dissolve
into nothingness, but the wonderful part
of the story is when the Spanish army
wakes up the next morning by some
strange "hocus pocits" ihoy timl tinnioz
nnd his army camped on the veritable
battleground from which he was driven
so far the day before. These snide sto
ries of Spanish victories are concocted
by employes of Spain in their offices iu
New York, we shrewdly suspect
OF INTEREST TO FARMERS.
By raising less cotton the last year and
sufficient supplies in corn, oats, wheat
and cnttle to supply the cotton planta
tions, the planter have been enabled at
least to catch up or get even, and this
year the prospect before them is most
eucouruging. The cotton planters, at
their recent meeting at Memphis, gave
some excellent advice to cotton plunters
in the form of the following resolution,
towit:
"Resolved, That we call the attention
of Southern cotton growers to the fact
that they nre musters of the situation.
The crop of 1805 being less than 7,000,
U00 bales renders it entirely feasible by
a further and reasonable reduction of
acreage during the present year to ma
terially udvance the value of cotton nnd
thus Insure a safe ami substantial profit
that cannot fuil to bring incrensed pros
perity to the South, not only ns the im
mediate result of such profit, but by en
hancing the vulue of our hinds and turn
ing hither the tide of immigration so
much needed for the development of the
natural resources of this great section.
We earnestly urge all producers of cotton
to take advantage of this golden oppor
tunity and to continue the wise policy
adopted during the past season of making
the South self-supporting by first produc
ing un abundant supply of corn, hay,
incut and other like commodities for home
consumption, decreasing the cotton
acreage still further, thus guarding
against the dangers of overproduction
and leaving the cotton us a surplus crop.
We usk' thorough co-ois-rntiou of all
farmers, planters, merchants, news
papers and ull the business and other or
ganizations interested in the develop
ment a ml welfare of the South iu giving
wide publicity to these resolutions and
aiding us to secure general nnd hearty
compliance with their important sugges
tions. We invite the attention of the
planters ami farmers of the South to the
great importance of adopting a method of
holding cotton until such time us it can
be placed on the markets of the world to
the greutest ndvuntiige."
o
Germany is rapidly becoming a consti
tutional government in fact as well as
mime. Tlx emperor has been made
aware of the fact, that the reichstag will
not permit him to draw upon his people
iu thi) way of taxes to build a navy equal
in dignity and power to that of his regu
lar army. They ha vei concluded that one
fad, a large standing army, is enough
to indulge an emperor with, but the best
sign of it is that the representatives of
the people are not afraid to exercise their
constitutional rights. The emperor will
soon find out that Germany was not made
solely for him, but that he was made to
execute laws enacted by u legislative
body, and that his kingly authority is
limited by constitutional enactments.
Many political critics who lire heap
ing coals of indignation on Mr. Cleve
land's head for forgetting the advice of
Washington to ovoid foreign entangle
ments, were about the most rabid advo
cates of the annexation of the Sandwich
Islands to the United States. One of
them especially, whose condemnation of
the administration is too deep for words
and expresses itself by a lofty silence on
the Venezuelan matter, would have an
nexed Hawaii if his term as president
of the United States had lasted six
mouths longer. Of course we mean
President Harrison, who hud a following
in that way that is now loud in condem
nation of the administration.
Aruusas Pass has cause to put on met
ropolitan airs as one of the great sea
port cities of the American coast line.
For the Hart line of steamers running
boats between Philadelphia and the West
Indies have determined to establish u
line tf steamers to run from Philadel
phia to Aransas Pans. It is authorita
tively stated that the jetty and break
water that have been built iu the Aran
sas Fuss harbor have so deepened the
water in the harbor that vessels draw
ing twenty-live feet of water will soon
be enabled to enter it with safety.
If the Nicaragua canal Is built Aransas
Pass will nt once become an important
seaport, and of course n large city. There
seems to be every prospect that it will
be built. It is now said that the report
made by the government commission dis
couraging the scheme was influenced by
enemies of the canal, and that its pro
jectors will be able to refute the state
ments prejudicial to it made by the com
mission and fully establish its practica
bility. But even if that canal is not con
structed, Aransas Pass, while it will
not grow so fast, must grow into a city
of considerable importance from the nat
ural growth of Texas resources nnd the
necessity for an outlet to foreign mar
kets. A PARTICLE OF THE BRAIN OF
TOM PAINE.
Ill giving an account of the recent ex
hibition iu London of the works and
mementoes or relics of Tom raine, Mon
ctire D. Conway closes the description
of the articles shown by saying: "Amid
all these things was a little dried sub
stance shown under glass by Mr. Louis
Breeze, beside it a little certificate of au
thenticity by B. Tilly, William Cobbitt's
secretary. It is n part of Fame's brain.
This bit of the 'imperial Caesar' last
century's radicalism, 'dead and turned
to clay, quaint relic of a brain whose ev
ery word n hundred years ago niiule
thrones tremble, stirred one of the speak
ers to eloquence.' "
No wonder it stirred a speaker to elo
quence, surrounded as he was by relies
of one of the greatest men that ever
lived as well as one of the most devoted
I American patriots. But this little relic,
a dried particle of Paine's brain, taught
a deeper lesson than all Paine's wisdom
( ever conceived. What is it now? A
, piece of clay to stop a crack or a keyhole
, to intercept the vision of some "peeping
Tom," but what was it when it was in
stinct with vitality? It was a part of a

vehicle to convey great thoughts, and if
some other man's bruin, who had been the
father of great thoughts, had been exhib
ited to Tom Puine when he was alive it
might have Impressed him with the sumo
great truth that the exhibition of a parti
cle of hi'J brain that impresses the behold
er with an idea of the immortality of the
mind that used that brain when it was
alive in a head clothed with flesh.
It was perishable, or rathe its vital
ity was perishable, but the mind which
used It must have been imperishable.
That would seem to be the impression of
one acquainted with the intellectual ef
forts of Tom Pnine when looking at u
deud und dried particle of his brain.
Knowing these things, one could not re
sist the impulse, even without the aid of
revelation, of being impressed with the
thought that this piece of dull, dead flesh
could have never thought and that it only
arrived in its life nnd nt the dignity of
conveying thoughts through the spirit
ual "ego," and that Torn Pnine conceiv
ed and uttered through it. When Ham
let picked up the skull of Yorlck, an old
friend, nnd declared he knew him well,
that he was u fellow of infinite humor,
he does not mean the skull when alive
was of infinite humor, but that Its own
er, the mind and soul that spoke through
its tongue and looked through , its eyes,
was a fellow of "infinite humor."
A dead particle of brain brings more
fully to our understanding that, its own
er's "ego" was iu the spiritual existence
nnd not in n thing so perishable as that;
especially if it is known that the particle
of brain wits the property nt one time
of some grout soul. The seeing and
handling of such a particle of bruin
forces upon us the contrust between that
inanimate thing nnd the soul or mind.
We cannot bt think how mean, con
temptible and insignificant is this dried
dead matter compared to the mind that
used it, and the thought presses upon us
that there was a higher, grander anil
more perfect existence in the individual
than the perishable part we sec nnd
handle, not "per se" superior to the
brain of nn idiot or that of n brute. Per
haps in fineness of texture it is superior
to that of the owner's horse or dog, for
it wus made for the performance of su
perior functions, but it is nothing nor
ever was anything but the same kind of
flesh common to the brutes of the field.
It is flesh, and flesh never had a thought,
flesh never conceived nn idea and there
must have been something in the man
superior to his flesh that dies, decom
poses nnd is food for the worms; some
thing that could think, something that
had glorious conceptions, something that
could reason, something that could fath
om the deepest mystery nnd know God.
That something was not flesh and
blood, that something was not the phys
ical body. Oh, no; it was greater, su
perior to even that splendid piece of
mechunism, the human body. It was
the man himself, the true "ego," the im
perishable individuality, the mind and
sould that was and is, the man, imper
ishable nnd eternal as God Himself.

DOG BROUGHT THE PARDON.
It was n dog that brought lilierty to u
convict iu the Kentucky penitentiary re
cently says the Cincinnati Enquirer. The
intelligent brute acted ns messenger be
tween Governor Brown and the felon,
carrying the pardon in its mouth from
the executive mansion to the prison and,
after gaining admittance, to the recipient
of clemency himself. The dog is the
property of the governor and the con
vict is O. G. Garden of ljouisvillo, who
wns sentenced two years ago to serve
u term of eight years for manslaughter.
For some time Garden has been em
ployed ns n "trusty" at the executive
mansion, doing chores nnd running er
rand. The dog, n fine looking specimen
of the shepherd breed, is a family pet
and is unusually intelligent.
It was a part of Garden's duty to
look after the animal nnd they became
fast friends. When the prison doors
were opened in the morning the collie
wns there to meet his convict friend nnd
iiccompniiy him to the mansion. At
night he returned and with his striped
playmate to the grim portals.
When pardon wns mndo out it was sug
gested that the dog be permitted to carry
the welcome freedom to his devoted
friend. The paper wns enclosed in n
stout onveloio and given to the nnininl,
which was told to go to the penitentiary.
With a wag of its tail it left the mansion
and ran down the old accustomed route
to the prison. A telephone message ap
prised the guards of his coming and he
wns admitted without delay.
Garden was in the yard patiently
awaiting the arrival of the governor's
messenger, never dreaming that the dog
had been selected. Catching sight" of the
well known fnce, the dog ran up to the
coevict nnd laid the envelope at his feet.
The glad crv of happy surprise thnt
the overjoyed prisoner gave vent to on
catching up the official envelope nnd
tearing it open was re-echoed bv n suc
cession of joyous burks from the four
footed harbinger of good tidings.'

THURSDAY, JANUARY .10, 1WHI.
ARMENIAN RESOLUTION
(Continued from first page.)
Armenian resolution wns announced, Mr.
Guigg (Rep.) of New York, a member
of the foreign uffuirs committee, moved
that the senate resolution be Hultitute.l
for that of the house. He explained that
the difference between the resolutions was
so slight that it was not udvisahle, n
view of the passage of the senate resolu
tion, to press the one prepared i tin
house committee. He iiiiide n Unci
statement of the fucts, which called upon
congress to express its indignation at tne
situation in Asia Minor. Our interest
wus purely humane. Although the new s
puper accounts occasionally reported
utrocities on American citizens, there
were nssurances from the stute depart
ment that no citizen had suffered m their
persons. . .
Our dutv wns, therefore, one of Hu
manity and it wns n mutter of profound
grief, said he, that the American people
were now forced to protest to those who
had given bonds for the good behavior ot
the Turk. It was not. necessary for us.
he suid, to inunire into the motives which
actuated an European power which de
cried the outrages in Turkey with one
hnnd and upheld the sultan with the
other. With the jealousies and political
machinations of Europe wo were not in
terested, but since European powers, m
the name of the government mid hum
inanity, had pledged the sultan nnd he
hnd acknowledged the pledge, that liberty
of conscience mid freedom of worship
should exist in every part of the Ottji
mnn empire, nnd that Christians should
be protected from the Kurds, we had the
right to summon those powers before the
high court of good faith to explain why
thev rest idly and supinely inactive while
10.000 Christian homes were destroyed;
while men nnd women were murdered,
women dishonored nnd children sold into
bondage because they refused to cry out
that Mahomet wus the great prophet.
He characterized the Armenians as a
noble and intelligent race who had for
.'100 years preserved their language and
national characteristics and hud resisted
the effort to Russianize them.
Mr. Quigg intimnted a belief that the
main responsibility lay with Great Brit
ain and he said he wanted the European
powers to know that wo were watching
with horror the helpless struggle of a
people who had for ten centuries retained
their religion nnd who were suffering,
not for what they did, but for what they
thought. The offenses against them, he
doelured, was an offense against Chris
tian civilization.
"I will not say," concluded Mr. Quigg,
"whose duty it is to stop these outrages.
But I submit to the serious judgment
of the American people that the time has
gone by when one Christian country can
close its eyes to such outrages and sol
emnly aver 'I am not my brother's keep
er.' (Applause.)
"These resolutions will probably he in
adequate, hut if they have the effect of
showing to the parties of the treaty of
Berlin that the American people are
watching their dereliction the protest and
warning it conveys may serve."
In reply to a question of Mr. Million
(Rep.) of Pennsylvania, Mr. Quigg said
thnt no American citizen had suffered
personal injury. The death of the bi
cyclist, who was murdered, wus not the
result of religious fanaticism. As for
the property of the American college that
mill been destroyed, .Mr. Quigg said,
before Turkey fully realized her obliga
tion. Mr. Savors (Dem.) of Texas acked
whether there had been any neglect on
the part of the American minister, to
winch .Mr. Quigg replied that the inlor
mation from the state department was
to the effect that Mr. Terrell had per
formed his duty with great intelligence
and zeal, and from other sources he be
lieved he was able to say that he hud
done his duty with signal ability.
"Has the committee on foreign af
fairs," asked Mr. Bailey (Dem.) of Tex
as, "considered the propriety of request
ing the enforcement of a treaty to which
the United States is a party?"
"The committee," replied Mr. Quigg.
"considered it obviously proper to call
on the European powers which signed the
treaty to do their duty."
Mr. Bailey thought that at a time when
we were maintaining the impropriety of
an European interference with the" af
fairs of this continent it was improper
that we should seek to interfere with the
affairs of Euroiie.
This opened it debate which took wide
range and evoked several denunciations
of Turkey, which were applauded to the
echo.
Senor Meiidonea. the Brazilian minis
ter, was an interested auditor in the
diplomatic gallery.
Mr. McCreary (Dem.) of Kentucky sup
ported the resolution because he thought
the cause of the Armenians was the
cause of humanity nnd justice. It was
he urged, our duty to plead with Euro
pean powers to enforce their treaty ob
ligations. Mr Bailey, while in entire sympathy
with the spirit of the resolution, again ex-
..' iiouot or tne propriety of the

IrTli'itt's well tempered remarks
,.rved to cool the ardor of many who
had nt first seemed willing to go to the
length Mr. Hepburn proposed.
Mr McCreary asked Mr. Hepburn if
his resolution would in any way ame
liorate the condition of the Armenians.
Mr. Hepburn said:
"I wnnt this protest to mean some
thing when it goes abroad and not to
fall on deaf curs. What does England
care, with her millions invested, for our
protests? Europik might he startled by
a drastic and unusual step. Turkey was
scanning the bills presented by the unf
ed States and meantime the murder nnd
rape went on." ,.
Mr Hepburn endeavored to formal!)
offer the amendment, but his time had
expired and lie was unable to secure rec
ognition for it.
Mr. Henderson (Rep.) of Iowa, speak
ing of the Berlin treaty, said:
"The civilized world in equity have
become parties to thnt contract."
Grave responsibility lay nt the door
of every civilized nation of Europe that
had power to enforce the contract upon
Turkey. While he was opposed to war
except as a hist resort, he said:
"I would be glad if every line of that
resolution was shotted with lead for the
murderers of the Turkish government.
Not the Turkish minister, but the Brit
ish bondholders should bear the brunt
of blame."
Mr. A da ins (Ren.) of Pennsylvania de
clared the tendency which he saw in both
houses of conirress to encroncli uiKill
the prerogatives of the executive in dip
lomatic mutters. When no American cit
izen had been killed in the outrages in
1'iirkev it would be hue recognition ot
the fact to give the Turkish minister his
passports.
Mr. Smith Ken.) ot .Michigan told oi
n man of his district, a graduate of the
University ot Chicago, who, with Amer
ican passports, was seized and chained
in a Turkish dungeon.
Mr. Bowers (Rep.) of California said
that he ,vas not in sympathy with the
Christian people who always wanted war
averted and their missionaries protect
ed. So long as the house was assured
that the resolution meant nothing wlutt-
ver, there could be no harm m passing
it.
Mr. Hepburn's resolution was then of
fered nnd Mr. McCreary made the point
of order against it that it contemplated
an net which must be approved by the
president.
The speaker overruled the point ot or
der, 'whereupon Mr. Quigg said that
when u man was doing something ob
jectionable iu his own household, the
only way to make him stop wns to ask
him or make him.
The ministers in Turkey would be giv
en their passports and many Americans
would be left at the mercy of the Turks.
An amendment was offered bv Mr.
Tn ft (Rep.) of Ohio which follows:
Kesolved, lhat the conscience of Im
munity fastens upon the six Christian
powers above nnnied and the resnonsi
bility for the continuance of the butch
ery of Armenian citizens. That the
spectacle of these rix leading powers tier.
iniuiiiK me inurucr or Liinstions who

A BAD MAN RUNS AMUCK.
A Sensational Affair Occurs in a Little
Town in Northenst lexas.
i..,.ii Toy.. .Tan. 27. (Special.) Hon. '
ey tirove was the scene of a highly sen
sational affair last night, in which a num
ber of people came near losing their lives
on account of a husband's jealous rage.
Several weeks ago Thursden Wilker
son got himself in jail for violating the
locul option low. m ucn no gov out lie
went home, and, it is nlleged, gave his
ivife n severe beating. She was in a deli
cate condition nt the time nnd gave pre
mature birth to a child, which came nenr
causing her death. He was arrested for
this, and as soon as ins wue recovered
his examining trial was held, at which
his wife testified ns to his treatment of
her. On Saturday he was relensed on
bond. Last niirht he went to the house
where she wns stopping, entered the room
where she wns nlone nnd told her he hnd
come to kill her. She begged him to
spare her, us she only told what she wns
compelled to. Wilkcrson drew a pistol,
but she gmppieu wuu mm, unu us ne
pulled the trigger the hummer caught
the flesh on her hnnd between the thumb
and forefinger. Dr. Johnson nnd his
wife, who were iu another pnrt of the
house, heard the struggle and ran into
the room. As they did so Wilkcrson
jerked the pistol loose, tearing his wife's
bund in n ghastly manner, aim nred on
Mrs. Johnson. Johnson wrested the pis
tol from Wilkerson's grnsp. Wilkerson
then dealt the doctor a stunning blow nnd
ran. The doctor pursued him into the
streets nnd fired three shots at him. Wil
kcrson ran into another house, nnd when
Dr. Johnson followed him there he was
set upon by several men, who did not
understand what had happened, and wns
roughtly handled. Wilkcrson went b
another place with the police and sev
eral citizens in hot pursuit. When they
approached him ho seized a chair and
struck several savage blows, one of which
landed on the head of Will Bryant,
knocking him down nnd indicting nn ugly
scalp wound. He wns finally overpow
ered. The nffnir caused n great sensntion nnd
some of the more impetuous wanted to
lynch Wilkerson. Hod he succeeded in v
killing anybody they would undoubtedly
have made short work of him. Wilker-
son is of nn excellent family and his wife
is a most estimable lady.
AN OLD SOLDIER'S RECOMMEN
DATION. In the late war I wns a soldier in the
First Maryland volunteers, company G.
During my term of service I contracted1
chronic diarrhoea. Since then I have
used n great amount of medicine, but
When I found nny thnt would give me re
lief it would injure my stomach, until
Chamberhiiu's Colic, Cholera nnd Diar
rhoea Remedy wns brought to my notice.
I used it nnd will sny it is the only rem
edy that gave me permanent relief and
no bad results follow. I take pleasure
in recommending this prepnrntion to all
of my old comrades, who, while giving
their services to their country, contracted
this dreadful disease as I did, from eating
unwholesome nnd uncooked food. Yours

ANENT THURSTON'S RECALL.
Private Secretory of the Lute Mr.
Oroshoin Tolls What He Knows.
Chicago, Jan. 28. "Lorin A. Thurston
bogged Secretary Gresham not to for
ward his letter of recall to Honolulu,"
said K. M. Landis, who was the private
secretary of the dead secretary of state,
and offered, if the letter was not sent,
to immediately return to Hawaii and
tender his resignation ns minister to this
country."
TTM,r- I-,nn,lis returned to Chicago today.

against Greshnin and President Clcve
As,tllp Private secretary and con
ndont of Gresham during the Inst year
of life, he said:
"Long prior to the recall of Thriiston

to the members of the diplomtic corps

taken that turn. Ho left the office
apologizing for the matter and promising
thnt it should not occur again.

This attack on the administration, which
ihurstoii admitted newspaper men to
copy m ins office, came on the statement
ot J hnrston, not from his office, but the
minister of foreign affairs of Hawaii,

country. As I understand it, Hatch
himself prepared the mntter and it was
forwarded to Thurston for dissemination.
