AS TO COTTON.
The Present
vorahle
Situation Decidedly
to Cotton Producers.
(From Tuesday's Daily.)
The present situation is decidedly fav
orable to cotton producers. About
three-fourths of the present cotton crop
has been accounted for and the slate of
the figures indicates an upward tendency
iu the cotton market. The world's vis
ible supply, according to tlx latest relia
ble figures obtainable, of nil kinds of cot
ton is 4,118,i:i(( bales, a decrease of cot
ton in sight compared with last year of
720,115 bales, a decrease of 4NJt,478 com
pared with 1804, and of 25:t,721 coin
pared with 18!l,'(. The estimate for the
crop of IS! 15 is now placed at (i,'500,000
nales, Doing L'liii.ooo hales smaller than
the crop of 18!IH.
With this decrease in the crop the con
sumption of cotton in England has in
creased very greatly. The strikes in the
milling districts have ended and the con
sumption per week is ,'I2,(H)0 bales more
than were used in ISD.'t. American con
sumption is also increasing, anil many
new mills were built last year and others
will be built this year, rartieiilarly will
the consumption id' cotton by Southern
mills be increased.
While the demand in Europe is increas
ing the slocks in European ports will
not likely be exhausted. The producers
of cotton have brought the production to
a point where the figures on cotton esti
mates are based upon favorable terms to
tliein, and the present short crop has
iiIhiuI produced this state of affairs.
Now, what will they do with this ad
vantage they have gained after a serious
experience.' Will they strive to make
a yield counting up 10,(11)0,000 bales or
more, or will they Htick to diverHilied
iiirming ami loon crops i lie experience
of 18!ir should teach them not to reckless
ly abandon the strong position thev now
occupy anil not to give up other money'
malting crops for the Hake of the irlorv at
tached to growing the biggest cotton crop
ever produced, ami which will bring them
in drill.

They are genuine objects of compassion

THE POPULIST MEf 1ING
THE TRAVIS COUNTY EXECUTIVE
MEETING IN SESSION YES
TERDAY. DEMAND PURITY Of THE Bill.
And Call On All Their Followers to See
to It That All Elections Are Held
On the Dead Square The
Meeting.
(From Sunday's Daily.)
The Travis county executive commit
tee of the Populist party met yesfcrduy
in the Knights of Pythias hall with about
30 members present.
Mr. Geo. Mendell resigned as chairman
and Mr. Geo. L. Walton was elected his
successor. .Mr. S. C. Oranuerry was
elected secretary and Mr. George AV.
Walling treasurer. The meeting ordered
a general primary election to be held
throughout the county on February 8
to select precinct members of the county
executive committee.
While no hnal action was taken with
reference to county or State politics sev
eral resolutions commendatory of the
National committees action were unan
imously passed.
Tho meeting was more for the purpose
of perfecting organization for the com
ing campaign than anything else, and
was therefore barren of sensational hap
pollings.
Among the resolutions adopted wns the
following, offered by .Mr. U. II. hullivnn
which was about the most interesting
passed upon:
Austin. Texas. Jan. 25. 18!Mi.
To the Pop.ilists of Travis County, TeX'
as, in Mass Meeting Assembled:
I beg to offer the following for your
earnest consideration:
Whereas, We have sufficient evidence
of fraud at, and in connection with the
ballot box, of almost every conceivable
character, that the minds of those who
perpetrate it are able to conceive of, to
detent the popular will ot the people, and
deprive them of equitable justice: and
believing, ns we do, that the people should
awaken to a full sense of this fast grow
ing evil, which is blasting our prosperity
and destroying the morals ot our youths,
who are just entering manhood, that the
people need solemn warning of tho
threatening dangers to Isdli political and
material welfare; that we believe it is
time spent for naught to be trying to
remedy the political or social condition
ot our country while we willingly allow
the rights of tho people to be robbed by
making merchandise out of the voter on
election day; and, believing, ns we do.
that an Honest election tends to an hon
est administration; thinking, as we do
that a party or an individual who stulti
lies itself to get olliee will most likely be
wholly dishonest towards the people after
he gets into olliee; that we, ns Populists,
believe that it is absolutely necessary for
the voter to leel there is some responsibil
ity resting upon him in order that w
have a government by the people and in
the interest of tho people; therefore, in
view of these premises; be it
Resolved, by the Populists of Travis
county, in mass meeting assembled, That
wo pledge ourselves, as a political party,
to use all legal means in our power in
the interest of nn honest election, which
we expect to be held m November, 1800
bo it farther
Resolved, That we pledge ourselves,
in case of suspicion or evidence of fraud
being practiced or any illegal procedure
ueiiig comiiuiicu ior me purpose or cnus'
ing tfie election to be decided in a milli
ner or way different from the will of a
majority of the peoole. should come to
our knolwedge either before the election
or after it has passed, to leave nothing
undone wo can do tinder any reason
able circumstances, to punish
mo guilty person or persons to the f u 1
extent ot the law.
And in order to more f ullv protect our
selves, and all hont-st men. against unv
encroachments of any enemy to these
resolutions, bo it further
Resolved, That we pledge ourselves
Individually and collectively, to be ready
lit nil times to assist in the enforcement
of these resolutions to the full extent of
law, for the sole purpose of securing
equitable justice to all men; be it further
Resolved, That we earnestly ask the
co-operation of all honest persons, re
gardless of party faith or political atlilia
tion, in tne support and enforcement of
these resolutions.
Unit we request every county in the
State to pass similar resolutions so as
to convince the people that we are do
termined to stand together like a band
of brothers for an honest action, even if
it becomes necessary to resort to arms
to secure it.
The following resolution was also
ndopted.
Resolved. 1 hat the Populist party of
l ravis county, in mass meeting ossein
bled, do most heartily endorse the ac
tion of our National executive commit
tee at St. Louis, and more especially for
fixing the tune of holding the National
Populist convention after the two old
parties have held their conventions, as
being eminently wise and proper.
I he subslnnee of the other resolutions
ndopted were that we must and shall
save a fair election and an honest count
The meeting adjourned subject to the
call of the chairman.

THE IDEAL PANACEA.
I From Wednesday's Daily.)
.lames L. Francis, alderman. Chicago,
says: "1 regard Dr. King's New Discov
ery as an ideal panacea for coughs, colds
and lung complaints, having used it in
my famiy for the last live years, to the
exclusion of physicians' prescriptions or
other preparations."
Rev. John Hurgus, Keokuk, la., writes:
"I have been a minister of the Methodist
Episcopal church for 50 years or more,
and have never found anything so bene
ficial, or that gave me such speedy re
lief, as Dr. King's New Discovery." Try
this ideal cough remedy now. Trial bot

CATARRH SYMPTOMS.
As DeserilsKl by Dr. Hnrtman in a
Recent Lecture.
"The symptoms vary according to the
place where the catarrh is located. Ca
tarrh in the head nose stopjied up; pain
in tin- forehead; scabs in nose, bad
breath: snoring; sneezing: waterv eves
Catarrh of the throat voice husky or

Catarrh of the stomach indigestion:
tongue coated; water brash; fullness af

Catarrh of the bronchial tubes cough;
puiii in chest; gradual loss of flesh; cough
worse night and morning; tightness in
upper portion of chest, and sometimes
night sweats. This form of catarrh will
soon end in consumption if not cured."
Dr. Hnrtman used Pe-ru-na in over
.'0,000 cases before it wus introduced to
the general public as a catarrh remedv.
Pe-ru-nn as a remedy for chronic catarrh,
whether in the head. nose, th rout, lnni'u
stomach, kidneys or bladder, has become
known all over the civilized portions of
North America. The reasons for which
Pe-ru-na has taken the lead of nil (.tlu.r

fails to cure when properly used; second,
it permanently cures instead of civim-
temporary relief: third, it cures clit-miir.

Janimrr V.l. IX'lli
Mr. J. Crottv:
Dear Sir Yours to hand with tbnnka
and must inform you that Bubear brought
the centipede home with him. I am
mucn obliged to you for giving Mr.
nuiiiii instructions regarding the nor-
traits I should like, but they have not
yet arrived, but perhaps may by the next
mini, nor nave i nearii trom Mr. Salge.
to whom I should be the last in the world
to do an injustice, ns I can testifv tn hia
earnest endeavors to mnke our crew com
fortable iu every way, nnd as for mv
saying nt any time that our men were
starved, that is n deliberate lie. as I
never put such a sentence to paper; in
fact, it Mr. Salge will recollect, I asked
him not to liut so much on our table, na
there wns always two or three pounds
of meat wasted each meal, and the men
sometimes ate more than was good for
their digestion. When I spoke of our
men not peing nine to get n good meal,
I meant it was while trnvelinir on the
runway; not so mucn ns to the quantity,
but the short time we had to tiik-o nnr
meals, and the varied diet we cot. mind
you. not finding fault with the caterers.
as we got the usual fare, but not the
kind of food that men in training for
such an event ns we were going for could
thrive on. I spoke more in explanation
of the poor condition some of our men
found themselves in than in any wish to
disparage the universal kindness shown
to us trom tho first day we left South
hampton until we again found ourselves
nt hoiqe. In fact, I can only again re
peat my words expressed nt a little
spread held at tbe-Driskill hotel that we
met with many kind friends m every

SHOT TIIROrGH THE LEG.
(From Monday's Daily.)
Yesterday morning Mr. Charles Tuciri
was shot in the leg through the careless
ness of some lxiys. He was out in the
yard at bis fathers home near Barton
reek looking nt some boys across the
river who were shooting some small
ritles. They were apparently shooting
into tho river, but one shot evidently did
not go there as it passed entirely through
Mr. Paggi's leg. and while the wound
is a painful one the attending physicians
say it will not necessarily prove fatal.
The boys were several hundred v.inls
away at the time of the shooting and it
is rather n ditheult matter to understand
bow the bullet had such force at this.

Our organization was begun last May,

preserve the unity of the party, that we
intended to make our fight for the adop

National convention, to submit to the
action of that convention nnd vote for its
nominees. On the other hand, our free

iu favor of free and unlimited coinage
of both gold and silver at the ratio of 10
to 1 bv this government alone, refuse to
declare their willingness to abide by the
notion of the National Democratic con
vention, or their purpose to support its
nominees if they fail to control the con
vention. Our State Democratic execu
tive committee at Dallas, on May 27 last,
adopted this resolution:
"Resolved, That it is the sense of this
committee that the question as to
whether the Democrats of this State
favor the free and unlimited coinage of
silver at the ratio of 10 to 1 or whether
they nre opposed to the same, iwill and
shall be submitted to the Democratic
voters of the entire State at such time
ns the committee determine, and that
such Question be so submitted in the
same primary election in which dele
gates are selected to the several conven
tions." At tho time this resolution was adopt
ed there wus one sound money member
of the committee, whom death has since
clnimed, and iu his place Mr. Dudley has
appointed a tree silverite. Another sounu
money member of the committee has re
signed, or has been removed by Chair
man Dudley (I have no information of
his having resigned) and a free silverite
mimed iu his stead. One of the commit
tee, n free silverite, has joined the Pop
ulists, and Chairman Dudley has his
place to fill. Chairman Dudley has
culled a meeting of the Democratic ex
ecutive committee to meet in Austin on
February 5. by winch tune doubtless hy
death or removal of sound money mem
bers and substitution by the chairman
of free silvcrites, the committee will he
comfortably tree silver. hat this com
mittee will do. as to calling conventions,
providing a test for participation in pri
maries, 1 do not know. The issue of the
free coinage nt 10 to 1, as against a sound
nnd holiest dollar, nnd other issues, will
remain still unsettled. Therefore, as
chairman of the sound money Democrats
of Texas, I respectfully call a meeting
of such Democrats to convene nt uat
veston on Saturday. February 15, 1800,
for the purpose of consulting and agree
ing upon a plan or pin us to oe pursueu
by us, and devising means ot nccoinpusu
ing our purpose in the opening cam
paign. Let me earnestly urge sound
money Democrats who think they may
have some ability to aid us, and who are
willing to make some personal sacrifices
for the good of our party and country,
to attend. Especially do I urge our com
mitteemen of counties and districts who
have already many of them done fine
work, to be present, nil of them, if pos
sible. We want courage and moderation,
zoul nnd wisdom. YVe want brave men
nnd true Democrats, and with fearless
united action, we will win a grander vic
tory in our next State convention than
we did in our last convention at Dallas.

In the case of Mary E. Campbell, of
Albion, Noble Co., Ind her suffering
was so severe, her relief so suddenly real
ized, and her gratitude so great, t hat eha
wishes the circumstances pub) thed, in
tho hope that others may be benehteU
thereby. She says:--
"My physician told me I had dropsy
nd falling of the womb. My stcmacU
and bowels were so bloated 1 could rot
get a full breath. My face and hands
were, bloated badly. I had that dreadful
bearing-down pain, backache, palpitation
of the heart, and nervousness.
"One of my physicians told me I had
tomething growing in my stomach; and
the medicine that I took pave me relief
only for a short time. I thought I musl
die. I began to tako Lydia E. Flh,f, 1
Vegetable Compound, and it worked lik
charm. After taking the first bottle
I could walk across the street, now I am
well. I advise all my friends to tak it.
