Pnbllo Library
Dallas' is agitating the ques
tion of a public library and
reading-room. Such an institu
tion is a benefit to any town or
city, but it seems to be a most
difficult matter to get one es
tablished on a firm basis. About
a year ago, Brenham, after a
great deal of hard work and an
immense expenditure of wind,
started a public library and
reading-room with flourish of
trumpets and beating of drums.
The reading-room was-kept"
open at night for several months
during the hot summer months,
but the attendance was very
small, and no interest being
taken in keeping the room up,
'.t died a natural death. Since
that time, the subject of a reading-room
has not been mention
ed. The Brenham Literary
Sociable has been, organized
for nearly .two years, and .has
maintained its weekly meetings!"
the exercises consisting ' of
music and readings. The socie
ty is composed of the elite of
the city, and we would suggest
that they .take the necessary
steps to found a public library
and reading-room on a basis by
which it can be maintained.
We have no doubt butthat many
paying members could be ob
tained, and also, donations of

prove beneficial,- no -one can
doubt Because tllB first at

no.reason why another trial

, ' No .Nominations -
The Colorado Citizen says "a
number of leading-Democrats
haVe expre'ssedUhemselves as
opposed to a county convention'
for the nomination oi county
officers. The Democracy is in
a majority in this-county and
they believe we stand a. better
chance to -secure" good officers
by omitting the' usual -convention."
T
There seems to be a disposi-1
tion in a good many counties to
ido away with county conven
tions. Colorado being a neigh
boring county, we shall watch
the result with no little, interest.
.The feeling in Colorado, wheie-
the Democracy are in a minori
ty, is, that without making par
ty nominations, a good" county
ticket can be elected. Should
they be able to accomplish this
very desirable end, it will be
much better than nominating a
ticket that they feel will be
beaten. Colorado is one of the
Senegambian counties,. a

The Emperor Williams, while,
taking a drive on Sunday, after
noon in Berlin, was fired 'upon
from-the window of ahoiise.
The emperor was severely'
wounded in .one arm andj)n the
cheek by buck shot and small,
shot. His assassin was "J3r.
Nobeling, a 'doctor of philology
and agriculture. Hejs a highly-educated
"gentleman, and in
good circumstances. Nobeling;
fired on the persons who at
tempted to arrest him 'ahdthen
inflicted several wounds in his
own head. His condition is
critical. He attempted to kill
the emperor because he believ
ed the emperor's removal would
be a public good. It is not
claimed that Nobeling is insane.

The Washington Savrefer
r.ng .to the passage by the
House of the bill appropriating
520,000 for the expense of the
Potter investigating -committee,
says: "Alter the benate pass
es it, the bill will have to go to
the president for his signature,
and if he signs it, he will be aid
ing what is called a revolutiona
ry committee witn money to
conduct its operations." '
The Cincinati Euquiicrs mak
ing of the Pottcr-Tildcn inves
tigation says, the foolishness
will have, or has had the effect
of consolidating the Republican
party to some extent, and that,
certainly is not a Democratic ad
vantage. The frauds areknown
to all men. Why play a game
with nothing to win? There
is always something to lose.
The Dallas Hnald says that
the Brenham Greys intimate
that they will accept the chal
lenge of the Stonewall Greys,

THE "LEADER ON HANCOCK.
The Austin Lender, a weekly
paper, professedly non-partizan,
but republican in principles, en
dorses the Fayette county;
Record's nomination of Han
cock for congress. . and- gvs it
will support
ence to
district.
ittcia
hope the)tp1cen'ss will
put Judge Hancockin thc-field
and tlect, independent of party."
It then-threatens the Democra
cy with defeat, and the sure
election of Wash Jones if any
man .other than its man Han
cock be nominated. The Leader
is an obscure sheet without any
political influence whatever, and
its vaporings amount to nothing.
The Democracy of this district
are largely in-the majority, and
should Shepard'fic the choice
of the convention, as we have
every reason to believe he will
be, he will carry the district by
a majority that will not only a's
tonish Leader and his Leadet,
but every other Jones man and
Republican. From a journal
istic stand-point, the Leadet
transcends its duty .in advoca
ting Hancock by dubbing Shep
ard'a third-rate politician and
then" charging that any v other
.man except t Hancock who
should. aspireitp the-position as
a mere politician. As a politi
cian, Hancock himself, pcrhap's,
comes as near filling the bill --as
any man who could be found in
-the State. In this "casc the
Leadet ,ildi evidently inhab
itsV glass house, should not be
giiiltyof throwing stones. The
Democracy of this district" arc
fully competent to select their
own standard bearer and will
probably.-do so iii'spite of the
ipse dixit o.f a mere Republican
sheet aided and abetted by Col.
Wash JOnes, the political mon
tebank,' Greenbacker and Re
publican Jones party candidate. '
Mr. Hancock will certainly gain
no friends by such an advocacy
of Ills claimsas that of theCAus
tin Leader. It has long since
been made as plain as daylight
that abuse of political oppo
nents makes more enemies than
friends for the man or party re
sorting to it, and the declara
tion made' that all save Han
cock are "mere politicians" is
very apt to recoil upon the advo
cate not only of his'claims.-but
upon M,r. Hancock himself.'

The Waco 'Examiner still
harps on class, legislation. It
insists that farmers should
have more representation
and that Lang is the man to
represent, them. Lang livesjn
the town "of Marlin and owns a"
-farm iii Falls county which he
has cultivated by coiciicts.
Lang in reality is no more a
farmer than a merchant in town
who owns a farm which Iiehas
cultivated by hired labor. From
present-indications the choice
of the. people lays between
Hubbard and - Throckmorton.
Should Mr. Lang get .the nonii-

It is more than likely the po
tato, as a field crop, will be
abandoned in Texas. In Wash

gram. --
It is true that potatoes were
cxtensivcty planted in Wash
ington county, but untrue that
the yield was good At the
time rain was most needed for
potatoes the weather was dry,
and this, combined with late
planting, made the crop nearly
a failure. The potato crop
should in fact have all been
shipped by the- time -the first
shipment was made.
