THE WEEKLY BANNER.
BV RANKIN S. LEVIN.
THURSDAY, - - OCT. 7, 18S1.
Agcording to the Houston
Post, the Adjutant General
when applied to for state troops
to defend Kendall at his com
ing trial in Washington county,
said if a criminal cannot be
tried in one of the best coun
ties m the state without the aid
of military force, civil law had
best be abolished and martial
law declared at once.
An Austin special to the Gal
veston News says that each
time Kendall has been tried at
San Saba for killine Brown,
frontier troops have been de
tiiled for his protection. He is
soon to be tried here at Bren
ham, but the adjutant general
refuses troops saying the volun
teer militia here can give pro
tection if needed.
AUtica special says that
senator Jones, of Nevada, has
had a long conference with Mr.
Conkling. A good deal of
gossip was indulged in, but the
purpose of the conference did
not transpire. It is generally
Relieved that the result of the
tonference will be an early and
important change in affairs at
Washington.
It seems from last week's
,! Gonzales Inquirer that the edi-
' tor of that paper was attacked
by a deputy sheriff for having
-n'hVierr! Ins official acts. The
official acts of all officers are
the legitimate subject of criti
cism hv both the oeoole and
! the newspapers and the officer
wlio nopes 10 escape cnuuisui
should be remarkably circum
spect. On Monday the collections
for the Garfield monument re
ceived at Cleveland amounted
to $loyj and the total sum to
i?fiira Sst.t. If the reaui-
site sum is not subscribed in
the very near future the patriot
ism of the people will wane and
the money to build die monu
ment will never be raised. The
Americans are not by any
means a monument building
people.
At an examination of the
Iron Mountain train robbers at
Hope, Arkansas, last Saturday
the identity of the train robbers
was established beyond any
controversy; the men were iden-
tiffed by no less than fourteen
wn
TBa
witnesses. J. hey were neld in
onds of SSooo each. Gov.
hurchill will make an effort to
ave a special term of the cir-
cia'kcotfrt held for the immedi-
f'i ate trial and conviction of the
- 4 robbers.

In an editorial on the pro
based state bank a dav or two
ago. the Banner stated that it
would be used for political pur
ooses. The San Antonio Ex
press referring to the proposi
tion says: "It would create S
vast political machine through
which the state could be plun
dered and the people would be
powerless to avert the act." It
would be impossible to keep
politics out of such an institu
tion. It seems to be a foregone
conclusion that the democrats
will elect a president pro tern.
of the senate. They will have
a majority in that body when
they assemble as the newly
I elected members from New
tVork and New Jersey can not
be admitted before the senate
organized. If the republi-
Jiad a majority under sim-
they would

Uncoil and Hour.
Some of the papers arc Al
ready warning the people to
look out for hard times. All
kinds of provisions, flout'and
hog products are advancing in
prices. Bacon at 15 to 16 cents
per pound is enough to make
the average farmer, who is
compelled to buy at these fan
cy prices, open his eyes. The
papers throughout the state
have for many years urged far
mers to raise their own pork
and it is more than likely that a
season's experience in buying
bacon at what may reasonably
be termed fabulous prices, will
at least put many of them to
dunking, if not to acting. Hogs
are as easily raised as chickens,
and if they are all lost once in a
while from cholera, drouth or
some other accident it is no
reason why raising them should
be abandoned. If a farmer will
take care of three or four head
of improved breeds of hogs and
and properly fatten them he
will be able to make more ba
con and lard from them than
he would from ten head of the
old style razor-back rooters,
and every one of the razor
backs will cat as much or more
food than the good ones. The
Banner is fully aware that in
.advising farmers it treads on
very dangerous and what some
farmers regard as sacred ground,
they holding that a newspaper
has no right to advise farmers,
as thefarmer understands hi j bus
iness. This may be true in some
instances, but not iru all. That
hogs have been successfully
raised mWashington county.will
hardly be denied, so the propo
sition holds good if hogs have
been raised in the past they can
be raised in the future. Expe
rience is the only school that
imparts knowledge worth hav
ing ; the reason is, experience
is a school that costs money and
sometimes plenty of it, and
when one has paid dearly for
his learning he knows how to
appreciate and value it. Now
those who buy bacon this fall
and winter and pay 16 cents, a
nnund for it", will buv exDeri-
ence at the same time, and if
they make proper use of their
experience they will endeavor
the next year to raise their own
meat If the money that is
sent out of this county every
year or flour and bacon could
be kept at home, the farmers
would all be in a fair way to
get rich. The number "'of car
loads of bacon and flour jthat
are annually received at Bren
ham would astonish any pne
who had not given the matter
serious thought All this ba
con and flour has to be paid for
out of the proceds of the cotton
crop. Docs it pay to sell cot
ton at 10 cents a pound and
buy bacon at 16?
Tnc-San-Antonio Light de
fends the character of Mr. Ar
thur and says that his removal
from the New York custom
house by Mr. Hayes was for
political reasons and not for
dishonesty. In this connection
it may not be amiss to renjark
that there is entirely -00 much
disposition to abuse opposite
parties. Neither party can see
any honesty in the other and
when a political canvass is in
progress both parties become
wholly unscrupulous in the
charges they bring against their
opponents. If't wert possible
for a man to lay asie'e all pol
itical prejudices sad like a
disinterested view rf candidates
before the people n a strictly
partizan race it wuld certainly

HOODLUMS.
iyThe meaning of the word,
r
rowdyism, is pretty generally
understood, but in the past few
years a newer and much more
expressive word has been in
troduced from the Pacific coast,
hoodlum. The hoodlum com
bines all the bad qualities that
belong to the rowdy and in ad
dition to them adds all of those
belonging to the loafer. There
is frequent cases where work
ing men act the part of the
rowdy, but your genuine hood
lum, is above work, he
would consider it a disgrace
to have any ligitimatc or hon
est employment. His highest
ambition is to obtain possession
of a six-shooter and he trusts to
his"-shapc and his wits for the
balance; if he can catch an in
nocent youth or man from the
country he will ring in on him,
act the part of his confident
friend, treat him to a drink out
of a private flask which he car
rier in his pocket, carefully pre
pared and flavored for the pur
pose. The countryman is then
steered into some deadfall
where he is perhaps induced to
bet on some put up game and
has about as much chance of
winning as a healthy and sane
duck" has of committing suicide
by drowning. If the game docs
not do its work the pocket flask
never fails; the victim finds
himself asleep on the street
without any money and is ar
rested for being drunk and
down. The hoodlum makes
his living by robbing such as
those described abovc.or he may
.sometimes become a little bold
er and resort to highway rob
bery, or mask himself and rob
innocent and unsuspecting
farmers by calling on them at
night The hoodlum is a cow
ard at heart and seldom attacks
any one on a fair and equal
footing, his object is always to
get the drop. Nearly every
community has its hoodlums;
they fire to be seen Dn the
streets, by day and at night can
be found at the deadfalls or
about tne different houses of
prostitution, where with six
shooter in hand they act the
part of the blustering bully, and
not only assist in robbing such
countrymen and railroaders as
may happen to visit those
places, but to pu: the women
up to robbery and afterwards
themselves rob the 'women.
The hoodlum is a terror to all
peaceable citizens; his ways are
both evil and dark, he is not at
all likely to confront anyone,
but would have no hesitation to
shoot at him from around a cor
ner or behind a fence. An
almost universal complaint
comes from all parts of the
state of the increased lawless
ness on the part of characters,
like those of whom a pen-pic-ture
is presented. Horse steal
ing is increasing at a rate that
make the owning of a horse
absolutely dangerous. Within
a radius often miles of Brcn
ham since last Saturday night
there has becnjicrliaps half a
dozen -horses stolen. The
horses did not steal themselves,
neither were they stolen by
green hands at the business; a
stolen horse must ic carried
from thirty to fifty or one hun
dred miles before it can be dis-
posee of with any degree of
safety to the thief. If the Ban
jjlr is not very much mistaken
horse-stealing, hoodlumism,
highway robbery and masked
visitors to farm houses at meat
arc all very intimately connect
ed. A little good detective
service in the neighborhoods
where horse stealing and rob
bery are- common would, no
doubt, result in t!C arrest of
parties whom perhaps a portion
of the community would never
have suspected. It behoves
the officers of every neighbor
hood where hoodlumism,
rowdyism, robbery and pistol
shooting is carried on to bestir
themselves and arrest the of
fenders no matter who they may
proVe to be, nor what their
gmily connections arc.
