BROWNSVILLE. TEXAS
TUESDAY FEB.2 18i7.
The stockmen are keeping
an eye on tbe legislature. Some
of the solons who know as
ranch about the stock interests
of the stale as a porker knows
.about Sunday are attempting
at pass laws which iil ma-
terially affect the stockmen.
The most important tele
graph station "in the United
States just now is Canton
wino. J he least mmutae of
the president elect's daily life
are faithfully described by the
intelligent press correspondent.
It is not yet known how many
times a day the p residential
nose elect is blown but this
oversight will doubtless soon
be remedied.
Some East Texas farmers are
troubled wiith Johnson grass
in their iields hence the legis
Mature is thinking of passing
laws for the Eradication of one
' of the most important grasses
in the state. There i'j said to
be no other grass which affords
8urh nutritious and abundant
paslarage or makes such ex-
cellent hay or yields so great
profit to pasture ownews. At
the same time this grass may
be easily gotten rid of by farm
ers who do not desire its growth
on tbelr lands. It is to be
hoped the solons may by head
ed off before they do any dam
age to the most important in-
' lerests of tbe great soutnwest
half of tbe state.

Recent reports from New
York demonstrative fact that
the money which is needed in
the country geneially Is con
centrated in New York and is
being held there for speculation
in money Itself and in bond
and other quick transactions
rather than for Investment in
industrial or. business -enter
prises. It is reported that more
than one third of the 1600
000000 of the money of the
country is now on deposit In
New York banks a larger sum
t!i ail has been held before "for
years. The "confidence" that
followed McKinley's election
appears to have been a con
fidencein Hew York vaults. It
is the system which enables
the New York financiers to
corner the money of the coun
try while leaving the Nation at
large to sufferothat Mr. Bryan
Is seeking to strike down and
it will be no matter for sur-
piise so long as this system
continues to see bankb or other
enterprises ''collapse."
AN EMPRESS' FKOCKS.
The Gentlewoman says that
almost all the morning drpsses
worn by the German Empress
are made at home and her
.Majesty in this way is able to
economize greatly. When in
private she liks to be dressed
as simply as possible and her
favorite costume is a serge
skirt with a pretty blouse and
a simple straw hat. She iias
however one great trial and
that is a tendency to grow
stout. For himself she would
not mind but the Emperor has
a horror of having a fat wife
and the poor pmpress is oblig-
ed to diet herself and to wear
clothes much too fight for her.
This is said to be the greatest
trial of her life as the Emperor
is alwaj's advising her what to
do and insists upon her taking
an immense amount of exercise.
Her Majesty however has still
a shapely figure and she is
less stout than she was a year
ago.

Inaugural.
Dallas Tex. Jan. 29. Presi
dent E. H. R. Green of the
TexasMidland railroad has add
ed a handsome X-rays ma-
chine to his collectioa of scien
tific instrumentsvon his private
car. Last night he ard his
secretary remained up till a
late hour experimenting- with
it. Mr. Lacy the company
electrician was .somewhat start
led when he saw his own bones
through the ray. Mr. Green
tested the machine on "Sir
Philip" Rauche his private sec
retary who is of rather slender
build and laughing remarked
that he wanted to see whether
there was "anything really in
him."
It is likely that Mr. Green
will spend one day in Dallas
on political matters very short
ly and then leave for St. Louis
and Chicago At Chicago he
is likely to meet his mother
Mrs. Hetty Green who visits
that city to attend court in the
case of Cornell vs. Green
which comes up about the 1 2th
of February. From Chicago
Mr. Green will go to Wash
insfton to attendtheinaug-ural
he being on one of the special
j committees along with Con
gressman Hawley of Galves
ton the only republican con
gressman from Texas. At
Washington Mr. Green will
meet General Huston and
many others whom he knows
personally and will remain
there probably a week or ten
days. He is much interested
in seeing Perry Heath made
private secretary to President
McKinley. It is also said that
he thinks ex-Minister to Bel-
cnum E. H. Terrell of San An-
tonio who was on the plenary
committee in Judge Ogden's
place during the late cam-
paign will likely be appointed
minister to Italy. He seems
well suited for the place and
Texas should Vet what honors
she can. Mr. Green also goes
to New York from Washing-
ton so that it will likely be the
end of IV'a ch before he re
turns to Texas.
Mr. Green's Dallas friends
would like to see him made
consul or minister at some im-
portant foreign port. They
say he has the ambition youth
and ability necessary and
wealth enough to keep up the
reputation of Texas.

MITCHELL FISH "
AND OYSTER "LaW.
j Port Lavaca Calhoun Co.
Tex. Jan. 29. The attempt
being- made to repeal the Mitch
ell fish and oyster law atjand beard and a figure emaciat
Austin has aroused the friends
of the bill here and the mem-
bers of the legislature will hear
from the other side. The meas
ure is radically sustained by
public sentiment. The whole-
sale dealers ot Port Lavaca
who ship to Victoria and even
the boatmen who bring sup-
plies to market will oppose a
repeal ol the measure while
they wish features of it chang-
ed. Port Lavaca is the lead-
ing oyster if not the leading
fish depot of the state and the
bill has led to the organization
of companies which are engag
ed in oyster culture as in
Maryland Connecticut Vir-
ginia and other states. -

RUM AGAINST THE
TEMPERANCE PLEDGE
Boston Mass. Jan. 27. The
frozen body of a miserably
dressed man with matted hair
ed from want was found frozen
in the ice of the reservoir pond
of the wool scouring works in
East Weymouth this morning.
No one knows how lonsf it had
been lying there. It was ne
cessary to chop it free from the
ice with axes. In one pocket
of the ragged coat was found
a total abstinence pledge such
as Francis Murphy the tempe
ranee- apostle is distributing
at his meetinp-s here. The
name signed to the pledge was
illegible. In the other pocket
was a half pint bottle partly
full of rum. The man was evi
dently a tramp. While intoxi-
cated he had fallen down the
bank into the pond and was
drowned. When the recent
cold wave came the body was
incased in the ice. Some peo-
ple thought they recognized in
the Qfaunt fiomre Morris Con-
nell once a shoemaker here
who went to the bad and wan
dered away some years ago.
The body will be buried by the
town of Weymouth.

THE TROCHA.
Inquiry is often heard as to
the exact meaning- of the word
"trocha" used in connection
with the war in Cuba. Origi
nally it denotes a footpath or a
"short cut." The trocha in
Cuba says an exchange is a
fortified hip-h road extending-
almost entirely across the is
land. It was built by the
Spaniards to prevent the
marching and countermarch
ing of the insurgents from one
end of the island to the other.
In approaching the trocha the
first impediment encountered
consists of a barbed wire fence
three and a half feet in height.
Behind this are posts of senti
nels made of paimetto leaves.
Forty yardsgback of those ex
tends a ditch three feet deep
and four feet wide. This is
protected by a rampart of
trunks of palmetto trees.
About another forty yards be
