Edito it Nkwr-Chmoniclk :
The brewers are after their
pound of fleah and say they are
going to have it or know the rea-
son why. They made a personal
appeal to McKinley for the re-
duction of the tax on beer, but
that gentleman had no idea of
handling anything carrying ho
much political dynamite, ho he
paaaed the question along to the
republican members of the house
waya and meant committee, and
■they turned the brewers down.
Then the brewers announced
their intention to carry the fight
on to the floor of congress, and
Home of them hint at the expos-
ure of some campaign secrets, if
pledges made to them that there
should be a reduction in the beer
tax are not redeemed. It is said
that a sufficient number of re-
publican senators and represen-
tative!) gave their pledges to the
brewers for campaign assistance
to force the insertion of a clause
reducing the beer tax in the bill
that will be reported from tin-
ways and means committee, if
they can be made to stand up
and demand it of their party as-
sociate*, and this the brewers
say they can and will do. There
may be some lively times in
-congress over tin bill.
Tom Reed made his debut as
a lobbyist this week, but he did
i( openly, not sneakingly as so
many ex*membirs do. He said
that he came to Washington in,
behalf of clients to find out what
reductions the committer on
ways and means intended mak-j
injf, and it is presumed he found
out. tho the public has not vet
done so with iinv degree of ac-
curacy.

As the number of senators and
representatives in Washington
increases it becomes more ap-
parent that there is serious op-
position to the Hanna - Payne
whip subsidy bill. A few repub-
licans oppose the bill «>11 general
principles, hut the most of the
opposition appears to be to the
present shape of the bill its
marked favoritism toward a cer-
tain class of ship owners. It is
yet doubtful whether this oppo-
sition is strong enough to en-
danger the passage of the bill.
It may be, but it is more likely
that some <>f the republicans who
are talking doubtf illv about the
bill can be easily pbnated" bv
the president, who Wishes the
bill passed, and that others can
be whipped into line by the dec-
laration of a party cam us in fa-
vor of the bill. Still there 1
enough uncertainty about it to
cause uneasiness among those
who are personal!\ interested 111
the measure. Representative
Burton, of Ohio, chairman of the
house committee on rivets ami
harbors, who has been threat-
ened .vith political death by l!os>,
Hanna because he annotim . «I
his opposition to the ship sub-
sidy bill, said on the subject: I
am dead against the prim i pie
involved in the bill. It has not
been endorsed in parts i.imus,
and the parts is not committed
to its passage, for the reason
that the national platform does
not endorse the bill. I contend
that the object of this measure
in not to upbuild the merchant
marine of the I'nited States, and
1 do not favor the bill. I have
nothing to say as to Mr. Ilanna's
opposing the river and harbor;
bill. I do not believe he will do,
anything of the kind." Ohio i
democrats are delighted with
the prospect of a bitter light be-
tween Hanna and Burton and
that it will make the ntatc
democratic if fought to a finish.

Clen. Charles P. Kagan, of em-
balmed beef notoriety, is now in
Washington seeking a pardon
and rewtoration to duty. He
wants vindication, which is a
little cheeky, in view of the gen-
eral opinion of the public that
his suspension for six years with
full pay- $7,00U a year, and al-
lowances wan more than len-
ient. Some time ago an offer
was made to rentore Kagan to
duty if he would immediately
apply for retirement, but he de-
clined because his pay on the re-
tired lint would be only $5,625 a
year. Under the law he will not
reach the age of compulsory re-
tirement until January lb, 1905,
but there is talk of getting a bill
through congress authorizing
the president to place upon the
retired list any officer in the
army, navy or marine corps un-
der suspension for a longer pe-
riod than one year. It is said
that McKinley has promised to
restore Kagan to duty.
The death of Senator Davis,
of Minnesota, is very sincerely
mourned by his colleagues, re-
gardless of party. As Senator
Martin, of Virginia, truly said
ol him: "in the senate his opin-
ion was as highly regarded by
the minority as by his own par-
ty." As chairman of the com-
mittee on foreign relations, Sen-
ator Davis personally drew up
the declaration of war against
Spain, which congress adopted,
and later, as one of the peace
commissioners, he helped to ne-
gotiate the treaty of peace with
Spain. The appointment of a
successor to serve until the leg-
islature tills the vacancy is in
the hands of (iovernor Liud,
but it is not known in Washing-
ton whether he will appoint a
democrat or a republican, though
some think the honor may go
to ex-Representative Charles A.
Towne. The legislature will, of
course, elect a republican in Jan-
uary. The same legislature will
also elect a successor to Senator
Nelson, who is willing to suc-
ceed himself. This will add an-
other to the unusual number of
legislatures that will elect two
senators at the same session.

Rditok Nkws-Chnoniclk:
According to promiae, I will
give a description of my trip
from Brownwood to Seymour.
We left the home of our friend
in Brownwood on the 6th of this
month.
Brownwood is a large and
beautiful town, situated on the
west side of Pecan Bayou. This
town has all the appearances of
being one of much wealth.
From Brownwood we went to
Coleman City, panning through
two small towns, Bangs and Santa
Anna. The latter is a beautiful
little town, situated on the .south
side of a range of mountains.
Coleman City is not a very
large town. Coleman county is
mostly a stock country and,
therefore, the town does not
build up very rapidly, (irass is
very fine and the cattle all look
well. It is very thinly nettled
between Coleman City and Baird.
The distance is forty-five miles,
though one would think it was
sixty, as you will travel ten and
twelve miles without seeing a
house. There is a creek about
fifteen miles north of Coleman
City where we nooned one day,
and spent a pleasant time gath-
ering pecans. We camped about j
twenty miles from Baird that;
night. Next morning we awoke '
to lind the wind blowing from!
the north and raining and de- ¡
cided it would be better to trv'
I
and go to Baird that day than to
camp out that night. So we
traveled all day, facing the wind!
and rain, arriving in town about!
5 o'clock in the afternoon. Se-|
curing a wagon yard to stay in.!
we remained till Monday. Itj
ceased raining Friday night,!
though the wind blew hard from!
the north until Sunday night, i
Baird is thriving little town, as
it ia in the center of n fine farm-
ing country.
We left Baird Monday morn-
ing, arriving at Albany the aame
night. Albany ia not a very
large town. From there we went
to Throckmorton. Throckmor-
ton is not much of a business
town. There is no railroad near.
We traveled about fifteen miles
this side of Throckmorton and
camped. The wolves gathered
about our camp and howled all
night, keeping us awake most of
the time. There are a great
many wolves north of Throck-
morton.
We arrived in Seymour about
3 o'clock on the 15th. Seymour
is a very pretty place. We are
now three miles south of Sey-
mour on the Brazos river, and
here we expect to stay this win-
ter.
Baylor county is a fine farming
county. There ia still a great
deal of cotton in the fields and
will be for some time, as there
arc no hands to hire. Cotton
picking is seventy-five cents to
one dollar per hundred.
One farmer, A. A. Andrews,
had twenty-five acres of corn
this year which made 75 ) bush-
els. He had twenty-five acres in
cotton and will make nineteen
bales. Another man made 6,000
bushels of corn on 200 acres and
about (>5 bales of cotton on 100
acres. The people here are do-
ing well.
I have tried to give you a de-
scription of my trip, and if any
of my friends ever start on such
a journey, I hope they will have
as pleasant a time as I had.
Wishing success to the Nkws-
Ciikonici.i. ard its readers, I bid
you all farewell.
