SATURDAY, Feb. 18, 1899.
PREVIOUS to last Saturday we
Texans thought we were having
some very cold weather and, in
fact, the winter had been unusually
severe for this latitude, but
it was mild compared to the
blizzard of Saturday and ,qnday,
the like of which was never
known south of Mason and
Dixon's line and would have been
counted severe in the extreme
northern states. We were given
a dose of the Klondyke climate
so suddenly and unlike anything
in our experience that now it
seems like a dream, but while it
listed no one doubted its being a
"cold faet." Boreas had evidently
concluded that this country
needed purging and blew a
breath almost cold enough to
freeze the mercury from the
rockies to the Atlantic and certainly
played havoc with the
"microbe" and insect kingdom.
It gave diversification a black eye
for wheat and stock have suffered,
while the ground has been
put in splendid shape for "King
Cotton." In this locality the
thermometer plunged down to
ten degrees below zero and landed
a solar plexus blow on the
record of the "oldest inhabitant'
that knocked him out completely.
The town people deserted
the streets, and there was very
little stirring those two memorable
days; the mains and hydrants
all froze up and artesian water
was out of the question; all the
fruits, vegetables and fluids in
the wooden stores froze and ice
formed blinds on the inside of
the glass doors and windows oj
the brick buildings. Mr. G. -E.
Cassidy says he had a fire in his
room Saturday night till 12
o clock and in the same room he
has a large standard thermometer
which registered zero before (lay.
Mr. J. M. latchler says he had
three head of cattle frozen to
death an his place west of town.
A thernmometer on the north side
of Rev. MI, E. Ilawkins' house
registered 10 degrees below zero
Sunday morning.
All the large Texas streams
were frozen over during the late
snap, a thing that has not occurred
for many years.
RI-PORTS oming in from various
parts of the state, indicate
that the damage by the late blizzardl
to wheat, oats and cattle
will be heavy.
I)n:. MOORE, one of the earliest
'settlers of Collin county, has kept
,a weather record ever since he
came to Texas and says that on
,Jan. 17, 1857 the mercury was 7
degrees below zero, but Sunday,
Feb. 1, 1899, broke that record.
TilE anniversary of the blowing
tip of the battleship Maine was
observed at Havana, New York,
Philadelphia and other places on
the 15th. The event was marked
fat the latter place by the beginning
of work on a powerful manof-war,
which will bear the name

ANi- eoxhaInge says the list of
ooean disasters for the year' 1898
is a long one. It was no doabt
the most disasterous to the Spanish-lavy
in its history.
THEE'state senate has passed a
bill making it a fiue of from $25
to $100 for ay; personto sell, give
or, barter cigarettes, or tobacco in
any of, itq forms to a youth , under
16 years old. The bill will d6ubtlest
pass. the house and become a
low.
It seQems that the prospects of
Galjeston to become a great port
and pommercial center are looming
up and her people are ready
to encourage capital to, develop
her possibilities. The Galveston
city council have granted the
Southern Pacific all they, ask.
AN exchange is curious to
know how the increase of the
army to 100,000 men, a large
portion of whom will of course
be negroes, will be taken by the
people of Texarkana, where members
of the 10th cavalry (col.)
committed outrages against law
and order and then resisted civil
authorities.
THE Dallas News tells the
farmer of the advantages expansion
will bring in the increased
l quantities of foreign products at
much lower prices, but fails tc
tell him of the increased tax
) burden he will have to bear tc
- support a large standing army
3 land navy to garrison the islands
' and fight our colonial wars.
UNITED STATES officers in Cuba
say there is a conspicuous absence
of Cuban men and their where.
abouts are a mystery. They say
they are not to be found in the
interior nor with Gomez' army
which numbers about 30,000
Towns are found filled with women
and children but no mer
fand their whereabouts is a wonder.s THE Lancaster Herald has past
2 its 12th year and carries its age
e well. Lancaster has made many
r important strides forward since
the HBiALD began to champion
its cause, and the town has shown
its appreciation of the paper's
efforts for its advancement by
according it a liberal patronage.
TiE WHEEL wishes you continu ed
) prosperity, Bro. Green.
Tite following words of warnsing
sounded by the Houston Post
are words to which the American
people might do well to heed. It
says:
The American people, as no
other people 6,n earth, have a way
of rushing ahead recklessly for
the accomplishfnent of any purpose
they may have formed, without
counting the consequences or
asking where the money is to
_ come from. The habit characterizes
eight individuals out of every
ten in managing their private
affairs and it has lately got hold
of the general government.
In the house at Washington.
Friday, Mr. Dockery, of Missouri,
presented a gloomy outlook for
our National finances and onethat challenges the most serious
consideration by all classes of
citizens and members of all political
parties. We are inevitably
drifting under developing policies
either into bankruptcy as a Nation,
or courting a system 9f tx." ;.':':,x''e"...^. 'wt -, : a,

Mr. Dock:ry lhowa that the;
ordinary deficit; !of. the current
[year must reacse 67,000,000,00.
This does not include, however,
a half dozen iterns, such as building
new ships, paying Cuban soldiers,
meeting the increased expenses
under the naval persohel
bill, the appropriations for public
buildings and the possible cost to
the government under the ship
subsidy plan. These matters involve
millions more. At the
least calculation the general treasury
deficit at the close of the year
must reach considerably over
$100,000,000.00.
' IN a discussion recently in the
German reichstag of the relations
between the United States and
Germany, Baron Von Buelow,
the minister of foreign affairs
sai4jn part:
".In America it is very general.
ly assumed,that there prevails in
Germany a feeling of spite and
dislike against Amriqa. Here
there is a widespread idea that
the Americans are animated by
particularly unfavorable sentiment
toward us. I believe that
the people of America are to a
great extent-in the dark relative
to the views of German
public opinion regarding the
* war. German opinion was
never blind to the bril
liant qualities of the Americans
and never begrudged them the
c fruits which rewarded their ef
forts and their victories. Or
r the other hand, German opinion
has not refrained from express
ing human sympathy with the
brave and: severely tried Span
ish nation. (Applause.) Thi,
has been misrepresented and
biased in a perfidous manner
by foreign newspapers
in order to excite distrus
' against us in America. This
however, has in no way affected
our relations with America, whici
do not date from yesterday.
"In the dispatch by Germany
of a squadron to east Asia during
the Hispano-American war we
]were guided solely by the legiti
mate obligation imposed upon us
of protecting German subjects
iand German trade at Manila. W<
were never for a single moment
disloyal to honorable neutrality
(Cheers.)
"I emphatically declare that
the statements which have appeared
in a portion of the foreign
press regarding alleged German
designs in the Philippines or
German support of the Filipino8
against the Americans are the
most barefaced falsehoods."
(Cheers.)
"The assertion that the Ger
man consul general at Hongkong
sold arms to the Filipinos is one
of the plumpest canards that
ever fluttered from a muddy hole
"The intercourse between the
German and American naval
officers at Manila was characterized
by a spirit of mutual courtesy.
Our naval officers conducted
themselves throughout in a
manner to which no blame carbe attached, and the conduct of
the Americans toward them was
just as chivalrous. (Cheers.)
"In protecting German lives
and property, within the limits
of strict neutrality, we exercised
what was our just right, and fulfilled
a national duty (cries of
"Qi4te right"), and we shall
neor allow anything to deter us....~ *~ Q tioZ of......
ar +:'ur shi-p itlXd ; o tihe
Philippies, with: the exception
of:'a sianl beri;er:. We do notbelieve that the safety of German
citizens is jeopardized under
American protection, and we'also
hope to see uninterrupted development
of our trade in the' Philippines
and the West Indies under
American rule. (Cheers)
Baron Von Below, in conclus'ion,
expressed the hope and conviction'that,
with full reciprocity,
mutual, consideration, mutual
respect-and the justice and fairness
which are essential to the
proper relationship of two great
self-respecting peoples, the relations
between the two nationswould
always be tranquil, firm.
and friendly. (Loud and prolonged
applause.)

THE long anticipated event of
the presentation of a sword and
Bible to Captain Philip by the
Sunday school children of Texas
materialized at Galveston on the
15th. The presence of the battleship
Texas and Captain Sigsbee
lent additional attraction to- the
occasion, the details, of which
will be found elsewhere in these
columns.
A local paper is often accued of
bias in regard to. giving personal
notices-commenting on the coming
and going of' some and omitting
others. The accusation is entirely
wrong and unjust. The fault
is with the people and not with
the editor. He is always willing
and even anxious to tell who
comes and goes, if he can find
out. but a country paper cannot
afford to have a score of salaried
reporters and must depend on the
people to some extent for such
news. If you have visitors let us
know who they are and where they
came from; if anything happens
in your vicinity let'us know about
it. _____
