ANNOUNCEMENT.
We are authorised to announce Ken L
Miller a candidate for the offlce of district
clerk at the election to Im> held Not. «.
Sir Miles Crowley is one of
the big men at the state conven-
tion.
It is a cheering spectacle to see
George Clark and Jim Hogg hob-
nobbing at a convention.
Governor Hogg shaving ofl
his whiskers would indicate that
he was for Cnlberson. But it may
only have been done to show that
he is not an anarchist.
Were it not for the silver issne
Poiudexter would have a sure
thing of going to congress from the
Dallas district. He is by far the
best material in the race.
Governor Hogg is having as
much fan at the convention as any
of the boys. The governor is one
of the boys anyway, if he does
lean toward Grandpa Reagan.
The passage of the tariff bill
will start business all over the
country. It ought to havQ been
passed a month ago. But now
that it has come everybody is
happy.
It is very galling on Mr. Cleve-
land to have to surrender at all,

Dallas, Aug. 14.—The great
convention has not yet l>een organ-
ized, but much of its work has
been mapped out. Very little will
lie done today except carry out
the program arranged by the exec-
utive committee.
The convention will lie called
to order at 12 o'clock by ('hair-
man Waller Baker.
Judge J. It. Fleming of San
Antonio will l>e made temporary
chairman. The committees on
credentials and permanent organi-
zation will be appointed and noth-
ing can lie done until after they
report. That will probably l>e to-
night. Then the platform com-
mittee will lie appointed, and the
fun will begin tomorrow in earn-
est.
There will lie a struggle over
the platform. There is a great
deal of blustering talk, but when
the thirty-one members of the
platform committee go to their
room wiser counsels will prevail
and a conservative platform will
be reported and the convention
will adopt it.
The Cleveland sentiment in the
convention is very aggressive, but
this is merely to offset Judge
Reagan's radical views and get an
honorable compromise.
The Cnlberson caucus last night
was attended by at least 1200 del-
egates, and the speakers were en-
thusiastic.
Judge Crawford made a ringing
Cleveland speech and was cheered
to the echo. Mr. Ballinger of
Galveston did the same.
Mr. Cnlberson in his speech ad-
vocated, it is true, a platform that
did not straddle on anything, but
it is a fact that he does not want a
radical silver plank even if he
does talk that way.
There will probably be a com-
pioruise on the Chicago platform.
Any democrat can conscientiously
stand on that and no one onght to
ask more.
Will the two-thirds rule be done
away with! It is hard to say.
Even among Culberson's strong
supporters, where his nomination
is a certainty with the majority
rule, we find strong opposition to
doing away with the two thirds
rule, and it is yet an open ques-
tion. Judge Reagan's forces have
switched and are now fighting for
the two-thirds rule. The Cleve-
land men are doing the same.
Mr. Lanhain, whose only show is
that rule, is taking no stock in the
fight.
Barney Gibbs says if the ma-
jority rule is adopted Culberson
will lie nominated, but if the two-
thirds rule is adhered to Lanham
will lie the man.
Judge Fleming, who has been
selected for temporary chairman,
was a Clark man two years ago.
Col. Hamby of Austin has gener-
ally been agreed upon for perma-
nent chairman. He was a Hogg
man. He is now a McCall man.

i suffering child
Head and Scalp Raw with
Places Size of Silver Dollar. Va-
rious Remedies only caused Fresh
Eruptions. Applied CUTICURA.
Change in Twenty-four Hours.
Perfect Cure In Two Weeks.
Mv little son, ape<l three, was very much
troubled with a breaking out on his scalp
and behind his ear. The places affected were
about as large as a silver dollar; the flesh
seemed raw and covered with little blisters.
The child suffered considerably, and was nat-
mt-mHy firtftsl. I tried several mnedtes
without obtaining any beneficial results; in
fart the eruptions seemed to be spreading
and new places breaking out. I concluded to
trv the Cl'ticfra Remedies. I washed the
affected parts with the Cl'THTka Soap, tak-
ing care not to irritate the ilesb, and applied
CtTirrRA. I noticed a change for the better
in the appearance of the eruptions in twenty-
four hours, and in two wocks the eruptions
entirely disappeared,leaving the skin smooth
and the scalp clean; in fact a perfect cure,
as I have not seen any indications of any
eruption or breaking out since. I gave ttie
child only a few doses of the CfTlccuA K in-
solvent. I consider your Cctici ka It f.me-

taking care of the boys all right.
Only a few of the delegates from
outside the city are here.
William G. Robinson ofRosston,
W. B. Dameron of Bloomfield and
Morg Faulkner, Burton of Marys-
ville, Blanton of Era and Mitch-
ell of Woodbine are with us. The
delegation is harmonious and
there seems to be little use for the
instruction to vote as a unit.
Tomorrow we will have perhaps
some important news.
If the Fourth district has to get
a new candidate the Hesperian
suggests that General Maxey
would make them a fine congress-
man. He would not have to be
trained as he already knows the
ropes at Washington.
Texas democrats would l>e in a
cruel position on the financial
question were it not for the fact
that it is impossible for them to
get as foolish a platform on that
subject as the populists have.
It is strange that democrats
still insist on the two-thirds rule
after it has caused them so many
disappointments. But many of
them have their hearts set on it
and will not give it np.

Texas is a cosmopolitan state,

lavs.
Tlie laws of Texas are made for
her own people and are the most
liberal, equitable and just any-
where.
homestead laws
Are the most liberal, and her col-
lection laws the most lenient to be
found in any state in the Union.
These law's not only provide
against misfortune, but give the
family a guarantee against waste-
ful extravagance and bad manage-
ment on the part of the husband.
The following extracts from the
state constitution will give an idea
of the protection which the state
throws around a family:
"Art. 17, Sec. 49. The legisla-
ture shall have power, and it shall
be its duty, to protect by law from
forced sale a certain portion of the
personal property of all heads of
families, and also of unmarried
adults, male and female.
"Sec. 50.—The homestead of a
family shall be and is hereby pro-
tected from forced sale for pay-
ment of all debts except for the
purchase of money, the taxes due
thereon, or for work and material
used in constructing improve-
ments thereon, and in this last
case only when the work and ma-
terial are contracted for in writ-
ting, with the consent of the wife
given in the same manner as is
required in making a sale and
conveyance of the homestead; nor
shall the owner, if a married man,
sell the homestead without the
consent of the wife given in such
manner as may be prescribed by
law.
