THE STATE BANK TAX.
The state (tank tax repeal was
defeated in the house Wednesday
by about 60 majority. It was
voted for by 102 democrats and
voted against hy 75 democrats,
88 republicans and all the popu-
list*—9. This disposes of another
one of tlie pledges in the demo-
cratic platform. The democrats
voting for it were mainly the sil-
ver men and those against it prin-
cipally from the eastern states.
What excuse they will render we

Only of Their Own Safety -Sheltered and
Saved by an American.
Miss Anna L. Bicknell, who was for'
many years a governess in the family of
one of the ladies of the Empress Euge-
nie's household, writes of "The Tuile-
ries Under the Socoud Empire" in The
Century, from which we take the fol j
lowing account of the escape of tho em-
press after the downfall of Napoleon in j
the Franco-German war:
The chamber of deputies had been in- \
vaded by the mob; the downfall of the '
j empire had been decreed; the republic
had Ixfii yfoclaimeil. The cries of the
jocular fury were heard iu the very

for the repeal of the tax. Of j or. The crowd reached the reserved gar- I

The big strikes are about over
for the present. The strikers have
resorted to violence and murder
and when that is done they soon
play out. The law is not so weak
in this country that men can com-
mit murder and outrage publicly
Ix'cause forsooth somehodv else
and themselves have a difference
of opinion. So long as men who
feel aggrieved at their employers
do nothing that threatens the dig-
nity of the law and the peace and
safety of society they and their
employes will l>e left to fight it
out. lint when they interfere
with the rights of others, when
they destroy the property and
take life to carry their point,
then an enraged public will soon
see that they are squelched.
In the great railroad strike on
the Gould system in Texas a few
years ago the strikers succeeded
in tying up commerce for some
time. The people seemed to
sympathize with them and it
looked as though they would win.
IUit in an evil hour violence was
resorted to ;it Fort Worth. An
o tlicer was killed and another
wounded for trying to move trains.
In a moment the whole situa-
tion changed. The whole machin-
ery of the state was put in opera-
tion. The trains began moving at
once and the man who would
again have attempted to slop them
would have been shot down on
the spot. S» it will 1 x' with the
miners.
An engineer was killed l>\ them
y«st rday at l'ra/il. fnd., because
they had decided it would help
them to have the trains stop run-
ning. 1 he railroad men and
other citizens will likely lynch
the murderers, and the strike will
I*' a miserable failure. When-
ever they resort to such means as
this they are sure to fail, and it
does seem thai they ought to
Unow l>el ter.
No man denies their rigid to
demand better wages if they can
get them, and to stop work until
they force their employers to
come to their terms. Ibit when it
conies to using violence or d. st rov-
ing property the people of this
country will not stand it. The
employers would have as much
right to use violence to force (hem
to work for less wages as they
have to use it to force wages up.
Neither have this right.
national banks, and in some states
perhaps drive them out. Hut it
could only do this by offering a!
Itetter system.
Some of Mr. Cleveland's friends,
among them Tracy and Cuiu-
inings of New York and Harter of j
Ohio voted for the bill, bjit most
of the anti-silver democrats voted
against it.
I This action will do the party no
good in the south.
Thk defeat of the bill to repeal
the tax on states banks does not
hurt Texas. She could not have
them even if the bill passed.

It seems to me that in most cases tho
perfect jaiy would be one made up of
mt n and women in eipial numbers. Tlia
fundamental idea of the jury is that i$
atlords a ^ismI average opinion on the
case Ik fore it, and that this average U
more likely to approximate justice than
the decision of any number of legal ex-
p its In view of the admitted differ-
ences lictweeii the mental operations of
men and women, would not the intro-
duetioa of the latter into the jury lioX
give a juster average of human senti-
ment than is secured under the present
system? Tin re is another consideration,
less important in theory, but probably of
great practical value. Hunger and thirst
and impatience of confinement often
drive the masculine jury to decisions
which must cause tho goddess of thfl
bandaged eyes to shed copious tears be-
hind the voluminous folds which secure
her impartiality. By her established in-
difference to creature comforts woman
would raise the moral tone of juries and
compel decisions on abstract principles.
When a protracted session was in pros-
pect, she would first make up her mind
and then take out her embroidery and
wait for the other jurors to come around
to her posiiton.—Kate Field's Washing-

dors now entreated the empress to leave
the palace, but she warmly rejected tho
proposal. The daughter of a noble race,
with the heroic blood of the (iernians
(low ing in her veins, she could not but
consider tliglit as an act of cowardice,
hlie w :us a sentinel left to defend tho
post, and she would die tin re. The roar
of the mob tiecume louder and louder;
the cries of "Vive la ri publique!" were
distinctly heard.
"Madame," then said her faithful
secretary, Pietri, "by remaining here
you will cause a general massacre of
your attendants. "
She seemed struck by this, and turn-
ing to General Mellinet she said:
"Can you defend tho palace without
bloodshed''"
"Madame, I fear not. "
"Then all is over, " said tho empress.
She turned to those present. "Gentle-
men, can you l>ear witness that I have
done my duty to the last'r"
They hastily answered "Yes," arjain
urging In r to leave.
All her usual attendants of tho serv-
ice d'honneur were assembled in tho
rose colored room—a fairy bower, ill
suited as a frame for such a tragic pic-
ture. and which she was never to see
again. She bade farewell to all. Str.uigo
to say—;unl the inexplicable fact has
never been denied nor excused—not one
of those present offered to follow her,
not one asked her where she was seek-
ing a refuge. Le t us hasten to add that
her ever faithful friend and follower,
the Due de liassano, was not there. He
was at the senate house vainly trying
to stem the HoimL But. there were oth-
ers who could have tilled his place.
All were bewildered and absorbed by
selfish fears. One lady who filled a sec-
ondary though confidential post in tho
household. Mine. Lebreton, sister to
General Bourbaki, followed her unhap-
py mistress into exile. With one faith-
ful attendant, Pietri, and the two em-
bassadors, the empress threaded the gal-
leries communicating with the Louvre
while the mob broke into the Tuileries
on the other side. There was a door of
communication which was found lin k-
ed, and for one brief moment anxiety
was intense, hut the key w:is happiiy
found, and crossing the splendid gallery
of A|h)Uo in the Louvre the fugitives
found their way into the placc opposite
the Church of Saint Germain l'Auxer
rois.
Two columns of insurgents were coin-
ing in different directions. The danger
w as great, and the Austrian embas sador.
Prince Mi tternich, w-nt 111 ha>te t ■ set 1c
his carriage. Meantime a strut boy
called out, "There is the cnipnss!"
Much alarmed, the Italian embassador,
Chevalier Nlgra, hastily thrust the em-
press and Mine. Lebreton into a hackney
carriage and turned to silence the l>..y
The driver, frightened at the approach
of the mob, drove off in violent haste,
and the two embassadors immediately
lost sight of the vehicle.
The impress had 110 money about her,
and when. 011 reaching a quieter region,
the driver a>ked h< r where he was t i
take her she knew net whither to go.
Several calls were made at the house .4
of friends. None was at home, and tho
empress, utterly exhausted, and not
knowing where to find a refuge, sud
denlv rcmemK'red that Dr. Evans, the
American dentist, lived near, and to
him she went Dr. Evans was about to
go to dinner and at first refused to soe
the unknown lady who came at such an
unpropitious time, but as she insi-ttd
upon speaking to him h • came out and
was struck with astonishment on finding
himself in the presence of the fugitive
empress. To his honor be it said that
never in the days of imperial prosperity
could she have met with more respect
or more devoted zeal in her service than
was now shown by Dr and Mrs. Evan-
Nothing that could be done for her com-
fort was neglected, and Dr. Evans never
left his imperial guest until he had
safely landed her on the English shore.
Here at least there was neither ingrati-
tude nor selfish fear, and the conduct of
Dr. Evans on this memorable occasion
will be remembered as a title of honor
to his name and to his country

HER PEOPLE.
Texas is a cosmopolitan state,
but native Americans predomin-
ate. The negro population of the
state is small compared to other
southern states and the "race
problem" cuts no figure here. The
state is settled largely with immi-
grants from different parts of the
I'nion, those from the southern
and western states predominating.
I.AWS.
The laws of Texas are made for
her own people and are the most
liberal, equitable and just any-
where.
homestead lam's
Are the most liberal, and her col-
lection laws the most lenient to be
found in any state in the Union.
These laws 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, nude and female.
"See. 50.—The homestead of a
family shall l>e 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 w hen 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
-dial! the owner, if a married man,
sell the homestead without the
consent of the wife given in such
manner as may be prescril>ed by
law.
"No mortgage trust, deed or
ither lien on the homestead shall
■vor be valid, except for the pur-
chase money thereof, improve-
ments made thereon gas hereinbe-
fore provided, whether such mort-
gage or trust deed or other lien
-hall have l>een created by the hus-
-aml alone or together with his
vife: and all pretended sales of
he homestead involving any con-
iition of defeasance shall t>e void.
"Sec. 51.The homestead not in a
own or city, shall consist of not
iK.re than 200 acres of land, w hich
may l>e in one or more parcels,
with the improvements thereon:
the homestead in a city, town or
village shall consist of a lot or
lots not to exceed in value $5000
at the time of their designation as
a homestead w ithout reference to
the value of any improvements
(hereon. ****>>
the wages
of the laboring man, whether mar-
ried or not, are as sacred as the
household.
Section 28 of Art. 1G of the con
stitution reads: "No current
wages for personal service shall
ever l>e subject to garnishment."
The statutes exempt the follow-
ing personal property from forced
sale:
"All household and kitchen fur-
niture. All implements of hus
bandry. All tools, apparatus and
books belonging to any trade or
profession. The family library
and all family portraits and pic-
tures. Five milk cows and their
calves. Two yoke of work oxen,
with necessary yokes and chains.
Two horses and one wagon. One
carriage or buggy. One gun.
Twenty head of sheep. All sad-
dles, bridles and harness necessary
for use of the family. All pro-
visions and forage on hand for
