It is no uso donying the fact

TnE Bellvillo Standard is of tho

The stato treasury contains 8475-

The Houston Post says that
never in the history of tho town
has there boon so many weather
prophets'. Tho Interstnto drill bo-
gins on Tuosday and bad weather
would upset all calculations.
Houston is essentially a dry
weather town; wet weather makes
it the muddiest town in Toxas.
So many of the young ministers
callod to tho First Baptist Church
of Salem N. J. havo married and
left that tho congregation has put
its foot down and determined that
hcrcaftor it will oxtend a call only

Caft. James B. Eads is in Lon-

The Now York scnato last week
passed a bill exompting from jury
duty tho officers of banks and in-
surance companies. Tho New York
Sun makos a vigorous protest say
ing tho exemptions from jury ser-
vice arc already too numerous
and that no reason exists for
making bank officers and officers of
insuranco companies a privileged
class in this particular.
. -A
Washington correspondent is
authority for tho statement that
within a few months thoro has
grown up among tho clerks in tho
departments a pcrfoat craze for
speculating in tho New York mar-
kets. A well-known brokor says
that quite a number of woll-to-do
clerks lost their all in. the raid on
Northern Pacific last fall. Just
now crude petroleum is tho favor-
ito nrticlo to gamble in.
It is stated that the House was
never so far behind with business
as it is now and a conference is
b bo held by tho Democrats with
a view of expediting business.
Entiroly too many bills nro intro-
duced. It will take up tho entiro
timo of congress to listen to the
reading of tho bills without taking
any action on them but luckily
tho -bills aro referred to commit-
tees after being read by title
only.

The Houston Ago is not satis
fied with tho action of the Fort
Worth convention. It has been
promising Arthur a solid South in
tho Chicago convention and tho
failure of tho Republicans in Texas
to harmonize and enthuse for him
excites an apprehension that it has
mado a reckless promise. It is
not safo to bet on tbo direction in
which tho Republican cat will
jump.
A conREbroNDENT of tho Galvcs-
ton JN cws says that hanging as a
means of inflicting tho death pen-
alty is barbarous and that shoot
ing or death by electricity should
be substituted. To bo hanged has
always been regarded as a dis
graceful death and for that reason
probably it was adopted as tho
meaus of executing criminals who
by death.

It is notgoncrally known perhaps
that "Mormon" is a puro Greek
word signifyinga monster. How
Joseph Smith the founder of this
sect hit upon tho word is not au
thentically known. Probably if
he had been aware that it was
adopted by tho ornithologists as a
scientific namo for certain web
footed water birds whoso grolcsqno

The Dallas Herald says that

Fur is tho surest and Hippest
word introduced in newspaper
slang. It originated wo think in
Chicago a flip city and it has now
flipped its way south and the flip
papers of Texas will soon be tak
ing the word up and flipping it into
every flip paragraph thoy can in-
vent. Tho word is used in tho
same senso as slick when applied
to an adriot rascal or prrt as ap-
plied to a shallow paled young
man who is loquacious. A new
dictionary will bo required pvery
few months if the introduction of
newwords continues.
The beauty of tho existing jury
system in aptly illustrated in the
caso of Ward tried for tho murder
ofFly at Castrovillc. A corre
spondent of tho Dallas Herald says
tho jury stood clovon for murder
in the first dogrco and ono for ac
quittal. Tho ono said he would
compromise on" five years and tho
eleven camo down to ninty-nino
years. The facts in the caso woro
clear and tho ono contrary man
had been workod into tho jury by
tho defense. Tho jury refused to
rcleaso Ward on bail and an ap
plication for a writ of habeas cor-
pus will next bo mako.
TnE Houston Evening Journnl
has a column leader on tho roccnl
episode at a church in Guadalupe
county tho other Sunday morning
when two young mon engaged in
a shooting boo and ono lost his
life. Tho presumption is that it
is fashionablo to go to church in
that portion of Gaudalupo county
where the shooting took place on
Sunday with six-shooters and
there is no use carrying a six-
shooter unless somebody can be
shot. Tho penalty for carrying a
pocket gun should uo imprison
ment; tho mere infficition of a
nominal fino is of no effect.
It is roported that Gonoral Tro-
vino has temporarily absontcd
himself from Monterey in order to
avoid a compliance with tho perem-
ptory orderfrom tho local officers
at the City of Moxico to report to
them in person. It is well under-
stood that a compliance with tho
order means that Trovino will be
held a prisoner until after the
presidential election in June and
tho Diaz government was fully in-
augurated. In Mexico they do
things in a way that is peculiar
and that nro not at all in accord-
ance with our ideasof a republican
government and yet Mexico
claims to be a model republic.

In case Ireland is not nominated
how would D. C. Giddings ofi

Waxahachio Mirror. Colonel Gid-

Judok Wxtii who is presiding
in tho criminal court at Washing-
ton beforo whom Kollogg is being
tried took occasion to say that
tho timo of tho court was too pre-
cious to bo wasted in trifles and
he was not going to make Star
Route businoss out of Kcllogg's
caso. It seems from what the judgo
said about having learned n lesson
during tho other case that will
nover bo forgotton by him that
the lawyers employed for tho
prosecution and dofonco will bo
hold in by a tightor roin than thoy
wcro in tho Dorsov case. His
honor has shown good senso in the
mattor and it is to bo hoped Kol-
loggs trial will bo disposed of
spcodily.

The Sherman Courier suggests
that a house of correction or refor-
mation bo established near Sher-
man having Cooko Collin Fan-
nin and Grayson counties as a field
from which to draw students. In
almost every county there aro
numbers of boys who aro growing
up in idleness and many of whom
mako a practice of pitty thieving
as a means of procuring a subsist-
nncc. It was proposod at tho last
session of tho legislature to estab-
lish a Stato reformatory but for
somo reason it fell through. It is
useless to send young boys of from
10 to 15 years of ago to tho peni
tentiary as it would only mako
them worse instead of better. This
is subject of much importance and
is ono that should be brought be
foro tho legislature at its next
meeting.

Politeness.
PolHenoss is to a 'man what
beiuty is to a woman. It -creates
an instantaneous impression in his
behalf whilo the opposite quality
exercises as Kjuick as prejudice
against him. Polished manners
havo made hundreds successful
whilo the best of mon with tacir
hardness and coolness have dono
themselves an incalcuahle injury
tho shell being so rough that the
world could not believe that thece
was a precious kernol within it.
Had Raleigh never flung down his
cloak in the mud for the proud
Elizabeth to walk on hig career
through life would scarcely have
been worth recording. Droves of
men havo been successful in lifo by
pleasing- manners alone. It is a
trait of character well worth culti-
vation. Never forget tho value
of true civility.
Langlitcr.
We all know tho infection of a
merry ringing Jangh and wo do
know as too delight of one that is
mellow am. sweot-ostho peal of a
silver boll? It is as easy to cnl-
Urate a musical laugh as a musical
voice nnd how rich and entertain-
ing it-is. "Call it tho well's bub-
bling the bird's warble 1" Ladies
whoTvould charm by their grace-
ful carriage and supplo movement
do not hesitato to acquire such ac-
complishments by careful training.
Then why not practice the tones
in laughing until they become as
invariaoly melodious as they aro
genuine? Thero need bo no move
affectation in this than in develop-
ing a puro sweot tone in speaking
or singing and it is a matter -decidedly
worth considering."
